Chapter 873: Stratagem

For Bai Shuilian and the others, receiving such good news when they first came here naturally made them very happy. So, before the meeting began, the high-level leaders of the night army, including Bai Shuilian, praised Lin Xuanzhong one after another, saying that Lin Xuanzhong was even more wise and martial than Zhao Xu.

Lin Xuanzhong could only respond modestly to this, and vigorously pushed the credit to Fang Quyin and others, and as a result, those people thought highly of him. Anyway, when facing Bai Shuilian, because of Bai Ye's relationship, Lin Xuanzhong has always behaved dignifiedly.

"Why didn't General Lin attack Xingcheng three days ago? If he directly attacked Xingcheng and captured Emperor Gu, it would definitely be a great achievement," under Lin Xuanzhong's polite hospitality, a night army commander named Lu Xianyue, who came with Bai Shuilian, generously asked Lin Xuanzhong questions.

"General Lu doesn't think the current situation is better?" Zhang Jiutian had asked a similar question before, so it was not difficult for Lin Xuanzhong to answer Lu Xianyue now.

"Since Emperor Gu has fled, what is General Lin's plan next?" Lin Xuanzhong's rhetorical question was the answer that Lu Xianyue wanted, and after knowing Lin Xuanzhong's opinion on Emperor Gu's abandonment of the city and fleeing, Lu Xianyue went on to ask another question.

"When Gu Huang left, he also took with him a Praetorian Guard army with about 50,000 troops, plus 200,000 reinforcements from the Soviet State in the south, a total of 250,000 troops," not in a hurry to talk about the plan, Lin Xuanzhong planned to tell Bai Shuilian more information first, "Three days ago, Gu Huang had ordered the transfer of the western army back to Kyoto, but before the army returned, Gu Huang had already retreated first, and now that army is still on the way to Xingcheng, and he may not even know the news that Gu Huang abandoned the city and fled. ”

"Under the relentless pursuit of the Lei army, the original 400,000 troops in the western part of the valley country have only half of the troops left after many losses. If the Lei army continues to pursue, in the next few days, the Gu army will have certain losses, and he planned to recruit them on the way to Xingcheng on the way to Xingcheng," For the last sentence, Lin Xuanzhong explained the situation of the Gu country to everyone.

It was also at this time that everyone realized that Lin Xuanzhong had indeed thought of a plan, but the content of the plan was not to occupy Xingcheng, let alone capture the Gu Emperor, but to that Gu army.

"General Lin thinks that Gu army will fall to us?" While marveling at Lin Xuanzhong's foresight, and thinking about how likely Lin Xuanzhong's plan was to succeed, Lu Xianyue was very curious why Lin Xuanzhong had such an idea. At the same time, people who felt the same way as Lu Xianyue looked at Lin Xuanzhong, wanting to hear Lin Xuanzhong's high opinions.

"Ben General is not absolutely sure, but whether the plan is successful or not, Ben General has already planned to recruit troops and expand his troops as soon as possible," to everyone's disappointment, Lin Xuanzhong was not as confident as they imagined, and it seemed that Lin Xuanzhong's plan was just an incomplete idea.

"General Lin has lofty ambitions, Bai admires, if you need help, but it doesn't hurt," when Lu Xianyue didn't know how to answer because of Lin Xuanzhong's answer, Bai Shuilian on the side nodded seriously, intending to support Lin Xuanzhong.

"In this case, when our army passes Xingcheng tomorrow, the marshal and General Fang will lead the troops to rush to these two local garrisons in two ways, as the general's reliance, the general will only take 30,000 men to intercept the Gu army," he said, pointing out three locations on the map, in fact, in terms of subduing that Gu army, Lin Xuanzhong did not have a complete plan as some generals thought, but had already fully considered it.

With the strength of 30,000 soldiers to intercept the Gu army, which is several times more than them, no one will believe it if there is no risk, but Lin Xuanzhong's courage in those simple words is equally shocking.

"General Lin's idea is really admirable, but isn't General Lin worried that the Gu army will not accept persuasion to surrender?" As a chief general, Lu Xianyue knew that there could be no luck in wartime, so even if he felt that Lin Xuanzhong might do this, he still made an assumption out of good intentions.

"Thank you General Lu for your concern, in fact, the general didn't intend to confront them head-on, and the key to subjugating the Gu army is not the general," Speaking of this, Lin Xuanzhong glanced at Fang Quyin and the white water lotus on the side with a faint smile.

"General Lin, can you explain it clearly?" Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong seemed to be pointing, Bai Shuilian looked over again. Although he had not been in contact with Lin Xuanzhong for a long time, Lin Xuanzhong had too many incomprehensible things in his eyes, and Bai Shuilian was also very curious about what Lin Xuanzhong's specific plans were.

"The marshal and General Fang will lead the army to form a horn with our army respectively, so as to rely on the general to persuade them, even if the Gu army is unwilling to submit at that time, with the strength of our three armies, we can still stop the Gu army and make it impossible for them to join the Gu Emperor," Lin Xuanzhong had a definite plan to subdue that Gu army.

If you can't take it for your own use, then destroy that Gu army, now Lin Xuanzhong's plan is to take 30,000 people to stop the Gu army's inevitable path, and when the Gu army arrives, give the Gu army two choices, either return to the night army, or enter the trap set by the night army. At that time, the Gu army is in a dilemma, and it is more likely that they will return to the night country.

"General Lin means to let Ben Shuai and General Fang divide their troops and advance, form a corner with you, and then you will intercept the Gu army. At that time, because there are fierce tigers behind the Gu army and fierce wolves in front, they will definitely carefully consider the general's proposal," Bai Shuilian's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Lin Xuanzhong meant. According to Lin Xuanzhong's plan, their three armies were distributed in three locations, as if setting a trap for the Gu army, waiting for the Gu army to get in.

As long as Lin Xuanzhong does not start a war with the Gu army, after knowing the situation ahead, the high-level of the Gu army will not dare to act rashly because they are afraid of entering the trap and being besieged by the three night armies, but there is still the Lei army chasing after them in the rear, in such a situation, there are really not many choices that the Gu army can make, regardless of whether Lin Xuanzhong's plan can succeed or not, one thing is for sure is that Lin Xuanzhong's strategy to subdue the Gu army is very clever.

"Exactly," when Bai Shuilian was amazed at Lin Xuanzhong's cleverness, Lin Xuanzhong nodded and pointed to the topographic map of the valley country, telling everyone the topographical characteristics of the three locations just pointed out. In order to make everyone listen more clearly, Lin Xuanzhong personally explained the specific content of the plan to recruit the Gu army.

"General Lin is very intelligent, this commander admires, without further ado, General Lin should set a specific departure time for the three of us according to the distance," The next time, Bai Shuilian was already a little anxious to witness Lin Xuanzhong's ability.

"If General Fang has no objection, he can lead the troops to take the first step today, and the marshal and I will not be too late to leave tomorrow," because Fang Quyin is going to the farthest place, so Fang Quyin can go first. In addition, Bai Shuilian only came with troops today, and Lin Xuanzhong wanted them to rest for a day.

"Okay, Ben will set off immediately," it was not yet noon, and they could still pass through Xingcheng before nightfall, because there was a possibility of encountering obstacles on the way to the target place, Fang Quyin had no reason to refuse to set off early, and they had already rested here for many days.

"There is General Laofang," seeing that Fang Quyin supported him so much, Lin Xuanzhong was very grateful.

"Ben will go over and prepare immediately, and the marshal will talk to General Lin again," Fang Quyin smiled very happily, and inadvertently saw Zhao Wu's shadow on Lin Xuanzhong. Thinking about Lin Xuanzhong's wisdom and bravery, Fang Quyin finally understood why Lin Xuanzhong was able to win the attention of Zhao Xu and other main generals, all because Lin Xuanzhong himself had great potential. Regardless of whether or not the remnants of the Gu army could be subdued this time, as long as the three armies of them arrived at the designated position, most of the Gu countries would fall, which was undoubtedly another great achievement for Lin Xuanzhong.

In just over a month, Fang Quyin has seen too many miracles in Lin Xuanzhong, the current Lin Xuanzhong is the future of the Night Kingdom, no matter what the future situation is, the Night Kingdom needs a rare talent like Lin Xuanzhong.

"General Lin is brave and brave, and this commander admires," Thinking that as long as Lin Xuanzhong's strategy succeeded, they could disintegrate that Gu army without blood, Bai Shuilian couldn't help but praise Lin Xuanzhong when she didn't expect any flaws in Lin Xuanzhong's strategy.

"The marshal has won the award," Bai Shuilian praised herself three times and twice, which made Lin Xuanzhong a little embarrassed, but as a junior, Lin Xuanzhong always had to deal with it with a humble attitude, "If the marshal has no objections, let's discuss how to guard against the army of the Soviet State in the south during the implementation of the plan." ”

In terms of subduing the Gu army, Lin Xuanzhong thought a lot, and he didn't know that the Gu Emperor would fight back after the army of the Su State converged and forcibly received the Gu army. If they move quickly, the original plan to subdue the Gu army may have to be changed. If the Gu Emperor did not return, after the matter was completed, they would have to deal with the 200,000 reinforcements from the Su State and the remnants of the Gu State.

The above two issues cannot be carried out at the same time, so it is necessary to consider the chronological order, so Lin Xuanzhong and Bai Shuilian will have a good discussion about how to deal with them if there is a situation that affects their plan.

At the same time, after more than ten days of hard work, the overall situation of the Wing Country finally stabilized. Whether it is the problem of animal disease, banditry, or the rebellion of local forces, all of them have been effectively dealt with in all aspects. Now Zhao Xu is recruiting troops in the Wing Country on a large scale, and at the same time sending two armies to the border between the Flying Country and the Lanyue Country.

When Zhao Xu was busy stabilizing the situation of the Wing Country before, the Moon Country and the Flying Country did not add to the chaos of the Night Army, otherwise the situation of the Wing Country would have stabilized long ago. Now that he has received the news of the success of the five-nation alliance, Zhao Xu has the confidence to crusade against these two countries. Even if they can't capture the two countries for the time being, they must make up for their previous losses from both countries.

As for the Moon Nation and the Flying Country, the stability of the Wing Country is the last thing they want to see. At the beginning, they frequently interfered when the Night Army was in danger, and now the Night Kingdom must have sent troops to them to take revenge on them.
