Chapter 1163 A person who is not jealous is a mediocre person
At this time, the Zuo Route Army was stationed in Linqu.
It is only about a hundred miles away from Yidu, the capital of Qingzhou. It is basically on the edge of Qingzhou City and can launch an attack on Qingzhou City at any time.
In other words, in almost two months, the Left Army advanced through most of Qingzhou Prefecture!
Su Ding invited Shen Yi into the Chinese army's tent, then took out a map, pointed at each location on the map, and reported to Shen Yi the battle situation in Qingzhou.
"Mr. Shen, General Ling just exchanged information with General Ling a few days ago."
"Almost a month ago, General Ling's troops arrived at the gates of Liaocheng. When they were about to attack Liaocheng, the Qi people began to increase their troops in Dongchang Prefecture and forced General Ling back."
"By now, General Ling has been forced to the south of Dongchang Mansion."
"At about this time, the defenders of Qingzhou began to retreat. Finally, the pressure here was suddenly reduced, and they were able to move all the way north."
In fact, Shen Yi has always known the general situation of the war. After all, the Di Reporting Department has a steady stream of information sent to him.
However, listening to the general speaking on the spot will definitely be more detailed than the few words on the paper. With two people listening to each other, it took almost half an hour for the military report to be over.
Mr. Shen looked at the map, touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "So, the Qi people transferred the Qingzhou soldiers to Dongchang Mansion?"
"maybe."
Su Ding replied: "General, I have seriously considered it. The situation you mentioned, Mr. Shen, is possible, but even in this situation, their Qingzhou troops should shrink, and then the Jinan Prefecture's troops will be mobilized to Dongchang Prefecture."
"There is another possibility."
Su Ding said softly: "Qi people used deception and deployed their troops in Qingzhou City, waiting for us to attack Qingzhou City, and then bite us hard."
Su remained calm and gave Shen Yi a series of detailed analysis of the war. Then he sat down again and looked at Shen Yi.
"Mr. Shen, the general's current thinking is that there is no rush in the war here in Qingzhou. We can slowly test it out for a month or two, and then consider taking down Qingzhou City and the entire Qingzhou Prefecture."
Shen Yi touched his chin, looked at him, and said softly: "It is estimated that in another ten days and a half, Xue Wei will be able to capture Dengzhou Prefecture."
"Here in Qingzhou, if we delay it for another two months, it will be after July."
Shen Yi pointed at Jinan Prefecture with his finger and frowned slightly: "Leaving Dongchang Prefecture aside, in the remaining four or five months, can we capture Jinan Prefecture?"
Su Ding thought for a while and then replied: "In the next few days, we will begin to launch a tentative attack on Qingzhou City."
Mr. Shen rubbed his temples and did not speak immediately.
After a while, he slowly said: "Xue Wei, I have said hello. There should be ten thousand-household battalions in the near future, organized from the Pioneer Army into the Left Route Army and the Right Route Army."
"By the end of the year, there will be more troops to join you and Ling Su."
Su Ding was a little surprised and asked: "Mr. Shen, is this the reorganized Qianhu Camp, or are it just new recruits?"
"Most of those who have been reorganized are soldiers from the vanguard army."
"Laizhou and Dengzhou are basically finished. Their place is a peninsula and Qi people can't get in. Therefore, we don't need to leave too many troops to garrison. We can deploy all the troops that have been added in the past few months."
Having said this, Mr. Shen paused and continued: "Furthermore, the vacant crossbows and firearms over there can also be sent out one after another for your temporary use."
Su Ding nodded and wrote it down.
He and Shen Yi discussed together for nearly an hour, and this military meeting with only two people came to an end.
General Su breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Shen Yi, who was also a little tired, and asked: "Mr. Shen, do you want to stay in Qingzhou and command the left army in combat?"
Shen Yi shook his head: "I will rest here for a day or two and then leave."
He smiled and said: "Among the three armies of the Huai'an Army, the one I feel most at ease with is General Su. Xue Wei may still need my attention, but I don't need to worry about General Su."
"I want to go back to Yanzhou first, and then..."
Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly: "Then go to General Ling's place and have a look."
Su Ding was thoughtful and said: "Mr. Shen, I think that the war in Dongchang Mansion is not going well because the Qi people have used heavy troops, and it has nothing to do with General Ling..."
"Don't anger General Ling..."
"Just going to take a look."
Shen Yi smiled hoarsely: "What? In General Su's heart, am I such an unreasonable person?"
Su Ding stood up in a hurry, not even daring to say anything.
"I'm just worried that there will be a misunderstanding between Duke Shen and General Ling..."
Shen Yi glanced at him, then smiled and said: "I remember that when General Su first arrived at the Huai'an Army, he didn't seem to have a good deal with the people on Ling Su's side, and they didn't show you any less. Why now are you defending them? Woke up?"
"Public is public, private is private."
Su Ding lowered his head and said: "Put yourself in his shoes. If General Mo led the Right Army to attack Dongchang Mansion, it would probably be like this. When General Ling should retreat, he retreated in time, which has reduced the casualties of the Right Army."
"rest assured."
Mr. Shen patted Su Ding on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I know he played well in Dongchang Mansion."
"This year, all three armies played very well."
Shen Yi raised his head and looked at the sky outside, his voice calm.
"I know everything in my heart."
Having said this, he looked at Su Ding and said: "General Su, I also understand in my heart that if we can fight steadily here in Qingzhou Mansion, it is the best choice, but we don't have much time."
"If we fail to capture Shandong this year and delay it until next year, there will be great pressure from all aspects."
"So, sometimes you have to take a risk."
"I hope you understand."
Su Ding bowed his head deeply, clasped his fists and said, "I will support whatever decision Mr. Shen makes!"
"Within one month, the Left Route Army will definitely capture Qingzhou City, and within two months, they will capture Qingzhou Mansion!"
Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "I have no intention of asking you to issue a military order. Our Huai'an Army does not have such a so-called military order."
"On the battlefield, the most important thing is to be adaptable to changes. Don't let the target of death interfere with the general's judgment."
"The Qingzhou battlefield is still left to you. I have only one request."
Shen Yi's voice was calm: "We must capture Qingzhou as quickly as possible with as few casualties as possible."
Su Ding lowered his head.
"General, I understand..."
…………
A few days later, Yanzhou magistrate's office.
Shen Yi just rode back to Yanzhou.
Ye Chan had already gone back to rest, and he himself arrived at the prefect's Yamen and met Zhang Jian.
Zhang Fuzun set up a banquet for Mr. Shen. The two brothers sat across the table and clinked their wine glasses in a tacit understanding.
Shen Yi put down his wine glass and said softly: "Brother, now Laizhou and Dengzhou have been liberated, but there is no one to take care of the government affairs in both places. The local government needs someone to take over as soon as possible."
"Things that are available in Yanzhou and Xuzhou must be laid over as soon as possible."
Zhang Jian stretched out his hand to pour wine for Shen Yi and said with a wry smile: "Zi Heng, I don't have anyone here anymore."
"The officials sent by the imperial court to fill the vacancies in Xuzhou and Yanzhou are still a little reluctant. In a short while, where can I find officials from the two prefectures for you?"
"Instead of two mansions, there will soon be three mansions."
"Qingzhou Prefecture is also about to be recovered."
Having said this, Shen Yi raised his head and took a sip of wine, and continued: "If we can't find suitable officials, we will send the county magistrates from each county to the county government office. After they go, I will give each of them a hundred-household camp. How? It can also stabilize the local situation."
Zhang Jian blinked: "Does this require the consent of the court?"
"That's too late."
Mr. Shen said softly: "I will issue an official document in the name of the governor's office and let them take my official document to take office."
"We must stabilize these recovered areas as quickly as possible, and then start allocating land in these places in the name of the government."
"After we create a household and divide the land, we are completely stabilized."
Mr. Shen said slowly: "Even if the Qi people want to take it back in the future, these local people will not be willing."
Since the division of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, the results have been excellent. Up to now, the King of Chen has established a certain reputation among the Han people in the north.
Therefore, Mr. Shen is already very enthusiastic about land distribution and wants to start allocating land to Han people in Laizhou, Dengzhou, and Qingzhou in the future as soon as possible.
Zhang Jian touched his chin: "Does this work?"
"Why doesn't it work?"
Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "The governor's office appoints the county magistrate to act as county magistrate. This is a common thing in all provinces. Why is it not the case in Shandong?"
Zhang Jian scratched his head and said helplessly: "After the county magistrate is vacant, the county magistrate is asked to act as the magistrate of the county. How can the county magistrate of one county be asked to act as the magistrate of another county?"
"They are all agents, there is no difference."
Shen Yi toasted Zhang Jian and said with a smile: "I will stay in the governor's office these days to handle these matters."
"Then I have to leave again. I will have to trouble my senior brother for the specific operations."
Zhang Jian rolled his eyes at Shen Yi: "You, the governor, are wandering around, and you let me, the prefect, do the work of a province!"
Shen Yi picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "If we conquer Shandong this year, your Majesty will not mention it next year. I will also recommend my senior brother to be the governor of Shandong."
Zhang Jian thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "I still don't want it anymore."
"In the eyes of others, you and I are both from Ganquan Academy. You are different from ordinary people, so that's fine. I climbed too fast at night and will be jealous of others."
"It is a mediocre person who is not jealous of others."
Mr. Shen said with a smile: "With my senior brother's talents, even if he is not promoted to the position of chief envoy, he will still be hated by those villains."
Zhang Fuzun curled his lips and raised his wine glass.
"The words are nice, but coming from your mouth, Shen Ziheng, these words are particularly harsh."
Shen Yi also raised his glass, the two of them clinked it and drank it down in one gulp.
Mr. Shen put down his wine glass, poured the wine, and spoke calmly.
"Just like me, countless people in the court look at me with jealousy, but I am still alive and well?"
