Chapter 682: Planning

"Brother Shen, what are your plans next?" Gao Yong has been standing quietly behind Shen Yan, listening to the contest between Shen Yan and Zou Yankai, the battle of wits with Cui Shaonian, and the heartfelt words with Xia Yuanxu, seeing Shen Yan's confident demeanor, Gao Yong's eyes showed a trace of intention, with a hint of curiosity, and asked slowly.

"Plans? There is no big plan in the past two days, the main thing is to digest the gains and losses of this battle, although this is an ambush battle, but it is also the first frontal battle since the formation of the Royal Army and the Servant Army of Great Xia, only by summarizing the gains and losses of this battle, the Royal Army and the Servant Army of Great Xia can exert more powerful combat effectiveness. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and a confident look flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly.

"Moreover, after this battle, the White Lotus Sect in Lingnan no longer has enough strength to attack us, and the White Lotus Sect has changed from offensive to defensive. Therefore, in the next period of time, we will enter a period of adjustment and recuperation, and slowly digest some hidden dangers brought about by the expansion of the army and rapid training. ”

"Since the White Lotus Sect has become a passive defense, why don't we take the initiative to launch an offensive against the White Lotus Sect, so as to eliminate the White Lotus Sect in one fell swoop." Hearing that the arrogance of the White Lotus Sect was beaten by Shen Yan for a large part, Gao Yong's eyes flashed with a look of interest, as if he wanted to get this credit very much.

"Attacking the White Lotus Sect is a good idea, however, the dog jumps the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit bites when he is in a hurry, so in the face of the White Lotus Sect in Lingnan, it is better for us to postpone the offensive." Shen Yan understood Gao Yong's thoughts, he wanted to take such a big credit for himself, however, sometimes, it was not necessarily a good thing to make too much credit, so Shen Yan thought about how to give away this credit to avoid causing some unnecessary trouble. Moreover, behind this credit, there is also the three major families of Cui Wang Yang and the three princes who can devour themselves at any time.

"Could it be that you want to fatten up the White Lotus and then attack." A hint of suspicion flashed in Gao Yong's eyes, fattening the enemy has always been a habitual method used by the military, and the cost is small but the credit is great.

"No, if you want to fatten the White Lotus Sect, you won't try so hard to cripple the White Lotus Sect. Do you have any intentions? ”

"I plan to give this credit away and let others do it." Shen Yan saw Gao Yong's expression, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said slowly.

"Are you crazy or stupid to give away such a big credit?" Hearing Shen Yan's words, Gao Yong's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief.

"Although we have the ability to eat such a great credit, have you ever thought about what we will face when we return to Jinling? The warm welcome of the Manchu civil and military forces, or the superficial welcome, secretly playing the wrench, and even completely isolating us? A faint smile flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, glanced at Gao Yong, Xia Yuanxu, Luo Yuyi and others, and said slowly.

"It doesn't matter if I'm isolated alone, it won't affect the overall situation, but once our group is isolated by the imperial court, then we will not be able to move an inch. Therefore, it is better to give away this great merit and let some of it also make contributions. ”

"I'm afraid that they will not buy your account at all." Gao Yong nodded slightly, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, the situation in the imperial court must be as Shen Yan said.

"I don't need them to buy it." Shen Yan smiled indifferently, a sly smile flashed in his eyes, and then said slowly.

"Besides, there is also a lot of trouble behind this great credit, the greater the credit, the easier it is to offend the three princes and the three families of Cui Wang Yang. And we can take time out to recuperate. ”

"So you had such a ghost idea." After listening to Shen Yan's words, a hint of indifferent smile flashed in Gao Yong's eyes, Shen Yan looked polite and harmless, but once he used his brain to harm people, it was really unguardable.

"The waiter said, then our secret fold will not mention Cui Shaonian's matter, nor will we mention the third brother's matter, and then tell my father that this is a good opportunity for the imperial court to fight back." A strange look flashed in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, glanced at Shen Yan, and said slowly.

"No, let's tell the truth and let the emperor know the whole thing, and at the same time, let the emperor help design those who are eager to make meritorious contributions." A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he said indifferently.

"Brother Shen, although your plan is very good, those people in the court are not stupid, wouldn't they think of how many mysteries are involved?" Gao Yong's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of a possibility, and said slowly with a hint of doubt.

"Indeed, none of the people who can mix well in the court are weak, and none of them are stupid. However, when they heard the truth that the White Lotus Sect had been killed by us, their first reaction was to be suspicious, when they believed that we had really made such a great achievement, and knew that the strength of the White Lotus Sect had gone by more than half, they would definitely not be willing to leave nearly half of the credit to continue to be possessed by us. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.

"Therefore, when the emperor threw out the truth about leading the army to conquer the White Lotus Sect in Lingnan, although many people in the court wanted this opportunity in their bones, they would still show a calm appearance on the surface, as long as one person spoke, there would definitely be a scramble."

"Yes, Yin Shaotang must not want such an opportunity to fall into the hands of others again, he must be very annoyed that he failed to grab this opportunity in the first place." A faint smile appeared at the corner of Xia Yuanxu's mouth.

"That's right, those people in the court, although their wisdom is far higher than mine, but in the face of my yang scheme, as long as they have ideas in their hearts, they will definitely be hit." Shen Yan smiled confidently.

"Brother Shen's trick is really powerful." Gao Yong hurriedly gave a thumbs up.

"I always thought that Shen Yan was such an upright person, but I didn't expect that there was no difference between the court and the old guys in the family." Luo Yuyi has been standing quietly not far away with only his ears, Shen Yan and Zou Yankai's words, the fight with Cui Shaonian, the sincerity with Xia Yuanxu and the love with Gao Yong can be seen clearly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, not knowing which side is the real Shen Yan.
