Chapter 13 Plan ahead
Early the next morning, a bag of grain was placed at the gate of every house in Haydem. The grain requisition troops sent by Xiao Wanlong did not use a morning's work to get enough food for 50,000 people to eat for a year. In this way, it seems that Xiao Wanlong's threat really played its due role.
At the military meeting in the afternoon, the generals present were all beaming with joy and rejoicing at the victory. Only one sat in his place with a numb expression, without a hint of joy at the victory in front of him.
This person is Xiao Wanlong. It is said that from outwitting Haydem to collecting grain, Jihua was all thought up by this Xiao Dashuai alone, and without him, there would be no victory today. In this way, he should have been the first to be pleased with today's results, but he just sat there motionless, as if he had a very heavy heart.
The first person to see the anomaly was One-Eyed Zhang. He looked Xiao Wanlong up and down with his handsome eyes for a long time, but he couldn't grasp the essentials, so he had to ask hard-headedly, "Dashuai has something on his mind?" ”
Xiao Wanlong raised his eyes and glanced at One-Eyed Zhang, and nodded very cautiously.
Wang Zumao and other extremely generals also noticed Xiao Wanlong's actions at this time, and turned their heads to their own commanders.
Seeing that Xiao Wanlong nodded, the one-eyed Zhang continued to ask, "Now Haydem has taken it." This base area is also available, and we have collected so much grain in just half a day's work. You should be happy!? How to ......"
"What's there to be happy about taking Haydem? We are now tigers tied to trees, even if we have sharp teeth, we can't use them, and if we are not careful, we will be shot! Xiao Wanlong didn't wait for One-Eyed Zhang to finish speaking, and he grabbed the conversation and explained.
Wang Zumao was a little upset when he heard this, he tilted his head and said, "Why did the big handsome say this? Now we are strong, and we don't have to worry about logistics, even if the people from the Republic call us, we are not afraid! ”
"You know the! Now everyone else has put it on our necks, don't you know? Xiao Wanlong said angrily.
Although Wang Zumao was extremely brave on the battlefield. But when he got off the battlefield, he was very afraid that Xiao Wanlong would get angry, he didn't dare to confront the angry marshal, so he had to close his mouth and stand aside.
The one-eyed Zhang was not Wang Zumao, he and Xiao Wanlong were a little closer, so he took the question just now and asked, "The big man said that someone has already taken the rack to our necks?" Don't know what this means exactly? We are not knowledgeable and do not have your vision, and I hope you can give me some advice. ”
One-eyed Zhang is very good at being a man. Although his words contain a lot of sycophants, they are generally true. These generals did have limited skills, and if it weren't for this, their group of people would not have surrendered to Xiao Wanlong's feet.
Xiao Wanlong naturally understood that One-Eyed Zhang's words contained some things to praise virtue, but he was still very useful to conceal. People are like that, even if you are a thoughtful and very knowledgeable person, you tend to listen to some flattery of yourself. Even if he knew that these words were not true, he could not stop his vanity.
Vanity is common to everyone, it's just that everyone deals with it differently. For successful people, vanity is only a fleeting thing. It is the embellishment of their own success; For the vanity of ordinary people, it is a deadly poison, a spiritual opium that makes people get carried away.
It is impossible for Xiao Wanlong to be knocked down by his own vanity. He had more important things to do. Faced with One-Eyed Zhang's question, he just sighed and said, "You only see the superficial things but don't dig deeper. The people of the republic have been brainwashed by witchcraft, so they will not rebel against us. But I'm worried that someone might tell you. ”
"Whistleblowers? Impossible, right? Didn't the marshal say that it was harder to get out of the city than to ascend to the sky? Besides, even if someone could escape from the city. But where did he go for help? The republic doesn't have an army! We don't need to worry. After listening to Xiao Wanlong's words, One-Eyed Zhang expressed his opinion.
Xiao Wanlong half-closed his eyes and said, "You underestimate the Republic too much. I said that it is harder to get out of the city than to go to the sky, but if you scare them, you will take it seriously? The technology in this country is very advanced, and we can't completely control it, and there will always be a way for people who want to snitch or run away to send the news out. Don't forget, the Republic doesn't have an army, but it still has the annoying Seventh Division! ”
After his explanation, One-Eyed Zhang understood. That seems to be the case. Still, he didn't feel the need to be so nervous. So he said to Xiao Wanlong: "Dashuai, your analysis is correct, but my subordinates think that we have a little high regard for the Republic." The ability of the seventh department has been taught more than ten years ago. At that time, these villains killed so many of us by despicable means, but it was a fluke after all. Now that we are prepared, there are a few capable people in his seventh department, and we can't deal with the thousands of troops in the original village! ”
"They don't just have the Seventh Division!" Xiao Wanlong just said this, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Mo Yantian. Mo Beitian naturally understood what the old village owner meant. He subconsciously immediately lowered his head.
Xiao Wanlong didn't pursue Mo Yantian's actions, he just smiled slightly and stopped talking.
This series of actions was known only to these two people, and the others did not find anything strange. Even a person like One-Eyed Zhang, who is good at observing words and feelings, didn't notice the change in Xiao Wanlong's eyes just now. His attention was all on savoring the words of the handsome.
The one-eyed Zhang pondered for a long time and didn't understand why Xiao Wanlong suddenly popped up with such a sentence. He cautiously asked, "What do you mean when you say it's not just the Seventh Department?" Could it be that they have other troops? ”
"I'll talk about that later. Now it is imperative that we immediately arrange the next step of jihua. Xiao Wanlong did not answer the one-eyed question, but changed the topic and prevaricated it.
Seeing that Xiao Wanlong had no intention of continuing to explain, the one-eyed Zhang didn't ask anymore, he straightened up and responded, "Dashuai give an order!" We will definitely go to the soup! ”
As soon as he said this, the other generals behind him echoed in unison.
Xiao Wanlong touched his beard. Say, "Good! In that case, then follow my commands. The army rested here for three days! After three days, they all withdrew from the city! ”
"What? This ......" Several generals were immediately confused when they heard this. Isn't Haydem strategic? This base has just been taken, why is it going to be withdrawn now?
Xiao Wanlong saw the generals' doubts, he waved his hand, and said, "You don't need to inquire much first, just do what I want." You'll soon understand the rest. Alright, let's adjourn! ”
Since Xiao Wanlong has talked about this, it is inconvenient for the generals to say anything more. They hurriedly received orders and left.
"Boy, you stay for a while!" Xiao Wanlong stopped Mo Yantian, who walked to the door.
"Is there anything wrong with the big handsome?" Mo Beitian stopped and asked.
Xiao Wanlong saw that the others had already walked out of the temporary conference room, and closed the door casually. He returned to his seat and asked straight to the point, "What did you tell me about the scum turning into a human last time, can you explain it to me specifically?" ”
Mo Beitian was not surprised, when Xiao Wanlong looked at him, he had a hunch that the old village owner would ask him this question, so Mo Beitian sat back in his place unhurriedly, and said: "I have actually explained this question a long time ago, but you don't believe it. ”
"I believe it now." Xiao Wanlong said.
Mo Beitian was a little surprised, why did this person change so quickly? A few days ago, he was disdainful of what he said, and now he actually took the initiative to say that he believed in the materialization of scum. It seems that this Xiao Wanlong is even more unfathomable than he originally imagined.
"Why don't you speak?" Xiao Wanlong saw that Mo was distracted, so he got up and asked.
"No, nothing." Mo Beitian quickly eased up from his thoughts. He rolled his eyes and said, "Since the marshal believes what I say, it proves that you want to make a fuss about this now, right?" ”
Xiao Wanlong smiled: "Boy, you'd better not speculate on my thoughts casually. ”
When he said this, his eyes never took off Mo Biantian. After a short silence, the old village owner said, "However, you guessed it right, I really want to study the problem of scum. ”
"About what?" Don't ask against the sky.
"On whether the scum can be mass-produced." Xiao Wanlong replied as if nonchalantly. (To be continued......)
