marquis of jingan

Chapter 793
In Dachen, the Huaihe River still does not flow into the Yangtze River and into the sea, so this section in Huai'an still maintains a considerable width.

It is about two or three miles wide. At this distance, if the weather is clear and people with good eyesight can see the situation on the other side.

But if the weather is bad, it is not easy to see.

But at this moment, Shen Yi's coastal capital is equipped with binoculars, and in many places, he can see the situation on the other side of the river clearly.

At this time, on the north bank of the Huaihe River, there were indeed more ships gathering.

Because it was broad daylight, it was clearer to see, and roughly estimated that there might be hundreds of ships gathering on the north bank, and more ships were gathering one after another.

Shen Yi personally rushed to the river and looked at the situation on the other side with a telescope.

After he finished reading, Xue Wei, who was standing behind him, lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shen, it seems that the people of Qi are not reconciled after suffering a loss, and want to get back their position from Gaozhuang!"

Last night, the place where the Qi people raided and landed was named Gaozhuang, and even the memorial written by Zhang Jian for Shen Yi also mentioned the great victory of Gaozhuang.

While Shen Yi was thinking, Xue Wei lowered his head slightly, and said, "Mr. Shen, we can transfer three or four thousand household battalions over within a radius of fifty miles. Do you want to issue an order now to let them come over?"

After speaking, Xue Wei looked at the other side of the river, and said in a low voice: "Looking at the situation of the people, I am afraid that more than 5000 people will come this time."

Shen Yi frowned, and was about to promise Xue Wei to let him shake people, when suddenly he had an idea, shook his head slightly and said: "No hurry, let's take a look first."

"Send someone to keep an eye on these Qi people for twelve hours, but if there is any change, report to me immediately."

After saying this, Shen Yi turned around slowly and went back to his camp.

Xue Wei looked at Shen Yi's back and wanted to say something, but Su Ding at the side tugged at his sleeve and said, "General Xue, the last general also thinks that it seems that you can wait."

Xue Wei looked back at Su Ding, then he pulled Su Ding's sleeve, walked aside, and said, "Old Su, please tell me in detail, the reason behind this!"

Su Ding smiled and said: "General Xue, the moon was dark last night, the enemy came in a surprise attack, how did we find out in advance?"

Xue Wei said without hesitation: "Naturally, we have small boats on the Huaihe River, so we discovered the Qi people's movements in advance."

"Last night, the moon was dark and there was no light. We can predict the enemy's movements in advance, so today the people of Qi will gather ships in broad daylight, and they will be just across from Gaozhuang."

Speaking of this, Su Ding paused, and said: "This is probably the purpose of gathering for us to see."

Speaking of this, Xue Wei seemed to understand, he suddenly said: "General Su, what do you mean, those bastards may be pretending to attack Gaozhuang, tricking us to transfer all our troops here, and then raid elsewhere?"

"Mostly so."

Su Ding looked up at the other side of the river, and said, "Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable. Unless the Qi people directly send tens of thousands of troops to press down on Gaozhuang, otherwise it would be blatant to gather ships so blatantly." If you call, you will suffer a lot when you log in."

Xue Wei frowned and thought for a while, then clasped his fists at Su Ding, grinned and said, "Earlier, Mr. Shen asked me to learn more from General Su, but I was still a little unconvinced, but now I really learned a lot from General Su. "

"Where."

Su Ding quickly shook his head and said: "The last general also learned a lot from General Xue, and he also talked about defeating the enemy in front of the battle."

He said sincerely: "General Xue is the most powerful general I have ever seen in my life."

"Harmful."

Xue Wei shook his head grinningly, and said with a smile: "Although I'm not smart, I also know that General Su's words are to lift me up."

"But what I said to General Su is true."

Xue Wei looked sincere, and said with a smile: "General Su, you don't know."

"In the past, when I was with General Ling Suling, I often asked him questions. He always said that I was good here, and I was good there. He never taught me the real thing."

"Very mean."

Speaking of this, Xue Wei put his arms around Su Ding's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Now that General Su is willing to teach you, I am very happy."

Being hugged by Xue Wei like this, even a warrior like Su Ding would sway along with him. After coughing, he said with a smile: "General Xue, now we have to do a good job of patrolling along the Huaihe River."

He looked at the other side of the river, and said, "Looking at the movements of the people, I guess they will take action tomorrow."

"Here in Gaozhuang, you can't be negligent."

"On the battlefield, it's uncertain whether it's true or false. Maybe there will be thousands of Qi people rushing to kill these boats on the other side of the river."

After Xue Wei listened carefully to Su Ding's words, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"These things seem to be mentioned in the book of war given to me by Duke Shen, but I haven't figured out the meaning."

He smiled at Su Ding, and said: "Now that General Su said, I understand everything. It's like pouring cold water on someone, and I suddenly become smarter."

Su Ding smiled and said: "General Xue should say he suddenly became enlightened."

"Cheerful and not cheerful, I don't understand."

Xue Wei chuckled at Su Ding, reached out and patted his shoulder.

"It's a pity that I didn't meet General Su earlier."

He clenched his fists and snorted, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be overwhelmed by Ling Su."

Su Ding looked calm, and said in a low voice: "Now is General Xue's great opportunity."

"General Ling is on the western front, General Xue you are on the eastern front."

Su Ding said quietly: "General Ling's west line is close to the defense line of the Huaihe Navy. If the people of Qi want to break through the defense, they may be scruples about the Huaihe Navy. Therefore, I estimate that most of the battles will be garrisoned at the Huaihe River this time..."

"They'll all be on the Eastern Front."

Su Ding smiled and said: "The general believes that this is also the deep meaning of Shen Gong's arrangement for General Xue to guard the eastern front."

Hearing this, Xue Wei stood still for a while.

After a long time, facing Shen Yi's tent, he knelt down with a plop, tears in his eyes.

"Mr. Shen is waiting for me."

The big man bowed his head in tears.

"It's like reborn parents!"

………………

After Shen Yi returned to his camp, Zhang Jian had already left.

He first read the memorial written by Zhang Jian for him, and after confirming that there was no problem, he stamped his own seal and asked Jiang Sheng to send it back to Jiankang quickly.

Next, there are some urgent military affairs.

After he dealt with it, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Master Shen is a person who likes to sleep very much. If he is in Jiankang, he can sleep until the morning or even noon of the next day.

However, along the Huai defense line, Shen Yi woke up by himself almost every half an hour, and then called the soldiers at the door in to inquire about the situation.

In this way, he remained in a daze until the early morning of the next day, when Shen Yi was still half asleep, Su Ding's voice sounded outside his tent.

"Duke Shen, the last general Su Ding is asking to see you!"

Shen Yi immediately opened his eyes, and said directly: "You come in."

Soon, Su Ding came to Shen Yi, lowered his head and said, "Mr. Shen, forty miles to the east of Gaozhuang, a Qi people's boat was found on the river."

"Thirty miles to the west of Gaozhuang, there are also Qi people's boats coming and going!"

He lowered his head slightly and said: "Because the information said that at least forty ships appeared on the river to the east, and there were only two thousand-household battalions there, so General Xue has already rushed there at this time."

"He ordered the general to come and inform Duke Shen immediately!"

At this moment, Shen Yi was completely awake. He rubbed his eyebrows and tried his best to calm himself down.

After a few breaths, he looked up at Su Ding and asked, "Is there any movement on the river bank north of Gaozhuang?"

"Go back to Mr. Shen."

Su Ding said: "There are already more than 100 ships in the north of Gaozhuang, and they are still there now, and there is no movement."

Shen Yi immediately made a decision in his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "Pass on my order, immediately put all the artillery on the bank of the Gaozhuang River, and cover it with dead grass and branches!"

"All the soldiers in Gaozhuang stand still and are on standby at any time."

He looked at Su Ding again, and continued, "As for the east-west enemies."

Master Shen was expressionless, and said coldly: "Let your respective defenders stick to the line of defense."

"If you can't hold on anymore, let's set off fireworks for help."

Su Ding raised his head, took a deep look at Shen Yi, then bowed his head respectfully and cupped his fists.

"The last will obey!"
