Chapter 878: Lei Jun Asks for Food
There are a lot of generals in the Gu army, and those main generals have a deep aura, and having them may cause trouble for Zhang Jiutian and others to form a new army in the future, so Lin Xuanzhong plans to take them away, of course, this is also one of their plans.
"Yes," On the other side, those high-level Gu Army leaders were originally thinking about how Lin Xuanzhong would organize the new army, in their opinion, the Night Army was not capable of completing this matter at all, because the risk was far beyond the scope of the Night Army's bearing, and some people even had some ideas about this, but as soon as Lin Xuanzhong said this, they didn't have any ideas one by one.
As long as Lin Xuanzhong takes them away, the soldiers below are leaderless, and it is not difficult to think that even if they have a chance to defeat the Night Army, I am afraid that no one will dare to make a bird, and now they must go with Lin Xuanzhong.
Lin Xuanzhong's lethal move was amazing, and when he thought about the cleverness of Lin Xuanzhong's move, those generals' impression of Lin Xuanzhong changed greatly, and no one felt that there was anything wrong with the Night Army's approach.
"General, go slowly," when the generals of the Gu Army were shocked by the cleverness of Lin Xuanzhong, Zhang Jiutian and the others greeted Lin Xuanzhong, who had already left, and the shocked generals of the Gu Army reacted one after another, and then strode forward to follow Lin Xuanzhong one by one.
"Let's start," and when those Gu army generals followed Lin Xuanzhong and left, and greeted the others, Zhang Jiutian's attention quickly shifted to the embarrassed Gu army. Although Lin Xuanzhong had taken most of the important leaders of the Gu Army away, the formation of the Gu Army was still terrifying. If a large number of Gu troops rebelled next, no one could imagine the situation at that time, and Zhang Jiutian was most worried about this problem.
Thinking of the fact that the Gu Army had a large number of personnel and was not easy to control, Zhang Jiutian even felt that it might be a mistake to merge only a part of the Gu Army into the 30,000 Night Army, but the problem was that they had no better way to make the Gu Army available to them as soon as possible.
If the two armies were only separated, it would be more difficult for the 120,000 Gu Army to control as a whole, so if they wanted to really swallow the Gu Army, they could only chew slowly while waiting for the other two night armies to come and support.
Fortunately, Lin Xuanzhong's taking away the high-level of the Gu Army played a role, and the establishment of the Gu Army went smoothly, and at night, the 120,000 Gu Army was all completed, and more than 30,000 people were directly placed in the Night Army, and the other 90,000 people are currently forming a new army alone. Next, the night army will be stationed here, and while the new army is running-in, while waiting for the other two night armies to come and converge.
During the garrison, the night army also had to investigate the movements of the Gu Emperor and confirm the situation in various parts of the valley country, so as to plan for the follow-up.
Unconsciously, two days have passed, and due to the reputation of treason, the 120,000 Gu Army is not very comfortable from top to bottom, and many people have regrets, just like the 20,000 Wing Army who took the initiative to defect to the Night Country, but unlike the Wing Army, because there are many people, it is more difficult for them to have a good relationship with the Night Army, which makes their situation even more embarrassing.
The Night Army didn't bully them, but it didn't make them feel comfortable either, and they were still at odds with the Night Army, as if they could be completely separated at any moment.
On the other hand, it is precisely because of this situation that those night soldiers are also having a hard time. For some people, instead of being vigilant and tolerating Gu Jun everywhere, it is better to have a good fight with Gu Jun before, and annexing Gu Jun is simply asking for trouble. Although their trust in Lin Xuanzhong has reached the level of regarding Lin Xuanzhong as a faith, because of the current problems in the army, some people still doubt that Lin Xuanzhong's strategy is right or wrong.
In the eyes of those people, maybe Lin Xuanzhong's starting point was correct at first, but it was too difficult to swallow the 120,000 Gu Army with his current strength, so many people had been talking about this matter for the past two days.
When a general reported to Lin Xuanzhong that the situation in the army was not optimistic, Lin Xuanzhong's reply was to ask them to find Zhang Jiutian, and the problems in the army were exactly the opportunity that Zhang Jiutian needed. If Zhang Jiutian can subdue the 120,000 Gu army, Zhang Jiutian's status in the army will inevitably change, this is Lin Xuanzhong's idea.
However, the problems in the army are far more than these, in two days, Bai Shuilian and Fang Quyin have not yet arrived with their troops, and the 300,000 troops of the Lei Kingdom have already caught up. After learning that all the materials that the Gu army had brought were rejected by the 30,000 Night Army, the top leaders of the Lei Army were not very happy, and had already sent someone to inform Lin Xuanzhong to hand over all the materials, otherwise they would seek revenge against the Gu Army.
When he was in the Night Country, it was precisely because of the distribution of the spoils that Lei Jun and the Night Army were unhappy, and now similar problems seem to have appeared again, although the person who negotiated with Lei Jun was not Bai Shuilian, but this time Lei Jun was huge. Counting the 120,000 Gu army, the current night army is only 150,000, but because the Gu army has not been completely subdued, the actual strength of the night army is less than 150,000.
Now the 120,000 Gu Army is the reason why the Lei Army asked Lin Xuanzhong to hand over all the spoils, maybe the top leaders of the Lei Army did not think about subduing the Gu Army before, but now Lin Xuanzhong has 30,000 men to subdue so many Gu Army with the strength of all parties, and their mood is a little uncomfortable, so not long after camping outside the city, the commander of the Lei Army sent a message to the Night Army.
Lei Jun was very strong, because the person who led the troops was a commander, not only his status was higher than Lin Xuanzhong, but more importantly, they had a large number of personnel, so many that they could overwhelm people, after Lei Jun's requirements spread in the city, the generals who were originally worried about the difficulty of integrating the new army into the night army immediately boiled, how could they have thought that Lei Guo and Ye Guo had become a family, but Lei Jun would make such excessive requests, but unfortunately what they didn't expect happened.
For this reason, Zhang Jiutian immediately held an emergency meeting with other generals, Lei Jun gave them not much time, only one night, if they could not discuss countermeasures tonight, after dawn, in order to protect the life safety of the new army, they could only hand over all the materials they had obtained before. At the beginning of the meeting, except for Lin Xuanzhong, including several main generals of the former Gu Army, almost all the high-ranking members of the Night Army were present.
Those Gu army lords will return to the night country has a strong will, after being invited to the city by Lin Xuanzhong that day, in the past two days, some people have taken the initiative to give advice to Zhang Jiutian for the new army's difficulty in getting along with the night army, and now after learning that the Lei army wants to rob them of their grain and grass and other materials, they are naturally unwilling when they know the importance of grain and grass to them.
At the meeting, the generals expressed their opinions, and after everyone expressed their opinions, Zhang Jiutian came to a conclusion, most of them completely disagreed with Lei Jun's request, and a small number of people reluctantly agreed, but they only planned to hand over a part of the materials, and the amount was not more than half. As for the results of the preliminary discussion, all the generals realized that it was a little unrealistic, and Lei Jun would definitely not accept their refusal, so they had to discuss how to make Lei Jun accept.
If it is simply to convince people with reason, why should they hand over what they have obtained with their ability, it will only cause Lei Jun's dissatisfaction. If it is used strongly, once it provokes the Lei Army, it will not be beneficial to the Night Country, and now it is a critical stage of the Five Nations Alliance, and it is obviously not a good choice to destroy the relationship between the two countries, so in the end, everyone wants to negotiate a method that can not only make the Lei Army accept, but also allow them to leave most of the supplies.
On this issue, the generals expressed their opinions again, but in the end, no one could come up with an effective solution, and it seemed that it would be difficult to keep most of the supplies, so everyone considered handing over half of the supplies. Not long after, someone proposed to hand over the surplus weapons and some chariots and horses, and keep most of the grain and grass, which might be acceptable to Lei Jun.
But this is also a loss-making business, as soon as I think that Lei Jun will not blow his heart, he can get half of the supplies, and many generals are not happy, and the time to finally test Zhang Jiutian has come, about this matter, Zhang Jiutian must make an idea as soon as possible.
"Tomorrow morning, Lei Jun will come over to ask for food, if you think of any way to say it directly, it doesn't matter?" Glancing at the generals in front of him, seeing that they all seemed to have lost their minds, Zhang Jiutian had a feeling that it was unexpected, the current problem was too difficult for everyone, and the methods that ordinary people could think of could not solve their problems at all, unless they used strange strategies like Lin Xuanzhong. Speaking of which, Zhang Jiutian really has some special ideas, but before he says his thoughts, Zhang Jiutian also wants to give these generals a chance to perform one last time.
"Although we have been discussing for half an hour, we have no clue, why don't we ask General Lin if he has any opinions?" At the critical moment, Yang Shifeng thought of Lin Xuanzhong again, because Lin Xuanzhong has always been good at making strange plans.
"I'm afraid the general won't help, otherwise he wouldn't have refused to attend the meeting before," Zhang Jiutian shook his head, not thinking that Yang Shifeng's proposal was feasible at all.
"That's what you said, I don't know if General Zhang has any good plans?" Yang Shifeng nodded, and then looked at Zhang Jiutian helplessly, wanting to see if Zhang Jiutian, who was still calm, had any ideas.
"According to the general's opinion, if we directly reject the Lei army, the commander of the Lei army will definitely come to trouble the general, and if it affects the friendship between the two countries, the general is likely to be held accountable by the king," under the attention of everyone, Zhang Jiutian continued: "If all the materials are handed over, the remaining grain and grass are not enough to feed the army, not only will we not agree, but the general will not agree either, so the general feels that the key is to give the right amount of materials." ”
Zhang Jiutian did not rush to say specific methods, but summarized the results of their discussion just now under the attention of the generals, and said directly to the hearts of the generals in a pertinent tone. Speaking of which, because of Lei Jun's tough attitude, all the generals are ready to hand over some of the supplies, but no matter what, they can't affect themselves because of the grain and grass problem.
