Chapter 1751? Preparation before war
Whether this phenomenon is a good thing or a bad thing...it's hard to say yet.
Just talking about the current effect, the answer is already obvious.
Perhaps, the path taken by Yue Fei and others may not be the best.
But it also proved to be the most suitable command and management method for the Tianwu Dynasty.
Xiao Tianyang formulated strategic goals, while Wang Jian and others formulated detailed combat plans.
In the past, Xiao Tianyang would have asked Wang Jian and others to discuss it privately and then report the specific action plan to him.
Just after Zhang Liang's general guidance, Xiao Tianyang decided to change his style.
However, first of all, he will not express his opinions easily in the operational meeting.
Secondly, his main purpose of participating in the combat meeting was to gain a deeper understanding of Wang Jian and others.
The last point is that although Xiao Tianyang doesn't have to do everything himself, he can't understand everything.
Listening is the best solution.
If you act according to the above method, it will be completely beneficial without any harm.
He not only achieved the purpose of understanding, but also participated in the birth of the plan.
And the price he has to pay for this is just more time, essentially no loss at all.
From start to finish, it took more than half an hour.
Xiao Tianyang didn't even say a word.
Moreover, because he had missed too much homework before, his understanding of certain details was not particularly complete.
Of course, Xiao Tianyang doesn't need to pay too much attention to details. He is not an executor, so it is useless to study it thoroughly.
Xiao Tianyang only needs to know a general direction.
After all, the follow-up matters can be left to Wang Jian and others to coordinate and arrange.
All he has to do now is nod his head or put forward constructive suggestions based on the plan.
Needless to say, he didn't even know the details of the process, so how could he have any opinions?
However, there is a small flaw in Wang Jian and others' plan.
Perhaps because of their first contact, Wang Jian and others may be a little vague about the concept of 'all elemental life'.
Regardless of whether they have preparations or not, Xiao Tianyang must remind them.
Once the frontal battlefield begins, he will inevitably be dragged into another battlefield.
If Wang Jian and others discover something is wrong when the battle situation reaches a stalemate, something big will happen.
The probability of failure is very low.
But the price you pay for underestimating your opponent is absolutely huge.
If he suffered huge losses as a result, that would be something Xiao Tianyang really couldn't accept.
In the same way, more than half of the new legions have just been established here.
Xiao Tianyang didn't want the prestige they had worked so hard to achieve to be lost because of a small mistake.
"First of all, I agree with your defense plan."
"At least I can't think of any improvements right now."
Xiao Tianyang sorted out his words and said, "But before the war begins, I must give you a warning."
When the generals heard this, a look of seriousness flashed across their faces.
Although Wang Jian and others have only been here for a short time, they still know a thing or two about Xiao Tianyang's behavior.
According to common sense, Xiao Tianyang would never try to join their discussions.
For example, in the previous action plan, Xiao Tianyang formulated strategic goals, and they formulated the battle plan in detail.
Afterwards, Xiao Tianyang would only listen to the general process of the combat plan.
It's different now.
Xiao Tianyang not only participated in their combat meeting, but he was not distracted even once during the whole process.
Even if they don't know what happened to Xiao Tianyang.
But they could guess that the change in the other party's attitude was extraordinary.
By the way, Wang Jian and others are all middle-aged people, some of whom are hundreds of years old.
The older you are, the more experience you have, and the more solid you are.
Besides, Xiao Tianyang does know more than them.
For this reason alone, they paid more attention to Xiao Tianyang's reminder.
Of course, Xiao Tianyang didn't have Madam Mingzhu's ability to observe words and emotions, so he naturally didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.
Xiao Tianyang only believes that seriousness is their work attitude.
There is no one else to think about except him.
He raised his hand with a calm expression, stretched out his index finger, and said: "First, you must know that there are many kinds of elemental life."
"The Elementalist is only one of the most intelligent groups on the Elemental Continent, not the only one."
"Secondly, their numbers may be far greater than imagined."
"So our goal is to defend first, defend second and defend last."
"As long as they can withstand one day, it will be useless no matter how powerful their momentum is."
"Third, I always feel that Kanculi is holding back his ultimate move. What he released before may have been a smoke screen."
"You don't need to take his personal threats to heart."
"What you need to pay attention to is the elite under his command. Those are the really difficult guys."
Xiao Tianyang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this is all I have to say. I hope you will do your best to defend against the enemy."
Wang Jian and others stood up at the same time and cupped their hands and said: "The gods and warriors of heaven will fight against powerful enemies together. We will not bleed dry and we will not retreat until we die!"
After everything was explained, Wang Jian and others said goodbye and left.
With less than an hour left, they needed to arrange all their troops on or near the city wall.
The large weapons and equipment on the city wall had been installed before arriving.
They only need to ask the corresponding soldiers to operate it, and it can be put into use immediately.
In addition, Xiao Tianyang's reminder also made them vigilant.
They thought that the big deal was done and that the other party would not be able to make any big noise.
Of course, that didn't mean they weren't careless.
On the contrary, the lineup they put out cannot be underestimated.
But what Xiao Tianyang said before was that they didn't pay enough attention, not that they weren't cautious enough.
The reasons why they are patrolling the front line now are, firstly, to survey the terrain, and secondly, to make preparations.
After all, if it is as Xiao Tianyang expected, then they must guard against Kankuli in advance.
After all, he comes from a war-themed plane, so he should be given enough respect.
Compared with their busyness, Xiao Tianyang is much more leisurely.
At this moment, he was standing at the position that originally belonged to Kankuli, holding a monocular telescope and observing the surroundings.
However, what he is observing now is mainly his own people.
The purpose is the same as before, which is to understand the fighting style of Wang Jian and others.
'A king must be tolerant of others, recognize their abilities, employ them, and govern them. '
He kept Zhang Liang's words in mind.
After a few days of exploration, I learned the secret.
Originally, he thought that as an emperor, he only needed to know how to tolerate and employ people.
But he didn't particularly understand the ability to recognize people and the method of controlling people.
It's different now.
Although he is still not particularly proficient, he is on the right path.
"Sir, do you think we have a good chance of winning?"
Xiao Tianyang didn't put down the telescope and asked Zhang Liang beside him.
“It’s hard to judge without knowing its lineup and its momentum.”
Zhang Liang muttered: "With the abilities of General Wang Jian and others, it shouldn't be difficult to win the final victory."
"The main question is what price the generals will pay for their victory."
"With proper planning, it may be possible to reduce losses."
"If on the contrary, the enemy's plan succeeds, the price of victory will also cause heavy losses to the main force of our army."
"If you add in the previous inferences, the other party's intentions will become clearer."
Xiao Tianyang stopped moving his hands and asked, "Then how should we deal with it?"
