Chapter 786 The Mountain Rain Has Come
The change of defense usually lasted for a few days, but the Huaihe Navy moved very quickly. By July 28, basically all the soldiers of the Huaihe Navy had evacuated from their original positions and assembled outside Huai'an City.

They don't leave right away.

Instead, they will not leave until the end of July, that is, the first day of August.

Because the court documents required them to switch defenses at the end of July.

Therefore, before August, the Huaihe Navy must not leave Huai'an Mansion, otherwise it would be against the will of the imperial court.

The Huaihe navy will not leave, which means that Huai'an Prefecture now has an army of more than 4 people, which is as solid as gold, and it is impossible for the Qi people to call at this time.

At the same time, Shen Yi has been personally along the Huai defense line for several days, directing the soldiers of the capital to deploy defenses.

On July [-]th, the soldiers of the Dusi finally took over the original position of the Huaihe Navy and completed this defense change.

And Shen Yi, who had been busy for several days, was finally able to return to the imperial envoy's office on the night of July [-]th, took a bath, and slept soundly.

The next day, which is the first day of August.

The soldiers of the Huaihe Navy stationed outside the city began to move slowly away from Huai'an Mansion.

Shen Yi didn't send it off.

After all, everyone has already torn their skins apart, and it is really useless to engage in such nonsense.

Because Shen Yi was too tired these days, it was rare for Shen Yi to sleep late. In the afternoon, he was about to leave the palace of the imperial envoy, but before he had time to go out, Jiang Sheng trotted over and handed a letter of thanks in front of him , lowered his head slightly and said, "My lord, someone outside wants to see you."

Shen Yi took a look at the greeting post, and the name of Zhao Lu, Marquis of Anping, was written on the post.

Seeing this name, Shen Yi couldn't help frowning slightly.

However, he soon calmed down and said, "Please come to the main hall to meet me."

After a while, Master Shen came to the main hall where the imperial envoy was walking. At this time, General Zhao had already finished half a cup of tea in the main hall. Seeing Shen Yi walking in, General Zhao did not stand up, but smiled , and asked: "I heard that Brother Shen likes to sleep in late. Didn't he just get up now?"

Shen Yi stretched his waist, sat on the main seat, and said lazily: "Master Hou is really leisurely, even a petty official like me can inquire clearly about the hobbies of me."

Zhao Lu shook his head and smiled: "Brother Shen, you are not a fifth rank, but a fourth rank."

Having said that, he thought for a while, and then corrected: "And you are not a small person anymore."

Shen Yi smiled dumbly and didn't answer.

After Zhao Lu took a sip of tea, he continued, "In the past few days, Mr. Zhao has been on the Huaihe River, watching the coastal capital change defenses. I have to admit it."

The general said with emotion: "Before, I underestimated you, brother Shen. This coastal capital was trained very well by you, brother Shen."

"Not to mention how tough it is, at least it can be called strict military discipline."

"If I remember well, it's only been three years since the establishment of this coastal capital, and most of them joined the coastal capital in the past one year or so."

Shen Yi frowned, looked at Zhao Lu, and said, "What Hou Ye wants to say, don't beat around the bush, just say it."

"Zhao means..."

Zhao Lu looked at Shen Yi with a sincere expression: "These people all died in Huai'an."

"What a pity."

Shen Yi sneered.

Zhao Lu looked at Shen Yi, and continued, "Brother Shen, don't misunderstand, didn't Zhao say that your generals are weak..."

The general who had guarded the Huaihe River for more than ten years said slowly, "You and I are in a different place, and in your position, I don't think I can guard Huai'an."

"Give it up."

General Zhao stood up from his seat, and sighed: "Originally, this morning, Zhao was going to leave Huai'an with his soldiers."

"But last night, after much deliberation, I still wanted to see Brother Shen."

Having said that, Zhao Lu looked up at Shen Yi, seeing Shen Yi's expressionless face, he smiled dumbly.

"Okay, it's Zhao who is acting affectionate."

Having said that, he cupped his fists at Shen Yi, and said, "Brother Shen, take care, Mr. Zhao is leaving."

Shen Yi stood up with a calm expression: "I'll see off Lord Hou."

The two of them walked all the way to the gate of the imperial envoy's office. Zhao Lu walked towards his mount. After taking two steps, he looked back at Shen Yi. , Remember to send me a distress letter to the Huaihe Navy.”

Shen Yi smiled but didn't smile, and asked: "Will Master Hou come to rescue?"

"Accordingly, it should come."

Zhao Lu thought for a while, and then continued: "But my Huaihe Navy, after all, is also Da Chen's army, and we can't get too stiff with the court, as long as you have more than half of your casualties."

Zhao Lu said quietly: "After more than half of the casualties, send a letter for help, and Zhao will most likely come."

Hearing this, Shen Yi has basically figured out what the head of the Zhao family is here for today.

Completely, it's here to mess with his mentality.

Even with Shen Yi's good temper, waves of nameless anger welled up in his heart at this moment. He looked at Shen Yi and said slowly: "Master Hou, in fact, the relationship between the Zhao Clan and the court is already stiff enough."

He said coldly: "When Lord Hou is free, you might as well think about it. What the Zhao family has done in the past few decades, have you ever been ashamed of the ancestors of the past generations! Are you ashamed of Ding Guogong!"

Ding Guogong, the first generation of Anping Marquis Zhao Chong, was posthumously named Ding Guogong after the death of General Zhao.

Master Shen remained expressionless, and continued: "By the way, think about what will happen to the Zhao family in the future."

Hearing Shen Yi mention the word Dingguo Gong, the smile on Zhao Lu's face subsided, and he looked at Shen Yi with a blank expression.

"Brother Shen, if you can keep Huai'an and Zhao is free, maybe you will think about the future of the Zhao family, but it's a pity..."

Zhao Lu turned around with his hands behind his back, and didn't say a word to Shen Yi again.

And Shen Yi looked at the back of Zhao Lu leaving.

"I will guard Huai'an, so you have no right to think about the Zhao family's fate!"

He sneered in his heart.

"At that time, His Majesty should consider this matter..."

………………

That afternoon, Zhao Lu left Huai'an with the Huaihe Navy, while Shen Yi continued to patrol the Huaihe River on horseback.

In the evening, when it was confirmed that the defense change along the Huai River had been completed, Shen Yi rode back to Huai'an Fucheng and returned to his imperial envoy.

But at this time, in his imperial envoy's camp, someone had already prepared food and wine, waiting for him to come back.

Master Shen washed up and changed into clean clothes before taking his seat. Looking at the new Huai'an prefect opposite him, he sighed slightly: "When did senior brother come?"

"At sunset."

Zhang Jian reached out to pour a glass of wine for Shen Yi, looked at Shen Yi with a haggard face, shook his head and said, "Jiang Sheng said, you have been running on the Huaihe defense line every day for the past few days."

"I don't sleep much."

Zhang Jian said in a deep voice: "This is impossible, and sooner or later you will burn yourself to pieces."

"It won't last for a few days."

Shen Yi respected Zhang Jian with a glass of wine, and said slowly: "The Huaihe Navy has evacuated Huai'an today, and the Qi people in the north will know the news in at least three days."

"This is still the Zhao Clan, without communication with the people of Qi."

Shen Yi shook his head helplessly: "Therefore, the capital must completely take over the defense along the Huaihe River in the shortest possible time."

"Too many things."

Shen Yi rubbed his forehead, his tone was a little tired: "But I have to do it."

Having said that, he looked at Zhang Jian and forced a smile: "How is senior brother these days?"

"The hundred officers and soldiers you gave me will obey orders."

Zhang Jian smiled and said: "Of course I am very good. The entire Yamen of Huaihe Mansion, now what I say is what I say, and no one dares to refute half a sentence."

Having said that, he looked at Shen Yi who was eating, and asked in a low voice: "Ziheng, tell me the truth."

"when…"

"It's as short as three to five days."

Shen Yi put down his chopsticks and let out a breath of foul air.

"Long as half a month."

"There will definitely be a fight..."
