"My lord, we have defeated more than 3,600 White Lotus Sect soldiers in this battle, and only a dozen of our troops were wounded, and none of them were killed." When the figure of Shen Yan and his party appeared at the north gate of Changdong County, Pei Xiangdong led everyone to wait here for a long time, and after seeing Shen Yan's figure, Pei Xiangdong hurriedly took two steps forward, walked in front of Shen Yan, lagged behind half a step, and said loudly.

"Very good, although there are not many soldiers of the White Lotus Sect, if they rely on the city wall to defend, it will not be easy for us to take Changdong County in such a short time and with such small casualties." Hearing Pei Xiangdong's words, a hearty smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, it seemed that this battle of the Great Xia Royal Army was a sure victory, but if it was not properly deployed, it would not be so easy to get the current results.

"Everyone has worked hard in this battle, I will write down everyone's merits, and when I return to Jinling, I will truthfully report to the emperor and fight for everyone."

"Thank you, sir." Hearing Shen Yan's words, Pei Xiangdong and the others showed a hearty smile on their faces, especially those generals who came from the White Lotus Sect, the smiles on their faces were even more obvious, with this credit, although they could not return to their hometowns in fine clothes, but they had the capital to gain a foothold.

"My lord, although Changdong County is not as rich as Lingnan County, the damage here is small, and the surplus is sufficient, enough for the big guys to eat well for a while, but if you take the initiative to attack, then so much grain and grass is likely to become a burden." Pei Xiangdong's eyes flashed with a look of excitement, not only because he had achieved a victory under his command, but more importantly, there was a lot of surplus in Changdong County, in this way, the grain and grass crisis was finally perfectly solved, if you want to use a procrastination trick to get along with the White Lotus Sect, the grain and grass in Changdong County are enough to support the army for several months.

Of course, in the style of adults, they will never choose to be far away from the White Lotus Sect in Changdong County, but adopt the method of taking the initiative, so the abundance of grain and grass in Changdong County has become a disadvantage, but whether it is good or bad, you have to make a choice.

"Let a few of the captives escape." Hearing Pei Xiangdong's words, Shen Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and he quickly thought about the solution in his mind, sitting in Changdong County and facing the White Lotus Sect, although it was a good method, but this method was very passive for himself and the Great Xia Royal Army, although the emperor asked him to delay the White Lotus Sect, however, the situation on the battlefield changed instantly, and he couldn't do it according to the emperor's requirements, otherwise, he would not know if he was swallowed by the White Lotus Sect.

Take the initiative to attack, with his current strength is not enough to confront the White Lotus Sect head-on, so he can only use some other methods to eliminate the White Lotus Sect.

So what kind of method is effective? A spiritual light suddenly appeared in Shen Yan's mind, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, although this aspect is very opportunistic and dangerous, but relatively speaking, this method is a very good method.

"What do you mean to let them go to Lingnan, and then send another army from Lingnan, and we will plant and eat this army?" Hearing Shen Yan's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Pei Xiangdong's eyes, why did he secretly let go of a few White Lotus Sect soldiers, and then a spiritual light flashed in his mind, and he immediately understood Shen Yan's plan.

"Although Lingnan is rich and the grain and grass are very sufficient, there are not many people, and the daily consumption is a huge number, so the White Lotus Sect in Lingnan must also have a headache with the problem of grain and grass." Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a confident light, and he said indifferently.

"Then your lord is so sure that Lingnan will send someone over?" Although Pei Xiangdong understood Shen Yan's plan, some details were not very clear.

"The White Lotus Sect in Changdong County must not truthfully report the grain and grass situation in Changdong County to Lingnan, otherwise, Lingnan will either send people over to take away some of the grain and grass, or it will be stationed in Changdong County, it will not be like now, Changdong County only has such a small number of troops of the White Lotus Sect, which is contrary to common sense." Shen Yan said with an indifferent smile.

"The last general understands that this is to let the White Lotus Sect of Changdong County flee to Lingnan, and inform the situation in Changdong County, and the White Lotus Sect in Lingnan will definitely try to take away some of it from Changdong County if they know it." Pei Xiangdong's eyes showed a look of admiration, Shen Yan thought of the trick of luring the enemy in his few words, and he was obviously inferior to Shen Yan in this regard.

"And that's not all." Hearing Pei Xiangdong's words, Shen Yan shook his head slightly, smiled faintly, and said slowly.

"The White Lotus Sect in Lingnan is not an idiot, it has been defeated by us so many times, and it has learned a little better, so their first reaction is how much grain and grass there is in Changdong County, and secondly, who will the people who attack Changdong County be, whether I personally lead the team, if it is not me, then who will it be, so they will definitely ask the people who fled about the battle in Changdong County, and this will also affect whether Lingnan will send troops this time and the number of troops."

"Did you think of this strategy early on? That's why this battle will be commanded by the end of the future, so that the White Lotus Sect in Lingnan can feel that it is not the adult himself, so the troops sent will not be too many. A hint of surprise flashed in Pei Xiangdong's eyes, he didn't expect Shen Yan to think of a plan to lure the enemy from the beginning, and he was even more embarrassed by his ability to control the battle situation at a macro level.

"No, let you command the attack on Changdong County, it's not that I thought of using the strategy of luring the enemy, the fundamental reason for letting you command is to let you grow up as soon as possible, it is impossible for me to personally command every battle in the future, one is that I am lacking in skills, and the other is that you will not get the opportunity to exercise and grow, what I want is not that you only have the ability to execute, but your ability to take charge alone, only in this way, I can completely rest assured that the army will be handed over to you to command." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, he glanced at Pei Xiangdong, and said slowly with a hint of encouragement.

"This time, it's a pure coincidence, I didn't expect that there would be so much grain and grass in Changdong County, and I didn't expect the White Lotus Sect in Changdong County to hide this matter, maybe I was lucky this time."

"Adults have always had good luck." Hearing Shen Yan's heartfelt words, a faint mist flashed in Pei Xiangdong's eyes, although he was born in the Pei family in Huai'an County, however, he has never felt what family and friendship are, he has spent his life in deception since he was a child, but he didn't expect that after following Shen Yan, his dusty heart was opened by Shen Yan step by step, and just such trust is worth his life to Shen Yan.

Pei Xiangdong knew very well in his heart that whether it was the army or the government, those in high positions were rarely willing to delegate power, for fear that the people below would lose their prestige after gaining power, however, Shen Yan seemed to be an outlier, he had never had a burden in this regard, and he was completely positive about living and dying with himself and others.

"Okay, don't think about these messy things, we have to make preparations for luring the enemy next, we can't lure the enemy without success, but will be killed by the White Lotus Sect, then it's a joke." Shen Yan said with an indifferent smile.
