Chapter 1025 Looking North at Old Rivers and Mountains

For the past few days, Ling Su has been staring at the direction of Suqian. The scouts almost stick to the faces of the Suqian defenders. The sudden change of the Qi army in Suqian alarmed Ling Su immediately.

He directly sent Zhang Meng and Liu Mingyuan to lead the troops out of the city and rushed to Suqian, while he himself hurried to Zhizhou Yamen and found Shen Yi who was looking through the documents.

"Mr. Shen!"

He bowed his head and cupped his fists and said, "Suqian Qi army has changed, and my subordinates have already sent Liu Mingyuan and the others out of the city to block their way."

Shen Yi put down the document in his hand, nodded and said: "Lead the West Route Army out of the city. Xue Wei's troops should also try their best to delay the Qi army who lives in the house. After you leave the city, find a way to contact Xue Wei and the others as soon as possible. Cooperate."

Ling Su lowered his head and cupped his fists: "The last general obeys!"

Master Shen stood up, and said in a deep voice: "I still say the same thing, adapt to the situation, and if you can eliminate Qi people, you must try your best to eliminate Qi people, but if something is not right, you don't have to force yourself. You can consider withdrawing to Xuzhou. General Ling The decision is."

Shen Yi paused, and then added: "Suqian's enemies are not 200, nor 2000, but about 2. With so many enemies, remember not to underestimate the enemy, and don't slack off..."

"Don't be in a hurry."

"You have to fight in an orderly manner."

Ling Su bowed his head: "The last general obeys orders!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed and clasped his fists, then turned and left, striding out.

After Ling Su left, Shen Yi sat in his study. After thinking about it, he sat down and wrote a letter. After confirming that there were no typos, he added his private seal and put it in the envelope inside.

After writing the letter, Shen Yi took the letter himself, walked out of Zhizhou Yamen, came to Lin Sheng's residence, and found Lin Sheng who was sitting in the yard in a daze.

Shen Yi looked at him, then shook his head slightly, moved a chair by himself, sat opposite to him, and said, "Brother Yankang, I have a letter here, which I want to send back to Jiankang to present to the Holy Majesty, and you will be in Xuzhou again." It's not appropriate to stay in the city, so follow this letter and go back to Jiankang, meet your family in Jiankang, and take a good rest for a while."

"When you recover, I will recommend you to be an official."

Only then did Lin Sheng come to his senses, and after calling out "Si Zheng", he looked at the letter in Shen Yi's hand, bowed his head and said, "Si Zheng, I'm not in the Mansion Reporting Department for this kind of secret letter, so it's not suitable for me to contact it... "

Shen Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll send the inner guard back to Jiankang, you follow the inner guard and go back together."

After a pause, Master Shen said: "After you return to Jiankang, His Majesty may summon you, and you can just say what you did in the north, but if Your Majesty asks why you left the Mansion News Agency, you ..."

"To hide that woman."

"Otherwise, it will inevitably be detrimental to your future career."

Lin Sheng lowered his head and said, "I... my subordinates wrote it down."

Master Shen stood up and said, "That's it. I have other things to deal with. After a while, the inner guards will come to look for you."

He looked at Lin Sheng, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yankang leaves the newspaper office, you and I are no longer superiors and subordinates, and we can be friends in the future. When I return to Jiankang, let's drink together."

Lin Sheng stood up, saluted Shen Yi as a scholar, and bowed his head deeply: "Student, thank you, Mr. Shen."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, turned and left.

He rode on the horse at the gate, ran all the way to the east gate, and left the city from the east gate. After going out of the city for more than ten miles, he found Su Ding in a large tent outside the city.

At this time, Su Ding was commanding the East Route Army to fight the Qi people in the east of Xuzhou.
Of course, it was just a tentative attack.

This kind of tentative attack has lasted for several days, and the main force of the Qi people has remained in a state of shrinking, and there is almost no decent counterattack.

After seeing Shen Yi, Su Ding quickly stood up, bowed his head and saluted: "Mr. Shen!"

Shen Yi didn't talk nonsense. After finding a seat and sitting down, he said straight to the point: "The Qi army in Suqian has made moves, and now Ling Su has led troops south."

"The enemies in Haizhou are watched by the imperial army, but the main force of the Qi army in the east of Xuzhou City can only be watched by you, General Su."

Shen Yi reached out and knocked on the table, and said, "There are so many of them, it's unrealistic to completely keep an eye on them, but if they're going to Suqian, General Su needs to do his best to help and protect Ling Xue and the others to buy time."

Su Ding quickly lowered his head, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, this subordinate has already sent someone to keep a close eye on the main force of the Qi army. If they go south to rescue Suqian, this subordinate will try their best to stop them!"

Shen Yi looked at the sky outside the big tent, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I will be in the East Route Army for a while."

"This time around Suqian, on the surface, Ling and Xue are fighting, but the key lies with General Su, the main force of the Qi army in the east."

"Whether this battle can be fought well depends on this!"

Su Ding took a deep breath.

"Mr. Shen, the main force of the Qi army is at least 5 people. It is not difficult to watch them, but it is a bit difficult to keep them in check."

Master Shen smiled and said: "Zhou Shizhong and Tu Yuan are probably no longer in their army. At this time, no one can fully grasp all the southern conscripts in various parts of the battlefield."

"They may not have the intention to save Suqian, even if they have..."

Shen Yi looked calm: "We must let the main force of this Qi army lose a layer of skin!"

Su Ding bowed his head: "Mr. Shen is wise!"

………………

Shen Yi's letter was quickly sent out of Xuzhou City by the inner guard.

At this time, the Qi army's blockade of Xuzhou City basically no longer exists, and it is easy for the inner guards to enter and exit.

However, the speed at which this letter went to Jiankang was very different from the speed at which Lin Sheng returned to Jiankang. Shen Yi specifically asked the inner guard to send it to Jiankang as soon as possible.

The inner guards didn't dare to delay. After crossing the Huaihe River, there was a fast horse on the post road, and they sent the letter to the palace at an accelerated speed of six hundred miles.

Now, all the letters sent by Shen Yi belong to the top secret of the imperial court. Even the eunuch Gao Ming cannot read it in advance. After Gao Ming received this letter, he picked up another secret letter on the table that was urgent , and put them in the sleeves together, and came to the Manna Hall.

In the Palace of Manna, His Majesty the Emperor is writing the Pope's eldest son, Li Wang.

At this moment, Li Wang was three or four years old, smart and sensible, and the emperor liked him very much.

In the Ganlu Palace, the empress's daughter-in-law didn't come in many times, but Li Wang could often come in, and the emperor was willing to spare time to accompany his eldest son.

Seeing Gao Ming walking in hurriedly, Emperor Hongde patted the little prince's face and asked him to write by himself, then he stood up from the soft couch and stretched his muscles: "Is there any news from Yandu?"

Yandu has been in constant turmoil recently, and besides the two princes of Northern Qi, the person who cares most about Yandu is Da Chen's Emperor Hongde.

Gao Ming lowered his head slightly, and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the inner guard has urgently reported six hundred miles away, Emperor Yongping of the Northern Qi Dynasty..."

"Should be dead."

Hearing this news, Emperor Hongde didn't lose his composure too much, but silently clenched his hands under his sleeves, and then exhaled: "It's been so many years, I finally kicked my legs..."

Gao Ming took out two documents from his sleeve, held them in both hands and handed them in front of the emperor, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, in addition to the urgent report from the internal guards, Shen Shilang also has an urgent report from six hundred miles away."

The emperor was startled, and then picked out Shen Yi's document from among the two documents. After opening the envelope, he took out the letter paper inside.

He stood there, read Shen Yi's letter word by word, and then looked up at the sky, silently lost in thought for a long time, without speaking for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor said silently while folding the letter, "Gao Ming."

Eunuch Gao lowered his head, with a respectful expression: "The servant is here."

"Bi... the five prime ministers."

"Six Departments and Nine Ministers."

"The five barracks are all handsome."

Emperor Hongde clenched his fists tightly, and both hands trembled imperceptibly.

"Go to the palace to discuss matters."

Eunuch Gao was also a little excited, lowered his head and said.

"Slave...obey."
