Chapter 727: Plan Ahead
"My lord, we just had a brief confrontation with the White Lotus Sect yesterday." Pei Xiangdong's eyes showed a hint of an indifferent smile, and his originally excited heart gradually regained his calmness, glanced at Shen Yan, who was smiling, and said slowly.
"Both sides are a tentative attack, so the number of troops invested is not much, each side invested about 10,000 or so, and the last general took the initiative to call the call for three teams of servant troops and two teams of the Great Xia Royal Army to participate in the battle, as a result, although our army won a big victory, however, the last general found that our army had some deficiencies in this battle."
"Oh, let's hear it." Hearing Pei Xiangdong's words, Shen Yan's eyes flashed with interest, and he said slowly.
"Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the White Lotus Sect first." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Pei Xiangdong's mouth, glanced at Shen Yan, and said slowly.
"The individual combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the White Lotus Sect is very good, this is completely different from the soldiers of the White Lotus Sect I met before, although the combat effectiveness of the White Lotus Sect in Lingnan is far inferior to that of Xiangzhou Mansion, however, in terms of military discipline and combat effectiveness, it is far superior to the White Lotus Sect of Xiangzhou Mansion, the combat effectiveness of the White Lotus Sect of Xiangzhou Mansion is a bit similar to that of the Jianghu Sect, but the strength is not enough for those Jianghu Sects, at most it can only be regarded as the level of some ordinary disciples of the outer sect."
"However, even so, the strength of these White Lotus Sects cannot be underestimated, if it weren't for the proficiency of the Great Xia Royal Army and the Servant Army, they might not be able to defeat them. Of course, their strength is very strong, but their military formation is still very weak, which gives us the preparation to face the battle calmly. ”
"Although the White Lotus Sect has some differences with the Jianghu Sect, however, the White Lotus Sect still existed in the form of the Jianghu Sect at the beginning, but later changed some of the principles of absorbing the sect in order to promote their teachings, although there are many people in the world who can practice martial arts, but, everyone knows that the poor are rich in martial arts, and it is difficult to raise martial arts to a very high level without enough money, after all, practicing martial arts requires a lot of training outside the body, plus if you want to learn advanced martial arts, you also need enough talent, and this aspect restricts many people, Therefore, the White Lotus Sect had to make some changes. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he took Pei Xiangdong's words and said slowly.
"The original intention of the White Lotus Sect is not good or bad, but later, the ambition of the White Lotus Sect has become greater, and the original preaching of some upward teachings has become the root of some people's desire to overthrow the imperial court, and this unpopular move certainly has no soil for survival. However, many people still suffer from many injustices, especially in some backward and poor areas, and the activities of the White Lotus Sect are even more rampant. ”
"Although Huaibei County is close to Jinling, Huaibei County has suffered from serious floods before, but the imperial court has not introduced a perfect rule of law in the process of controlling the floods, and it has aroused the anger of the heavens and people. When Shen Yan said this, he paused for a moment, glanced at Pei Xiangdong and the others, and continued.
"These old stories of the White Lotus Sect only let us understand the past of the White Lotus Sect, and cannot be used as our attitude towards the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect is imperative to fight, and it can only succeed and not fail. Do you have confidence? ”
"The Lord is back, and we are full of confidence." A rough smile appeared on the corner of Wei Chongan's mouth, and he roared loudly.
"Although I am back, the command of the first battle of Xiangzhou Mansion is still commanded by Lao Pei, and I am still picking up the gaps behind the scenes, sometimes thinking from the perspective of a bystander will be clearer, and I can also think from different angles, which is very good." Shen Yan smiled indifferently, shook his head, and said slowly.
"My lord, the last general ......" Pei Xiangdong knew that Shen Yan was not picking on a child, but wanted to train himself to become Shen Yan's representative in the military, and this weight and trust were worthy of his life and death.
"Okay, don't be pretentious, you and I are brothers in life and death, I can rest assured of your talents, I believe in your character, besides, I will not be able to stay in the army often in the future, instead of letting others point fingers at you, it is better to let you be alone, I just have a title, wouldn't it be very good." Shen Yan walked up to Pei Xiangdong, patted Pei Xiangdong's shoulder gently, and said loudly with a hint of encouragement.
"Thank you for your trust and cultivation, and I will swear to the death." Pei Xiangdong's eyes flashed with a hint of emotion, and he said loudly.
"Okay, what should everyone do?" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, glanced at Pei Xiangdong, and then turned to look at the others, with a hearty smile on his face, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to go and get busy.
"The adults must have something to say to the last general when they let them all go." Pei Xiangdong looked at the figures of the others gradually leaving, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he met Shen Yan with an indifferent smile and asked softly.
"I do have something I want to say to you alone, it's not that I don't believe the old guards, but there are a lot of people, and I am worried that if my words are accidentally spread, they will have a fatal impact on us, so these words come out of my mouth and into your ears." Shen Yan smiled indifferently, with a hint of approval in his eyes, Pei Xiangdong is still very smart, and he found our intentions from a small gesture of his own.
"Your Excellency, don't worry, even if the last general dies in battle, he won't reveal a word of today." Seeing Shen Yan's serious expression, Pei Xiangdong suddenly understood that what Shen Yan was about to say must be very important, and it could not be leaked.
"We need more credit if we want to get a bigger platform for development, and the White Lotus Sect is a very important opportunity at the moment, but it is not the only opportunity." A faint smile appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, signaling that Pei Xiangdong didn't have to be so solemn.
"Some important things did happen after I was captured by the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect, and these things have a crucial impact on our future development." Shen Yan immediately gave a general idea of what happened on the cliff.
"Although Huo Ting'an's relationship with the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect makes us feel incomprehensible, his strength should not be underestimated, and except for the ringer, there are few people in the court who can restrain him, once he wants to do some radical behavior, we can only passively accept it, and even lose his life, this is a very serious situation." After Shen Yan finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and said slowly.
