Chapter 877: Gu Jun's Choice
After a stick of incense, Gu Jun, Hong Tianqi and others discussed the matter of returning to the Shunye Army in the later stage. According to some, the Emperor of the Valley abandoned the city and fled, and then did not establish contact with them, seemingly intending to pit them against three enemy forces in his territory. Gu Huang's move is suspected of using them to get out of danger, and in addition, in a sense, Gu Guo has already existed in name only.
Now Xingcheng has been occupied by the night army, although the Gu Huang sent a message that the Qingyuan power sent reinforcements, but the reinforcements do not seem to help the Gu Huang recapture Xingcheng, even if they break out of the siege all the way and join the Gu Huang, the reinforcements may not help them recover the country. Moreover, if they insist on resisting, the night army may not give them another chance to surrender when the time comes.
The odds of winning against the Night Army are getting smaller and smaller, and in the end, they become impossible. On the other hand, if it is to return to the night army, Zhang Jiutian of the night army before made it very clear to them that the night army will not treat the new army differently. Because of the previous fact that the Wing Kingdom, the Flying Kingdom, and the Yang Kingdom were all under the command of Lin Xuanzhong, they all knew very well that there was such a precedent, and it was unlikely that the Night Army would deceive them, so on the premise of not going to war with the Night Army, what they had to face was just a choice question.
Surrender to the Night Army, or surrender to the Night Army and leave as a civilian, after Hong Tianqi discussed with those commanders, they finally decided to give all a chance to choose. Anyone in the whole army can choose to surrender to the night army or surrender and leave, but they cannot choose to resist.
It took them more than half an hour and put forward many possibilities, but the final result was still to follow the choices given by the Night Army. To put it simply, this meeting did nothing except make them realize their own situation and how clever Lin Xuanzhong's strategy was.
A quarter of an hour later, under the Star Chasing City, the 180,000 Gu army gathered, Hong Tianqi had already told Zhang Jiutian and all the Gu army officers and soldiers the results of their discussion, and now the 180,000 Gu army had to choose to return or leave in front of the night army.
From the above general's first statement, the Gu army gradually divided into two parts, one part returned to the night army, and the other disarmed and left. With the passage of time, there are more and more people in the Guishun Night Army, and fewer and fewer people leave as civilians, intuitively Lin Xuanzhong is more popular than Gu Huang. Of course, the night army doesn't care about the number of people left, only whether the people who stay behind will rebel against them in the future.
In less than half an hour, 180,000 ordinary soldiers all made a choice, and in the end, two-thirds of them chose to return to the night army and be loyal to the night country in the future; one-third chose to leave to serve the country, and the armor and weapons of the more than 60,000 people were piled up in several piles, and the scene was spectacular. After all the ordinary soldiers made their choices, it was finally the turn of the top of the Gu Army, Hong Tianqi and those main generals.
In the face of Lin Xuanzhong, Zhang Jiutian and others, more than ten people turned pale, because the choice of other soldiers was nothing more than telling them that it was the night army that really won the hearts of the people, and they were impressed by Lin Xuanzhong's personal charm, but this result still made them unacceptable.
"Marshal," those uncertain generals naturally looked at Hong Tianqi at the critical moment, hoping that Hong Tianqi could help them get an idea.
"You just have to do it with confidence, as long as you won't regret it in the future," with a secret sigh, Hong Tianqi glanced at his subordinates weakly, helplessly thinking that the general trend of the Gu country had gone.
has been the commander of the Gu army for such a long time, but he can't compare to an enemy general at a critical moment, Hong Tianqi doesn't feel good in his heart. After looking at Lin Xuanzhong, who was not far from them, still with a calm face, Hong Tianqi couldn't help but think that if he chose to attack the city at the beginning, they would be defeated in the end.
At the same time, meeting Hong Tianqi's gaze, Lin Xuanzhong's heart was full of emotion, the difficult choices those people had to make were the same as the difficult choices that Lin Xuanzhong would have to make in the future, so at the critical moment, Lin Xuanzhong had already looked out of place.
It didn't take long for a group of Gu army masters to make choices one after another, more than two-thirds of them chose to follow Lin Xuanzhong, the young man who was extraordinary in their eyes, and less than one-third of them, some were extremely angry, some were depressed, in short, they were disarmed according to the current regulations, and in the end, only one Hong Tianqi was left who had not yet expressed his position.
Under everyone's attention, Hong Tianqi walked to the ranks of those who did not want to return to the night army with a lonely face. No matter what the reason, a commander falling into such a situation can only mean that he is not suitable for leading the army, Hong Tianqi felt that he was no longer worthy of leading the soldiers below, so he chose to leave, and he would not enter the army again in the future.
"General, it's okay over there," the sun made people a little hot, and after waiting under the city for so long, seeing that the last person on the other side had made a choice, Zhang Jiutian immediately reminded Lin Xuanzhong, who was in a trance.
"Marshal Hong, please take care of yourself," not long after, Lin Xuanzhong walked in front of Hong Tianqi and the others with a group of generals. Because the distance was too close, Lin Xuanzhong's sixth-order martial arts aura was directly displayed in front of those people's eyes, making some of the generals behind Hong Tianqi feel restless, and one after another thought that as long as they took Lin Xuanzhong, they would be able to change the current situation, but when some people wanted to make a move, Hong Tianqi released a trace of breath to tell them not to act rashly.
Hong Tianqi's move was not only because he thought of the follow-up problems that would be caused if those people couldn't succeed once, but also because of Lin Xuanzhong's calm and calm appearance at the moment. In the face of so many high-level martial cultivators, Lin Xuanzhong's face did not change in the slightest, Lin Xuanzhong's courage was amazing, and one thing was for sure that Lin Xuanzhong must not be deliberately holding up.
Due to Hong Tianqi's timely reminder, those who were about to make a move when they realized that Lin Xuanzhong was not an ordinary sixth-order martial cultivator, and that the number of high-level martial cultivators who died in Lin Xuanzhong's hands was already immeasurable, and they all thought in fear that if they had made a rash move just now, they might all have died.
When they were afraid of the idea just now, those people noticed that the generals behind Lin Xuanzhong were already wary of them, thinking that the chance of success was smaller now than just now, and those people didn't dare to have any ideas.
However, although those people were stopped by Hong Tianqi in time just now, the scene was still because they became nervous, but Lin Xuanzhong's face was still as calm as water, as if he didn't take those people's intentions to heart at all.
"General Lin's previous promise counts?" Seeing that there was no dissatisfaction on Lin Xuanzhong's face, Hong Tianqi also spoke calmly.
"Naturally, please ask the marshal to take someone away immediately," nodded, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to say anything more to the other party, as long as the other party did what he did, Lin Xuanzhong would never break his word.
"Let's go," Lin Xuanzhong confirmed, Hong Tianqi briefly explained to the generals behind him, and asked them to divide them into east and west sides according to the origin of the soldiers and take everyone away. When those generals went to take charge of this matter, Hong Tianqi looked at the back of Lin Xuanzhong leaving, and thought with some emotion that although he didn't know much about Lin Xuanzhong, just such a simple meeting was enough to reflect Lin Xuanzhong's brightness, and it was very likely that they would leave smoothly today.
After some time, the generals passed on Hong Tianqi's instructions, so some of the more than 60,000 people went directly to the west, and the other part returned to the same place, and then went from the east again. After disarming, the separated 60,000 Valley Army did not look any surprises.
"General, do you want to send someone to surround and kill them?" After more than 60,000 people left, standing in front of the city gate, thinking of what some people wanted to be unfavorable to Lin Xuanzhong just now, Yang Shifeng directly asked Lin Xuanzhong for instructions, and the next time, all the other generals looked over, and it seemed that many people had the same idea as Yang Shifeng.
"I'm going to go to you alone," shaking his head, Lin Xuanzhong only glanced at Yang Shifeng lightly as he replied to Ruan Yi and the others that night.
"This ......" Yang Shifeng's face froze, and he was suddenly embarrassed when he thought that he was going alone and sending him to death, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, Lin Xuanzhong's reply was more difficult to accept than directly saying that he should not do much, but he stayed in place for a long time, and Yang Shifeng didn't think of what to say to alleviate the embarrassment. On the other side, Lin Xuanzhong had already brought people to meet with his new subordinates.
"Since everyone has decided to return to the Night Country, they will follow the general in the future, so they must first understand the military regulations in the army, under the military law, they will be treated equally, no matter who it is, the general hopes that after joining the night army, he can act according to the law," looked at the generals of the Gu Army in front of him, and Lin Xuanzhong continued: "If someone changes their mind, they can leave now, and they will not stop them." ”
In the past time, those soldiers had relined according to the order, and at this moment, standing at the front of the line, Lin Xuanzhong spread his voice to every corner.
"I will follow General Lin to the death, and I have no dissent," and then under the leadership of some former Gu Army generals, more than 120,000 people shouted in an untidy manner, and the momentum was not loud, but Lin Xuanzhong knew very well that the people who could shout now were unlikely to betray the Night Army in the future. However, the number of 120,000 people is too large to be incorporated into the night army for the time being, and Lin Xuanzhong plans to wait for Bai Shuilian and Fang Quyin to converge before making a full arrangement.
On the other hand, they want to capture the Valley Country as soon as possible, so as to give the new army a name, and they cannot let the new army carry the infamy of treason all the time.
"All the soldiers are resting in place and waiting for the reorganization," After the 120,000 soldiers all expressed their positions, Zhang Jiutian commanded loudly according to Lin Xuanzhong's instructions. Since they currently have only 30,000 men, and now they have to control a new army of 120,000 people, they still have a lot to do.
"General Zhang, the next things will be left to you and General Zhou, and they will go back first," he turned around and ordered Zhang Jiutian and the others, and then Lin Xuanzhong turned to look at those Gu army generals, "Generals, let's go into the city with me to rest first." ”
