Chapter 52: Xu Juan and Xu Zaisi

"Alone!"

"No."

looked at Sun Ru, who had a gloomy face, and Xu Xuan, who was about to find a way to excuse himself, could only break his teeth and swallow back the remaining half of the sentence.

When Xu Juan retreated, Sun Ru was about to continue to reprimand the group of incompetent generals under his command, but a capital leader who lacked eyesight ran in without knowing what to do.

"Monarch, the losses caused by the attack on the camp last night have been counted. In addition to the 12 camps that were burned, all the 30 ladders that were rushed out were destroyed......"

"Boom~~"

After listening to Nadutou's report, Sun Ru could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and slapped his palm at the beautifully carved table in front of him. The case fell apart in an instant, and the wreckage of wood was splattered to the ground.

Looking around at the main general in the tent, Sun Ru's right hand had slowly grasped the saber at his waist. It should be known that the manufacturing and storage locations of these ladders were all carefully selected by Sun Ru in remote places. And they are all manufactured and stored separately.

Sun Ru would not be surprised if the cadres only destroyed one or two places, but now that the cadres were able to accurately destroy all the ladders they had made, it could no longer be explained by coincidence. Apparently, traitors appeared within them!

If their every move is in Zhao Yun's sight, then they will be extremely passive in the next battle! And the generals in the camp held their breath and didn't dare to make any movement, for fear that Sun Ru would take advantage of the topic and take them out.

"Hasn't the grain and grass escorted by Dong Hai arrived yet? They should have arrived three days before the latest! And Wang Jiang! How many days has it been? The front line is still waiting for the siege of the city. ”

"Enlightenment...... Open...... Report to...... The Monarch ......"

Du Tou, who had already sensed the anger of the monarch, said cautiously after secretly looking at Sun Ru's face: "The patrol team found the remains of hundreds of soldiers of our army near Qiyun Town not long ago, and they ...... Among them...... General Dong's, the humble post is preparing to report to you. As for General Wang Jiang, there is no news yet, and in terms of time, I am afraid that it will ...... I'm afraid it'......"

"Enough!"

Sun Ru roared: "Needless to say, tomorrow, one last siege will be launched, if you can't recapture Le'an......"

Speaking of this, Sun Ru's breathing couldn't help but become heavy. After a period of dullness, Sun Ru continued viciously: "Then we can only withdraw the army and go to Yinping County."

As soon as the words fell, the people of Le An were immediately in an uproar. A general with his arm wrapped in gauze stepped forward and said, "But the monarch, our family is still ......."

"Is there any other way you can do it?" Sun Ru's eyes were red, like a wounded beast, looking at the other party and said, "If you have words, the widow will immediately make you a general."

"This ......"

"If not, get out!"

Sun Ru roared with a hideous face: "If it weren't for the brave climb to the city the day before yesterday, you would have suffered more than ten injuries. Lonely ......"

Speaking of this, Sun Ru was speechless. Because he had already sensed that the faces of the generals in front of him flashed with that look of indignation.

"That's it, let's all stand down first."

waved his hand at the generals in front of him, and at this time, Sun Ru's anger had turned into a sigh. Because he knows that if he continues to reprimand like this, these guys in front of him. I'm afraid it's going to be a rebellion.

Watching the major generals leave in groups, Sun Ru couldn't help but sigh again. For the minds of these people, how could Sun Ru, who was also from Qiu Ba, not understand? In other words, it is precisely because Sun Ru has enough understanding of the psychology of these generals and soldiers that he can live until now.

In order to restore the atmosphere of the five dynasties, Sun Ru's Le'an Kingdom had two permanent national spirits at the beginning: "Five Generations of Martial Artists" and "Cannibal Cai Thief".

The former, while increasing the morale and combat effectiveness of the Le'an Army by 20%, accelerated the decline in the loyalty of all generals and soldiers in the Le'an Kingdom by 50%. The latter increases morale by 50% while reducing logistics costs by 30% and loyalty by 10. Under the superposition of the two, there are not many generals in the entire Le'an country who can have a loyalty of more than sixty.

It is precisely because of this that Sun Ru not only rewards the spoils of war to the generals and soldiers on weekdays. can only balance those veterans by constantly appointing and removing generals from the bottom.

However, this method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause can only be said to be passable. Because the loyalty of newly promoted generals is not slower than that of veterans.

"This group of people can't be used anymore!"

Sun Ru stroked the tiger-headed Molin knife on his waist. At this time, this treasure sword, which is worth a thousand gold and ranks at the legendary level in "Dynasty", does not bring him any sense of security. Because Sun Ru knew that if he couldn't recapture Le'an tomorrow, it would not be far from the time when these people betrayed him.

You must know that in history, LΓΌ Meng attacked Jingzhou and robbed a large number of Jingzhou soldiers and soldiers, which directly caused the Jingzhou army to collapse and led to Guan Yu's defeat. Even Guan Yu, a generation of martial saints who are usually good at soothing soldiers and peerless Yiqun, has ended up like this, not to mention Sun Ru, a mere martial artist?

And the actual situation is similar to what he thought. Not long after the group of Le'an generals walked out of the tent, a Le'an general who was injured and did not dare to rush and fell behind everyone was pulled aside by the people next to him.

"Brother Xu, what are you?"

The person who came was Xu Juan, who had just been reprimanded by Sun Ru, he pulled the injured general aside, and said softly: "Don't make a noise, there is something I want to talk to you about, it's inconvenient to talk here, come with so-and-so."

With that, he took the general to his tent. Looking at the abnormal attitude of his old friend Xu Xuan, the injured general couldn't help but be secretly nervous.

Since the fall of Le'an, the people of the Le'an army have been panicking. If it weren't for the previous few big victories, I'm afraid that the entire Le'an army would have been scattered like birds and beasts, but the siege of the city in the past few days still made many generals in the army think differently, and Xu Juan was one of them.

After being reprimanded by Sun Ru today and sending someone to meddle in the military power of Wuyongdu, he already clearly felt that Sun Ru began to distrust them. So, he planned to pull in the injured general who was scolded by Sun Ru before, and it was also his friend Xu Zaisi, to plot a way back together.

Both of them were Sun Ru's cronies, and historically, Sun Ru led the army to attack Jiangnan and fought with Yang Xingmi, the Xuanzhou observer who had just inherited the mantle of Gao Biao at that time. After Sun Ru's defeat, the two were afraid that Yang Xingmi would liquidate themselves, and took thousands of personal soldiers who were close to Sun Ru to take refuge in Yang Xingmi's lifelong enemy, and the Wusheng army trained Qian Miao.

Later, this army went east and west, and made great contributions to Qian Miao's defeat of Dong Chang and the capture of two Zhejiang. It's just that when Wu Yongdu rebelled, he almost killed Qian Miao.
