Anyone who has been angered by such a serious yin and yang will feel a little angry in his heart.
But it was useless to be angry. Mr. Shen quickly calmed down. He looked at Zhao Lu quietly and said, "General Zhao, are you so sure that I can't defend Huai'an?"
Zhao Lu was stunned for a moment, then smiled dumbly.
Immediately afterwards, he seemed to have heard something funny and laughed several times in a row, and then looked back at Shen Yi.
"It seems that Brother Shen didn't understand what I just said."
"I just said that Northern Qi will definitely attack Huai'an."
Zhao Lu looked calm and said slowly: "The purpose of storming Huai'an is that even if our Huaihe Navy defends here, we will need to urgently dispatch reinforcements to be able to hold it."
He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Brother Shen, where are your reinforcements?"
General Zhao pointed at his nose and the smile on his face faded: "You can't expect me, the Huaihe Navy, to be your reinforcements?"
These words made Shen Yi feel a little depressed.
Because they belong to Da Chen's army, logically speaking, if Huai'an is in emergency, the Huaihe Navy must come to rescue him. However, it is obvious that General Zhao has no intention of coming to rescue Shen Yi.
Because compared to his family, country, country, and the life and death of the people of Huai'an Prefecture, of course, his Zhao family's status and Zhao family's future are more important.
If Shen Yi cannot defend Huai'an, or even loses Huai'an soon, it means that the Huaihe Navy's position in the court is irreplaceable.
His position as the Zhao Clan is also irreplaceable.
At that time, the Zhao clan was truly "in solidarity with the country" and prospered for generations!
As long as Chen Guo is around, the Zhao family cannot fall or be defeated.
Seeing that Shen Yi was silent, Zhao Lu stood by the window, pointed at the scenery outside the window, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, come and see."
"This building is called Wanghuai Building. Although you can't see the Huaihe River, you can see almost the entire Huai'an City."
"Come and take a look."
General Zhao looked warm and seemed to be talking to a good friend, with a faint smile on his face.
"Maybe in a few days, we won't be able to see it anymore."
Shen Yi frowned.
This Anpinghou of Dachen seems to have read a lot of books, and he is really good at disgusting people.
Ordinary young people, after what he said, would have been so angry that they would have lost their minds and would have said something that was beyond their imagination.
But Shen Yi didn't.
Although he is not very old, he has actually experienced a lot over the years, and now he is able to remain calm when facing many things.
He silently walked to the window, glanced at the scenery of Huai'an below, then turned to look at Zhao Lu, who was about the same height as him, and frowned slightly: "Master Marquis invited me here, do you have anything else to say?"
"Of course there is."
Zhao Lu pointed to the chair and said calmly: "Brother Shen, don't worry, let's talk slowly."
Shen Yi sat down quietly and looked up at Zhao Lu.
He wanted to see what trouble this Anpinghou was going to cause.
After Shen Yi took his seat, Zhao Lu sat opposite Shen Yi and poured a cup of tea for Shen Yi. Then he sighed slowly and said, "To be honest, Brother Shen, I have been coming to Huai'an Mansion often since I was a child."
"My eldest father took me here when I was a teenager."
"When I got older, my father often brought me here."
"This Huai'an city has some feelings for me."
"The reason why I am here, waiting for you to come over, Brother Shen, is to hand over the defense of Huai'an Mansion to you, and also..."
"I don't want this city to be destroyed."
Shen Yi looked at Zhao Lu quietly and asked, "So?"
"So, Zhao has a way to tell it to Brother Shen."
Zhao Lu sat in his seat, took a sip of tea, and said quietly: "Huai'an's Huaihe defense will be handed over to you normally. When the Qi people attack, the Huaihe Navy will also come to the rescue normally. Brother Shen, you write to the imperial court, saying that the Northern Qi Dynasty is fierce and the Huaihe defense line needs a backbone to take charge of the overall situation, so you request that the Huaihe Navy be allowed to take over the officers and soldiers of the coastal capital."
"By the time…"
Zhao Lu looked calm and said: "When the time comes, I will give you a share of your military exploits that should be shared with Brother Shen. The military exploits that should be allocated to you, the coastal capital, will not be missing from you, even Huai'an The defense line can still be left to you to defend."
"With the Huaihe River united as one, the people of Qi will naturally have no opportunity to take advantage of it."
Seeing Shen Yi's frown, Zhao Lu continued: "I know what you are thinking, Brother Shen. I am just worried that His Majesty will blame you."
"Don't worry, I've already thought of the words for you."
"Just say..."
Zhao Lu coughed and said: "Just say that with only 20,000 lone troops and the enemy attacking with all their strength, it is impossible to defend it no matter what."
"Twenty thousand coastal divisions are not good enough, and 20,000 Huaihe naval forces are even less good."
"For the sake of your family, your country, your country, and the overall situation of the imperial court, you have to grit your teeth and unite the entire Huaihe River."
"Thus…"
He looked at Shen Yi and said: "In this way, brother Shen, although you have lost your future as a soldier, your future as an official will not be hindered. You can still return to Jiankang and be your civil servant."
Speaking of this, General Zhao said with a smile: "You are a second-class Jinshi and a Hanlin bachelor. Why do you work so hard to hang out with those dirty military households?"
Zhao Lu sat down, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "For the sake of our country and the country, for the people of Huai'an Prefecture, for the entire Huaihe River, for your own future, Brother Shen, and for the lives and future of the 20,000 soldiers in the coastal areas..."
General Zhao looked at Shen Yi quietly.
"Brother Shen, should you consider it?"
Shen Yi stood up silently and walked to the window. He glanced at Huai'an City, which was almost in full view. Then he silently turned back and looked at Zhao Lu who was sitting on the chair. He said: "Master Hou, if Shen is willing to steal People from An didn't even know how to go to the southeast, let alone come to Huai'an Prefecture." Qiu
Zhao Lu smiled dumbly.
"What does it mean to be content? What does it mean to be safe?"
He looked at Shen Yi and said quietly: "Brother Shen's remarks are suspected of slandering the past emperors."
Shen Yi took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Lu, and said: "Master Hou, you only want to stick to the family business. I can understand this. After all, you are already this age. On the one hand, you want to live up to the legacy of your ancestors, and on the other hand, you want to live up to the legacy of your ancestors." At the same time, I want to leave something for future generations."
"But not everyone in the world is like you, Mr. Hou, who only wants to maintain success."
"At least Shen is not."
"So..."
Zhao Lu walked to Shen Yi, stood side by side with Shen Yi by the window, looked out the window together, and said lightly: "So for the sake of a little ambition in the hearts of young people, Brother Shen is going to put hundreds of thousands of people in Huai'an at risk." In dire straits?"
"It's obviously doomed to fail, but just for the selfish ambition in your heart, Mr. Shen, to achieve success, you have to risk the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and 20,000 officers and soldiers along the coast?"
Having said this, Zhao Lu shook his head slightly and said, "You scholars."
"Sometimes the heart is really cruel."
"More ruthless than anyone else."
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Master Hou, there is no need to tell such lies. If Master Hou really cared about the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Huai'an, he would not use them to threaten me at this time. "
"But wait until the Qi people come to attack, lead the Huaihe Navy, and come without hesitation to provide full support!"
Shen Yi looked at Zhao Lu with sharp eyes.
"Will Lord Marquis come to rescue?"
Zhao Lu was stunned.
He stared at the scenery of Huai'an in the distance, and then slowly shook his head.
He turned to look at Shen Yi and laughed at himself.
"Brother Shen, it seems that you and I are of the same kind. We will trade the wealth and lives of countless people for our own future."
"At this point, there's nothing more to say."
General Zhao turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
"Then I wish you the best, Brother Shen."
He paused, then strode away.
"I wish I could sleep peacefully for the rest of my life."
