Chapter 892 Loyalty and Filial Piety
If Zhou Shizhong had come to the south bank in person without being bound by the court, Shen Yi would have cut this guy down immediately without even thinking about it.

Once Zhou Shizhong died, there was no need for Li Mu to take risks in Yandu again, because the two countries would inevitably turn against each other, and it would be meaningless for him to go to Yandu again.

Moreover, the emperor also hopes to see this situation, so if Shen Yi does this, the emperor will not punish him, but the princes in the temple and the court's law will not spare him. Small things matter.

Even the emperor may not be able to keep him.

Therefore, he could only watch Li Mu go north, but there was nothing he could do.

Li Mu's trip to the north was somewhat dangerous, because Shen Yi knew very well that Li Mu's trip was to offend the people of Qi.

Most of the Qi people's court is not easy to kill him, and they dare not kill him, but as long as he leaves Yandu, the radicals among the Qi people, especially the radicals among the real Zhu Li, will definitely kill him!
That's why Shen Yi warned Li Mu not to leave Yandu if the situation was not right.

The so-called situation is not right, it just means that the Northern Qi court did not send people to escort him, or did not send a lot of people to escort him. Under such circumstances, he would definitely die if he left Yandu.

After watching Li Mu's boat go away on the Huaihe River, Zhang Jian was silent for a while, and said, "I don't know if this battle can end here."

Li Mu's intention to go to Yandu was not known by anyone in the court. The ministers, including the five prime ministers in Zhongshu, really thought that Li Mu was going to negotiate a peace. They even drew up a peace negotiation charter and handed it to the emperor. approval.

No one knew that the peace agreement drafted by Zhongshu was thrown aside as soon as it entered the Ganlu Hall, and the emperor never looked at it.

Now, probably only the emperor, Shen Yi, Li Mu, Gao Ming and a few people from the inner guard know Li Mu's true intention to go.

Therefore, Zhang Jian was naturally kept in the dark.

He toasted Li Mu with a glass of wine yesterday because he felt that it would be somewhat dangerous for a man like Li Mu to go deep into the enemy's hinterland.

Master Shen shook his head slightly, instead of answering the question directly, he said slowly, "I'm afraid it's not that easy."

Zhang Jian nodded and said: "The people of Qi have suffered a great loss under Ziheng's hands for more than a year, and it is probably difficult for them to swallow this breath. Even if this battle is called a truce, it may only be a temporary truce. "

"Sooner or later there will be a war."

Master Shen shook his head again, smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid I don't need the future."

Zhang Jian glanced at Shen Yi thoughtfully, and then at the boats approaching the north bank. He frowned slightly, as if he wanted to understand something.

But he hesitated for a while, and still didn't say anything, turned around and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Forget it, the soldiers come to block you, the water comes to cover you, don't think about other things, let's go, let's go drink .”

Master Shen rolled his eyes at this guy: "Do you want me to cover up when the water comes?"

Zhang Fuzun laughed.

"It's hard work for those who are capable!"

………………

The second day after Li Mu left Dachen territory, Shen Yi called a meeting of more than a thousand generals under his command in Xiangshui Camp.

At this time, the Huai'an army already had 3 people, and it had been reorganized into [-] battalions of thousands of households. Therefore, there were nearly forty generals participating in the meeting this time.

The purpose of Shen Yi calling them to a meeting is very simple, mainly to convey his opinion to them.

That is, no matter how the court talks about peace, Huai'an's military training cannot be slackened, let alone stopped, and it must be ready for war at any time.

After half of the training, Mr. Shen stood at the front and looked at the thousands of households under his hands. He coughed and said, "Besides the daily training, there is one more thing that Mr. Shen wants to convey to you all."

He lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said slowly: "Two days ago, I received a document from the imperial court. The imperial court has sent General Xiao to be the commander of the coastal capital. .”

Speaking of this, Shen Yi paused, and continued: "Our Huai'an army will be reorganized into the Huai'an Army, and will no longer go back to the southeast to garrison the local guard."

He looked at the crowd and said slowly: "I know that among all of you, there are still people who miss their hometown and don't really want to stay and fight against the people of Qi."

"Originally, the imperial court issued an order, and this matter is irreversible, but you are all old brothers who have been with me for a long time, and I can come forward to mediate for the brothers."

"You heard me right."

Master Shen took a deep breath, and said slowly: "From today to one month later, if anyone in the Huai'an army wants to be transferred back to the local guard, they can report to their respective thousand households, and everyone will be responsible." Hu Tongyi sent me here, and I will go to the Ministry of War in person to mediate with you on this matter, and transfer you back to the place as usual."

All the people here are Qianhu, and most of them have credited Shen Yi. Unless someone goes crazy, no one is willing to return to the place, so no one answered. After a while, there was only one Qianhu who looked only 23 or [-] years old. Hu, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and stood up.

He cupped his fists at Shen Yi, and just about to speak, Xue Wei kicked him back into the team, glaring at the young Qianhu.

This Qianhu was Xue Wei's subordinate Qianhu. After being kicked, he shrank back and dared not speak.

Shen Yi frowned: "Xue Wei, what are you doing!"

Xue Wei immediately clasped his fists, lowered his head and said: "Mr. Shen, this kid has lost his mind and went crazy. I will tell him about it later, and he will repent."

Shen Yi glanced at this guy, knowing that Xue Wei didn't want his subordinates to ruin their future, but he still walked up to this young Qianhu, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "If I remember correctly, you are the original Wenzhou Wei Qianhu Lu Yuan, you want to go back to the local guard?"

This Lu Qianhu glanced at Xue Wei cautiously, then lowered his head and said: "Mr. Shen, my subordinates are from Wenzhou Prefecture. There is still an old mother in Wenzhou Prefecture, and she has never been married. I am afraid that my mother will not be able to live alone, so I want to To call back..."

He suddenly raised his head and saw Xue Wei's angry and indisputable expression.

"Subordinate...Subordinate, think again..."

Shen Yi was silent for a while, exhaled a foul breath, and said, "Go back to Wenzhou."

Lu Yuan let out an "ah", lowered his head, and clenched his hands tightly, his nails almost seeping into his flesh.

Although the generals of the Huai'an army are generally not very old, he must have made a lot of credit for being able to achieve thousands of households at this age, and being familiar with Xue Wei.

At this time, Shen Yi said lightly, and all his efforts in the Huai'an Army were in vain.

He knelt down on the ground with a plop, tears in his eyes: "Subordinate, I am ashamed of being cultivated by Mr. Shen..."

"Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both."

Shen Yi reached out to help him up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm not driving you away, I promise you a month's leave, you go back to Wenzhou on horseback to visit your old mother, and make a decision after you return to Wenzhou. When you come back, you will still be a Qianhu of the Huai’an Army, if you don’t come back, I will go to the Ministry of War for you and ask you to go to the Wenzhou Guard as Qianhu.”

"Go back this time and meet with my mother to see if we can discuss a way to combine loyalty and filial piety."

Lu Yuan was overjoyed, plopped down on his knees, and kowtowed to Shen Yi.

Master Shen looked around at the generals present, hesitated for a moment, and said, "For the generals present here who intend to go back to the southeast, I will give you a chance to go home and take a look, but it is agreed that at most [-]% Thousands of households left the Huai'an army and went back to their hometown to visit their relatives."

"The training in the army must not be left behind."

Everyone clasped their fists at Shen Yi again: "Thank you Mr. Shen, the general will obey!"

In fact, not many generals left the Huai'an Army. After all, the big guys were forced to join the army to suppress the Japanese, and it was hard to be the only child in the family.

In this way, relying on his absolute personal prestige, Mr. Shen completed their transition from the coastal capital to the Huai'an army calmly.

After the meeting, Xue Wei found Lu Yuan immediately, grabbed his collar and yelled at him.

"You bastard! If it weren't for Mr. Shen, you might not even be able to be a team deputy now! Now that Mr. Shen is employing people, you have become a bird, and you want to go back to your hometown to enjoy the blessings?!"

He scolded angrily: "Follow Mr. Shen, the future is boundless, look at your short-sighted virtue!"

Lu Yuan was said to have no temper. He lowered his hands and said cautiously: "General Xue, that's not the meaning of the last general, the last general..."

He wanted to continue talking, but Jiang Sheng had already run over.

"General Xue, my son invites you to discuss matters."

Xue Wei nodded, indicating that he knew it, and then he walked towards Shen Yi's handsome tent, turning his head and cursing: "If you go back to Wenzhou Mansion, I, Xue Dao, will never recognize you as a brother again!"

After that, he walked towards the handsome tent.

In the commander's tent, several commander-level generals had already arrived, and Master Shen coughed.

"Everyone, I'm going back to Jiankang recently."

He looked around.

"I will entrust all the matters in Huai'an to you."
