Chapter 1822 Lin Jie

Wang Chonghua passed the order, and not long after, a young man wearing black armor and with a calm aura was brought to the three of them.

"I have met three generals."

The young man bowed to the three of them respectively, neither humble nor overbearing, calm and calm.

Wang Chonghua and the other three people all nodded secretly, especially Fu Kaishan, with a hint of pride in his smile.

"This is quite a talent. He has gained a lot of respect in front of my eldest brother and third brother, but why does he look strange to me?"

Fu Kaishan had some doubts in his heart. He knew that he had a total of 180,000 soldiers and horses, and he had an impression of almost all the monks at the Golden Core level and above. But why did this young general look unfamiliar and couldn't remember his origin for a moment?

After thinking for a while, he asked, "What's your name?"

"I'm Lin Jie." The young man said, cupping his fists.

"Lin Jie?" Fu Kaishan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't remember this name, are you really my subordinate?"

"Report to General." Lin Jie said with a smile: "I am a monk who rebelled from the Beiming Army during the last war. It's just that Nanxuan has no troops to take me in, so I was assigned to the Black Front Camp not long ago."

"Oh, that seems to be the case." Fu Kaishan nodded.

"Did you lead the counterattack just now?" Fan Jin suddenly asked.

"Yes, that's right."

"You are a monk at the Golden Core Realm who can actually see the flaws in the military formation. I wonder which sect you studied under before?"

"No sect, no sect, just a casual cultivator." Lin Jie chuckled.

"That's really strange. With an army of more than 500,000, and many mysterious changes that Zhenjun Tongxuan didn't notice, you actually found them?" Fan Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lin Jie's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "Reporting to the general, the military formation is not an ordinary magic formation, and it does not need to be too profound and mysterious. The largest number of people in the army are the foundation-building monks. It will be difficult for them to change the formation that is too mysterious. Master, so the military formation needs to be in line with the actual combat power and bring everyone's strength into full play. Although I am not at a high level, I have done a lot of research on the changes in the military formation since the beginning of the war between the north and the south, and I have some opinions of my own."

After hearing this, Fan Jin's face changed several times, and finally he sighed and said: "It turns out that it is only through years of hard work that I can achieve today's performance, but I have overthought it. You are very good. If all the monks in the Black Front Camp were like you Likewise, our military's combat effectiveness will reach a higher level."

"General, that's a reward." Lin Jie said with a smile.

At this moment, Wang Chonghua, who had been silent before, slowly spoke: "You performed best in today's martial arts performance. What reward do you want?"

Lin Jie stood there and thought for a while, then raised his hands and said, "I came from Beiming to defect because I couldn't understand their style. I wanted to calm down the war and restore peace to the mainland, so I don't need any reward."

"That won't work!" Wang Chonghua waved his hand and said loudly: "Our army has always made clear rewards and punishments. You set an example in today's martial arts performance and must be rewarded."

"Since the general insists on rewards, why not give Lin a chance to give advice?"

"What?"

Fan Jin and Fu Kaishan both frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

In the past, rewards were given to some for magical treasures, some for elixirs, and some for military ranks. However, there has never been a situation like today where all they wanted was a chance to speak.

Wang Chonghua thought for a moment and said slowly: "What do you want to advise?"

"I have the courage to advise the three commanders to lead all our brothers in the Black Front Battalion to join the Bamboo Army!"

"you!"

Fu Kaishan was shocked and his face changed slightly. He did not expect that his subordinates would speak so shockingly.

"You bastard, have you gone crazy in your practice and lost your mind?"

Fu Kaishan stood up and shouted: "You, a golden elixir-level monk, actually dare to discuss such a big matter. Can you get involved in this? Besides, the three of us are disobeying the order, and we are not doing it for the Black Front Camp." For the sake of our brothers? How many hypocrites are there in Nanxuan? Once they fall into the hands of others, who can guarantee that they will not be used as cannon fodder?"

"Second brother, there is no need to be angry."

Wang Chonghua waved his hand and said calmly: "This person has an unusual temperament. Since he made such a suggestion, he must have his own opinions. Besides, I just agreed to give him a chance to make a suggestion. Why not listen to him first?" .”

"That's right." Fan Jin also nodded and smiled.

Fu Kaishan suppressed his anger and sat back angrily, but still stared at Lin Jie with his bull's eyes.

Lin Jie was calm and collected.

"There are three reasons why the Black Front Battalion wants to join the Bamboo Army!"

He glanced at Wang Chonghua and spoke eloquently: "First, the war is coming, and all the battalions in Nanxuan have their own affiliations, but our Black Front Battalion has always been outside the top ten forces. If the war breaks out, the Black Front Battalion's foundation will be shallow. It's inevitable to be cannon fodder. It's not that brothers are afraid of death, it's just that it's worthless to die and it's a stepping stone for those hypocrites, so it's inevitably not worth it."

As soon as he said this, Fu Kaishan immediately retorted: "You are talking nonsense! Our Black Front Battalion is a self-contained army, and we cooperate with each other tacitly. We have been able to escape from several battles without becoming cannon fodder. On the contrary, we have just joined the Beiming Army. When we were young, we were used by others and killed many brothers. This shows that most people in Nanxuan cannot be trusted, and our destiny must be in our own hands."

After hearing this, Lin Jie shook his head and said: "Things are developing and the situation is changing. Although our Black Front Battalion retreated from the previous battles, they were only small-scale fights, not frontal decisive battles. Nanxuan senior officials Although most of them protect their own shortcomings, they also value their own face, and on the surface they still want to maintain impartiality. But now, the situation between the north and the south has reached a critical moment, and a decisive battle is imminent, with countless casualties and casualties. Do you think Xuanxin Palace can still maintain absolute impartiality? "

After hearing these words, Fu Kaishan was stunned, not knowing how to refute, but Fan Jin nodded slightly, with a look of approval on his face.

"It's hard for you, a sergeant major in the Golden Core realm, to think this far. Yes, the situation has changed now, and what you just said is what I'm worried about."

"General Fan is so complimentary."

Lin Jie cupped his fists and saluted, and then said: "This is only the first, there is also the second. The battle between monks is different from the battle between mortals. The strength gap between low-level monks and high-level monks is too big. Only by combining the power of low-level monks Only by gathering together and amplifying this power through the military formation can we have the capital to fight with high-level monks. Otherwise, no matter how many monks there are in the Foundation Establishment Stage and Juyuan Realm, in the eyes of high-level monks, they are just livestock that can be slaughtered. Too big of a threat.”

Fu Kaishan frowned and said, "You don't need to tell me this. As the commander of the first battalion, I naturally understand this truth."

"Okay, since General Fu understands, I will make it clear. Although our Black Front Battalion is a self-contained army, we cooperate tacitly, and our combat power is not bad. But compared with those armies that can easily reach millions, the number of people is still far behind. Shao. If a war breaks out and our Black Front Battalion does not cooperate with other allies and always stays outside Nanxuan's military formation, it will be like a group of weak people who are not united and insist on giving others a chance to defeat them one by one. Isn't this right? Are you seeking your own destruction?"

"This" Fu Kaishan was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wang Chonghua, on the other hand, stared at Lin Jie with a gleam in his eyes.

"That's a good analysis. So according to you, joining the Bamboo Army will guarantee you?" Wang Chonghua asked slowly.

"According to my investigation during this period, the Bamboo Army has integrated the Evil Ghost Camp and the Shenji Camp, with a total of 500,000 troops, no less than our Black Front Camp. Plus the elite disciples of Yuzhu Mountain and some casual cultivators who have taken refuge in the wind , the strength has become very strong. If our Black Front Battalion joins at this time, no one will dare to underestimate this bamboo army."

"You put it lightly." Fu Kaishan snorted coldly and said calmly: "Everyone knows who the Evil Ghost Camp and the Divine Machine Camp are. How can these people be trusted?"

"Today is different from the past. The Bamboo Army has clear rewards and punishments and manages the army with a degree of discipline. Even the monks from the Evil Ghost Camp and the Shenji Camp do not dare to disobey military orders. If General Fu doesn't believe it, you can go and see for yourself."

"No need to read, Fan has conducted careful investigation during this period, and it is indeed as Lin Jie said." Fan Jin suddenly said.

When he opened his mouth, Fu Kaishan was speechless, because Fan Jin had always been the think tank of the Black Front Battalion, and Fu Kaishan had great trust in him.

Wang Chonghua is the one who has remained silent among the three.

He stared at Lin Jie for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Commander Lin, didn't you just say there are three reasons? Now you only said two. Is there a third reason?"

"The third reason is that I heard it from hearsay. Because I joined the Black Front Camp halfway, and I heard some veterans accidentally mentioned that the Black Front Camp and the Demon Lord Tian Xie had a grudge, and the two sides were at odds with each other. And that day the Evil Demon Jun Nai is the leader of the 'Four Young Masters of Nanxuan' and holds a high position of authority. If he acts secretly, it may be detrimental to our Black Front Camp."

When Lin Jie said this, he paused for a moment and then continued: "Liang Yan, the commander of the Bamboo Army, is said to be at odds with the Demon Lord Tian Xie, and the relationship between the two is on the same level. If you join the Bamboo Army, you will definitely be protected. You don’t dare to mess around anymore.”

After hearing what he said, Wang Chonghua nodded slightly, but his expression was a little strange.

"Well said, but you joined later after all. I wonder why our Black Blade Battalion has a grudge against Tian Xie Demon Lord, right?"

Lin Jie's face became solemn, he cupped his hands and said, "I'd like to hear the details!"

Wang Chonghua closed his eyes slightly, as if recalling an unbearable past event, and after a long while he said leisurely:

"When the Black Front Battalion first joined Nanxuan, we thought about joining others. At that time, the Demon King Tian Xie was at the height of his power. We wanted to join him, but we didn't expect that this person had a vicious plan and took advantage of him during a mission. Our Black Front Battalion caused heavy losses to the brothers in our battalion, but their military glory was monopolized by their Heavenly Demon Mountain. And one of our sworn brothers was killed in that mission."

"Fourth Brother" Fu Kaishan's eyes showed sadness and anger, and he said bitterly: "There are many hypocrites in Nanxuan, who do one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. After all, we are the Beiming rebels, and it is normal not to be trusted by them. But They want to use us and use us as a stepping stone, but don’t even think about it!”

“So that’s how it is”

After hearing this, Lin Jie showed a thoughtful expression.

On the general stage, everyone was silent.

After a while, Fan Jin came back to his senses, first looked at Lin Jie who was standing in the audience, then looked at his eldest brother Wang Chonghua, and finally said softly: "Brother, I think what this kid said is true. Reason, the advantages of joining the Bamboo Army outweigh the disadvantages. Our brothers in the Black Front Battalion are not afraid of death, but are afraid of dying worthless. If joining the Bamboo Army can maximize our combat power, it can also return to our original intention. .”

This time, Fu Kaishan did not refute, but he also did not agree and remained silent.

Wang Chonghua glanced at his two brothers, and then his eyes fell on Lin Jie, with a hint of a smile on his face.

"Little friend Lin's analysis is very clear and logical, but I have a question. You are only at the Golden Core Realm and you are just a small sergeant major in the army. How did you know that the decisive battle between the North and the South was coming?"

After hearing this, Lin Jie's expression did not change at all, and he said with a smile: "I defected from Beiming before, and I have been observing the situation, so I guessed that the decisive battle between the North and the South was imminent."

"Hahaha!"

Wang Chonghua burst out laughing: "Do you really think that this general is a fool? Tell me, your Excellency, you sneaked into the Black Front Camp and pretended to be a sergeant major. What do you want?"

As soon as he said this, Fu Kaishan was furious. He stood up from his seat and shouted: "I have long seen that something is wrong with this kid. It turns out that he is really a spy! Tell me, who ordered your kid? What's the matter?" attempt?"

"Second brother, wait a moment before you get angry."

Fan Jin smiled slightly, stood up from his seat, and grabbed the angry Fu Kaishan.

"This fellow Taoist is able to hide his true aura in front of the three of us and the three of us, and it has not been revealed until now, which shows how strong he is. Looking at Nanxuan's army, I really can't think of anyone with such strength and corresponding motives. Come on. You think so, Liang Shuai?"

"What?" Fu Kaishan was surprised, "You said he is."

Fan Jin smiled and said nothing, and the three of them all looked at "Lin Jie" in the audience.

"Lin Jie" was seen smiling, looking calm and calm from beginning to end. Even though he was suspected by Wang Chonghua and made Fu Kaishan angry, his expression did not change at all.

"Awesome, awesome! The three chief generals of the Black Blade Battalion are indeed worthy of their reputation."

As he spoke, a burst of green light surrounded him. In just a moment, the green light dissipated, and the young black-armored general had disappeared, replaced by a tall man in gray.

"Introducing myself, Liang Yan, acting sect leader of Yuzhu Mountain and commander of the Bamboo Army." The man in gray said calmly.

"It's really you!"

Wang Chonghua seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, his face was calm, and there was no sign of emotion or anger.

"It's really that Liang Yan!" Fu Kaishan's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief on his face, "Why do you, the commander of the army, come to our Black Front camp and become a soldier?"

Liang Yan laughed and said: "Brother Fu, I have been a soldier under you for a month! During this time, I have understood the problems of the Black Front Camp clearly. Although Liang's identity is fake, what he just said is from Based on the actual interests of the Black Front Camp, there are no lies."

"This" Fu Kaishan touched the back of his head, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Wang Chonghua was still calm, waved his hand and shouted: "Come here, set the stage, please take the seat of Commander Liang!"
