Chapter 917: Back to Camp

Catching up with the inquiring eyes of those generals, although he knew that the military situation was urgent, Ruan Yi still felt a little innocent. If it weren't for Zhang Jiutian to say it, he really didn't know that Lin Xuanzhong was with Ruan Ming at the moment. But judging from the eyes of the other generals, it was clear that Ruan Ming had affected their military. Afraid that those generals would blame Ruan Ming, after a period of nervousness, Ruan Yi hurriedly said, "I'll urge the general to come back." ”

"General Ruan is slow, the general may not want to be disturbed now, why don't I wait to discuss the matter first, and then let the general come back," Zhang Jiutian called Ruan Yi to stop, thinking that Lin Xuanzhong might blame them for making a fuss when he came back, so he decided that they would discuss it first.

"But?" Under a strange gaze, Ruan Yi looked embarrassed, and didn't know how to deal with it, after all, Lin Xuanzhong was not there, and Zhang Jiutian was the last to speak.

"Nonsense," and at this moment, Shi Jiangchuan spoke, glanced at Ruan Yi dissatisfied, and then looked at Zhang Jiutian again, "How can a general do anything after receiving such an important military situation." ”

"Calm down, generals, the information brought by Vice Admiral Hong is important, but it doesn't make much difference if the general is not here, I can discuss it first, and then make a decision when the general comes," Lin Xuanzhong should indeed be here, but the key problem is that Lin Xuanzhong's mind is not military. Even if he can do anything here, Zhang Jiutian really feels that it doesn't matter whether Lin Xuanzhong participates in the deliberation process or not.

"What does General Zhang mean?" Zhang Jiutian first shouted to Ruan Yi, and then asked them not to wait for Lin Xuanzhong to come over, Liu Yuxi, who had always supported Lin Xuanzhong, was very dissatisfied with this.

"Let's let Vice General Hong explain the situation more clearly," deliberately avoiding the true meaning that Liu Yuxi wanted to express, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Jiutian drew everyone's attention to Hong Yu again.

As the person with the lowest strength in the entire tent at this moment, Hong Yu originally came over in person to report the news directly to Lin Xuanzhong, but unfortunately it was Zhang Jiutian who saw him for the first time, and now Hong Yu could feel that the atmosphere in the tent was a little wrong. After carefully glancing at the generals, Hong Yu had no choice but to follow Zhang Jiutian's instructions and said, "Half an hour ago, we sent secret agents near the Rao army camp to find out the news. ”

"Tonight, the camp of the Rao army is very quiet, there is no sign of frequent activity of personnel, which is very different from the previous two days, so the last general thinks that the rest of the Rao army tonight may be because of the surprise attack on our army tomorrow," Since Lin Xuanzhong was not there, Hong Yu could only obey Zhang Jiutian's orders.

At present, the war has not yet begun, and the role of the intelligence department is the most prominent, which is the main reason why Hong Yu can appear here. When thinking that Lin Xuanzhong had said that the intelligence department was very likely to become their main support for marching and fighting in the future, all the generals felt that they had seen something, but they couldn't say anything.

"According to what Vice General Hong said, the situation in the Rao military camp tonight is extremely abnormal, and there is a great tendency to send troops, just in case, we will discuss in advance whether the Rao army will send troops tomorrow," After taking Hong Yu's words, Zhang Jiutian directly played the role of commander and announced what they were going to do.

"There are currently 300,000 troops stationed in the Rao army, which is only 50,000 more troops than us for the time being. According to General Lu's statement early in the morning, half of the Rao army was still on their way to arrive, and they would not be able to arrive for a while. Could it be that the Rao army wants to attack our army's camp early, so as to see how our army's combat strength is?"

"Of the 300,000 troops of the Rao army, 200,000 are puppet troops that they forcibly control, and I would have thought that the Rao army should not dare to start a war with our army in advance?"

"Not only are there puppet troops, their total strength is only 50,000 more than ours, what qualifications do they have to fight with our army?"

"Unless the Rao army just wants to see the combat power of our army?"

After the situation in the big tent was controlled by Zhang Jiutian, the generals didn't think much about it anymore, especially those who already supported Zhang Jiutian, and they actively expressed their views.

"General Han is right, the main force of the Rao army will not be able to arrive in a short time, and it is impossible for the Rao army to want to fight a decisive battle with our army in advance. The question now is that if the Rao army moves tomorrow, do you think we will fight or not?" Nodding, Zhang Jiutian summarized the statements of the previous generals.

"If the Rao army is attacked, we will have to fight without fighting; if the Rao army only sends some people to test, we can choose to fight or not; if the Rao army intends to lead us into battle, our army can consider it at that time," Zhou Wenfeng gave an opinion following Zhang Jiutian's meaning.

"Our army now has 250,000 troops, and its morale must be no worse than that of Rao's army. If the Rao army came tomorrow, Ben would feel that he could go to war, and once the 300,000 Rao army was eliminated tomorrow, the next battle with the Rao army would be easier. ”

"I agree with General Shi's point of view, if the Rao army dares to test the combat strength of our army, we will give them a little color," Immediately afterwards, Yang Shifeng also expressed the view of the main battle.

"I'm in favor of it too. ”

......

One by one, in the blink of an eye, most of the people in the entire camp expressed the opinion of the main battle, leaving the rest of those who still felt that they should wait for Lin Xuanzhong to come over without anything to say.

"General Shi, what do you think?" When Zhou Wenfeng and the others expressed their positions one after another, Zhang Jiutian naturally looked at those who had not yet expressed their position. The former Yang Army chief headed by Shi Jiangchuan, as well as several former Gu Army generals led by Dong Shaozhen.

"War or not war has a lot to do with it, let's wait for the general to come over and make a decision," Originally, this kind of military situation should be handled by the commander-in-chief of the three armies, but Bai Shuilian is not there, so it should be the person with the highest rank here, but Lin Xuanzhong is not there, Shi Jiangchuan still feels that it is not appropriate to express his views in front of Zhang Jiutian at this moment. After all, this is an army, and only Lin Xuanzhong can justify it.

The general also felt that the general still needed to make a decision, "It was Dong Shaozhen who answered, Dong Shaozhen had too many doubts about Lin Xuanzhong's personality, but Dong Shaozhen had no doubts about Lin Xuanzhong's ability. Although Zhang Jiutian can indeed act in place of Lin Xuanzhong, Dong Shaozhen still looks more towards Lin Xuanzhong, or recognizes Lin Xuanzhong more.

"Okay," nodded, Zhang Jiutian looked at Ruan Yi with a calm face, "General Ruan, please go and invite the general back quickly." Shi Jiangchuan and Dong Shaozhen's unsympathetic response did not cause Zhang Jiutian's dissatisfaction, Zhang Jiutian really just wanted to discuss it with them, and he didn't think about helping Lin Xuanzhong make any decisions at all.

"Yes," he agreed, and Ruan Yi left the big tent directly. Although he joined the army earlier than Dong Shaozhen and Shi Jiangchuan and others, his rank was much lower than Zhang Jiutian when he joined the army, and Zhang Jiutian's instructions were orders for Ruan Yi, and Ruan Yi's way of replying was no problem, but it only highlighted Zhang Jiutian's high status in the army.

In terms of identity, no one among the generals present could compare with Zhang Jiutian. In terms of power, no one is more recognized than Zhang Jiutian. Unconsciously, because of Lin Xuanzhong's full support, Zhang Jiutian's influence in the army has become incomparable, and relatively speaking, it has even surpassed that of ordinary commanders.

After Ruan Yi left, Zhang Jiutian discussed with the generals again, discussing all the preparations they needed to make for battle. Because the rhetoric was reasonable, during this period, Shi Jiangchuan, Dong Shaozhen and others did not express any objections, and everything could only wait for Lin Xuanzhong to come over and make a decision.

At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong, after a conversation without a word, the two still confirmed their relationship. After making up his mind, there are no longer any factors that can affect Lin Xuanzhong's liking of Ruan Ming, even if Qinglan is still alive, it is not good, it is a big deal to marry both.

After determining the relationship with Ruan Ming, many of the problems that had plagued Lin Xuanzhong for many days were solved, and the decision to go back to the north remained unchanged, but the time to go back was greatly delayed, and he would definitely come back after going back, no matter what, Lin Xuanzhong still had to fulfill his original promise to Ruan Ming and others, and he would take them to war with the Qingyuan power.

After making further decisions, Lin Xuanzhong planned to talk to other generals about what he had said to Zhang Jiutian at the beginning, so that others could support him to go back.

"Should the two of you go back," The cool evening breeze, the gentle beauty like water, everything made Lin Xuanzhong feel good, until an abrupt voice came from behind him.

"Brother," startled, the two turned around almost at the same time, and when they saw that it was Ruan Yi, Ruan Ming hurriedly greeted him.

On the other side, Ruan Yi's sudden arrival made Lin Xuanzhong feel strange, when he noticed that there were still some soldiers behind Ruan Yi, after being surprised, it was not difficult for Lin Xuanzhong to think that Ruan Yi's trip might be for the sake of the army.

"What's going on in the army?" I don't know what kind of things can make Ruan Yi come over in person, Lin Xuanzhong can't care about the embarrassment of being disturbed by them.

"General, let's talk while walking, the other generals are waiting in the big tent!" Now the position of the few people is still some distance away from the big tent in the army, Ruan Yi doesn't want to waste time here, so he directly leads the two of them to the place where the people below lead the horses.

"How likely does the general think that Rao's army will call tomorrow?" Because of Ruan Ming's relationship, walking side by side with Lin Xuanzhong, Ruan Yi was very embarrassed, so he explained the situation to Lin Xuanzhong when he set off, and then expressed his intention to discuss with Lin Xuanzhong.

"Since there is an abnormal situation in the enemy army, there will inevitably be some action tomorrow, no matter whether it will come or not, our army should take precautions as soon as possible," After listening to Ruan Yi's explanation, Lin Xuanzhong, who was a little surprised, briefly thought about it, and then came to an objective conclusion.

"The result of General Zhang and others' discussion just now is exactly like this, but General Dong and General Shi have not yet expressed their opinions, so the general should go back and make a conclusion. ”
