Chapter 918: Pre-War Arrangements
Lin Xuanzhong's reaction was relatively fast, and the answer he gave was not much different from the result Ruan Yi expected. Ruan Yi asked Lin Xuanzhong in advance what he meant, just to let Lin Xuanzhong prepare before going to the big tent.
"I see," nodded, Lin Xuanzhong was already thinking about something else. Ruan Ming didn't want others to know about tonight's date, but it backfired after a series of situations, and when he felt that he hadn't done anything wrong, Lin Xuanzhong just thought that he didn't need to come forward in person for tonight's military affairs, but the generals below made a big fuss, and now he had to think about how to deal with those generals, and he couldn't help but have a headache.
After "Hu ......" stopped his horse at a distance from the big tent and asked Ruan Yi to send Ruan Ming back to rest, Lin Xuanzhong rushed to the big tent alone. As soon as he entered the big tent, the casual clothes immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the surprise in the eyes of some generals seemed to be dissatisfied with Lin Xuanzhong.
"General," but despite this, those people still respectfully saluted after confirming Lin Xuanzhong's identity.
"Let the three armies prepare for battle early tomorrow morning, regardless of whether the Rao army will come over or not, and deal with it with the attitude before the war," Seeing the eyes of the generals, Lin Xuanzhong felt the dissatisfaction of some people. Thinking about the imminent war, but he only cares about the personal feelings of his children, it is indeed a little uncomfortable, Lin Xuanzhong can understand their dissatisfaction, but there are still some things to say, "If everyone has no objection to the general's arrangement, go back early to prepare for tomorrow's war." ”
"Yes," I waited for a long time, but what I waited for was a sentence, although Lin Xuanzhong's instructions were fine, but this was too short a process, which still made many people unacceptable, especially when Lin Xuanzhong was dressed so casually. However, there is really nothing worth discussing about the preparation for the war, Lin Xuanzhong asked them to go back to rest, and there was really no reason to stay.
"Hong Yu, you stay," When the generals turned around and left the big tent, Lin Xuanzhong noticed Hong Yu standing next to Zhang Jiutian.
"Yes," Hong Yu, who wanted to leave with the others, agreed, and then wonderfully thought about Lin Xuanzhong's intention to let him stay.
In a blink of an eye, only Lin Xuanzhong and Hong Yu were left in the big tent.
"General, what are you looking for me?" Looking at Lin Xuanzhong with an easy-going face, the apprehension in Hong Yu's heart disappeared, and in a blink of an eye, he was as casual as when he usually talked to Lin Xuanzhong.
"I have something for you to do. ”
"General, please. ”
"Now there are more secret agents in the army?"
"There are still some people who stay in the army, waiting for orders at any time, I don't know what the general commands?"
"I want you to send some people to the north of Shanhaiguan to check on the situation, especially in the area of Beiling. ”
"Why does the general want to investigate the situation over there, is it possible that after a while, we will send troops over there?" A trace of confusion flashed on Hong Yu's face, and he didn't understand why Lin Xuanzhong asked him to check the situation that had nothing to do with the current war.
"Don't ask so much, you just said that you can find out the situation over there?"
"The news that our spies heard earlier is that the situation over there is relatively chaotic, but it is not difficult to get there, just send some high-strength personnel, otherwise the risk is very high," nodded, Hong Yu still gave Lin Xuanzhong an affirmative answer. According to Hong Yu's tone, although the situation in the northern part of Shanhaiguan is relatively chaotic, it is not difficult for them to inquire about some news, and the difficulty is that the risk of going there is not small.
"There is a gang of bandits called the Wild Wolves in the Northridge area, and I want to find out about the recent situation of this organization. ”
"Don't worry, Hong Yu will not let the general down," Lin Xuanzhong's serious demeanor made Hong Yu realize that Lin Xuanzhong valued this matter very much, so Hong Yu behaved very simply when he agreed.
"If nothing else, go back and rest. ”
"Yes," agreed, and Hong Yu strode away directly.
As soon as Hong Yu left, the huge tent became even more empty, it was still early, and Lin Xuanzhong wanted to think about something here. At the end of the day, his own affairs have been almost dealt with, and now Lin Xuanzhong has to think about things in the army.
According to Ruan Yi's previous statement, Rao's army has a great tendency to move troops. If the 300,000 Rao army comes tomorrow, they will no longer be able to fight in the camp position.
At present, the weather is too hot and too close to the battlefield, which may cause the soldiers to contract diseases, so they have to fight a little farther away from the camp. Both sides are plain areas, and the Rao army has no cavalry, although there are only 30,000 cavalry on their side, it still seems that they have a greater advantage than the Rao army.
The Rao army does not have an advantage in a frontal battle, so if the Rao army forces the battle, the casualties during the charge will be extremely huge. It stands to reason that Rao's army should not be stupid enough to go to war directly with the Blues, unless Rao's army does not care about casualties during the engagement.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuanzhong then thought of a sentence he had said with other generals early in the morning, and it was easier to consider Rao Jun as a bandit. Based on this, what Lin Xuanzhong can think of is that if Rao Jun has any unexpected behavior, it is actually understandable, but what Rao Jun will do still needs to be considered.
Without a clue, Lin Xuanzhong thought of Leng Yi, the commander of the Rao army, an eighth-order martial cultivator who was not very old, and cultivated into an eighth-order martial cultivator at the age of less than forty. Leng Yi has such qualifications, which is enough to show that Leng Yi is by no means a stupid person.
Looking at the martial arts geniuses I have seen in the past, except for some people who are not experienced enough, no one can be called stupid, no matter how you look at it, Leng Yi's ability to command hundreds of thousands of personnel is enough to show Leng Yi's outstanding ability, but unfortunately about Leng Yi's personality, only the words of the spies are not good to consider from Leng Yi's point of view. After feeling more and more powerless to control the current situation, Lin Xuanzhong's inference about Rao Jun fell directly into trouble.
It's not that Lin Xuanzhong can't figure out anything, it's just that no matter what he thinks, he can't think about it deeply, time passes little by little, and in the end, because he thinks of Ruan Ming, Lin Xuanzhong can't think about it anymore.
It hasn't been long since he was separated from Ruan Ming, but there was always a feeling in his heart that he wanted to see Ruan Ming again, and that feeling was very urgent, so that Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but recall the scene when he first met Qinglan, and the familiar feeling made Lin Xuanzhong more and more sure that he really liked Ruan Ming. However, now that Ruan Ming should have rested and could not meet, Lin Xuanzhong could only try his best to stabilize his emotions.
After returning to the camp tent, lying on the bed tossing and turning and unable to sleep, the risk that Rao Jun might call could not suppress the lovesickness for Ruan Ming at all, and the feeling of excitement in his mind became more and more intense, stirring Lin Xuanzhong unable to sleep for a long time.
Early the next morning, the light that penetrated the military tent woke up Lin Xuanzhong, who had not yet slept well, and when he opened his eyes, his ears were full of noise. Suddenly remembering that the Rao army might call this morning, Lin Xuanzhong quickly turned over and put on his clothes and armor, and then walked straight to the direction of the Chinese army's big tent without even eating breakfast.
"General," when Lin Xuanzhong arrived, all the generals who were already waiting at the door greeted him in unison.
"En," nodded, and after passing through the crowd, Lin Xuanzhong walked directly to the military case and sat down.
"Report," said an agent who had just entered the front foot, followed by a secret agent, "General, before dawn, the enemy camp has been opened everywhere. ”
"Pass the order, the whole army is ready to fight, if the enemy army sends troops, our army will meet the battle ten miles away," the generals were still coming in one after another, and Lin Xuanzhong, who got the news, directly issued an order to Zhou Wenfeng. With a suit of armor, today's Lin Xuanzhong finally has a bit of the momentum of the main general.
"Yes," Zhou Wenfeng agreed, and immediately took the spy out.
"How long will it take for our army to be ready for battle?"
"In less than half an hour," Yang Shifeng, who was in charge of ordinary military affairs, immediately replied after walking to the position where he should be standing.
"Okay," nodded, Lin Xuanzhong turned to look at Dong Shaozhen and the others, "General Dong, a few of you stay and wait for orders, and the rest of the personnel will all go out to boost morale." "Rao's fight may have been very certain, and Lin Xuanzhong, who was in a hurry, only felt that their reaction was a little slow, and the Blues should have prepared earlier.
"Yes," the generals who had just walked to their respective positions agreed, and then walked out one after another.
"General, how many troops did our army fight today?"
"Wait for the news first," the sky is bright, it is impossible to use the winged bird to survey the movement of the Rao army, and it is not yet known how many troops the Rao army will send, but no matter how many troops the Rao army sends, Lin Xuanzhong will arrange for some people to stay in the camp.
"Report," those generals had just left, and in the blink of an eye, another spy came in, "General Yu, tens of thousands of people in the Rao army have left the camp, and the news is still being determined." ”
"Okay," Rao Jun really intends to compete with the Blue Army, and now that he has sent troops, Lin Xuanzhong's mood of preparing for war can be set.
"General Dong, you and General Shi will go out to check the troop dispatch together, and no mistakes are allowed before sending troops," Rao's army will definitely not return empty-handed when he goes out to fight in advance, Lin Xuanzhong wants to see what confidence Rao's army has.
"Yes," Dong Shaozhen and Shi Jiangchuan agreed, and then each took two of their subordinates and left. In the blink of an eye, there were less than ten generals left in the big tent. The big battle was imminent, and those generals were a little nervous like Lin Xuanzhong, of course, more excited.
The Rao army does have more troops than the blue army at present, but it is not dominant in morale, and the blue army has no need to be afraid of the Rao army at all, so those generals are nervous, but they all want to give those Rao troops a little color.
