946 Important Reminder

Although the people in the tent in front of him didn't sleep, they seemed to be a little presumptuous when they came by themselves, they just wanted to talk to Ruan Ming, and they stood there and hesitated for a long time before Lin Xuanzhong walked to the door of the tent.

"Ahem...... ahem" cleared his throat as a reminder, and then Lin Xuanzhong shouted inside, "Ruan Ming come out." ”

Maybe Lin Xuanzhong's arrival was a little abrupt, and there was no response in the house, but there was already movement in the voice. Turning his back, Lin Xuanzhong planned to wait for a while.

"General," I heard Lin Xuanzhong's voice just now, and after getting dressed and coming out, a familiar figure stood in front of me,

"We said as we walked," Without looking back, Lin Xuanzhong walked forward, "Why haven't you rested yet?"

"I was about to rest, I didn't expect the general to come over suddenly," Ruan Ming's tone was a little surprised, but it was still so gentle.

"You can walk around the camp with me," Ruan Ming's voice made Lin Xuanzhong feel more comfortable, and when he realized that he had not come wrong, Lin Xuanzhong already had a sense that his purpose had been achieved.

"En," he agreed softly, walking next to Lin Xuanzhong, Ruan Ming couldn't show his original temperament.

When they got to the guards and asked everyone not to follow, the two of them walked straight to an open area in front of them.

"Is there anything wrong with coming to me so late?" Ruan Ming's behavior became natural after getting rid of those guards.

"It's nothing, I just want to walk with you," Ruan Ming's change in tone made Lin Xuanzhong relax a lot.

"The general is worried about things in the army?" After a little further along, Ruan Ming finally thought of what to say.

"Well," he looked ahead, not knowing what time it was, the silence in the barracks was unusual. Except for those who were standing guard, there was no figure to be seen moving around, thinking that the soldiers in charge of patrolling should have gone elsewhere, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly remembered the time when he had just joined the army before. At that time, he was just a chief, and he didn't know anything about the affairs of the middle and upper echelons of the army, and he didn't have any troubles to talk about, but now everything has changed.

"Can the general talk to me about his thoughts? Although Ruan Ming does not have the ability of a general, he wants to share his worries and solve problems for the general. ”

Ruan Ming's words made Lin Xuanzhong feel a sense of déjà vu, and after thinking about it, Lin Xuanzhong directly remembered that Xue Yin had said the same thing at the beginning, but now was not the time to think about Xue Yin.

"What do you think about the puppet army?" Shaking his head, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to clear up his relationship with other women, and just wanted to stay with Ruan Ming quietly.

"The origin of the puppet army is unknown, I heard the great pharmacist say that although Rao Jun proposed to exchange hostages with the top brass of the puppet army, the general still can't determine whether those puppet soldiers are sincere or instructed by others," did not rush to express his opinion, Ruan Ming first explained what he knew.

"That's true, those puppet troops came at a different time, and there were many people in the army who questioned their purpose for defecting to the Blue Army, and I couldn't make up my mind, but the matter of the puppet army was imminent, and if we couldn't make a decision as soon as possible, the morale of the army would definitely be greatly affected. ”

"The general is in a hurry to give an explanation to the people below but doesn't know how to make a decision?"

"What do you think I should do?" nodded, Lin Xuanzhong had no need to deny Ruan Ming's speculation.

"In fact, whether it is me, or so many generals in the army, or even the marshal who is about to come, our opinions do not matter, only the general's own thoughts are important. ”

"What do you mean?"

"If there are only a few hundred puppet soldiers who come to defect, if there are tens of thousands of puppet soldiers who come to defect, if the generals below are not opposed to accepting the puppet army, then what will the generals choose?" After the three ifs, Ruan Ming asked the question he wanted to ask.

"I don't know," Ruan Ming's inquiry made Lin Xuanzhong's mind confused, and when he thought that he also had a rejection of those puppet soldiers, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't answer Ruan Ming one by one.

"The general doesn't have to think too much, in fact, what Ruan Ming wants to say is that the general can not care about everyone's thoughts, as long as he does it according to his own will," Although he couldn't see Lin Xuanzhong's face, Ruan Ming could hear that Lin Xuanzhong's mood was in turmoil from Lin Xuanzhong's voice. The current Lin Xuanzhong can be understood as a person who has been crushed by pressure and lost his square inch, or it can be said that Lin Xuanzhong's ability is limited after all.

I don't know how Lin Xuanzhong felt about his statement, but without waiting for Lin Xuanzhong to speak, Ruan Ming continued to ask: "Do you still remember how the general treated the 40,000 new troops in Yangguo?"

"Yes. ”

"Does the general remember the deal with General Shi that day?"

"I remember, too. ”

"I wonder if the general took into account other people's feelings when he did these two things, and how did he treat other people's feelings?"

"This," hesitated for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, Lin Xuanzhong recalled the situation mentioned by Ruan Ming, and then continued: "You know those things, why do you still ask me now, is it just to remind me that other people's opinions are not important?"

"The ideas of other people are important, but the most important thing is the ideas of the generals. In the matter of the puppet army, if our opinion goes against the will of the general, presumably even if the vast majority of people have the opposite opinion with the general, the general will not care about what these people think, so the general does not have to waste time on some things that cannot be changed, and it is more appropriate to focus on the overall situation. ”

originally thought that Ruan Ming wanted to turn a blind eye to other people's opinions like before, and only act according to his own will, but Ruan Ming's final emphasis made Lin Xuanzhong realize that his own thinking was too narrow. There have been a long number of soldiers trapped in the puppet army, and they have always regarded this matter as the biggest problem at present, and in the past two days, they have not been able to consider the overall situation as a whole. As an army leader, his thoughts were indeed too rigid in the past, maybe Ruan Ming's reminder could not bring practical help, but at least he opened his mind, thinking about it like this, Lin Xuanzhong felt more and more that what Ruan Ming said was very reasonable.

"In the past, there were few people in the army, maybe the general felt that it was easier in terms of decision-making, but now there are a lot of people in the army, maybe the general feels that it is more difficult in decision-making than before, but I don't know if the general considers the difference between the life and death of 200,000 people and the life and death of tens of thousands of people, and what is the difference between the current general and the previous general?"

"This," hesitated again for Ruan Ming's question, Lin Xuanzhong always felt that Ruan Ming's words contained a great truth, but he didn't know if he was stupid, and he couldn't figure out what the truth was for a while.

"Does the general know why Ruan Ming and the soldiers in his headquarters would trust the general desperately?"

"Because I'm good to them?"

"So to speak, but the real reason is that they have put more trust in the general than in themselves, and they all think that all the general's considerations are for their own good. ”

"Aren't they afraid that this time I'll let them down?"

"They are not afraid, they are willing to support any decision of the general. ”

"What the hell do you want to say?" Ruan Ming said more, the more Lin Xuanzhong didn't understand.

"If even the general doesn't believe in himself, this war will be difficult to fight, the general's will can be wrong, but it must be absolute, no one can affect the general, whether it is the marshal above or the general below, only in this way is the general who is worthy of everyone's trust. ”

After doing so much foreshadowing, in the end, Ruan Ming just told Lin Xuanzhong again that he didn't have to care about all the influences of the outside world and had to do it according to his own will. As long as this is the case, Lin Xuanzhong is the real Lin Xuanzhong, the Lin Xuanzhong who can be a maverick in the crowd. Ruan Ming's words may be too subjective, but the meaning of the expression is clearer because of it.

may have experienced too many things and come into contact with too many people, Lin Xuanzhong almost forgot what kind of person he was. Ruan Ming's repeated reminders did make Lin Xuanzhong think of some things, and the more he tried to understand himself, the more Lin Xuanzhong understood the deep meaning that Ruan Ming wanted to express. After a long silence, Lin Xuanzhong finally figured out that Ruan Ming wanted to think completely from his own point of view.

If Lin Xuanzhong stood in front of a locked door without a key before, then now Lin Xuanzhong undoubtedly has an extra key in his hand, and this key is what Ruan Ming just said.

"I understand," glancing at a tent in front of him, he didn't know how far the two had walked, and now Lin Xuanzhong only felt more sober than when he came.

"Thank you, General, for understanding Ruan Ming. ”

"It should be me thanking you," the feeling in his heart kept flooding like ripples, and his mind was full of thoughts, and Lin Xuanzhong didn't know what to say at this moment.

"It's good that the general can understand, Ruan Ming will always support the general," If Lin Xuanzhong can no longer be upset because of himself, Ruan Ming feels that he can do more for Lin Xuanzhong.

"Let's go back," Seeing that there were more and more tents in front of him, and the snoring of soldiers could be heard, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to go any further.

"Okay," Ruan Ming agreed, and the two turned around and walked back directly.

On the way back, both of them showed a lot of ease. After sending Ruan Ming back, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't wait to return to his residence, ready to think through all the issues to be dealt with. In front of the beating lights, Lin Xuanzhong, who was sitting at the table, slowly sorted out his thoughts, and then began to think about things in the army.

Starting from the current situation in the barracks, there are now a total of 200,000 troops with the wounded, of which 80,000 can be called elites, and the loyalty of 80,000 elites does not need to be considered, and the remaining 120,000 are the former valley army and recently recruited recruits, so there is no need to think too much about the degree of loyalty, but the combat strength still depends on the morale of the army.
