However, these are all things that Ma Tianle has said, and the two of them still remain skeptical.
Until the patrolling soldiers arrived.
These patrolling soldiers are now part of the city's garrison, all under the command of Lin Xiaoxi.
The responsibilities of the defending troops were also significant, so their treatment and supplies were naturally quite good.
These soldiers' armor and weapons were also configured according to the standard configuration for a city defense army.
"You guys come here."
The squad leader among them then led them to Liu Feng's side.
"General."
The young couple turned to look at the patrolling soldiers.
They were very well-disciplined, which surprised me.
Putting everything else aside, the armor you're wearing is something only the direct descendants of the Han family army can possess.
Moreover, it was leather armor worn only by soldiers who carried out the most arduous assault missions in battle.
“These people used to be the village’s guards, not the real Tiger Roar Army.”
Ma Tianle seemed to be showing off.
"The guard?"
At this moment, Lin Yuan and Han Lan felt as if their brains had completely shut down.
Logically speaking, this should only apply if a large army is on a campaign abroad.
The patrol troops in the city were the lowest-ranking soldiers, and they didn't have any training missions on a regular basis.
They patrol with those spears to maintain order.
How did they manage to assemble themselves to be the same as the elite Trapped Camp of the Han Family Army?
Not only were they all wearing the finest armor, but they also carried brand-new broadswords at their waists.
And this knife is strange too.
She had never seen such a large sword in Dali territory.
What are these? Ma Tianle told their squad leader to step forward.
The squad leader, bewildered as to what General Ma was up to, stepped forward.
"Hurry up and take out the dry rations you carry with you."
The squad leader laughed it off, thinking it was nothing serious.
Then he reached to his waist and pulled out a cloth bag.
The squad leader opened the cloth bag, which contained dried meat, flatbread, and even dried fruit.
"General Ma, are you hungry?"
“These things of mine can’t compare to those of the brothers in other battalions.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan and Han Lan gathered around to examine the scene closely.
He trembled all over at the sight of what was in the pocket.
Such a large amount of food, is this the patrol team's rations?
Such extravagance! They have grain, meat, and even dried fruit.
Ma Tianle chuckled, took out a piece of dried meat, and broke off some flatbread.
"Okay, I'll try it."
Lin Yuan and his wife looked on in disbelief.
"Does each of you have these?"
"yes."
The squad leader looked puzzled.
Each of their brothers had one, and theirs was the worst.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the others took out their pockets.
The contents were largely the same, but everyone had basic necessities like meat and grains, and the quantities were the same.
Moreover, when these patrol teams are not on duty, each squad is supplied with a jar of wine every day.
Upon seeing these things, the two men's minds went completely blank.
How is that possible? A private armed force or a patrol team receives this kind of treatment?
Is there no justice left in this world?
Despite the facts before her, Hanlan still refused to believe it.
"How much is your monthly military pay?"
"We're no good. We don't have any combat missions, and we only get one or two taels of silver a month."
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, I know. Judging from your appearance, you are from another army. You serve the imperial court, but you look like you've never seen the world before."
"I've served in the imperial army before; I was lucky if I didn't starve to death."
"Let me tell you, you should come and join our General as soon as possible. You can have anything you want here."
"If you don't believe what I'm saying, then go out and see for yourselves."
"Let's not talk about anything else. Just look at Wenhuang County. We used to be part of Wenhuang County. What are we like now, and what is Wenhuang County like now?"
"Our general has many abilities."
Now, Lin Yuan and his wife finally realized that Ma Tianle had been conservative in his assessment.
Lin Yuan looked somewhat embarrassed.
"General Liu, so that's why..."
"I apologize to General Liu for my rudeness."
"But right now, we really need the help of the Tiger Roar Army brothers."
"Please state your terms, General Liu."
Liu Feng chuckled.
"Conditions? Of course, my conditions are simple."
"You, Lin Yuan, and the entire army must obey my command."
It's a simple sentence, but it contains a wealth of information that is anything but simple.
This made Lin Yuan, who was usually amiable, frown and look like he was about to explode.
"General Liu, isn't this condition a bit too far-fetched?"
My intention was simply to have the Tiger Roar Army provide assistance.
But you, on the other hand, are thinking of vying for command of the army.
If I were to die and you were to command me, what power would I, as the General Who Conquers the North, still have?
If word gets out, how can a newly promoted general like myself not have any shame?
Besides, he was a general appointed by the emperor.
Relinquishing command is impossible; it's neither reasonable nor ethical.
Han Lan's expression changed instantly, but considering that Lin Yuan was still there and she had to consider her husband's feelings, she remained silent.
But his face looked extremely pale.
"Of course, my conditions may sound a bit harsh to you."
