Chapter 961: Prosperity and Prosperity The blade wanders away
No matter what the world, no matter what era, there are many people who remember to eat and fight, don't hit their heads and bleed, and don't know how to write repentance.
Maybe they don't succeed enough, but they are definitely trustworthy in failure.
Therefore, Philip was very unwilling to go, very angry! But the matter has come to this, and he knows that he has lost the opportunity, so he can only leave with these pig teammates first, and then make plans later.
Of course, it is impossible for him to deal with those pig teammates when he is angry. And the latter undoubtedly thinks the same way, and blames Philip for the image of the wolf in the imperial capital before being too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is rare to be serious once, and it is undoubtedly not favored by everyone. It's just that he is sick again, and he can't afford to hide if he can't afford it, so he has nothing to say all the way back to the trip......
Don didn't spend much time in Mountain Creek City either, and in fact there was nothing to treat. Knowing that the murderous gray-clothed army was about to be killed, this northern holy city had long since lost its former prosperity, although it could not be said that it was ten rooms and nine empty, but most of the shops that did business were basically closed. Those who have a way, such as the aristocracy, pack up and run away early. For example, civilians who have no way out, close and lock their doors in broad daylight, and kneel down and pray endlessly at the idol of the god at home......
People are panicking! There is a huge commercial street, and there are not a few kittens swaying at the end of the street......
Tang En's words were true, and when he spent most of the day penetrating countless blockade lines and returning to the Gray Army, he immediately found Josia, Lansha and others who were gathering together to sharpen their knives, and conveyed Philip's meaning.
Immediately, the impromptu meeting that had boosted morale before the war was disbanded, and the leading officers were sent back to the army to prepare for battle. Josia, Frey, Lansha, and a few of the Grey Coats high-ranking people who happened to be here were left behind. In response to the news brought back by Donne, a small round table was formed again.
Among them, Lan Sha has never been involved in other matters other than commanding operations, although at the moment this matter is related to the next situation between Bran and the Gray Army, and the interests of the Northern Wilderness tribe must also be involved, but she didn't say anything, and she was about to leave. But Josia called her out and told her to come down and discuss it with her. Lansha thought about it, and didn't refuse again......
"I don't agree to negotiate!" Don wondered if he should say a few good words for Philip, not expecting to sway the decision of the people. I just hope that the other party won't be scolded so much that they will be bloody. Huo Ran, a high-level old man with gray sideburns, stood up with an excited expression, "The Bran Royal Court is not credible, think about what happened last time." We can't afford to repeat the mistakes of the past!" He was wary of negotiating with the Bran court. Naturally, I shook my head in denial without thinking about it.
Immediately, the remaining high-level elders also seconded the proposal one after another.
"I don't agree with it either! Not to be trusted!"
"Talk about the - wait until we rush over and get the sloppy king out of the castle, and talk to him again!"
"That's right, I didn't say it, keep beating the fuck......"
......
Without the presence of generals and other subordinates, these high-level old men who were born in a reckless background don't care about the demeanor of the superiors.
Tang En grinned when he heard this, but fortunately he was careful just now, and he didn't say what Philip said about the five cities in exchange, otherwise this meeting would have collapsed before it started.
Of course, things are not much better now. As Tang En said before, the gray-clothed army is now in great shape, and the good news is spreading, and the total territory occupied is about one-fifth the size of the northern territory, and this range is still expanding with the front of the army that has swept thousands of miles like a tiger. In this case, how could everyone here consider negotiating with Bran and doing the stupid thing of picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons......
Including Josia and Frey, they also shook their heads slightly, obviously disapproving. The reason why he didn't taunt with several high-level executives was because for the sake of his acquaintance Philip's face, it was difficult to open this mouth.
Seeing that Don En, the intermediary messenger, was a little embarrassed, Josia suddenly turned his head to look at Lan Sha, who had been silent beside him, and asked, "Miss Lan Sha, what do you think?"
"Hehe, you know, I don't care about these things. Lan Sha casually glanced at Tang En, chuckled and shook his head.
"It's okay, it's okay to talk about it. ”
"Yes, Lieutenant Marshal Lansha. You're not an outsider, so let's talk about it. ”
"We're all big and coarse, and we don't know much. Vice Marshal Lansha, you are resourceful and reasonable, tell us about it......"
......
Except for Donne, Josia, and Frey, the rest of the high-level officials did not know Lansha's true identity. However, they respected Lan Sha's ability, and they all sincerely persuaded him.
"Okay, then I'll talk about it. Lan Sha was not pretentious, he groaned slightly, and said, "As everyone knows, I have always only commanded the war. I don't understand internal affairs, so let's talk about the current situation from the perspective of military strategy. Well, there are as many as eight of the wide official roads and military arteries leading to the front line in the northern hinterland of Bran. Of these, we account for five, which is more than half. The remaining three are also in front of our army, and if there are no accidents, they can all be taken in less than half a month. ”
Lan Sha didn't say anything about the negotiation as soon as he opened his mouth, but first talked about the glorious battle situation of the Gray Clothes Army at this time. Since it made a group of high-level old people listen to the clouds and mountains and fog, they are confused. Josia and Frey, who knew a lot about military affairs, frowned slightly when they heard this, as if they had thought of something, and their expressions were thoughtful......
Sure enough, Lan Sha said again, "You shouldn't forget that Bran's main army is not officially fighting with us now, but is stationed in the frontline city, fighting hundreds of thousands of warriors with the tribe...... Well, the soldiers of the Northern Wilderness are in a stalemate. Once we occupy all the official routes, the main army of Bran will be in a mortal dilemma of being attacked by the enemy!"
"Ha, I see. Isn't it very good, eat them in one bite!" Lan Sha said a few words, which instantly made the high-level old man who was not familiar with war excited, and waved his hand arrogantly, "Kill these main forces, and see what Bran still uses to fight us!"
"It's not that simple. Lan Sha poured cold water on his face indifferently, "The fact is that once these main forces of Bran abandon the front-line battlefield and move to the hinterland, with our current strength, there is no chance of victory. ”
"Uh, they ...... How dare they abandon the front line? That's a barbarian who can eat people, and thousands of people in the rear ......."
"Ahem...... Hearing this, Tang En suddenly interrupted with a violent dry cough, and looked at the high-level old man with a wry smile. Still cannibalism, barbarians, aren't you scolding the bald donkey in front of the monks......
Glancing at Tang En, Lan Sha snorted lightly, but he didn't dwell on these, and said expressionlessly: "You know Bran's style better than me, compared to the back road was cut off, and nearly a million main troops were trapped in a domain. Do you think they care if ordinary people live or die?"
"So...... We can't take these official roads?"
Shaking his head, "The location of the official road is an important place on the battlefield. If the occupation is not imposed, what we are doing now will be in vain. After a pause, he looked at Donne, "The key is that if we don't wait for us to completely occupy it, Bran's main army will definitely come back to help." I think...... This is the reason why Bran suddenly sent someone to negotiate this time, and it is also their bargaining chip. ”
Don nodded silently, sighing silently. What else can he say? He only reacted when he heard what Philip said, and Lansha only heard that Brand's people were negotiating, and he saw the subtleties and understood all the reasons and circumstances before and after.
This is especially Chiguoguo's IQ crushing!
This girl is definitely a sperm, how wise and close to the rhythm of the demon......
"Wait, my brain is a little messy, I'll sort it out......" Not everyone is as perverted as Lan Sha, the high-level old man with gray sideburns knocked on the door of his head when he heard this, and said hesitantly, "In this way, we must occupy these important roads, but we can't occupy them." Once we take it, those Bran puppies will fight us hard, and we won't be able to beat them?"
Lansha nodded: "That's pretty much what it means." ”
"What does the lieutenant mean...... Shall we negotiate?"
"No, at least not now. Lan Sha shook his head lightly and tapped his fingers on the table, "And you can't win on the battlefield, no matter how you negotiate at the negotiation table, the result is the same." With the current strength of the Grey Army, it will not be able to wipe out the entire Bran Empire, but the north must be completely occupied! Otherwise, when Bran recovers, the Gray Army will be counterattacked, and it is not impossible for the entire army to be annihilated!"
After the words fell, Lan Sha picked up the teacup and stopped talking, and the room suddenly fell into a depressing silence.
The high-level old men looked stunned, and their minds, which were about to be carried away by successive victories, finally came to their senses, and the sense of imminent danger that had been lost for a long time hit their hearts again...... It turns out that we have been on the blade all this time. If you are not careful, this seemingly flowery but fragile prospect will be shattered in an instant......
In silence, Josia looked around at the people who had suffered and lost, pursed her lips slightly, and cast a faint grateful glance at Lan Sha.
She must express her gratitude, some words are not easy to say in her position, and the meaning of saying them will change, and the morale will be light. Sometimes, it is necessary to wait for the lessons and failures that have been known for a long time to come and happen, and then to warn the people. It's just that since Lansha took over the army, Josia has waited for a long time and didn't wait for this opportunity......
Now it is undoubtedly better for Lan Sha to take the initiative to tell everyone about the deadly crisis hidden in this great situation. To put it bluntly, Lan Sha is not a person in the gray-clothed army, but only comes to work part-time. Even if the truth hurts, it doesn't matter if she doesn't care.
The high-level elders had no other opinion on Lan Sha's speculation, or they didn't care about other opinions, their minds were confused, and they turned to the question and asked, "Since we must occupy the north, we must occupy the remaining three key roads...... Uh, what about those main Bran troops on the front line?"
Lan Sha didn't give a clear answer, narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "It's a matter of priority, but things that should be solved always have to be solved...... Perhaps, I have a way to ......"
After a pause, he smiled at Don and Josia who looked surprised, "Wait, maybe there will be a turnaround......"
...... (To be continued......)
