Chapter 873: Planning

"Lao Pei's marching speed is really okay." After Shen Yan finished speaking, he quickly opened the battle report in his hand, looked at it at a glance, and after a quick browsing, a hearty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly.

"My lord, could it be that Lao Pei has already rushed to the vicinity of Lingnan?" Hearing Shen Yan's words of emotion, a touch of surprise flashed in Fang Butong's eyes, according to the normal marching speed, Pei Xiangdong could reach the Lingnan area at this time, however, the march was not a blind and rapid march, besides, the Jinling Infantry Army and Wang Tianzuo's White Lotus Sect were gathering in the Lingnan area, the two armies sometimes clashed, sometimes truce, Pei Xiangdong wanted to arrive in Lingnan, it was impossible for the Jinling Infantry Army and Wang Tianzuo's White Lotus Sect not to know, therefore, it was not easy for Pei Xiangdong to reach Lingnan in such a short time, Because Pei Xiangdong's rapid march was likely to be blocked by the Jinling infantry army, even Wang Tianzuo's White Lotus Church launched an offensive against Pei Xiangdong.

"Not really." Hearing Fang Butong's question, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, shook his head slightly, and said slowly.

"Lao Pei He led a large army and has now arrived in Changdong County."

"Oh, it turns out that Lao Pei wants to use Changdong County as a bridgehead to attack Lingnan." Fang Butong's eyes flashed with a look of understanding, nodded slightly, and said slowly.

Just as Fang Butong himself thought, if Pei Xiangdong led a large army to go directly to the Lingnan area, it was very likely that he would be blocked by the Jinling Infantry Army and attacked by the White Lotus Sect under Wang Tianzuo, but it was different when stationed in Changdong County, even if the Jinling Infantry Army and Wang Tianzuo's White Lotus Sect knew Lao Pei's whereabouts, the Jinling Infantry Army and Wang Tianzuo's White Lotus Sect wanted to attack Lao Pei, and they needed to go through a march to achieve this combat goal.

Pei Xiangdong can make use of the distance from Lingnan to Changdong County to make a fuss, he can ambush halfway, or even organize a frontal battle, so as to annihilate or defeat the White Lotus Sect of Wang Tianzuo's department, as for the Jinling Infantry Army, even if it secretly withdraws money with Wang Tianzuo's White Lotus Sect, but on the bright side, it is impossible for the Jinling Infantry Army to make the mistake of attacking Pei Xiangdong, unless the Jinling Infantry Army raises the banner of rebellion at this time and unites with Wang Tianzuo's White Lotus Sect.

"Although it is a good strategic choice to use Changdong County as a bridgehead to attack Lingnan, this combat method is a little passive, although it will win the greatest victory at the minimum cost, but it also exists, if Wang Tianzuo's White Lotus Sect does not invade Changdong County, then Lao Pei's battle plan will be aborted." Shen Yan pondered for a moment, a touch of contemplation flashed in his eyes, and he quickly thought about the pros and cons of Pei Xiangdong's tactic in his mind, and found that although this tactic was stable, if he wanted to achieve greater success, this tactic seemed a little passive.

"My lord, the last general doesn't quite understand." Hearing Shen Yan's words, a trace of doubt flashed in Fang Butong's eyes, and with a look of incomprehension, he hurriedly asked.

"Taking Changdong County as a bridgehead to attack Lingnan, in principle, there is no fault, but the current situation in Lingnan is a confrontation between the Jinling infantry army and Wang Tianzuo's White Lotus Sect, the two seem to be hostile, but in fact they are in a stalemate, to be exact, the two are playing a show, acting for the emperor and the people of the world to see, unless the three princes give up Wang Tianzuo, otherwise, the Jinling infantry army and Wang Tianzuo's White Lotus Sect command continue to maintain such a situation." An indifferent smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and with a hint of confidence, he said slowly.

"However, with the three princes, it is not easy to make a decision to give up Wang Tianzuo, after all, Wang Tianzuo's back represents a lot of strength, if the three princes easily give up Wang Tianzuo, it means that the three princes have given up the strength behind Wang Tianzuo, and once these forces turn their heads and aim at the three princes, the three princes probably don't even have the mood to cry."

"What do you mean by your lordship, should the Lingnan battle situation take the initiative to attack and force the Jinling infantry army to stand in line?" Hearing Shen Yan's words, a flash of light flashed in Fang Butong's eyes, and with a look of doubt, he hurriedly said.

"That's right, only by forcing the Jinling infantry army to this point can he really fight with Wang Tianzuo's White Lotus Sect." Shen Yan said with an indifferent smile.

"But my lord, Yin Shaotang, the chief soldier of the Jinling Infantry Army, is the maternal uncle of the third prince, it is impossible for him not to know the plans and plans in the hearts of the three princes. A trace of doubt flashed in Fang Butong's eyes, and he felt that Shen Yan's idea was very good, but it was extremely difficult to implement, and the biggest trouble was the identity and attitude of Yin Shaotang, the chief soldier of the Jinling Infantry Army.

"I know this, it is impossible for Yin Shaotang to fall out with the third prince in order to make his position clear." Hearing Fang Butong's words, an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.

"Since the adults know about this situation, why do you still say that the best way to attack is to force Yin Shaotang to fight Wang Tianzuo head-on?" Fang Butong's eyes were full of doubts and puzzles, Shen Yan obviously knew this situation, why did he still propose this tactic?

"We can't force Yin Shaotang to show his courage, but someone can, such as the third prince, such as the emperor." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth.

"The Third Prince? It's impossible, we ruined his layout in Huaibei County, he didn't trouble us was already burning high incense, and asked him to give Yin Shaotang an order, let Yin Shaotang and Wang Tianzuo do it, this is simply a pipe dream. Hearing Shen Yan's words, Fang Butong's expression was completely stunned, Shen Yan couldn't be too confident.

"As for the emperor, if the emperor's words work, then Yin Shaotang will not co-star with Wang Tianzuo in this play."

"It is indeed impossible to let the three princes give such an order, but don't forget, the layout of the three princes in Huaibei County is almost everyone shouting and fighting, but as long as some rumors are revealed, it is said that as long as the three princes can restrain themselves from the precipice, or if the strong man breaks his wrist, there is no chance, think about it, after the third prince heard such a rumor, he was itchy in his heart, so he will definitely find someone to verify this rumor." A confident look flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, an old god was there, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Of course, this bureau still needs the emperor's cooperation, because this rumor must be inadvertently said by the emperor to work."
