marquis of jingan

When Shen Yi woke up, it was already night.

He woke up from a nightmare.

After opening his eyes suddenly, he sat up directly, and then looked around, all around was pitch black.

He exclaimed, and immediately there was movement outside the tent. Jiang Sheng picked up a lantern and hurried in. After hanging up the lantern, he walked to Shen Yi's bed in a panic, and fell directly on the ground. All trembling.

"Sir, you are awake!"

There was some crying in Jiang Sheng's voice.

"My lord, you've had a fever for a long time and you haven't woken up, but it scared us all the way!"

Shen Yi took a few breaths, and then looked at Jiang Sheng. After a while, he calmed down. His voice was extremely hoarse: "Give me some water."

Only then did Jiang Sheng come back to his senses, and immediately got up to pour water for Shen Yi.

At this moment, Master Shen was extremely thirsty, after taking the water bowl, he raised his head and drank it clean, only feeling sweet and refreshing in the mouth.

After drinking a bowl of water, Shen Yi let out a mouthful of foul air, looked at Jiang Sheng, and asked, "What time is it now?"

Jiang Sheng quickly lowered his head and said, "Go back to your son, it's almost time..."

Shen Yi nodded silently, and asked again: "Where are we?"

"In the big camp near Huai'an, the one stationed here is the Guangzhou Weijiazi camp..."

Hearing these words, Shen Yi immediately understood where he was.

In a place close to Huai'an Mansion, Shen Yi also arranged for a thousand-household battalion to be stationed, and the reason for stationing here was to cover the "defeated army" from entering Huai'an City at a critical time.

At the same time, this army can also help the prefect of Huai'an to maintain order in Huai'an when necessary.

Therefore, this camp is very close to Huai'an City, only four or five miles away.

In other words, here and now, it should be absolutely safe.

Master Shen sat up, rubbed his head, collected his thoughts, and then asked softly: "In the camp, who is in charge now, let him come to see me."

Jiang Sheng lowered his head and replied: "Young master, after you fell asleep, you were sent to this camp together with General Xue. Later, the wounded soldiers on the front line were also sent here for treatment one after another."

"Now, in the afternoon, Mr. Zhang, the magistrate of Huai'an, rushed to the camp with some doctors. After checking your situation, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang stayed. Now he is in charge of the affairs of the camp. .”

Shen Yi nodded silently, lay back on the bed, and said slowly: "Go and see, if Senior Brother Zhang hasn't slept yet, please invite him to my place, if he has fallen asleep, then find a general in the camp, Bring me here."

"Yes."

Jiang Sheng hurriedly got up and ran out of Shen Yi's tent cautiously.

After a while, Jiang Sheng held the lamp and invited a young official into Shen Yi's tent. After seeing the young man, Shen Yi tried to sit up with his arms stretched.

Zhang Jian took two steps forward, pressed Shen Yi's shoulder, and motioned him to lie down and talk.

At this moment, Shen Yi didn't feel any pain in his body, so he didn't insist on sitting up, but smiled wryly at Zhang Jian: "It's quite embarrassing, I made senior brother laugh at me."

Zhang Jian looked serious, he stood up straight to Shen Yi, bowed respectfully to Shen Yi and said: "There is no scholar in this dynasty who is better than Zi Heng, I bow to you for my brother."

Master Shen sat up with his arms propped up, shaking his head slightly.

"Seniors and youngsters are orderly, senior brother don't want to shorten my life span."

Zhang Jian found a small bench by herself, sat by Shen Yi's bed, and said with a smile: "What is the order of the young and old, Qilang can be said to have immeasurable merits now, don't say that I want to worship you, in my opinion, it is Jian The nobles in Kangcheng and the prime ministers in Zhongshu should also pay homage to Qilang."

Shen Yi shook his head and said: "After fainting, I don't know about personnel and affairs, and now I don't know what happened."

"I also ask my brother to enlighten me."

Zhang Jian sighed silently, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wei has not had time to meet that General Su, so I just got some information from a thousand household registration."

After a pause, he said, "When you passed out, Ziheng, four battalions of thousands of households rushed to the Zhouqiao battlefield one after another and took over the battle."

"After that, you were sent back to the rear, and General Su Ding insisted on commanding from the front line."

"I heard that after the reinforcements arrived, the pressure on Zhouqiao's defense dropped sharply, and the follow-up reinforcements were also arriving, so Zhouqiao fought fiercely all day. After nightfall, those Qi people slowly retreated."

After speaking, Zhang Jian looked up at the night outside, and said, "At this moment, the fighting on the front line may not have stopped, but the large-scale fighting may have ended."

He looked at Shen Yi, and said in a deep voice: "This time, the people of Qi lost troops and generals, and failed to break through our Huai'an's Zhouqiao defense line. There are nearly [-] of them, and they didn't even see our Huai'an city wall!"

"Ziheng, you are amazing!"

Zhang Jian clapped his hands and said, "Brother, I thought you were great before, but I only thought that you were a seed of reading, who could pass down your poems and prose, but now I realize that Ziheng's literary talent is not worth mentioning compared to the art of war! "

Zhang Fuzun said with emotion: "I am Da Chen, how long has there been no such unborn person as Zi Heng."

"Fortunately, Ziheng, you are a scholar, if you are a general..."

Zhang Jian said softly, "I'm afraid I don't have the opportunity to stand out like today."

Shen Yi rubbed his sore arm, and just as he raised his hand, he felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder, and he couldn't help but let out a "hiss".

Zhang Jian hurriedly supported Shen Yi, and said, "Ziheng, you have a knife wound on your right back shoulder. Although it is not very deep, it has bled a lot. The doctor has already bandaged it up. Don't move around."

Shen Yi frowned, shook his head and said, "It's weird, I don't even know it."

"It's like this on the battlefield."

Zhang Jian said softly: "Many soldiers are injured on the battlefield, but they don't feel the pain. They can only feel the pain when they are off the battlefield."

"Fortunately, it didn't hurt your bones."

Zhang Jian said, "Otherwise your hand holding the pen will have problems."

Shen Yi rubbed his forehead with his left hand, sorted out his messy thoughts, and then asked: "Zhouqiao camp, a total of 2000 people, have all been withdrawn, how many casualties?"

"How is Xue Wei now?"

"and also…"

Shen Yi opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Jian, and said hoarsely, "How about the casualties of my five hundred cavalry?"

Hearing that Shen Yi asked three questions in a row, Zhang Jian sighed helplessly.

"Ziheng, more than half of the 2000 people in the Zhouqiao camp were killed..."

"The remaining half, almost everyone is injured. It's hard to say whether two or three hundred people can survive."

"There are hundreds of people left. Even if some of them can be rescued, it is estimated that there is no way to fight again."

Shen Yi was silent.

Although Zhang Jian's words were not as direct as what he said, the meaning was obvious.

Zhouqiao's two thousand-household battalions have been completely disabled!
If they are not supplemented with troops, even the establishment may not exist.

Zhang Jian saw that Shen Yi's face was not good-looking, he was silent for a while, and continued: "According to what Huang Cong and Huang Qianhu said, the [-] cavalry who rushed to rescue Zhouqiao this time, the total casualties may be more than half, the specific number..."

"Brother, there are none here."

"As for General Xue..."

"I'm having a fever right now."

Zhang Jian said in a low voice: "I found the best doctor in Huai'an for my brother to treat his injury. The doctor said that his injury is not serious and he needs to get over it by himself."

"However, the doctor said that General Xue's body is very strong, and there is a high probability that he can carry it."

Shen Yi sat by the bed, quietly listening to Zhang Jian finish speaking.

Every time Zhang Jian said something, his face became ugly.

Seeing that Shen Yi's face was not very good-looking, Zhang Fuzun said quickly: "But Ziheng, don't worry, Huang Qianhu said that the casualties of Qi people must be more than ours."

Shen Yi took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Jian, and continued to ask: "How is the follow-up battle going?"

Zhang Fuzun had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Ziheng, I'm just a magistrate, and I'm just here to help. I don't know many things about the military..."

Shen Yi nodded silently, he turned his head slowly and looked to the north.

The face is like a flat lake, but the anger in the chest is already like a stormy sea.

"I have written down all these accounts..."

Master Shen's hands under his sleeves clenched hard.

He whispered in his heart.

"Soon, Shen will get his money back with interest..."
