Chapter 852: The Three Armies Expressed Their Position

When Shi Jiangchuan and the others were also surprised to think about why Lin Xuanzhong decided to stop the war against the will of the people, Lin Xuanzhong revealed a shocking news that Emperor Yang was actually controlled by the Qingyuan power. If what Lin Xuanzhong said was true, many people had already thought that maybe this was the main reason why Yangguo wanted to abandon them.

"General Lin, do you want to gamble on the fate of our 80,000 soldiers because of an uncertain gossip?" Lin Xuanzhong's method may work, but for the other party, Quyin's first news may not be true, and secondly, they have no time to complete Lin Xuanzhong's plan, so after a brief consideration, Fang Quyin would rather continue to attack the city than agree with Lin Xuanzhong's idea.

On the other hand, at first, the other generals still felt that Lin Xuanzhong's method had a certain feasibility, but when Fang Quyin clearly said that it was just uncertain news, they returned to Fang Quyin's camp one by one.

"General Fang is right, the general is going to gamble on the life and death of 80,000 soldiers today to bet on whether our army can survive the difficulties," the result was unexpected, Lin Xuanzhong's answer was even more jaw-dropping, no one expected that Lin Xuanzhong would really gamble the lives of 80,000 soldiers for an uncertain news. When Lin Xuanzhong gave such a straightforward answer, many generals couldn't hide the surprise on their faces, and some people were even surprised to think if Lin Xuanzhong was crazy.

"General Lin, have you ever thought about what the fate of our army will be if this news is just groundless? Or take a step back and say, our army's current situation is already extremely dangerous, and there is still a deeper hatred with Yang Guo than before, even if you can get away with helping Emperor Yang get out of trouble, will Emperor Yang still be willing to settle his old suspicions with our army?" Fang Quyin was extremely angry, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was laughing at Lin Xuanzhong's ridiculous thoughts, and as if he was hiding his own embarrassment.

When Fang Quyin analyzed the shortcomings of Lin Xuanzhong's method, the other generals looked at Lin Xuanzhong in surprise one by one, wondering why Lin Xuanzhong had such a fantastical idea. In the eyes of many people, war is not gambling, how can Lin Xuanzhong play with their fate like this, this is not the style that a master general should have, and some people even suspect that Lin Xuanzhong, who they have always admired and feared, is actually a frivolous and unrealistic person. Because they all felt that Fang Quyin's statement was more reasonable, they really didn't want to believe Lin Xuanzhong's words.

"It is impossible to distinguish the truth of the news, but what can be determined is that once the news is true, our people will be able to help Emperor Yang get out, and the crisis of our army will definitely be solved," Lin Xuanzhong knew that the most difficult moment had come, so his eyes became more determined.

"General Lin, do you really want to put the fate of the soldiers on a gamble?" Fang Quyin laughed angrily, he didn't know how at the critical moment, Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts would become so naïve, and he was so keen on a possibility that was smaller than the hope of success in the siege, or rather, Fang Quyin really didn't understand what Lin Xuanzhong's real purpose was in doing this. Now Lin Xuanzhong's behavior has brought ten times more incomprehension to Fang Quyin than when Lin Xuanzhong made his oath, and many times, Fang Quyin feels that what Lin Xuanzhong is saying now is not thinking at all.

"The method of defusing the crisis for our army is indeed a gamble, and there is little hope of success, but the siege of the city is not a gamble, don't you know that the siege war is the most difficult battle to fight? Presumably, when our army is attacking the city, our army will lose a large number of troops with just one round of enemy fire. ”

"Maybe the morale of our army is very strong, but it can't change some fundamental gaps, in the eyes of this general, the chance of success in the siege is even smaller than the possibility of this general rescuing Emperor Yang, do you think that the siege is really the only way?"

In fact, when he considered that when the decision to strike the war was proposed, there would definitely be people who opposed it, Lin Xuanzhong compared the two things of besieging the city and rescuing Emperor Yang, and the result was still more inclined to save Emperor Yang, because then at least no one would die before the result was obtained. In addition, after careful consideration, in Lin Xuanzhong's view, the forcible siege of the city is destined to be an egg hitting a stone, a senseless struggle, and the closure of the city is likely to have some preparations that they cannot consider, Lin Xuanzhong does not feel that relying on morale alone can change the outcome.

Of course, Fang Quyin's questioning is not unreasonable, and Lin Xuanzhong also doesn't feel that his ideas are right, he just wants to do it according to his own ideas.

"General Lin, you insist on letting the soldiers of the three armies change their original intentions and make a gamble with you, do you think the officers and men of the three armies will agree?" Fang Quyin shook his head, any of Lin Xuanzhong's justifications seemed empty in his opinion, because Lin Xuanzhong's starting point was unrealistic, and Fang Quyin could also see that Lin Xuanzhong seemed to have made up his mind, which made Fang Quyin give up the idea of persuading Lin Xuanzhong to turn back.

However, one thing Fang Quyin didn't expect was that perhaps objectively speaking, no one would be willing to change the plan to attack the city, but the subjective situation was completely different. Even if what Lin Xuanzhong said just now was a fantasy, as long as Lin Xuanzhong raised his arms at this moment, he would definitely respond to it, and more than ninety percent of the people in the front army would choose to starve to death with Lin Xuanzhong. Because in the eyes of those people, living and dying with Lin Xuanzhong was already better than everything, and Lin Xuanzhong's kindness to them before was worth them. If besieging the city meant death, then following Lin Xuanzhong was just a different way of dying for them.

In the rear army, those soldiers may not worship Lin Xuanzhong as fanatically as the previous army, but Lin Xuanzhong still has the ability to respond to them, because Lin Xuanzhong is also a miracle creator in their hearts, but Lin Xuanzhong went against their intuitive wishes and made many people a little difficult to accept, but their original determination to fight has been shaken.

"General Fang, the general's gamble may make our army lose the chance to fight last, but the general is willing to gamble everything the general has to maintain the dignity of the general. If the comparison fails, Ben will be willing to apologize for his sins with death," Lin Xuanzhong's words were loud, and after strongly expressing his attitude, Lin Xuanzhong resolutely said: "Ben will be the biggest enemy of Yangguo, at that time, I believe that Ben Jiang's death can eliminate many hatreds on Yang's side, and Ben will let Yangguo accept the surrender of our army before he dies." The more Lin Xuanzhong talked, the more crazy he became, and the more he talked, the calmer he became.

Under the strong emotional impact in his chest, Lin Xuanzhong felt that every word of his body was so powerful, and his soul trembled all the time.

"Soldiers, this general has the right to choose, you have the right to choose, now it is up to you to decide whether you want to follow this general, or continue to insist on fighting," Lin Xuanzhong slowly looked at those ordinary soldiers, the long columns, the different faces, and the puzzled eyes. At this moment, Lin Xuanzhong had forgotten why he was going to gamble so wildly, but Lin Xuanzhong clearly felt that there was hope of winning. But it wasn't himself who made Lin Xuanzhong feel this way, but Hong Yu, a person who could say that Lin Xuanzhong couldn't fully believe it.

No matter what the result was, Lin Xuanzhong had persevered to the end according to his own wishes, and his will to fight from beginning to end had not wavered. In the face of so many questioning eyes, Lin Xuanzhong's eyes were still so firm, so firm that there was no trace of emotion at all, exactly the same as when he came.

After seeing the faces of many soldiers in his eyes, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly felt how small and humble he was, but Lin Xuanzhong's face did not change. In fact, for a moment, Lin Xuanzhong felt frightened, and even regretfully thought that he should at least ask Fang Quyin and them to stop after persuading Shi Jiangchuan and the others. It's a pity that from the beginning, Lin Xuanzhong chose to go the other way, and now everything can't be changed.

If he couldn't persuade Shi Jiangchuan and the others to save Emperor Yang, Lin Xuanzhong would be discredited because of what he said just now. As Lin Xuanzhong himself said, this gamble has weighed him all. In the final analysis, Lin Xuanzhong also didn't know what he was trying to do with such paranoia, but he did it.

"We are willing to follow the general to the death. ”

"We are willing to follow the general to the death. ”

......

Not long after, starting from the former army formation area, when the people in the area reached an agreement under mutual reminders, they knelt down on one knee to Lin Xuanzhong one after another and expressed their decision to Lin Xuanzhong. Sure enough, when those people were really faced with a choice, they did not follow their inner reason, but made a decision directly out of admiration for Lin Xuanzhong, and many people didn't think about whether their choice was correct, they just made a choice.

In the blink of an eye, more than 20,000 people in the New Army area all knelt down on one knee to Lin Xuanzhong, and their opinions were very unanimous. Affected by the front army, those soldiers in the rear army area followed one by one to express their positions.

"We are willing to follow the general. ”

......

Just like the scene after Lin Xuanzhong took the oath on the high platform that day, many soldiers around the high platform bowed to Lin Xuanzhong. It seems that even though many people feel that they will starve to death, they still resolutely choose to follow Lin Xuanzhong, maybe Lin Xuanzhong didn't know that his appeal would be so great.

After all the soldiers around the high platform knelt down, many generals who were still hesitating how to choose bowed to Lin Xuanzhong, "We are willing to follow the generals to the death", a sentence directly indicating their decision.

When the generals beside him knelt down one after another, and in the blink of an eye, only one of them was still standing there, Fang Quyin realized how wrong his own thoughts were just now, it turned out that Lin Xuanzhong really had the ability to change other people's decisions, and it turned out that Lin Xuanzhong was not the only one who was crazy.
