Chapter 303: Standing by and Watching

For the central army of the wood country, Lin Haotian carried out a reorganization, he originally planned to put these forces into the fifth army corps, but the strength of the fifth army was close to 100,000, and the central army of the wood country was more than 100,000 people, and the two armies together exceeded 200,000 people, which was far beyond the establishment of the legion.

After careful consideration, Lin Haotian decided to establish the Sixth Army Corps, from top to bottom, all of which were composed of the Central Army of the Wood Country, and the difference between the Fifth Army Corps was that the commander of the Sixth Army was also a Muren, and Lin Haotian only ordered Bai Phosphorus to serve as the deputy commander.

The commander of the Sixth Army was named Mu Wu, a middle-aged general in his early forties. This person came from a humble background, and was slowly promoted from the lowest soldier to the general of the wooden army, and he also made several great achievements in the battle of Jiangxi between the two countries.

The reason why Lin Haotian reused him was not because this person was loyal to Jin Guo, but because he valued his personal ability.

In Lin Haotian's opinion, it is enough for him to have the Fifth Legion, which is a difficult cannon fodder legion, and there is no need for another one, he hopes that the Sixth Legion can really become a combat fighting corps, then the position of commander will become very important, and it must be filled by a person who understands the Wood Army, is familiar with the Wood Army and has superior strength.

He chose and chosen, and discussed with Chu Lianyu again and again before deciding to appoint Mu Wu.

Before returning to China, Lin Haotian handed over the original Third Army under Dou Bo's command to Lu Kai, and let Lu Kai lead the Third Army to stay in Mudi.

In this way, first, he can suppress the rebel forces of the Muren, and second, he has a deeper consideration, if necessary, the Third Army can go all the way south from Mudi, as a surprise army, cooperate with the battlefield of the Jin State, and flank the combined forces of You Yan and Yan.

Left behind the Third Army Corps. Lin Haotian only took the fourth, fifth, and sixth legions. Speaking from the heart, the combat effectiveness of the Central Army of the Wood Country is still not weak, especially in terms of arrow shooting, it is unique in the world, and it is very suitable for defense, and Lin Haotian wants to resist the coalition forces of the two countries. This legion of 100,000 men is needed.

These things are easy to say, but they are not easy to do, every resolution requires Lin Haotian to think carefully and carefully, a mistake may lead to unimaginable consequences, for several days, he will not sleep more than two hours a day, and the whole person looks a lot thinner. In his senses, dealing with post-war affairs is more tiring than fighting.

However, there is also good news these days.

The first thing that made Lin Haotian feel a little relieved was that the Red Kingdom did not participate in the alliance to defeat the Jin Kingdom.

The reason why Shi Huai was able to withstand the pressure of the two powerful countries and to resist public opinion internally was that He Hao, the envoy of the Jin State to the Red State, made great contributions.

When He Hao arrived in Chidu, it happened that the envoys sent by You Yan and the two countries also arrived, and Shi Huai was the seer of He Hao.

In fact. He Hao's eloquence was not good, and he stammered when he spoke. But it's extremely insightful. After meeting with Shi Huai, he directly made it clear to Shi Huai that once the Red Kingdom participated in the gold war, no matter what the result was, the Red Kingdom would not be beneficial.

If the gold felling failed, You Yan and the two countries patted their butts and left. But the Red Country can't go, the Red Country and the Jin Country are close neighbors, and the grudge is settled, and the future disputes will be endless, and there will be constant wars between the two countries.

If the gold is successful. You Yan and the two kingdoms divided the Jin country, and in the end, it was the Red country that was unlucky.

You, Yan and Jin do not border, separated by the Xiangjiang River, the two countries to govern the gold land is extremely difficult, it can even be said that it is impossible, then the two countries will definitely no longer be able to tolerate the existence of the red country, after the destruction of gold must be the destruction of the red country, then the red country is isolated and helpless, where can the two countries withstand the alliance of the two countries?

After listening to He Hao's analysis, Shi Huai also thought that he couldn't help You and Yan Huajin. However, the ministers of the Red Kingdom did not think so, and felt that this was all He Hao's speculation, or his alarmism, which was not enough evidence.

He Hao said that he couldn't say that the ministers of the Red Kingdom, he made a bet with everyone, and when Shi Huai received You Yan's envoys, he could ask him how to divide the gold land after he destroyed the gold, and if the three kingdoms were divided equally, how would You and Yan govern the gold land?

He asserted that in order to win over the Red Kingdom, You Yan and the two countries would promise to cede the entire territory of the Jin Kingdom to the Red Kingdom, and if the other party was so generous, they must have ill intentions, and their purpose was to win over the Red Kingdom first, and then destroy the Red Kingdom.

When the ministers heard this, they all scoffed, how could the envoy You Yan make such a ridiculous promise? If this is the case, it can indeed be considered that the other party has ill intentions, but in the eyes of everyone, that is impossible, and the envoy You Yan will never promise to cede the entire territory of the Jin Kingdom to the Red Kingdom.

As a result, they were all wrong.

When Shi Huai met with You Yan and the two kingdoms, he asked according to He Hao's words and asked how to divide the gold land after the destruction of Jin.

The envoys of the two countries didn't even think about it, they answered simply, and it was almost exactly the same as He Hao's speculation, the envoys of the two countries said that the two countries did not border the Jin country, so after destroying the Jin, they were willing to give up the gold land to the neighboring Chi country.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers present were all dumbfounded, and the entire court was silent.

This made the envoy You Yan stunned, he didn't understand that he had offered such generous conditions, why did the monarch of the Red Kingdom and the ministers not even smile, but looked terrified?

Shi Huai sighed lightly, looked around at the ministers on the left and right, and his eyes undoubtedly said: How is it? Now you should believe He Hao's words, right?

The ministers of the Red Kingdom all understood the meaning of Shi Huai, and they lowered their heads one by one, silent.

Shi Huai didn't say anything more in front of You Yan's envoys, but just said that he still needed to think about it again, and let the two of them return to China first.

sent the envoys of the two countries away, and Shi Huai immediately summoned He Hao again.

After seeing He Hao again, Shi Huai made it clear that the Red Kingdom would never send troops to attack Jin, and was willing to continue to form an alliance with the Jin State.

At this time, the ministers of the Red Kingdom began to stand up against it again.

If you don't send troops to attack Jin, the Red Kingdom will not be at war with You and Yan, but if you send troops to help the Jin State resist the two coalition forces, then the Red Country will have no way out.

There is also a very important reason why the minister of the Red Kingdom opposes the aid of the Red Kingdom, once the Red Kingdom enters the war, the local territory is the battlefield, but the Jin Country belongs to the rear and will not be implicated in the war, which is a great unfairness to the Red Kingdom.

Their opposition is not unreasonable, so Shi Huai just decided not to send troops to fight gold, but he couldn't decide to send troops to help.

The main purpose of He Hao's trip was to prevent the Red Kingdom from participating in the Invasion Alliance, and since Shi Huai had made it clear that the Red Kingdom would not participate in it, his mission would be completed.

As for letting the Red Kingdom send troops to aid the Jin State and lead the war to the Red Country itself, this is too difficult for the Red people to accept, and He Hao does not have such illusions for the time being, but he believes that once the Jin Country is in danger, the Red Country will still come to Jin's aid, and it is impossible for the Red Country to watch the Jin Kingdom perish.

The fact that the neighboring country of Chiguo did not participate in the gold cutting made Lin Haotian breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, the Red Kingdom is too close to the Jin State, once the troops are dispatched, there is no problem of traveling long distances, and the military strength can remain in full strength, but You and Yan are different, the two countries have traveled thousands of miles to the Jin State, and there is no need to fight, just go all the way down enough to consume more than half of their combat strength, which is also one of the biggest bargaining chips for the Jin State to resist the two countries' coalition forces.

Lin Haotian led the army to return to China, and with him, the First Army and the 42nd Army Corps that fought in the south also embarked on the return journey, and all the battles in the south of the wood country were handed over to the Red Army.

The return of the First and Second Legions also greatly relieved the pressure on the Jin State to a certain extent, and at least their own forces were further sufficient.

After the victory, the First Army and the Second Army originally planned to return to Shuangfeng City and defend the gate of the Jin Kingdom, but at this time, both armies received Lin Haotian's military order, ordering the two armies not to return to the pass for the time being, but to stay in place in the Mu Kingdom.

Lin Haotian had his think tank by his side, and the strategists all believed that the First Legion and the Second Legion were not suitable to return to the Hegemony Pass.

Once you enter Twin Peaks, it is equivalent to being on the defensive, and the first and second armies are just capable of attacking but not good at defending, not to mention that it is too wasteful to use such two elite legions for defense;

Lin Haotian pondered carefully and felt that the opinions of the strategists were very reasonable, so he immediately sent an order to Ding Feng and Bi Wu, asking the two to lead the army to stay in the Mu Kingdom in case of emergency. (To be continued......)
