After drinking and eating, Shen Yi stayed in the vanguard army commander's tent.
Pei Jun stayed in the Pioneer Army camp for more than half an hour before saying goodbye and leaving. Shen Yi was also very polite and walked him all the way to the gate of the military camp. After watching Pei Jun mount his horse, he turned around and left.
Xue Wei followed him honestly.
Mr. Shen put his hands behind his back and didn't look back.
"Do you know what Pei Jun meant when he asked you to go to Luoyang?"
The Huai'an Army has a very good habit of reporting to Shen Yi if anything happens.
The conversation between Xue Wei and Pei Jun took place two days before Shen Yi arrived in Kaifeng. During this process, Shen Yi naturally knew in advance what Pei Jun was talking to Xue Wei.
Xue Wei said honestly: "I didn't really care before, but I figured it out later."
He grinned and said: "It's just that I want to compete for the credit for breaking Kaifeng City."
"But no matter how General Pei fights, he can only take the credit for the city's destruction. He cannot take away the credit for our vanguard army's opening of the Feng Mansion."
"In the past two days, the general has also thought about this matter carefully."
Xue Wei followed Shen Yi, talking as he walked.
"The Pioneer Army defeated two governments last year and showed its face when it defeated Jinan City. Moreover, the generals have been promoted too fast. It doesn't matter if they have more credit and less credit."
"From the general's point of view, it is more important to march into Luoyang as soon as possible, put more pressure on the Yan Duqi people, and help Mr. Shen gain some overall advantages."
"As for what General Pei is thinking, it is..."
Xue Da scratched his head, thought for a long time, and finally choked out four words.
"Rope camp dog dog."
Shen Yi stopped suddenly, turned around and looked directly at Xue Wei, and said nothing for a long time.
Xue Wei was a little confused and asked: "Mr. Shen, what's wrong?"
"What did you say?"
Mr. Shen reminded: "The last four words."
"Rope... rope camp dog dog?"
Xue Da was a little unsure.
Mr. Shen stared at Xue Wei for a long time. Seeing that he seemed to be getting more and more guilty, he couldn't bear it anymore and laughed.
"That's all, the rope camp is just the rope camp."
"You, you, you don't have your two concubines with you."
Shen Yi touched his nose and said helplessly: "The cultural level has plummeted."
"Fortunately..."
Mr. Shen walked in front with his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "Fortunately, the layout has improved a bit."
Xue Wei was praised by Mr. Shen and became happy again.
Shen Yi continued: "But there is one thing you are thinking about."
"You, Mr. Xue, are now in a high and powerful position. Even at a young age, you are in charge of all the commanders. General Zhaoyong of the third rank. It may not be of much use to you to take credit, but what about the generals and soldiers under your command?"
"They have been following you and fighting here in Kaifeng Mansion for so long. Seeing that the provincial capital is about to be destroyed, but you want to lead them to attack Luoyang, what should the people below think?"
"You are no longer the same person you used to be."
Mr. Shen turned back and glanced at him: "You have tens of thousands of people under your command now. You, Xue Da, are full, but the people below still need to eat."
After saying this, Shen Yi continued: "If I think like you do, if I don't let you fight for it, where will your General Zhaoyong come from?"
Xue Wei's face turned red, his head lowered and he stopped talking.
Shen Yi taught: "So, fight for what needs to be fought, and grab for what needs to be fought. Whether it is on the battlefield or in officialdom, don't imitate other people's demeanor."
"Otherwise, one day in the future, if I don't take you with me, you will suffer a big loss."
Xue Wei was stunned and became a little anxious: "Mr. Shen..."
Master Shen looked calm.
"Don't be surprised. I'm going to teach you something, so just listen carefully."
Xue Wei then lowered his head.
"You will eventually understand."
…………
Perhaps because of the arrival of the leader Shen Yi, General Pei was very efficient. On the second day after Shen Yi arrived in Kaifeng, he left 20,000 soldiers of the West Route Army to assist Xue Wei in the siege. And he himself, after bidding farewell to Shen Yi, He led the people all the way west to Luoyang Mansion.
Shen Yi also saw him off politely, treating Pei Jun completely as a colleague of the same level and not putting on any airs with Pei Jun.
After Pei Jun left, Kaifeng City became the main battlefield of the Huai'an Army.
That morning, Mr. Shen personally visited Kaifeng City and waved to Jiang Sheng.
In the vanguard army, the Xue-shaped flag slowly fell down, and a heavy-shaped flag was erected high, fluttering in the wind, and making a hunting sound when it was blown.
Nearly a hundred soldiers marched out to the front of Kaifeng City and shouted in unison.
"The Governor of Dachen Shandong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the right deputy imperial censor Shen Yi and Shen Houye came to the battlefield in person!"
"Most of the puppet troops in the city live in the hot summer, and they are at war with the same people. How can I bear it..."
After a righteous paragraph, the document drafted by Shen himself finally reached the most critical end.
"You and others, within three days, surrender the city. Once the city gate is opened, everything is over and bygones are bygones!"
"Both the soldiers and civilians in the city will be the citizens of Dachen and the descendants of the Xia from now on!"
"If the city gate is not opened within three days, it will be regarded as a Hu Qi bandit army. After the city is broken..."
"Both Hu and Han are guilty!"
This document drafted by Shen Yi himself was loudly announced by a group of messengers standing at the gate of Kaifeng City.
General Xue stood at the city gate, looked at the messengers, then at Shen Yi, scratched his head: "Mr. Shen, will the people in the city surrender?"
Shen Yi smiled: "Definitely not now."
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly: "At this moment, in the provincial capital of Kaifeng, the person in charge in the city must be Zhenren Zhu Li. He will never surrender."
"What we say can only be heard by the soldiers at the city gate, but not by the people."
Xue Wei was a little confused: "Then you sent these people to shout here to disrupt their military morale?"
Master Shen looked calm.
"There are some considerations, but not all..."
"Let's wait until evening and take a look."
…………
It was night, under Kaifeng City, hundreds of paper lamps slowly took off under Xue Wei's disbelieving eyes.
Hundreds of lights, like stars rising slowly into the sky, flew to the sky above Kaifeng City with the help of the wind direction.
Xue Da swallowed his saliva and murmured: "Mr. Shen, are you a god?"
Mr. Shen rolled his eyes at him.
"This is called Kongming Lantern."
Xue Wei was still stunned: "Mr. Shen, Kong Ming...were they the names you chose?"
Shen Yi was startled and fell silent.
Yes, there is no Kong Ming in this world.
He didn't speak for a long time. He looked up at the lights flying to the sky and said softly: "Just think of it as the name I gave you."
In fact, this kind of sky lantern should also exist in this world, but there are too few ways to spread information in this world, so Xue Wei has never seen it.
Taking advantage of the large number of troops, Shen Yi put up hundreds of Kongming lanterns in one afternoon. Under these lanterns, documents persuading surrender written by Shen Yi were hung.
Coupled with measuring the wind direction and controlling the size of the candles, most of them will fall into Kaifeng City.
Even if not one out of ten is saved, dozens of documents will fall into Kaifeng City.
Xue Wei looked at these sky lanterns with wide eyes and asked: "Mr. Shen, will these things be useful if they enter Kaifeng City?"
Mr. Shen looked up at the sky and chuckled: "In the past, even if all these things fell into Kaifeng City, they would not have any effect, but now, Shandong has been recovered."
"The Huai'an army is only four hundred miles away from Yandu."
"This information cannot be airtight and will definitely fall into Kaifeng City."
"With this information, our surrender documents will most likely be useful."
Having said this, Shen Yi looked calm.
"After three days, if they open the city and surrender, that would be the best. If they don't surrender, then attack the city on time..."
"Take advantage of the situation again and beat them."
