Chapter 549: Timely Rain
"Huang Weiqian, I didn't expect your suggestion to be even better than my idea, I almost took a detour." A hint of contemplation flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, and then a hearty smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Huang Weiqian and said loudly.
"My lord is serious, my lord just wants to find the fastest way, it's not that I can't think of this suggestion from my subordinates." A smile appeared on Huang Weiqian's face, and he was originally a little worried that Shen Yan was young and vigorous, and he couldn't hear his own opinions, but he didn't expect Shen Yan to be a good person, and it would be a happy thing to be able to do things behind such a person, at least he didn't have to worry about getting room for his ideas.
"Pei Xiangdong, gather these captives, and then drive them in the direction of the west of Lingnan City, and let them appear at the entrance of the sheep intestine trail in the west of Lingnan City in an hour and a half." A faint smile appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, and then he said loudly to Pei Xiangdong.
"The last will obey." Pei Xiangdong's eyes also showed a brisk smile, killing and surrendering, if you can't do it, you won't do it, although this is not a woman's idea, but throughout the ages, almost no good end has been for anyone who kills and surrenders, as the first person in the military under Shen Yan, Pei Xiangdong certainly doesn't want Shen Yan to embark on this road full of unknowns.
"Wei Chong'an, send someone to cut off this place to prevent these captives from returning the same way after we leave." Shen Yan thought about it for a while, so he decided to cut off this place with trees and other things to build a temporary defense facility.
Of course, no matter how perfect the defense is, it is just a pile of dead things without anyone's defense, and it is impossible to prevent these captives from returning the way they came. However, Shen Yan still decided to do this for two reasons, one was to create a false impression for these captives, in case there was a Great Xia royal army behind the defense facilities, they would return from the original way, and there would be only one way to die. Second, once a brave captive has crossed these defenses, it will take at least a little time to completely destroy them, and this time is precious.
"Wu Zhenyue, later, you use the method of Jinyi School to transmit information to send the battle report here to Jinyi School in the shortest possible time, hand it over to Ma Shichao, and let him transfer it to Gonggong Xu in the shortest possible time." Shen Yan groaned slightly, and then said loudly to Wu Zhenyue who was not far away.
"Huang Weiqian, you now summarize the situation of this battle with good news and hand it over to Wu Zhenyue to deal with."
"Subordinates receive orders." Huang Weiqian heard Shen Yan's arrangement, and a touch of joy appeared in his eyes, although a boss who knows how to fight for himself in a timely manner is a little annoying, but as long as this boss knows how to measure and gives the people below a chance, such a boss is definitely a lovely person.
"Boss Gao, I hope that you can use the unique information channel of the Ouchi guards to transmit the situation of this battle in the shortest possible time and send it to the emperor's table, so that my Huaibei County strategic plan can be carried out perfectly, and it also comforts the emperor's heart." Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a look of expectation, glanced at Gao Yong, and said loudly.
"Okay, I'll be happy to help." Gao Yong's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly understood Shen Yan's intentions, Shen Yan This is to give the emperor enough confidence to let the emperor give those courtiers a resounding slap.
Gao Yong knew very well in his heart that with the unique communication channels of the Ouchi guards, before the end of the early dynasty, the good news of this battle would reach the emperor, and as for the channel of the Jinyi School, it was estimated that it would be a little later.
"Pei Xiangdong, after we leave here, you have to organize the brothers to summarize the shortcomings of this battle, and I hope everyone can grow up in the shortest possible time." After Shen Yan finished arranging the same things, he said to Pei Xiangdong with a smile.
"Everyone has a little time to rest here for a cup of tea, and then we run to the next place of operation."
"Your Majesty, Weichen is faint, willing to resign and return to his hometown, and I hope that the emperor will approve it." A touch of sadness appeared in Huang Weimin's eyes, he didn't expect to become the first person to die in this court game, although there was some reluctance in his eyes, but Huang Weimin knew very well in his heart that if he didn't take the lead in expressing an attitude, once he waited for the emperor to make a move, there would be no room for maneuver.
"Huang Weimin, don't use such an attitude to test my bottom line, if you are stupid, how can I promote you to the position of secretary of the Ministry of War." When Xia Qi heard Huang Weimin's method of retreating, a sneer appeared in his eyes, this kind of method can be described as commonplace, if he agrees to Huang Weimin's request, then people will say that I have no room for people, but if I don't agree, it will make Huang Weimin, or even more people gain an inch.
"Huang Weimin, I will not agree to your resignation, but for your stupidity, I think it is caused by your lack of rest recently, so I allow you to learn from Lin Xiaotang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to recuperate at home for a while, and as for the affairs of the Ministry of War, I will leave it to others to manage for the time being."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." When he heard the emperor's outspoken words, a trace of gray flashed in Huang Weimin's eyes, and instead of succeeding, his tentative path was not successful, but there was a kind of shooting himself in the foot.
"Why, don't my words have any authority?" Xia Qi sat high on it, and saw that some of the people from the military and Huang Weimin's group stood up, Xia Qi's eyes flashed a touch of anger, the strength of the party should not be underestimated, he just let Huang Weimin take a temporary break, these people hurriedly stood up to speak for Huang Weimin, Xia Qi knew that some words could not be said by these people, otherwise, he would be very difficult to do, so, while they had not yet spoken, Xia Qi hurriedly put on the dignity of the emperor, and angrily said to these people.
"Wechen is terrified." Hearing Xia Qi's very angry words, these courtiers and military personnel who stood up hurriedly knelt down and withdrew the words they originally wanted to express.
"Some people make mistakes and should be punished accordingly, you may think that I am a little too unsympathetic to do this, after all, these people have been with me for a long time, besides, Shen Yan may not have a good start when he leads the army to Huaibei County, after all, even I feel that the possibility of Shen Yan passing the second hurdle is extremely small, I should listen to everyone's correct advice at this time, instead of acting arbitrarily and alone." Xia Qi's eyes had some helplessness in his eyes, and he glanced at the ministers in the hall.
To be honest, Xia Qi didn't want to turn his face with the courtiers at this time, or put on the dignity of the emperor, but if he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to suppress Huang Weimin, or he couldn't properly solve Huang Weimin's strategy of retreating as advance, would he really have to take a step back.
"I am so willful today, even if Shen Yan's Huaibei County strategy fails, I will still strongly support Shen Yan and severely punish those who make mistakes, it's a big deal, I will make a crime afterwards." When Xia Qi said this, a strong fighting spirit flashed in his eyes, and he glanced coldly at the ministers in the hall, as if he had found the feeling he had ten years ago.
"Your Majesty, the good news from Gao Yong, the inner guard."
