Chapter 546: I am willing to be a small soldier
"Your Majesty, is this really what Shen Yan said? It turned out to be so incisive. Jiang Tawei's eyes were full of shock, these sixteen words were unheard of, if he was a person who had just led the troops for a short time, he might not feel anything, but he had led the troops for so many years, just by hearing these sixteen words, he had already realized what kind of miracle Shen Yan would create in Huaibei County.
Of course, as a veteran of the battlefield, Jiang Tawei knew very well in his heart that there were two difficulties in front of Shen Yan, the first was that there must be a large number of scouts of the White Lotus Sect at the junction of Lingnan County and Ningjiang County, how could Shen Yan avoid these scouts without revealing his whereabouts.
The second way is how Shen Yan bypasses Lingnan, you must know that the only way to bypass Lingnan is a sheep intestine trail in the south of Lingnan City, if Shen Yan did not perfectly defeat a White Lotus Sect army of more than 2,000 troops on the sheep intestine trail, then the top level of the White Lotus Sect may not think of this, so the top level of the White Lotus Sect will definitely ambush about 5,000 troops on the sheep intestine path, Shen Yan wants to pass through the sheep intestine path, he must completely eat this force without leaving a trace.
However, with less than 4,000 troops under Shen Yan's command, even if he was affected by the narrowness of the region, he could not concentrate hundreds or thousands of soldiers to fight at once, but as long as the White Lotus Sect chose to set up an ambush in a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Shen Yan would be helpless, and if it was not handled properly, Shen Yan would fall into the two-stage attack of the White Lotus Sect.
The first difficulty is not difficult to solve, I believe that whether it is Shen Yan or other generals, they can easily solve this difficulty. The problem is the second hurdle, for Jiang Tawei, this hurdle is almost a dead hurdle, and there is no way. If you choose to attack hard, even if Shen Yan's Great Xia Royal Army is one as ten, but after this hard-fought battle, even if Shen Yan wins the final victory, it is estimated that less than a thousand people will survive, and the rest will either die in battle or be disabled.
"What? Didn't my General Jiang think that I was deceiving everyone? Seeing Jiang Tawei's contemplative expression, a trace of unhappiness appeared in Xia Qi's eyes, he had been pinning his hopes on Jiang Tawei's body for so many years, hoping to break through the military's clamp on him from his body, but Jiang Tawei's performance really made him not very satisfied, if it weren't for Jiang Tawei's loyalty and talent, Xia Qi would have removed Jiang Tawei a long time ago.
"The last will be terrified." Although Jiang Tawei knew in his heart that the emperor's words were not aimed at him, after hearing the emperor's words, Jiang Tawei still knelt down in fear and said loudly.
"The last general has led the troops for so many years, and I have always felt that I have no successor to the Great Xia military, but the last general just heard the sixteen words summarized by Shen Lang, and the last general was unconvinced first, and the last general thought that if he was replaced by the last general to do it, he would definitely do better and better than Shen Lang, but then the last general was convinced in his heart, when the last general was as old as Shen Lang, he was just a small soldier in the border army, and Shen Lang had already led the Great Xia Royal Army to make many meritorious contributions, just this point, the last general was also convinced in his heart."
"The last thing that emerged in the heart of the last general was to be convinced, just being able to lead the troops to fight is not a real big skill, but the talent to win a decisive victory thousands of miles away in the strategy, and even if Shen Lang General did not reach this height, the last general felt that it was almost the same, therefore, the last general felt in his heart that the best candidate to go to Huaibei County this time was Shen Lang General, if Shen Lang General did not have many soldiers, the last general was willing to serve as a small soldier under Shen Lang General."
"Jiang Tawei, ...... you" Hearing Jiang Tawei's words that subverted his cognition, both Jia Mingliang and Liu Dakai's eyes showed a strong sense of surprise, even when the emperor heard Jiang Tawei's remarks, a strong shock appeared in his eyes.
Who is Jiang Tawei? He is the chief soldier of the first army in the five armies of Jinling, and he is the first person deployed by the emperor in the military, how many times higher than Shen Yan in terms of rank and qualifications, but now he hears that Jiang Tawei is willing to serve as a small soldier under Shen Yan, which has to give Shen Yan a lot of face, but there is no intersection or friendship between Jiang Tawei and Shen Yan, so why does Jiang Tawei give Shen Yan face so much?
Could it really be as Jiang Tawei said, Shen Yan convinced Jiang Tawei with these sixteen words?
"Don't be surprised, Shen Lang's current qualifications are indeed inferior to you and me, but have you ever thought about what strategy you would adopt if you and I led the army to Huaibei County alone, it was nothing more than thinking about a decisive battle with the White Lotus Sect besieging Lingnan, thinking about how to relieve the crisis of Lingnan being besieged, and not thinking of bypassing Lingnan to the hinterland of Huaibei County, and using their own fighting methods to attract the attention of the White Lotus Sect, so as to break the siege of Lingnan at the lowest cost, It is also a perfect solution to the political blackmail and strategic temptation set by the White Lotus Sect. A glint appeared in Jiang Jingwei's eyes, and he glanced at Jia Mingliang and Liu Dakai indifferently, and said slowly.
"Of course, Shen Lang will want to realize his strategic plan, first of all, he will cross two difficulties, the first difficulty is not difficult, I believe that Shen Lang will be easy to solve, but the second difficulty will restrict Shen Lang will be the key to the implementation of the strategy, this difficulty is how Shen Lang will bypass Lingnan, if nothing else, the White Lotus Sect will definitely set up an ambush on the sheep intestine trail south of Lingnan, no matter what kind of military strategy Shen Lang will adopt, if he wants to defeat this ambush, in the end I don't know how many Great Xia Royal Army will remain." When Jiang Tawei said this, a trace of worry appeared in his eyes, and then a trace of perseverance flashed in his eyes, and he continued.
"If Shen Lang will successfully bypass Lingnan, and the losses of the Great Xia Royal Army are not large, Shen Lang will be willing to accept me, the emperor will also be willing to let me go, and I, Jiang Tiwei, will be a small soldier under General Shen Lang."
"Jiang Tawei, are you serious?" Seeing Jiang Tawei's expression, Jia Mingliang's eyes were filled with a strong shock, and he looked at Jiang Tawei's eyes intently, as if he wanted to see that Jiang Tawei was joking, but no matter how Jia Mingliang searched, he couldn't find any trace of Jiang Tawei's joke.
"Jia Mingliang, I am extremely serious." An indifferent smile flashed in Jiang Tawei's eyes, although Jia Mingliang does not have many opportunities to get along with him on a daily basis, Jiang Tawei knows very well in his heart that if there is one person in the military who can say a few words to himself, then this is Jia Mingliang.
"You may think I'm ridiculous at the moment, but one day you'll see how right I am today."
"Well, I don't need to talk about it anymore." Seeing the situation in the hall, Xia Qi's eyes gradually regained calm, smiled indifferently, and then said loudly.
"Jiang Tawei, you are the chief soldier of the Jinling Chinese Army, how can you give up this identity and serve as a small soldier under Shen Yan, even if you are willing to do this, I will not let you go, and Shen Yan will not accept you, this matter will end here." Xia Qi understood the true intention of Jiang Tawei's words, and in addition to impressing Shen Yan's military talent, it was more important to retreat as advance, or the secret mission that was already unbearable in his heart.
