Volume 1: Establishing a foothold in Longfu, recruiting talents, and setting up a special forces unit. Chapter 4: Annexing Liu Hu Zi

  "Commissar, Commissar Long Yun has launched an attack, Commissar."

  Liu Hu Zi's deputy officer rushed into Liu Hu Zi's courtyard, and when he ran in front of Liu Hu Zi, he plopped down on the ground with a thud, his mind going completely blank.

  At that moment when he rushed into Liu's bedroom, he saw Captain Liu and his wife beheaded. At this moment, everything became clear to him - the captain had been assassinated by Long Yun.

  "It's all over, everything is over."

  Deep down, Liu Hu Zi's deputy couldn't accept such a result, but everything had already happened.

  "Squad leader, I've told you long ago to beware of Long Yun and the other legions joining forces to destroy him, but you just wouldn't listen, always being arrogant and self-conceited."

  The deputy officer sat on the ground with his fists clenched, feeling very resentful. If Liu Hu Zi had listened to advice at that time, there would not have been such a result. Now what's done is done, he ultimately lost his life due to his own arrogance and lost everything.

  "I must take revenge on you, take revenge."

  Rage filled his mind, his eyes gazed at death as if it were home, and those who didn't know him would never understand why a deputy officer was so deeply attached to someone already dead.

  In an instant, Liu Hu Zi's deputy stood up and gave a military salute to Liu Hu Zi, then drew his pistol and rushed out.

  "Long Yun, I'm going to fight you to the end to avenge our squad leader."

  A deafening roar shook the sky.

  No one knew that he was an orphan, and at the age of eight, he was still begging on the streets. By chance, he met Liu Hu Zi, who took him in as a foster son, and only then did he have his present life.

  "It's no use, from today on, this town is under the control of our Dragon Commander. More than 2,000 of Liu Hu Zi's soldiers have surrendered in batches, and the rest are all dead. What's the point of you resisting alone? I advise you not to resist stubbornly."

  A battalion commander under Long Yun led soldiers to block the deputy officer's way at Liu Huizi's gate, with dozens of guns pointing at the deputy officer.

  Liu Hu Zi's deputy saw the scene and didn't say anything. He hadn't expected to lose so quickly, but he had anticipated that this day would come sooner or later. Liu Hu Zi's kindness towards him allowed him to survive in the world, yet he knew he had done his best.

  He had been preparing for this day, raised the pistol in his hand to his own head, bang! Fell straight to the ground, eyes wide open, with a hint of resentment and hatred.

  The battalion commander walked up to the deputy officer, squatted down and stroked the deputy's eyes with his hand.

  "We're both soldiers, no choice in the matter, brother! You're a good soldier, but unfortunately you followed the wrong person. Why must you die with your eyes open?"

  He got up and walked into Liu Hu Zi's mansion with heavy footsteps and a sigh.

  As he walked into the mansion, the camp commander suddenly let out a loud shout.

  "Sweep away, retreat!"

  After a loud roar, the eyes of this camp commander gazed up at the sky, with sharp and piercing glints in his eyes.

  "I am a soldier, I have no choice. This world is a place where people devour each other. If I don't eat you, you will eat me."

  After swallowing Liu Hu's army, Long Yun's strength increased greatly, equipment, weapons, and troops became one of the most powerful warlords in the region.

  Just like the case of Long Yun, the warlord's annexation is being staged every day.

  Longyun's mansion backyard, also a night, the starry sky accompanied by the bright moon casting long shadows of two people.

  "Long Jiguang continues to annex warlords, assassinate leaders. What we need is a legion, a large-scale army, an army that governs tens of thousands of people, even millions. Now the world is not at peace, China is not at peace, no, the whole world is not at peace."

  Long Yun's sharp eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he stared at his younger brother Long Lin.

  "Hmm, indeed worthy of being a general who can command an army, with a vision that sees far ahead. Father said it before, your talent lies in the military, while I'm just an assassin, so your madness is beyond my comparison."

  Long Lin finished speaking and left a back view for Long Yun, with dark killing intent in his eyes, but to everyone's feeling, Long Lin was just an ordinary man.

  Watching Long Lin's receding back, Long Yun gazed up at the sky: "Yes, Father is indeed the greatest and most talented. He told me that China will not be peaceful in the next hundred years."

  At this moment, Long Yun's thoughts drifted far away.

  "Yun, you are the legitimate son of the family and also have extraordinary talent in military affairs. Lin has already started his career as an assassin. For ten years, you brothers will not see each other."

  Long Yun's father sat in the study, holding a military book with "Thirty-six Stratagems" written on it.

  Long Yun was right below him, holding "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

  "Why must we take this road, Father?"

  Long Yun was somewhat perplexed; at this time he was only thirteen years old.

  "Yun'er, remember, China, our country is in chaos. If you can't be a hero, then become a powerful villain. Remember! You can't be a hero, the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and there will be no peace within a hundred years."

  Longyun's eyes came back to life and he walked towards his own mansion's main courtyard.

  And now Long Zhongtian is only three months old. After three months of cognition, Long Zhongtian has basically figured out where he came to.

  1917

  That is China's inland, warlord-ridden Shu territory, which has been in a state of war for a long time.

  Long Zhongtian was placed in the quilt, his eyes wide open, his ears perked up listening to any movement around him, this was a habit he had developed in the special forces, always staying vigilant.

  Just as Long Zhongtian was listening intently, he heard footsteps.

  "Twenty meters, ten meters, five meters, Dragon Cloud."

  Indeed, it's not wrong.

  Long Yun walked up to Long Zhongtian's side, his hands supporting him as a smile spread across his face.

  "Tian'er, you are the son of Long Yun, the direct descendant of the Long family. I don't know if it's your good fortune or bad luck, but from today on, you will no longer be ordinary, and you won't have an ordinary life. Your father will soon become the commander-in-chief of a million-strong army. This is not a joke."

  Long Zhongtian perked up his ears. At this moment, he was very spirited because for the past three months, what he liked most was when Long Yun came to hug him.

  Although it wasn't a long time that Long Yun held him up, he was able to hear the information he wanted to know about this era, this place, and the things he wanted to know.

  "Today I've taken down Liu Hu Zi, this warlord. It can be said that my military strength is now almost equal to a division. In other words, if I take down another warlord, I'll become a division commander. At that time, leading tens of thousands of soldiers to conquer this land and becoming the master of this land, what do you think?"

  Long Yun's blood was accelerating throughout his body, and he was extremely excited at this moment. After all, the military had developed and expanded, making him even more powerful.

  Holding Long Zhongtian's dragon cloud in his arms, he had a strange feeling that was very wonderful. Recently, he always liked to tell some things to this son.

  "Although Long Zhongtian is not his own biological son, he always feels that this little guy is the descendant of the Long family and has an inexplicable connection with himself."

  "Kid, there's something I want to tell you, but also don't want to tell you. It was only after my own son died that I annexed Liu Hu Zi's army, but you don't know that Liu Hu Zi is your mother's cousin. However, he wasn't a real soldier and refused to merge with my army earlier. Alas... such a big piece of meat, do you think I wouldn't eat it and let someone else have it?"

  It seems that for Liu Hu's annexation, Long Yun also had no choice but to accept it.

  "There's actually another thing, this child who died might not be mine, your mother might have been taken by him, haha, heaven has eyes and it's a dead baby, but heaven brought you to my side."

  Long Yun held Long Zhongtian for a while, then put him down and left, but let Long Zhongtian fall into deep thought.

  Long Yun stood in the courtyard, gazing up at the sky: "Should I be resentful or joyful? I can't muster up joy, nor can I summon resentment." He muttered to himself, his tone filled with deep helplessness and sighs.

  Longyun's monologue was overheard by Long Zhongtian, who immediately gained some understanding: "What is this family all about? A deeply loved wife, a dead baby, the wife's cousin, the dead baby isn't even his own biological son, yet he killed the cousin and treated him as his own, but he isn't really his own."

  It wasn't until now that he realized Dragon Cloud was far more formidable than he had imagined. He discovered that Dragon Cloud's act of taking him in was a ploy, perhaps the beginning of another scheme.

  For some of Long Yun's words, Long Zhongtian savored them and found that some were not true. In his recollection, when Long Yun mentioned his deceased son, his eyes had an inexplicable glow.

  Three years later.

  Long Zhongtian tied his horse in the courtyard and held a Han Yang rifle in his hand, with sweat dripping from his face.

  "Damn it, looks like a three-year-old body can't take any more training, it's really damn slow. 1920, still seventeen years to go, must be prepared at all times, Little Japan, I'm coming for you."

  At this time, there was no one in the courtyard, but these words came out of the three-year-old Long Zhentian's mouth with a low growl.

  When Long Zhongtian confirmed that he was in the Republic of China, the memories that existed in his mind at this time, the motherland was suffering greatly, and he knew even more that when he grew up, he would face the greatest enemy of the motherland, Japan.

  At the age of three, Long Zhongtian possessed a mature soul that allowed him to understand what he should do in his environment. Fortunately for Long Zhongtian, his father was a warlord and a good one at that.

  "Son, I'm back!"

  Long Yun, dressed in his general's uniform, walked quickly into the courtyard. At this time, he already had a division under his command. He was fighting every day, swallowing up one warlord after another, while other capable warlords were also growing rapidly.

  For three years, Long Yun has been very fond of Long Zhongtian, and every time he thinks about it, he feels a sense of emotion.

  "Not a descendant of the Dragon Family, but has the breed of the Dragon Family. Inheriting all my advantages, at one year old, he can walk and run three kilometers in two years, with standard military training pace. At three years old, this year, Han Yang disassembled and assembled with his eyes closed very quickly. All performances are telling me that this child is not simple."

  Seeing Long Yun return, Long Zhong Tian stopped his training and walked in front of Long Yun, his expression suddenly becoming very serious.

  "Father, don't look at me with that terrifying smile. If you give me some time, if you give me strong bones, I will be the one to defeat you, and it's already been decided that I've reached the level of a military commander."

  Long Zhongtian scolded Long Yun in a stern tone, as if he were an instructor.

  Long Yun looked at the serious expression on three-year-old Long Zhongtian's immature face, and somehow felt a bit amused, suppressing his smile to look at Long Zhongtian with equal seriousness.

  After staring at each other for a long time, Long Yun finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. "You don't understand anything, you little three-year-old thing, not afraid of blowing the cow to death."
