Chapter 862: Mental Torture
Chapter 862: Mental Torture
If Lin Xuanzhong's plan succeeds, the hatred between Yangguo and Yeguo will be directly resolved, and Lin Xuanzhong will not only be able to resolve their crisis, but also have a good relationship with Yangguo, which is best described as the best of both worlds.
"Then why does Lord Zhang always look worried and depressed?"
"Do you think that everyone is as broad-minded as a general, and can be so honest with anyone?"
"Is Lord Zhang saying that he is not as good as the general?"
"Xue Yin, you open your mouth and keep your mouth shut and don't leave the general, I think you should go directly to the general to say something, it will make me even more bored," Zhang Jiutian stood up impatiently, wanting to leave here. Now the word Lin Xuanzhong can be heard everywhere in the army, and Zhang Jiutian wants to avoid this situation, but now it seems that he has obviously come to the wrong place.
"Don't mention the general, I don't know what Lord Zhang is here for?" Seeing Zhang Jiutian's unhappy face, Xue Yin understood Zhang Jiutian's complicated mood at the moment, and immediately smiled and diverted the topic.
"I'm here to ......" When the words came to his mouth, Zhang Jiutian suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't continue, originally he came here to ask Xue Yin to help them calculate a hexagram, but after thinking about it, Zhang Jiutian felt that it was very embarrassing to do so. It is not wise to rely on divination to decide the fate of the army.
"Lord Zhang has always been cheerful, why are you hesitant today?" In the past, Zhang Jiutian spoke very directly, and he had no habit of euphemistic expression, but Zhang Jiutian's performance just now was too abnormal.
"I want you to help us calculate a hexagram and see if the general's plan doesn't succeed, if we have any other way," As a result, because of Xue Yin's inquiry, Zhang Jiutian, who was in a complicated mood, couldn't hold back any longer.
"It turns out that Lord Zhang is desperate and came to me for help, but unfortunately Xue Yin really can't help," Zhang Jiutian's intention made Xue Yin feel funny, the life and death of more than 80,000 people can not be speculated based on a hexagram alone, and although the sacrifice has the ability to divination, it is not possible to calculate the hexagram at will.
"What do you mean?"
"The answer that the adults want, Xue Yin can't figure it out, so the adults should find another way," shaking her head, Xue Yin thought with a smile on her face that if she could help the army figure out the way out, it would have been solved a long time ago, so why wait until now.
"Okay then," nodded, Zhang Jiutian, who hadn't reported much hope in the first place, couldn't deny Xue Yin's answer, and at the same time thought that coming here was a wrong decision.
"Lord Xueyin, do you believe that the general can succeed?" After Zhang Jiutian left the camp with a helpless face, Ruan Ming, who had been standing next to him, suddenly asked Xue Yin a question.
"The general's plan must succeed," the smile on Xue Yin's face slowly faded, and her eyes became serious, and the depth of the expectation was beyond words.
"En," nodded, Ruan Ming's face also showed a determined look, and now Lin Xuanzhong is everyone's hope.
And in the past few days, Fang Quyin's side, originally as the commander of the troops this time, Fang Quyin could decide the movement of the army. But after the momentum was suppressed by Lin Xuanzhong, Fang Quyin felt insulted, so in the past two days, Fang Quyin has been sitting in the big tent and not asking about the military.
However, no matter how dissatisfied Fang Quyin was with Lin Xuanzhong, there was one thing that Fang Quyin could not deny, although Lin Xuanzhong snatched his position as commander, Lin Xuanzhong also snatched all the pressure that originally belonged to him. To this day, Fang Quyin, who had calmed down, had actually figured out that it was the right decision for Lin Xuanzhong to stop them from attacking the city before, and with the current situation, they had no hope of winning at all. Instead of sending him to death in the past, it is better to use Lin Xuanzhong's method to fight a possibility, so without the persuasion of the generals below, Fang Quyin's dissatisfaction with Lin Xuanzhong earlier has slowly dissipated.
In addition, Fang Quyin also thought that Lin Xuanzhong's original intention to stop the army from attacking the city was not to snatch his position as commander, but just to protect the army. If Lin Xuanzhong's plan succeeds, the predicament faced by the army can be resolved, and there is no need to start a war with Yangguo next. Because after offending the Qingyuan powers, the Yang Kingdom would not go to war with them again, so Lin Xuanzhong's strategy also has a meaning of looking to the future.
Because of this alone, it can be seen that Lin Xuanzhong's ability in military affairs is indeed outstanding, which not only shows that Lin Xuanzhong has rich combat experience, but also reflects Lin Xuanzhong's extraordinary talent in this area. After unintentionally learning about Lin Xuanzhong's background, Fang Quyin admired Lin Xuanzhong even more, because Lin Xuanzhong did a lot of things that ordinary people dare not do, this is a kind of courage, looking at the entire military camp, I am afraid that I will not find a person who can compare with Lin Xuanzhong.
After recognizing Lin Xuanzhong's personal ability, Fang Quyin hoped that Lin Xuanzhong's plan would succeed, because only then could Lin Xuanzhong truly become famous. In any case, after reaching an agreement with Lin Xuanzhong on the overall situation, Fang Quyin continued to stay in the camp not because he was still dissatisfied with Lin Xuanzhong, but because he had another kind of support for Lin Xuanzhong.
Once this crisis is successfully resolved, Lin Xuanzhong's reputation will catch up with Zhao Xu, so it really hasn't wasted so many people's trust in Lin Xuanzhong, and Fang Quyin will be very pleased that the Night Country will once again have a capable general. Lin Xuanzhong's behavior seemed to bring endless hope to the Night Kingdom, which had embarked on the road of rebelling against the great powers, giving Fang Quyin a feeling of seeing the future, which even Zhao Xu could not compare, and the current Lin Xuanzhong was a ray of light in the darkness.
After recognizing Lin Xuanzhong more and more, Fang Quyin had always been very clear about what time meant to them, and it was not difficult to think that if the operation on the Meteor City side failed, this ray of dawn might fall into darkness forever.
Time passed little by little, and after the lockdown and the sword city were perfunctory night army, both sides were more convinced that the night army did not have much food and grass, and the time they were waiting for was coming. After two days of consideration, both Sword City and the Lockdown have thought of a plan that can be fought by the night army.
Because the five-day period given to them by Emperor Yang was coming to an end, and they did not know the specific situation of the night army, they planned to go with grain and grass, so that they could not only approach the night army camp logically, but also find out the situation of the night army more accurately, so as to act at the opportunity. Officially approaching the Night Army on the grounds of completing the deal is a strategy that both sides have finally come up with, and what the specific situation of the Night Army is, relying on this strategy, no matter what the situation is, Sword City and the Lockdown City can ensure that they are safe.
On the other side, here in the barracks, there is no way to infer what the other party has planned, as long as the situation in the barracks in the last two days can be guaranteed, in a sense, Lin Xuanzhong's goal has been achieved.
Immersed in other people's regrets all day long, Lin Xuanzhong has fully understood the various effects of war on the world, and how precious peace is. Even if all the countries in the Northern Regions have been living under the deterrence of other great regions all along, that kind of peace is still better than the current war, and Lin Xuanzhong hates war from the bottom of his heart. It's a pity that the general trend of the world is not decided by Lin Xuanzhong alone, even if he adds 80,000 soldiers, it is still far from enough.
By the evening, Lin Xuanzhong seemed to have gotten used to the feeling of being hungry, and although he could only eat half full, it was much better than eating nothing. I remember that I used to save the lives of three people by holding a piece of snake meat without regret and disgusting, speaking of which, the hunger at that time could really kill people, and now it may be because of the improvement of cultivation, without doing anything, it is not too uncomfortable to be hungry.
In fact, in the past two days, Lin Xuanzhong had also thought about whether to reduce the soldiers' rations again, so that they could hold on a little longer, but after hearing so many desperate regrets, even if he knew that the people below could accept more demanding requirements, Lin Xuanzhong could not give such an order, because Lin Xuanzhong wanted them to live better in the last time.
A person in the camp kept thinking about many things that had happened recently, everything was so pale and powerless, whether it was the things that could make Lin Xuanzhong happy in the past, or those inspiring things, now in retrospect, it seemed that they had lost their color, as if life had completely lost its meaning.
The bold words he said when he swore in public, and the wisdom and martial arts when he traded with Shi Jiangchuan and others, seemed to be jokes, but what made them a joke, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't think about it, let alone blame it. After feeling that many things had lost their meaning, Lin Xuanzhong slowly developed a feeling that those who had hurt him before seemed to be forgiven.
Thinking of his upbringing in the Lin family, Lin Xuanzhong didn't have any hatred for those clansmen, but just kept lamenting that he was powerless to change some facts. Now that the real test has come, but he can only rely on fate, and he has gambled so many people's lives for this, Lin Xuanzhong not only does not hate those who have hurt him, but even feels sorry for many people, under this kind of guilty psychology, the various regrets of the soldiers brought the heaviest pressure to Lin Xuanzhong.
Sitting in front of the military case, he should have thought about some things after he got out, but Lin Xuanzhong was really in no mood. After being attacked by all kinds of pressure, Lin Xuanzhong, who could have lived very well, was really affected by others, and his mood became heavier and heavier, and he was out of control. The current mood is enough to compare with the night of gray hair, and unconsciously, Lin Xuanzhong's heart is full of fear.
Unlike that night, no one could even share Lin Xuanzhong's worries before, but now there are so many people who can't go to them, and under this kind of mental torture, Lin Xuanzhong has no idea of resting at all. And when Lin Xuanzhong kept thinking about these things that could deepen his fear and destroy his will. In Meteorite City, with last night's plan and today's efforts, Shi Jiangchuan and the others have joined forces with some families and are about to launch a rescue operation.
