When the sun was shining high, Shen Yi got up slowly.
At this time, the city of Qufu has been captured. The Yanzhou defenders are following the turtle method and there is no sign of coming out. There is no threat to him and the entire Huai'an army.
Therefore, he can sleep in leisurely and leisurely.
As for the Kong family.
Now it is Mr. Shen’s fish meat on the plate. Although this piece of fish meat is also a large mascot and cannot be chopped to death directly, no matter how big the mascot is, it cannot change their basic attributes of being human fish meat.
Therefore, Shen Yi was too lazy to pay attention to them. He would deal with it slowly after waking up.
After waking up, Shen Yi washed and dressed first, then called Jiang Sheng and asked him if anything important had happened while he was asleep.
Jiang Sheng brought breakfast to Shen Yi and said: "Qufu City has been completely controlled by General Su. The four gates are now closed and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
"Yanzhou still has no action."
After Jiang Sheng paused, he said, "General Ling has sent a document, which should be about the war situation in Jining Prefecture."
Shen Yi washed his face, wiped it clean, and said, "Bring me Ling Su's documents first."
Jiang Sheng nodded, ran all the way to get the document, handed it to Shen Yi, and said: "Sir, there are two people who want to see you. The first one is General Zhong Mingzhong under General Su."
"Also, the current talkative person of the Kong family in Qufu City is Kong Shangde, the younger brother of Kong Shangzhen, the head of the Kong family."
Mr. Shen is looking through documents at the moment.
After reading it once, my brows furrowed.
The progress of the war in Jining Prefecture is not slow, and the attack on Jining Prefecture is now being carried out in an orderly manner, but...
The battle damage was too great.
Up to now, the Right Army has lost four to five thousand men. Although most of them were injured, even so, it still caused Shen Yi some pain.
What Ling Su meant in the document was that Jining Prefecture was far harder to conquer than imagined.
Not only were there a lot of troops garrisoned, but there were also a lot of materials and equipment to defend the city, making it very difficult to fight.
Fortunately, after paying a lot of casualties and fiercely attacking, the right army has now made some progress. Ling Su's letter means that it is expected to be able to break through Jining Prefecture within five days.
Mr. Shen closed the document and his face turned a little dark.
After entering the Shandong border, the battle of the Left Route Army has been going smoothly. Even in Pozo County and Poqufu, the combined casualties did not exceed 2,000 people.
But at present, it seems that the defense specifications of state cities and county towns are still very different.
After all, Ling Su's right-leg army was not bad in combat effectiveness and suffered a moderate loss.
Shen Yi was lost in silence for a long time before he came back to his senses and asked, "What did you just say?"
Jiang Sheng lowered his head again and repeated it.
Shen Yi yawned and said, "Let Zhong Ming come to the study..."
Having said this, he looked around and asked, "Is there a study room in this residence?"
Jiang Sheng said quickly: "Yes, the young master has to deal with official business, and General Su has prepared a study room for his office."
Shen Yi nodded and said: "Take me there, and let Zhong Ming come to see me later. As for the one named Kong..."
Mr. Shen snorted: "Let him dry for now and wait until the afternoon."
After a while, Shen Yi came to the study. He dipped his pen in ink and began to reply to Ling Su.
There was nothing else in the letter, the first sentence got straight to the point.
"The soldiers surrounded Jining Prefecture, and after breaking the city, they killed Zhu Li in the sacrifice array."
…
Just as he finished writing a letter, and while Mr. Shen was still drying the ink, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Shen, please see Zhong Ming."
Shen Yi didn't even raise his head and said, "Come in."
Soon, a tall young man opened the door and walked in. After seeing Shen Yi, he bowed and clasped his fists and said, "General Zhong Ming, pay your respects to Duke Shen!"
Shen Yi glanced at him, then lowered his head and started stuffing the letter into the envelope: "I heard from General Su that you were injured and it's not serious, right?"
Zhong Ming quickly shook his head and said: "Back to Mr. Shen, General Mo only dislocated his left arm. After the military doctors in the army set the bones, there is no serious problem."
Mr. Shen nodded with a smile, pointed to the chair beside him, and said, "Sit down and talk."
Zhong Ming sat down carefully.
After he sat down, Mr. Shen thought for a moment and asked, "Tell me about the Xuanjia Guard you made in detail."
Hearing these words, Zhong Ming's face turned red and he lowered his head and said: "Mr. Shen, there is nothing to say about the Xuanjia Guards. At the end of last year, when the general was ordered to attack Yingzhou City, the city could not be captured for a long time. The general became anxious and led him. He picked out some elites he selected, painted their armor black with carbon, even their faces, and took advantage of the darkness to attack Yingzhou..."
"Later, the general found that this method was good, so he asked his elite brothers to paint black armor and rush into battle with the general. The effect was good..."
"As for Xuan Jiawei's statement, it is..."
He scratched his head and said: "The scholar shouted it out first, and somehow it spread..."
Mr. Shen was startled: "Xiucai?"
Zhong Ming quickly explained: "He is a member of a hundred households under the command of the last general. He has studied for a few days before, but he is only half-skilled. Sometimes he hangs his book bag for a few words, so the brothers gave him the nickname Xiucai... "
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember that the coach from home was a scholar, and he was a scholar with a Jinshi background, so he quickly lowered his head and said: "Mr. Shen, please don't be offended. I asked the brothers to change their names when I returned home..."
Shen Yi smiled hoarsely: "It's just a nickname, why should I be surprised?"
"It is a good thing to have a scholar in the army."
Shen Yi looked at Zhong Ming and said: "You young generals, when you have nothing to do, try your best to start reading and writing. Like Xue Wei, when you first followed me, you might not even be able to write your own name. Now I can read the military books familiarly."
Zhong Ming said quickly: "Yes, Mr. Shen, after I return, I will learn to read from the scholar!"
He lowered his head and said: "General Xue has always been the most remarkable person in the heart of the general."
Mr. Shen couldn't help but laugh: "You follow Su Ding and you still say such things, aren't you afraid that he will listen and put on your shoes?"
"ah?"
Zhong Ming obviously didn't expect this at all. After scratching his head, he felt a little at a loss: "The last general...the last general..."
"alright."
Shen Yi stopped teasing this honest man and said with a smile, "I'm just joking with you."
"Your Xuanjia Guards have some ideas. I saw that they broke the formation and attacked the city very fiercely."
"I have already informed the weapons workshops in the rear and asked them to prepare a batch of heavy armor to unify the black."
Shen Yi looked at Zhong Ming and said calmly: "When the time comes, I will leave it to you to use."
"You can take care of this Xuanjia Guard by yourself first. Later, if you gain military exploits, I will consider making it independent and form its own organization."
"The swords, armor, crossbows, horses, and other equipment given to you will all be of the best quality."
"The treatment should be improved by one level first."
Mr. Shen said calmly: "If you have great achievements in the future, you can still improve it."
"If Xuanjiawei behaves well."
Shen Yi touched his chin and said: "In the future, we can consider that the winners of military competitions will be selected into the Xuanjia Guard."
When Zhong Ming heard this, he was overjoyed. He knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed: "General, thank you very much, Mr. Shen!"
Mr. Shen stood up, helped him up, and said, "All of this requires Xuan Jiawei to make a few achievements that have been seen before."
"Otherwise, the other Qianhu Camps will definitely be dissatisfied with you."
"The training of Xuanjia Guards is more rigorous than that of ordinary Qianhu Camp."
Zhong Ming lowered his head and said seriously: "I will finally understand!"
"The final general must take care of the Xuanjia Guard!"
Mr. Shen patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Well done, this is also a future. Please pay more attention."
Having said this, Shen Yi turned around and walked behind his desk, took out a piece of armor from the cabinet, and handed it to Zhong Ming: "Seeing how fierce you are in charging into battle and how dangerous the situation is, I give you this armor."
"This is the armor I wore when I was in Huai'an, but I don't need it now. After you take it, have it blackened and wear it to protect your life."
When Shen Yi left Jiankang this time, Li Mu, the prince of Jin Dynasty, gave him a set of armor and a sword, so the previous armor was useless.
Zhong Ming took the armor and knelt on the ground. He was so moved that he couldn't help but kowtow to Shen Yi.
After Shen Yi sent him out of the study, the young man strode away full of ambition and energy.
Mr. Shen stood at the door of the study, watching his peer leave. After Zhong Ming left, he silently turned around and returned to the study to handle business.
There was a lot of work piled up, and Shen Yi worked on it until the afternoon, and had a simple lunch in the study.
After Shen Yi finished the paperwork, Jiang Sheng's voice sounded at the door: "Master, Kong Shangde is here."
Mr. Shen stretched out and said lazily: "Let him come in."
Soon, the door was pushed open, and Kong Shangde, dressed in a tall Confucian robe, walked in with square steps.
After seeing Shen Yi, he looked at Shen Yi up and down, and wanted to say something stronger, but after seeing Shen Yi's expressionless face, Kong Shangde took a deep breath, raised his hands and saluted: "Kong Shangde from Qufu, I have met Mr. Shen. "
Shen Yi sat on the chair without moving, looked at the direct descendant of the saint family, and said lightly: "Is Mr. Kong the head of the Kong family?"
Kong Shangde shook his head and said, "My brother is in charge of the Kong family."
Shen Yi was a little confused: "Why did Mr. Kong come to see me?"
"Are you in charge of this matter concerning the Kong family in Qufu?"
Kong Shangde was stunned by Shen Yi's question, and then he felt a little angry. He said: "Senior Minister Shen, Kong is in the Kong family, so he can speak to you no matter what..."
"Well."
Mr. Shen touched his palms and clapped his hands: "Please ask the Kong family to immediately draft the proclamation for the Northern Expedition on my behalf, Emperor Chen, and spread it throughout the world."
"Then, I will take the Kong family south to meet Emperor Chen."
When Kong Shangde heard this, he stood there and looked at Shen Yi with wide eyes, speechless for a long time.
"Why, Mr. Kong can't make the decision?"
Master Shen curled his lips.
"Then wait until I capture Yanzhou and find your brother, then I will consider how to shoot..."
