I really can't control myself

Linton also didn't expect that it would be much easier to persuade these 60,000 troops to surrender than he thought.

From the beginning, Linton followed the plan and released news among the prisoners that last night's battle was a collaboration between them and Zhang Chun, the Duke of Yao, who had agreed to cooperate inside and outside, and together they defeated the allied forces from the imperial court.

Of course, the soldiers didn't know what was going on. They still didn't understand who they were beaten by. Only now did they know that it was the troops of King Cheng Li Ying.

As for the internal and external cooperation with Zhang Chun, they also believed it. Otherwise, there really is no reason.

Most of the soldiers knew that what happened last night happened first in the camp of Gu Jingteng, Duke of Shu. At that time, many people said that it was Zhang Chun who attacked. Only now did they know that it was related to King Cheng Li Ying. Think about it, if there was no such relationship, how could Zhang Chun launch an attack, right? You should have a reason for your rebellion.

Now that we are cooperating with Li Ying, it sounds much more reasonable. At least it is more reasonable than not knowing how to explain it.

But this time, what they were worried about happened. Since Zhang Chun and Li Ying united, they were really rebelling, right?

Zhang Chunke didn't say hello to them at all before. Why did they suddenly become rebels?

Now what? They didn't seem to be involved in the rebellion. They didn't know what happened last night, but they were suddenly surrounded and then made prisoners. How come they have become rebels now? Is this explained clearly now?

While these soldiers were still confused, the people guarding them over there received an order, saying that Zhang Chun's men could come out.

Now it was even more confirmed that they were indeed together. These soldiers looked at the eyes of the other prisoners looking at them, and it seemed that the situation was indeed unclear. Because they themselves don't know whether their boss Zhang Chun is a rebel, and they can't tell whether they actually didn't rebel at all last night.

The problem now is that rebellion is obviously a major crime for the Nine Tribes. They seem to have boarded the pirate ship now, so what do you think we should do?

Go to the imperial court and abandon the dark side for the bright side? People may not believe it yet, maybe they will directly kill the Nine Clans when they go back. Well, since this road doesn't work, it seems that there is only... one road until it gets dark.

Yes, there is another key factor that allows them to make such a decision, and that is the residual power of this victory.

If this were a normal situation, even if this group of people were misunderstood, they would not simply follow the boat. But the current situation is obviously different. They actually experienced the battle last night.

Before this, the imperial court's army of more than 500,000 people jointly encircled and suppressed the rebels. How could they join Li Ying's side. But now, not only the vanguard troops at the front have been defeated, but now even the main force has been defeated by the rebels.

Under such circumstances, the balance of victory has obviously tilted towards the rebels. How about taking advantage of the situation and joining the rebels?

Anyway, to ordinary soldiers, it’s none of their business who wins and who loses. They just come to eat military rations. Whether it’s the current emperor or the emperor Li Ying, aren’t they all members of the royal family? How much do they really care about them? Sitting on this throne? Is it possible that they can still come and sit?

So soon something happened that Linton didn't expect. He heard that after Zhang Chun's people could get out of the prisoner camp, the remaining prisoners quit. They took the initiative to demand surrender, and there were quite a few of them.

So Xu Jing, who was in charge of this matter, thought about it and simply tried to persuade them all to surrender, saying that anyone who was willing to surrender and follow them could come. As a result, with such simple persuasion, most of the 60,000 people voted.

Even Linton himself underestimated the power of last night's battle, which not only defeated the imperial army, but also defeated the military morale.

In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, the emperor Li Ying may not have God's help. The more than 400,000 coalition forces in the imperial court were defeated by Li Ying. What else can stop him? Since God wants him to be emperor, aren't they seeking death if they stop him? Why don't you get on the boat quickly?

As for things like rebellion and implicating the Nine Tribes, the emperor is going to be doomed. He has not been able to get up and down for a few days. He is still worried about things like implicating the Nine Tribes. He can't even control himself, okay?

I have also said that Xu Jing's own organizational skills are very strong. Now that a large number of prisoners have joined, he immediately exerted his own abilities and began to integrate these prisoners.

These prisoners themselves came from various military formations, and the organization was extremely chaotic. Xu Jing simply started to integrate again.

Soon, the new 60,000-strong army was integrated. Not to mention that although most of this unit is composed of prisoners, the combat effectiveness of the unit is actually pretty good.

After all, these troops were regular troops of the imperial court at the beginning, and their quality was good. With a little integration, they could be used immediately.

The only troublesome thing is that there are not enough officers. After all, those who surrender are basically ordinary soldiers. As for the senior officers in the army, some of them died last night, and some of them escaped. After all, the senior officers were protected by the Guards and so on, so their escape was relatively smooth. However, Linton and the others did not have many troops themselves. This kind of thing can't be done at all.

There are not enough officers, and the organization of the troops is slightly problematic, but fortunately the morale of the troops is quite high. Everyone felt that they had a bright future, and they had plenty of food and grass.

Of course, there is also a very important point, that is, the soldiers know that their new general is the famous military god Linton.

Yes, Linton's name was already well-known throughout the country at this time. The surrendered soldiers heard that the one who defeated them was the military god Linton, and they all acted as if they were like that.

Xu Jing also discovered that Linton's name is really useful now, so he often borrowed Linton's name when persuading them to surrender and organizing them. The effect is outstanding, and the soldiers really like it.

In short, the whole army is extremely convinced of Linton. If I have to use a metaphor, it is probably that their loyalty is maxed out.

Then, not long after the troops were integrated, Linton's new order came again.

Yes, they were not given much time to adjust. The troops here had just been integrated, and Linton immediately issued the order to attack again.

Xu Jing was absolutely exhausted. He really started to integrate the troops right after the battle, and had to set off again just after integrating the troops. When Linton started talking, he really broke his leg.

But Xu Jing is quite happy with it. He feels that there are not many opportunities to learn from the God of War. This is all his luck.

And their next target is directly aimed at the capital.
