Because this time, he suffered the biggest loss since he took charge of the army.
Although the Qi people did not get any benefits from Chen Ji, and although the results of the Chen Ji battle could even be called a small victory, Shen Yi still felt a little uncomfortable because of the huge losses.
Reason told him that this was a process that every person in charge of a military must go through.
But now Mr. Shen is no longer very rational.
At midnight, Xue Wei, who had been sleeping...or in a coma for a long time, finally woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a somewhat slovenly young man sitting in his tent. The young man was lighting an oil lamp and was leaning on the table, writing something with a pen.
Xue Wei rubbed his eyes and was about to speak when the young man noticed that he was awake, so he put down the pen in his hand, moved the small stool under his buttocks, and sat in front of him.
"Does your body hurt?"
Xue Wei nodded like a student and said honestly: "It hurts a little."
He scratched his head, looked at the young man, and asked, "Mr. Shen, what time is it now?"
"It's midnight."
Shen Yi said calmly: "You have been asleep for almost five hours."
After saying this, Shen Yi glanced at him, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Didn't I tell you many times? You are already a senior general. For you, it is more important to learn those ten thousand things. The art of making enemies."
"You only know how to rush into battle, and by the time you die, you will be the material of a thousand households." Go.
Xue Wei smiled honestly at Shen Yi, and then shook his head in a rare way: "Mr. Shen, no matter how you usually instruct your subordinates, they all agree with you, but they feel that today is different."
He nodded silently and said: "It's too dangerous during the day."
"Brothers, someone already wants to retreat."
"Everyone knows their subordinates. At that time, it was no longer useful for subordinates to give orders from behind."
He looked up at Shen Yi with firm eyes: "We have to fight, we have to rush."
"If I, the general, don't charge, why should I let other brothers do it?"
When Shen Yi heard this, he was silent for a while, and then sighed: "It's rare that I will also learn from you, General Xue."
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
Xue Wei smiled honestly: "My subordinate is Ling Guang... um... Ling Guang or something..."
Shen Yi reminded patiently: "A sudden inspiration came to me."
"Yes, a sudden inspiration came to me!"
Xue Wei smiled and said: "I just had a sudden inspiration and suddenly thought of such a truth, but I don't dare to teach you anything."
He looked at Shen Yi with a rather sincere expression: "For my subordinates, Mr. Shen, you are the sir..."
"Okay, you can't say this, so there's no need to insist."
Mr. Shen was a little helpless, glanced at him, and asked, "Are you thirsty?"
General Xue nodded honestly and said: "I'm thirsty."
Shen Yi stood up and went to pour him a bowl of water. After watching Xue Wei finish drinking, Shen Yi continued: "Chen Ji's battlefield has been swept away. I have ordered Chen Ji's two thousand soldiers to drink it." Hu Ying, temporarily return to Huai'an to rest and recuperate, while recruiting troops in Huai'an to replenish manpower."
Only then did Xue Wei remember the war. He quickly looked at Shen Yi and asked, "By the way, Mr. Shen, what's going on over there in Gaozhuang?"
Shen Yi frowned, rubbed his brows, and said slowly: "Not long after we received the battle report from Su Ding, the battle at Gaozhuang was pretty good. The enemy did not attack by force. They retreated after injuring more than a thousand people. OK, Gaozhuang's defense line is intact."
Having said this, Shen Yi finally remembered the business. He looked at Xue Wei and asked: "Did you find any difference between the Qi army gathered in Chenji during the day today and the Qi army in Gaozhuang two days ago?"
Xue Wei frowned and thought for a moment, then replied: "I didn't find any difference."
Shen Yi touched his chin and said slowly: "The Qi people in Gaozhuang are all much weaker."
He whispered: "Either the Qi people in Gaozhuang were sent to die, or..."
"The Qi army here in Chenji, and the Qi army that attacked Gaozhuang two days ago."
"He is the elite among the Qi people..."
Xue Wei chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter whether he is an elite or not, he was beaten back to the other side by our brothers?"
Shen Yi rubbed his eyebrows.
"Our troops are not strong enough and we cannot continue to defend passively like this."
Mr. Shen seemed to be muttering to himself: "I have to think of other ways."
Xue Wei looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Mr. Shen, what are you talking about?"
"nothing."
Mr. Shen patted his shoulder and said, "You can continue to sleep. After this wave of people passes, you should be able to calm down for at least a day or two. You can rest assured to recover your health."
After saying this, he returned to the low table and continued to write something.
He was writing a battle report along the Huai'an defense line in the past few days.
A battle report to be sent to Jiankang. Go
………………
Huai'an's battle report is naturally crucial to the imperial court, so every battle report written by Shen Yi will be sent to Jiankang as quickly as possible by the internal guards and delivered to the hands of His Majesty the Emperor.
Therefore, what Shen Yi wrote in the early morning had already been delivered to His Majesty the Emperor of Ganlu Hall by the evening of the next day.
By the time the sun set, His Majesty the Emperor had read through all the frontline military information written by Shen Yi. He slowly placed the last battle report written by Shen Yi on the table here, then turned his head and glanced at Gao Ming.
"Where is the report from the inner guard?"
Eunuch Gao lowered his head slightly and said, "It's exactly the same as what Dr. Shen said."
Hearing these words, His Majesty the Emperor took a deep breath.
"How many days has it been since Shen Qi took over Huai'an?"
"My imperial edict commending Gaozhuang for the great victory has not yet been sent out, so we have fought three more battles!"
"In total, the Huai'an defense line has been attacked by nearly 10,000 people in front and behind it!"
His Majesty the Emperor became really angry, slammed the table, and said angrily: "The Huaihe Navy has fought several more battles today!"
Eunuch Gao hurriedly knelt on the ground, touched his head to the ground, and said in a panicked voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"It's hard for me to calm down."
The emperor snorted and sat back on his soft couch, his anger still lingering: "Yesterday, I went to discuss matters with those old people. Those old people..."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Gao immediately coughed.
All the palace people in the Manna Palace immediately bowed and left carefully.
The emperor looked at the leaving palace officials coldly. After they left, the emperor glanced at Gao Ming coldly and said expressionlessly: "What? Can't I scold those old things?"
Gao Ming knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I just don't want you to lose your dignity..."
When the emperor heard this, he curled his lips disdainfully.
But he did not continue to investigate. Instead, he looked at Shen Yi's memorial and said in a low voice: "Those old guys in Zhongshu are always at odds with each other. Shen Qi is contributing on the front line. In addition to saying Besides "wait and see", what else can you say?"
"Do you know what Shen Qi told me in the memorial?"
The emperor gritted his teeth: "He said that the officers and soldiers of Dusi were originally short of 7,000 pieces of armor, but now they are only short of more than 4,000 pieces!"
"If we keep fighting, maybe there won't be any shortage!"
Eunuch Gao lowered his head cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to help Mr. Shen..."
The emperor took a deep breath and said slowly: "If you can help him, you will naturally help him. It's just that there are so many people watching, so it's hard to give it to others directly..."
"Go to the Imperial Medical Office and send half of the medical officers in the Imperial Medical Office and all the medical officer disciples to Huai'an and leave them to Shen Qi for deployment."
His Majesty the Emperor's voice was hoarse: "The Coastal Capital Division has been victorious in all four battles so far, which is something our country has not seen in decades."
Having said this, the emperor's eyes were bright.
"This is the weather I have dreamed of."
He looked back at Gao Ming and said expressionlessly: "Send the order to the inner guards. If Shen Qi asks them to do anything, the inner guards will go directly to do it. If there is anything else..."
His Majesty the Emperor frowned in displeasure and spoke in a low voice.
"Go to Zhongshu and call my Prime Minister."
"I want to have a good chat with him, Chen Ping'an..."
