Chapter 769: Ask the Generals

"Marshal, General Fang and General Lin have been trapped on the march, do you want them to bring some people back quickly before the rain continues to get heavier," the harsh winter has just gone, and the spring rain is coming again, Lan Feng is worried that the tents are not enough, and today's rain will make many soldiers who are drenched in the rain sick, so it may be better if some people can be transferred back.

"No, there is no possibility of returning if the army has not achieved its goal, so let's wait for the rain to stop. ”

"But I don't know when the rain will stop? If it keeps raining, I'm worried that the cold wave will come again and the soldiers will get sick. ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, our night army is not so weak, and they carry a lot of camp tents," Lan Feng's worry is not unreasonable, this spring rain came too early, if it rains too long, the soldiers who have just taken off their winter clothes may indeed get sick, but the night army has even survived the harsh winter, Zhao Xu is not worried that the night army will have problems, and Fang Quyin did apply for more tents before.

"Now that the marshal has made arrears arrangements, Lan Feng won't ask more about this matter. Our army has occupied Yicheng for a few days, and I don't know when the marshal plans to send troops to the southern cities and the flying kingdoms in the southwest?" Nodding, Lan Feng no longer thought about letting those 100,000 soldiers return to the city, and instead mentioned their next plan of action.

"Our army is currently limited in strength, and when General Zhang arrives from Fancheng with a large army, he only needs to fully occupy the cities in the south as soon as possible, and then recruit and train troops on a large scale. ”

"The Flying Kingdom has not given us an answer for a long time in exchanging Tie Xin and others, it seems that the Flying Emperor has planned to give up those defeated generals, I wonder what the marshal intends to do with those people?"

"Don't let go or kill, the people of Yangguo have been taken away by General Fang, and it is not a problem to leave those who fly to the country. Since Feiguo has not given Ben Shuai an accurate answer, Ben Shuai has no choice but to keep those people in lockdown, "Regarding the life and death of Tie Xin and others, Zhao Xu has long thought about it, the key now is not how easy it is to execute or let go of those people, but the value of those people's existence."

The Tie family is a big wealthy family in the Flying Country, and it is also a family of military commanders, although Tie Xin is the general of the defeated army, which disgraces the Fei Country and disgraces the Tie Family, the life and death of Tie Xin is still not something that the Fei Emperor can decide, and there are still a few people from the Tie Family among the main generals, and those people also make the Fei Country lose face, but after all, they have the support of the Tie Family behind them, and the Tie Family is reluctant to let these clansmen die in the Wing Country in vain, so in terms of how to deal with Tie Xin and others, it once led to contradictions between the monarchs and ministers.

The ministers are in charge, in the past, the Feiguo royal family relied too much on the Tie family, and now the Tie family has brought a lot of problems to the Feiguo royal family. Now the flying country is considered to be internal and external troubles, on the one hand, we have to consider the price of returning Tiexin and others, and on the other hand, we have to consider how to deal with the conquest of the night country. In terms of exchanging Tie Xin and others, no matter how they think about it, they can't ignore the value of Tie Xin and others.

It is easy to elect a new commander, but it is difficult to find a person with rich qualifications like Tie Xin, once Tie Xin and the others die, the military strength of the Flying Country will be greatly hit, so it will be disadvantageous for them to negotiate with the Qingyuan Great Power in the future, or negotiate with the Night Country, so how to deal with Tie Xin and the others is a big problem for the Flying Country.

"Did the marshal think that the Flying Country would agree to our conditions sooner or later?" After getting Zhao Xu's statement that he did not plan to go to the Flying Country, Lan Feng was immediately puzzled by this.

"It's a possibility, but that's not what Ben Marshal cares about. ”

"Please also ask the marshal for advice," Zhao Xu's meaningful words made Lan Feng think that Zhao Xu's move must have some kind of intention, but he couldn't figure it out himself, so he immediately humbly asked for advice.

"It's easy to kill those people, but our actions will attract the hatred of many Feiguo clans, and when the time comes, those clans will share the same hatred and hatred, unite with the Feiguo royal clan, and advocate revenge under the instigation of the Qingyuan Great Power, which will inevitably have a strong impact on the current situation. ”

"Although the commander is not afraid of the military power of the flying country, but our army has fought repeatedly, and today he has divided part of his troops to fight against the country, although there is still spare strength, but unfortunately the situation in the territory is not stable, so the current strength is not sufficient, and it is impossible to divide the energy to deal with the flying country. ”

Zhao Xu didn't explain much, but the meaning he wanted to express was already very obvious, that is, killing Tie Xin and the others would not do them any good.

On the other side, with Lan Feng's mind, it was not difficult to figure out what Zhao Xu's words meant, their troops in front of them seemed to be a lot, but they were actually not sufficient. And it's not that they can't kill Tie Xin and the others, but they can't kill them, because the stakes are too great.

"What does the marshal mean is not to kill those Feiguo captives, in order to use the life and death of those people to contain the Feiguo, so that they will hesitate on the issue of trade, so that they will not have time to seek revenge on us, so that we can recuperate and stabilize the rule of the Wing Country as soon as possible?" After understanding what Zhao Xu was trying to express, some questions that he had not seen through before were now clear to Lan Feng.

The royal family of the Wing Kingdom does exist in name only, but the royal power in various places still exists, and it is not certain whether those royal family relatives are willing to return to the Night Kingdom, once someone rebels, they are bound to send people to quell the chaos. In addition, they may send troops to Yang in the future, and the troops they can really use are indeed limited.

Based on the current overall situation, they still have a lot to do in terms of the complete annexation of the Wing States, and they need manpower, but there are not many credible personnel. If the hatred of the Flying Kingdom was attracted during the attack on Yangguo, it would be harmful to them, so letting the whole Wing Kingdom be busy dealing with Tiexin's matter, so that they had no energy to deal with the Night Army, and giving them a chance to breathe, was the real reason why Zhao Xu wanted to keep Tiexin and the others alive.

"What Your Highness said is extremely true, at present, we must make every effort to prevent the Flying Kingdom from interfering with the smooth expansion of the Night Country. ”

The next time, Zhao Xu's affirmative answer allowed Lan Feng to directly confirm some of his own speculations.

"The marshal is wise, Lan Feng admires," when he realized that Zhao Xu's consideration was far beyond his own knowledge, Lan Feng praised him from the bottom of his heart.

"His Royal Highness has won the award, Ben Shuai is just doing his duty," thinking of Zhao Wu who was far away in the Night Kingdom, and then thinking that his skills were all taught by Zhao Wu, Lan Feng's praise, Zhao Xu couldn't accept it.

"The marshal doesn't have to be too humble, the marshal was born and died for the night country, and has made countless contributions, Lan Feng will definitely play the marshal's merits carefully," After Zhao Xu's explanation just now, Lan Feng finally understood some of the situation in front of him, so it is impossible to say enough to praise Zhao Xu.

"Your Highness is too famous," replied simply, Zhao Xu didn't want to be polite with Lan Feng anymore, and instead paid attention to returning to the next question. Because of a rain, they had to wait for Zhang Dang to lead the army over, and on the other hand, they had to wait for Fang Quyin to leave with the troops. Although they have survived a harsh winter with great hardship, but now it seems that early spring is not as simple as imagined, if they want to go on with the current situation, Zhao Xu feels that they must not be careless in one step.

Putting aside the discussion between Lan Feng and Zhao Xu, the recruit camp is there. "Lord Xue Yin, when do you say this rain will fall?" After considering some of the situation in Yang Kingdom, Lin Xuanzhong's attention shifted to Xue Yin next to him. There are so many generals waiting below, Lin Xuanzhong's name for Xue Yin can't be too casual.

"The clouds are thin and the rain is light, and according to the snow, the rain will stop tonight. ”

"Was that the first half of the night or the second half of the night?"

"Into the night. ”

Xue Yin's answer is extremely simple, if according to Zhao Xue Yin, today's rain will only rain the next one. According to the current rain, the road should be able to march in two days, but whether it is really possible to march still needs to be asked, after all, there are still so many ordnance, and those siege engines are not just pushed away.

"Do any of you know when the rain will stop after dark, when will I be able to leave?" Since there is a ready-made person in front of him, Lin Xuanzhong can just ask for advice, otherwise he will have to go to Fang Quyin to discuss.

"The rain has fallen for three hours, and the precipitation is less than an inch, and according to the general's opinion, the army can march in two days, but our army may have to wait for half a day more with large siege equipment," meeting Lin Xuanzhong's gaze, a former general of the Wing Kingdom City Guard hesitated for a long time before replying.

"What's your name?"

"The last general, Zhou Wenfeng. ”

"Well," nodding to the general, Lin Xuanzhong looked at the others and asked, "Are there any dissenting opinions?"

"The last general agreed with General Zhou's point of view," and the next time, a general next to Zhou Wenfeng stepped forward.

"What's your name?" The person who spoke was obviously in the same camp as Zhou Wenfeng, although he came forward to support Zhou Wenfeng, but Zhou Wenfeng's answer was indeed very reasonable.

"The last general, Zhou Wenmo, is Zhou Wenfeng's brother," Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong also asked about his name, the man replied without hesitation.

"Well," nodded, a flash of surprise flashed in Lin Xuanzhong's eyes, if it wasn't for the other party taking the initiative to explain, he really couldn't see that those two people who looked very different were actually a pair of brothers.

"Does anyone else have an opinion?" After getting to know the two brothers, Lin Xuanzhong's attention returned to the others. Since he wanted to know more, he naturally wanted to listen to the opinions of these people, of course, Lin Xuanzhong never doubted Xue Yin's statement at all.

"General, if it is true that the rain will stop at night as the Great Medicine Master speculated, then based on the current rain, the last general feels that it is indeed possible to march in two days, but the initial march speed may be very slow," under Lin Xuanzhong's continued inquiry, another general chose to stand up after hesitating for a long time. Although the answer given was similar to Zhou Wenfeng's answer, it still let Lin Xuanzhong know some more things.

Now that the three of them have made the same guess, plus their own inference, the time of the march has been roughly set for the time being, and next, Lin Xuanzhong has to think about what he can do in the two days he stays here.
