Chapter 855: Pondering

"Hmph, don't wait for me to get close," Seeing Lin Xuanzhong suddenly put on a smiling face, some people showed that they were not used to seeing it. Just now, Lin Xuanzhong made them uncomfortable with a calm attitude, and now Lin Xuanzhong put on a smiling face, which also made some people uncomfortable.

"Come on, go get some food," didn't care about the unhappiness of the main general, Lin Xuanzhong just felt that he should respect the other party more. In order to repay their lord and admit their mistakes, it is not easier for the other party to endure humiliation and bear the burden until now, which is not easier than leading 80,000 soldiers.

However, in the eyes of Shi Jiangchuan and others, it is not easy for Lin Xuanzhong to laugh at this moment. Not to mention whether the deal between the two sides can be fulfilled, just after they leave, stabilizing the military situation is a huge problem for Lin Xuanzhong, not to mention that not long ago they still watched Lin Xuanzhong take all the pressure together. Lin Xuanzhong's reckless behavior is no longer enough to describe stupidity, but it is shocking that so many people have accepted Lin Xuanzhong's stupidity, in fact, this is the real key.

"General, do you really want to let them go?" While Chang Siyuan and the others helped Shi Jiangchuan and the others wash, change clothes and deliver food according to Lin Xuanzhong's instructions, Zhang Jiutian and Fang Quyin and the others waited with Lin Xuanzhong, and now the person who asked was Zhang Jiutian, until now, Zhang Jiutian didn't want to believe that Lin Xuanzhong had actually completed a deal with the prisoner they had been detaining, a deal that might not exist, no matter from which point of view, the possibility of this deal being reached was very small.

"General Zhang, you still think about how to solve the food problem in the army, try to help the general delay for a longer time, you don't have to worry about the transaction," Looking at a mountain range from afar, Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts were already on what happened after Shi Jiangchuan and the others left.

"This ......" Zhang Jiutian's expression froze, not dissatisfied with Lin Xuanzhong's evasion, but too surprised by Lin Xuanzhong's foresight, Zhang Jiutian could see from Lin Xuanzhong's reply that what Lin Xuanzhong was thinking about now was not what he asked.

When Zhang Jiutian was surprised by Lin Xuanzhong's answer, the other generals had already considered the issue of grain and grass in their army according to Lin Xuanzhong's instructions. After this morning's uproar, the remaining grain and grass in the army will definitely not last for four days. If there was no good news within three days, they might have to wait to starve to death on the fourth day, Lin Xuanzhong's question was too serious, serious enough to remind them of whether Lin Xuanzhong's previous decision to let them not fight was right or wrong, and of course Lin Xuanzhong could no longer take into account their thoughts.

After a stick of incense, Shi Jiangchuan and others finished tidying up. After taking the antidote, filling their stomachs, and changing into clean clothes, although their strength has not fully recovered, their temperament has changed greatly, after all, they were all powerful people before. Because of the long distance to Meteorite City, some people still have baggage on their backs, and the baggage contains the rations on their way and the coils they need to use after arriving in Meteorite City, and the cost of more than twenty people is naturally not small, but there is no shortage of jade in the army, all in all, Lin Xuanzhong is doing his best to help them prepare, and as soon as it is delivered, it will be sent several miles away.

"General Lin, you don't need to send more, I'll wait for the next road to go by myself," because the purpose is clear, the temperament of Shi Jiangchuan and the others has also changed a lot.

"Then come here, then General Chang and Hong Yu will go with you, if you have no objections, I will go back. ”

Following what Lin Xuanzhong pointed out, some people looked at Chang Siyuan and Hong Yu who came with Lin Xuanzhong, to say that Lin Xuanzhong sent several generals to accompany them, after all, Lin Xuanzhong might need someone to convey the news, but when they noticed Hong Yu, they were a little puzzled. Because Hong Yu's strength is too low, some people even feel that Hong Yu may affect their actions.

"General Lin, you are reluctant to send a few more generals to accompany us, why do you want to send a small scout to accompany us?" As a result, because of doubts, some people really questioned Lin Xuanzhong for this.

"Your Excellency, it is impossible to say that, don't look at Hong Yu's low strength, but Hong Yu is smart and clever, and Hong Yu's ordinariness is good for you to find out the news and help you do some things," When thinking about why Hong Yu was able to bring back useful news, Lin Xuanzhong thought that Hong Yu was good at knowing the way on the one hand.

On the other hand, Hong Yu's low strength is difficult to attract attention, which is an important reason to ensure Hong Yu's safety, so Lin Xuanzhong decided to let Hong Yu go not only because of Hong Yu's attention, but also because of Hong Yu's ability, and Lin Xuanzhong did not want to pay attention to the situation of the two parties at any time in the next few days, so it was enough to send two people to accompany him.

"I see, but I didn't think it through," the questioning general smiled awkwardly, and after thinking that it was indeed easier for Hong Yu to do something than for them to do it themselves, the master general did not shy away from admitting his mistake.

"General Lin, take care," On the other side, as the commander of one side, after Lin Xuanzhong sent them such a long way, Shi Jiangchuan spoke again.

"I hope that the next time we meet, I will be able to learn martial arts with everyone," If it weren't for the urgency of time, or if the relationship between the two sides was still very stiff, Lin Xuanzhong hoped to have a fight with Shi Jiangchuan and learn something, but now, Lin Xuanzhong only hoped that these people could help solve the problem as soon as possible.

After sending Shi Jiangchuan and the others away from the secret route, Lin Xuanzhong had to face a more serious problem next. Four days to remove the two days back and forth to Meteor City, whether the remaining two days can be enough for those people to solve the problem is exactly the miracle that Lin Xuanzhong needs. However, the accuracy of the news about Emperor Yang's trap can not be missed, but the problems in the military camp are very realistic, and it is not difficult for Lin Xuanzhong to think that from now on, I am afraid that the next day will be one day and three autumns.

He could have shared the pressure, but considering that the strike was his own decision, Lin Xuanzhong felt that he had to shoulder the burden. Having said that, in fact, until now, Lin Xuanzhong didn't understand whether he was bent on going his own way and going against the wishes of the people for himself or for others, and what was the point?

All the way back to the camp in a daze, Lin Xuanzhong unexpectedly saw that the entire barracks were not a little angry, and the listless faces of those soldiers made people feel powerless, but Lin Xuanzhong knew that he could not be affected by them, some things should be done or done, and he had to ensure that the inside and outside of the barracks were relatively stable in the next four days. Before the last moment, the army must not be allowed to collapse early, and at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the blockade and the sword city will not be attacked in advance.

In terms of ensuring that the army would not be attacked, Lin Xuanzhong felt that the prisoners who were still held could play a role. Thinking of Zhao Xu's intention when he decided to detain those personnel of the Flying Country, Lin Xuanzhong planned to do the same.

After returning to the big tent, Lin Xuanzhong directly asked Zhang Jiutian to count the names and origins of dozens of prisoners, and then informed the two cities of the situation of those hostages in the hands of the night army according to the different origins, and asked Sword City and Fengcheng to send some grain and grass to exchange those hostages within three days, otherwise they would execute all those prisoners.

There were many ordinary martial cultivators among those prisoners, but there were also high-level martial cultivators, and I believe that the conditions they proposed were worthy of consideration by the other party. Of course, regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, Lin Xuanzhong's main purpose is not to let the other party send some grain and grass, but just bluff to tell the other party that they still have food and grass that can last for at least three days.

Originally, Lin Xuanzhong's practice of exchanging those hostages for food and grass would make the other party suspicious, but out of the other party's jealousy of the night army, this kind of remark greatly increased the credibility, because sometimes the more suspicious it is, the more believable it is.

The message was conveyed very smoothly, and it will take time to determine the outcome. After explaining the matter of exchanging hostages for grain and grass, Lin Xuanzhong patrolled around the two camps again.

Because of the need to save military rations, most of the soldiers start by saving physical strength, so at the moment many people are resting quietly, of course, some people gather in groups of three or five to talk and laugh, looking more relaxed.

After confirming that the situation in the barracks was quite stable, the feeling of burning fire in his stomach made Lin Xuanzhong not in the mood to practice, and after returning to the big tent, he unfolded the topographical map of Yangguo, and Lin Xuanzhong observed it carefully. The map is full of intertwined mountains, and if there are mountains, there will naturally be fierce beasts. If nothing else, there should have been a problem of animal plague in many places in Yangguo now, and animal plague is an inevitable problem brought about by war and cannot be controlled by manpower.

Yang Guo now has to deal with the night army on the one hand, and the fierce beasts on the other, the current situation is a challenge for a country that has lost most of its army. There will be many innocent sacrifices to get through this period, and if some bandit organizations stir up trouble, the situation of Yangguo will be even worse than imagined. Maybe it's not a big problem right now, but when it gets bigger, it may be too late.

After carefully looking at the topographical map of Yangguo, Lin Xuanzhong then thought about what the outside world would be, what Yangguo's neighbors or those big countries were doing, and finally thought of a place that he didn't want to think about.

There is a North Ridge north of the North Barren Mountain Range, and there are many ownerless cities around the North Ridge, and those ownerless cities will definitely become the object of occupation by many countries. In the past, when I heard Qingyi talk about the situation over there, the Beiling area was encountering a once-in-a-century beast tide. That beast tide was caused by the Black Jiao Crossing Tribulation, the scale was too large, I am afraid that after the beast tide, those cities in the North Ridge will suffer a huge impact, so that they will lose their ability to resist the outside world, and then whether it is facing the armies of some countries, or the desolate wolf organization that is rampant in that area, I am afraid that they will not have the power to fight back.
