Chapter 945: Pondering

I didn't think much of the substance, but I remembered a lot of worried faces, and the mood of the general below became more and more anxious. Looking back, the matter about the puppet army has indeed dragged on for too long, and the longer the time, the greater the impact on morale, and it is not wise to forcibly stabilize the morale of the army now, Lin Xuanzhong wants to find a way to fundamentally restore the morale of the army to normal.

The interference of anxious emotions with Lin Xuanzhong was not too great, so many questions appeared in Lin Xuanzhong's mind one after another.

Half an hour later, there was no noise outside the tent, and Lin Xuanzhong, who had not gained much, returned to his tent. Because he couldn't think of a way to do it, Lin Xuanzhong planned to rest early.

I have experienced the feeling of not being able to survive and die in Yangguo, Lin Xuanzhong is not afraid that he will not be able to sleep, and those annoying problems can be postponed until tomorrow. If you still can't make a decision tomorrow, let the general below decide. For Lin Xuanzhong, it is not the last moment, the only thing that Lin Xuanzhong cares about is that he just can't decide the direction of things for himself.

"General, Vice Admiral Hong has something to look for you," It's a pity that you can't sleep if you want to, just about to take off your clothes and wash up, the voice of a guard outside came.

"Let him in," Lin Xuanzhong responded, after a brief consideration.

"General," after a burst of footsteps, Hong Yu, who had opened the curtain, walked in.

"Vice General Hong, what is the matter with you coming to me?" Hong Yu's sudden arrival may have an urgent military intelligence report, Lin Xuanzhong's eyes flashed.

"General, I've already heard about what you asked me to inquire about before, do you want to hear it now?" Hong Yu's face was very calm, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow.

"You mean the situation in the north?" Lin Xuanzhong's eyes lit up, and Lin Xuanzhong directly thought of what Hong Yu wanted to say.

"Well," nodding, Hong Yu said with a serious face: "Beiling is not far from us, but it is far more chaotic than the subordinates imagined. ”

After the beginning of the sentence, Hong Yu used the relevant news sent back by those spies to talk eloquently, from Beiling to Sleepless City, then from Sleepless City to Shanhaiguan, and finally from Shanhaiguan to them, Hong Yu relayed all the information found by the secret agents to Lin Xuanzhong.

According to Hong Yu, after the ownerless cities of Beiling have experienced problems such as beast tides and bandits, the population has been greatly concentrated in the middle area, and most of the places around the city that are suitable for ordinary people to live in have now become the territory of fierce beasts, and now the people in those places are busy fighting for territory with fierce beasts and bandits, but the two big countries on the left and right have been eyeing Beiling.

Although it has not yet been officially conquered by the army, it has long allowed those people in the borderless city to choose their future destination. If no one agrees, as soon as the armies of the two countries arrive, the entire North Ridge will become a battlefield. Under pressure from all sides, many have fled to places they thought were safe.

There are also those who are entrenched in those places and cannot leave for the time being, so they wait for the two principalities to fight, and they will submit to the winner. Including the cities that never sleep, the situation of those borderless cities is very awkward. Moreover, because of the difficulties of trade, many places are already eating their old books and moving in the direction of decay.

The desolate wolf organization that Lin Xuanzhong deliberately asked Hong Yu to investigate had developed into a legion. If it weren't for the lack of Golden Scale Arrows, maybe before the two principalities were divided, the Desolate Wolf Legion had already ruled the entire North Ridge one step ahead, and now the number of legions had expanded to 300,000, and the overall strength was by no means a single city could confront it, which was also a reason why those borderless cities began to move towards unity.

However, even if they have decided to unite with the outside world, the Wolves will still reach out to them from time to time, and the problems of banditry are endless, and those who are still living in Northridge are having a hard time. The city that never sleeps is completely less prosperous than it used to be, and after the merchants from all over the world have withdrawn one after another, the strength of the city's chamber of commerce alone is no longer enough to maintain the normal operation of the entire city, and the interruption of business contacts with the outside world has been too long, and the permanent personnel in the city have been greatly reduced.

If the northern part of the Northern Regions cannot be reunified as soon as possible, the city that never sleeps, which already has no economic strength, will only fall behind more and more. All in all, the situation in Northridge is a mess, everyone is looking for a way out, only the Wild Wolf Organization is doing well.

After Hong Yu finished talking about the information he had heard so far, Lin Xuanzhong was a little satisfied and a little disappointed, what he didn't want to happen still happened, the growth of the Desolate Wolf Organization had a great impact on his upcoming trip to the north, and the interruption of the caravan seemed to cut off the way back. Considering that it was impossible for the current north to be as easy to enter and exit as before, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but retreat, no matter what, it was too dangerous to go back alone.

"If the general has no other orders, his subordinates will retire first," Seeing Lin Xuanzhong's frown, Hong Yu knew that Lin Xuanzhong cared about what he said. And after this period of inquiry, Hong Yu already knew why Lin Xuanzhong wanted them to check the situation in the north, because Lin Xuanzhong was born there.

"The spies sent didn't encounter any problems, right?" Thinking that it might not be easy to go there to find out information, seeing that Hong Yu was leaving, Lin Xuanzhong immediately asked with concern.

"A total of eight people have been sent, and two brothers have lost their news, and according to the speculation of their subordinates, they are likely to encounter an accident on the way to inquire about the news," Lin Xuanzhong responded simply, and Hong Yu's originally calm face finally changed. That was distressed about the loss of personnel, and Lin Xuanzhong could see Qin Chong's mood at a glance.

"You have to inquire about the situation in the north for me, and after this war, I will give special praise to the intelligence department. ”

"It is an honor for me to be appreciated by the general and work for the general, and the general does not have to be polite!"

Lin Xuanzhong's official tone made Hong Yu's face even more ugly, maybe those spies were all cultivated by Hong Yu, and the relationship between Hong Yu and those people was very deep, and Hong Yu was a little dissatisfied with Lin Xuanzhong's attitude.

Hong Yu's performance made Lin Xuanzhong feel guilty, if it was for the sake of the military situation, it would have been said in the past, but it was for a private matter, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly felt a little sorry for Hong Yu, but he didn't care about the lives of those two people in his heart. Just now, he obviously felt that the two secret agents were very likely to have encountered an accident, and Lin Xuanzhong's heart only trembled for a moment, and then everything returned to normal, not caring about the life and death of those two people at all.

When he realized that there was something wrong with the way he spoke, Lin Xuanzhong became more and more difficult to face Hong Yu, "You go back and rest early!" After slowly commanding, Lin Xuanzhong directly looked away from Hong Yu's face.

"The subordinates retreated," bowed, and Hong Yu directly withdrew from Lin Xuanzhong's tent.

As soon as Hong Yu left, Lin Xuanzhong's heart was full of feelings. Thinking about those who are loyal to their lives, Lin Xuanzhong is very guilty of them because of his recent actions, but unfortunately he is powerless to change this situation.

After taking off his clothes and armor and washing up briefly, Lin Xuanzhong, who was no longer in the mood to rest, still blew out the oil lamp and then lay on the bed.

Without a little sleepiness, Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts turned. Due to the unpredictable outcome of the battle with Rao's army, the news brought by Hong Yu was undoubtedly the news that Lin Xuanzhong did not expect. Now that I think about it, if I can't go with the army, I'm afraid it's useless to go back alone.

After thinking about it for a long time, it is not easy to return to Beiling no matter what, after a period of worry, Lin Xuanzhong can understand why Qingyi said that he would wait until the two of them become stronger before going back, that is because it is difficult to go back safely with the current strength of the two of them. The most important thing is that if you want to investigate Qinglan's situation, you need to bring a large number of high-level martial arts cultivation.

There are quite a few high-level martial cultivators in the army, but regardless of whether Lan Ce agrees to take those people away temporarily, the matter of returning to Beiling must at least be placed after the battle with the Rao army, so if you want to go back, you must win the Rao army first, otherwise you don't have to think about going back. After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts returned to the current war.

Since the puppet army defected, in the past two days, Rao's army has been very quiet, as if he is concentrating on controlling the remaining puppet army, and he has no time to take care of them.

On the night when a large number of puppet soldiers fled, the Rao army chased and killed many people, and also showed the corpses of some deserters to the remaining puppet soldiers, which was used to deter those puppet soldiers Lin Xuanzhong already knew. The puppet army's behavior may have really caused Rao Jun's high-level to worry, but what happened over there may also be Rao Jun's deliberate doing.

If the commander of the Rao army had a careful plan, there might be people from the Rao army left in Tianyu Kingdom, then it was very likely that Zhou Wenfeng and others would be noticed by the Rao army when they lobbied in various places. Thinking about it this way, in addition to waiting for news such as peace of mind, Lin Xuanzhong also had to consider how to deal with the next situation if Zhou Wenfeng and their actions failed.

In fact, it didn't matter if Zhou Wenfeng could convince those local forces, Lin Xuanzhong was just worried that Zhou Wenfeng and the others would be in danger. The more you think about it, the more you think about it, and the more layers are involved. Before he could think about it for a while, Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts were already completely chaotic, and in the end, he just wanted to find someone to talk to about the questions in his stomach.

The feeling of wanting to talk to someone made Lin Xuanzhong think of Ruan Ming, but unfortunately it was very late now, and I didn't know if Ruan Ming had rested, so Lin Xuanzhong had to consider whether to go over immediately. After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xuanzhong finally decided to try his luck.

After walking in the direction of Xue Yin's tent with two guards, Lin Xuanzhong noticed that the camp at night was very quiet, even the patrol officers were rare, and there was an air of silence everywhere.

After walking more than 100 meters, the tent with bright light appeared in front of me. Without thinking about the results of Xue Yin's fortune calculation a few days ago, Lin Xuanzhong immediately thought that since the lights were still on in the tent, it meant that the people inside had not rested. After getting closer past those guards, Lin Xuanzhong, who was in a hurry, suddenly stopped again.
