Chapter 398: Divided (17) The hearts of the people are in turmoil
Although Xiao Yao is the commander-in-chief, in this first battle, he doesn't seem to have the intention of personally going over to supervise the battle. After Ah Shu led the army away, he still sat calmly in the big tent of the Chinese army, and he spoke and behaved calmly, and he didn't feel in a hurry at all, as if this big battle had nothing to do with him, the main general.
Because Batong has other responsibilities, he has always been by Xiao Yao's side. At this time, he saw that the big war was coming, but this General Xiao was still sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, looking at his appearance, I was afraid that he couldn't even pretend to be so similar, and he couldn't help but secretly surprise in his heart: "Which of the generals who brought us before the battle was not extremely excited? Not to mention sitting quietly like this, even if they let them slow down a little, they can't do it." But this General Xiao can really calm down. ”
All soldiers have an indescribable sense of urgency in their hearts all the time, even when they have nothing to do on weekdays, they will tense their nerves, and as long as there is some wind and grass, they will react immediately. This is a natural sense of smell that belongs to a soldier, and it is not something that human beings can compete with. At this time, Ah Shu had already led his troops to attack, and although Batong did not participate in it, when it came to the fighting spirit in his heart and the sharpness of waiting for him, he was not much better than anyone else. Therefore, at this time, when he faced such a calm Xiao Yao, after struggling again and again, he finally couldn't help but ask: "General Xiao, ...... Just sit there?"
Xiao Yao replied without raising his head: "Why worry? Just sit down and wait for General Ashu to return triumphantly." ”
When Ba Tong heard this, he wanted to say that the victory or defeat on the battlefield is unpredictable, and how can you guarantee that Ah Shu will definitely win this battle? But after thinking about it, such words are too much of an enemy's momentum and destroy his own prestige, so he opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say it. But Xiao Yao seemed to have a pair of eyes on the top of his head, and he took in all of Batong's reactions, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”
Ba Tong gritted his teeth and asked: "General Xiao, is 3,000 people a little too little?In the past few days, there have been many big gangs in Zhongyuan, many of them are masters, plus the people of the Quanzhen Sect, and now Zhongnan Mountain can be said to be like a cloud of masters, and their number is definitely not below these 3,000 people...... Speaking of this, he probably felt that his words were really inappropriate, so he changed his words and said: "Of course, our three thousand brothers are well-trained, well-equipped, and have a morale like a rainbow, and they are by no means comparable to the rabble, but they are ...... After all, the strength of these two sides is too close, although we will not lose, but if we win, it is not a sure thing......"
Xiao Yao smiled slightly, and said: "General Batong is really brave and strategic, it is indeed not easy to think of this step, if it weren't for your perennial expedition to the battlefield, your understanding of those people in the rivers and lakes is really not enough, then at this moment, you will be as relieved as this general." ”
Batong didn't understand what he meant, so he had to say: "I hope the general will make it clear!"
Xiao Yao said: "Do you think that those gangs of rivers and lakes really came to Zhongnan Mountain to help the Quanzhen Sect wholeheartedly? Why have the so-called rivers and lakes been called the land of right and wrong since ancient times? Why have there always been many villains and few heroes? Why is there only one person like Guo Jing in the world? It is all because of people's unpredictability, and everyone is selfish and forgetful. ”
"This Quanzhen danger is related to the stability of the entire Central Plains martial arts, if the mainstay of the Quanzhen Sect is taken by us, then a huge martial arts will immediately collapse like a nest, how can we still stop the footsteps of our army? Therefore, before, when Ben General was ordered by His Royal Highness to go to the Shaolin Temple, he had sent someone to secretly release the news, saying that once the army was raised to deal with the Quanzhen Sect in the future, it was only because they refused to accept the edict, but for the entire martial arts, not only did they have no other plans, but there was also the intention of wooing, and the matter of the Shaolin Temple was the best proof. This is also the reason why, although the Shaolin Temple has now become the protector of Mongolia, it can still maintain its former purity, and at the same time will not be harassed and attacked by people in the rivers and lakes. ”
Under such a combination of soft and hard, those people in the rivers and lakes naturally understood the situation in front of them, which was nothing more than stubborn resistance, and finally was completely wiped out like the Quanzhen Sect, or accepted the edict like the Shaolin Temple, chose to submit, and remained neutral, neither against us, nor obedient to us. In this way, after the generals relieved those Jianghu people who were worried about their own insecurity and the sense of crisis that they might be destroyed together in such a situation, the gangs and forces among them who were short-sighted and inpowerful were happy to sit back and enjoy their success, choose a neutral path, and live in peace and stability. ”
"Don't look at the many gangs in the rivers and lakes that have taken the initiative to come and want to form an alliance with the Quanzhen Sect now, but when it really comes to war with us, among these people, one percent of them are willing to do their best, and the Quanzhen Sect burns high incense. And the rest of the people must be preserving their strength, just waiting for the war to end, they will immediately disarm and surrender, and then immediately turn their heads and start to rob the forces and resources left behind after the fall of the Quanzhen Sect to strengthen themselves. Therefore, it seems that General Ashu's 3,000 soldiers and horses are not much, and the chance of winning with the opponent is only five to five, but in fact, we are undefeated in this battle. ”
When Batong heard this, he was stunned. He never expected that Xiao Yao's grasp of people's hearts and human nature had reached this point, as if the whole battle situation was just a cup of fragrant tea in his hand.
However, Batong is a veteran who has crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood step by step, although he also understands that such calculations and analysis are very reliable, but if he can win the victory only in this way, he still has doubts, and if he were a bystander, I am afraid that he would have already scoffed at this time. But Xiao Yao is now the main general, and he has always shown his outstanding wisdom and means before, which is unconvincing, so at this time, Ba Tong will be suspicious, and the secret path only needs to wait for Ah Shu to come back with the troops.
After two hours like this, there was a sudden buzz of people outside the tent, and the sound of horses neighing and trampling sounded very noisy. Ba Tong frowned, and just wanted to go out to check, but suddenly a person broke into the tent, knelt down, and said loudly: "General Xiao, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored!"
