Chapter 947: Overnight Consideration

Morale before and during the war is crucial to determining victory or defeat, and to ensure that morale is strong, in addition to the high-level speech before the war, it is necessary to have a clear strategic plan and the deployment of troops in wartime. Although the problem of the puppet army has not been solved, it is not difficult to boost morale from the overall situation.

Before boosting the overall morale, the next thing to do is to erase the impact of the existence of the puppet army on the army. Following Ruan Ming's prompt, after ignoring other people's thoughts, Lin Xuanzhong came to a conclusion that should have been settled a long time ago. Regardless of whether the puppet army has other intentions or not, the Blue Army will accept them and organize them into a new army.

If they don't defect on the battlefield, they will all be their own people in the future. If they choose to betray the Blue Army on the battlefield, then after the war begins, the two sides will form an irreversible hostile relationship, no matter what the situation is, now Lin Xuanzhong wants to give those 20,000 puppet troops a chance.

As for the price of providing opportunities for those people with his own strength, Lin Xuanzhong had already thought about it clearly, and as before, Lin Xuanzhong was willing to bear all the consequences. When Lin Xuanzhong felt that he could bear all the consequences, Lin Xuanzhong's will finally stopped wavering, and the issue of the puppet army could move to the next stage.

Since the first step has decided to give the puppet army a chance, then Lin Xuanzhong will no longer consider the puppet army as an outsider, and will not consider ensuring the stability of the blue army at the cost of harming the interests of the puppet army, so Lin Xuanzhong can't accept the deal proposed by Rao Jun before, but he can't refuse either, Lin Xuanzhong has to find a way to rescue the prisoners without handing over the puppet army. If there is really no way, then you can only choose one or the other.

Maybe the choice to be made next is not considered by others, but compared to the overall situation, Lin Xuanzhong feels that it is acceptable. When they were trapped between Sword City and the Lockdown City, in order to ensure the victory, they could even give up the lives of those family members, and now in order to ensure the overall situation, Lin Xuanzhong plans to make some sacrifices, maybe it will be a little cruel, but there are not many choices that can be made.

After thinking about the deal, Lin Xuanzhong thought about the various effects that would be caused by forcibly keeping the puppet army in the army. As for the solutions to various problems, Ruan Ming has already said that as long as you start from your own point of view, all problems will be solved. After understanding exactly what Ruan Ming wanted to express, Lin Xuanzhong had already made up his mind that even if he made a wrong decision, he would make it.

Under that absolute will, the influence of the 20,000 puppet army on Lin Xuanzhong's consideration of the overall situation became smaller and smaller, and finally became a part and was no longer the main problem. After thinking about the preparation of the puppet army, the next thing to consider is the war with the Rao army.

In the past, Rao's army used formations to win them, and if nothing else, Rao's army should use a more powerful formation in the decisive battle, and once Rao's army used the formation to gain an advantage, the outcome would become unpredictable.

Waiting for the main force of the Rao army to come, the strength of the Rao army will far exceed that of the blue army, and then the Rao army is very likely to choose the main attack, and the formation used for the attack is recorded in the book of soldiers, as for which one the Rao army will use, Lin Xuanzhong does not dare to infer at will, so like dealing with the problem of the puppet army, Lin Xuanzhong has to consider a countermeasure that can deal with any formation of the Rao army.

Since he didn't know much about the formation, Lin Xuanzhong could only consider the strength of the Rao army, but fortunately, their information was accurate. The Rao army only has one more heavy shield soldier than the blue army, and the other troops are only different in numbers. Neither cavalry nor infantry have an advantage against those heavy shieldmen, but those heavy shields move slowly, and as long as they can create a little chaos and make them mess up, it should not be difficult to break the heavy shields. As for the specific method, Lin Xuanzhong planned to wait for Bai Shuilian to come and discuss it.

After roughly considering the tactics against Rao Jun, Lin Xuanzhong then thought about whether to return to Beiling, and the answer was yes. And before going back, Lin Xuanzhong will try his best to improve his strength and ability. In addition, he will continue to investigate the situation on the Beiling side, and when the battle with the Rao army is over, Lin Xuanzhong will ask Hong Yu to send more people to investigate the specific news.

The mind of going back was settled, and Lin Xuanzhong's attention returned to the military again. A sense of control over the overall situation is constantly becoming stronger, and Lin Xuanzhong's thinking is no longer scattered, and gradually forms a whole.

After the battle situation with Rao Jun became clearer and clearer in his mind, the will to control the overall situation became stronger and stronger, and the original pressure seemed to have turned into motivation, and Lin Xuanzhong's will continued to increase.

Time passed little by little, and after a quarter of an hour, the problems that had accumulated for many days were all figured out by Lin Xuanzhong at one time, and it didn't take long before and after. When Lin Xuanzhong looked at the beating light again, the dim flame looked extremely clear.

Thinking back to the things he had just considered, Lin Xuanzhong's tense nerves finally relaxed. As time passed, the mood became more and more relaxed. After lying on the bed again, even if he still didn't feel sleepy because of excitement, Lin Xuanzhong no longer bothered about all the things before. Closing his eyes and feeling the pleasant silence around him, Lin Xuanzhong soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the guards outside woke up Lin Xuanzhong, saying that they wanted him to deal with matters related to the puppet army as soon as possible.

The afternoon is the so-called trading time, and Lin Xuanzhong, who did not give an explanation yesterday, really wants to give an explanation to those generals this morning.

The generals below should have been waiting in a hurry, but Lin Xuanzhong still went to see them after having breakfast.

Because of the transaction, this morning's meeting seemed to be more formal than usual, and all the important generals of the battalions had arrived, standing outside the big tent in twos and threes, not knowing what they were discussing. When Lin Xuanzhong arrived, all the personnel turned to look at Lin Xuanzhong, and there was some surprise in their eyes. Because Lin Xuanzhong, who was walking towards them, was a little different from before, and his high-spirited appearance looked like a different person. When they noticed Lin Xuanzhong's bright gaze, they were even more surprised.

"Everyone, please," after greeting with a smile, Lin Xuanzhong walked directly into the big tent from among the generals. After figuring out many things last night, Lin Xuanzhong's temperament changed greatly.

"Yes," After a period of accidents, the generals below agreed one after another, and then hurried to follow Lin Xuanzhong one by one.

"What is the latest news report from the council this morning?" Sitting in front of the military case, looking at the neatly lined up generals below, Lin Xuanzhong asked very casually.

"General, the marshal will arrive this afternoon with his troops, and the garrison area for 150,000 soldiers has been arranged. ”

"The main force of the Rao army also arrived today. ”

"Marshal Zhao has news from us that the south is going to synchronize the war with us, so I hope we will start a war with the Rao army as soon as possible. ”

According to the category of information, the generals of the three different departments reported the latest news to Lin Xuanzhong in turn.

"What is the situation in the puppet military barracks?" The news reported by the three people below is normal news, nodding, Lin Xuanzhong, who didn't think much about it, took the initiative to ask specific questions.

"The mood of the puppet army is stable for the time being, and there is nothing dissatisfying about us, but the overall morale is very low, and they seem to be worried about their situation. If we don't start a war with the Rao army as soon as possible, the puppet army may be dragged down in advance," After a pause, Dong Shaozhen continued: "In the past two days, our people have provided them with food and drink, and increased a lot of physical labor, and the soldiers below have become more and more dissatisfied with this. ”

Dong Shaozhen briefly talked about the situation of the puppet army, and then said that a puppet army has a direct impact on the army, and it sounds like the soldiers who are responsible for providing food and drink to the puppet army are already very dissatisfied.

Compared with those soldiers who were not directly affected by the puppet army, Lin Xuanzhong's mood was understandable, so Lin Xuanzhong planned to lighten the burden on them.

"At the end of the morning meeting, the food and grass assigned to the puppet army for three days, and then give them some cars to fetch water, so that they can be self-sufficient," making the puppet army's food independent is the result of Lin Xuanzhong's consideration last night, first, it can reduce the labor force of some blue troops, and second, it can be used as a prerequisite for the integration of the puppet army.

"General, is it risky to let the puppet army eat independently?" When Lin Xuanzhong's order was issued, the generals looked stunned. The puppet army did cause them a lot of trouble, but they felt a little embarrassed to do what Lin Xuanzhong had instructed them to do.

"Ben General has decided to take in those puppet armies, if you don't have a better opinion, then do as Ben General instructs. ”

"But we haven't proved whether the puppet army is credible," At this time, some people still want to say that the intentions of the puppet army are suspicious, just because they can't produce substantial evidence, and the tone is not very firm.

"It's nothing good, even if there are another 20,000 puppet troops, the general's attitude will still not change. ”

"I wonder what the general plans to do with the deal?"

"General Dong, a few of you will follow the general to the puppet military camp area, and then you will be free to make a decision," after Lian Lian signaled to several generals with his eyes, Lin Xuanzhong looked at the other generals again, "No matter what, this general will definitely solve this matter today." ”

The kind of performance that no longer frowned and spoke cleanly made everyone more sure that Lin Xuanzhong was very different from the past, and a kind of leadership charm could not be concealed from Lin Xuanzhong. In a blink of an eye, all the generals in the big tent felt that Lin Xuanzhong, who was sitting in front of the military case, was really a leader.

"Yes," the generals agreed, surprised. Originally, they had a lot of problems, but Lin Xuanzhong's words solved all their problems. Regardless of whether Lin Xuanzhong's decision was correct or not, they all felt a lot easier.
