Chapter 542: Who is the Commander?

"Qin Huai'an, you lead the fourth team as Wei Chong'an's reserve, keep a mile away from Wei Chong'an's first team, once Wei Chong'an's first team launches an offensive, the third team will start a frontal battle with lightning speed. Guo Jinarc, you lead the fifth team as Zhu Mingxuan's backup, keep a half-mile distance from Zhu Mingxuan's third team, once Zhu Mingxuan's third team launches an offensive, you lead the fifth team to rush up. Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a flash of wisdom, looked at Qin Huai'an and the others, and said loudly.

"Pei Xiangdong, you lead the first team to sweep the formation. Ding Sanlin, you led the subordinates to follow me and wait. ”

"The last general commands." Although he didn't get the chance to fight, he was a little disappointed in his heart, but it didn't affect his emotions, and after hearing Shen Yan's order, he said loudly.

"Since there are no other opinions or supplementary opinions from the various departments, then follow this tactic to execute, I hope that everyone will not do anything for the sake of victory, and at the same time, I also hope that everyone can end the battle in the shortest possible time, remember, we must come in and completely annihilate this White Lotus Sect, so as not to let the fish that slip through the net reveal our strength and whereabouts." Shen Yan glanced at everyone, a look of encouragement appeared in his eyes, and said loudly.

"Victory." Pei Xiangdong and the others roared in a low voice.

"Squire, can such a deployment attract the attention of the White Lotus Sect and thus achieve the expected combat effect?" Xia Yuanxu stood next to Shen Yan and listened quietly to Shen Yan's deployment, without saying a word, and after Shen Yan's battle plan was issued, a faint doubt appeared in Xia Yuanxu's eyes, and he asked softly.

"Eighteen princes, there is no absolutely perfect battle plan for any war in the world, and there are factors of on-the-spot change in any war, if you want to grasp these unexpected factors, we can only rely on the commander on the battlefield, as the commander of a normal battle, we can only regulate and control it at the macro level, and cannot completely decide every detail of the war, these details are played by the front-line commander on the spot. Sometimes small details can make or break a normal war. A hearty smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he looked at Wei Chongan and the others who were leading his subordinates to quietly move forward according to the established formation, and said lightly.

"In other words, the deployment of the waiter is only a macroscopic one, and if you want to win this war, the key lies in the front-line generals who respond to the situation and kill the enemy bravely, right?" After Xia Yuanxu listened to Shen Yan's explanation, a flash of understanding appeared in his eyes, and he said thoughtfully.

"Yes, so as the supreme commander of the war, don't try to completely override your will in the war, but fully delegate power to the generals on the front line, let them formulate specific details according to the specific situation, and the supreme commander can be in the middle to achieve the effect of picking up and filling in the gaps." Shen Yan's eyes showed a faint smile, and he said slowly.

"Understood, thank you for your teachings." After listening to Shen Yan's words, Xia Yuanxu's eyes revealed a faint understanding.

"You're welcome, although I am your attendant, but you and I are the same age, we can learn from each other and make progress together in the future, as long as you pay attention, life is full of knowledge." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.

"Brother Shen, aren't you going to see the battle process for yourself?" A trace of doubt flashed in Gao Yong's eyes, under normal circumstances, Shen Yan should have moved to the front line and watched the battle process in person, but looking at Shen Yan's posture, Shen Yan didn't have any consciousness to move at all, with a trace of doubt, he couldn't help asking.

"Boss Gao, Pei Xiangdong's military talent is not below me, but he lacks some overall vision, and Wei Chongan, Zhu Mingxuan and others have their own talents, but they lack such an opportunity to fight, since they want to take them on this road, then they should be given the opportunity to fly by themselves, so that they will grow faster." Hearing Gao Yong's doubts, a faint smile appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, and he said slowly.

"Then weren't you worried about the losses of the Great Xia Royal Army before formulating strategies and tactics, why aren't you worried now?" There were still some doubts in Gao Yong's eyes.

"As a commander, before the war starts, you should consider how to achieve the greatest victory at the minimum cost, and once the battle plan is determined, you must fully let them fly, which has a certain relationship with whether or not you are worried about losses, but this relationship is not very obvious, or in other words, the problem of worry has been transformed." Shen Yan smiled indifferently.

"Zhuqing, if you have something to do, you have nothing to retreat from." In the Qinzheng Palace, Xia Qi glanced at the ministers in the hall with a strong fighting spirit in his deep eyes, and said majestically.

"Shen Yan, that kid should be about to arrive in Lingnan at this time, I don't know how he bypassed the White Lotus Sect's defenses?" Xia Qi looked at the ministers in the hall, and couldn't help but think of Shen Yan's whereabouts in his mind.

"Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect is fierce, if the imperial court does not send reinforcements, Lingnan will be in danger." A touch of helplessness flashed in the eyes of Huang Weimin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the posture of the White Lotus Sect was too fierce, and the Ministry of War had not yet been able to come up with a plan that satisfied the emperor, so he only knew to give the emperor a bitter advice: Saving soldiers is like fighting fire.

"Your Majesty, Lingnan is the west gate of Jinling, once the White Lotus Sect conquers Lingnan, it will be equivalent to Jinling opening the west gate to the White Lotus Sect, and at that time, Jinling will also fall into turmoil."

"Huang Aiqing, you are the secretary of the Ministry of War, whether to increase the troops, how to increase the troops, how many to increase the troops, who is the commander, can you straighten out a train of thought for me in these things, don't I know that saving soldiers is like fighting fires, but a rescue without any plan and clue is a completely irresponsible behavior, which will not only affect my face in Daxia, but also completely ignore the lives of military officers and soldiers." Hearing Huang Weimin's bitter admonition, a touch of indifference flashed in Xia Qi's eyes.

To tell the truth, if there was no dark horse of Shen Yan, Xia Qi would definitely send reinforcements as soon as possible, although Xia Qi knew very well in his heart that Shen Yan's dark horse might not be able to go to the end, but the biggest role of this dark horse was to delay the time for the White Lotus Sect to attack Lingnan, so that the White Lotus Sect felt that the imperial court had sent rescuers, and the imperial court was walking step by step according to the deployment of the White Lotus Sect.

"As the secretary of the Ministry of War, when the imperial court encounters such a big risk, he should discuss a decision with the military and other people in the ministry for me to judge as soon as possible, instead of telling me what to save the army like fighting a fire, military affairs are not child's play, every decision needs to be carefully considered." Seeing that Huang Weimin wanted to say something more, Xia Qi waved his hand, hurriedly stopped Huang Weimin, and said loudly.

"I know that all of you Aiqing are loyal to the country and dedicated to the imperial court, and I also know that the White Lotus Sect is in full swing, not only has it conquered almost the entire Huaibei County, but even my Jinling front army has suffered a crushing defeat, in the face of such a situation, you Aiqing feel that I should send out all the other four armies in Jinling, and it is best to add the Jinling infantry army, so I ask you, so many troops are sent out, who is the commander, or do you need me to drive the expedition in person?"
