Hongze Lake Camp, for Shen Yi and the Huaihe Navy, is by no means just a camp!
Although this place is not a crucial place, it is not a place that must be captured.
However, occupying this place is of vital significance on a political level!
The Huaihe Navy's defense was weak, and the Qi people broke through the defense line and almost pushed the Qi people south of the Huaihe River. At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Coastal Capital Division provided timely support, like magic soldiers descending from the sky, not only guarding the Hongze Lake camp, but also He also repelled the invading Qi people!
How pleasant would it be for such words to reach the court?
Zhao Lu couldn't help but clenched his fists when he saw Shen Yi, who had even some bruises on his face and looked miserable all over, but with his head held high and a look of arrogance on his face.
Gritting my teeth with hatred.
No one is stupid.
At this time, if the Hongze Lake camp is really occupied by people from the Coastal Capital Division, then it doesn’t matter if the Huaihe Navy has lost its reputation, but more importantly, it has lost its “face”!
At this time, the Huaihe Navy, or rather the Zhao Clan, wanted to avoid being abandoned by the court and wanted to prove their ability. The Hongze Lake Camp broke through the defenses, which would have already hurt the face. If even the Hongze Lake The camp was also occupied by Shen Yi!
Then his father, the commander-in-chief of the Huaihe Navy, should stop doing this. He might as well tie his hands and return to Jiankang to kowtow to the emperor and plead guilty!
The Major General of the Huaihe Navy was extremely angry.
But he suppressed his anger and tried to calm himself down. After taking several deep breaths, Zhao Zhuo cupped his hands towards Shen Yi and said: "Master Shen, this is the station of our Huaihe Navy. Your army will provide timely support. Huaihe The entire navy is grateful and will truthfully report the merits of your army to the imperial court afterwards, but should your army..."
"Evacuate our Hongze Lake camp first?"
Master Shen grinned and untied the heavy armor and stomach on his body, and then began to remove it.
Although he was tired just now, Qi Ren had not completely retreated, so even when he slept, he always slept with his armor on.
At this time, all the armor and stomach were gone, and his whole body immediately felt much more relaxed. Mr. Shen then raised his head, looked at the young general of the Huaihe Navy in front of him, and said calmly: "Zhao Qianshi, our officers and soldiers from the Coastal Capital Division, In order to support the Huaihe Navy, there have been many casualties, and many wounded soldiers are currently being treated at Hongze Lake Camp."
"Now, I will officially inform you."
Shen Yi said expressionlessly: "Our army needs to rest at the Hongze Lake Camp for ten days. After ten days, Zhao Qianshi will come back to take over the Hongze Lake Camp."
Zhao Zhuo became a little anxious and said quickly: "Master Shen, we can send your soldiers back to your army's base..."
Mr. Shen sneered, ignored him, turned around and left: "That's it."
His voice is getting farther and farther away.
"If the Major General feels that it's not possible or feels uncomfortable, it's easy to do."
"It just so happens that our army is now exhausted from long battles. If the Major General can attack the camp in the middle of the night, he will definitely be able to defeat the friendly forces and recapture the Hongze Lake camp."
After saying this, Master Shen limped into the Hongze Lake camp with Ling Su's support.
After entering the camp, he shouted in a low voice: "Strict security. Without my order, no one is allowed to let an outsider enter or leave the camp. Anyone who disobeys the order will be subject to military law!"
At this moment, at the gate of the Hongze Lake camp, there were some intact officers and soldiers. After hearing Shen Yi's words, they immediately lowered their heads and responded in unison: "Yes!"
After Shen Yi finished his instructions, he turned to look at Ling Su and slowly exhaled: "Let's go back to the tent."
Ling Su carefully supported Shen Yi, lowered his head slightly and said, "Mr. Shen, are you okay?"
Shen Yi shook his head and said helplessly: "Although I have practiced some kung fu with the inner guards, my body is not as strong as you after all. My whole body really hurts now."
"There are no injuries on the body."
"Have a few days of rest and you should be fine."
"Mr. Shen is already very powerful."
Ling Su lowered his head slightly and said: "Brothers who fought on the battlefield today, there are few who don't feel pain on their bodies. Some of them couldn't hold the sword steadily after half an hour."
"Shen Gong is both civil and military. He will be recorded in the history books and become a good story in the future."
Faced with such flattery, Shen Yi shook his head and ignored it.
While they were talking, the two people had already entered a large tent. The tent had been tidied up and the place was not small. It should have been a handsome tent specially tidied up for Shen Yi.
In the tent, there is also a low table, cushions, beds, etc.
There were even pens, ink, paper and inkstones placed on the table.
This should have been arranged by Jiang Sheng for Shen Yi. After following Shen Yi for so many years, he knew very well that Shen Yi had a lot of official matters to deal with and write something no matter where he was.
After being supported by Ling Su and sitting on the soft cushion, Shen Yi exhaled and said directly: "Our people are temporarily staying at the Hongze Lake camp. There is only one thousand-household camp left in this formation. This is tens of millions."
If it’s not enough, you pass my order to transfer two thousand-household battalions from other places on the Western Front and station them in Hongze Lake, firstly to resist the Qi people, and secondly..."
Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Secondly, be careful of some people who should be careful, lest they jump over the wall in a hurry."
Ling Su lowered his head in agreement, then thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Shen, then the defenses in other places on our western front will also be weaker..."
"I will write a letter to Huai'an Mansion later."
Shen Yi said slowly: "There are some newly recruited soldiers in Huai'an Mansion, as well as some veterans who have recovered from their injuries. If they can be used, I will transfer them all to the Western Front and you will deploy them."
Seeing Ling Su's silence, Shen Yi said in a low voice: "General Ling must understand that it is not that I cannot move the troops on the Eastern Front, but that the Eastern Front cannot be moved temporarily. I always believe that their attack on Hongze Lake is just a pretense."
"In a few days, reinforcements from Northern Qi will arrive."
Shen Yi closed his eyes and continued: "When the time comes, the eastern front of Huai'an will still be a massacre."
"When the time comes, General Ling, you will also be deployed to the Eastern Front."
Ling Su then lowered his head and said, "My subordinates have absolutely no objection to Duke Shen's orders."
Shen Yi nodded, and after resting for a while, he had time to ask the questions he should ask.
"What are our battle losses today?"
Shen Yi has been sleeping for several hours, and it has been several hours since the war ended.
At this time, Ling Su naturally had a lot of people.
He sorted out his thoughts and said: "Go back to Mr. Shen, the Huaihe Navy from the Hongze Lake Camp..."
"Heavy casualties."
"Based on the current rough number, I am afraid that more than half of their four thousand people were killed in battle, and more than half of the remaining two thousand people were injured."
"We have come to three thousand-household camps in total, and now we have more than 2,100 combat forces left."
Shen Yi nodded silently.
Although this number is a bit large, it is within the range that Shen Yi can accept.
"Where's Qi Ren?"
Ling Su lowered his head slowly, with an excited look on his face: "Mr. Shen, this time Qi people invested more than 8,000 people into the Hongze Lake battlefield, and more than half of them were left behind!"
"Together with two or three hundred prisoners!"
"This time, the number of people injured is probably around 5,000."
He looked at Shen Yi with eager eyes.
"Mr. Shen, this is a great victory!"
Shen Yi glanced at him silently, then nodded and said quietly: "Yes, it's a great victory."
"There is a rough number. I can give it to Your Majesty tonight. Give me the specific number tomorrow and I will report it to the court."
"But remember, the Huaihe Navy also killed people and killed people."
"People also have a mouth. When reporting credit, you can't just take all the credit for others."
Ling Su smiled awkwardly, lowered his head and said, "Yes, Mr. Shen, you are right."
After Shen Yi thought for a while, he rubbed his head and continued: "I can't think of anything else for the moment..."
Ling Su stood up and clasped his fists at Shen Yi: "Then let me do it now..."
"I remembered."
Master Shen opened his eyes and interrupted Ling Su's words.
"Tell the soldiers below that if you have nothing to do these days, chat more with the brothers of the Huaihe Navy."
"Talk more..."
Shen Yi looked up at Ling Su with a calm expression.
