marquis of jingan

In Xue Wei's "ward", two people, Ling Su and Su Ding, walked in one after the other. After seeing Shen Yi who was sitting by the bed, both of them bowed their heads respectfully and bowed their fists.

"Meet Mr. Shen!"

Shen Yi nodded silently.

The two looked at each other, Ling Su stepped forward, bowed his head and asked, "Mr. Shen, I heard that you were injured, but you are better now."

Su Ding also stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Shen, are your injuries all right?"

Shen Yi closed his eyes and said slowly: "I'm fine, you go and see General Xue."

The two nodded quickly, Ling Su turned his head to look at Xue Wei who was on the bed, rushed over in two or three steps, bent slightly, and asked, "Brother, are you okay?"

Su Ding also walked to the bedside, lowered his head slightly, and waited for Ling Su to finish speaking.

At this moment, Xue Wei was still in "shock". After hearing Ling Su's voice, he came back to his senses, shook his head slightly and said, "General Ling, I'm fine, just rest for a while and I'll be fine."

Ling Su heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "While on the road, I heard that brother you were seriously injured and passed out, but it frightened my brother."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Ling Su quickly glanced at Shen Yi who had his eyes closed, and said in a low voice: "Speaking of which, the east-west line should have changed defenses, but the change was delayed because of the battle of Hongze Lake. Brother, you suffered for your brother." These knives."

Xue Wei was not in high spirits, so he responded with a few words casually.

Ling Su took two steps back and stood in front of Shen Yi, waiting for Shen Yi's reprimand.

Su Ding also stepped forward at this moment. He bent over and looked at Xue Wei who was covered in bandages. His eyes turned red and he asked, "General Xue, you..."

"Has the pain subsided a little?"

He is Xue Wei's subordinate. During the fierce battle at Zhouqiao yesterday, he saw Xue Wei being carried down covered in blood with his own eyes, so he was naturally emotional at the moment.

Xue Wei shook his head: "A little pain, it's okay."

Seeing Su Ding, he became much more energetic and asked, "General Su, what's the follow-up to the Zhouqiao battle?"

Su Ding turned his head and glanced at Shen Yi, Master Shen was also looking at him at the moment, seeing him looking at him, he said, "Say it directly."

"Yes."

Su Ding sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Back to Shen Gong, General Xue, yesterday until noon, there were 500 people in Zhouqiao, and there were only less than [-] people left to fight. Four battalions of thousands of households arrived."

"At this time, the people of Qi were also in decline. Relying on the favorable location, the last general pushed the battle line back to the bank of the Huai River, and fought fiercely from noon to night."

Su Ding took a breath, bowed his head slightly to Shen Yi and said: "According to rough statistics, in addition to the more than 1000 people injured in the Zhouqiao Camp and the Cavalry Battalion, more than [-] people were killed in the subsequent four Thousand-Household Battalions... "

"This is how to successfully repel the Qi people."

"The people of Qi were at Zhouqiao this time. More than 3000 people were killed in battle. There is no way to calculate how many of them were injured. However, some Qi people who were too late to board the boat were later captured by the general. There were about [-] people. "

"According to the general's estimate, the 8000 Qi people who attacked this time, counting the injured, at least half of them will be lost!"

Master Shen nodded silently.

Obviously, after the reinforcements arrived at Zhouqiao at noon yesterday, the intensity of the fighting between the two sides dropped suddenly.

Because Qi people are people too.

In the first stage, the number of Zhouqiao defenders was insufficient, and they still wanted to break through Zhouqiao's defense line and hit the south bank with all their might.

But the troops on the south bank, after waiting for the defenders, the Qi people's spirits naturally vented.

"The treatment of the wounded must be arranged properly. As long as there is a gasp, none of them must be saved."

Shen Yi paused, and continued: "Also, the death list must be complete, and there must be no missing one person, even if one is missing..."

Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "Then from you, Su Ding, from top to bottom to the general banner of the Hundred Household Battalion, everyone will remember it once!"

Su Ding lowered his head tremblingly, cupped his fists and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"

Master Shen finally glanced at the three of them.

His eyes were on Ling Su, Xue Wei, and Su Ding, and then his voice was hoarse: "This Zhouqiao battle, in terms of the number of casualties, we took advantage. When reporting to the court, naturally It is also a reward for victory and merit.”

"However, when you generals think of this battle in your mind, you can't regard it as a victory."

"We have suffered a loss."

Master Shen said angrily: "My two thousand-household battalions in Zhouqiao have almost all been destroyed!"

"There are only a few hundred people left who can fight!"

"And half of my cavalry battalion was also damaged."

After saying these few words, Shen Yi took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said in a deep voice, "Everyone, listen up."

"It doesn't matter if you rob it or steal it. Before spring next year, I will get you fifty boats on the Huaihe River."

"When we fought against the Japanese army, we practiced water warfare."

He looked at Su Ding and continued, "General Su also practiced water warfare when he was in Mingzhou Wei."

"Next year, Dusi must become a qualified navy."

Master Shen shouted in a deep voice: "At the very least, there must be warships that can meet the enemy on the Huaihe River, not like now, the enemy will come and leave as soon as they say!"

"Next year, we will also sit on a warship, go to the other side of the river, and kill everyone!"

Ling Su and Su Ding bowed their heads, clasped their fists together and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"

Even Xue Wei on the hospital bed couldn't help clenching his fists.

After talking about the warship, Shen Yi turned his eyes to Ling Su and Su Ding again, and continued: "This time the Zhouqiao camp was attacked."

"Our defense plan..."

Having said that, Shen Yi didn't continue talking.

But Ling Su and Su Ding both lowered their heads at the same time.

They are all people with delicate thoughts, and there are some things that Shen Yi doesn't need to say very clearly.

They could all understand, and they could all tell that Boss Shen, his boss, was extremely angry.

Master Shen looked calm, and said lightly: "I'm from the newspaper department, so you don't need the two of you to investigate this matter. I will send someone to investigate, and it doesn't matter whose subordinates are found."

Shen Yi's tone became sullen, and he said in a low voice: "I hope you will accept your punishment."

The two bowed their heads and said, "Yes, this subordinate understands."

"All right."

Master Shen stretched out his hand, Ling Su immediately took two steps forward and helped him up.

After standing up, Shen Yi looked at the two people, and said: "It is unlikely that the Qi people will attack within the year, but it is not impossible. The three of you are here to discuss the follow-up regulations. After the discussion, General Ling and Su General, return to your own line of defense."

Shen Yi paused, and continued: "I will take care of the wounded this time."

The two bowed their heads and clasped their fists again.

"The last will obey!"

"Ah."

Shen Yi nodded, turned around and staggered out of Xue Wei's big tent. Outside the tent, Jiang Sheng was already waiting. Seeing Shen Yi coming out, he immediately stepped forward to support Shen Yi, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I will help you." You go back to rest?"

Shen Yi shook his head and said, "Help me to see Senior Brother Zhang."

Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

Soon, he helped Shen Yi into Zhang Jian's tent.

Because he stayed up late last night, Zhang Jian just woke up at this moment. Seeing Shen Yi walking in, he washed his face in a hurry, frowned at Shen Yi, and said, "Why is Ziheng up now?"

"The doctor said that you need to stay in bed for a while."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said, "I'm fine."

In the tent, he found a stool and sat down, then tried to move his right arm, but still felt a huge pain.

Master Shen said with a helpless wry smile: "I tried it this morning, but my right arm will probably be useless for a while, and I can't even hold a brush, but I still have a lot to write."

"Therefore, come to trouble senior brother early in the morning."

Master Shen looked at Zhang Jian quietly.

"Give me the pen."

Zhang Jian didn't talk nonsense, and started grinding the ink directly. While grinding the ink, he asked, "What is Ziheng going to write? Write a letter, or play a book?"

"I'm afraid I have to write."

Shen Yi said in a low voice: "One is a secret letter to His Majesty, the other is a document to the imperial court, and there are also several private letters from me."

After a pause, he said, "And a letter to the residence newspaper."

Zhang Jian didn't talk nonsense, she found a chair and sat down, then spread out the paper, found a paperweight to hold it down, and looked up at Shen Yi.

"Ziheng you dictate, I will write."

The skill of writing, for Jinshi like them, is the ability to eat, so everyone can write good handwriting. In this way, Shen Yi dictated, and Zhang Jian wrote for him. It took an hour to write five or six letters. All finished.

Finally, after writing the last word, Zhang Fuzun put down the brush and looked up at Shen Yi, as if looking at a monster.

"Unconsciously."

He sighed.

"Ziheng, you are already so huge..."
