Chapter 849: Sleepless Night
After feeling more and more that Hong Yu was not deceiving himself, Lin Xuanzhong went on to find that although Hong Yu's clothes were very dirty, they looked good in texture, thinking that Hong Yu must have bought such clothes to facilitate the investigation of news, but he had not thought it through himself before, and did not give Hong Yu more entanglement. After regretting some of the previous arrangements, no matter why there was a black market in Meteorite City and why someone was selling information, Lin Xuanzhong had actually believed everything Hong Yu had said.
"What's the good news you're talking about?" Trying to calm himself down, Lin Xuanzhong continued to ask after being surprised that the time given by Emperor Yang was so coincidental.
"I already said it just now," Hong Yu looked at Lin Xuanzhong with a blank look on his face, showing a little puzzlement.
"Are you talking about the evacuation of the Gu army?" As soon as his thoughts turned, Lin Xuanzhong recalled the many things that Hong Yu had said just now, and quickly thought of which one could be regarded as good news.
"General Gao Jian, in fact, the little one still heard from the people of Meteorite City that the Thunder Country is attacking the border of the Valley Country with a large army. If the Gu army does not withdraw, the Gu country will be in danger," nodding, Hong Yu's face was full of smiles, and he seemed very happy that Lin Xuanzhong could react in time.
"Hong Yu, do you have any other news to say?" Seeing that the other party seemed to be deliberately testing himself, Lin Xuanzhong looked at Hong Yu's smiling face with some dissatisfaction.
"General Yu, Xiao's ability is limited and he has only found so much information," Hong Yu shook his head, and immediately became serious after discovering that Lin Xuanzhong was a little displeased.
"Okay, you have a good rest in the big tent for a while, and listen to the general's orders at any time," he briefly ordered Hong Yu, and then Lin Xuanzhong looked at the deputy generals and said, "You all go out." ”
"Yes," several deputy generals ordered to leave, and in the blink of an eye, only Chang Siyuan and Hong Yu were left next to Lin Xuanzhong.
"General Chang, if you have no objection to the news reported by Hong Yu, now go and relay all the news that Hong Yu said just now to General Fang and them," Thinking that the news that Hong Yu brought back had some effect on the meeting over there, Lin Xuanzhong specially explained to Chang Siyuan again.
"Yes," Chang Siyuan glanced at Hong Yu before agreeing. Chang Siyuan didn't see any false expression on Hong Yu's face, and he could see that Lin Xuanzhong had taken the news that Hong Yu had brought back as facts. Although he felt that Lin Xuanzhong trusted Hong Yu too much, Chang Siyuan still decisively went over to deliver the message in the end.
After Chang Siyuan left, Hong Yu was still eating there, and Lin Xuanzhong, who was chewing and eating slowly, had a fire burning in his abdomen. Although Hong Yu didn't eat anything good, it still made Lin Xuanzhong swallow his saliva.
Turning his head, forcibly ignoring the feeling of wanting to eat, and after walking to the military case and sitting down, Lin Xuanzhong tried to think about whether the few pieces of news that Hong Yu brought back would have an impact on the current military situation, and at the same time wanted to find something beneficial to them.
Regarding the evacuation of the Gu army, there have been spies reported before, and it can be said that the withdrawal of the Gu army has no impact on the current situation. And the 100,000 reinforcements are too far away from the camp, because of the problem of food and grass, you can not consider the existence of reinforcements. Then there is the exact plan of the lockdown and the sword city, and now the combined number of people in the two cities is more than 200,000, but the other party does not have to worry about food at all, but they are the ones.
Judging from the harvest of some soldiers hunting today, it may not be difficult to feed the generals in the army alone, but at most it can only guarantee the time that the original uncertainty can continue to hold on for four days. The five-day deadline for Yang Guo has also passed one day, not to mention how strict Emperor Yang's requirements are, based on past experience, even if Sword City and the lockdown are forcibly delayed for a day or two, I am afraid it will not have any impact, and Emperor Yang cannot be expected to force those people to fight, so on the whole, they still have only one method: attacking the city.
However, Hong Yu said that Emperor Yang may be held hostage by people from the Qingyuan Powers, although this news was received a little late, but Lin Xuanzhong always felt that it was worth considering.
If they had received this news half a month ago, Lin Xuanzhong felt that they could completely spread the news that Emperor Yang had been held hostage by the Qingyuan Great Power, so as to divert the attention of those local forces and make those people busy saving their lord. During this period, the Night Army may still be able to form an alliance with the Yang side, but now that they have a fierce battle with the local forces of the Yang State, and they have also caused the other side to lose a large number of personnel, it can be said that they have formed a deeper grudge.
If the news is revealed now, no matter whether the people in the lockdown and Sword City will believe it or not, at least they will not care about this matter until they solve the Night Army, so making the news public now may not be as good as ignoring. After feeling that it was useless to make the news public, Lin Xuanzhong took into account the news itself.
If Emperor Yang did intend to ally with the Night Kingdom at first, and now he is forced to deal with the Night Army because of his hostage, then as long as he helps Emperor Yang get out of the predicament, it is possible to solve the problems that the army is currently facing. After thinking of this for the first time, to this day, Lin Xuanzhong finally found a way out.
According to this line of thought, Lin Xuanzhong next considered how to rescue Emperor Yang. It's just that the reason why Emperor Yang was held hostage is unknown, and I don't know Emperor Yang's current situation. If only some night soldiers were sent there, it would have taken them more than two or three days to get from the camp to Meteorite City alone.
In addition, without the help of the personnel of Meteorite City, it would be difficult for the people sent to enter the palace even to enter the palace, so just after thinking about it, Lin Xuanzhong felt that the idea of rescuing Emperor Yang was unrealistic. However, when Lin Xuanzhong realized that he should give up but didn't want to give up, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly thought of some people who could greatly shorten the rescue time, the Yang army generals who had been imprisoned in the army.
Shi Jiangchuan and the others were originally high-level leaders of the Yang Army, not only were they all high-level martial cultivators, but some of them were from the Imperial City and had a better understanding of the situation in the Imperial City. If you can determine the truth of the news as quickly as possible, and then let them help Emperor Yang out of the predicament as quickly as possible, there is a good chance that the crisis of the Night Army will be resolved. It's just that how to persuade them to do things for themselves, and how to persuade the soldiers of the three armies not to attack the blockade is a difficult matter.
When Hong Yu lay on the ground below and fell asleep and screamed, Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts entered the most critical period. From how to convince those prisoners, Lin Xuanzhong felt that first of all, he should let those people let go of the hatred between them, secondly, let those people understand that it was beneficial for them to ensure the safety of the night army, and secondly, let those people be willing to save the emperor from the bottom of their hearts. It is roughly divided into the above three aspects, and next, Lin Xuanzhong has to consider some specific practices.
At the same time, Fang Quyin, according to Lin Xuanzhong's instructions, Chang Siyuan had already relayed the news that Hong Yu had brought back to everyone. Like Lin Xuanzhong, many people did not doubt the authenticity of the news, but were more determined that they were going to attack the blockade, and it can be said that thanks to the news brought back by Hong Yu, Fang Quyin and the other generals could discuss the siege matters more intently.
And the more unified the results of the meeting, the more difficult it will be for Lin Xuanzhong to persuade them not to attack the city, but now that both sides are going on at the same time, tonight is destined to be an unquiet night for Lin Xuanzhong and many soldiers, but everything that awaits them is unknown.
As time passed, the surrounding area of the camp became quieter and quieter, and many of the soldiers had rested early, except for those who were still in charge of guarding, and now it was so quiet that one could hear the roar of beasts coming from the distant mountains. While Lin Xuanzhong continued to consider a way to rescue the Night Army, Sword City and Lockdown City, since receiving the deadline given to them by Emperor Yang yesterday, the high-level leaders of both sides had made some adjustments to their original plans.
Originally, both sides had plans to delay with the Night Army for a longer time, but now they had the idea of attacking the Night Army in advance, and of course the time they wanted to advance was still based on the five-day period. Until the last moment, they will not send troops or dare not send them. To be precise, the deadline given by Emperor Yang allowed the two sides to confirm their original plan to join forces to attack the Night Army.
According to the changes in the lockdown and the Sword City, Lin Xuanzhong and the rest of their time have been fixed, and after four days, they are likely to face the front and back attacks of the lockdown and the Sword City.
To this day, both the high-ranking people in the two cities and the ordinary people below have already known the fact that they want to attack as soon as possible. Although there are still some chaotic situations, it does not affect the whole anymore.
A night has passed, less than an hour since Hong Yu came back last night, Fang Quyin's meeting has ended, the details of the siege have been discussed, and the most important thing is that the siege has been expected.
After taking a look with Zhang Jiutian and the others who came back from the meeting last night, before the issue of rescuing Emperor Yang was thought through, Lin Xuanzhong had already received Fang Quyin's final decision to attack the city. It was a great pressure on Lin Xuanzhong, who was already planning to resolve the crisis in the army by rescuing Emperor Yang, so before sending troops today, in order to think clearly about the countermeasures to persuade everyone, Lin Xuanzhong stayed awake all night.
Early in the morning, when the sleepy-eyed Hong Yu got up from the simple bunk that Lin Xuanzhong ordered someone to send last night, and the soldiers outside brought water and food, Lin Xuanzhong was still staring at the empty military case.
"General, breakfast has been brought to you," the soldier who was specially serving Lin Xuanzhong sent the food to the big tent as usual, a plate of fierce beast meat, the amount was enough for Lin Xuanzhong to eat alone, but at this moment, Lin Xuanzhong's attention was on Hong Yu.
Through the observation of Hong Yu's appearance at the moment, Lin Xuanzhong found that Hong Yu's awakening may have a lot to do with smelling the smell of meat, because since the soldiers in front of him came in, Hong Yu's eyes have never left the plate containing cooked meat, and he looks extremely greedy.
After the soldier put the things down, Lin Xuanzhong picked up the knife on the plate and directly split the piece of meat in two, and then took out half of it and threw it to Hong Yu below.
