Lin Zhan saw it, and the third princess and Situ Mingyue also saw it. Originally, the two of them were afraid that Lin Zhan and Ma Bukong would have a conflict here that would be out of control, so they planned to persuade these two people. But now the third princess and Situ Mingyue have given up this plan, and they have tacitly chosen to be silent.

The Ma family is one of the three giants of the military of the Celestial Star Empire, although it is not as powerful as the Lin family, but it also has a place in the army. Moreover, the Ma family is a relative of the royal family, so the Ma family's foreign policy has always been tough. Because the attitude of the Ma family largely reflects the attitude of the royal family. Showing Ma Bukong, Ma Bukong wrote a way to take the initiative to attack and fight to the death with the enemy.

This Ma Bukong is the eldest and youngest of the Ma family, and he can be regarded as a young talent, and he can be ranked among the younger generations of the Tianxing Empire. The third princess and Situ Mingyue now want to see who is more powerful, Lin Zhan, who is full of mystery, and Ma Bukong, who is already famous.

Lin Zhan leaned forward slightly, looking directly at Ma Bukong: "In this case, I have a few questions I want to ask Young Master Ma." Anyway, Mr. Situ asked us to discuss it in private, presumably, Ma Gongzi would not refuse, right?"

Ma Bukong just used Situ Lan as an excuse to plug Lin Ling's mouth, and now Lin Zhan is using Situ Lan to force Ma Bukong and treat him in his own way, which undoubtedly forced Ma Bukong to a dead end.

Ma Bukong's face changed, this feeling of being turned against the army was really uncomfortable, and he said in a dark manner at the moment: "Okay, then the boy will come to give you a good guide to this waste wood." ”

The third princess and Situ Mingyue next to her couldn't help but sigh when they heard this.

With these few words alone, the gap between Lin Zhan and Ma Bukong has already come out.

Just now, Ma Bukong provoked first, opened his mouth and closed his mouth to waste firewood, clearly insulting Lin Zhan. But Lin Zhan has always been able to deal with it calmly. But on the other hand, Lin Zhan just shot back, and Ma Bukong was already happy and angry on the surface. Just this city government and concentration, Ma Bukong is a big cut behind Lin Zhan.

At this time, Ma Bukong's entire attention was on Lin Zhan's body, and he didn't notice the abnormality of the third princess and Situ Mingyue at all, and he didn't know that his image in the hearts of these two people had plummeted.

Lin Zhan took a moment to complete his life, and first asked: "Ma Gongzi, the first way you said is to mobilize the people around Hot Spring Pass to fight with the soldiers guarding the pass. I want to ask why?"

"Needless to say. Ma Bukong immediately said: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, now the great enemy is pressing, the situation is in danger, the homeland of generations of life is about to be precarious, everyone has the responsibility and obligation to resist foreign enemies." To mobilize the people around the hot spring pass is to fight for all possible forces to keep the hot spring pass. ”

"Then let me ask Ma Gongzi, what is the duty of a soldier?"

Ma Bukong said very simply: "Resist foreign enemies, protect the country and protect the family." ”

"Since it is the duty of a soldier to defend against foreign enemies and protect the country and family, why should you want unarmed ordinary people to go into battle to kill the enemy?"

Lin Zhan, who had caught this flaw, immediately shouted.

Ma Bukong's expression was stunned, and he said without thinking about it: "It is the duty of a soldier to resist foreign enemies and protect the country and family. But now that the enemy is present, there is still so much to take care of. This is an extraordinary method used in times of crisis, do you want those people to sit back and die?"

Situ Mingyue on the side sighed again. She had already seen that he had been led by Lin Zhan by the nose since Ma Bukong said this.

In just a few words, Ma Bukong actually denied the important proposition of "military duty" in disguise, and unconsciously pushed himself to the opposite side of all Tianxing soldiers.

Defending the country is the highest honor of a soldier. Ma Bukong's justification just now seemed to be in a hurry, but it insulted this honor to a certain extent, and Lin Zhan could push Ma Bukong into a rather embarrassing situation with a little guidance.

Sure enough, Lin Zhan shook his head and said, "What is the purpose of the empire spending so many resources to build such a huge army? What is the purpose of the people of the empire paying so much military ration every year to feed so many troops? What is the real meaning of the existence of the imperial army? Ma Bukong, haven't you considered these things?"

As soon as the question was raised, Lin Zhan didn't give Ma Bukong a chance to argue at all, and then said: "The empire has spent so many resources, and the people have handed over so much military rations, feeding the empire's millions of troops, and its purpose is to hope that one day when foreign enemies invade, someone can stand up to protect them and not let them be harmed." And this is also the meaning of the existence of soldiers. ”

"It is the basic responsibility of soldiers to defend their homes and the country by raising soldiers for a thousand days, resisting foreign enemies, and defending their homes and countries, which is also their highest honor. Now that the enemy is approaching, you obviously have a better way to protect the people of Hot Springs, but you ask the ordinary people of the imperial army to pay a large amount of military rations every year to feed the imperial army and go with you to defend against the enemy. Where do you place the soldiers of the Celestial Star Empire, and how do you want the people to view the soldiers of the Empire?"

"The army that has worked so hard to feed itself will not be able to protect itself, but will have to face a murderous enemy on its own. So what is the use of the common people wanting such an army? Can an army that cannot protect the common people, an army that cannot be trusted by the common people, be called an army? Can a soldier who makes such a decision be called a qualified soldier?"

"Ma Bukong, you just said that my method is to lose the prestige of the country and the army. But I'm telling you, from the moment you had the idea of having ordinary people fight the enemy together, you were no longer worthy to be called a soldier. Because you made the people who were supposed to be standing behind the soldiers stand with the soldiers, and even stood in front of the soldiers. This is a great humiliation for a real military man. ”

Ma Bukong now felt dry and speechless, and he couldn't say a word after thinking of a bunch of rebuttals.

The Ma family behind Ma Bukong is one of the three giants of the imperial military, so Ma Bukong knows very well what a soldier cares about the most. Although Lin Zhan's words were somewhat exaggerated, they were completely viewed from the perspective of a soldier, emphasizing the responsibility and honor of a soldier every word. Once Ma Bukong refutes, no matter what he says, it is equivalent to admitting that the imperial army cannot protect the people of the empire at a critical moment, which undoubtedly pushes himself to the opposite side of the empire's nearly 10 million troops. Such consequences are not something he can bear.

Ma Bukong's heart was unwilling in every way, but in front of everyone, he would never dare to say anything that would provoke the honor of the soldiers, so he could only swallow this breath in the end.

"That's something I don't think about. ”

In the first round, Ma Bukong actually took the initiative to admit defeat, which surprised the people around him.

Ma Bukong is the eldest and youngest of the Ma family, and he is a generation of young talents, and he can be ranked among the sons of the major families in the imperial capital. Therefore, Ma Bukong has been famous in the imperial capital for a long time, and most of the students around him know Ma Bukong.

On the other hand, Lin Zhan, although the rumors about him in the imperial capital have long been boiling, but Lin Zhan has lived in seclusion for more than ten years and has hardly appeared in public, although the people around him have heard of Lin Zhan's name, almost no one knows Lin Zhan.

Now everyone is not surprised to see that Ma Bukong, who has long been famous, was actually forced to lose the upper hand by a nobody.

Even the third princess and Situ Mingyue didn't expect Ma Bukong to admit defeat so quickly.

The people gathered around were talking, and in the process of discussion, Lin Zhan's identity was slowly revealed and spread quickly. The movement here also quickly attracted the attention of a large number of people.

After a while, a lot of people had gathered around them, surrounding Lin Zhan and the others.

"One more point. ”

After winning the first battle, Lin Zhan, who attracted the attention of many people, did not intend to die down, but prepared to take advantage of the victory to attack.

"You advocate a head-on battle with the enemy, and if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, and you vow to live and die with Hot Springs. ”
