Chapter 779: Deliberations

Those generals also knew that it was a problem for Yang's soldiers to be mixed in the new army, and some of them even thought that they should not bring more than 10,000 people to Guguo this time, because it was obviously a hidden danger to let them stay in the army, and if Emperor Yang broke his promise, no one could be sure whether those soldiers would betray halfway.

It's a pity that their status is too low, and they don't even have the right to question Lin Xuanzhong whether the decision above is correct, so they can only act according to the attitude of the above. For those Yangguo soldiers, returning to China in their current capacity not only made them unable to raise their heads, but also made many people hesitate, not knowing whether to continue to be a traitor or betray the night army who spared their lives.

Speaking of which, they have actually died once, if it weren't for Zhao Xu's benevolence, they wouldn't have had a chance to live until now, but after returning to Yangguo, they knew that it was not easy to live again, under the rebuke and insult of those compatriots, few people could raise their heads, and strengthen their hearts to serve the night country. Of course, they won't leave their weapons behind anyway, because they can't openly betray their gracious night army.

Moreover, because they knew the power of the Night Army, they didn't want to go to war with the Night Army anymore, whether it was now or in the future. Besides, Emperor Yang already intends to form an alliance with the Night Kingdom, and if the alliance is reached, it will not be considered a betrayal for them to serve the Night Kingdom in the future. With mixed emotions, the two armies made their way through Fossil City without stopping.

When they came to the outside of the city, there were no longer the citizens of Fossil City around, but they still didn't feel any better, whether it was the new army or the elite of the night army, they were all like a burden on their backs, and they were a little uneasy at the thought of so many hostile people behind them.

Compared with those people, Lin Xuanzhong, who has always led the army, feels a little better. Originally, for his own safety, Lin Xuanzhong could walk with Fang Quyin, but Lin Xuanzhong resolutely walked in front of the team for the sake of the generals in front of him, and the feeling of moving forward under pressure made Lin Xuanzhong tense his nerves all the time. Now that he has successfully passed through Fossil City, Lin Xuanzhong's feeling is naturally better.

It would take at least two days to get from Fossil City to the city in front, and in two days, Lin Xuanzhong could discuss some more things with Fang Quyin. By evening, the 100,000 night army was stationed twenty miles from Fossil City. Based on the situation encountered when passing through Fossil City, after dinner, Fang Quyin directly found Lin Xuanzhong to discuss the military.

The actions of those Fossil City citizens before were like a warning to them, always reminding them of what kind of situation they would encounter if they went forward, and Fang Quyin had to be careful in order to ensure their own safety. Tonight's discussion was about the security risks of being alone and the problems that might arise from the presence of Yang soldiers in the army.

Because Lin Xuanzhong has been leading the 40,000 new troops recently, Fang Quyin feels that Lin Xuanzhong should be made to pay attention to all aspects of the problem. Before the meeting began, Fang Quyin also specially reminded Lin Xuanzhong to bring a few new army generals over to participate in the deliberations, which was Fang Quyin's greatest respect for those people. If it was according to Fang Quyin's original plan, tonight's high-level meeting would not have the qualifications for those people to participate at all, Fang Quyin's move was to give Lin Xuanzhong face, and secondly, to make those new army generals more loyal to Lin Xuanzhong.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Fang Quyin and Lin Xuanzhong stood side by side on both sides of a hanging map, and behind the two were a group of generals, most of whom were the direct generals of the night army. On the New Army's side, Lin Xuanzhong specially selected people, and the representatives of the three factions were there, and there was more than one person from each faction.

"Generals, what happened to our army when it passed through Fossil City today, you and the generals have seen it with your own eyes. Our army defeated the coalition army outside Fancheng, which led to a decrease in the number of people in Yangguo and aroused the hatred of the people in Yangguo. ”

After a pause, Fang Quyin continued: "Although the city lord of Fossil City said on the surface that he was trying his best to cooperate with our march at the behest of the emperor, and also sent us some grain and grass as compensation for the rude behavior of those city citizens, but the people's hearts are unpredictable, according to the real situation of Fossil City, I am afraid that our army will take advantage of the road to promote the country, it is not as simple as imagined, I don't know how General Lin views today's affairs?" The meeting had just begun, and Fang Quyin combined today's events and asked Lin Xuanzhong to analyze the current situation.

"The people of Yangguo are martial, and seven or eight out of ten of the men and women in the fossil city are martial artists. Although most people can only be regarded as ordinary martial arts cultivators, it does not affect the fact that Yangguo can 'all the country is a soldier'. If the city lord of Fossil City did not follow the holy will but let us enter the city with ulterior motives, then the danger that our army would continue to go deep alone would continue to grow," After seeing the situation in Fossil City with his own eyes, after half a day, Lin Xuanzhong thought of a lot of things.

"General Lin is right, there are many martial arts cultivators in Fossil City, although those people have never been to the battlefield, but they are all people who can participate in the battle with weapons at any time. If they deliberately let us in, after a few cities, the hidden danger in the rear of our army will only get bigger and bigger. At that time, if Emperor Yang breaks his promise and turns to send an edict to attack our army in various places to avenge their dead Yang people, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the night army that was under siege at that time to survive. ”

"But the generals don't have to worry too much, Emperor Yang is the lord of a country, since he has sent a secret letter to the Night Emperor, there must be no possibility of breaking his promise. It's just that at present, Emperor Yang is still in the country, and he has not led the courtiers to visit the night country to prove the reality of the alliance, so this matter has to be guarded against. ”

"Not to mention that Emperor Yang is not going to the Night Country, since the marshal has ordered us to rush to Meteorite City as soon as possible to confirm the alliance between Yang Kingdom and Night Country, our army should also march as soon as possible," In fact, Fang Quyin already had some doubts about Zhao Xu's letting them send troops to Meteorite City. In Fang Quyin's opinion, the danger of their trip even exceeded the benefits of the alliance between the Night Kingdom and the Yang Kingdom.

"If the marshal's instructions are correct, we should indeed escort those prisoners to Meteoric City to Emperor Yang as soon as possible, and at the same time confirm the matter of the alliance," mentioning Emperor Yang, it was not difficult for Lin Xuanzhong to think of Shi Jiangchuan and the others they were holding on this trip. Regardless of the identity of those people before, after the defeat, they all became criminals and sinners of the Yang Kingdom.

When Emperor Yang said that he wanted to ally with the Night Kingdom, Zhao Xu could only unconditionally escort Shi Jiangchuan and others to the Yang Kingdom to hand over to Emperor Yang for disposal, so escorting those people to Meteorite City was the second purpose of the Night Army's trip.

"It's not difficult to escort those prisoners to Meteorite City, it's just that it's easy for Yang Guo to come in and difficult to get out, and I will be a little uneasy," when analyzing the situation just now, Fang Quyin's face had not changed much, but now when it came to the overall situation, Fang Quyin's face was obviously a little more dignified, and that look directly made Lin Xuanzhong realize that Fang Quyin hoped to have a countermeasure that could ensure the safety of the night army's march.

It's a pity that for a while, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't think of any good ideas, so he could only learn to think of Zhao Xu when he usually held a meeting, and looked directly at the generals behind him and asked, "If you have any opinions, you might as well talk about it?"

Following what Lin Xuanzhong pointed out, Fang Quyin naturally looked at the generals behind him. Now that the two of them have made the problem clear, it is not inappropriate for the other generals to speak next.

"The last general thinks that it is not appropriate for our army to go straight to Meteorite City alone, it is better to wait for the Holy Lord to send another army from the Night Country to take care of each other before taking action. As for the problem of grain and grass during the garrison, it can be solved by Yangguo. ”

Under the attention of the two of them, a night army general immediately expressed his own thoughts, although his opinion was a little conservative, but it was indeed a countermeasure to deal with the current situation.

"If there is a garrison, what will happen to those prisoners?"

"It's better to let Emperor Yang send someone over to escort them away, there is no need to send them in person. ”

"Then what if Emperor Yang didn't deal with the prisoners after taking them away, but let those people lead the troops to deal with us?"

"The marshal and generals of the Yang army have been imprisoned by us and have suffered a lot of grievances, and I am afraid that their hatred for the Night Country is not easy to let go. If Emperor Yang himself is deceiving the marshal, it is inevitable that he will be suspected of letting those people go now. ”

After the first general offered to wait for reinforcements, several more generals presented their opinions accordingly, and it was not until the last man made a summary that everyone fell silent. The people who spoke just now were all direct generals of the Night Army, and those generals of the New Army didn't seem to have the right to speak, until Lin Xuanzhong and Fang Quyin looked at them deliberately.

"General Yu, the last general feels that he can allocate some troops to escort the prisoners to Yangdu and make a good handover with Emperor Yang, and the rest of the soldiers will be stationed in place in case of accidents," it was Ruan Yi who expressed his opinion at first, and Ruan Yi's initiative was unexpected, but what was even more unexpected was that Ruan Yi's suggestion seemed to be a wise move. Although those who go to Yangdu may face great risks, it will ensure the safety of the army.

"General Lin, what do you think?" Fang Quyin's eyes lit up, and he recognized Ruan Yi's suggestion.

"That's good, but one of you and I must go in person. Ben will be the new chief general, and his prestige is not enough, if Ben will pass, Emperor Yang is likely to feel that the night country is rude. If General Fang led people forward, once Emperor Yang broke his promise and took General Fang down, and in turn threatened our army, he would be worried about his own lack of ability, and he wouldn't know how to deal with it then?"

Ruan Yi's suggestion does sound good at first, but when you think about it, it is clear that there are many aspects of it that do not stand up to scrutiny.

"General Lin's analysis is very reasonable, if the troops are divided, the risk is indeed too great, and once an unexpected situation is encountered, it will inevitably affect the overall situation," nodded, Fang Quyin turned to look at Ruan Yi and the others, wanting to see if they had any other suggestions.
