Chapter 782: An Explanation
Chapter 782: An Explanation
Since the night army has entered the territory of Yangguo, it must find out the movements of all parties in Yangguo, and in any case it cannot be encircled, so the key at hand is to obtain information. In terms of checking information, if you can help from the army to Yangguo, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, first, those people are familiar with the terrain, and second, those people know the customs of Yangguo, and they can find out the useful news for the night army as soon as possible.
After thinking of the fastest way to obtain information, the question directly shifted to the Eight Thousand Yang Nation Soldiers. "Do you think the Eight Thousand Yang Kingdom soldiers can continue to stay in the army?" Without the general raising any objections, Lin Xuanzhong nodded to Ruan Yi and then asked the second question.
"General, the mood of the 8,000 soldiers is extremely unstable at present, and the last general has heard reports from the personnel in the army, and many people have been moved to leave the army. If the last general does not take measures sooner, it will be a matter of time before those Yang troops leave the army," answered a direct general of the Night Army, and although this person was no longer among the people who participated in the deliberations yesterday, the problems he said were enough for the other generals to pay attention to.
"The last general feels that it is always a hidden danger to leave the 8,000 Yang soldiers in the army, if there is no reasonable countermeasure, it is better to let them go or kill them in advance, in short, those hidden dangers must not be left in the army to affect the morale of the army," the speaker was that Yang Shifeng, concise and to the point, every word revealed a decisive killing intention, and listening to it made people's hearts tremble.
"Eight thousand soldiers occupy one-fifth of the strength of the new army, and it would be a pity to let them all go or kill them all, and the last general felt that General Yang's proposal was not feasible," because he did not agree with Yang Shifeng's statement, the night army general who spoke earlier immediately questioned it.
"Eight thousand soldiers is indeed a large number, but based on the safety of the army, eight thousand soldiers are nothing. If leaving those 8,000 people would only cause danger to our side, then what was the use of forcibly leaving them?" Yang Shifeng didn't care if it was the direct general of the Ming Night Army who refuted his opinion, or whether he insisted on his own opinion.
"No matter what, we must not let them go, those 8,000 soldiers have received formal training from our side, but they have not brought any benefit to our side, can it be that after so many days of feeding and drinking, not only will they get nothing in the end, but they must also turn against us?" Yang Shilin's resolute rebuttal quickly attracted the denial of another direct general of the Night Army.
This person's words were extremely simple, and they were nothing more than revealing two points: first, the night army had planned to use 8,000 soldiers to do something, and second, the night army had provided those people with food and drink for many days, and if they were directly let go, the loss would be too great. Originally, he felt that Yang Shifeng's point of view was very reasonable, but when the other general mentioned their efforts on the eight thousand soldiers, Lin Xuanzhong no longer felt that Yang Shifeng's point of view was very reasonable, but also realized a more important issue.
Not being able to easily let go of those soldiers is not only the meaning of the two direct generals of the Night Army, but I am afraid it is also the meaning of Fang Quyin and others, so it is necessary to solve the problem of eight thousand soldiers according to Yang Shilin's method, and in the end, it is very likely to cause the dissatisfaction of Fang Quyin and others. At that time, if the 8,000 soldiers really turned against them, then Zhao Xu must find himself when he is held responsible.
After thinking about it, Lin Xuanzhong felt more and more that the new army was a hot potato, but when he held it in his hand, he ignorantly coveted the delicacy of the yam and refused to put it down. Now, the threat of fire has increased. Regardless of whether today's deliberation can be dealt with with the 8,000 surrendered soldiers, tonight's deliberation has made Lin Xuanzhong more deeply aware of certain issues, and in a sense, this council has already demonstrated practical value, at least for Lin Xuanzhong.
"I'm afraid that the weapon will be broken before it is used," Yang Shifeng laughed unexpectedly when Lin Xuanzhong was thinking about some of the connections, and looked at the night army general who was talking with a sarcastic expression, not at all worried that this move would bring him death.
"What do you mean?" The mocked Night Army general didn't think about Yang Shifeng's words at all, just looking at Yang Shifeng's face, this person was already very dissatisfied. In his eyes, Yang Shifeng is just a foreign general, but now he is so rude, he deserves death.
"The general just thinks that General Qi's thoughts are foolish and dreamy, and those soldiers can't be used by you at all," Yang Shifeng slowly suppressed his smile and looked coldly at the few direct generals of the Night Army. Since those people had already made it clear that they wanted to take advantage of the new army's true intentions, how could Yang Shifeng, who had originally defected to the night army for his fame, go along with their wishes.
If the Night Army really intends to send them to death in vain, then what's the point of him as a general. It was hard to see in Lin Xuanzhong that they could have a chance to get ahead before, but now Yang Shifeng angered those generals just to see what kind of attitude Lin Xuanzhong had towards them.
"You are presumptuous," first scolded, followed by General Qi and said coldly: "General Yang, don't forget your identity." Sure enough, under the intentional stimulation of Yang Shifeng, the general surnamed Qi directly took the identities of both parties to say something. No matter what Lin Xuanzhong's intention was for them to get together, this person still bluntly expressed their dignity.
There are only five people on the side of the direct generals of the night army plus Zhang Jiutian, accounting for only one-third of the number of generals, but those people are united in their hatred of the enemy, and they demonstrate to the generals with foreign surnames one after another, with a look of no fear, and in a blink of an eye, the atmosphere is tense, as if the two sides may fight at any time, which makes Lin Xuanzhong nervous for no reason.
Originally, the generals were gathered together to let everyone get acquainted with each other, but they didn't expect to be so unhappy before they could get acquainted with each other, and now although Zhou Wenfeng and the others dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, Lin Xuanzhong could see that they were also very dissatisfied with the style of those night army generals, so they kept signaling Yang Shifeng with their eyes not to be impulsive. It seemed that standing in front of them, Zhang Jiutian had already had enough deterrent effect on them, not to mention that Lin Xuanzhong himself was still sitting on them.
Ruan Yi and the others also didn't dare to speak rashly at this moment, because if they didn't say it correctly, it was very likely to cause trouble, so although they were all holding back their anger, they were still in a state of waiting to see what happened.
"You want to use us to serve you desperately, but now you have to ask what Ben Jiang means, it's really ridiculous," although there was a general next to him pulling his sleeves, Yang Shifeng still said angrily: "Ben General and you are equal in rank are ordinary generals, Ben General's opinion is right or wrong, General Lin has his own say, and it is not your turn to care." After hesitating for a moment, Yang Shifeng's tone became more aggressive, and he looked at Lin Xuanzhong fearlessly when he spoke.
Although it was still a tentative move, Yang Shifeng's behavior undoubtedly caused a problem for Lin Xuanzhong. Even though he had expected the current situation to arise earlier, when the problem appeared, Lin Xuanzhong still felt that the problem came too early. Now after seeing the real situation of the incompatibility between the two sides, Lin Xuanzhong didn't know whether to be glad to find this problem early, or to feel embarrassed about how to solve this problem.
When everyone below looked at him, Lin Xuanzhong knew that he had to make a decision as soon as possible, how to deal with the problem of eight thousand soldiers could be put aside first, and now he had to give everyone an explanation, otherwise today's deliberations would not be able to go on at all.
Speaking of which, if it is easy to convince everyone by force, but if it is said that everyone is convinced, Lin Xuanzhong only feels more and more anxious in addition to feeling powerless, but time is limited, seeing that those people are waiting for him, Lin Xuanzhong feels that he can't even put down his body and persuade them to calm their anger first.
The two parties were arrogant and indignant on the one hand, and they both wanted an explanation that would satisfy them, and the more Lin Xuanzhong thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt.
Because he couldn't think of any good way for a while, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but look at Zhang Jiutian and Xue Yin, hoping that the two could give some help. It's a pity that Xue Yin doesn't know how to deal with the current situation, and she is at a loss at the moment. On the other side, Zhang Jiutian looked calm and silent, and had no intention of helping Lin Xuanzhong resolve the problem at all.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiutian wanted an explanation like other generals, Lin Xuanzhong was extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Jiutian's performance, and at the same time gave up the idea of getting help from Zhang Jiutian.
"General Ben summoned you tonight to discuss the military, but General Qi, you and General Yang openly confronted each other, which not only delayed the military agenda, but also made General Ben lose face. The two generals attach so much importance to their own identities but still commit the following crimes, do you know how to deal with military crimes?" After taking a long breath, Lin Xuanzhong, who was in front of the military case, looked softened, and asked seriously. Although he intended to ask for guilt, there was no blame in that tone, and Lin Xuanzhong's words directly made his own lord general's prestige disappear.
"General Lin, although the last general's words are fierce, they are only used to refute General Qi, and he may be guilty, but the last general feels that the two generals Qi and Zhou are openly provocative and oppressive with power, and the responsibility is even heavier," Yang Shifeng couldn't understand Lin Xuanzhong's bitter words, and he still wanted to add fuel to the fire on the issue at hand.
In the next time, Lin Xuanzhong did not reply to Yang Shifeng directly, but just gave Yang Shifeng a look full of meaning, and then turned to look at the two generals surnamed Qi, wanting to see what the two of them had to say.
"General Lin, General Yang intends to encourage the general to dismiss the Yang army, weaken the strength of our army, and disturb the hearts of our army, and ask the general to surrender his guilt," the general surnamed Qi was obviously not a fork to be provoked, and he pointed out Yang Shifeng's fault in a confrontational manner.
