Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

"If the Quan Xing demon goes there and we go too, wouldn't that mean we are in cahoots with the Quan Xing demon?" Some people felt that this was inappropriate.

"Then what should we do? Go and talk to General Ma and ask him to be on guard against Quan Xing and cooperate with us?" someone suggested.

"It's time now, why do you still care about these things? When the country is in crisis, it doesn't matter if it's full or half sexual, as long as we fight against the Japanese pirates, it's good sexual."

"Yes, as long as Quan Xing is willing to fight the Japanese pirates, we are willing to temporarily put aside past grudges and face the foreign enemy together."

"I say, everyone, we are willing to let go of our grudges, but what if Quan Xing is unwilling to let go?"

"Whether you let me go or not, I will never let go. The Quan Xing demon and I have a grudge against each other for killing my father. I swore an oath at my father's grave that I would kill every Quan Xing I saw. I will never break my oath."

"Yes, Quan Xing insulted my wife and daughter and killed my brother. I swear I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge..."

"Brothers, I understand how you feel. You have a grudge against the Quanxing monster, and so do I. But things have their priorities. We still have to make choices for the sake of our country and our family. Let's first unite with Quanxing to fight against the Japanese pirates. It won't be too late to settle accounts after we've repelled them," someone called out.

"That's easy to say. It's not that heavy on your shoulders until it happens to you."

"That's right. National hatred and family hatred. National hatred and family hatred go hand in hand. We can't ignore family hatred for the sake of national hatred."

"That's right, we have to kill the Japanese pirates, and we have to kill all the monsters too."

……

A group of people began to argue. They all agreed with fighting against the Japanese pirates, but they were reluctant to work with Quan Xing.

It’s not their fault for being pretentious; it’s just that the hatred between them is too deep.

Over the years, the righteous have killed many people from Quan Xing, and Quan Xing has also retaliated against the righteous. There are many cases similar to the situation between Gao Yingcai of Tang Clan and Liang Ting of Quan Xing in the plot. The hatred between the two sides can only be described as a blood feud.

Some people who have no grudges, or have relatively small grudges, are still rational now.

But some people who have great hatred cannot calm down at all at this time.

They even said that they would never go along with Quan Xing. If Mr. Gao and others insisted on going, they would rather withdraw from the alliance and deal with the Japanese pirates alone in their own way.

Seeing this, Patriarch Gao turned his head and looked at Liao Huzi helplessly.

He had anticipated this situation before the meeting and wanted to use the interests of the country to persuade everyone to temporarily put aside their hatred, but he didn't expect that he couldn't suppress it at all.

Liao Huzi didn't look at Mr. Gao. He lowered his head and smoked his pipe with a frown on his face.

He is an old-generation disciple and is quite influential in the Ma family. Even many immortals are willing to give him face.

But in recent years, due to the expansion of the Tiantong Church, Zhang Zhiwei has transferred a large number of immortals from outside the Great Wall to the Great Wall, and has also taken away many disciples who are out on missions.

Now the influence of the Ma family outside the Great Wall has been greatly reduced. Even if he wants to gather the disciples of the Ma family to fight against the Japanese pirates, he is somewhat powerless.

Seeing that Liao Huzi was indifferent, the head of the Gao family looked at Taoist Guo from Tiesha Mountain. Tiesha Mountain is the ancestral home of Taoism in Northeast China and its status is much higher than that of the Gao family.

Seeing Patriarch Gao looking at him, Taoist Priest Guo from Tiesha Mountain nodded at him, stood up and said, "Everyone, please listen to what I have to say."

Taoist Priest Guo was a man of high moral character and prestige. As soon as he opened his mouth, the people who were arguing with red faces stopped.

Taoist Priest Guo continued, "I know it's hard to get everyone to give up their grudges with Quan Xing."

"Speaking of which, many of my disciples from Tiesha Mountain have been killed by the Quanxing monsters, but the current situation is critical, so I am willing to let go of my grudges."

"Of course, if you guys can't let go, I won't force you. In addition to General Ma, there are many forces fighting against the Japanese pirates, such as General Li, General Feng, and General Su."

"It's just that General Ma will be the first to confront the Japanese pirates. If you can't get over it, you can go to other anti-Japanese armed forces."

"Everyone, please help yourself."

After Master Guo finished speaking, the others discussed it for a while, and soon they came to a conclusion.

Some people who were angry and anxious to deal with the Japanese pirates, and who were willing to put aside their grudges with Quan Xing, followed Mr. Gao and others to join General Ma.

There were also some who were unwilling to cooperate with Quan Xing and chose to join General Su and General Feng.

General Feng has already started an uprising at Guanma Mountain and formed a volunteer army to fight against the Japanese invaders, which now has a strength of more than 20,000 people.

General Su established the People's National Salvation Army in Hailar and was planning to declare war on the Japanese pirates.

Of course, not only them, but also many people with lofty ideals want to fight against the Japanese pirates and defend their country, and they can go to these places.

It’s just a pity that these foreigners outside the Great Wall eventually dispersed and did not unite.

Patriarch Gao had actually anticipated this result. In the martial arts world, strength is respected. Power and influence may not necessarily make others submit. Only great strength can convince others.

As for such people, the head of Wudang Sect counts as one, the big and small Heavenly Masters of Longhu Mountain count as two, and the left head of Sanyi Sect counts as one...

If you count it this way, there are actually quite a few, but unfortunately, none of them are outside the Great Wall.

As for the Taoist priests of Tiesha Mountain... Tiesha Mountain is the Longmen Sect of Quanzhen Sect. Many of the Taoist priests there live in seclusion in the mountains and do not care about worldly affairs. They may be very powerful, but they are not well-known and have no appeal.

The most important thing is that they did not take action when the situation outside the Great Wall was in chaos before, and it is estimated that it will be the same this time. It is already a very rare thing for Taoist Master Guo to come.

"It's a pity that the little Taoist priest didn't come. If he had come, he would have been able to integrate everything and deal a heavy blow to the Japanese pirates!" The head of the Gao family sighed.

Taoist Priest Guo said, "Master Gao, the young Taoist priest must have his own considerations. To be honest, I don't blame him for not coming. Our people here are not up to the standard. My fellow Taoist priests all shook their heads when they saw this, unwilling to disturb the peace and quiet. The young Taoist priest has already come twice. In the current situation, even if he came, I'm afraid there's nothing he can do."

Patriarch Gao said, "That's true. Besides, they say that every failure makes one wiser. The Japanese pirates have suffered so much at his hands. It's impossible that they were not prepared for such a big move this time. It's estimated to be very dangerous."

Taoist Priest Guo said: "This is also the opinion of my fellow apprentices. The Japanese pirates came prepared. It is very risky for them to go out. If the Japanese pirates use the means they used to deal with the little Taoist priest on us, it will be dangerous."

"In fact, the danger is secondary. The main reason is that they feel there is no hope of getting out of the mountain, so they choose to turn a blind eye to it."

After saying this, both of them were silent for a moment. They knew about this, and others might know it too, but such morale-destroying words could be thought in one's mind but could not be spoken out loud.

……

After the meeting, everyone left through the secret passage of the secret base and went to their respective destinations.

At the same time, due to the retreat of the main force, two of the three provinces outside the Great Wall had been lost, and the Japanese pirate army was approaching Hecheng, the capital of Heilongjiang Province.

Inside the headquarters, General Ma stared at the sand table, his eyes falling on a sign called Harge Railway Bridge.

This bridge is also called Jiang Bridge. It is built over the Nenjiang River and is the throat leading to Hecheng. If the Japanese pirates want to come to Hecheng, they must go through here.

At this time, a scout with a short stature but big ears came to the headquarters and reported the situation to General Ma. "Commander Ma, I just got the news that two brigades of Japanese pirates have arrived in Tailai County adjacent to Hecheng, and more than a dozen tanks have reached the Jiangqiao position. Not only that, there is also an aviation brigade in Taonan County, with a total of more than 30,000 people."

General Ma frowned after hearing what the big-eared scout said. Not long ago, the Japanese pirates, adhering to the strategy of "using Chinese to control Chinese", bribed Zhang Damazi, the former governor of Taoliao, and then drove him to attack Jiangqiao.

Zhang Damazi led three regiments of puppet troops to attack Jiangqiao.

Faced with this kind of dog traitor, he was not afraid. He directly sent a telegram to the whole country, demanding a fight to the death. Then he went to the front line to supervise the battle personally.

Just at this moment, a young man named Wu Gensheng came to help with a group of weird guys.

Among these people, some called themselves Quan Xing, while others were disciples of various famous and upright sects.

They were mortal enemies, but now that the country is in trouble, they are willing to put aside their hatred and work together to deal with the Japanese pirates.

General Ma, like Marshal Zhang, was born into a gang and naturally knew Quan Xing and some famous and upright sects. Otherwise, if he robbed the wrong people and hit a wall, his life would be in danger.

Upon learning that they came to help, General Ma was overjoyed. He received them politely and then arranged them to the front line of the battle.

Are you kidding me? How could an old veteran like him not know what kind of people Quan Xing is? They are much more brutal than Hu Zi.

He was worried that these villains were pretending to surrender but were actually helping the Japanese pirates, so he placed them directly on the front line and ordered the supervision team to keep a close eye on them. If they were found to be traitors, they would be shot.

As for those famous and upright sects... he didn't know whether they were real or fake. In order to avoid any fraud, he arranged them all to the front line.

Anyone would have complaints if they brought people to join the enemy but were arranged to be cannon fodder on the front line. However, Wu Gensheng was not angry, and neither were the people in Quan Xing.

They came here for no other reason than to be extremely angry and wanted to kill a few Japanese pirates to vent their anger.

Being arranged to be at the front line is exactly what they want.

However, the disciples from the famous and upright sects who were attracted by Wu Gensheng's personal charm had some complaints, but since Quan Xing the monster didn't say anything, they couldn't get angry either, so they also went to the front line together.

As for the outcome of the battle... Under the fire cover of the Jiangqiao defenders, they rushed into the puppet army, killing people in all directions like a tiger into a flock of sheep.

The three puppet army regiments were defeated and even their commanders were killed.

It was also because of this battle that General Ma recognized these extraordinary people, began to feel relieved, and entrusted them with important tasks.

Even that guy named Wu Gensheng was about to become his military advisor, following him to give advice and study troop formations, and was closer to him than his adjutant.

General Ma sometimes wondered in his heart, he had only known this guy for less than half a month, how could he be so open with him?

But no matter how puzzled he was, he never doubted the other party. It was because he felt a special personal charm in Wu Gensheng that made people believe in him involuntarily.

"This battle is not easy to fight!" General Ma stared at the sand table and said in a deep voice.

He only had more than 13,000 men under his command, and the two sides had a huge disparity in military strength. Moreover, the Japanese pirates were now blockading Heilongjiang Province, and logistics was also a problem.

"Although it is a little difficult to fight, it is not impossible. We still have a chance!" Wu Gensheng followed.

"What do you mean?" General Ma asked.

Wu Gensheng said: "We have already attracted the attention of the whole country by defeating the puppet army before."

"Next, what we need to do is to severely dampen the Japanese pirates' spirit and let the people in the rear know that the Japanese pirates are not invincible and there is nothing to be afraid of."

"At that time, the people were very excited. Even if the generals were weak, the boiling public opinion would push them to send more troops to support us in fighting against the Japanese pirates."

"Plus, the international community will not allow the Japanese pirates to become powerful, and they will definitely mediate. Maybe we can take this land back."

General Ma nodded. In fact, he thought so too.

With his current strength, if he really went against the entire Japanese pirate group, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

What he had to do was to set an example for his superior and let him know that those damn Japanese pirates were also just a head on two shoulders, and that it was actually no big deal.

At present, our leaders’ fear of the Japanese pirates mainly comes from a great war with the Russians a few years ago.

A few years ago, our leaders were still very hot-blooded. When the Russians made trouble, they faced them directly and toughly, and in the end they even resorted to a confrontation between the two armies.

How brave were we at that time?!
However, he underestimated his opponent and was ultimately defeated by the opponent's iron torrent.

This incident left a huge shadow on him, and he became afraid of the Japanese pirates.

Because in the early years, the Japanese pirates defeated the Russian army.

In his opinion, the steel torrent of the Russians was almost invincible, and the Japanese pirates were even more powerful than the Russians, so what was the point of fighting? Wouldn't that be sending his brothers to their deaths?
General Tajima is different. He and the old marshal have experienced the war between the Russians and the Japanese pirates together.

He knew that the Russians were better equipped than the Japanese pirates and that they lost because of internal problems within the Russians, not because the Japanese pirates were really stronger than the Russians. He had disagreed with fighting the Russians last time, but his superior was too brave.

And through the last battle with the Russians, he witnessed the Russian military strength, which was much stronger than before.

Similarly, they are much stronger than the current Japanese pirates, which means that they chose the wrong opponent last time.

If their opponents were replaced by Japanese pirates, they would not be without the ability to fight.

We must fight a good battle... General Ma thought to himself.

Immediately, he looked at the big-eared scout Zhang Huaiyi who was standing not far away.

After Zhang Huaiyi practiced the divine mask, one of the magical powers he obtained was the supernatural power of hearing, which was very useful for gathering intelligence. It was natural for him to become a scout.

"Little brother, keep exploring. If those damn bastards make any moves, report to me immediately!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Huaiyi responded, and his figure flashed and disappeared in the room.

Wu Gensheng looked at Zhang Huaiyi's back and thought to himself that if his senior brother, the Big Ear Scout, was here, everything would be much simpler.

In fact, Wu Gensheng also anticipated that the Japanese pirates would set up a tight net to focus on blocking Zhang Zhiwei.

That's why he came here. It can be said that his main purpose of coming here was to help Zhang Zhiwei put out the fire and rescue him.

But he never expected that Zhang Zhiwei didn't come at all.

Brother Zhiwei, where is the tacit understanding between us? Wu Gensheng sighed inwardly. (End of this chapter)
