Chapter 286

After learning about the situation in the army, those generals who did not know Zhao Wu's intentions continued to listen to the other generals report the information they had tortured from the enemy prisoners today.

Half an hour later, more than a dozen generals made both sources clear.

"I apologize for summoning all the generals to the council hall so late and delaying your rest," For these generals who have made great achievements for themselves, Zhao Wu's attitude towards joining the army in the same country is similar to that of the night country, but the temperament of a commander has always been there when Zhao Wu spoke.

Even if Zhao Wu's tone was very calm, those generals would not feel that Zhao Wu was very polite to them, let alone dare to worry about their hard work in front of Zhao Wu.

"The marshal must have summoned us to discuss important matters, how dare we have any objections," a general agreed in a respectful tone, in front of Zhao Wu, this person could obviously feel that his momentum was too different from Zhao Wu, and he was naturally very in awe of Zhao Wu, and his tone of voice was respectful.

"Just now, the commander has asked several generals to explain the situation on both sides of the enemy and us, maybe the generals are still not very clear about the situation of the enemy army, but they must be very clear about the situation in our military camp. ”

Zhao Wu glanced at the faces of the generals, and then continued: "This marshal will not say the situation they said again, this marshal summoned you tonight to discuss the matter of the army after tomorrow, I wonder if the generals think that Ben Shuai's decision is a bit hasty?"

"My subordinates really don't know why the marshal is in a hurry to send troops, our army has taken Xilan Pass, and the entire Xilan City has lost its barrier, it is a matter of time before Xilan City is taken, is it a matter of time before the marshal wants to fight with the remaining snow army as soon as possible?"

"There are too many wounded soldiers in our army, and they don't have a certain amount of time to recuperate, and those wounded soldiers can't go to battle at all, so many soldiers are puzzled by the marshal's order to rush to send troops, and they don't know what the marshal's plans are?"

"The morale of the army is turbulent, many soldiers today are talking about sending troops, many soldiers are resistant to a rush of war, according to the general, the current situation of our army is not suitable for marching, it is better to wait for our army to send all the military supplies it needs, and then our army can also be fully prepared. ”

After Zhao Wu made it clear that the generals could express their own opinions, some generals who were also puzzled by Zhao Wu's military order to send troops told what they knew, and some people directly persuaded Zhao Wu not to send troops for the time being.

"The analysis of several generals is not unreasonable, I wonder if the others have a common opinion or a contrary opinion?" Zhao Wu summoned more than a dozen generals to the hall, naturally wanting to hear more about their opinions.

Meeting Zhao Wu's gaze, some generals looked thoughtful, some generals opened their mouths to say something but didn't say anything, and some generals lowered their heads and didn't know what they were thinking.

In a blink of an eye, Zhao Wu looked at the demeanor of more than a dozen generals, and finally stopped at the commander of the third battalion. Among the dozen generals, the nine main generals were the ones who could really influence Zhao Wu's decision-making, and Zhao Wu was eager to hear what they meant.

"Marshal, the last general thinks that the proposal of the generals to persuade the marshal to withdraw the military order just now is very reasonable, and the current situation of our army is indeed not suitable for rushing to send troops. If the marshal allows our army to rest for a while, our army will definitely defeat the remnants of the Snow Army. It was Zhang Jiu, the commander of the cavalry battalion, who spoke.

Under Zhao Wu's gaze, this person said his opinion with a straight face, and his words were full of a general's demeanor. Even some of the generals next to him were affected by this person's momentum, and their faces became excited, and they all felt that what Zhang Jiu said was very reasonable, but Zhao Wu was unmoved, and turned to look at Li Xingyue, another cavalry battalion commander.

"Marshal, the last general thought that the news of the defeat of the Snow Army would soon reach the army of the Snow Country, and at that time, the people in several armies of the Snow Country would be panicked, and they would not dare to resist the edge of our army. If our army can rest for a few days and wait for the army's morale to stabilize, our army will definitely be able to defeat the Snow Army as General Zhang said. Living up to Zhao Wu's slightly expectant eyes, Li Xingyue directly expressed his opinion.

Up to now, several generals have expressed the same opinion, and none of them intend to rush into battle. did not stay on Li Xingyue, Zhao Wu's gaze had stopped on Zhao Xu at this moment.

"The marshal must have a deep meaning if he wants to send troops in a hurry, although I, Zhao Xu, don't know what the marshal's plans are, but I will definitely not violate the marshal's military orders," Zhao Xu is worthy of being a rough man, and his words are simple and realistic, as if he doesn't think through his brain. If others consider the relationship between Zhao Xu and Zhao Wu, then what Zhao Xu said will undoubtedly cause other people to be disgusted.

On the other hand, no matter what, someone finally expressed the opposite opinion, and Zhao Wu nodded to Zhao Xu unexpectedly, and then looked at the three main generals of the infantry camp.

"Marshal, our military has been rushing for days and days, and the attack on Xilan Pass was already considered a rapid battle, and because of the attack on the city, our army experienced a bitter battle. Although the morale of the army was high, many of the soldiers were a little tired and unfit to continue the battle, so the marshal was asked to consider it carefully. Li Jianran, one of the three main generals of the infantry battalion who spoke, naturally hoped that Zhao Wu would withdraw the military order.

"General Li's words are wrong, the siege is urgent, but General Li should not forget that in the end, our night army won a complete victory. Although some soldiers were killed and wounded, the results of our army were different. If the marshal had heeded your advice and withdrawn his troops, I am afraid that more soldiers would have died in Xilanguan that day, so the general felt that we should follow the marshal's decision," it was Shi Tiangao, the commander of the arrow battalion, who spoke, and this person spoke sharply, overturning the opinions of all the generals who were unwilling to fight in one fell swoop.

Just as this person said, the great victory in Xilanguan completely lies in Zhao Wu's control of the timing, Zhao Wu's ability to command the battle, they are obvious to all, when they think of this, although others feel that Shi Tiangao's statement gives people a feeling of blind obedience, but they can't decide that what Shi Tiangao said is wrong.

The generals who had previously expressed their reluctance to rush to war had to put aside their original thoughts and reconsider why Zhao Wu had decided to rush to war. As a result, what Zhao Xu said just now directly became a foothold for them to consider the problem, and several generals felt that Zhao Wu would definitely not be as hasty as they thought when making the decision to fight.

"What General Zhao said is that we have seen with our own eyes the marshal's ability, presumably the marshal must have a deep meaning in rushing to enter the west wind city, no matter how much you oppose it, this general is in favor of sending troops as soon as possible. After a period of time, after a brief consideration, Li Xingyue, the commander of the cavalry battalion, had changed his mind.

"It's not difficult to send troops, but if we are not sure of victory, what's the use of us rushing to send troops? It's not that the general doesn't trust the marshal's ability, it's just that Zhang Mouzhen feels that General Shi's views are a bit extreme," Zhang Jiu, who spoke, still hasn't changed his previous opinion after thinking left and right.

Now the actual situation of the army is there, the soldiers' uniforms cannot be unified, some soldiers wear shoes that are even taken off from the corpse of the snow army, and more importantly, the military is different, Zhang Jiu does not want any accidents to happen in the army at a critical moment.

When besieging and killing the Snow Army before, those Snow Army were the best example, some Snow Army resisted, and some Snow Army fled in embarrassment, and the inconsistency of the army caused great confusion in the formation of the Snow Army, and many Snow Army died in the chaos. Now there are some soldiers in his army who are indeed unwilling to fight, and Zhang Jiu does not want to fight with soldiers who are unwilling to fight.

Of course, no matter how Zhang Jiu insisted on his opinion, many generals were already thinking about the advantages of the main battle, and even thinking of the situation of the Snow Army that Zhao Wu had just specially explained, they looked at a map placed on the table one after another.

There are several marked places on the map, which are the locations of several armies of the Snow Country at this moment. Judging from the markings on the map, there are a total of four Snow Country armies, which are coming in the direction of Xilan City from four directions, some far away from Xilan Pass, and some closer.

Previously, Zhang Yuan also said that their reinforcements would arrive within three days, but now the opinion is simply a bluffing trick, and it is impossible for several reinforcements of the Snow Army to arrive in a short time. But then again, if Zhao Wu hadn't insisted on attacking the city yesterday, then after the withdrawal of troops, more snow troops would have come one after another.

While observing the location of several snow armies, several generals were glad that they followed Zhao Wu's instructions yesterday and finally wiped out the entire snow army, so that the situation in front of the night army was optimistic.

Zhao Wu spread the map on the table, it was impossible to simply let them observe the location of those snow troops, there must be other intentions. As a result, some of the generals began to think again.

"Those snow troops may not have received the information that Xilan Pass has been breached by our army, if they come, our army will definitely be able to catch them off guard if they ambush them halfway. Could it be that the marshal asked us to send troops in advance to ambush the Snow Army," Shi Tiangao, the commander of the arrow battalion, seemed to think of Zhao Wu's intentions, and immediately said his guess with a shocked face.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and the generals in the hall seemed to instantly understand Zhao Wu's intention to break the Snow Army one by one, and even Zhang Jiu, who had not changed his mind just now, had his eyes flickering at this moment, staring at the arrow battalion commander who spoke in disbelief.

If the Snow Army can be defeated one by one before the Snow Army gathers, it is indeed a good idea for the Night Army, and when General Yigan thought of the cleverness of this plan, his eyes showed surprise one after another, but when they were pleasantly surprised by this, Zhao Wu's face did not change much at this moment, but there was still a little disappointment in his eyes.

In Zhao Wu's opinion, the statement of the commander of the arrow battalion just now could not be miscalculated, but it was far from meeting Zhao Wu's psychological requirements, and Zhao Wu hoped that someone could give a truly accurate inference.
