marquis of jingan

Chapter 927

Hearing Shen Yi's emotion, Zhang Jian looked back at Shen Yi, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"From ancient times to the present, a truly strong army has to be rolled in blood before it can be achieved. Don't take it too seriously, Ziheng."

After all, Shen Yi was still too young, and he didn't have long experience in leading the army.

He used to be in the southeast, although he was also a leader in name, but that was not considered a war, it could only be said to suppress bandits and Japanese.

He really started fighting in August last year, and it has only been a little over a year now.

In such a short time, he has not had time to adapt to the cruel battlefield.

Of course, neither did Zhang Jian.

However, Zhang Jian has read a lot since he was a child, and he has not personally experienced things on the battlefield and does not have to make decisions, so the psychological pressure is not as great as Shen Yi, so he can persuade Shen Yi from the perspective of an outsider.

Shen Yi nodded silently, exhaling a foul breath.

"Right now, I'm always uncomfortable, and maybe I'll get used to it in the future."

While the two were talking, someone brought them broth. After Shen Yi took it, he drank a big gulp and felt his body warmed up a lot.

Zhang Jian grew up in a wealthy family, and he is much more refined in comparison. After taking two sips in a slow manner, he looked at Shen Yi and asked, "I'm going back to Huai'an tomorrow, and Ziheng will go with me." no?"

After thinking for a while, Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "Tomorrow I will leave and go to the Lianshui camp to see the situation, lest the brothers in the Lianshui camp say that I am biased, and I have never been to this battle from the beginning to the end. "

Zhang Jian said with a smile: "That Ziheng, are you biased?"

Shen Yi smiled, but did not respond.

From Shen Yi's own subjective point of view, he was not partial, after all, the soldiers on both sides were treated the same, and Shen Yi didn't feel sorry for Ling Su and the soldiers on the western front.

But judging from the process and results, Shen Yi did indeed have some bias towards the Eastern Front, or some bias towards Xue Wei and others.

Because there are relatively more wars on the eastern front, Shen Yi has to devote more resources, effort and attention here, and the direct result is that the eastern front of this war will also make more contributions.

Although Shen Yi said that things are one, credit is also one, but that is the credit of the whole. If it is subdivided, the credit for killing the enemy will naturally fall on the individual.

After a busy day at the Xiangshui camp, Shen Yi said goodbye to Zhang Jian the next day, and went to the Lianshui camp to check the situation of the Lianshui camp.

Compared with the Xiangshui camp, the pressure on the Lianshui camp is not too great, and the morale of the army is considered good, because the pigs, cattle and sheep sent by Shen Yi have also arrived, and the Lianshui camp has also celebrated for several days. Shen Yi He also stayed in Lianshui camp for three or four days before leaving for the imperial envoy of Huai'an Mansion.

After he returned to the imperial envoy, he worked in the imperial envoy's office every day. First, he had a rest, and second, he had to rearrange Huai'an's defense.

It is worth mentioning that Song Heng and Song Juren introduced by Mr. Lu are extremely talented in account management. The accounts of the imperial envoy Xingyuan are organized by him in an orderly and clear manner, which makes Shen Yi's office work a lot easier.

For this reason, Master Shen also rewarded him with a sum of money, which can be regarded as retaining talents.

Time passed day by day, and soon, it entered the middle of the twelfth lunar month in Hongde's 12th year.

On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Master Shen arranged all the affairs of Huai'an Mansion, and at the same time asked Jiang Sheng to pack up and salute, and was ready to leave for Jiankang.

Returning to Jiankang this time is extremely crucial for Shen Yi.

Because the things on the battlefield are temporarily over, but as a continuation of the war, the disputes in the court are not over yet. As the current "leader" of the Northern Expedition, Shen Yi must return to Jiankang to fight with those old guys. fight.

At the same time, he must thoroughly stabilize his current position as the "leader of the Northern Expedition".

This morning, Jiang Sheng arranged everything. Shen Yi got into the carriage and left Huai'an City. Zhang Jian, the prefect of Huai'an, personally sent him out of the city. Master Shen pulled Zhang Jian's sleeve and said with a smile: "Brother won't go back to Jiankang for the New Year this year?"

At this time, after a period of time, the cloud of war in Shen Yi's heart has dissipated a lot, and his personality has returned to his former cheerfulness.

"Not going back."

Zhang Jian shook his head slightly and said, "Father and father are not in Jiankang. If I want to go home for the New Year, I have to go back to Yuqian. Yuqian is too far away."

Having said that, Zhang Jian first took out a letter from his sleeve, then groped for a wooden box in his bosom, handed it to Shen Yi together, and said, "You know, Ziheng, I like beautiful jade for my brother. I had nothing to do in a year or two, and I found a piece of good jade on the streets of Huai'an. Please entrust Ziheng to bring this letter back to Jiankang and hand it over to my teacher. I will treat it as my disciple and give it to you. It's the teacher's New Year's gift."

Shen Yi took the wooden box and said with a smile: "I thought it was given to me by senior brother, but I didn't expect it was for Uncle Zhao."

Zhang Jian smiled dumbly: "Your Shen Shilang's limelight, how can you value these little things?"

Shen Yi smiled slightly, and cupped his hands at Zhang Jian: "Okay, brother, it's getting late, I'm in a hurry, so I won't say much."

"It's going to be a common thing in the future, so you and my brothers can get together and have a good drink."

Zhang Jian bowed his hand to return the salute, and said with a smile: "Then I hope that one day, our brothers can drink in Yandu."

Master Shen nodded with a smile: "There will definitely be that day."

It's two brothers, saying goodbye.

After Shen Yi got into his own carriage, the carriage started slowly.

He was not alone in his carriage, Jiang Ming, the young master of the Jiang family, was leaning in the carriage at the moment, seeing Shen Yi get into the carriage, he quickly lowered his head and called "Uncle Shen".

Young Master Jiang was seriously injured in this battle. There were knife wounds on his arms, shoulders, and thighs. Fortunately, he was young, and the scabs had already healed.

I don't know if it was because he never left home, or because he was homesick after being injured, Young Master Jiang wanted to go home for the New Year. Because of his injury, he needed a spacious carriage, so Shen Yi let him ride with him.

Hearing his name, Master Shen felt a little helpless, sat opposite Jiang Ming, and asked, "Does the wound still hurt?"

Jiang Ming grinned: "Most of them don't hurt anymore, it's just that the cut on the arm was too deep, it hasn't completely healed yet, and it's a little painful."

Shen Yi asked with a smile: "Will you come next year?"

Jiang Ming's eyes widened immediately, and he said loudly: "Of course, I am now the general banner. General Xue personally promoted me. He said that he will promote me to be a hundred households next year. How can I not come?!"

Shen Yi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then burst out laughing.

"You came to Huai'an as a Yin official, and when you come, you are ranked seventh. How can you be the general banner? Xue Wei is also messing around."

"What's the difference?"

Jiang Ming raised his head and looked at Shen Yi: "Yin Guan is my eldest father's skill, and military position in the army is my own skill!"

Master Shen smiled slightly, not arguing with him.

The distance from Huai'an Mansion to Jiankang was 25 miles. Because there was a wounded number on the car, they couldn't rush too fast, so they walked for eleven or twelve days. It was not until the morning of the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month that a group of people arrived at the city of Jiankang.

At this moment, Jiang Ming's injuries recovered a bit. When he heard that Jiankang was approaching, he poked his head out of the carriage and saw Jiankang City in front of him from a distance. This yamen who grew up in Jiankang, His eyes were red and he almost shed tears.

Shen Yi sat quietly in the carriage, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "I didn't cry when I was stabbed, why did I cry when I got close to home?"

Young Master Jiang wiped away his tears and turned his head slightly.

"I didn't cry..."

Shen Yi smiled slightly and did not continue talking.

His carriage was getting closer and closer to Jiankang City. When the carriage was about to approach, Jiang Sheng, who was driving the carriage, suddenly stopped the horse, turned his head and said to the carriage, "My lord, there is a guard of honor ahead..."

"It seems to be here to greet you?"

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then lifted the curtain of the car to look outside. Near the gate of Jiankang City, there was already a guard of honor waiting for him, as if he was waiting for him.

He looked far away, and there was an acquaintance standing under the city gate in the distance. Master Shen didn't dare to neglect, he jumped off the carriage and went up to him, bowed his hands to the old acquaintance from a distance, with a smile on his face.

"The next official pays homage to Tang Zun."

The person who came was Jiang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of War.

Jiang Shangshu looked Shen Yi up and down, with a smile all over his face: "Congratulations on Ziheng's triumphant return."

Shen Yi didn't even dare to speak, and then asked with a smile: "Why is Tang Zun waiting here? Could it be that he came to welcome your grandson?"

Jiang Jian shook her head slightly.

"The old man is here to welcome you on behalf of His Majesty."

As he said that, he pointed to the guard of honor at the gate of the city, and said with a smile: "See, the guard of honor for the imperial envoy has been prepared for you. Now that the court meeting has not yet ended, Your Majesty said..."

"Let you wear the python robe."

"Go to the palace immediately..."
