Zhang Meng, deputy general of the Huai'an Army's Right Army.
He is a senior general second only to Ling Su and the other three, and a senior general in the second echelon of the Huai'an Army. He is also an old man who followed Shen Yi in the early days of the anti-Japanese war.
Now, Zhang Meng had multiple stab wounds on his body, especially on his left arm. He blocked the enemy's knife with his left arm. If it weren't for the armor on his left hand, his entire arm would have been gone.
At this time, Shen Yi had only been in the Right Army for one day.
Ling Su's face was extremely ugly.
Comparatively speaking, Zhang Meng, who was born in Linhaiwei, has been with him for a longer time. He was already the general banner of Linhaiwei during the Linhaiwei period. From the ninth year of Hongde to the present, it has been almost seven or eight years. Zhang Meng has been following him. Work under him.
The relationship between the two is closer than that of ordinary brothers.
Moreover, Zhang Meng has always been his right-hand man, especially after Liu Mingyuan left the Right Route Army, he and Zhang Meng discussed most matters of the Right Route Army.
Now that Zhang Meng was injured like this, Ling Su was shocked and angry.
Shen Yi looked back at Ling Su with a solemn expression.
"Elaborate."
Ling Su suppressed the anger in his heart and gritted his teeth and said: "The scout camp has a hundred households. We took people out to investigate the news. When we reported, we found a camp with more than 10,000 people in Qi people. There were at least eight thousand-household camps stationed there, which are about 100 kilometers away from us." The camp is only sixty miles away."
"With so many people, it is natural to go over and confirm the situation. However, Mr. Shen is coming over that day, so the general will stay in the camp and send Zhang Meng to check the situation."
"Subsequently, he was led into an ambush by the Qi people. Zhang Meng only brought one or two hundred people with him at that time. The entire Qianhu Camp of Northern Qi was besieging him. It was extremely difficult to escape."
Having said this, Ling Su clenched his fists and said angrily: "Originally, General Mo should have gone there himself!"
When Shen Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Although Zhang Meng is the deputy general of the Right Army, he is not the backbone after all. Now that he is injured, Ling Su is still there, and the Right Army can continue to operate. If something happens to Ling Su, or he is injured like this, the Right Army The army may be paralyzed immediately.
At the very least, Shen Yi will be held back on the right flank unable to move.
He closed his eyes, thought seriously for a while, and then whispered: "Have you caught those hundred households?"
"No."
Ling Su shook his head and said: "The man fled immediately, but the scouts in the Hundred House Camp under his command have all been controlled and are waiting to be dealt with."
Mr. Shen said expressionlessly: "Check carefully and deal with those who have colluded with him seriously. But if you really have nothing to do with him, don't be unjust."
"besides…"
Shen Yi continued: "Regardless of whether there are any problems with the members of this Hundred Household Camp, they are no longer allowed to engage in intelligence errands in the future, and they are transferred to the combat establishment."
Ling Su lowered his head: "I will finally understand."
Zhang Meng was lying on the bed, his eyes were a little red, he couldn't move, and his voice was very weak: "Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen..."
Shen Yi then looked at Zhang Meng, who was lying on the bed and could hardly speak, and said softly: "General Zhang, you can rest in peace and recuperate."
"We will do the rest for you and wait until you recover from your injuries before returning to the army."
Zhang Meng nodded hard, looked at Ling Su again, and said, "General Ling, the last general..."
Ling Su squatted down beside Zhang Meng's bed, his eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face.
"Brother, I hurt you."
Shen Yi stood aside and couldn't help but be moved by it.
He has known Ling Su for seven or eight years.
In seven or eight years, except when Linhaiwei was defeated, Ling Su's mood collapsed. After that, especially after the Anti-Japanese Army and later the Huai'an Army were formed, Shen Yi rarely saw Ling Su lose his temper.
If he remembered correctly, this was the first time he saw Ling Su shed tears.
Ling Su felt very sad at the moment.
In addition to Zhang Meng's injury, he was also worried about Zhang Meng's future.
Now, in Ling Su's view, the situation of the Northern Expedition is stable and improving, and he trusts Shen Yi very much and believes that under Shen Yi's leadership, the Northern Expedition will eventually succeed.
And if Zhang Meng was injured like this, he would have to rest for at least a year and a half, or he might even be disabled. In his future resume, his Northern Expedition experience would come to an abrupt end.
Zhang Meng forced a smile.
"General, if I can't die..."
"In a few months, you will be able to rejoin the general's command."
Zhang Meng is in great danger now.
The injuries on his body were minor, but the most important thing was the excessive blood loss.
In addition, the wound may become infected at any time, so his life is not out of danger now.
In fact, he was having a fever right now.
Whether he can escape from danger mainly depends on his own body and whether he can bear it.
This is the limitation of the times. Shen Yi may have a way to disinfect him, but it is impossible to create a set of things out of thin air to give him a blood transfusion.
Watching the two people talking, Shen Yi silently walked out of the wounded barracks, walked outside the camp with his hands behind his back, and silently looked up at the sky in trance.
After a while, Ling Su came out, stood behind Shen Yi, lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Shen, I'm going to fight!"
"These stupid Qi people have resorted to such despicable methods. The general will personally lead his troops northward to vent his anger on General Zhang!"
Shen Yi turned around and looked at Ling Su with a calm expression: "Don't get emotional when fighting."
Ling Su took a few deep breaths, lowered his head and said, "The general has lost his composure."
"But Mr. Shen, please rest assured that your emotions will not affect your judgment on the battlefield."
Mr. Shen shook his head slightly and said, "Let's raise the flag."
Ling Su was startled.
Shen Yi continued: "Hang my Shen flag."
"I will formulate the tactical strategy for the next period of time."
He looked to the north and whispered: "The people of Qi are using whatever means they can. I really need to give them a hard blow, otherwise it will be difficult for me to let out the bad breath in my heart."
Ling Su took a deep breath, lowered his head and clasped his fists: "I will obey your orders!"
After that, he went down to arrange the matter himself.
Not long after, a Chinese flag with the word "Chen" was erected in the army, and the huge flag fluttered in the wind.
In this era, this is to tell Qi people clearly that he, Shen, is already here.
After the Shen flag was hoisted, Shen Yi found Ling Su, and the two hung up a map in the military tent. Shen Yi looked at the map for a long time, and finally pointed to Guangping City on the map and said, "Let's go straight north to Guangping."
Guangping Prefecture is located between Daming Prefecture and Zhending Prefecture. It is a not very big prefecture.
Guangping Fucheng was once captured by Ling Su, but because of the recent fierce counterattack by the Qi people, they had withdrawn from Guangping Fucheng and came to Cheng'an County, south of Guangping Fucheng.
Looking at the direction of Shen Yi's finger, Ling Su only hesitated for a moment, then immediately lowered his head and clasped his fists.
"I will obey my orders!"
"General, go down and make arrangements now!"
At this time, although Shen Yi and others were safe and sound in the military camp at the rear, in fact, the fighting on the front line was continuing.
The soldiers of the Right Army fought fiercely with the Northern Qi army between Cheng'an and Guangping.
The two sides went back and forth, and sometimes they would fight fiercely because of the same position.
In the mountains and fields, corpses can be seen almost everywhere. The clothes on some corpses have been chopped to pieces and soaked with blood. It is unclear whether they are the Huai'an army or the Northern Qi army.
When the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, a Shen-shaped flag slowly floated in the Huai'an Army's position, replacing the original Ling-shaped flag.
The sharp-eyed Qi Ren scouts quickly discovered this big flag and quickly reported it to Qian Hu, who was commanding his troops.
This thousand households were Zhenren Zhu Li. He went to the battlefield in person and took a look at the big flag. When he saw the huge "Chen" character, his eyelids jumped.
"The old and cunning Thief Shen has arrived in person..."
The Qianhu exhaled slowly, turned around and ordered the Hundreds around him, and whispered: "Shen Thief has many tricks up his sleeve, so let the brothers step back."
"Report to General Xiao and tell us to apply for retreat and rest!"
These hundred households were sensible and bowed their heads quickly.
"I'll go to my humble position right now!"
…
The news quickly spread throughout the army, so the Qi army in the northern suburbs of Cheng'an County fled after hearing the news.
At the same time, Du Yong, who was in charge of the northern internal defense, also received a warrant from Shen Yi.
The content of the warrant is simple.
He took the opportunity to assassinate the Northern Qi general.
Regardless of rank.
Du Yong put away the warrant, stuffed it into his arms, and couldn't help but whisper.
