Chapter 948: Recruiting the Puppet Army
Chapter 948: Recruiting the Puppet Army
"The decisive battle with the enemy army is about to begin, and the generals should think a lot about what kind of formation the enemy will use in the decisive battle. Our army doesn't have much experience in using and dealing with battle formations, but we will need a strategy to break the formation," When the generals below slowly reacted, Lin Xuanzhong directly guided their attention to future battles, rather than staying on the affairs of the puppet army.
"The rest of the things will be discussed after the marshal comes," After the general below agreed in surprise again, Lin Xuanzhong directly transferred the rest to Bai Shuilian. Perhaps they couldn't speculate on Rao's tactics, but now Lin Xuanzhong was confident that he would defeat Rao's army.
"Yes," this time, the general's answer below had the momentum that Lin Xuanzhong wanted, and his voice was neat and powerful. According to Lin Xuanzhong's idea, only by letting those generals also focus on the overall situation can they correctly guide the soldiers below.
This morning's council is important, but it's simple. It's just that the general below briefly reported the information, and then Lin Xuanzhong arranged some tasks for them, and almost no one raised objections during the whole process, but that's it, the problem that plagued many people finally came to an end.
"General Dong, have you all had breakfast?" After the other generals left, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly remembered something that he had been trying to ask clearly, whether those generals had breakfast when they came so early every day. I remember going to eat by myself just now, and it seems that the canteen has just opened.
"Let the general smile, I'll come over early in the morning, I haven't eaten yet," I don't know why Lin Xuanzhong suddenly cared about whether they had eaten or not, and after hesitating, Dong Shaozhen was slightly embarrassed to answer on behalf of the others.
"Then you go to dinner first, I will wait for you here for a while, don't worry," After solving a problem that had been bothering him for a long time, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and an elusive smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Yes," Lin Xuanzhong's appearance became more and more strange in the eyes of Dong Shaozhen and the others, but even though they had doubts, they didn't know how to ask to understand.
As soon as the few people left, the big tent was clean. Before Dong Shaozhen and the others came back, Lin Xuanzhong had to think of what the puppet military camp should do. In the past, when he was in the Gu country, even the 180,000 Gu army soldiers dared to block it head-on, but now it is nothing to deal with the 20,000 puppet army.
When they got there, they had to do the same thing as they had done when they incorporated the Gu Army before, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to let those puppet soldiers understand that as long as they sincerely returned to the Blue Country, then they would be no different from the Blue Army, because they would be the Blue Army in the future.
Thinking about it was the time for a stick of incense, the generals who left with doubts were really not in a hurry, and the time to eat breakfast was longer than Lin Xuanzhong imagined.
"General, here we are," the light flashed at the door, and seven or eight people walked into the tent in two rows. Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong was still sitting in front of the military case, Dong Shaozhen, who was the leader, immediately made a report.
"Well," some things are difficult to change once a decision is made, and after thinking about it many times, Lin Xuanzhong didn't find anything that needed to be improved in last night's decision, and got up directly and left the big tent after agreeing. The people outside had already prepared their horses, and the group rode directly to the puppet army camp in the south after riding their horses.
"Drive," the wide passage was dusty, choking the nearby soldiers, and when they saw that the person in front was Lin Xuanzhong, those people didn't even dare to complain.
About a quarter of an hour later, the nine men stopped at a location on the south side of the camp. As far as the eye can see, the cordon between the puppet army and the blue army has not been removed, but the personnel in charge of the guard have been greatly reduced.
At first, Dong Shaozhen thought that the puppet army could bring real danger to the blue army at any time, but after understanding the specific situation of the puppet army, Dong Shaozhen's mind changed, and there was no need to be too wary of the puppet army. In addition, in order to increase some labor, Dong Shaozhen deliberately transferred 10,000 personnel who were originally in charge of vigilance.
When Lin Xuanzhong asked about the reduction of personnel, Dong Shaozhen gave a simple explanation. After understanding the reason for the reduction in personnel, Lin Xuanzhong asked Dong Shaozhen to transfer all the remaining personnel. Now that it has been decided to incorporate the puppet army, Lin Xuanzhong feels that they don't need to set up a guard anymore.
Escorted by a group of generals, after dismounting, Lin Xuanzhong walked to the puppet army's Chinese army tent on foot. Along the way, all the puppet soldiers who saw Lin Xuanzhong knelt down and saluted one after another, and the mental state of those who were in charge of standing guard in the puppet barracks was not bad, but those scattered soldiers looked very unbearable, and the mental state of those people could not even compare with the wounded soldiers in the army.
At the morning meeting, Dong Shaozhen's situation about the puppet army was confirmed, and if it dragged on for a while, the puppet army might really be dragged down, because their situation was very embarrassing. A feeling of compassion arose, and Lin Xuanzhong really sympathized with those puppet soldiers.
Obviously, they risked their lives to defect to the Blues, but after they came, they were not only resisted by the Blues, but also had to worry about the safety of their loved ones all the time. Those anxious eyes contained too much emotion, according to Lin Xuanzhong's guess, there must be people who regretted coming to the Blue Army, and it might be better for those people to stay with Rao Jun.
The difficult situation of the puppet army is quite touching, and after walking for a while, Lin Xuanzhong realized that they lacked understanding of the puppet army after all. If you can, it's best to get acquainted with the puppet army again.
"See the general," Before Lin Xuanzhong could walk to the central area, the high-level puppet army leaders who had gathered together had already heard the news and rushed to greet him.
"Go in and talk," glancing at the twenty or so high-level martial cultivators, it seemed that they were no different from the other puppet soldiers, and their faces were more or less apprehensive, but they were just a little more angry.
Walking past those people, Lin Xuanzhong felt a lot of disordered aura, and it seemed that many people's moods were not very stable, I don't know if they already knew that Rao Jun was going to exchange them for hostages.
"The general came from afar, I have missed the welcome, and I ask the general to forgive me," After entering the military tent, a high-level martial artist directly bowed down to Lin Xuanzhong to apologize.
"Forgive what's the crime? He's coming to kill us, do we have to thank him?" the next moment, a younger man interjected angrily.
"General Li, Hugh is rude, why don't you make amends to the general?" I didn't expect my companion to make such an offensive move, and before Lin Xuanzhong could speak, another person hurriedly persuaded him.
"Am I wrong? Didn't he come today to send us to death?" The man known as General Li had a somewhat irritable temperament, and there was no respect on his face, only anger towards Lin Xuanzhong.
The words of several people made Lin Xuanzhong understand that those people already knew about the transaction, and he didn't know who revealed the news, and he didn't know what was going on, because of the two words of the man surnamed Li, Lin Xuanzhong's mood took a sharp turn, and a strange anger grew in his heart.
"Presumptuous," as the chief general of the three armies, Lin Xuanzhong's majesty is naturally inviolable. When the atmosphere in the big tent was obviously tense, Dong Shaozhen stood up directly. The aura that was close to the eighth-order martial cultivation burst out, and the person who originally had some abnormal thoughts about Lin Xuanzhong suddenly became cautious.
"Ben is here today, and I do want to invite some of you to come with Ben. However, Ben Jiang will not force anyone to go, and those who are unwilling to go with Ben Jiang to trade with Rao Jun can stay, "Calm down, Lin Xuanzhong doesn't want some people who misunderstand him to talk about it, otherwise his mood will be restless."
"Ben will only need half of the number, you can think about it, before you make a decision, Ben will have one more thing to do," raised his eyebrows, looked at the twenty or so people below again, and then Lin Xuanzhong continued: "Ben is going to incorporate the puppet army today, and the puppet army will become a recruit of the blue army." If you have no objection to this, gather all the puppet troops as soon as possible. After letting out a sigh of relief, Lin Xuanzhong waited for those personnel to respond.
"Please wait a minute, general, I'll do it later," Lin Xuanzhong's words arrived, and the people who listened to them were foggy at first, but when Lin Xuanzhong said that he wanted to incorporate the puppet army, his eyes lit up one by one. For those people, Lin Xuanzhong's move was tantamount to formally accepting them. Although they didn't understand why Lin Xuanzhong wanted half of the people to accompany him to participate in the transaction, they were happy to do the things in front of them.
"General, those people don't seem to be very satisfied with us?" After the two dozen or so people left, Dong Shaozhen told the story just now. Although I don't know what Lin Xuanzhong's plans are about the hostage exchange, the performance of those people just now made Dong Shaozhen very dissatisfied, so Dong Shaozhen wanted to know Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts.
"That's true," General Li's fierce reaction just now, Lin Xuanzhong saw it all. If it was a true outpouring of feelings, then the possibility that the puppet army came with intentions was greatly reduced, considering this, Lin Xuanzhong's mood was a little complicated, and this did not seem to be what Lin Xuanzhong was looking forward to.
"I don't know how the general plans to trade with Rao Jun?" Lin Xuanzhong's serious appearance made Dong Shaozhen even more puzzled, and out of curiosity, Dong Shaozhen still asked the question he had been thinking about.
"Don't worry, when the time comes, you will naturally know," Regarding the transaction, Lin Xuanzhong did have a detailed plan, but the final result was unpredictable, so Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to tell others the content of the plan in advance.
"The last general understands," Lin Xuanzhong's somewhat deceitful answer made Dong Shaozhen and the other generals even more confused, and none of them could think of what Lin Xuanzhong was thinking. According to their considerations, after Lin Xuanzhong decided to incorporate the puppet army, there was only one option left for the deal with Rao Jun, and they had to give up the deal. But now Lin Xuanzhong still has to bring people to participate in the transaction, which is really incomprehensible.
