Chapter 998: The Source of the Gap
"What my lord said is very true, although there are only those three families involved in the White Lotus Sect in Huaibei County, but we all know that this strength is only the tip of the iceberg of these three families, if these three families do their best, not to mention the strength of our Great Xia Royal Army and Servant Army, even if all the five armies of Jinling are dispatched, they may not be able to completely defeat." Hearing Shen Yan's words, a touch of surprise flashed in Pei Xiangdong's eyes, others don't know the strength of the family, Pei Xiangdong, who was born in the Pei family, knows very well how powerful the hidden strength of the family is, thinking of this, he can't help but feel a burst of happiness in his heart.
Not only is it fortunate that the Yang Wang Cui Sanjia is just a tentative contact with the White Lotus Sect, or a tentative contact with the Three Princes, instead of putting all the treasures on the Three Princes, but also rejoicing in Shen Yan's luck, a person's success, in addition to some necessary basic factors, luck is also a very important existence, some people with great luck, under the same circumstances, the probability of success is far more than that of people with bad luck, so Shen Yan can achieve the victory of the White Lotus Sect in Huaibei County, Luck, a very mysterious thing, really played a key role.
"In view of the strength and situation of the family, Lao Pei is the most vocal person among us, and what Lao Pei said now, from a certain level, has a certain reference." Hearing Pei Xiangdong's words, Shen Yan bowed slightly, with a strange look in his eyes, although a person's background can't say anything, but in some aspects, a person with a good background does have some natural advantages over some people with a bad background, such as education, such as knowledge, Shen Yan has to agree in this regard, and for example, Pei Xiangdong at the moment, although he is down, although he was given up by the people of the Pei family, however, at some levels, Pei Xiangdong's vision is slightly higher than others, And this may be one of the reasons why he wants to cultivate Pei Xiangdong.
"If the major families really join forces, it is almost impossible for the emperor to completely suppress it with the existing forces at hand." An indifferent smile flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, glanced at Pei Xiangdong and the others, and then said lightly.
"Simply because, due to the interests of the major families, before the disaster of extermination, it is impossible for them to join forces sincerely, and this gives the emperor the opportunity to calmly lay out, and similarly, the emperor must not force the family too tightly, otherwise it will prompt the family to join forces, so this is completely a double-edged sword, while assassinating the opponent, it will also cut himself." Shen Yan's eyes showed a hint of indifferent smile, with a hint of helplessness, but also with some longing, or unwillingness.
Although Shen Yan is not in his position and does not seek his own government, but if he wants to let the people around him get a better and more peaceful living environment, he must have to change the laziness he had before, plus he has agreed to the emperor's request, although he may not be able to complete the emperor's wish in his lifetime, but since he agreed, he must do his best to do it, and this is one of Shen Yan's excellent qualities.
"The topic is a little farther away, but this topic may not have nothing to do with us in the future, and we, as generals of the first army, should have a view of the overall situation, only by standing higher than others, can we see farther, so that we will not feel any constraints in the face of any sudden war." A peaceful smile flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, and he glanced at everyone present lightly, and said slowly.
"Don't worry, my lord, if you don't say it, the last general and others will do the same." Pei Xiangdong and the others' eyes flashed with a positive color, met Shen Yan's slightly expectant eyes, and said loudly.
"The threat of Beihu has always existed, even if Daxia and Beihu are in a period of peace at the moment, but the words and deeds of Beihu Guoshi and others have already revealed their intentions, we don't expect how the imperial court or other forces will react, for our own reputation, or for the safety of those around us who are worthy of protection, we must take precautions and have a sense of danger." Seeing the expressions of Pei Xiangdong and the others, a smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.
"Although there are many forces around Great Xia, only Beihu is the one who poses a threat to Great Xia, so I won't mention other forces here for the time being, and the next thing is the internal worries of Great Xia." When Shen Yan said this, he paused for a moment, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes, and then showed an indifferent look in his eyes, and said slowly.
Shen Yan didn't know whether it was right or wrong to inform Pei Xiangdong and others of the situation of the princes' seizure of the heirs and the distribution of power in the court at this time, but Shen Yan understood that Pei Xiangdong and others were his most important assistants, and some things could be white lies, but in terms of right and wrong or the overall situation, Shen Yan still felt the need to be open and honest with Pei Xiangdong and others, and this was the reason why Shen Yan was slightly hesitant.
"Please make it clear." Seeming to feel Shen Yan's hesitation, and seemed to be able to understand the reason for Shen Yan's hesitation, Pei Xiangdong's eyes flashed a complicated look, glanced at Shen Yan, and said slowly.
While Pei Xiangdong spoke, he was also thinking in his mind, if he was in Shen Yan's position, could he be as open and honest as Shen Yan, Pei Xiangdong immediately sighed slightly in his heart, although he has this heart, but if he wants to do Shen Yan, there is indeed a bit of a gap, this is not that Pei Xiangdong is not as good as Shen Yan, nor that Pei Xiangdong's mind is not open-minded enough, but Pei Xiangdong's education since childhood told Pei Xiangdong that some things can be shared with others, but some things must only be in their own hands. What can be shared is some irrelevant things, and the key must be firmly in your own hands, so that you can better control the people around you.
Thinking of this, Pei Xiangdong sighed slightly in his heart, the gap between himself and Shen Yan is not only his vision, but also his heart, and more importantly, his personal charm. Pei Xiangdong also has a certain personal charm, otherwise he would not have become the most influential person in the Beijing suburb barracks, but compared with Shen Yan, this charm seems to be far from enough.
Pei Xiangdong always felt that the gap between himself and Shen Yan was not particularly big before, even if he was willing to serve under Shen Yan, but in his heart, he felt that he was not bad, but his knowledge structure was not as good as Shen Yan, and now Pei Xiangdong finally understood what the real source of this gap was.
