Chapter 556 Small Peasant Thoughts
"My lord, after listening to Lao Pei's suggestion, the last general has been thinking about a question, how would the high-level leaders of the White Lotus Sect react if they knew that we had bypassed Lingnan?" Fang Butong's eyes showed a touch of contemplation, glanced at Shen Yan, and said slowly.
"Oh, then in your opinion, how does the White Lotus Church react?" Shen Yan asked with interest.
"The end is not very clear, to be exact, the end of the past experience and experience can not guess the higher level of decision-making." A look of helplessness flashed in Fang Butong's eyes, and then a hearty smile appeared on his face, not enough experience in the past does not mean that it is not enough now and in the future, at least under the leadership of Shen Yan, his horizons have broadened a lot, and the level of considering problems has also risen a lot.
"After the White Lotus Sect leaders knew that we had bypassed Lingnan, their first reaction was to know how many troops we had, and the second was what our strategic intentions were to bypass Lingnan, so the last general felt that the White Lotus Sect leaders would definitely guess that our target was their grain and grass, and once the grain and grass were destroyed, it meant that they wouldn't have to think about having a good time this winter."
"Well, there's some truth to your analysis. If you are a high-ranking member of the White Lotus Sect, what will you do after knowing our strategic intentions? Shen Yan nodded slightly, a look of approval appeared in his eyes, and said slowly.
"If it is the last general, the last general will definitely send a force of no less than 50,000 to the grain and grass distribution center quickly, if you are lucky, you can arrive before us, then you can ensure the safety of the grain and grass, if you are late, then find a way to eliminate us, it can be regarded as a reward."
"In view of this possible situation, the last general's suggestion is the same as that of the old guard, attack the Wuzhou Mansion first, and after the White Lotus Sect is empty, they will definitely be very anxious, and at this time, when they hear that the Wuzhou Mansion is captured, the White Lotus Sect will definitely be eager to find us and fight with us, at that time, we will pounce on the White Lotus Sect's grain and grass distribution center from another way, so that we can fully achieve the expected combat intentions."
"Don't divide the troops, and attack Wuzhou Mansion first?" After Shen Yan listened to Fang Butong's analysis, a touch of contemplation appeared in his eyes, and he paced back and forth in place.
"My lord, the last general agrees with the analysis of the first half of the old house, and the second half of the end will have his own ideas." After Ding Sanlin quietly listened to Fang Butong's analysis, he continued to nod slightly, and a touch of contemplation appeared in his eyes.
"Oh, what do you think differently, let's hear it." Shen Yan's eyes lit up, glanced at Ding Sanlin, and said loudly.
"After the White Lotus Sect knows our combat intentions, it will have two choices, the first is to give the order to attack Lingnan as Lao Fang said." Ding Sanlin's eyes flashed with a glint of wisdom, glanced at Shen Yan, and said loudly.
"It's impossible, if the White Lotus Sect had attacked Lingnan, it would have been attacked long ago, why wait until today, besides, once the White Lotus Sect chooses to attack Lingnan, it means that their political intentions have failed." After Huang Weiqian heard Ding Sanlin's words, a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly grabbed the words and said.
"Lao Huang, everything will change with the change of the environment, the White Lotus Sect does have his political intentions in besieging Lingnan, but once it is known that we bypass Lingnan and the intention to fight, even if the White Lotus Sect sends a large number of troops to encircle and suppress us, it is better to choose to capture Lingnan, and then hold Lingnan, and then concentrate superior forces to eliminate us in one fell swoop, and then, capture Xiangzhou Mansion, and launch an offensive to other counties, with the strength of the local Xiang army, how can it be the opponent of the White Lotus Sect." A confident smile flashed in Ding Sanlin's eyes, and he said loudly.
"The capture of Lingnan not only solves the negative impact of the destruction of grain and grass by us, but also implements a new strategic intention, holding Lingnan to block the army of the imperial court, and then waving troops to attack other counties, gradually expanding the territory, and gradually forming a territory and strength to compete with the imperial court."
"Lao Ding, since the White Lotus Sect has this grand combat intention, why has it not been implemented before, but has chosen to besiege Lingnan to achieve the purpose of political blackmail and strategic temptation. Second, if the White Lotus Sect follows the strategic intent you have in mind, then what impact will our capture of Wuzhou Mansion have on the strategic intent of the White Lotus Sect. Huang Weiqian's eyes showed a hint of contemplation, and then he asked loudly.
"The effect of the siege of Lingnan is similar to the situation of the siege of Xiangzhou Mansion at the beginning, it is all to test the reaction of the imperial court, since we already know the reaction of the imperial court, there is no need to test it again, this is one of them. Second, the foundation of the White Lotus Sect has always been in Huaibei County, if it rashly invades other counties, it is unknown whether the White Lotus Sect has such an influence, and once it is frustrated, it will inevitably affect the morale of the White Lotus Sect. Ding Sanlin smiled indifferently and said loudly.
"Lao Ding, I'm really tired of listening to your speech, trying to find out the reaction of the court, what is the reaction of the court? Second, didn't you just say that with the strength of the local army, you can't stop the White Lotus Sect's offensive at all, how can you let the White Lotus Sect be frustrated, isn't it a contradiction? Wei Chongan scratched the back of his head and asked a little incomprehensibly.
"Chong'an, it seems that you still have to use your brain more." Seeing Wei Chong'an's demeanor, Shen Yan smiled indifferently, took Wei Chongan's question, and said slowly.
"Our strategic intentions represent the reaction of the imperial court, or the failure of the imperial court to send a large number of troops to attack Lingnan represents the reaction of the imperial court. As for the second question, in fact, it is not contradictory, the strength of the local Shangxiang army has always been weak, but don't forget, the roots of the White Lotus Sect are in Huaibei County, and the other opponents do not have much foundation, the White Lotus Sect may be overwhelmed at the beginning, but it will encounter great obstacles in the middle and late stages, these places have princes in charge, and the situation of these princes is completely different from Huaibei County, plus once the battle line is extended, it will affect the strategic deployment of the White Lotus Sect and the effect of the order, the most critical point is that once the White Lotus Sect has the upper hand, the small peasant idea in the bones will emerge, thus restricting the development of the White Lotus Sect, so it is still very possible to be frustrated. ”
"I've always doubted the identity of the White Lotus Sect Leader, Wen Xiang and Generalissimo, a person with such talent and courage is definitely not an ordinary person, and it can't be an unknown person, but these three people seem to have fallen from the sky, which is really a bit abnormal, but unfortunately, we have never had the identity background of these three people."
"I'm always thinking about the identities of these three people in my mind, could they be the children of a certain family who joined the White Lotus Sect under a pseudonym? Only this grossly unreliable explanation can make sense. Shen Yan's idea can be described as groundbreaking, extremely bold, and it seems to have no foundation, but it seems to be a little reliable.
"The subordinates are very ashamed, they don't know the identity and background of these three people for so long in the White Lotus Sect." Huang Weiqian's eyes flashed a touch of helplessness, the identity and background of these three people are not known in the White Lotus Sect except for the Holy Mother, and the identity and background of the three sect leaders are even listed in the top secret, and anyone who inquires in private will be immediately punished with capital punishment once they are discovered.
"My lord, what is the idea of a small peasant?" When Huang Weiqian heard the term "small farmer's thoughts" for the first time, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes full of wisdom.
"The idea of a small peasant is a kind of ideological concept and behavioral habit formed for a long time in order to satisfy personal food and clothing, self-cultivation on a small piece of land, no constraints, no cooperation, and no exchange. There was a hint of helplessness in Shen Yan's eyes, he was not a person with the idea of a small peasant.
Of course, if you are not able to clearly see and face up to the shortcomings of small-scale peasant thinking, and consciously overcome small-scale peasant mentality, you will be different from thousands of small-scale peasant mentality.
