Chapter 29: Don't dare to move
Mu Fan said: "Yuntui City is besieged, and only two armies have the ability to rescue it recently. ”
"General Night, you may have counted one more, the Right Army is not capable of helping." Ding Chen sighed.
The other generals standing in the big tent also wanted to speak, but they were scolded back by Mu Fan's eyes. They swallowed their saliva and set their eyes on Ding Chen.
"General Ding, you have thought about it, it is definitely worth it to rescue Yunchui City." Mu Fan stepped forward and said with a serious expression.
Ding Chen waved his hand and said: "My march to fight is not a business, no matter what is worth it or not, the morale of the right army is low, and it is not capable of rescuing Yunchui City." If you want to talk about why the morale of the right army is low, General Night should know best. ”
Xie Fu died, and the death of the commander had an immeasurable impact on an army. It has been a lot of waste of time to send Xie Fu to the soil for peace, coupled with the long-term absence from the hometown and the long-term lack of food, it is strange that the morale of the right army can be high under the repeated blows.
Mu Fan said: "Are you unwilling? ”
"There is no order from above, you and I are equal, and no one can order anyone." Ding Chen's words make a lot of sense, and this is indeed the case. It is taboo to mobilize troops without authorization, and the laws are clearly written one by one.
"General Night, you have made a lot of contributions recently, and I am afraid that you will be promoted when you go back, but Ding has to remind you, don't be complacent because you have achieved some achievements at a young age."
The words are not rough, if Ding Chen says a little tactfully, it can be regarded as the advice of the elders to the younger generations. However, his tone was a little strange, and it sounded more like a high-profile lesson, which made people a little uncomfortable.
Mu Fan said: "This time the imperial court is fighting on two fronts, one side against the demon clan, and the other side to attack Yuntui City. Now there is an army of the demon clan sneaking here, and the news from the front line can be concluded that the demon clan has made a bloody investment this time. As long as you help Yunchui City withstand the attack of the demon clan and give the other line time, it is possible to create the best situation since the start of the war. ”
He said everything from the bottom of his heart, or when he fought with the Western Frontier, he would think about sparing some people's lives, but when he fought against the demon clan, he had no compassion!
Ding Chen is right, whether it is in Beihua, Dongze, or Western Xinjiang, it is against the law for the general to mobilize the army without authorization. If the circumstances are serious, the emperor will cut it when he says it. If you don't get mixed up with Lin Shuai, it's risky to do so.
Mu Fan's eyes were on the entire battle situation, and from the overall situation, it was the best strategy to hold back this demon army besieging Yunchui City. Once the opportunity is missed, it is hard to find.
Seeing that Ding Chen was unmoved, he raised his voice and continued: "We are not going to rescue Yunchui City, and Yunchui City cannot be lost, and the imperial court cannot have two choices. One is to order us to come to the rescue, and the other is to send troops to arrive. ”
"Then wait for the order from above." Ding Chen's attitude was very resolute.
Mu Fan frowned, he didn't want to lose such an opportunity, "General Ding, if the imperial court sends another army over, the army will rush to help, and gallop all the way to Yuntui City, but the demon clan will wait for work. If the imperial court sends us to do it, waiting for the imperial court's order to be issued, back and forth, it will be a waste of time, and the situation of the war will change rapidly. The enemy of the demon clan attacked Yuntui City, and the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed, and it was difficult to recapture Yuntui City. ”
Ding Chen was slightly moved, and the expressions of the other people in the big tent also changed slightly. It was not that no one among those present thought of this, but no one openly raised it. Because this move is too risky, it is certainly a great merit, but it fails, it is a big cauldron.
A third-grade general can't afford to carry this kind of pot, and if he is not careful, his head will not have to run, and his family's head will have to fall to the ground.
Seeing that it was effective, Mu Fan took a deep breath and said: "What is happening in Yunchui City will affect the entire battle situation, we not only have to help Yunchui City defend, but also try our best to hold back the demon clan army outside Yunchui City, so that the initiative will be in our hands......"
Lao Niu didn't understand this, he saw that the general was talking very seriously, and he saw the other people in the big tent listening carefully, and guessed that these words were very reasonable. He was particularly envious of this talent of the general, and heard that only those who possessed this talent could become a great general. Because he doesn't have this ability, he can only be a pro-soldier. On second thought, it's good to be a general's personal soldier.
After Mu Fan finished speaking, he moistened his throat, looked at everyone, and said, "It must be dangerous to do this, many of us have families." I'm alone, so I don't have so many worries about making decisions. Having said that, you know the pros and cons, how to decide, let's talk about it. ”
The big tent became very quiet, the lights flickered, the figures swayed with the swaying of the lights, and everyone's shadows were like duckweed, erratic. Unlike duckweed, the shadows are attached to the soles of the feet.
Ding Chen didn't speak, and the people in the big tent watched, waiting for the first person to speak. Mu Fan was also waiting, but no one spoke, everyone just stood quietly in place, everyone was cautious, for fear of making a movement to attract everyone's attention.
Lao Niu felt very strange, it seemed that he was affected by the atmosphere in the big tent, and he also chose to be silent. No, he obviously wanted to roar twice, asking why these people were dumb.
Mu Fan turned around, everyone is not a lonely ghost, they have to consider their wives and children before making a decision, in the face of their lives, they would rather delay the fighter. This is human nature, think about it from another perspective, if he is in the position of Ding Chen and others, I am afraid he will not make a particularly rash move.
"Let's go, old cow."
Lao Niu sighed and followed Mu Fan out of the big tent.
Mu Fan summoned the flying sword, Lao Niu followed and summoned the flying sword, two sword lights flashed in the sky, and the two had disappeared into the area where the right army was camped.
In the air, the old cow was still silent, as if he had not yet detached from that environment.
Mu Fan said suddenly: "I have something to do, don't follow me later." ”
"Huh?"
"Didn't you hear?"
Lao Niu hurriedly nodded and said, "I heard it." ”
Mu Fan turned around and didn't know where he went.
Lao Niu was strange in his heart, he felt that the general had gone to see Ding Chen, but as for why he thought so, he didn't know.
I have to say that Lao Niu's intuition is quite accurate, Mu Fan went to see Ding Chen, not a bright and bright meeting, but a sneaky meeting.
The big tent of the right army, when Mu Fan and Lao Niu left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. To fight or not to fight is a very difficult question to decide, especially at this sensitive time. It is not good to know that it is not good to fight, but it is not good to be mixed up if you do not know how to fight.
Lin Shuai and the emperor seized power, and some people in the army defected to the emperor, which is almost a semi-open secret. Therefore, after the power at the top, you may win the battle and move your head. Privately mobilizing the army to go to war can be described as a great handle, whether it is Lin Shuai or the emperor, with this article, he can kill people at any time.
Who is Mu Fan? Mu Fan was the one who was stabbed by Lin Shuai, no matter whether he defected to the emperor or not, Lin Shuai could kill him by mobilizing the army privately, and the emperor might not be able to keep it if he wanted to. Ding Chen and others are tired of being alive, so they will meddle in this kind of thing.
