Chapter 685: Deliberations

"General Lin, come here," and when everyone's attention stopped on Lin Xuanzhong, Zhao Xu's voice was unexpectedly calm, and he didn't mean to blame Lin Xuanzhong at all.

"Yes," agreed, Lin Xuanzhong immediately walked to the side of those generals, and then noticed that the generals present were indeed the lowest rank of wolf generals.

"Today, the secret agent sent back the news, and there are so-called people with lofty ideals in each city south of Fancheng, there are quite a few people, and the overall strength is enough to attract our attention," Zhao Xu continued: "According to this marshal's speculation, there may be more people to join the Cheng Alliance in the future, I don't know what you think about this?"

"There are some family forces among those who have defected to the coalition army, and there is no shortage of high-level martial cultivators. If the number of personnel continues to grow, when we go to war with the coalition forces, that group of foreign forces may have a great impact on our side, "It is Yan Nantian who answers, for Yan Nantian, it is not a question of the number of people who defect to the coalition forces, the key is the overall strength of those people."

If the number of high-level martial cultivators among them reaches dozens, when the war with the coalition forces starts again in ten days, the night army may have to allocate tens of thousands of troops for this purpose, or send dozens of generals to deal with those outsiders. By that time, it can be said that those people with lofty ideals in the Wing Country have completely affected the overall situation.

"Those so-called righteous men who did not sacrifice their lives in the danger of their own country, but now take the initiative to join the coalition forces who have suspicions about their country, it is obvious that those people have put their personal interests in the first place, and they are determined that the wing country will cease to exist in the future to curry favor with the coalition forces, so the last general feels that there are very few real warriors among them. ”

"Does General Zhang mean that the people who went to join the coalition army didn't want to avenge their dead relatives?" After Zhang boldly expressed his own opinion, Li Jianran felt that it was very reasonable, so he immediately followed behind and asked.

"That's true, now the coalition forces are strong, it is conceivable that once we are defeated by the coalition forces, the next target of the coalition forces is the Wing Country, as for what means the coalition forces will use to destroy the royal family of the Wing Country, it is still unknown, but the initiative of those family forces to surrender is obviously their precautionary move," Zhang boldly nodded, and analyzed the problem more clearly under the gaze of the generals.

"According to General Zhang's opinion, those people are willing to surrender to the coalition forces but are unwilling to submit to us, obviously because they feel that the coalition forces are more likely to win," Li Jianran nodded, and in connection with Zhang's bold statement, Li Jianran quickly got some inferences.

"What the three commanders said is very reasonable, but what the commander means is to let you and others come up with a countermeasure to this matter," as the commander of the three armies, after receiving further news about the defection of the Wing Country personnel to the coalition forces, Zhao Xu considered all aspects clearly, and now what the three generals said is just to describe some of Zhao Xu's thoughts.

"Marshal, the last general thinks that he can send some men to the area south of Fancheng to intercept and kill those who want to join the coalition forces in various key sections. ”

"Marshal, the last general thinks that he can create rumors in the southern region and slander those people as a gap sent by our side, so that the coalition forces will not dare to easily take those people for their own use. ”

Receiving Zhao Xu's prompt, the two wolves will state their countermeasures one after the other.

"Do you have any other opinions?" Nodding at the two generals, Zhao Xu looked at the other generals.

"Marshal, the coalition camp has been on alert recently, and our secret agents have not been able to find out the specific situation in the coalition camp. According to the general's opinion, it is better to really send some people to join the coalition army with those winged people, so as to obtain information in the alliance's favor for us. ”

"This is not a plan, even if our people successfully infiltrate the coalition camp and even find out some useful information, it must be difficult to spread the news, so it is useless to infiltrate the coalition camp. When one of the generals came up with a plan that seemed to have some effect, another man who seemed to have considered it immediately dismissed it.

It is not difficult for others to understand that the transmission of information is indeed a tricky issue, especially when there is no understanding of the internal situation of the coalition camp, and it can be said that it is completely risky.

Next, according to what the generals said just now, the rest of the generals expressed their opinions one by one, and one by one they made Lin Xuanzhong realize that the current situation was not as simple as he had imagined before. To put it simply, those people's statements are constantly refreshing Lin Xuanzhong's cognition of the situation in front of him.

After being surprised again and again, Lin Xuanzhong only felt that the generals' personal analysis of this matter and their respective opinions were very reasonable, so when those people were divided into several factions to argue, Lin Xuanzhong, who had no opinion, quickly became confused about it.

"There are many large and small cities south of Fancheng, and the number of people in each city who want to join the coalition forces cannot be counted, and the situation changes at all times, and it takes us a long time to gather information, let alone send people to deal with them. ”

"It is likely that the city has been mixed with the eyes and ears of the coalition forces recently, and it is difficult for us to send a large number of men silently without being noticed, so it is not feasible to send personnel to intercept those who defect when the situation is not in our favor. After a period of time, after many generals expressed their opinions on the "interception and killing" strategy just now, Zhao Xu expressed his own opinions as everyone expected.

"Spreading rumors will only increase the scrutiny on the part of the coalition forces, and not only will the current large number of coalition forces have enough people to take care of this matter, but also because the coalition camp is located outside the city, it will be easier for them to obtain information about those who are winged nations. Even if you can send people to blend in with the people of the Wing Country, I'm afraid it will not be easy to really infiltrate the coalition camp. ”

"Aside from how to transmit information, according to the commander's opinion, the top of the coalition army will definitely not let those outsiders know their confidential information, so all the strategies you put forward are not feasible," Speaking of which, Zhao Xu had more or less thought about the methods proposed by those generals before. The reason why he patiently clarified his own opinions now is that Zhao Xu wants to see if he can find some more problems during this period.

"What the marshal said is that now all the movements of our army may be under the monitoring of the enemy, and if there are abnormal moves, they will probably be discovered, and not only will some strategies not be implemented at that time, but the personnel who may be sent out will also suffer losses," After Zhao Xu finished speaking, Zhang Dadao affirmed Zhao Xu's analysis in a timely manner.

At the same time, Li Jianran and Yan Nantian were silent, but judging from the expressions of the two, it was obvious that both of them had agreed with Zhao Xu's analysis. Because the three generals agreed with Zhao Xu's opinion, the other generals did not say more, and the discussion on how to stop the people of the Wing Kingdom from defecting to the Cheng Alliance Army was completely deadlocked.

"Ben Shuai also received two pieces of news today, the ordnance units of Fei and Yang each have more than 60,000 people, and they are now speeding up and rushing towards Fancheng. In a dozen days, the two ordnance units will be able to arrive in front and back, thus joining the main force of the coalition forces. At that time, because of the problem of food and grass, the coalition forces will definitely launch an attack on Fancheng as soon as possible, I don't know what do you think about how to deal with the coalition forces?" Putting aside the question just now, Zhao Xu went on to mention the most important issue at the moment.

"Marshal, the last general thinks that the city defense of Fancheng can be strengthened as soon as possible......" The answer was a cavalry general, and his plan was to completely seal the city gate, and then pour a section of the city wall on both sides of the city tower with molten iron, so as to turn the stone wall into an iron wall.

This man's method seemed beyond imagination, but it seemed to many generals in the hall to be a feasible strategy, because the Night Army had enough materials and enough manpower.

"General Wen's proposal will be considered by the marshal," Sure enough, the next time, Zhao Xu expressed his approval to the general.

"Marshal, the last general thinks it is most appropriate to send reinforcements as soon as possible. At present, our side can be said to be small in numbers and weak, and if we can transfer 100,000 troops to stay in the Snow Country, it will play a great role in stabilizing the morale of the army and improving morale," and then another general of the arrow battalion expressed his own opinion.

Since the three main generals chose to wait and see, it is now the time for the generals below to perform. Since the generals of the cavalry battalion and the arrow battalion have proposed a solution, the generals of the infantry battalion are naturally not to be outdone.

"Marshal, the last general thinks that our army may be able to take the initiative to fight before the arrival of the ordnance units of the coalition forces. A few days ago, the two encounters with the enemy army have fully demonstrated the extraordinary combat strength of our army's elite. If you can fight before the follow-up troops of the coalition army arrive, you can reduce the number of winged people who join the coalition army accordingly, and second, you can catch the coalition army by surprise. ”

When the general of the infantry battalion said the strategy he had come up with, many generals in the hall were dazzled for a while, and they all felt that this person's plan was feasible.

"General Shi's idea will be considered by this commander, but don't get your hopes up, this commander does not think that our army has the ability to fight," at the critical moment, Zhao Xu said a puzzling sentence. For a while, the generals considered Zhao Xu's attitude.

Speaking of which, the purpose of Zhao Xu's convening of the council today is to want the generals to express their opinions and provide them with some help in deciding on their combat strategies. Now it seems that there have been some results, if there are more and better opinions, maybe Zhao Xu can decide what to do next.

"General Shi's strategy sounds good, but in fact it is not feasible," not long after, a general had already come to an inference based on Zhao Xu's special reminder, and under the attention of everyone, the man continued: "First, the army of the Flying Country on the side of the coalition army is famous for riding and shooting, and second, the soldiers of Yangguo are aggressive, and Yangguo also has sophisticated weapons. ”
