Chapter 558: Interesting Facts in the Court

"The people will obey." A serious look flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, and he had already made up his mind.

"The last general will wait for orders." Hearing Shen Yan's words, Pei Xiangdong and the others' eyes flashed with a hint of expectation, Shen Yan's decision will determine everyone's future life and death.

"According to the map, this is almost a day and a half away from Wuzhou Mansion, and the intelligence shows that this is less than half a day's journey from the White Lotus Sect's grain and grass distribution center, if you want me to give up this piece of fat to my mouth, I am really unwilling in my heart, but your analysis is very reasonable, I can't chew it because of greed, which is likely to cause us to have nothing." After some contemplation just now, Shen Yan already had an idea in his heart, and a strong confidence appeared in his eyes.

"So, I thought about it seriously just now, no matter whether the White Lotus Sect sends troops to attack us, or if we want to attack Lingnan, we must first let the White Lotus Sect starve for a few days, I decided to temporarily give up attacking Wuzhou Mansion, but first destroy the grain and grass of the White Lotus Sect, however, our biggest difficulty at present is that we are blind and do not know any information and information about the White Lotus Sect, in order not to catch turtles in the urn, it is necessary to leave some scouts to explore and collect the whereabouts of the White Lotus Sect in this area."

"Pei Xiangdong, you will be in charge of this matter, and you will send the first team of scouts later. At the same time, your first team will set off an hour later, and if the scouts find out about the White Lotus Sect, the first team will have to catch up with most of them in the shortest possible time. ”

"The last general commands." After Pei Xiangdong heard Shen Yan's order, there was a look of helplessness in his eyes, staying meant that he had no chance with the front line, but then Pei Xiangdong figured it out, the role of staying is more important than the front line, in order to keep everyone's back road safe, so he gladly accepted the order.

"Fang Butong, before destroying the White Lotus Sect's grain and grass, I want to have all the information about the White Lotus Sect's guarding grain and grass, including the terrain, etc., you lead the special operations team to set off now, and strive to send this information to me before dark." An indifferent smile appeared on Shen Yan's face, glanced at Fang Butong, and said slowly.

"The last general commands." Fang Butong heard that he had a job to do, a confident smile flashed in his eyes, and he replied loudly.

"Wei Chong'an, after I have enough information, you are the vanguard of the attack on the grain and grass army, remember, this battle must be fought ruthlessly and quickly." Shen Yan's eyes glanced around the faces of Wei Chongan and the others slightly, and then his gaze fell on Wei Chongan's face and said indifferently.

"My lord, please rest assured, my old guard has no other skills, and when it comes to fighting, my old guard's soldiers will definitely not coax." Wei Chongan patted his chest heavily and said loudly.

"Zhu Mingxuan, Qin Huai'an, Guo Jin'an, the three of you each lead the third, fourth and fifth teams, follow Wei Chong'an's second team, and after the second team launches an offensive, your three teams will see the seams, either cooperate with the second team's offensive, or go around to the back of the grain and grass army to launch an offensive, and the specific tactics to use will be determined after the battle breaks out." Shen Yan saw Wei Chongan's demeanor, and a faint smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth, and then he looked at Zhu Mingxuan and the three of them, and said loudly.

"The last general commands." A strong fighting spirit appeared in the eyes of Zhu Mingxuan and the others, and they responded loudly.

"Ding Sanlin, although the strength of the cavalry brigade is not much, but the key to this battle lies in the cavalry brigade under your department, once Wei Chong'an's second team launches an offensive, you will lead the cavalry brigade to launch an offensive from the flank, no matter what, you must break up the formation of the grain and grass army." When Shen Yan said this, a heavy look appeared in his eyes, relying on the small number of cavalry brigades under Ding Sanlin's command alone, it was very difficult to complete this task, but the cavalry impact was the nemesis of the infantry army, and it was almost irresistible.

"The last general commands." After Ding Sanlin heard Shen Yan's order, he knew in his heart that this time the task was very difficult, but even so, Ding Sanlin was confident that he would complete it, so he responded loudly. At the same time, I also thought in my heart: No matter how difficult the war is, our cavalry brigade will definitely complete the combat orders of the adults perfectly.

"As for which team will be responsible for burning grain and grass, I will make a temporary decision according to the specific situation of the battle." Shen Yan glanced at everyone with an encouraging look and said loudly.

"Brothers, this battle is in a sense the first battle we launched a frontal battle, although we have defeated the White Lotus Sect before, but it is not the result of a frontal battle, so we must win this battle and not lose it."

"Please rest assured, we will fight this battle seriously." Pei Xiangdong and the others showed a strong fighting spirit in their eyes, met Shen Yan's hopeful gaze, and said loudly.

"Uncle Nine, a series of interesting things happened in the early days today." Yang Xuanyi's eyes revealed a strong shock, and he walked quickly to Yang Manlou's study, and saw Yang Ruoxi sitting behind Yang Manlou and gently pinching his shoulders.

"Interesting things happen in the court from time to time, why did you suddenly mention this to me." Yang Ruoxi saw Yang Xuanyi walking in, Yang Ruoxi hurriedly stood up and prepared to leave, while Yang Manlou gently patted the back of Yang Ruoxi's hand, signaling that Yang Ruoxi didn't have to leave, and said without opening his eyes.

"As Uncle Nine said, interesting things happen in the court from time to time, but today's interesting things are a little different from the past." Seeing Yang Manlou's movements, Yang Xuanyi smiled at Yang Ruoxi and said softly.

"What's the difference, let's hear it." Yang Manlou understood in his heart that Yang Xuanyi came here to tell himself this, so he followed Yang Xuanyi's words and said lightly.

"Today, in the court, some courtiers have already sent the emperor generals, or the court game has reached a critical step, but I didn't expect the emperor to ignore these courtiers' generals at all, and what I didn't expect was that Qiu Mubai actually took the initiative to stand up and suggested that Shen Yan be the commander of the White Lotus Sect, and conveyed the sixteen-character phalanx proposed by Shen Yan on his behalf, who knows, Shen Yan and the emperor discussed this matter early on, and only the ministers were kept in the dark." Although Yang Xuanyi's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something very ordinary, when he spoke, the different look that flashed in his eyes seemed to reflect his mood at the moment.

"Sixteen-figure phalanx? Although I know that Shen Yan is very talented, I am still very curious to summarize a combat phalanx that will shut up the ministers. When Yang Manlou heard this, his eyes opened slightly, full of curiosity.

"The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase." With a strange mood, Yang Xuanyi repeated the sixteen-character phalanx he heard.

"I don't understand military affairs, however, I still see Shen Yan's layout in Huaibei County from these sixteen words, no wonder Shen Yan dared to lead less than four thousand Great Xia Royal Army to the White Lotus Sect, it turned out to be relying on this magic weapon." Yang Manlou's eyes showed a look that was the same, and he said with a smile indifferently.

"The Royal Army of Great Xia is now less than four thousand, but the emperor has already decreed that the Royal Army of Great Xia can be expanded to thirty thousand, and a servant army of fifty thousand will be formed, if the army is full, Shen Yan will be in charge of the eighty thousand army at once." A look of envy appeared on the corner of Yang Xuanyi's mouth, and his greatest wish was to lead an army to gallop on the battlefield.

"It's not easy to recruit 80,000, which is also a reason why after the emperor made his will, the ministers, including the military, did not express their position, because they knew very well in their hearts that it was very difficult for Shen Yan to recruit recruits in Huaibei County, and even if they did, these recruits would not only not be Shen Yan's help, but would drag Shen Yan back." Yang Manlou's eyes flashed with a hint of wisdom, and he said with an indifferent smile.

"The core combat strength of the Great Xia Royal Army does not exceed one thousand and eighteen."
