Chapter 780: Divide the troops and march

"Is there a sentence in the last general that I don't know if to say?" Facing Qu Yin's gaze, Zhou Wenfeng, who was the most knowledgeable about the situation in Yangguo among several generals of the New Army, had a look of hesitation on his face, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

General Zhou said bluntly, "Seeing that the person who spoke was Zhou Wenfeng, Lin Xuanzhong, who had asked this person many times about Yangguo, directly expressed his permission.

"The people of Yangguo have always valued faithfulness, and for many years, almost all people who have done business with Yangguo have said that Yangguo people are extremely honest. According to the last general's opinion, since Emperor Yang has secretly written to ally with the Night Kingdom, there is absolutely no reason to break his word, so the last general feels that there is no need to worry that Emperor Yang will design to deal with our army," Zhou Wenfeng said an important matter, but the tone he used seemed too cautious, and he seemed to be very worried about losing his words in front of everyone.

"The general's words are a little unrealistic, if Yang Guo is really as trustworthy and courteous as the general said, then when our army set off, Emperor Yang should personally lead the courtiers to visit the Night Kingdom, why is there no news about this until now?" As soon as Zhou Wenfeng's words were finished, Zhang Jiutian unceremoniously questioned it.

"I don't know about this matter at the end," under Zhang Jiutian's questioning, based on the current facts, Zhou Wenfeng couldn't think of a reason to refute. In addition, because of Zhou Wenfeng's regression, Emperor Yang's indifferent behavior while letting the night army enter is even more suspicious.

"Could there be some situation that we don't know?" Out of trust in Zhou Wenfeng and resistance to Zhang Jiutian, when many generals felt that Zhou Wenfeng was talking falsely, Lin Xuanzhong said a good word for Zhou Wenfeng.

"Then General Lin thinks there might be some reason?" The next time, Fang Quyin looked at Lin Xuanzhong.

"The information is blocked, I don't know anything about the situation in Meteorite City, now we might as well send someone to Meteorite City to check the situation and determine if Emperor Yang is delaying his trip because of some things," It is unknown whether the secret agent sent by Zhao Xu to Yang Country sneaked into Meteorite City before, and now there is no news from there, Lin Xuanzhong can't speculate the reason at all.

"Well," Fang Quyin nodded, undeniable to Lin Xuanzhong's statement. Now that the discussion about whether to divide the army is over, the next thing they have to discuss is whether to continue the march or not, and how to ensure the safety of the march.

After some time, according to the various opinions put forward by the generals, Fang Quyin and Lin Xuanzhong decided to continue the march, and at the same time sent people to Meteorite City to check on the situation. The difference from before is that the 100,000 army will be divided into two parts, one led by Lin Xuanzhong, the other led by Fang Quyin, one in the front to explore the way, and the other in the rear.

According to the current situation in the army, Lin Xuanzhong is responsible for leading the new army, and Fang Quyin continues to lead the 60,000 elites of the night army.

After the problem of how to march was solved, the generals then discussed the problem of those Yang troops, and those Yang people staying in the new army was a hidden danger, and Fang Quyin and many generals paid enough attention to this issue.

"General Lin, among the new army, there are 8,000 Yangguo people, not many but not many. If our army starts a war with Yangguo, those people will stab them in the back, which will be extremely unfavorable to our army, I don't know how you plan to control those Yangguo people?" Since the new army is led by Lin Xuanzhong, then how to deal with those Yangguo people naturally has to be explained by Lin Xuanzhong first.

"Ben General has asked the following generals to pay attention to the emotions of those Yang Guoren, and if there is an abnormal situation, Ben will immediately inform General Fang. ”

"General Lin, I'm afraid it's not enough to just pay attention, I think I still need to take some necessary precautions. ”

"I don't know what General Fang's opinion is?"

"At the beginning, the 8,000 Yang troops were willing to join our army because the marshal acted benevolently and did not kill indiscriminately, but the marshal's benevolence and righteousness may not be comparable to the motherland that raised them. If they can't bear the shame of betraying the country, they are likely to turn against the night army, so General Lin needs to take some concrete measures to ensure that they do not defect and stabilize the morale of the new army, so that General Lin can lead them with confidence. ”

Fang Quyin only pointed out the direction to Lin Xuanzhong, and did not give substantive suggestions, if you really want to think about it, it can only be regarded as a reminder. In addition to making Lin Xuanzhong realize that the problem was more serious, he couldn't give Lin Xuanzhong any practical help, but despite this, Lin Xuanzhong still nodded to Fang Quyin, "This matter will be dealt with quickly, General Fang doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Since Fang Quyin intends to leave the problem to himself, even if he can't come up with any good way for a while, Lin Xuanzhong still has to deal with it with it in a dignified manner at the moment.

"Okay, you are solely responsible for this matter for the time being, I will only mention one point, I hope that General Lin will put the overall situation first," said Fang Quyin at the end, deliberately accentuating his voice, his meaning was very clear, it was nothing more than telling Lin Xuanzhong that no matter what method he adopted, he must not let those Yang troops affect the elite of the night army.

"Ben will understand," nodded, Lin Xuanzhong did not question Fang Quyin's statement, if those Yang Jun were really a hidden danger, then no matter what, Lin Xuanzhong would try his best to eliminate that hidden danger, in terms of the overall situation, Lin Xuanzhong and Fang Quyin still had a little consensus.

"In that case, tonight's council is over, everyone go back and rest," Seeing Lin Xuanzhong agree, Fang Quyin nodded and said no more, everything was up to Lin Xuanzhong to do it himself.

After returning with a stomach full of problems, Lin Xuanzhong, Zhang Jiutian and others inspected the camp, and then arranged some affairs for some generals, and finally Lin Xuanzhong returned to the camp tent. Not in the mood to rest, after walking to the military case and sitting down, Lin Xuanzhong directly spread the topographic map of Yangguo on the table, and then looked at it carefully.

There were about 400 miles from Fossil City to Meteorite City, and because of the mountainous nature of Yangguo, their marching speed was only 50 miles a day on average, and at this rate, it would take at least eight days to reach Meteorite City if the weather remained clear.

During the march, due to the unique topography of Yangguo, the cities were densely distributed, and there were five more cities on the four-hundred-mile road from Fossil City to Meteorite City, and the larger the city was the further south it went. If Yang Guozhen plotted against the Night Army, I am afraid that before Lin Xuanzhong and them arrived in Meteorite City, they would already be under siege. With 100,000 troops, or less than 100,000 troops, against the entire Yang country, the night army has no chance of winning.

If it really comes to that point, the night army can only stick to the camp and wait for reinforcements in addition to fighting to the death with all its might, and then food and grass will gradually become a major problem. However, Lin Xuanzhong was worried about more than that, there were too many mountains on the way from Fossil City to Meteorite City for four hundred miles, there were dangerous rivers and dangerous peaks, and there were no less than ten places where the night army could ambush troops on the marching route, and whether the night army could reach Meteorite City was actually an important question.

After seeing the attitude of the citizens of Fossil City towards the night army today, Lin Xuanzhong became more and more worried that the army would be attacked by local forces. Now think about dividing the 100,000-strong army into two parts, although it does lead to the dispersion of forces, it is also a good way to take the overall situation into account.

What really made Lin Xuanzhong feel embarrassed was that the new army was unstable, and its combat power was far inferior to that of the elite of the night army. Thinking about the content of the meeting just now, Lin Xuanzhong felt that he really needed to put more effort into stabilizing the morale of the military. Thinking of the eight thousand Yang army, Lin Xuanzhong was in no mood to rest.

In the dim light, Lin Xuanzhong kept observing the map, hoping to find some useful information from the map. It's a pity that even though there is a lot of information hidden in the map, not much can be detected by Lin Xuanzhong in the end.

The night passed, and early the next morning, the new army pulled out the camp early, and after meeting with Fang Quyin, Lin Xuanzhong directly led the 40,000 new army straight to Chifeng City in front. According to the introduction of the general below, Chifeng City is very high, and has always been known as the "city on the mountain", whenever the sun sets in the evening, there will be a red scene in the city, and the name of Chifeng City is derived from this.

According to those generals, it was not difficult to imagine that the scenery of Chifeng City in the evening must be extremely beautiful, but unfortunately, this could not eliminate the worries in Lin Xuanzhong's heart. After the decision was made to divide the troops into two routes, the new army, which was originally responsible for hauling siege equipment, was now responsible for escorting the prisoners, and the task seemed to be easier, but the responsibility was greater.

On the way to Chifeng City, it was still desolate, and the number of fierce beasts encountered was almost the same as that of pedestrians in the past, and both fierce beasts and pedestrians chose to avoid it once they saw the army, and they all chose to avoid it and did not dare to approach at all, so it made their journey even more lonely.

Spring has not yet fully arrived, and the march road is full of withered yellow, and it is impossible to see where Yangguo is rich just by observing the road, and many places are obviously more desolate than the border of Yiguo, and there is not a single village to be seen along the way.

In the absence of any highlights, Lin Xuanzhong paid the most attention to the situation in the front city. Their spies have already been sent to the first few cities, and it remains to be said whether they can find useful information for the time being. A day has passed, and it is a pity that it is not evening when he passed through Chifeng City, so Lin Xuanzhong did not see the beautiful scenery of Chifeng City, and only saw many eyes with hatred.

And when they camped tonight, Meteorite City had already received the news that the Night Army had entered and continued to go deeper, and for this reason, the Aomoto envoy was already discussing with the people of Gu Guo how to deal with the Night Army.

In a secret room, several generals of the Gu Kingdom were facing Shangguan Hong, and several of them were discussing strategies to deal with the night army.

"My lord, the secret agent of the Gu Kingdom has sent back the news that the night army has left Fossil City today and is on their way to Chifeng City. However, the original 100,000 night army has been divided into two teams, one team is a new army recently incorporated by the Night Country, with 40,000 people, and the other part is the elite team known as the night army, a total of 60,000 people. ”
