While the three of them were talking and laughing, Su Bairen and Duanmu Hong walked over together. Su Bairen asked, "Ziling, how have the Songhu Legion been preparing in the past two months? Are there still any shortages of people?"

Shi Ziling hurriedly stood up and said, "The sergeants at the grassroots level have almost been recruited, and the next step is to step up training to form combat power." However, there are still some gaps in the generals, especially the positions above the rank of deputy general, including the candidates for the left and right commanders, have not yet been decided. ”

"Although I have transferred a group of familiar generals from the southern camp to help, the garrison also needs to employ people, so I can't transfer all the people and horses from the original southern camp. At present, Ma Yu and I are conducting selection within the legion every day, hoping to find a suitable candidate as a general as soon as possible. ”

Su Bairen said: "Ziling, the Duanmu family has contributed a lot to the formation of the Songhu Legion this time, and Duanmu's predecessors also hope that his two grandsons can enter the legion to serve, since the left and right commanders of the legion have not yet been decided, do you think you should let the two Duanmu sons try?"

Shi Ziling and Ma Yu glanced at each other, and couldn't help but have a headache. Although Shi Ziling is the commander of the Songhu Legion, after all, it is still under the jurisdiction of Su Bairen, the governor of the east, and since Su Bairen has opened his mouth, it is indeed difficult to refuse.

What's more, the Duanmu family contributed money and efforts in the preparation of the Songhu Legion, and it did help a lot, and in return, arranging the two sons of the Duanmu family to be generals is a tacit thing for everyone.

However, all of a sudden, such an important position as the left and right commander of the regiment commander was handed over to the people of the Duanmu family, whether it was Shi Ziling or Ma Yu, they still felt that something was wrong.

Duanmu Hong said with a smile: "Ziling, among my many grandsons, Xuan'er and Lun'er are the most outstanding in character and martial arts, and they have always wanted to do something for our east. Young people, we must always give them more opportunities to experience and experience. This time the Songhu Legion is newly formed, I have long thought of letting them learn more things under you, and Lord Su also agrees when he hears it, I don't know what you mean?"

Ma Yu didn't say anything, because his sister married into the Duanmu family and was considered an in-law with Duanmu Hong, although he felt that Duanmu Hong's suggestion was inappropriate, it was not easy to refute it.

Yu Wei was even more in awe when he saw Su Bairen and Duanmuhong, the two most powerful people in the east, standing aside respectfully, his big face flushed, and he looked quite excited. For him, the opportunity to stand with these two big names is already quite a great honor.

Shi Ziling frowned slightly, and said: "Master Su, Senior Duanmu, don't hide it from the two of you, although the positions of the left and right commanders have not yet been determined, I already have a preliminary candidate in my heart, and I originally wanted to wait for it to be determined before officially declaring it to Lord Su." ”

"We are conducting a competition within the legion these days, and the most successful candidate must be able to dominate the crowd, and in addition, the candidate should also have some experience in commanding soldiers and horses. Now it is a little difficult for me to suddenly propose to let the two Duanmu sons serve as them. ”

Su Bairen and Duanmu Hong heard Shi Ziling say this, and their faces were a little ugly. Especially Duanmu Hong, his face obviously showed displeasure.

In Duanmu Hong's mind, their Duanmu family contributed a lot of money for the formation of the Songhu Legion, and in return, it was reasonable to arrange two commanders for his two grandsons, not to mention that Su Bairen had already agreed, but he didn't expect Shi Ziling to refuse.

Duanmu Hong said: "Although my two grandsons have not officially led troops, when it comes to martial arts cultivation, they are still among the best among the younger generation in Songhu City. Aren't you in the process of selecting talents in your legion, you might as well let them compare, although you can't compare with Ziling, but compared to those deputy generals, captains or something, there must still be a good chance of winning. ”

Su Bairen also said: "Ziling, do you already have a candidate? Why don't I know Lu Dao at all? Who is it?"

Even Ma Yu was a little surprised, although he also thought that it was very inappropriate to hand over such an important position as the left and right commanders to Duanmuxuan and Duanmulun brothers, but as far as he knew, Shi Ziling actually didn't think of a suitable candidate. Seeing Su Bairen asking at this time, Ma Yu was of course very concerned.

Shi Ziling said unhurriedly: "I originally planned to ask Vice Admiral Mu Baishuang Mu of the general camp to be the commander of the Songhu Legion, but I don't know what she wants? ”

Duanmu Hong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, his grandson Duanmu Xuan had lost to Mu Baishuang in the martial arts competition for the selection of deputy generals, and Duanmu Hong knew Mu Baishuang's strength. Although his two grandsons are good, they are indeed a step behind Mu Baishuang, not to mention that Mu Baishuang also has actual experience in leading soldiers, and he is indeed better than his grandsons in terms of strength and qualifications.

Su Bairen was also stunned when he heard that it was Mu Baishuang, but thinking about what Shi Ziling said, it was indeed very reasonable, the left and right commanders of the Songhu Legion were only important positions for the commander of the legion, and Su Bairen also hoped that the most suitable person could take the role, although he wanted to sell Mu Hong a face, but after all, the overall strength of the Songhu Legion was more important.

Su Bairen asked: "There are two candidates for the left and right commanders, what about your other candidate for Ziling?"

Shi Ziling said: "Another candidate, I plan to promote one of the Wei Song and Wei Hu brothers to take on the role. The two brothers have been following me since I entered Nanying, and later accompanied me to Narcissus City to escort Nangong Xia, and they know my way of leading troops very well. They have also received some guidance from me in martial arts, and their strength has improved a lot in recent times. ”

"I think it will be more beneficial for me to command the whole army in the future with Mu Baishuang as the left commander and one of the Wei brothers as the right commander. ”

Su Bairen said: "Vice General Mu is indeed a talent, although she is a female general, but I heard that she leads the troops well, and the sergeants and generals under her command admire her very much, Ziling is willing to invite her to serve as a commander in the legion, which is indeed a good idea." But I don't know anything about Wei Song and Wei Hu you are talking about, what position are they in now?"

Shi Ziling said: "At present, these two people are only a thousand general positions. ”

"Mr. Qian?"

Su Bairen was surprised: "Ziling, they are still just a small Qianzong, even if they are really talented, but they were suddenly promoted to commanders, I'm afraid they don't follow the rules." Besides, it's hard to convince the public!"

"I think the two sons of the Duanmu family are also very good candidates, it's better to be like this, one of the two commanders will be selected by Mu Baishuang, and the other will be made by Duanmuxuan or Duanmulun. You said that Wei Song and Wei Hu will be promoted to lieutenants for the time being, what do you think of this?"

Duanmu Hong was not bad when he heard it, although he only got one of the positions of the two commanders, it was better than not having one. Mu Baishuang's strength is indeed above Duanmu Xuan, so there is nothing to say, since Su Bairen is willing to give up a command seat to the Duanmu family, it is also acceptable to him.

Duanmuhong hurriedly said: "It's still Lord Su who is wise, I think it's okay, let Xuan'er be the commander, Lun'er will be a captain first, and then make plans after seeing their performance." ”

Su Bairen and Duanmu Hong both looked at Shi Ziling, waiting to see what he meant.

Shi Ziling frowned and pondered for a while, and finally said: "Master Su is also very reasonable, think about the qualifications of the Wei Song and Wei Hu brothers are indeed a little shallow, since Master Su is willing to promote them to school captains, I think it is also a good result for them." The two sons of the Duanmu family should also be a good choice, so it is up to Lord Su's wishes. ”

Su Bairen and Duanmu Hong were very happy to see Shi Ziling agree, although the final personnel appointment must be approved by Su Bairen, but if Shi Ziling, the number one master in the east and the commander of the army, insisted on refusing to give in, it would be very troublesome. Now the candidates recommended by Shiziling and the Duanmu family each choose one of them, which can be regarded as a happy result.

Su Bairen was very happy and said: "Then it is decided, Mu Baishuang and Duanmu Xuan will be the left and right commanders of the Songhu Legion, and try their best to assist Ziling, the commander of the legion." Duanmulun and the Wei brothers are captains, and Ma Yu, the counselor, is the military division, so that the main generals of our Songhu Army are almost neat. ”

"As long as you practice well under your leadership Ziling, I believe that the Songhu Legion will definitely become the ...... of a legion on the Bright Moon Continent that cannot be underestimated."

The housewarming banquet of the day was lively until the evening, and after seeing off the guests, everyone in the Yu family sat together, still very excited.

Yu Zhengmiao said: "Ziling is now in full swing, our Yu family is also like a fish in water in Songhu City and even the entire east, now our family's business is really too busy to be busy, and those who are willing to do business with us are the largest and most well-known merchants on the current Mingyue Continent, with the golden sign of Ziling, the prestige of our Yu family is also rising day by day." ”

Ma Yu said with a smile: "It's just the beginning, and in the future, when Miss Yu and Xiaohui officially pass the door, the prestige of your Yu family will definitely go to a higher level." At that time, I am afraid that in addition to the Duanmu family, the rest of your family in the east will be the most powerful. ”

Yu Zhengmiao naturally smiled from ear to ear, and said: "If it weren't for Yulan's 'Pure Heart Formula' that hadn't succeeded, I really hoped that their marriage would be done soon, and my father in the countryside of Pan'an sent someone to urge the marriage several times." By the way, Deping's eldest nephew in the countryside also plans to come to Songhu City to develop, Ziling, you can take a look at it, can you arrange a position for him?"

Ma Yu said: "Isn't that easy, Ziling's Songhu Legion is recruiting a large number of people, and although the promotion of the rank above the rank of lieutenant still needs the approval of the Governor Su, the general generals have the final say on Ziling." As long as Ziling says a word, it is not easy to arrange a position as a general. ”
