Chapter 649: Competent for a While

Now there are more than a dozen large and small cities north of Fancheng, and some grain and grass can be collected, but for the time being, Zhao Xu has not decided whether to send troops for the collection of grain. In addition, it is not a long-term solution to risk scattering troops to collect grain and grass everywhere, if you can defeat the coalition army as soon as possible, so as to completely occupy the wing country, then the food and grass problem can be fundamentally solved, so the most important thing is a duel with the coalition army.

On Lin Xuanzhong's way back to the barracks, Zhao Xu summoned several generals and some high-ranking generals in the army to discuss military affairs. Before the discussion began, Zhao Xu deliberately counted the number of people, there were originally fifteen people who were going to arrive, but only fourteen people had arrived. Under questioning, Zhao Xu knew that it was Lin Xuanzhong who didn't arrive.

Because of the last commendation, Lin Xuanzhong's official rank had just reached the qualification to participate in important deliberations, but he was absent for the first time, and Zhao Xu couldn't help but be a little unhappy.

"General Li, where is General Lin?" Because Li Jianran was Lin Xuanzhong's direct superior, after learning about Lin Xuanzhong's future, Zhao Xu naturally looked at Li Jianran.

Earlier, after Li Jianran learned that Zhao Xu was going to convene the generals to discuss today, he had specially sent someone to inform Lin Xuanzhong, but unfortunately the answer he got was that Lin Xuanzhong was still not in the army. Now that Zhao Xu asked why Lin Xuanzhong didn't come, Li Jianran had a headache. If he had known that Lin Xuanzhong would go out for a few days in a row, Li Jianran would not have agreed to Lin Xuanzhong's request before.

"My subordinates don't know," he pondered for a long time before Li Jianran replied to Zhao Xu.

"Why don't you know?"

"Two days ago, General Lin specially approached his subordinates and said that he wanted to take a few days off, and his subordinates thought that there was no war for the time being, so they allowed him to rest for a few days. It's just that since General Lin went out two days ago, he has not returned to the camp until today. ”

"The enemy is in front, and the commander has clearly ordered that no one is allowed to enter and leave the barracks without permission. Even with your permission, you are also in breach of duty. When they return, they will be punished according to military law. Recalling the scene during the military training that day, Zhao Xu was very dissatisfied with Lin Xuanzhong's recent departure from the barracks.

"The subordinates are guilty," Li Jianran nodded, already thinking about how to punish Lin Xuanzhong.

"Marshal, can you allow your subordinates to say a word?" At this moment, Yan Nantian suddenly stood up.

"But it's okay to say?" I don't know what Yan Nantian wanted to say when he stood up at this moment, Zhao Xu nodded with a straight expression.

"General Lin is young and promising, far beyond his peers, but because he is still young, he is not as calm as me, and he has experienced all kinds of things recently, maybe General Lin feels too much pressure and wants to go out for a walk, so I hope that the marshal will not be responsible," Under the attention of the generals, Yan Nantian spontaneously said a good word for Lin Xuanzhong.

"In this case, General Li doesn't have to punish General Lin anymore, but he won't make an example," On the other hand, after listening to Yan Nantian's statement, Zhao Xu finally accepted Yan Nantian's suggestion and did not hold Lin Xuanzhong responsible for leaving the camp this time.

"See Marshal," Zhao Xu just finished speaking, hurried back to the barracks, and after getting Zhang Jiutian to remind Lin Xuanzhong, who was discussing above, he changed his clothes as soon as possible, and then ran to the big tent of the Chinese army in a panic.

"General Lin, come in," it was Lin Xuanzhong, Zhao Xu greeted him indifferently, and let Lin Xuanzhong, who was standing at the door, come in.

At the same time, most of the generals in the camp looked at Lin Xuanzhong meaningfully, and after noticing Lin Xuanzhong's slightly reddened eyes, they cast a kind of understanding look at Lin Xuanzhong one after another, obviously in their opinion, Lin Xuanzhong should have been happy in Willow Lane, Flower Street, in the past two days.

The next time, when Lin Xuanzhong looked at the generals in the camp tent, the strange eyes of many generals were all in Lin Xuanzhong's eyes, but Lin Xuanzhong thought that it was because he came too late.

"General Lin, the enemy is at present, but you have left the camp privately. Although General Li allowed it, he still violated military rules, and the commander didn't want to have a next time," After Lin Xuanzhong stood in a vacant seat deliberately left by other generals, Zhao Xu's majestic gaze fell on Lin Xuanzhong again.

"The last general understood," on the way here, he had already thought that he might get the above punishment, even if he wasn't worried about what kind of punishment he would receive, Lin Xuanzhong still planned to face it normally.

Next, Zhao Xu officially told the information related to the coalition in front of the generals, and then asked the generals to express their opinions in the main battle.

The reason why the opinions of the generals were solicited was mainly because Zhao Xu wanted to know some of the thoughts of his subordinates on the war, and of course the final decision-making power was still in the hands of Zhao Xu alone.

Under Zhao Xu's question, more than a dozen generals expounded their views one after another, and finally ended with the result of defending the city, and a discussion lasted for half an hour.

During the time when the generals had expressed their views one by one, Lin Xuanzhong had already learned all about the confrontation between the two armies. The current situation is not much different from before, and the existence of Fancheng has caused great obstacles to the coalition forces. It's just that Lin Xuanzhong's surprise is that the existence of Fancheng also causes a lot of inconvenience to the night army to take the initiative to attack, if you want to take the initiative to attack the coalition army, at first the night army might as well be stationed directly outside the city, so that there is still a chance to launch a surprise attack, but now it seems to be limited to a head-to-head duel.

After leaving the big tent, Lin Xuanzhong returned to his residence with many ideas. When they walked into the courtyard, Princess Lan Xin and the sugar treasure siblings were waiting in the house.

I didn't expect the three of them to be in their own place, and when the three of them came out of the house, Lin Xuanzhong was surprised, but there was still a little more smile on his face. Those three familiar faces seemed to be impossible for Lin Xuanzhong to hate no matter what.

Two days after going out, facing Princess Lan Xin again, the awkward feeling before seemed to have disappeared.

"You're here!" Before the three of them could speak, Lin Xuanzhong had already greeted the three of them.

"Brother Lin, where have you been in the past two days?Why have you only come back now?" Greeting Lin Xuanzhong with a smile on his face, Sugar Treasure ran over with a smile.

"I went to the east to walk around the heavy mountain before, and I encountered some things on the way that delayed some time, so I came back so late," Seeing Tangbao tugging at his sleeve, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly remembered Xingyu, and immediately explained to Tangbao with a smile.

"What's the matter?"

"I'll tell you when you go in first," Seeing that Tangbao was very curious about the things he encountered, Lin Xuanzhong planned to talk about those things.

"Okay, let's go in," said with a smile, and Tang Bao directly took Lin Xuanzhong's sleeve and walked into the house.

On the other side, Princess Lan Xin and Sugar Yi smiled and waited for Lin Xuanzhong to come over, and then the four of them walked directly to the house.

The guards outside knew that Lin Xuanzhong was back, and they had already prepared fresh tea in the house, and now Lin Xuanzhong happened to entertain a few people with tea. After pouring a cup of tea for each of the three of them, Lin Xuanzhong slowly talked about his experience in the past two days.

From meeting the grandfather and grandson to coming back today, Lin Xuanzhong deliberately emphasized Xingyu's cultivation qualifications, and as for what happened in Chongshan Village, he just talked about it.

"Brother Lin, when I grow up, I will be as powerful as you and kill all those bad guys," After Lin Xuanzhong finished speaking, Tangbao's first reaction was to express his ambition.

"Then why don't you go to practice soon," Seeing that Tangbao looked serious and ambitious, Princess Lan Xin couldn't help but make fun of her.

"Brother Lin, why don't you teach me to practice the body method again, I have been practicing alone during this time, and I don't know if there has been any progress?"

"Okay," the discussion has just ended, and it is indeed idle at the moment, since Tangbao asked, Lin Xuanzhong has no reason not to agree.

"Then let's go to the courtyard first!" After Lin Xuanzhong's consent, Tangbao was very happy. Recently, he has been in the army, constantly under the influence of soldiers, and Sugar Bao is very motivated in cultivation. Although he is still young, his ambition to become a strong man is not small at all.

"Well," I didn't expect Sugar Bao to say that he would practice, and he didn't mean to waste time at all, but Lin Xuanzhong was very surprised that Sugar Bao's enthusiasm for cultivation would be so high.

Not long after, the four of them walked into the courtyard. Lin Xuanzhong, Princess Lan Xin and Sugar Coat stood together, and Sugar Bao had already practiced the Eight Desolation Steps below to show Lin Xuanzhong according to Lin Xuanzhong's instructions.

Seeing that Sugar Treasure was practicing well, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly felt a little funny. I didn't expect that I, who had always been incompetent, could finally be a master competently today.

Under Lin Xuanzhong's attention, the more Tang Bao practiced, the more serious he became, and in a blink of an eye, he had already displayed all the basic footwork of the Eight Desolation Steps. Since Sugar Treasure has not yet practiced the Three Steps and Eight Desolations, and he cannot take three steps in a row, the basic routine of the Eight Desolation Steps is the foundation of Sugar Bao's current cultivation.

The basic routines of the Eight Desolation Steps are divided into two aspects: offense and defense, and there are only nine ways to move in total, and the so-called "walk" is the direction of footwork, to put it simply, just like the various moves in ordinary martial arts. Whether it is offensive or defensive, each move has its own characteristics, and now Tangbao can get out of nine "moves", but there are still many deficiencies in the details.

To improve the deficiencies of Tangbao, Lin Xuanzhong has to do something very simple, just point out the problem first, and then demonstrate it to Tangbao in person. As for how much Tangbao can learn, it naturally depends on Tangbao's own comprehension ability.

With Lin Xuanzhong's five steps and eight desolations, there is naturally no problem with instructing an apprentice who is still in the basic stage like this, or in other words, what Lin Xuanzhong said is related to footwork is the truth for Sugar Bao.

After a period of time, after Lin Xuanzhong's careful guidance, Sugar Bao had fully understood his mistakes when practicing the Eight Desolation Steps, and then under Lin Xuanzhong's further guidance, Sugar Bao improved his own shortcomings again and again.

After an hour, Tangbao's progress has reached Lin Xuanzhong's expectations. Since the improvement of the body method is also affected by his own realm, Lin Xuanzhong does not expect Sugar Treasure to improve too fast in terms of body method, because the current realm of Sugar Treasure is too low. So, after instructing Sugar Treasure to practice his body technique, Lin Xuanzhong taught Sugar Treasure to practice the most basic martial arts.
