Chapter 669: The Great Road or the Mountain Road

"My lord, the last general feels that it is certainly a way to boost morale, but this price is very high, and the last general feels that it is more realistic to avoid the enemy and win a greater victory." Ding Sanlin's eyes flashed with a touch of wisdom, this battle is like a clever hunter who will definitely try his best to weaken the attack power of the beast when hunting the beast, so as to give the beast a fatal blow, and will definitely not choose to fight the beast hard.

"Lao Ding's idea is good, but in this way, it will appear that our confidence is insufficient, if the White Lotus Sect's Wen Xiang seizes this opportunity, the last general is worried that the morale of the soldiers will be affected, whether it is the Great Xia Royal Army or the servant army, the training time is not long enough, except for a very small number of soldiers who will not be affected by the outside world, most of the soldiers are still very vulnerable to external influences." Jing Shaoze's eyes flashed with a hint of worry, and he also wanted to avoid the enemy and win the greatest victory with the smallest everyone, but the soldier's emotions were also a crucial factor.

"The soldier's emotions mentioned by Lao Jing are very good, this battle is very difficult to fight, so we must take care of the soldiers' emotions, and every time we deploy and fight, we stand in the position of a general, and never consider the feelings and emotions of the soldiers, which is our mistake." Shen Yan's brows furrowed slightly, he really didn't think much about this aspect, although he advocated getting the biggest victory at the lowest cost every time, but he still stood more on a utilitarian mentality.

"I don't know the details of the opponent, and we can't lose face yet, and we have to take care of the emotions of the soldiers, this battle is really not easy to fight." Pei Xiangdong's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some embarrassment.

"There is no such good thing in the world, which is not only in your heart, but also in my will." Shen Yan smiled faintly and said slowly.

"Although I don't know the details of Zou Yankai, and I can't be sure whether the minister Cui Shaonian is going with the army, but we can imagine that Cui Shaonian is traveling with the army, then the real commander of this battle is Cui Shaonian and not Zou Yankai, so it is estimated that there is a great risk in the strategy of showing the enemy to be weak and luring the enemy into depth. Shen Yan pondered for a moment, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, and with a hint of confidence, he said slowly.

"What do you mean by a tough fight, a head-on fight with the White Lotus Sect?" Hearing Shen Yan's words, a trace of contemplation flashed in Pei Xiangdong's eyes, and he said slowly.

"Hard-hitting, although we have such strength, but, I don't want to cause too many casualties, after all, our training time is too short, the number is not large, if the loss is too large, then there is a great risk to our next strategy, so, as a last resort, I still don't want to fight with the opponent." Hearing Pei Xiangdong's words, Shen Yan shook his head slightly, with a hint of contemplation and confidence in his eyes, and said slowly.

"My lord, you don't think it's just to avoid the enemy, if that's the case, then this battle will be too boring." Wei Chongan's brows furrowed slightly, met Shen Yan's confident gaze, and said loudly with a look of loss.

"Show the enemy weak?" A hearty and confident smile appeared between Shen Yan's eyebrows, glanced at Wei Chongan, and said slowly.

"No, if Cui Shaonian goes with the army, this trick won't work at all, instead of wasting time and fighters like this, it's better to put aside these two inherent ideas and change the way of thinking."

"The words of adults are too profound, and my brain is not enough." Hearing Shen Yan's words, Wei Chongan touched the back of his head, without the slightest look of embarrassment on his face, and said slowly.

"If you usually use your brain more, you will play stupid." A refreshing smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he made a joke about Wei Chongan.

"The White Lotus Sect has 60,000, and the Great Xia Royal Army and the Servant Army add up to a little more than 20,000, although we don't have any advantage in numbers, but we are not without the slightest advantage, so although this battle is difficult to fight, it doesn't mean that we don't have any hope of winning." The corners of Shen Yan's mouth raised slightly, and with a hearty smile, he said slowly.

"There are two roads to go from Lingnan to Changdong County, one is to cross Jingshui, there are three bridges on Jingshui, although it is more than 100 years, it is still very strong. The other way is through Lingshan, and if you want to cross Lingshan, you have to cross a winding mountain road. Shen Yan said this, turned his hand and walked to a simple sand table in front of him, a trace of contemplation flashed in his eyes, staring at the sand table tightly, thinking constantly in his mind, suddenly his eyes lit up, with a trace of confidence, and said slowly.

"Do you want to set up an ambush on one of these roads, and then take the opportunity to create chaos and take the opportunity to destroy this White Lotus Sect?" Pei Xiangdong followed the winding mountain road and bridge pointed by Shen Yan's right hand, a look of enlightenment flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly with a hint of joy.

"It's just that the White Lotus Sect should take which way?"

"Although the three bridges are flat, they will increase the distance by more than half a day, and although the winding mountain road is rugged, it can shorten the journey by half a day, if you are the main general of the White Lotus Sect or the minister of the Wenxiang, will you choose a flat bridge or a winding mountain road that shortens the time?" Shen Yan said with an indifferent smile.

"Of course, it's a smooth road, so although it takes half a day, there is no risk along the way." Liu Demin said without thinking.

"I don't think so, the situation in Changdong County is a huge bait for the White Lotus Sect, I think we should take the winding mountain road, so that we can arrive outside Changdong County half a day in advance, and we can have more time to understand the situation." A hint of contemplation flashed in Guo Jinarc's eyes, and he said slowly.

"The White Lotus Sect must have done a thorough study of our tactics, and they must have known that what we are best at is setting up ambushes on mountain roads, so it is unlikely that they will take mountain roads." Fang Butong frowned.

"Both paths are possible, and now we can't be sure which one the White Lotus Sect will take, however, time waits for no one, and if we want to get accurate news, we don't have enough time to set up an ambush, so we can only rely on luck to gamble on which way the White Lotus Sect will go." Hearing that the generals under his command said that it was a flat bridge, and some said that it was a rugged winding mountain road, Shen Yan always had a hearty smile on his face, and after everyone expressed their opinions, Shen Yan glanced at everyone calmly and said slowly.
