marquis of jingan

Chapter 925
This record, no matter where it is obtained, is not too ugly.

But in Shen Yi's career as a leader, this record is definitely not good-looking, and it can even be said to be a huge loss that has never been seen before.

This is only the loss of the Xiangshui County battle.

If you count the battle losses at Lingsu and Wanzhong on the western front, the losses in this battle may have exceeded [-]!
Of course, Shen Yi's Huai'an Army accounted for less than 8000% of the battle here in Xiangshui Camp. Therefore, among the 2000 casualties, the Huai'an Army's casualties should be around [-] if calculated in equal proportions.

Leaving aside the casualties of the Forbidden Army, this battle loss is acceptable to Shen Yi, but the Forbidden Army is also a human being, and they are currently under Shen Yi's command, so they cannot be completely ignored and not included in the battle damage.

Shen Yi was silent for a while, then nodded slowly, and said: "The big battle is over for the time being, but the small battle is not over yet, and there is still the treatment of the wounded, so we can't slack off."

He looked at Jiao Duan and Meng Lian, the two generals of the Forbidden Army, and said, "A few days ago, Shen entrusted Jiankang's firm, and Zhang Zhifu in Huai'an to collect wound medicines and recruit doctors, and they are now sending them to Jiankang. In the Xiangshui camp, there are probably quite a few injured brothers from the imperial army, so we will send them to the Xiangshui camp for unified treatment."

"When the injuries are healed and they can walk, the two generals will send someone to take them back to the Imperial Army, or..."

Among these wounded, some of them were seriously injured. Even if they could save their lives, it would probably be difficult for them to work in the Fifth Army Battalion.

Shen Yi paused for a moment, then continued: "Or, the Fifth Army Battalion will make other arrangements."

The two commanders of the forbidden army were pleasantly surprised.They all clasped their fists at Shen Yi and said: "Shen Yilang's arrangement like this can't be better, I will take the soldiers under my command, thanks to the servant!"

A person's vitality is strong or not. Sometimes a fall may kill a person, but it is not weak. For example, in this era of cold weapons, unless someone directly hits the vital point on the battlefield, even if it is a broken arm Legs are immortal.

At least not for the time being.

A large part of the "casualties" list reported by the military included these. Even if these people survived without losing their lives, they had lost the ability to fight again, so they were also regarded as attrition.

Shen Yi's move will undoubtedly help many wounded soldiers of the Imperial Army survive.

After talking with these three generals, the two generals of the forbidden army left first, and Su Ding followed Shen Yi into Shen Yi's tent. After the two of them sat down in the tent, Shen Yi looked at Su Ding's already suffering. With red eyes, he sighed slightly: "You haven't slept for several days, right?"

"nor."

Su Ding lowered his head slightly and said: "When I really can't bear it, my subordinates will find a place to lean on and squat for a while. In fact, the battle situation is not particularly tense, and there is time to sleep, but the subordinates themselves are too nervous..."

He smiled bitterly: "I can't sleep."

Shen Yi nodded silently, and said: "This battle is a tough one, a stupid one, it's hard for you."

He asked: "Our Huai'an army, what's the damage in battle?"

"About 900 lost."

Su Ding lowered his head slightly and said: "Among them, more than 500 people were killed in battle, and three or four hundred people were seriously injured. It's hard to say whether they can survive these few days."

"As for the minor injuries..."

Su Ding shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "It's already countless."

"This is just the battle damage of the general attack Qi people in the past two days."

"If you count the casualties from the previous few days, plus the casualties from Wanqianhu to the east, our Xiangshui camp..."

"The reduction in combat strength may be more than 5000 people."

Shen Yi patted him on the shoulder, and said: "For a while, you go to sleep for a while, and then report the specific amount, and I will reward you for your credit."

Speaking of this, Master Shen's voice was a little hoarse: "The casualties of the imperial army will also be reported."

Su Ding lowered his head slightly: "This subordinate understands."

After saying this, Su Ding did not move for a long time, nor did he intend to leave. Shen Yi glanced at him and said silently: "Two glasses?"

Su Ding lowered his head, his hands trembling slightly, then he nodded fiercely: "Drink two glasses!"

"If you don't drink, I'm afraid I won't be able to fall asleep."

Shen Yi turned his head and shouted outside the tent: "Jiang Sheng!"

"Go and call Xue Wei!"

"Bring two more jars of good wine."

Jiang Sheng outside the door responded and went to work quickly.

On this day, in this temporary camp, the top three members of the Huai'an Army were so drunk that they lay twisted on the ground, unconscious.

After Master Shen was drunk, he was finally able to fall into a deep sleep, and when he woke up, it was already afternoon.

When he woke up, he only felt a headache. He tried to open his eyes, and saw an extremely familiar figure sitting in his tent.

Shen Yi rubbed his temples, then sat up slowly, first he covered his forehead with both hands, and after waking up for a while, he spoke with a hoarse voice.

"When did senior brother come?"

"I arrived here at noon, and I brought some emergency sore medicine and hemostatic powder."

Zhang Jian poured a bowl of hot water, handed it to Shen Yi, then looked him up, and sighed slightly.

"Look at your current appearance, your clothes are disheveled and your beard is unshaven. You don't have the appearance of two Jinshi."

His words sounded like reproaches, but in fact he was concerned about Shen Yi. After taking a sip of hot water, Master Shen's body eased a lot. He let out a mouthful of hot air, shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "In this situation, I don't care. Being safe and sound is already a blessing from the heavens, so how can I describe it?"

After saying this, Shen Yi looked at Zhang Jian and asked, "Brother, have all the medicinal materials I entrusted someone to send from Jiankang to Huai'an arrived? Have you brought them to Xiangshui?"

Zhang Jian sighed again: "The delivery started one after another the day before yesterday. I know you are fighting a big battle. In the past two days, some doctors in Huai'an and I have been preparing some emergency medicines for you to send to the front line."

"Now, those who are seriously injured and unable to move will be treated in place, and those who can move will be sent to Xiangshui County or Huai'an Prefecture for gradual treatment."

Speaking of this, Zhang Jian paused, looked at Shen Yi, and said angrily: "In addition to medicinal materials, those people also brought a large number of pigs, cattle and sheep, and sent them to Huai'an City. There are hundreds of them. I don't have a place to go, I can only arrange it near the government office, and I really can't let it go. Now even in the backyard of my government office, there are four or five pigs and seven or eight sheep, making it stinky. "

"Your sister-in-law is at odds with me because of this."

When Shen Yi met Xu Fu a few days ago, in addition to asking him to transport gunpowder and arrows and asking him for money, he also asked him to buy some medicinal materials to stop bleeding and treat injuries, as well as some pigs, cattle and sheep to Huai'an.

Naturally, the medicinal materials are for life-saving, and the pigs, cattle and sheep are for the tooth sacrifices of these brothers who have fought.

Hearing Zhang Jian's words, the gloom in Shen Yi's heart dissipated a lot, and he smiled immediately: "It's really bad to offend Mrs. Sister-in-law. I'll go back to Huai'an later, and ask people to go to the government office and give it to my senior brother." Clean up the government office."

Zhang Jian shook her head slightly, but did not answer.

After a while, Shen Yi drank a bowl of hot water, Zhang Jianjian poured another bowl for him, then looked at Shen Yi and said: "This time, Ziheng has won another big victory. Those old men in Kang have nothing to say about you anymore."

After Shen Yi took a sip of water, he put the bowl aside and shook his head slightly: "To be honest, I would rather not have such a big victory."

"Too many people died."

"War, there is no one who is not dead."

Zhang Fuzun was very calm. He looked at Shen Yi and said quietly: "Ziheng said earlier that this battle will be the last before the Northern Expedition. Now that this battle has been won, Ziheng's Northern Expedition should not What's in the way?"

Master Shen smiled wryly and shook his head: "That depends on how the court decides, and the Northern Expedition is really going to be..."

He said slowly: "The strength of the Huai'an army is definitely not enough."

Zhang Jian narrowed his eyes, and said: "In my opinion, His Majesty will probably send you a forbidden army. Firstly, the forbidden army is ready-made, so you don't need to train from recruits. Secondly..."

Shen Yi looked calm, and said: "Secondly, the imperial court can rest assured when it is used."

Zhang Jian nodded: "That's the truth."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Since ancient times, the temple and the battlefield have not necessarily been together. Ziheng, you won the battle on the battlefield, but you may not win the battle on the temple. Fight them."

"I'm going to fight for what I should fight for."

Master Shen lowered his head, tidied up his somewhat messy clothes, and said slowly: "Besides, I am not what I used to be. If we really argue, my voice may not be lower than theirs."

Zhang Jian nodded slightly, then smiled, and said, "In the final analysis, it still depends on the holy will."

"The holy will is already evident."

Shen Yi said calmly: "Otherwise, there would be no Huai'an Army."

Having said that, he looked at Zhang Jian and asked, "Brother, after this battle, Huai'an will not be the front line in the future. Do you want to stay in Huai'an?"

"It's natural."

Zhang Jian said with a smile: "Since I'm here, I have to finish this prefect. It doesn't matter if it's the front line or not."

"The most important thing is to benefit the people of one side."

He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "What about you, Ziheng? When will you return to Jiankang?"

"A year ago."

Master Shen thought for a while and said slowly: "Just after this battle, there are still many things to deal with. Besides, the people of Qi may not be willing to suffer this boring loss. Maybe they will make a comeback. I have to spend a lot of time in Huai'an." layout."

"However, before this year's New Year's Eve, I must go back to Jiankang. Firstly, I will talk to His Majesty about the battle situation in Huai'an in detail, and discuss the matter of the Northern Expedition. Secondly..."

Shen Yi smiled, and said: "My younger brother's marriage has been postponed again and again, and now it has been postponed to the fifth day of the new year. I can't delay his marriage any longer. I always have to go back and have a look."

"Well."

Zhang Jian nodded and said, "In a blink of an eye, Zichang will get married too."

He was thoughtful.

"After getting married, it's time to fill in the vacancy?"

"Yes."

Shen Yi nodded slightly.

"Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Zichang is going to be an official too..."
