Chapter 910 One Hundred Thousand Enemies

Shen Yi and his party left this unknown town on horseback. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the town, Ling Su, who was guarding outside, rode behind Shen Yi.

"Mr. Shen, you came out so soon."

Hongze Lake is close to the west line, Shen Yi came to Hongze Lake to meet Zhao Lu, Ling Su naturally wanted to send someone to protect him, in fact there were two thousand battalions of the Huai'an Army outside the town at this time, to guard against the intruders in the town When something happened suddenly, they immediately rushed in to save people.

Shen Yi sat on the horseback, glanced back at the small town behind him, and said, "It's just a few words, and we can't talk for too long."

Ling Su hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Has General Zhao let go?"

Shen Yi shook his head: "I don't know."

"I've finished what I have to say. What exactly the Huaihe Navy will do is the business of their Zhao family, and I have no control over it."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi paused, and said slowly: "However, regardless of whether the Huaihe Navy will make any moves or not, our battle plan remains unchanged. We must prepare for the worst and deal with Qiren with all our strength."

Ling Su lowered his head slightly, and said: "Mr. Shen, my subordinates have been thinking about this war these days. As you said, the most stressful part of this war should be the Eastern Front. The subordinate's thinking is that if the time comes, all If the people are attacking the eastern front by force, if the pressure on the western front is not strong, the subordinates want to lead troops across the Huaihe River and hit the people's backs."

Shen Yi was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly: "It's too risky."

"If the people of Qi attack Huai'an again, it will probably be like a lion fighting a rabbit. At that time, no matter whether it is the eastern or western front, the pressure will not be too small. My opinion is that you should try to defend the western front. If the time comes If you have spare capacity, support the Eastern Front.”

Speaking of this, Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, and said: "But when the fight starts, I'm afraid I don't have the energy to take care of the west. At that time, General Ling, you will be the supreme commander of the western front. As long as it suits the situation of the battle, no matter what decision you make before the battle, They can all be let go.”

Shen Yi said calmly: "No matter what happens, you and I will bear it together."

Hearing this, Ling Su sat on the horseback, cupped his fists respectfully at Shen Yi, and said in a rather excited tone, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your trust!"

"Subordinates must fight this battle well!"

Shen Yi and Ling Su walked side by side, reached out and patted the shoulder of the No. [-] figure in the Huai'an Army, and said slowly.

"Fight this battle well, and the next battle will be to the north of Huaihe River."

After saying this, Master Shen shook the reins, and said: "Okay, I'm going back to the Eastern Front, and I'll leave the matter on the Western Front to you, General Ling. If there is anything, please let me know in time. Interacting with each other."

Ling Su cupped his fists respectfully: "The subordinates understand."

Master Shen jumped on his horse and raised his whip, leading a group of followers, and gradually ran eastward from the road.

Ling Su and the others followed for a quarter of an hour, then looked at the backs of Shen Yi and the others as they drifted away.

After Shen Yi walked away, Liu Mingyuan, the acting commander behind Ling Su, looked at the direction Shen Yi was going, and said: "Mr. Running to the east, it is rare for us to sit on the west front.”

Hearing this, Ling Su frowned, glanced back at this subordinate, and said in a low voice, "Why are you crazy? This time, the people of Qi are planning to land from the coast. It is obvious that the eastern front is the main battlefield, and Mr. Shen should naturally go there." , besides, the last time we crossed the river on the west front, did Shen Gong not sit on the west front?"

Liu Mingyuan used to be a thousand householder in Linhaiwei, his qualifications were far older than Xue Wei, and he was also one of the first group of people in Linhaiwei who followed Shen Yi, so he dared to complain about Shen Yi behind his back.

After being scolded by Ling Su, Liu Mingyuan lowered his head slightly and did not speak.

Zhang Meng on the side coughed and said with a smile: "In my opinion, Mr. Shen believes in General Ling's ability and is not at ease with General Xue. That's why he spends most of his time in the east. There is no intention of favoring one over another."

His words gave the two of them a step down. Sitting on the horseback, Liu Mingyuan muttered, "It's not General Xue who is in charge of the east."

"That Su..."

"enough."

Ling Su turned his head and gave Liu Mingyuan a vicious look.

"Why are you getting more and more outrageous now? Mr. Shen just explained that things are one, and you say such things, completely forgetting what Mr. Shen said!"

"Now, everything is false, no matter the east or west, or who is in charge."

"The most important thing is to fight this battle well!"

Liu Mingyuan still obeyed Shen Yi and Ling Su very much, but in the entire Huai'an army, he only obeyed these two people, and even Xue Wei was not convinced in his heart.

Hearing this, he cupped his fists towards Ling Su, bowed his head and said: "This subordinate understands, this subordinate made a slip of the tongue for a while, please punish the general!"

"What am I punishing you for?"

Ling Su reined in the reins and returned to his horse, and galloped towards the Lianshui camp.

"If you say something wrong, someone will punish you in the future!"

After saying this, Ling Su galloped away.

Zhang Meng touched Liu Mingyuan's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Brother Liu, don't you remember the story of Shen Dade's response back then?"

When Liu Mingyuan heard this, his heart shuddered.

That's right, Mr. Shen was able to check the private matters of the two thousand households back then!

He couldn't help shivering, patted Zhang Meng on the shoulder, and said, "Brother..."

Zhang Meng pulled the rein and said, "Okay, don't say anything, go back to the camp and prepare for the battle."

"It's serious to fight this battle well!"

………………

On the Eastern Front, Xiangshui Camp.

After Shen Yi met with Zhao Lu, he rushed back without stopping. He first went back to the tent to take a nap, and then he asked Xue Wei and Su Ding to come over.

Soon, the two generals from the Eastern Front arrived in his tent. After the two saluted, Shen Yi waved his hand, signaling them to sit down and talk.

After the two sat down, Shen Yi rubbed his temples and said, "As of today, more than 7 people have gathered in Haizhou, north of Huai'an."

"According to the current situation, the final strength of Haizhou may be around [-]."

Master Shen opened his eyes, looked at the two people, and said: "According to the information from the Di Baosi and the inner guards, the people from Qi took action, probably in the past few days."

"Tomorrow, a batch of gunpowder and armor will arrive in Huai'an."

"There should be five more warships from the Ministry of War in the next few days."

Shen Yi looked at Xue Wei and said, "General Xue."

Xue Wei bowed his head respectfully: "The end is here."

"Once the enemy changes, you will command all the warships and engage in a water battle with the enemy. I will hand over all the artillery and gunpowder to you. Stop them for as long as you can. Remember, killing the enemy's vital force is the first priority. imperative."

"Try to make them pay the greatest price to land."

Xue Wei cupped his fists respectfully: "The last general obeys!"

Shen Yi looked at Su Ding again, and said, "As for you, General Su, you will sit in the central army and coordinate the battle. In addition to the battle on the surface of the Huaihe River, there are also blocking battles along the Huaihe River, and landing battles that may occur along the coast. .”

Without hesitation, Su Ding immediately lowered his head and cupped his fists: "The last general obeys!"

After saying this, he glanced at Shen Yi, hesitated for a while and asked, "Mr. Shen, may I ask you, under what circumstances can you withdraw to Huai'an City and stick to Huai'an?"

Shen Yi took a deep breath and said, "The number of enemies landing has exceeded [-]."

"Think about retreating to Huai'an City."

Having said that, Shen Yi paused: "The specific situation is subject to my order."

Su Ding breathed a sigh of relief, bowed his head and cupped his fists again: "This subordinate understands!"

After thinking for a while, he said, "Is that so, can we consider relocating the people of Huai'an to the city, or let them move south?"

Shen Yi closed his eyes.

"I have already contacted Master Zhang... Zhang Fuzun about this matter."

"In the past few days, the local yamen will handle it. You just need to fight the war, nothing else."

Master Shen's voice was a little tired.

"I'll do it all."
