Chapter 336 Natural Beauty
Qin Luoshuang's first thought in changing himself was to think carefully about how much advantage Changshan County had.
The main force consists of 40,000 people. After this period of fighting, their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved and their fighting will is very strong.
They are fully equipped with weapons, including giant weapons "sent" by the giant troops, and have sufficient heavy firepower.
It can be said that Changshan County’s regular army has reached the level of the empire’s elite forces.
The human security forces already have more than 200,000 people, their morale is good, and their combat effectiveness is not weak.
The Human Security Army is based on regiments as combat units. Currently, there are sixteen regiments, with an average of nine thousand people in each regiment.
But the military leader Fu Yixiu, who had just surrendered, was an exception.
He retained his designation and unit, and joined the Human Security Force as a reorganized army.
Military leader Fu Yixiu was a very cautious man with a very conservative style. He abided by the official standards advocated by the empire.
There are very few such people nowadays, because the official standards of the empire are too perfect and almost no one can meet them.
It includes: loyalty, bravery, filial piety, benevolence, faith, justice, peace, courtesy, diligence, thrift and helping others.
Expanding on these points, the total number of words is 1.1 million, covering almost all areas of human behavior. Every word is precious, profound, and each link is closely linked, rigorous and neat.
If we only use this criterion, the empire is full of saints who are detached from the world.
In Qin Luoshuang's opinion, apart from robots, she doesn't think anyone can meet the requirements of this code. It is completely a piece of paper pasted on the face of the empire.
Fu Yixiu was one of the few people who believed it. He always carried a thick copy of "Imperial Training" with him and tried to move closer to this direction, adhering to the concept of "there is no two suns in the sky, there is no two masters for the people, only things are done impartially, and both emotion and reason are taken into consideration."
Although his surrender was not explicitly stated, Qin Luoshuang guessed that it was related to the Princess Faction.
From this, we can further infer that Lin Wen must have a secret relationship with the First Princess.
His previous behavior of spreading the news of his relationship with the First Princess was probably a means of pretending to be real.
Tell the truth in an absurd way so that people think it is nonsense.
"This guy is obviously very smart and cunning, but he plays the fool."
Qin Luoshuang thought.
"He doesn't even talk properly. He's always talking nonsense. Even when he says sweet words, they're so awkward and don't move people at all."
Oops, my thoughts are all over the place, I need to concentrate...
Qin Luoshuang knocked his head, trying to retract his wandering thoughts and continue thinking along the original line of thought.
"Fu Yixiu should be trustworthy. He and his 60,000 reorganized troops can become the backbone of the security forces. This way, we will have a total force of over 240,000, equivalent to an entire Shizhou army."
"Shizhou has a high standing military strength. However, the rebels are in Ganning County, like a thorn in their throat. They must send more than two Shizhou troops to defend the perimeter."
"Combined with the local troops stationed in various places, Shizhou can only dispatch two armies at most to deal with us."
"If Lin Wen can fully predict all the actions of the Shizhou troops on someone else's territory, it's not difficult to imagine us achieving several victories."
Thinking of this, my thoughts suddenly became clear.
"With our winning streak, we can take the stage at the negotiation table as victors. Even if Shizhou stubbornly refuses to concede, the Empire will force him to do so, and we can gain greater benefits."
"I'm willing to accept the loss, and the group behind Shizhou has nothing to say."
So that's how it is, I understand...
Qin Luoshuang slapped his forehead and thought that this guy just refused to speak properly. He could just say it directly, but he insisted on making everyone guess riddles.
Humph, the Riddler is so annoying.
Although she had been such a riddler before, she deliberately forgot this history at this time.
"If this is our goal, then our attack route should be to a remote, concealed location that is convenient for our surprise attack. Important towns and strongholds like Jiangkou and Pingpan Castle must not be attacked. Only small rural towns can be attacked."
"Hmm... attacking Lianshan Town is a good choice. It's located in a remote area with many mountains in front and behind, which is suitable for an ambush. Lin Wen must have thought so too."
Qin Luoshuang had made up his mind and walked out of the command center excitedly. The army had already assembled. A total of 240,000 troops were marching out of the Qichuan Mountains military camp in a mighty manner.
Not far away, Lin Wen was talking with the newly surrendered former army commander Fu Yixiu, accompanied by a group of generals.
Fu Yixiu was a middle-aged man with a serious face and a big mustache. He seemed very respectful to Lin Wen.
But in terms of his identity, he is the commander of the imperial army with the rank of major general.
In terms of rank, he is higher than Lin Wen, and this kind of internal surrender is not a stain at all. It is just equivalent to changing sides and will not have any impact on his military career.
Moreover, the military power that Lin Wen actually possesses is greater than that of the Governor of Shizhou, equivalent to the Governor-Generals like Wang Boan and Sheng Huaixuan.
Theoretically, he is fully capable of taking on the position of army commander, but his rank is too low, which makes it seem a bit ridiculous.
And this is the fundamental reason why Qin Luoshuang believes that Fu Yixiu can be trusted - his presence in Changshan County is legally backed.
Qin Luoshuang walked over and heard Fu Yixiu say, "... Commander Lin, I think it's best for us to hold our ground and wait for help. The gap in strength between us and Shizhou is huge, and because of our unique situation, we are practically isolated and helpless, while Shizhou has many allies... Proactively attacking would be unwise!"
Before Lin Wen could say anything, Qin Luoshuang spoke first, "Commander Fu, this is only one-sided. You only see Shizhou's strengths, but not ours. This is a typical surrender perspective."
Fu Yixiu turned his head and his beard trembled.
"Ms. Qin."
He has been dealing with the Southwest region for many years and is an old rival. Naturally, he knows Qin Xiao, the eldest daughter of the Qin Group, the long-renowned dream goddess of the Southwest, and the only successor Qin Gang once designated.
"Your father is the biggest obstacle. He is Shizhou's largest geopolitical ally. You should know how powerful your father is. If Shizhou asks the Qin Group for help, we will have no chance of winning."
Qin Luoshuang smiled and said, "Commander Fu, I naturally understand my family's thoughts best. The Qin Group is indeed very strong, but precisely because it is so strong, it dares not act rashly."
This was only half the sentence, a typical Riddler's way of speaking.
But Fu Yixiu was already used to it, as the empire was full of such riddle-makers.
Because some things cannot be said openly.
Fu Yixiu fell silent, lowered his head, and quickly understood what Qin Luoshuang meant. Most of the people around him also understood it a little bit, and those who didn't quite understand knew not to ask lightly.
Except Lin Wen.
He asked directly: "Why? Is the Empire afraid that he will rebel?"
Bang!
Qin Luoshuang covered her face.
"I really don't know whether you are really smart or just pretending to be smart..."
To ease the awkwardness, Fu Yixiu quickly found a new topic and said, "So, this time, Miss Qin must have a brilliant plan to win."
Qin Luoshuang also wanted to quickly diffuse the awkward atmosphere, so she replied, "Of course we do. We have a high chance of winning, which will allow us to gain greater benefits at the negotiation table."
Fu Yixiu nodded, understanding their intention.
"In that case, I'm relieved. My generals and I will fight with all our might and ensure the stability of the human security forces. Please rest assured, County Magistrate Lin, Miss Qin, Commander Fang, and Commander Wang."
The generals laughed together and said, "That's great. Thank you for troubling me, Commander Fu."
Fu Yixiu asked, "Do we have a route?"
Qin Luoshuang said confidently, "Chief Lin and I have already discussed it. We will start from the small places and fight first..."
Lin Wen interjected, "First, attack Jiangkou, then conquer Pancheng, and finally destroy the Governor."
Crack.
It was the sound of a jaw breaking.
Lin Wen saw that everyone around him looked unacceptable and knew that he would have to waste time talking to her again. He hated doing this kind of work and usually had to do it out of necessity, but now that a coolie happened to be in his line of fire, he just threw it to her.
"This is Chief of Staff Qin's suggestion. Let her explain it to everyone. She will definitely be able to convince you."
After saying that, Lin Wen ran away, leaving Qin Luoshuang, who was so angry that she was about to have a nuclear fusion.
——
In the end, the team adopted Lin Wen's opinion.
Qin Luoshuang talked until her cheeks were sore and her brain was drained. She invented at least thirty unheard-of imperial black technologies for Lin Wen before she could barely convince everyone.
Afterwards, he took care of various chores, including intelligence work, reconnaissance work, logistics work, etc.
Fighting on home soil is different from fighting outside of home soil, and many things become complicated.
After leaving the Qichuan Mountains, you will leave Changshan County, and outside is the vast Gobi Desert.
To the southwest of the Great Gobi Desert is Shizhou, to the west is the friendly Yunzhou, and to the northwest is Lingzhou.
It takes more than 20 kilometers to walk southwest to reach Shizhou.
It was not until night that Qin Luoshuang finished a bunch of chores, selected the officials to stay behind, discussed and arranged the rear-end work with Wolong, and caught up with the main force by car.
The edge of the Gobi Desert where the large army is stationed is only one step away from Shizhou.
At a glance, whether it is the regular army or the security forces, the military camps are neat and tidy and in strict order.
Needless to say, the regular army, and although the human security forces are loose, when the regiment commanders see Fu Yixiu, the serious commander, they subconsciously obey his orders.
This also brought about an unexpected effect. There was always a group of people in the human security army who were not at ease and planned to leave the team after paying off Lin Wen's debt.
But as soon as the imperial army commander arrived, the demeanor of the entire security army suddenly changed, as if it had become a regular army in the imperial region.
Many people suddenly changed their minds and decided to work here for the rest of their lives. The environment in Changshan County was too good for the powerless soldiers.
Military merit is fair and transparent. Whether it is upgrading or exchanging for money, there will always be benefits, and there is no need for pensions for those who die in battle to be laundered.
With the organization of a regular army, everything is perfect.
As soon as Qin Luoshuang got off the car, she went straight to Lin Wen's tent. All the patrolling guards and sentries on duty at the door were her people. She broke in without any notification and interrupted Lin Wen's cultivation process.
Lin Wen sat up in bed, looking very unhappy.
"Is there anything you can't tell me tomorrow?"
Qin Luoshuang's face was covered with frost as she looked at him coldly without saying a word.
Lin Wen scratched his head: "What?"
Qin Luoshuang said coldly: "What are you talking about?"
Lin Wen yawned loudly. "I say, you didn't come all this way just to see me, Haitang in spring, sleeping like a beautiful girl? Well, now you've seen it, you've taken advantage of it, you can go back now, right?"
Crack.
Qin Luoshuang broke the corner of the table.
She suppressed her raging anger and asked, "Why did you attack Jiangkou and Pingpancheng? Don't you know that they are the few important towns and strongholds in Shizhou?"
Lin Wen said, "I know."
"Why go if you know?"
"If I don't go to important strongholds, how can I make money? Robbing civilians? Do you think I don't have enough bad karma? Do you want me to stay in the physical world forever?"
"You're here again!" Qin Luoshuang said angrily, "Can you please stop talking nonsense when I'm angry?"
Lin Wen rubbed his temples, trying to gather his scattered thoughts.
He stood up and turned on the desk lamp, and the dim light illuminated the dim tent.
Looking up, I saw a beautiful woman standing by the table in the dim light. She had a pretty face, charming eyes, and a hint of anger. She was a most beautiful sight in the world. It was a pity that she was dressed in military uniform and had not yet become an immortal.
Lin Wen was stunned and asked, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you say you had discussed it with me during the day?"
Qin Luoshuang got angry when she thought about this: "Has that been discussed? I originally wanted to attack Lianshan Town!"
"Then why did you say we've discussed it?"
Qin Luoshuang blushed, "This...Isn't this just for you..."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "But you don't understand, right? Why don't you just ask me directly? I can tell you, if you rushed in so hastily, others would think you had some ulterior motives."
The blush on Qin Luoshuang's face extended all the way to her neck.
"You, why do you always like to say that? It's very fulfilling to make girls fall for you, right?"
Although it was an accusation, the tone was very weak.
Lin Wen laughed and said, "You're narrow-minded. What does it mean to be attached to someone? Men and women are equal. It's the same whether a man pursues a woman or a woman pursues a man. I'm naturally beautiful, one of a kind. It's normal for opposites to be attracted to each other. It's just a pity that in the physical world, there's no one who meets my standards for a partner."
It was the first time Qin Luoshuang heard him talk about choosing a spouse, so she couldn't help but ask, "What are your criteria for choosing a spouse?"
"The basic standard is to be able to fly with a sword..."
