Chapter 606: Digestion and Yearning
"Brother Shen, now that there are so many more soldiers on hand, what are your plans for the next step?" With a hint of curiosity in his eyes, Gao Yong glanced at Shen Yan, who was pondering, and said softly.
Gao Yong said that it was absolutely impossible not to admire Shen Yan's methods, in front of Shen Yan and himself only with a few hundred people to scare off more than 20,000 elites of the White Lotus Sect, and now with just a few people, he has won over so many soldiers from Luo Yuhui's hands, and the most important thing is that even Luo Yuhui's little sister has been co-opted, and the ability to dig people up like this is indeed extraordinary.
"What the White Lotus Sect needs during this time is to digest the results of the battle, and what we also need is to digest it, digest these troops from different sources, and improve its combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time." Shen Yan had been thinking about what to do with the more than 3,000 Jinling soldiers in front of him just now, it seemed a little inappropriate to put them all in the Great Xia Royal Army, but if they were put in the servant army, these people would definitely feel dissatisfied in their hearts, and even resentful, if this situation really happened, it would be a big tumor in the servant army, which was not the result that Shen Yan wanted, so it could only be digested through time.
Thinking of this, a preliminary idea came to Shen Yan's mind, that is, to train these Jinling former army and the servant army together, and select the best five thousand soldiers to join the Great Xia Royal Army, so that the strength of the Great Xia Royal Army will be temporarily expanded to eight thousand, and the remaining more than 10,000 troops will be the main force of the servant army.
Of course, whether it is the Great Xia Royal Army and the Servant Army, Shen Yan's choice is still to be lacking rather than excessive, if the conditions are right, Shen Yan does not mind expanding the Great Xia Royal Army and the Servant Army to full capacity, however, this can only be a good idea in his heart, so Shen Yan is not in a hurry to expand his troops.
If he wanted to expand his troops, Shen Yan still liked to choose from the experienced White Lotus Sect's troops who had an innocent family background and were not particularly loyal to the White Lotus Sect.
"Squire, since the White Lotus Sect will not fight back for a while, then why don't we occupy the Wuzhou Mansion by ourselves, but stay in the area of Niugong Mountain?" Xia Yuanxu's mind has never understood why Shen Yan chose to give up Wuzhou Mansion, if it is just to train soldiers, there is also a school in Wuzhou Mansion, which can also achieve the purpose of training soldiers, and staying in Wuzhou Mansion can get good supplies and a better place to rest, in short, Xia Yuanxu feels that it is more appropriate to stay in Wuzhou Mansion than to stay here.
"Eighteen Princes, do you think I shouldn't give up Wuzhou Mansion?" As if sensing Xia Yuanxu's thoughts, Shen Yan did not rush to answer, but smiled indifferently and said slowly.
"That's exactly what I thought." Xia Yuanxu did not hide the thoughts in his heart, and said loudly.
"Staying in Wuzhou Mansion can indeed achieve the purpose of training soldiers, and there are many benefits, but there are also some shortcomings in staying in Wuzhou Mansion, for example, there are some quite powerful wealthy families in Wuzhou Mansion, if we stay, then we are bound to deal with them, this is not to say that we will be afraid of these wealthy families, but we don't have so much energy to deal with them at the moment, after all, the time left for us will not be too long." Shen Yan said with an indifferent smile.
"Second, the living conditions in Wuzhou are much better than here, and once they get used to a comfortable environment, the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of soldiers for training will decline, and thus the purpose of training soldiers and enhancing combat effectiveness will not be achieved, which is very unfavorable to our entire strategic deployment."
"What does the waiter mean is that this will happen when General Luo goes to Wuzhou Mansion?" Xia Yuanxu's eyes flashed with a hint of contemplation, and then he said aloud.
"No, General Soldier Luo will not have the situation I just said in Wuzhou Mansion. First of all, the Jinling front army under the command of General Luo is all elite, there is no doubt about this, what they need most is a stable environment to slowly restore their morale, so although Wuzhou Mansion is not a good place to restore morale, it is a good choice. A confident smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he said slowly.
"I believe that the next time I see General Luo and the Jinling Front Army, I hope they can get out of these underestimates and restore half of the combat effectiveness of the Jinling Front Army, so that it will be more interesting for us to fight side by side in the future."
"I thought that Shen Yan only belittled the third brother and did not praise him, but I didn't expect that he was a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Shen Yan didn't have such a mind at all, he was too worried." Luo Yuyi stood not far away and heard the conversation between Shen Yan and Gao Yong and Xia Yuanxu, a look of embarrassment appeared in his eyes, and he muttered softly.
"Sister Luo, what are you muttering?" Lin Peirong asked with some curiosity.
"Nothing." Luo Yuyi's eyes showed a faint panic, and he hurriedly denied it.
"By the way, why did you choose to join the Great Xia Royal Army, you obviously didn't take this path." Luo Yuyi was afraid that Lin Peirong would continue to ask, so she quickly diverted the topic and said.
"It's nothing, I just think that a person who will win every battle must have something curious about, so in order to satisfy his curiosity, I said it impulsively." A complicated look appeared in Lin Peirong's eyes, and with a hint of loss, she said softly.
"The last will be an adult." When Lin Peirong and Luo Yuyi were chatting, a group of people rushed down from the mountainside next to them, and the person led by them ran to Shen Yan and said loudly.
"Pei Xiangdong, you came just in time, you immediately organize the first team of people to take these people to the servant army training ground, I will carry out a reorganization of the Great Xia Royal Army and the servant army later, so that the Great Xia Royal Army and the servant army can improve their combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time and serve the next strategic deployment." A faint smile appeared at the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he gently patted Pei Xiangdong's shoulder, and said loudly.
"The last general commands." Pei Xiangdong's eyes flashed with a look of excitement, although the servant army was formed, Pei Xiangdong felt that the steps of the Great Xia Royal Army and the servant army were a little bigger, but he didn't expect Shen Yan to also think of it, and to carry out some reorganization, I believe that after the reorganization, whether it is the Great Xia Royal Army or the servant army, its cohesion and combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
"Pei Xiangdong, are you a little worried about Brother Shen's safety when you came in such a hurry, you also underestimated Brother Shen, thinking that in the battle in the canyon that day, Brother Shen only scared off more than 20,000 White Lotus Sects with his own courage, how domineering is this." Gao Yong's eyes flashed with excitement, and with a hint of joke, he glanced at Pei Xiangdong and said loudly.
To be honest, Gao Yong is very envious of Pei Xiangdong and others' support for Shen Yan, this is a group of iron-clad men, who can hand over their backs to each other's brothers, and the guards in the inner hall where they are, in addition to cold weapons, have to guard against whether the people around them will stab them in the back and rob them of their own credit.
It's like when he first saw Shen Yan, Gao Yong didn't hesitate to use Shen Yan as a humanoid weapon to attack the man in black who intended to coerce Qiu Yingxue, it was Gao Yong who was affected by the environment and only considered interests. It's like the Great Xia Royal Army, although there is competition, it is benign, and they will not use despicable means that are shady to each other. Once they encounter a life-and-death battle, they will be able to sacrifice each other for each other. This kind of emotion is worthy of men's yearning.
Thinking of this, Gao Yong's eyes couldn't help but show a look of yearning. Gao Yong's emotion may be precisely because he is from the rivers and lakes, although there are also intrigues in the rivers and lakes, but they are much better than the inner guards. Or maybe Gao Yong's mind has a scene that he doesn't want to recall.
"Future comrades-in-arms, please come with me to the training ground." Pei Xiangdong's eyes showed a friendly smile, looked at the more than 3,000 former Jinling troops in front of him, and said loudly.
