Shen You, who had long since recovered from his injuries, wore silver soft armor and rode forward with a frightening and sharp cold light in his eyes.
He raised the long sword in his hand and led the soldiers to charge.
Angry shouts and pitiful cries of fighting rang out from morning to dusk, finally ending with the complete rout and surrender of the rebels. I don’t know who threw down their weapons first, and soon, the second and third ones knelt down.
It is a common practice on the battlefield not to kill surrendering soldiers. Shen You did not give up his vigilance. He still held the long knife tightly and his eyes were cold and sharp. It was not until the soldiers collected all the weapons and tied up the surrendering soldiers that Shen You slowly exhaled. .
This battle is a great victory!
"Lieutenant General Shen," the soldier beside him whispered urgently: "Your leg is injured and you are bleeding a lot. Please let the military doctor treat the injury quickly and apply medicine!"
Military doctors also went to the battlefield together to facilitate timely treatment of seriously injured soldiers.
Shen You had been swinging his sword to kill the enemy before, and didn't even notice that he was injured. At this time, he was reminded by the soldiers around him, and he lowered his head and took a look. Sure enough, there was a knife wound on his leg, and blood overflowed, staining the soft armor red.
It is common for generals who have experienced battles to be injured.
Shen You didn't notice this minor injury. After the military doctor simply bandaged it, he led the troops back to the military camp.
General He, who has always been stern and unsmiling, personally welcomed him out of the military camp today, with appreciation and joy in his eyes: "Vice-General Shen fought bravely to kill the enemy and won a great victory. I will write a memorial to express my gratitude to Vice-General Shen!"
Only a brave and invincible general can lead his soldiers to victory. Shen You, who is extremely skilled, is like a sharp sword, shining brightly on the battlefield today!
General He completely changed his view of Shen You and gained real respect for Shen You.
This is the respect shown by a veteran general who has experienced hundreds of battles to a young general who was born to be on the battlefield. It has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Shen You noticed the subtle difference, and his heart surged with enthusiasm: "General He is responsible for commanding, and the last general is responsible for charging into the battle. He dare not take the lead."
When a battle is won, the first victory belongs to the general. This is also a battlefield practice.
General He was not polite. He smiled and patted Shen You on the shoulder: "We won the battle and pacified Jizhou. The biggest credit goes to me as the general. However, the battle merits should be yours, and they are yours."
Shen You didn't like to talk much, so he thanked him briefly: "Thank you, General He!"
The soldier on the side said garrulously: "General He, Lieutenant General Shen's leg is injured."
General He immediately said: "Immediately go back to the military tent and lie down, and let the military doctors heal your wounds. Don't be careless."
Shen You did not refuse General He's kind instructions. After returning to the military tent, he washed and bandaged again and applied the best wound medicine in the army. After fighting for a day, countless people were killed, and his physical strength was exhausted. He was tortured like this again. , tiredness swept over him unceremoniously. I don’t know when, Shen You fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep was not very peaceful, and I had nightmares again and again.
First, I dreamed of soldiers who died in various miserable ways. Headless corpses climbed up from the ground, some with missing arms and legs, howling and rushing toward them.
He did not retreat, and swung his sword to cut off the corpses that were coming one after another.
Then, I dreamed of someone again.
This man had his back turned to him, without showing his face. His back was as tall as a mountain. He suddenly turned into a child, running with his legs and shouting "Dad".
It's a pity that my father didn't look back. Although he was very close, he never caught up with this figure.
Then, I dreamed of a woman again.
This woman is about twenty years old. She has not yet taken off her mourning clothes. She has a slim figure and fair skin.
mother!
Don't leave me!
The young child in the dream was crying silently.
The woman left without looking back. Her figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
He couldn't hear the sound, and only watched the toddler curled up, crying helplessly in the darkness. Until another pair of gentle hands hugged him: "Silang, don't cry, my aunt is here."
The dream flashed and changed again.
The soft and beautiful girl smiled: "Bless my cousin."
These three words drive away all the killing and darkness.
His heart was burning, and he rushed forward and took her into his arms: "Cousin Shaojun..."
Suddenly, a real voice sounded in my ears: "Is Vice-General Shen still awake?"
The soldier who had been guarding the military tent hurriedly stood up and responded: "Go back to General He, Vice General Shen has been having nightmares all night. He was barely able to calm down until the second half of the night. When dawn came, he kept calling Shaojun's cousin."
"I don't know who this young gentleman's cousin is."
General He laughed casually and said: "Vice-General Shen went out with the army a few days after getting married. He must have missed his wife so much that he dreamed about his wife."
boom!
He woke up instantly and felt a little hot behind his ears. It was just a dream. He kept calling his beloved wife's name, which was really embarrassing. He simply kept his eyes closed and pretended that he was not awake yet.
I don’t know if General He noticed that he was pretending to sleep. In short, General He stayed for a while and then left.
After a long time, Shen You slowly "awoke".
There was a burst of pain in my right leg.
The military doctor entered the military tent, carefully inspected the injury, cleaned and bandaged it again, and then ordered: "Vice-General Shen's injury is not serious, but it is not appropriate to stay at the hospital for the time being. He should lie down for at least five or six days to prevent the wound from bursting."
The soldiers on the side quickly took over the conversation: "General He also said that Lieutenant General Shen just needs to rest and recuperate. Most of the rebels in Jizhou have been killed, and the remaining half have surrendered. Next, wait for the imperial court to send officials again to comfort them." Peace for the people."
Shen You nodded slightly.
…
The battle report of Jizhou's great victory arrived in the capital five days later.
Emperor Long'an was overjoyed and smiled at the prince: "General He is indeed a fierce general. You have really good vision. And that Shen You, although young, is very brave. He has made great achievements one after another this time. Waiting for the army When you come back, I will definitely reward you generously!"
The prince relaxed his brows and responded with a smile: "My father is so complimentary, but I am so ashamed that I cannot bear it."
"All the battles that need to be fought have been fought. Next, we have to send officials to Jizhou. I ask my father to make a decision as soon as possible."
Emperor Long'an said casually: "You can make the decision on these matters."
In the past, Emperor Long'an was hesitant to establish a prince. After he actually established the Eastern Palace, he did not cling to the imperial power and had great trust in the prince. The prince was ordered to review and review the memorials in the court. Most of the political affairs in the court were decided by the prince.
For this reason, Emperor Long'an deserves to be a good emperor.
The prince accepted the offer and returned to the East Palace, summoning his staff to discuss the candidates for Jizhou officials.
At this time, the news that Shen You was injured also reached the ears of everyone in the East Palace.
Eunuch Feng could no longer maintain his calm expression, and his right hand trembled slightly.
Eunuch Yang saw this in his eyes, sighed secretly in his heart, and said in a low voice: "San'er, you have been working in the palace for so many days, it's time to leave the palace and go back."
Feng Shaojun did not reject his adoptive father's kindness and nodded in agreement.
