Chapter 944: Problems in the Army
After letting those generals briefly talk about the current situation in the army, Lin Xuanzhong arranged some things for some people. In a blink of an eye, all the generals in the big tent had already understood about the puppet army, and Lin Xuanzhong had not yet made a decision. They couldn't urge Lin Xuanzhong, so they could only return to their respective camps to appease the army according to Lin Xuanzhong's wishes.
After those generals left, while it was not too hot now, Lin Xuanzhong planned to go to some camps that he had not been to yesterday, and there were several generals with him.
While observing the military situation, while chatting with other people about the problems in the army, until the last time, Lin Xuanzhong was not in a hurry to make any decisions.
At the same time, Zhao Wu, who was hundreds of miles away, had already led his army to garrison a place thirty miles away from the Rao army's camp, and Zhao Wu was currently considering whether to go to war in advance or synchronize with the war in the north.
After the Blue Army was stationed, everything was as usual on Rao's side, without any obvious signs of response, as if some conspiracy was brewing.
The situation of the Rao army was expected by the Blue Army, and after two days of calculation, the Blue Army was more complete in the plan of attacking the Rao Army than when the troops were dispatched. As long as he rested for a while, Zhao Wu could directly order an attack. And the reason why he didn't rush to start a war with the Rao army was because considering the situation of the war in the north, Zhao Wu was worried that the early end of the war in the south would affect the war in the north, so he had a plan to synchronize the battle time.
Of course, Zhao Wu was not only concerned about the war in the north, but also in the southwest, an army led by Xu Bufan in the southwest had many frictions with the army of the anti-Luo alliance. Because the enemy army over there was large, Xu Bufan didn't get any benefits in several battles, and Xu Bufan needed support. However, several armies were in a border position, and Zhao Wu couldn't expect Lan Ce to send another army over in a short period of time, so Zhao Wu always hoped that Luo Tianguo could put pressure on the anti-Luo alliance to help them ease the military situation.
If Luo Tianguo is unmoved, the next war in the Blue Country will be concentrated on the western border, but it is not meaningful to fight with the bandit army all the time. Now that the situation on Luo Tian's side is unknown, Zhao Wu also hopes that Xu Bufan can try his best to hold the front, at least until the weather problem can cause the two sides to stop fighting.
In any case, the Blue Army is indeed much stronger than before, but unfortunately the situation facing the Blue Army has not improved. If we are now complacent about the creation of the Blue Nation, we will not have much to go for the Blues. In addition, when the Blue Kingdom was first established, Lan Ce's rule over all parties was not stable, and those former lords of the dynasty may still be nostalgic for the previous throne. Compared with external troubles, Lan Guo's internal worries are no worse at all, but unfortunately Zhao Wu is only a military general. It is necessary to be busy stabilizing the borders, and as for stabilizing the internal affairs of the country, it can only be left to those civil servants.
In the face of the current situation, even Zhao Wu, who has been crowned king, is still insignificant, and the so-called title is just a title, and nothing has changed. I don't know when the war situation related to the entire Northern Region will be stabilized, Zhao Wu personally doesn't want the war to continue, because this is a matter that is not beneficial to the vast majority of people. Speaking of which, to this day, Zhao Wu doesn't understand what kind of force is driving the situation in the entire Northern Regions, involving countless people in the war.
Putting aside the situation in the south, after communicating with those generals, Lin Xuanzhong became more aware of the problems in the army that needed his attention. When considering the problem according to the opinions of those generals, everything is on the level of neither good nor bad, and there is nothing to be desired in the end.
When Lin Xuanzhong was busy with military affairs, many people in the north of Shanhaiguan were chanting Lin Xuanzhong's name. Among them were the members of Shi Pan's team, and when Lin Xuanzhong's deeds reached there, the word "Lin Xuanzhong" kept coming to their minds, which was an unforgettable name for them.
After thinking of Lin Xuanzhong's voice and appearance, they asked around about Lin Xuanzhong, just to prove whether the rumored Lin Xuanzhong was someone they knew.
Of course, it is not only those people who pay attention to Lin Xuanzhong, but also the group of people who Lin Xuanzhong is familiar with, such as the Red Tears and Red Medicine Sisters, who also care about whether the rumored Lin Xuanzhong is someone they know.
In a blink of an eye, almost two years have passed, but Lin Xuanzhong's name has not dissipated with the passage of time in the hearts of those people, but has deepened their memories because of the change of time.
At the beginning, there was a beast tide in Beiling because of the Black Jiao Crossing Tribulation, but those people were on their way to the city that never sleeps, so they were not affected by the beast tide. It's just that when they go back, all the places they knew have changed. In the long North Ridge, there are dozens of cities facing the tide of beasts, and the cities are destroyed and people are killed. After the beast tide, the cities were damaged, and there were traces of fierce beasts everywhere.
In the later stages of the beast tide, the beasts traveled faster, and no longer just for escape, but also for eating, and the more resistant, the more severely damaged the place, and now the North Ridge is no longer what it used to be.
Now the beast tide has long passed, but it will take at least a few decades for the surviving cities of the North Ridge to return to their former state, and it is a pity that they have no chance of peaceful development. The war in the Northern Regions was also raging, and the two principalities had at first only tacitly annexed the small states around them, but now the North Ridge had become a place for the two principalities to compete with.
Before the armies of the two principalities arrived, the first thing North Ridge suffered was the impact of bandits, because of the beast tide, a large number of homeless people chose to join the bandit organization, and the desolate wolf organization expanded infinitely, and now it is called the legion, you can imagine how great the overall strength is. Now that the pattern of Beiling is extremely chaotic, there is no longer a so-called family industry, and the huge change in the situation has forced Lin Wuwu to take the people of the Lin family to a safer place, that is, the territory of the Dayou Principality.
The relocation of the Lin family made Lin Xuanzhong's journey home farther, but fortunately, Lin Xuanzhong had no plans to go home, he just wanted to meet some people and want to know something.
Because of the war in the Beiling area, there are naturally people in the Dayou Principality who are paying attention to the situation on the Beiling side, so rumors about Lin Xuanzhong have spread to the territory of the Dayou Principality and to the ears of Lin Wuwu, who has become the chief general of the three armies.
After verifying the information with the help of the army, Lin Wuwu informed the Lin family of the situation, regardless of whether the rumored Lin Xuanzhong was the same person as the Lin Xuanzhong they knew, this rumor brought hope to the people of the Lin family, so much so that some people were already planning to go to the south in person in order to confirm Lin Xuanzhong's identity.
In the past for so long, there has been no news of Lin Xuanzhong, in fact, many people think that Lin Xuanzhong has died a long time ago, but when the same name appears, no one doesn't want it to be the Lin Xuanzhong they know. During these days, many people look to the far south from time to time, reminiscing about a person they once knew.
If Lin Xuanzhong knew that there were so many people thinking about him, he might be more eager to end the war with the Rao army. Unconsciously, it was night again, and throughout the day, Lin Xuanzhong was patrolling around the barracks or finding a place to sit and rest, and even sometimes he would talk to people, almost all kinds of methods that could be used to appease the morale of the army Lin Xuanzhong tried, but in the end, Lin Xuanzhong felt that he had found nothing.
Not only did I not think of a solution to the problems in the army, but I couldn't even calm myself down, because the passage of time became more and more impatient. Although the generals below did not say it explicitly, their faces were not very good-looking, and Lin Xuanzhong knew that his silence had brought them a lot of pressure. Of course, some of the pressure is not on the puppet army, but also on each other.
Originally, the direct generals of the Blue Army, as well as Yang Shifeng and others, had no objection to any of Lin Xuanzhong's actions, at most they were anxious to wait for Lin Xuanzhong's reply, but those Gu Army generals and some new army generals were obviously a little restless. On the one hand, they are not familiar with Lin Xuanzhong, and on the other hand, it is based on the pressing issues of the moment. Bai Shuilian is not there, they regard Lin Xuanzhong as the leader of the army, but Lin Xuanzhong's performance is not satisfactory, after all, there are many people in the army now, and there are naturally many ideas.
Some people just get together and talk about it, and the problems become even more. Speaking of which, in the past few days, those generals of the New Army have been discussing Lin Xuanzhong in private, and various opinions show that they do not fully agree with Lin Xuanzhong.
In the eyes of some people, Lin Xuanzhong's appearance time is more than before, but under various pressures, Lin Xuanzhong's momentum is weaker than before. Lin Xuanzhong's unsatisfactory performance recently made many people doubt Lin Xuanzhong's ability, after all, Lin Xuanzhong is too young, and he was not born in the military world, they can't blindly trust Lin Xuanzhong because of Lin Xuanzhong's past achievements, after all, now is really the time to test Lin Xuanzhong's ability, so the silence of some generals seems very meaningful.
The taciturn of the people below caused a lot of psychological pressure on Lin Xuanzhong, after all, there were only a limited number of people who were completely convinced of Lin Xuanzhong, and Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but consider the thoughts of some generals of the new army, and the more he cared, the greater the impact on himself. Tomorrow afternoon is the time to make a deal with Rao's army, and if they refuse to trade, it means that they will fully accept the puppet army.
If it can be proved that the puppet army is sincere in joining them, such a result is not bad. If they still have doubts about the puppet army, then they are likely to ask for trouble, and now Zhou Wenfeng and they have lobbied those local forces, and all kinds of problems make Lin Xuanzhong not know where to think.
Time passed little by little, the cool weather at night quieted the soldiers who had suffered during the day, the noise in the camp gradually disappeared, and the surroundings became more and more quiet, Lin Xuanzhong sat alone in front of the military case, thinking about what the generals had said before.
