Ma Tengxi and Ma Zijie, father and son, rushed from Binzhou to Jilin, while Ma Zihui stayed in Binzhou. After coming to Jilin, Ma Tengxi and his son did not go to see Wu Xingquan for the first time, but chose to understand the reality of Jilin first.

Relying on the connections left at the beginning, Ma Tengxi soon knew that what Ma Zihui said before was true. Jilin, controlled by Wu Xingquan's father and son, has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes. Not to mention anything else, an army of more than 50,000 people and an arsenal alone are enough for their father and son to dominate the Northeast. Not to mention, the potential for follow-up development is still so amazing.

Ma Tengxi and his son had to believe that Wu Xingquan and his son were already much stronger than them. If they want to plot Heilongjiang, their Ma family will not have the slightest chance.

"Dad, what are we going to do? Do you want to give up on the town? Ma Zijie's two fists were clenched tightly together, because they were so hard that the nails left a deep mark on the palms of his hands, almost pruning.

"Alas, there is no way to do this, if we don't give up, Cheng Dequan will destroy us next spring. And they can also directly defeat Cheng Dequan and then take Heilongjiang over. In that case, there will be nothing to do with our Ma family. Ma Tengxi was a little helpless, being able to become the overlord of a province, of course this was his wish. It's a pity that I didn't grasp the opportunity, and the guide fell short. Now he has to bow to Wu Xingquan's father and son in exchange for the possibility of the family's survival.

"But I'm still very unwilling. It is obviously our inheritance, but now we have to give it to others. Ma Zijie was very annoyed.

"Zijie, you are still young, the road is still very long, we need to plan for the long term. Giving Heilongjiang to the Wu family is the worst plan. If they could accept the marriage, there might be other changes. In short, the most important thing is to ensure that the family is not discredited. "Ma Tengxi's meaning is very clear, that is, the territory can be lost, but the Ma family must save it. On this basis, it is the most important thing to fight for more interests for the Ma family as much as possible.

"Okay, Dad, I got it." Ma Zijie nodded, he knew that there was no way to do it. However, it doesn't mean that he will really bow his head and admit defeat, this is just a stopgap measure. If he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely take back everything that belongs to their Ma family. Of course, before that, he had to keep a low profile. This is also what Ma Tengxi repeatedly told him.

Ma Tengxi knows that his second son has talent. However, it is too arrogant. In this case, if you don't do it, you will bring trouble to yourself.

That night, Ma Tengxi and his son went to visit the Jilin Governor's Mansion. The arrival of Ma Tengxi made Wu Xingquan very surprised and delighted. However, Wu Haoxuan, who followed Wu Xingquan, seemed very calm. In fact, when Ma Tengxi and his son first arrived in Jilin, he already knew.

After the relationship with the Japanese became worse and worse, Wu Haoxuan knew the importance of intelligence. The Japanese intelligence system in China at the moment can be described as very sound. If you don't understand the situation, you will inevitably suffer a great loss in the struggle against the Japanese. Therefore, Wu Haoxuan specially selected capable people from the instructors, the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Jilin Army, and established the Jilin Army Intelligence Bureau, which was responsible for intelligence collection and confrontation with other intelligence agencies. In particular, the intelligence agencies left behind by the Japanese in Jilin and even in the entire northeast must be destroyed.

It's just that the Army Intelligence Bureau has just been formed, and if it wants to confront the Japanese, it is still unable to catch it, and many times it has to rely on the strength of the military so as not to be forced too embarrassed by the Japanese. However, Wu Haoxuan believed that Jilin and even the entire Northeast were their home turf, and with the support of sufficient funds and manpower, the Army Intelligence Bureau would definitely develop bigger and bigger, and eventually defeat the Japanese intelligence agency.

"Oh, old man, you've got a surprise attack. If I had known you were coming, I would have picked you up from outside the city! Wu Xingquan's face was full of smiles, and seeing his old brother again made him very excited.

"Xingquan, I'm taking the liberty to visit, and I hope you will forgive me." Ma Tengxi's face was also full of smiles.

"Haoxuan has seen his uncle." Wu Haoxuan also hurriedly saluted Ma Tengxi, although he knew their intentions, but the number of salutes could not be less.

"Well, I said at the beginning that Haoxuan must be the dragon among men. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. Ma Tengxi looked appreciative. Although, Wu Haoxuan wanted to swallow Heilongjiang, which made Ma Tengxi very annoyed. But he had to admit Wu Haoxuan's talent.

"Uncle has won the prize." Wu Haoxuan hurriedly said, and then saluted Ma Zijie. However, Ma Zijie just responded with a smile. This made Wu Haoxuan's sense of Ma Zijie lower a lot. This guy is really a arrogant person. He didn't care, though. Although Ma Zijie is several years older than him, if Wu Haoxuan wants to pinch Ma Zijie to death now, it is as easy as pinching an ant to death.

After the greetings, Wu Xingquan prepared a sumptuous dinner and found Ma Tengxi and his son. Although, during the banquet, everyone was smiling. However, Wu Haoxuan could clearly feel the anxiety in the hearts of Ma Tengxi's father and son.

Sure enough, after dinner, Ma Tengxi proposed to find a place to talk. Although Wu Xingquan has no ambitions, it does not mean that he is a fool. In fact, when Ma Tengxi's father and son rebelled, he had already guessed their intentions. It's just that he doesn't know how to face Ma Tengxi.

One side is an old brother, and the other side is his own son, he is really a little embarrassed! Unfortunately, things always have to be faced.

Everyone came to Wu Xingquan's study, and after the next person brought tea, they withdrew, leaving only the four of them. None of them spoke first, and for a while, the atmosphere in the study was a little solemn.

"Xingquan, my brother is planted this time, and he is in the army, but he has planted such a big heel in Heilongjiang. This is my brother, I despise the enemy! Otherwise, how could Cheng Dequan, that old boy, be my opponent. Ma Tengxi looked regretful.

"Brother, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. A few of our brothers, who have not failed all the way through such bumps and bumps all the way! Wu Xingquan also sighed. They are all from the grassroots, and it is indeed very difficult to have their current achievements in this troubled era.

"Uncle Wu, this time our Ma family is in trouble, so I implore Uncle Wu to help us, and we will have a retribution in the future." Ma Zijie hurriedly said that even now, he has not given up. Ma Tengxi has already come forward in person, and if he can say that Wu Xingquan can be moved, there may be a turnaround.

"Of course our Wu family will not sit idly by." Wu Xingquan said. It's just that there is only such a dry sentence, how to help the Ma family, but there is no follow-up. If he didn't know Wu Haoxuan's goal before, in order to fulfill the brotherhood, Wu Xingquan might agree to send troops to help Ma Tengxi's father and son. However, now that Wu Xingquan already knows Wu Haoxuan's plan, then he will no longer promise casually.

"Brother Zijie, we have prepared a batch of food and clothes for the winter, and we are preparing to send them to you. Take it with you when you go back. Wu Haoxuan said with a smile. His meaning is obvious, these food and clothes for the winter are the help extended by the Wu family.

Ma Zijie's face suddenly turned unpleasant, what he wanted was not these food and clothing, but the Wu family's weapons, ammunition and army.

"Then thank you, nephew." Ma Tengxi excused.

"Uncle is too serious. We can only help a little. ā€

"Humph! That's because you don't want to. There are tens of thousands of troops under our hands, as long as we borrow 8,000 of them, we will be able to defeat Cheng Dequan. Ma Zijie snorted coldly, he had already planned to restrain his anger, but when he saw Wu Haoxuan's hypocritical look, he couldn't get angry.

"Shut up, what are you talking nonsense?" Ma Tengxi was angry all of a sudden, he had told Ma Zijie before, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't control his anger. In this way, not only will it not be good for the Ma family, but it will also bring disadvantages.

Ma Zijie didn't dare to talk back, it was worth blackening his face and bowing his head without speaking. However, the atmosphere in the study room is more solemn.

"Big brother, don't blame Zijie. This matter is indeed not authentic for my brother. Wu Xingquan said.

Ma Tengxi didn't say much, but his silence undoubtedly showed his inner dissatisfaction.

"Uncle, although we have developed rapidly during this time, the number of troops has also increased several times. However, they were just a group of recruits, who had never been on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness had naturally not yet been formed. In addition, we have too many old enemies, and the Japanese in the south are eyeing us. Therefore, in order to guard against the Japanese, we had to leave enough troops behind. As for the arsenal, the arsenal that has just been built is not enough in production, and even our own troops are not satisfied, let alone supplied to others. Wu Haoxuan explained a few words.

Although he knew that this would make Ma Tengxi's father and son have a pimple in their hearts, and even make Ma Zijie resentful, but for the sake of his goal, he had to do it.

"Haoxuan Xian nephew, you don't need to say this, I'm not a person who doesn't understand things, it's just that I didn't grasp the opportunity, and I can't blame others." Ma Tengxi sighed.

Subsequently, he continued: "Xingquan, I came this time because I have a mention yƬ. The two of us were originally sworn brothers, so let's just go one step further and be a pair of sons and daughters. What do you think? ā€
