Now that the Battle of Yanzhou has begun, the situation has become very clear.
Now, Xue Wei is in Surabaya and has made contact with the Qi people's reinforcements.
On the west side, Ling Su also accurately blocked the reinforcements from Dongping Prefecture.
As long as the battle on the east and west sides goes smoothly, the stalemate here in Yanzhou is acceptable.
There is no need for Su Ding to overwhelm Yanzhou, as long as he stands firm and allows Yanzhou to defend the city, there is no city defense to speak of. Then the timeline will be extended, and the advantage will be on Shen Yi's side.
Su Ding nodded deeply, cupped his fists and said, "General, I understand!"
"The last general will be the host, and the next round of rotation will take place."
Now, there are almost more than 10,000 Huai'an troops in Yanzhou City. These more than 10,000 people are in high-intensity battles and cannot hold on all the time. Therefore, the Huai'an Army basically completes one task every four hours. Rotate, replace the soldiers on the front line, and let those who have rested come back to the top.
Shen Yi waved his hand: "You can just go and see if anything happens."
"I will ask Jiang Sheng to find you."
Su Ding lowered his head, turned around and left the Chinese army tent.
Shen Yi, on the other hand, stayed in the Chinese army's main account, summarizing and processing all kinds of news from all aspects.
Almost an hour later, Jiang Sheng walked silently to Shen Yi, lowered his head cautiously and said, "Master, General Zhong Mingzhong has withdrawn from the front line."
Shen Yi stopped his writing brush, looked at Jiang Sheng, and waited for the next step.
He knew that if Zhong Ming just retreated, it would not be enough for Jiang Sheng to come and report to him like this.
After Jiang Sheng paused, he continued: "Seriously injured."
Mr. Shen frowned, put down the brush in his hand, stood up and said, "Take me over and have a look."
If an army wants to become strong, it needs a steady stream of new forces. Although Ling Su and Xue Wei are still very young, it has to be said that Ling Su and Xue Wei have a lot of "first-mover advantages" ”.
That is to say, their current position is not entirely due to their ability, but more to their early relationship with Shen Yi.
Looking at it this way, rising stars like Zhong Ming basically rely on their own abilities.
Therefore, Shen Yi values these people very highly.
Under the leadership of Jiang Sheng, he came all the way to the wounded barracks.
At this time, the wounded barracks were full of people lying down. Most of them had no beds and could only spread out beddings and lie on the ground.
He was seriously injured and occasionally groaned.
Those with minor injuries, just fractures and other injuries that were not life-threatening, would gather together in twos and threes, occasionally discussing military meals and joking.
Shen Yi walked all the way to Zhong Ming. This tall, fierce general had taken off his armor and was tightly wrapped in white cloth. He was lying on a low bed, looking at the sky with his eyes, wondering what he was thinking. What.
It is worth mentioning that the white cloths used by the entire Huai'an Army to bandage are all sterilized with spirits, including cleaning wounds, which are also cleaned with spirits. Although this method is not a method of killing human flesh and bones. It's a miracle medicine, but it still helps the survival rate of wounded soldiers.
Shen Yi first found the doctor accompanying the army and asked about Zhong Ming's situation, then squatted next to him and sighed: "Big man, are you still conscious?"
Zhong Ming turned his head suddenly and saw Shen Yi right in front of him. He was a little excited and said quickly: "Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen..."
"The general will be out of the way."
"I just heard what the doctor said."
Shen Yi frowned: "The doctor said that most of the reasons for your injuries are because the armor does not fit properly. The armor is too small and has gaps in many places."
Mr. Shen sat down on the ground and said helplessly: "I gave you that armor, but if it doesn't fit, just put it on, or let the craftsmen in the army change it. How can it be forced on you?" , just go to the battlefield?"
The armor on Zhong Ming was worn by Shen Yi when he was in the southeast. The armor was very sophisticated, but the bad thing was that the two men had different figures. Although Shen Yi was not thin, he was not very strong, and he was taller than Zhong Ming. Ming is much shorter and taller.
Although the armor can be divided into parts and put on, if worn this way, there will inevitably be gaps between the parts.
Zhong Ming suffered many stab wounds and arrow wounds, mostly due to this reason.
The big man's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and said, "I put it on, and it seems to fit me well..."
Shen Yi patted his shoulder and sighed: "Take good care of your injuries. You will not participate in the battle of Yanzhou. In the future, I will have to rely on you to conquer the city first."
Zhong Ming blinked and said: "Mr. Shen, the last general is injured, but the Xuanjia Guards are not injured. There is a man named Wei Qing in the Xuanjia Guards who is not inferior to the last general. He can be allowed to temporarily lead the Xuanjia Guards." Jiawei."
Shen Yi nodded and accepted this opinion. Just as he was about to say something, Jiang Sheng suddenly stood up and walked outside the camp. After a while, he went back again and came to Shen Yi. He lowered his head and said: "Master, General Pei coming…"
Hearing this, Shen Yi perked up and immediately replied: "Please wait for me at the Chinese army tent, General Pei. I will go later."
Jiang Sheng nodded, got up and went to entertain the guests.
Shen Yi also stood up and looked at the wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks. He sighed in his heart, but with a smile on his face: "Brothers, can you still chew the meat?"
In the past, most of the Huai'an Army was led by Shen Yi, and they were all familiar with Shen Yi. However, more than half of the current Huai'an Army were recruited.
In the past, most of the Huai'an Army was led by Shen Yi, and they were all familiar with Shen Yi. However, more than half of the current Huai'an Army were recruited.
Not as enthusiastic as before.
However, many people still recognized Shen Yi and started to boo.
"It can be chewed! It can be chewed!"
Shen Yi smiled and said, "Wait a minute. Tonight, I will get some pigs, cattle and sheep to beat the teeth of my brothers."
As soon as these words came out, the wounded barracks immediately cheered, as if the previous dejection had been swept away.
Shen Yi, on the other hand, visited some soldiers in the wounded barracks and stayed for an extra stick of incense before leaving the wounded barracks and returned to his Chinese army tent.
In the Chinese army's tent, a tall, middle-aged man in cloth clothes had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Shen Yi walking in, he quickly stood up, clasped his fists and saluted: "I've seen Mr. Shen."
Shen Yi returned the salute: "General Pei, you're welcome."
Mr. Shen looked ashamed, lowered his head and said: "I was in the wounded barracks just now to visit my injured subordinate. I won't be able to come out for a while, so General Pei has been kept waiting for a long time."
The General Pei in front of me was Pei Jun, one of the original commanders of the five military camps. He was later appointed by Emperor Hongde as the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army of the Northern Expedition. Together with Shen Yi's Eastern Route Army, they formed a force of 200,000 people. The Northern Expeditionary Army!
This scale is already a serious national war.
Although Pei Jun is extremely polite to Shen Yi, Mr. Shen cannot rely on his status as a civil servant to put on airs.
After all, the Northern Expedition was unlikely to be accomplished by the Huai'an Army alone. Only the two armies must work together to have a chance to restore the old rivers and mountains.
As for Pei Jun's West Route Army, although it was previously agreed that it would obey Shen Yi's "coordination" to a certain extent, coordination is coordination, not moderation.
In other words, Shen Yi can't move Pei Jun.
Since we can't adjust, we naturally have to remain polite. Only when everyone is harmonious can we make meritorious deeds.
"Shilang Shen is too polite."
Pei Jun said sternly: "The morale of the army is often reflected in the wounded barracks. Although Minister Shen is a civil servant, he has already mastered the three tastes in the military."
Shen Yi smiled dumbly.
"General Pei is so complimentary. Until now, Shen in the East Route Army has been mainly responsible for some logistical matters, and the people below are doing the fighting."
"I'm afraid I haven't gotten into the so-called military art yet."
Pei Jun said seriously: "This shows that Minister Shen is a handsome man."
"A handsome man only needs to make good use of his generals, and there is no need to lead the troops himself."
A few words of flattery made Shen Yi feel a little confused, but he quickly came to his senses and asked with a smile: "General Pei is here at this time. I believe the Western Route Army is already well prepared."
"yes."
Pei Jun nodded and said in a deep voice: "As of now, although the West Route Army is not as integrated as the East Route Army under Shen Shilang, it has barely formed an army and can start the Northern Expedition."
"At least, we can start to do something, so that Minister Shen won't be left alone to support himself."
Shen Yi sighed and said, "To be honest, I have been waiting for General Pei for a long time."
"My fight here in Shandong is lively. The Northern Qi court cannot sit idly by and ignore it. Reinforcements are already on the way. If not, I won't fight in Yanzhou in such a hurry."
"Now that General Pei's Western Route Army can take action, it will indeed be a lot easier for me here."
Pei Jun smiled and asked: "How does Mr. Shen think the West Route Army should fight?"
When Shen Yi heard this, he was a little surprised: "General Pei is the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army. How can I say this?"
"General Pei will first tell you your Western Route Army's ideas, and then we will sit down together to discuss and come up with a suitable solution."
After thinking for a while, Pei Jun nodded and said: "According to the previous strategy in Jiankang, Minister Shen will take Shandong and Pei will take Henan."
"The big cities in Henan are only in the second city of Kaifeng and Luoyang."
"Pei is ready to go straight to Kaifeng."
He looked at Shen Yi and said in a deep voice: "In this way, we can immediately relieve the pressure on Minister Shen."
Shen Yi thought about it carefully and then slowly shook his head.
"General Pei, can you consider taking the small town first to hone in the West Route Army?"
