Chapter 872: Gu Huang escaped

"General," those people walked up to the high platform under countless envious gazes, saluted Lin Xuanzhong, and then stood away in turn according to Lin Xuanzhong's instructions.

"How many of you are guilty?" Seeing that all the people named had arrived, Lin Xuanzhong deliberately wanted everyone to listen, so he questioned a few people loudly.

"General, we?" Under Lin Xuanzhong's threat, several people who thought they were coming to greet the award suddenly looked stunned, and looked at Lin Xuanzhong with puzzled expressions.

"A few of you violated military regulations, indiscriminately killed civilians, robbed people's girls, and brought the captured women to the army, what else do you have to say?" Asking these general-level subordinates in person, Lin Xuanzhong had some pressure in his heart, so he couldn't look at them calmly, and the more he talked, the more anger in his eyes grew.

"General, we?" When Lin Xuanzhong directly said what they were wrong, those people's faces sank one by one, and they were a little worried about how Lin Xuanzhong would punish them.

"General, we just want to honor you, there is no crime," although he had already noticed the anger in Lin Xuanzhong's eyes, a person was thinking that Lin Xuanzhong would not punish them lightly if they let them come up in court, and he still forced himself to defend himself.

"You are not guilty, are you guilty?" As soon as Lin Xuanzhong said this, the momentum of the whole person directly became extremely powerful, and the invisible killing intent spread out quickly with Lin Xuanzhong as the center. In the case of uncontrollable emotions, Lin Xuanzhong even had a desire to kill people, of course, Lin Xuanzhong did not intend to kill these people.

"General, the last general is guilty," after Lin Xuanzhong's momentum changed, several people standing in front of him bore the brunt, and a general originally wanted to explain that the kidnapping of women was only to solve his own needs, but because Lin Xuanzhong's momentum made him frightened, that person didn't dare to say anything at all, and instead knelt down to Lin Xuanzhong for the first time to admit his mistake.

With him taking the lead, how dare the others hesitate, and quickly knelt down one by one, "I'll be convicted, please punish the general." ”

"A few of you have ignored military regulations and openly abducted ordinary women, which would have erased your achievements in this battle. If they make the same mistake again in the future, they will all be expelled from the army, "The people before the meeting all confessed their guilt, calmed down, and Lin Xuanzhong said the way he had thought of dealing with it earlier.

On the other side, those people were frightened by Lin Xuanzhong's momentum just now, and they thought that Lin Xuanzhong would punish them heavily, but the result was just to erase the credit of their recent battles, and while secretly breathing a sigh of relief, they also had a feeling of escaping death.

"Yes," one person took the lead, and the others agreed.

And just now, when Lin Xuanzhong's momentum changed significantly, Fang Quyin and the others under the high stage were shocked, they didn't understand why Lin Xuanzhong wanted to kill these meritorious people, although these people violated military regulations, but it was not a big deal, at least they should be given a chance to repent, but Lin Xuanzhong wanted to kill these people, which made them a little puzzled why Lin Xuanzhong, who had always gotten along well with soldiers, turned his face ruthlessly, but when they heard Lin Xuanzhong's specific punishment of those people, they all breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Lin Xuanzhong was just thundering loudly and raining little, and the punishment method was completely within the scope of their acceptance。

In addition, about the robbery of the people's daughters by those people, some generals in the army knew that they originally had an attitude of turning a blind eye, and no one expected that Lin Xuanzhong, who had not asked about the military recently, would attach so much importance to this matter, and he also deliberately ordered someone to build a high platform, if it weren't for the fear that Lin Xuanzhong might be questioned if they didn't report it, everyone would think that Lin Xuanzhong was making a big fuss, but now they definitely didn't dare to think like that.

"You all go down," After announcing the punishment in front of everyone Zhao San and the others, Lin Xuanzhong planned to take this opportunity to warn the three armed forces to remember military regulations.

"Listen, all the generals said before, under military law, they will be treated equally," After Zhao San and the others went down, Lin Xuanzhong looked at the soldiers in front with a straight face, "The general's original intention was to protect the new army from being bullied by veterans, but on the other hand, he also wanted the soldiers not to violate military regulations." ”

"Today, a high platform was specially set up to punish a few people, but I just wanted everyone to understand that you can't violate military rules at will, and if anyone ignores Ben General's orders in the future and makes a big mistake, they will all be expelled from the army. If someone thinks that it is too difficult to comply with military regulations, they can leave the army now, and they will never stop them, "Since it is purposeful to gather the soldiers below, Lin Xuanzhong doesn't want to hide anything.

Now that the matter is finished, Lin Xuanzhong only waited for the soldiers below to question it, but he knew very well in his heart that no one would object to his words. So, after waiting for a while, Lin Xuanzhong continued: "Recently, all the soldiers have worked hard in battle, and the general has decided to distribute the March military salary tonight, and those who have special merits will be rewarded separately. ”

Since he was willing to leave the army, Lin Xuanzhong just took this opportunity to announce the reward that Zhang Jiutian had mentioned to him before.

"The general is wise," As a result, as soon as Lin Xuanzhong's words were finished, fierce cheers rang out all around, and the soldiers no longer had any dissatisfaction with Lin Xuanzhong's emphasis on military regulations just now.

"It's not early, all the soldiers will go back to prepare for tonight's celebration," things went smoothly, Lin Xuanzhong's mood gradually improved, and after letting the soldiers go back to get busy, Lin Xuanzhong also walked from the high platform to the area where the generals were.

After instructing Zhang Jiutian to arrange for someone to send all the captured women back as soon as possible, he said hello to Fang Quyin, and then left alone under the suspicious eyes of the generals as usual.

As soon as Lin Xuanzhong left, the generals who did not disperse began to discuss one after another, some people said that Lin Xuanzhong made a big fuss, was too harsh on the soldiers below, and was not close to people; some people said that Lin Xuanzhong was too kind and did not want to harm the civilians; and some people said that Lin Xuanzhong's personality had changed and he was no longer as sympathetic to the soldiers as before, but without exception, no one dared to openly say that what Lin Xuanzhong had done was wrong, at most he just complained.

In the midst of all kinds of discussions, the army became lively again, and the soldiers were busy and happy.

On the other side, after returning to the military tent, Lin Xuanzhong planned to arrange some more things, because according to the progress of the other army, they might have to wait for two or three days, so the soldiers could not be kept waiting for the next few days, and only by training as usual could they maintain their current morale. In addition, he also sent Chang Siyuan out to check the news.

Now Chang Siyuan and Hong Yu are the people in the army who are specifically responsible for exploring intelligence, and the two of them will be responsible for collecting military information in the future, and Lin Xuanzhong also plans to establish a special intelligence department in the barracks. After that, it is still about the future development of the army, once the personnel are expanded in the future, the army needs to have different functional departments to maintain normal operation, so from now on, Lin Xuanzhong plans to build those departments.

When Lin Xuanzhong was planning the development of the army, the people in Xingcheng were panicking, from the Gu Emperor to the ordinary civilians, all of them had a feeling of imminent disaster. There are not many people left behind to defend Xingcheng, but now there is an elite night army outside the city that exceeds the number of city guards, and no one can sleep well.

Judging from the combat strength of the 80,000 night army, with the current situation of Xingcheng, no one dares to guarantee whether they can defend it. In the blink of an eye, many people have regretted that they had not been able to form an alliance with the Night Country earlier, otherwise they would not have had no choice as they are now.

Like some people, Gu Huang regretted that he had misheard the words of the envoy of the Qingyuan Great Power, as long as they could hold out for half a month, the reinforcements would arrive. Now the 200,000 reinforcements sent from the southern Soviet State have indeed entered the border of the Gu State, but who would have thought that in just ten days, a night army would fight from the border to the outside of Xingcheng.

Even if the support army transferred by Qingyuan's envoy from the Su State day and night would not be able to come to support in time, so Gu Huang was very afraid that the night army would attack Xingcheng in one go. If that's the case, there is no other way than to flee south, and now the only consolation for Emperor Gu is that the Qingyuan envoy is still in the city. Only by keeping a close eye on Qingyuan's envoy can Gu Huang and those ministers feel a little relieved, of course, Gu Huang has already taken the initiative to flee south to join the reinforcements.

The Gu Emperor and those ministers were still like this, and the people in the city were even more so, afraid of the might of the night army, more and more people had the idea of fleeing south. Originally, they thought that the foot of the Son of Heaven was the safest place, but now it seems that the safest place is also the most dangerous. The fear was like a plague spreading rapidly in the city, and the situation in the city had deteriorated dramatically, and if it weren't for the Gu Emperor's strict prohibition of people leaving the city, some people might have fled from Xingcheng.

In this way, three days passed, and Bai Shuilian finally led another night army to converge. At the same time, it would take three days for Guguo's reinforcements to arrive at Xingcheng after speeding up their march, and according to the current situation, the night army would definitely not give them the opportunity to wait for reinforcements.

What is surprising is that not long after Bai Shuilian arrived, Lin Xuanzhong and the others received news that early in the morning, Gu Huang took countless people in the city to abandon the city and flee south, and set fire to the city before leaving, intending to prevent the night army from getting the city.

Three days ago, Lin Xuanzhong did not agree to directly attack Xingcheng, but instead stationed troops outside the city for a few days, which did not reduce the fear of the people in the city in the slightest. When Emperor Gu and many ministers figured out that they had no room to negotiate with the Night Kingdom, Emperor Gu, who had already been ready to flee, directly withdrew from Xingcheng with the ministers of the court, followed by countless civilians.

Before Lin Xuanzhong's military order to surrender and not kill was transmitted, the Gu Emperor had already abandoned the city and fled, and after receiving the news, everyone was surprised, they didn't expect that an imperial city would directly open its doors to them. Now that the original city defense soldiers have withdrawn with Emperor Gu, the personnel in the city pose no threat to the night army, Zhang Jiutian has already brought an army into the city to fight the fire, and at the same time, Fang Quyin stayed in the army to discuss the next matter with Bai Shuilian and others.
