Chapter 2736: Defeat Before Fighting
The strategy formulated by several deputy commanders couldn't be simpler and more straightforward.
The commanders of these legions had been on the battlefield with Kuishan for a long time. They knew at a glance that they would definitely lose, and they immediately became more determined not to send troops without Kuishan's leadership.
After they settled down, all the armies went back to prepare.
Only the commanders of the five elite legions gathered together and went to Kuishan's tent to ask Kuishan to lead them.
"Sigh, I can no longer protect myself in this situation.
The other party has used a stratagem to alienate me, and the dynasty does not believe me and will not give me command authority."
Kuishan sighed: "I can only advise you to adapt to circumstances. If you can't beat them, run away quickly and try to preserve your strength!"
"If you don't lead us, we don't want to send troops.
Because according to the plan drawn up by those few people, we will definitely lose..." a commander said to Kuishan.
But Kuishan quickly waved his hand and stopped him from talking.
He didn't want to hear their battle plan for fear of being implicated.
He just said: "I am just analyzing based on actual conditions. No matter how you fight, you have no chance of winning.
I don't want to dampen your morale either.
But since you come to ask me, this is what I say.
You don't have to support your troops to resist orders.
Whether we go out on an expedition or not is up to you.
On the contrary, by forcing me out, you actually harmed me and made me take the blame for this defeat.
I will definitely die after the war!"
When the five commanders heard this, they were all discouraged.
"Don't we have any chance of winning?"
One of the commanders asked unconvinced.
Kuishan smiled bitterly and asked them: "You have seen their strength before.
They now have 1.5 million elite soldiers alone, but they don't include ordinary soldiers.
Coupled with the mobile demon army, they are all powerful soldiers who dominate the realm.
There are also equipment, resources, morale, and command. Which one is not better than us?
This kind of large-scale corps combat is not like a small group of troops fighting guerrillas, and can also conduct sneak attacks.
You have all been commanders for many years, if it were you who were in charge, what would you do to deal with them?"
After Kuishan finished speaking, these people were completely speechless.
Then a commander asked Kuishan for advice: "Then what should we do?
Just go and die?"
Kuishan did not explicitly ask them to surrender, but only said to them: "Under the current situation, if you don't send troops, you are relying on your own troops and you will be punished by military law.
If you send troops, you will die in battle! There is nothing I can do now. I can only advise you to take care of yourself!
You should go back and prepare quickly. If you stay here for a long time, I am afraid that others will suspect me and say that I am deceiving the people and disrupting the morale of the army.
They won’t think that you came to me, they will say that I summoned you here!”
Several commanders had no choice but to silently salute Kuishan and say goodbye.
But as soon as they came out, they were surrounded by the strong men and deputy commanders who were monitoring Kuishan.
"What did you guys say to Kuishan?
Recruit truthfully!"
A deputy commander scolded them.
"Let's go and say goodbye to the commander-in-chief.
how?
We have been with him for so many years, and if we go to say goodbye, we will be censored by you?"
A commander said angrily.
"Kuishan's current problem has not been explained clearly. He is suspected of collaborating with the enemy. If you tell him about our battle plan, he will leak it to the enemy!"
Another deputy commander threatened.
"Don't think so badly of the Commander-in-Chief! The Commander-in-Chief is aboveboard. We just want to say it, but the Commander-in-Chief won't let us say it."
They are naturally very dissatisfied when they are suspected. After all, they are the commanders of an army of 100,000 elite soldiers, and their strength and command ability are no worse than those of these deputy commanders. They are naturally dissatisfied when they threaten them.
There is nothing we can do about those deputy commanders now.
They were about to raise an army, and now there were five commanders together. Even if they wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, they did not dare to do it for fear of causing a disturbance.
So a deputy commander had no choice but to say: "We have recorded your behavior.
Once we discover that the plan is leaked or you have any unusual behavior during the war, don't blame us for being rude!"
"What do we do?
Who said it’s not okay to say goodbye to Commander Kuishan?”
One commander was so angry that he started to argue with them, but was pulled away by others, and the two parties broke up unhappy.
"Too arrogant! Did you see it?
These are the soldiers Kuishan brought out! Can such soldiers win the battle?
Once a war breaks out, they will definitely be the first to surrender!"
A deputy commander waited for them to leave and said to the others.
"Be patient, we still need them now.
Moreover, it doesn’t matter whether the secret of our plan is leaked or not, we can just start fighting, so there is no need to worry.”
The other deputy commander was still calming down the matter.
"But we have to guard against them and arrange them on both wings of the army to prevent them from causing any trouble.
If they surrender later, no one can stop them.
If you surrender at the front, the entire battle will be affected."
Another deputy commander also proposed to be careful with these commanders, lest they surrender when the time comes.
"Yes, we have to guard against them, but it's not safe to put them on the wings.
They should be split up and placed on the two wings, front, center, and rear. Once they make any changes, let other commanders kill them."
Another deputy commander also suggested.
Although the commanders of the legions also announced the evacuation of troops after returning, they gathered together secretly to discuss it.
"Commander Kuishan means that if we don't send troops, we will be killed for disobeying military orders.
If we send troops, we will be killed by the other side.
But what if we surrender?"
.\n
These commanders have been following Kuishan for a long time, so they can certainly hear the implication behind his words.
"I think he was hinting at us.
Do you think that Commander Kuishan has surrendered to the enemy, or has been controlled by the enemy like Commander Qiang Hui?"
A commander said suspiciously.
Another commander denied: "No.
He told the truth.
I don't think he can solve this situation.
He really thought we would be defeated, that's why he said this.
If he surrendered or was controlled, why would he be so kind as to give us hints?
We ourselves are not without judgment.
If the command of the army is given to you, who of you thinks we can win this battle?"
As soon as he said this, several other commanders nodded in agreement.
"good.
Commander Kuishan has been stripped of his military power, his true energy has been sealed, and he is still under the close surveillance of those masters, so the other party no longer needs to control him."
At this time, several commanders looked at each other, nodded to each other, and made the final decision.
That is to prepare to decide to surrender collectively to save lives.
They are not afraid of sacrifice, they just don't want to make fearless sacrifices under the leadership of a few losers.
Therefore, the coalition forces were actually doomed to defeat before they even set off for the expedition this time.
