Chapter 905: War Comes Head On
Yandu Palace.

In the Nuan Pavilion, Yan Li knelt in front of His Majesty the Emperor, lowered his head respectfully, and roughly recounted the conversation he had with Li Mu.

After narrating the matter, the Prime Minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty hesitated for a moment, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the father and son of Nanchen and Jin had sensitive identities in Jiankang. At the beginning, many people thought that after Emperor Hongde became an adult, their father and son would definitely be killed. Liquidation, but for now..."

"The son of Jin Wang Li Rui seems to trust his cousin very much, and he also sincerely wants to do something for Nan Chen, isn't it..."

"It's not about being afraid of death."

Because the weather is still not cold at the moment, Emperor Zhao, who is afraid of the cold, behaved fairly normally. He held a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and said silently: "When that little emperor Nanchen came to the throne, I was not very I can look up to him, but until now, I have to admit that this doll is indeed capable."

"The heir of the Jin Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty also has a bit of style."

Speaking of this, the Emperor Zhao closed his eyes and sighed: "This generation of the Li family has begun to produce characters..."

"Much stronger than Li He's generation."

Yan Li knelt on the ground, not daring to get up.

Emperor Zhao seemed to have just discovered that his prime minister had been kneeling for a long time. He waved his hand and said, "Get up, you don't need to kneel."

Yan Li bowed his head respectfully and thanked him, and stood up cautiously.

Emperor Zhao glanced at him, suddenly his mind moved, and asked: "Yan Xiang, who do you think is the most suitable heir among my princes?"

This is a question that has troubled the Emperor Zhao for several years.

Ever since he suddenly fell ill, he has been thinking about the issue of successors, because for a big country like Northern Qi, it is difficult for foreign factors and enemies to touch their foundations, and only the successors can truly shake the foundations of the country.

Last year, Emperor Zhao had a heart for the fourth prince, Zhao Kai, so he sent him to the Huai River to test his vision and skills.

The results speak for themselves.

Zhao Kai is a little clever, but his vision and pattern are not enough to be the master, and when it is important, he is unwilling to take any responsibility. It is really not the appearance of the master.

Therefore, Emperor Zhao could only look at the other sons.

Yan Li was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, how can the old minister put his beak on such a big matter..."

"You…"

Emperor Zhao looked at the prime minister who was kneeling in front of him with his buttocks pouted, and said with emotion: "You Hanchen, everything is fine, but sometimes you are too cautious. Since I asked you, I asked you to say it." , what dare you?"

Yan Li still knelt on the ground without saying a word.

The emperor sighed, and said silently: "I like you Hanchen, and I also like this."

"Obvious and sensible."

He squinted his eyes and said: "Since last year, I don't know how many real Zhu Li have come to see me in the palace. Some of them are better, and they will tell me in a roundabout way, and some of them are bold, relying on their own status, and directly tell me that they should." Stand up who stands up."

When Emperor Zhao said this, he coughed violently a few more times.

"It sounds really harsh."

Yan Li knelt on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is the foundation of the country. Our great Qi has always established virtuous people, so the country's fortune is prosperous, but if the princes are all virtuous, your majesty is really hesitant, why not..."

He lowered his head and did not continue.

Emperor Zhao said slowly: "Then learn from you Han people and establish a son and a son, right?"

Yan Li knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.

Emperor Zhao coughed again, glanced at Yan Li, and said calmly: "I know what you are thinking. It is nothing more than to let me respect Confucianism and respect Confucianism, and learn the patriarchal system of your Han people."

"A lot of things from the Han people are really good."

"Since Daqi entered the customs, it is precisely because of the good use of Sinology that the country has been stabilized, but..."

The Emperor Yongping coughed softly, sighed slightly, and said earnestly: "It's just that I have learned a lot, and I'm afraid that in the future, there will be no Zhu Lizhen in the world."

Yan Li knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said: "I think that your majesty is in the prime of life, even if your body is a little sick, you can rest and recuperate for a few days. There is no rush to establish a reserve."

"It's still you Hanchen who speaks sweetly."

Emperor Zhao narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said, "It sounds like I've been much refreshed, I'm just listening to good things..."

"But it may not be done."

The emperor took a breath, and said, "The Prince of Jin, lock him up for a few more days, and let him go back when Nan Chen's envoy comes again. As for the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty..."

"The reason why he is so arrogant now is because Shen Qi on the edge of the Huai River has repeatedly defeated my master Wang with cunning."

Emperor Zhao, who was seriously ill, clenched his fists under his spacious robe.

"I... will let him wake up slowly like his father Li He."

………………

Huai'an Mansion, Lianshui Camp.

After Shen Yi spent about half a month rectifying the Xiangshui camp, he brought his followers to the Lianshui camp.

I don't know if he received the news that Shen Yi was furious in the Xiangshui camp in advance. When Master Shen arrived in the Lianshui camp, the training in the Lianshui camp was quite hard. Many soldiers were still training hard under the sun.

The artillery battalion in the Lianshui camp has set up targets thousands of steps away, and the error can be controlled within ten steps.

This result is still very good. After all, for now, the main purpose of artillery is to hit ships. If it is to hit large ships, this accuracy is completely sufficient.

Under the leadership of Ling Su, Mr. Shen walked around the Lianshui camp, then sat in the tent with satisfaction, and said with a smile to the generals of the Lianshui camp: "Everyone has seen results in the training, it is very It's not bad."

Ling Su stood at the left of Shen Yi, lowered his head slightly when he heard the words, and said, "Mr. Shen, I heard that..."

Master Shen frowned slightly, and said: "Don't worry about the things on the Eastern Front, I've already decided, no matter what, let Su Ding take a look around."

Ling Su nodded first, and then said with a smile: "It's not that my subordinates don't believe in General Su's ability. General Su leads troops, and my subordinates have also heard of it. It's just that General Xue has made great contributions after all. Some old brothers feel that he The punishment was too severe."

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes, and said: "Whether the punishment is severe or not depends on when. Before I returned to Jiankang last time, I personally confessed that I must work hard to train troops and clean up military discipline. He is not strict in governing the army. If you treat him, I will not be able to take the Huai'an army with me."

Hearing this, Ling Su had a strange expression on his face.

He always felt that there was something in Shen Yi's words, and he seemed to be pointing at him.

After Ling Su thought for a while, he still asked: "Mr. Shen, the brothers below, including the last general, are a little puzzled. Now that the Qi people have retreated, the battle on the Huaihe River will resume, and it may be next year or even later." However, Mr. Shen, you have asked us to intensify our training..."

Shen Yi glanced at him.

Ling Su quickly shrank his head, not daring to speak.

"The war between the North and the South will not end here, it will only intensify."

Shen Yi looked at Ling Su, and said slowly: "Whether it's you, General Ling, or someone from me, Shen, or all the soldiers of our Huai'an Army."

"There is no avoiding this war, and it is a war that is coming soon."

"In the future, we may no longer stick to the Huaihe River, nor will we be able to occupy the city even if we seize it as before."

"War again, it may be a life-and-death battle, a national war that determines the fate of the country."

Master Shen said slowly: "At a time like this, the more you practice, the more you will survive on the battlefield."

Having said that, without waiting for Ling Su to speak, he continued: "In the next half a month, I will live in the Lianshui camp, train with you, and supervise your training at the same time."

He looked at the crowd and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

No one speaks.

Ling Su cupped his fists respectfully: "The subordinates are fine."

"Well…"

Master Shen nodded silently, and was about to continue talking. Jiang Sheng, who had been guarding outside the tent, suddenly walked in cautiously. He ran all the way in front of Shen Yi, handed over a piece of paper that was already a bit useless, and slightly bowed his head: "Master , sent from the north."

Shen Yi was thoughtful, and quickly opened it to take a look.

After reading it briefly, Master Shen frowned, put the piece of paper into his sleeve, then looked up at Ling Su and the others, and sighed silently: "Everyone, there is another change in the Qi people's army."

"And it's not small."

He stood up, looked around the crowd, and said slowly: "It seems that the war has not gone far, and is even getting closer to us."

"Years ago..."

Master Shen reached out and knocked on the table with a low voice.

"There will be a big battle."
