Chapter 180: Military Discussion

"Mr. Shen Qian, what to do with these captives outside the city?" Lin Xueqian also seemed to think of the captives outside the city, a trace of embarrassment and helplessness appeared in his eyes, and he glanced at Shen Yan carefully. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Temporarily placed outside the city, under the care of my men, until the execution of the bandit leader is completed." Shen Yan had been thinking about how to bring this new force under his command, so he didn't want to escort the White Lotus Sect soldiers into the city for the time being.

"Since Mr. Shen Qian is so decisive, then the lower official will arrange for people to prepare." Hearing that Shen Yan didn't let himself interfere with these captives, Lin Xueqian suddenly relieved himself.

"Then there is the Laulin County Order, now that the sky is just dawning, when the time comes, I hope that the Lin County Decree will gather the squires and respected old men in the city here, and at that time, I will execute the first offender of the White Lotus Sect bandits, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Shen Yan knew that the matter of execution must be dealt with in a timely manner, so as to avoid a long time, firstly, to weaken this residual authority, and secondly, to avoid giving the people of the White Lotus Sect a buffer time, so that they would have different intentions.

"Mr. Shen Qian, rest assured, Xia Guan will definitely complete it as required, speaking of this, Xia Guan still has a question in his heart, I don't know if to ask?" Lin Xueqian suddenly thought of a very serious problem, although Shen Yan won the attack, but this was not a head-to-head confrontation, and Shen Yan's strength was limited, in case the other bandits of the White Lotus Sect heard that Lingnan had eliminated more than 4,000 White Lotus Sect, and when they gathered more troops to come, Shen Yan left again, or that Shen Yan's troops could not stop the White Lotus Sect's army at all, and Lingnan would fall into a situation from which he would never recover.

"Is Lin County Ling worried that the White Lotus Church will send follow-up troops to attack Lingnan?" Shen Yan seemed to have guessed Lin Xueqian's thoughts, a light of wisdom flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Lin Xueqian lightly.

"Mr. Shen Qian is really wise." Seeing Shen Yan's words, a faint surprise appeared in Lin Xueqian's eyes, it seems that this Shen Yan's wisdom is indeed a little not to be underestimated.

"Don't worry, this official came here to exterminate the White Lotus Sect in Lingnan and the surrounding areas, and if Lingnan is attacked by the White Lotus Sect one day, this official will not leave. Of course, the army of the imperial court is estimated to arrive in a few days, so there is no need to worry about the safety of Lingnan City. Of course, Shen Yan would not tell Lin Xueqian that he was only here to hone the Great Xia Royal Army, and he did not really protect the safety of Lingnan, of course, if there were really reinforcements from the White Lotus Sect during this period of time, he would also be responsible and obliged to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding Lingnan, so he used this official for the first time in the title.

"With Mr. Shen Qian's words, the lower officials will be relieved." Hearing Shen Yan's assurance, a trace of calmness appeared in Lin Xueqian's eyes, or his hanging heart settled.

Although the guarantee of officials is not worth a penny, the guarantee of military personnel is relatively much more valuable.

"Eighteen princes, after the execution of the White Lotus Sect bandit leader, I still need you to come forward to communicate with the squires in the city and those respected old men, and tell them that the imperial army will arrive later, and I hope that they will have the money to contribute, and they will give us enough support." Shen Yan then turned his head and said to Xia Yuanxu, who had been standing quietly beside him.

"Don't worry, this is what this prince should do." Hearing Shen Yan's kind reminder, a trace of gratitude appeared in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, although he knew what to do, but with Shen Yan's kind reminder, Xia Yuanxu's heart was clearer about what to do and the object and content of the conversation.

"Okay, in this case, everyone will go their separate ways, when the time is up, please find me outside the city, Boss Gao, escort the bandit leader out of the city with me." After explaining the relevant matters, Shen Yan turned around and walked out of the city with a beautiful turn.

Looking at Shen Yan's dashing back, a complicated look appeared in Lin Xueqian's eyes, and he had originally thought of inviting Shen Yan to a delicious meal, but before the words reached his throat, Shen Yan turned around and left.

"Mr. Qian, what are we going to do next?" When Shen Yan's figure appeared in everyone's sight again, Pei Xiangdong's body as if he was a javelin relaxed slightly, and a faint smile appeared in his contemplative eyes.

"You know you think more than anyone else." Hearing Pei Xiangdong's inquiry, a sympathetic smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, "Actually, I've been thinking about this question just now, and at this time, I want to hear your thoughts and opinions." ”

"Mr. Qian, I don't think we should stay in Lingnan, but take the initiative." A hint of thought flashed in Pei Xiangdong's eyes, and he waited for the enemy's backup forces in Lingnan City with his existing strength, but it was also a very risky thing to take the initiative to attack, but the lesser of the two was harmful, and it was far better to take the initiative than to sit on guard.

"Take the initiative? Pei Jiang, we are only 500 men, and this attack has taken the enemy by surprise, and we have such an impressive result, but this does not mean that we will still have the upper hand when we encounter a large army of enemies and go head-to-head with them, and achieve the same results. As soon as Pei Xiangdong's voice fell, Guo Jinarc put forward a different opinion.

"Lao Guo, you coward, you know that you are retreating, and you are so timid, then don't be a soldier." Hearing Guo Jinarc's words, Wei Chongan yelled at Guo Jinarc angrily.

"Wei Chong'an, I'm not cowardly, let alone cowardly, but on the matter, we are five hundred, once the White Lotus Sect knows the news of the attack in the valley, the troops sent again will definitely not be less than five thousand, at least ten times more than ours, even if we are all super strong in combat, it is impossible to stop it in a head-to-head confrontation." Hearing Wei Chongan's roar, Guo Jin's eyes did not show the slightest anger, and a hearty smile appeared on his face.

"As soldiers, we must not blindly think about fighting, but balance the strength of the enemy and ourselves, find the right way, and win the victory at the minimum cost, instead of fighting the enemy with brute strength." When Guo Jinarc said this, he glanced at Shen Yan, and saw that Shen Yan was not angry, and his worried heart was settled, at least Shen Yan was not a boss who punished crimes with words.

"Guo Jiang's general statement is not unreasonable, fighting a war depends on strategy, and all kinds of factors must be fully taken into account." Looking at Wei Chong'an's red face, Shen Yan's face showed a comforting smile, signaling Wei Chong'an not to be impulsive, everyone is deliberating, not quarreling, there is no need to blush.

Of course, Shen Yan is also clear about Wei Chongan and Guo Jinarc's personalities, otherwise he would not have expressed his position before everyone finished discussing.

It's just that Guo needs to change some of his general perceptions of war. If we take the initiative to attack, we do not necessarily have to go head-to-head, and harassment can drag down the enemy and even destroy the enemy just like guerrilla. ”
