Chapter 932 Deliberations
"The general will go back and rest early, and the rest of the matter will be handled by himself," Regardless of whether there is a gap between the dozens of people in front of him, Zhou Wenfeng does not plan to let Lin Xuanzhong worry about the next matter.
"Okay," he agreed, Lin Xuanzhong turned around and walked in the direction of the big tent, and after riding his horse, he kept thinking about what kind of impact taking in these puppet troops would have on the army.
Not long after the situation in the army stabilized, the arrival of the puppet army was undoubtedly a side event, which made Lin Xuanzhong feel helpless. However, now that the matter has happened, Lin Xuanzhong cannot choose to escape, and he still has to face the current problem.
It is necessary to consider not only from one's own point of view, but also from the perspective of others, the more puppet troops come, the greater the impact on the army. Regardless of whether those dozens of people sincerely surrender or not, the current number will not have much impact on the army, and I am afraid that there will be more puppet troops coming.
"Report, there are a large number of puppet troops on the east side of the camp, roughly estimated to be two hundred, all of them say that they are here to defect to the general, please instruct the general," returned to the camp tent less than a quarter of an hour, and was worried that there would be puppet troops fleeing to the camp, Lin Xuanzhong, really received the new news reported by the herald, and the content was even more surprising.
I don't know why so many puppet soldiers successfully escaped from the camp, and successfully escaped to the location of the blue army camp, the unexpected situation in front of Lin Xuanzhong gave Lin Xuanzhong a headache, but he didn't have time to think about it carefully.
"Leave all those puppet troops who came to us to General Zhou to deal with, do everything in a low-key manner, and don't disturb the rest of the soldiers," After thinking about it briefly, Lin Xuanzhong thought that he couldn't kill those people, and he couldn't drive those people away, so he could only let those people stay first.
"Yes," the herald below was ordered to leave, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Xuanzhong was left alone in the big tent, after thinking that there might be a puppet army coming later, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but think about how many puppet soldiers could be accepted in the barracks, and how the personnel who knew the situation tomorrow would look at this matter. Maybe those people can accept themselves and accept the puppet army, but Lin Xuanzhong doesn't want to embarrass them, so there must be a good way to deal with the matter of the puppet army.
Originally, he planned to think about the current military early and then rest, but now because of the arrival of those puppet troops, Lin Xuanzhong is not in the mood to rest at all. If you do the math, there are about five days left before Bai Shuilian arrives at the camp, and about seven days before the two armies start the battle. In other words, within ten days, the fighting between the two sides would be over.
In case the war on this side will not end, the war on Zhao Wu's side will also end, the blue army in the south will face the same number of enemy troops with 200,000 troops, out of respect for Zhao Wu, Lin Xuanzhong is not worried about the war in the south, but when considering these problems, Lin Xuanzhong found an important problem.
At first, they wanted Hong Yu to train spies to check all the situation around the Blue Country so that they could conduct future wars, but now it seems that just one Rao army is enough to embarrass them. If they do receive some irrelevant information from further afield, I am afraid it will only cause them trouble. After thinking about it carefully, Lin Xuanzhong only felt that his current ability was simply not enough to control the situation in more regions.
The old idea was a bit funny, but now it seems that in order to reach the desired height, it will take more strength or stronger help. After thinking of the generals below, Lin Xuanzhong felt more and more that it was necessary to explore the advantages of those people, so that those people could lead the army to a better tomorrow.
With the flow of Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts, time passed little by little. The next morning, there was a lot of noise in the barracks, and when more and more people knew that a large number of puppet soldiers had come to them last night, they talked about it one by one. As Lin Xuanzhong expected last night, the situation was quickly divided into two aspects. Some demanded that the hundreds of puppet soldiers be executed immediately to avenge the soldiers who had died before, while others supported Lin Xuanzhong's approach.
In their opinion, the puppet army is also a victim. Since the puppet army is now not afraid of life and death to come to them, it must be the idea of revenge for the Rao army, since the purpose is the same, they should temporarily put aside the grievances with the puppet army, and jointly plan to deal with the Rao army. The key problem is that there are far fewer people willing to accept the puppet army than there are those who want to kill them, and again, only a small percentage of them remain neutral.
Compared with the hundreds of thousands of troops, hundreds of puppet troops are not worth mentioning at all, killing or letting them go does not have much impact, but it is not easy to accept them in the army. After breakfast, for the sake of the puppet army, Lin Xuanzhong specially summoned some generals to see the generals' views on accepting the puppet army, of course, the opinions of those generals can represent the soldiers below to a large extent.
"If you have any opinions on accepting the puppet army, please say it directly," Before Bai Shuilian arrived, Lin Xuanzhong was still in charge of the affairs in the army.
"The last general thinks that keeping those puppet troops in the army will affect the morale of the whole army, and I have worked hard for many days to stabilize the general's heart, and if we accept the puppet army, we may fall short," Lin Xuanzhong has always pursued the principle of equality for all in accepting the opinions of his subordinates, and at this moment, a new army general named Zhao Guang is not afraid of offending Lin Xuanzhong and directly opposed.
"The last general agrees with General Zhao's opinion, although those puppet troops were used by others before, but the grudge between them and our army is an indisputable fact, whether it was before or now, leaving those people in the army has a lot of discomfort," Immediately afterwards, Yang Shifeng also stood up.
The last general thought that General Yang was right. ”
......
In the blink of an eye, two-thirds of the people in the big tent stood with Yang Shifeng, and many of them were the first batch of outsiders to join the Blue Army like Yang Shifeng. It seems that after the size of the army has become larger and the number of personnel has increased, those people have become very protective in accepting people from the outside world, and those two-thirds of them completely represent the opinion of one side.
"The big war is imminent, our army should be united, not because hundreds of puppet troops cause the army's morale to be uneven, affecting the follow-up war, the last general thinks that he can kill or drive away all those puppet troops, so as to calm the army's heart," Immediately afterwards, another commander named Zhou Peng expressed further opinions.
"The last general thought that the general was known for his benevolence and righteousness, and treated him with a broad mind to people from all walks of life, so that we and other people from different backgrounds could be brought together in one place. If you kill those puppet soldiers who defect to the army, or drive them out of the camp, it will inevitably affect the reputation of the general, so the last general thinks that those puppet soldiers can be kept in the army for the time being, just to ensure that those personnel will not adversely affect our army," it was Zhou Wenfeng who spoke, and Zhou Wenfeng's consideration was based on Lin Xuanzhong's reputation and the future of the army.
If the Rao army is defeated this time, the army will also embark on the road of expansion after that. Whether it is to kill or drive away those puppet soldiers, it may be that after they occupy the Tianyu Kingdom, no loyal people will take the initiative to come and defect. Zhou Wenfeng's statement can be said to be his own opinion, but it also represents the thoughts of some people.
As soon as Zhou Wenfeng said this, Yang Shifeng and the others who wanted to kill those puppet soldiers fell into thought one by one. If they want to take into account Zhou Wenfeng's remarks about the Blues, they should at least think broader.
"The last general agrees with General Zhou's point of view, and killing those puppet soldiers will damage the prestige of the general, and most of our people and others are admiring the reputation of the general and joining the army. If he kills those people directly, the last general will not be convinced. ”
"General Quan, aren't you joking? Kill or not kill those puppet soldiers, what do you have to be unconvinced, do you still dare to question the general's decision?" Perhaps General Quan's statement was too extreme, and Liu Yuxi, who was very senior, immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with it.
"The last general doesn't dare, the last general just hopes that the general will think twice," the general surnamed Quan shook his head, and immediately defended himself, but the meaning in his eyes that wanted Lin Xuanzhong not to kill those puppet soldiers did not change.
I didn't expect that there were people in the army who were as kind as myself, I don't know whether to say that this person is frank, or whether to say that this person is a little stupid, in short, Lin Xuanzhong can see that the remarks of the general surnamed Quan are completely inferior to Zhou Wenfeng's statement. But on the other hand, Liu Yuxi's attitude also made Lin Xuanzhong see that the momentum of the generals of the new army in the army was weaker after all.
"If there is a war going on today, the army should recruit talents, and now that so many people have defected to the general, it is true that the general should not kill those people because of past grudges, so as to affect his reputation. According to the last general's opinion, regarding the matter of the puppet army, we still need to consider it in the long run. If you can ensure that the puppet army will not affect the battle between us and the Rao army without affecting the reputation of the general, it is the best," Ruan Yi stood up at the critical moment, as a person who can be said to have a deep hatred with Lin Xuanzhong, but at this moment he said such a thing, which is enough to show Lin Xuanzhong's profound influence on the officers and soldiers in the army.
In addition, as a person whose identity is alongside Yang Shifeng and Zhou Wenfeng, Ruan Yi's words carry a lot of weight.
"The general has always been approachable and sympathetic to the soldiers, and although those puppet soldiers have enmity with us, they are still forced to be helpless in the end. Now he has worked hard to defect to the general, just to seek revenge on Rao Jun. If it were you and me, presumably the outcome we were looking forward to would not be the general's avoidance, or the extermination, so I would have thought that the generals still needed to think about it, and then give the general some suggestions, instead of giving the general some problems," the general who spoke was full of admiration for Lin Xuanzhong, obviously this person was standing in the same queue as the previous general surnamed Quan, but he spoke nicely.
"General Shi, what if those puppet soldiers are here to respond to the Rao army? Do you want to leave them to stab us in the back during the war?"
