Chapter 581: Next Steps
"Surrender and don't kill, surrender and don't kill." Hearing Shen Yan's words, the soldiers of the Great Xia Royal Army on the hillside shouted after Lang Sheng.
Hearing Shen Yan's words, a hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the eight generals under Li Yanlong's command, just as Shen Yan said, he and others did lose enough money, if it wasn't for Li Yanlong being too crazy, he and others would still lose to Li Yanlong in the end, but at least they could fight with Shen Yan a few times.
"It's not impossible to want us to surrender." The eight generals glanced at each other a few times, some of them had a touch of helplessness in their eyes, some of them showed a touch of unwillingness in their eyes, and some of them had a trace of resentment written in their eyes.
"If there are any conditions, as long as they are not too outrageous, I will consider them at my discretion." Shen Yan wanted to say that he wanted to talk to me about the conditions, but there was no way at all, but Shen Yan couldn't pretend to be forced to do so, so with a faint look in his eyes, he glanced at the general's eyes, and said lightly.
"Don't disrupt us, don't force us to surrender, and let any brothers leave if they want to leave." The general's eyes had a look of apprehension, and although there was not the slightest wave on his face, there was still a hint of tremor in his words.
"Haha, are you thinking of me too brutally?" Hearing the conditions offered by the other party, a touch of surprise appeared on Shen Yan's face, and then he laughed loudly.
"The soldiers of the Great Xia Royal Army under my command at least have troops from your White Lotus Sect, if I have too much malice and killing intent towards you, do you think I will use your White Lotus Sect's troops, you have such thoughts can only show that your vision is too low, how can you consider the problem comprehensively, maybe your failure is not only that you have an imbecile general, but also that you yourself have serious shortcomings."
"Look at the soldiers of the Great Xia Royal Army under my command, if you take out any one, you can single out three or five of you, but this is just a reflection of their bravery, but their strategies are also constantly growing, a person can only be an outstanding person if he combines wit and bravery, and he will shine no matter where he puts it."
"It's not that I despise you, with your strength, even if you surrender to my command, you can only be a small soldier." When Shen Yan said this, a look of indifference appeared in his eyes, and he glanced at the general of the White Lotus Sect in front of him.
"Don't think I'm hitting you, I'm just telling the truth, if you are not convinced or don't believe it, I believe that as long as you stay, after a period of time together, you will know whether what I told you is true or not." Shen Yan saw that there was a look in the general's eyes that he wanted to refute but didn't dare to refute, a hearty smile appeared on Shen Yan's face, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said slowly.
"As long as you can do that, I'm willing to surrender." After hesitating for a moment, a determined look finally flashed in the general's eyes, met Shen Yan's indifferent gaze, and said loudly.
"Huang Weiqian, you take everyone to count how many of these people are willing to surrender and how many are unwilling, and give me an answer in half an hour." A hearty smile appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he said loudly to Huang Weiqian on the hillside.
"Brother Shen, congratulations, you won another game." Gao Yong accompanied Huang Weiqian over, Huang Weiqian took Pei Xiangdong and others to let the White Lotus Sect reinforcements stand in a certain queue, while Gao Yong accompanied Xia Yuanxu and others to stand beside Shen Yan, a touch of surprise and joy appeared on his face, and he said loudly.
Before the start of this battle, Gao Yong didn't have much hope, three thousand against twenty thousand, although the combat effectiveness of the Great Xia Royal Army was extraordinary, but this White Lotus Sect was known as the elite of the White Lotus Sect, even if Shen Yan wanted to win, it was not an easy task, but the result made Gao Yong feel extremely shocked, and Shen Yan won too easily.
"All this is the emperor's blessings, I'm just getting the emperor's blessings." An honest smile appeared on Shen Yan's face.
Shen Yan knew that Gao Yong was sincerely congratulating him, but the other three people from the Ouchi guards were like they owed him five million, as long as they saw that they all had a straight face and had never smiled at themselves, Shen Yan had to wonder if these three people were from other forces, and secretly revealed their news.
It's not that Shen Yan is too careful, but Shen Yan has to be careful, his sudden rise has already attracted the attention of many forces, and will even be suppressed by many forces, but these forces have not yet fully acted. Besides, no one can hold the people of the Ouchi guards who are loyal to the emperor, otherwise the emperor would not have established the Jinyi School again, and he was the Ouchi guard, and he also secretly made a secret spy, as the so-called unpredictable people's hearts, before becoming an absolute ally, anyone may become Shen Yan's enemy.
"The waiter is too modest." A sincere smile appeared on Xia Yuanxu's face, the greater Shen Yan's credit, the higher his development.
"Waiter, what's next?"
"The next plan has not yet been fully formed, the main thing is to see how many of these surrendered troops are willing to surrender, if the number of surrendered is large, then we need to slow down the rhythm for the time being, first train this force well, although we don't expect them to go into battle to kill the enemy, but at least they can't turn against each other on the battlefield." A touch of contemplation flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, and he kept thinking about this next action plan in his mind.
Under normal circumstances, he has achieved such a big victory, he should take the opportunity to lure the enemy, and then take the opportunity to implement the strategy of movement and combat formulated before, however, the current situation has changed slightly, and the strength under his command is only a little more than three thousand, once this White Lotus Sect surrender army is willing to surrender to him, then he will start to form a servant army, and spend a little time training and running-in. As for other strategies, it can be slowed down for the time being.
Moreover, if Shen Yan hadn't expected it wrong, once the White Lotus Sect Leader knew that he had successfully eliminated this White Lotus Sect force, he would definitely be extremely shocked, and at the same time, he would adjust his combat strategy against Lingnan, change the siege instead of attacking to attacking, and take Lingnan at all costs to alleviate the impact of the grain and grass being burned by himself.
With the offensive of the White Lotus Sect, the troops in Lingnan County could not be stopped at all, so the fall of Lingnan was almost doomed.
It's just that the leader of the White Lotus Sect wants to completely wipe out the Jinling front army in Lingnan, or does he want to maintain a certain strength and let the Jinling front army survive, and the resistance of this Jinling front army will be weakened.
If he was the leader of the White Lotus Sect, he would definitely let the Jinling Front Army have a way out, solve Lingnan first, and alleviate the grain and grass crisis. As for the Jinling front army, there is no big climate, even if the White Lotus Sect releases them, it is estimated that they can get out of Lingnan alive is only about 10,000. Moreover, the most critical point is that the leader of the White Lotus Sect will definitely not let the Jinling Qianjun meet Jinling, but let them enter the hinterland of Huaibei County and use grain and grass materials to drag down the will of the Jinling Qianjun.
An army without a will is like a tiger without claws, without any danger.
