Chapter 676: Know Your Enemy
The short meeting ended quickly. It was late at night and everyone went to rest or go on duty. Under the leadership of the guards, Juda came to Edward's former room.
The accompanying Brigadier General Alan also came in: "What you just said was very good, and it moved the generals."
Jiuda said: "Whether it is fighting or something, They all pay attention to attacking the mind After the battle of Xiegu, the Seventh Army was severely damaged. On the one hand, it was facing pressure to disband. On the other hand, it was worried that other armies would gossip and look down on them. Praising Edward at this time would naturally increase my favor in their minds. . I have to make them obey my orders, and I have to use some means. Although I have brought many people, they are the real backbone of this army. If they don't cooperate, I, the highest commander, will have an empty rank. "
Ah Lan smiled and said: "So I said you are doing a good job. Before this, I have been worried that they will be too disgusted with you. Not only your age, but also your military rank and qualifications, it is really not suitable to serve as their commander." Suitable.”
Juda said: "Don't talk about them. Even under General Ruhr, there are people who are dissatisfied with my appointment as the commander of the Seventh Army. I have been mentally prepared for this. But this alone is not enough. Just let these old officers Being moved is not enough for me to take control of this army. If I want to gain their confidence..."< br>
Alan saw him thinking and asked: "Do you have any ideas? I heard you said at the meeting that you don't think much of Genis. Do you want to start with him?"
Qiu Da pointed at him and smiled: "As expected of us, we have been good brothers for so many years."
Alan smiled Said: "It's easy to guess. The most direct way to gain the trust of this army is to avenge General Edward. It's just... I just can't think of how to do it. Do you have a plan?"
Juda walked to the desk and sat down, turned the pen on the desk, and said: "Gennis, this is He is generous on the outside but taboo on the inside. On the surface, he is tolerant and generous, but in fact, he is very jealous on the inside. He does not allow others to have more merit than him, let alone other people, even the other two people in the "Three Horsemen of Zhenwu". I can’t tolerate them being more beautiful than me, which is why I look down on him.”
Alan said in disbelief: "He is actually such a person?"
The person who knows him best must not be his friends, but his enemies.
Jiuda smiled slightly and said: "I have carefully studied his resume. Not just him. Before coming here, I had detailed information about every enemy general. Genis is actually famous. Very early on, as early as 23 years old, he took the lead He became famous by inciting the villagers to rebel. "Rebellion! He is so brave. But why would he serve in the Saint Bikoya Empire's army? Isn't it customary to put him to death?" Alan asked doubtfully.
Juda said: "At that time, the new king of Saint Bikoya had just succeeded to the throne, and the political structure of the country was about to be purged. Genis was also a politically astute person. He saw this opportunity to incite the people to rebel. The object of the rebellion was the forces of other princes that the new king tried hard to eliminate. This gave the new king the opportunity to eradicate the dissidents, so not only did he not suffer any punishment in this matter, he was also appointed. "< br>
"So he is still a very smart person."
Jiuda said: "He is a smart person. Smart people will always be excluded by others."
Alan smiled and said: "Are you talking about yourself?"
Jiuda ignored him and continued: "And he also has a big problem. He is too arrogant and doesn't know how to restrain himself, so It didn't take long for him to be forced out of Sindmoor. He turned to work as a mercenary, and later rejoined Saint Bikoya's army as his strength improved."
"Later. His knight seal was unsealed and he became an awakened knight. He was once again reused by the Saint Bikoya military and was given the nickname 'The Burning Ghost'." Alan added the following words for him.
"That's right." Juda said: "He knew that with his status at that time, he was not a match for those who suppressed him, so after he was re-employed, he pretended not to care about the past, and instead made friends with those people. , not only managed to survive among these people, but also dispelled their wariness, and gradually understood their weaknesses."
Alan said: "This person must be really scheming. Replenish your essence during that time Accumulate your strength and status, and when the time is right, you will take revenge."
"You are right," said Juda, "so none of those who have offended him have done well. end "
Alan said: "How do you plan to deal with him?"
Jiuda said: "He is mean and suspicious, and he often suppresses his subordinates to take credit for himself."
Alan's eyes lit up and he said: "Are you talking about estrangement? Is there any good way?"
Jiuda smiled and said: "I haven't thought about it at first, but as soon as I got here, the way was delivered to me. It's in front of me."
After waiting all night, they did not wait for a large-scale attack by the enemy. Perhaps it was Bimoye's visit to the camp that made them feel that their plan was exposed and gave up, or they had no such plan at all. All in all, it was a peaceful night, which is what makes everyone happiest.
Bimoye waited with everyone all night and chatted with Selt all night. Everyone was a little tired. In fact, he didn't chat much. Most of the time, he just listened to them. As a friend, he was more suitable to be a listener. It was good to have him listen.
The sky is getting brighter, and the fire that was raised in the night is gradually cooling down. Irina rubbed her face, which was stiff from the cold night, and said, "It's been a safe night, it's time to change shifts."
Ursula said: "The other side also knew that we had new sources of troops, so they didn't dare to implement the original plan."
Not all of the 12,000 new soldiers are stationed in the city. Quite a few were camped on the mountains to the west. Not only did the enemy not make a large-scale attack that night, but the number of raids and harassments was also reduced. Not only was the number of raids and harassments reduced, the sentry in front of the city early in the morning also discovered that the enemy camp was moving back. After all, the distance of four kilometers is too close. Now both sides' troops will feel uneasy no matter which side they are.
"Captain Thain."
"Captain, why did you get up so early and didn't you sleep more?"
Thain pulled the cloak tied at the collar and said with a smile: "It's rare to have a more peaceful sleep than sleep, so I feel a little uncomfortable. Didn't the enemy come last night?"
"He came, but He left quickly without making any big noise," a soldier said.
Sain said: "Okay, okay, you go have breakfast, it's changing of the guard."
Breakfast is optional, but there are not many varieties. This is the canteen of the military camp. It's not a restaurant, but it's just like a restaurant. In addition to formal dining, if you want to eat more, you have to pay for it.
Bimoye took a blueberry pancake and a glass of milk. Everyone else also took what they wanted to eat and squatted on the rocks behind the barracks to enjoy it.
But Thain came here at some unknown time, peeled off a piece of fruit candy, put it in his mouth and asked, "Hey, are your injuries okay?"
Irina knew he was talking about whipping. The wound left behind shook his head and said: "The medicine has been applied, and it doesn't hurt much anymore."
Sain sighed, squatted on the stone, and said: "You guys, exploring the enemy camp at night Do you know why you didn’t report such a big thing? If you just leave without saying anything, it will be easy for the military camp to regard you as deserters."
"We are deserters?" Irina said unconvinced: "Why are we deserters?"< br>
Sain said: "Of course I'm not saying that you are deserters, but everything must be done according to the discipline in the military camp. Okay, I'm not here to argue with you. How is your friend's injury? ”
"Still lying in the ward, it should be better." Irina said.
After washing up, Joda went to the conference room to see Langdon and asked, "Have you done all the intelligence matters you talked about last night?"
Langdon said, "roughly. The situation has been reported to the main camp using a telepathic stone. The suspected enemy troops are I also sent people to send for identification overnight."
Jiuda said: "What about the traitor?"
Langdon said: "There is no report on this matter. In a letter, the soldier who delivered the letter was asked to deliver it to General Ruhr in person."
Judah nodded: "Very good."
Langdon said: "After breakfast later, I will accompany you to inspect the situation of each camp."
"No rush." Judah said: " I have something I want you to do before that."
"What's the matter, tell me, General."
Juda said: "I wrote a letter and wanted you to send a messenger to the enemy camp opposite and give it to them. Supreme Commander.”
Langdon said: "According to detective reports, Gurnis is not in the military camp opposite now."
Juda shook his head and said: "It's not Gurness, it was given to Allen. I have already written the letter, and finally I'll send it over this morning."
Langdon took the letter and asked, "Do you know this Allen?"
"No," Joda said with a smile. We’ll get to know each other soon.”
