After opening his eyes suddenly, he sat up directly, then looked around, and saw that everything was pitch black.
He exclaimed, and there was movement outside the tent immediately. Jiang Sheng brought a lantern and hurried in. After hanging the lantern, he hurriedly walked to Shen Yi's bed and fell directly to the ground. The sound They were all trembling a little.
"Sir, you're awake!"
There was a hint of crying in Jiang Sheng's voice.
"Sir, you've had a fever for a long time and haven't woken up yet. You scared us all!"
Shen Yi took several breaths, then looked at Jiang Sheng. After a moment, he calmed down. His voice was hoarse to the extreme: "Bring me some water."
Only then did Jiang Sheng come to his senses, immediately got up and went to pour water for Shen Yi.
At this moment, Mr. Shen was extremely thirsty. After taking the water bowl, he raised his head and drank it all. He felt the taste was sweet and extremely refreshing.
After drinking up the bowl of water, Shen Yi exhaled, looked at Jiang Sheng, and asked, "What time is it now?"
Jiang Sheng quickly lowered his head and said: "Go back to me, sir, it's almost time..."
Shen Yi nodded silently and asked, "Where are we?"
"In the large camp in Linhuaian, the one stationed here is the Guangzhou Weijia Camp..."
Upon hearing these words, Shen Yi immediately understood where he was.
Shen Yi also arranged for a Qianhu Camp to be stationed near Huai'an Prefecture. The reason for stationing here was to cover the "defeated army" entering Huai'an City at a critical moment.
At the same time, this army can also help the Huai'an Prefecture's Yamen to maintain order in Huai'an Prefecture when necessary.
Therefore, this camp is very close to Huai'an City, only four or five miles away.
In other words, it should be absolutely safe here now.
Mr. Shen sat up, rubbed his head, sorted out his thoughts, and then asked softly: "Who is in charge of affairs in the camp now? Ask him to come see me."
Jiang Sheng lowered his head and replied: "Sir, after you fell asleep, you and General Xue were sent to this camp. Later, the wounded soldiers on the front line were also sent here for treatment."
"Now, in the afternoon, Mr. Zhang, the prefect of Huai'an, arrived with some doctors and rushed to the camp. After checking on your situation, Master Zhang, he stayed. Now he is in charge of the affairs in the camp. ."
Shen Yi nodded silently, lay back on the bed, and said slowly: "Go and have a look. If Senior Brother Zhang is not asleep yet, invite him to come to me. If he is, find a general in the camp. Bring it to me."
"yes."
Jiang Sheng hurriedly climbed up and carefully ran out of Shen Yi's tent.
After a while, Jiang Sheng held the lamp and invited a young official into Shen Yi's tent. After Shen Yi saw the young man, he stretched his arms to sit up.
Zhang Jian took two steps forward, pressed Shen Yi's shoulders, and motioned for him to lie down and talk.
At this moment, Shen Yi felt no pain anywhere in his body, so he did not insist on sitting up. He just smiled bitterly at Zhang Jian and said: "It's quite embarrassing, making senior brother laugh."
Zhang Jian looked serious. He stood up straight and bowed to Shen Yi respectfully: "There is no scholar in this dynasty who is better than Zi Heng. I bow to you as my brother."
Mr. Shen sat up with his arms propped up and shook his head slightly.
"If the elders and younger ones are in order, senior brother, don't waste my life."
Zhang Jian found a small bench by himself, sat next to Shen Yi's bed, and said with a smile: "What is the order of elders and young ones? Qi Lang can be said to have immeasurable merits now. Don't say I want to worship you. In my opinion, it is a virtue." Those high-ranking officials in Kangcheng and those prime ministers in Zhongshu should also pay their respects to you, Qilang."
Shen Yi shook his head and said: "After I fainted, I lost track of everyone. Now I don't even know what happened."
"Please give me some advice, senior brother."
Zhang Jian sighed silently and said in a low voice: "Brother, I haven't had time to see General Su about what happened on the battlefield, so I only got some information from a person with a thousand households."
After a pause, he said, "When Zi Heng passed out, four thousand battalions rushed to the Zhouqiao battlefield and took over the battle situation."
"After that, you were sent back to the rear. General Su Ding insisted on commanding from the front."
"I heard that after the reinforcements arrived, the pressure on Zhouqiao's defense line dropped sharply, and subsequent reinforcements also arrived. Therefore, Zhouqiao fought fiercely all day long. After nightfall, the Qi people slowly retreated."
With that said, Zhang Jian looked up at the night outside and said, "At this moment, the fighting on the front line is probably not over yet, but the large-scale fighting is probably over."
He looked at Shen Yi and said in a deep voice: "This time, even though the Qi people lost their troops and generals, they were unable to break through our Zhouqiao defense line in Huai'an. There were nearly ten thousand of them, and they didn't even see the city wall of our Huai'an!"
"Ziheng, you are so amazing!"
Zhang Jian stroked his hand and said: "As a brother, I thought you were great before, but I only thought you were a scholar and could pass down your poems and essays. Now I realize that compared to the art of war, Zi Heng's literary talents are simply not worth mentioning!" "
Zhang Fuzun said with emotion: "I, Mr. Chen, have not seen such an extraordinary person like Zi Heng for a long time."
"Fortunately, Ziheng, you are a scholar. If you were a military commander..."
Zhang Jian said softly: "I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to stand out like today."
Shen Yi rubbed his swollen arm. As soon as he raised his hand, he felt a huge pain in his right shoulder. He couldn't help but let out a "hiss".
Zhang Jian quickly supported Shen Yi and said, "Zi Heng, there is a stab wound on your right back shoulder. Although it is not particularly deep, it has bled a lot. The doctor has bandaged it. Don't move around."
Shen Yi frowned, shook his head and said, "It's weird, I didn't even know it."
"This is how it is on the battlefield."
Zhang Jian said softly: "Many soldiers were injured on the battlefield and could not feel the pain. They could only feel the pain after they got off the battlefield."
"Fortunately, your muscles and bones were not hurt."
Zhang Jian said: "Otherwise, there will be problems with your pen-holding hand."
Shen Yi rubbed his eyebrows with his left hand, sorted out his messy thoughts, and then asked: "Zhouqiao Camp, a total of two thousand people, have they all been withdrawn? How many casualties have there been?"
"How is Xue Wei doing now?"
"besides…"
Shen Yi opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Jian, and said in a hoarse voice, "What are the casualties of my five hundred cavalry?"
Hearing Shen Yi ask three questions in a row, Zhang Jian sighed helplessly.
"Ziheng, there are 2,000 people in the Zhouqiao camp, more than half of them were killed..."
"Almost everyone of the remaining half is injured. It's hard to say whether two to three hundred people can survive."
"There are hundreds of people left. Even if some of them can be rescued, they probably won't be able to fight anymore."
Shen Yi fell silent.
Although Zhang Jian's words were not so direct, the meaning was obvious.
The two thousand-household camps in Zhouqiao have been completely disabled!
If they are not given additional troops, they may not even have an organizational structure.
Zhang Jian saw that Shen Yi's face was not good-looking. He was silent for a while and continued: "According to what Huang Cong and Huang Qianhu said, the 500 cavalrymen rushing to help Zhouqiao this time, the casualties combined, are probably more than half. The specific number..."
"Brother, we don't have it here yet."
"As for General Xue..."
"I'm having a fever now."
Zhang Jian whispered: "I found the best doctor in Huai'an for my brother to treat his injury. The doctor said that his injury is not serious and he needs to get through it on his own."
"But the doctor said that General Xue has a very strong body and bones, and there is a high probability that he can carry it through."
Shen Yi sat by the bed and listened quietly to Zhang Jian's words.
Every time Zhang Jian said something, his expression became uglier.
Seeing that Shen Yi's face was not very good, Zhang Fuzun said quickly: "But Zi Heng, don't worry, Huang Qianhu said that Qi people's casualties must be more than ours."
Shen Yi took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Jian, and continued to ask: "How will the follow-up battle go?"
Zhang Fuzun smiled helplessly: "Ziheng, I'm just a local official here to help. I don't know many things in the military yet..."
Shen Yi nodded silently, then slowly turned his head and looked towards the north.
His face was like a flat lake, but the anger in his chest was already like a stormy sea.
"I have written down all these accounts..."
Mr. Shen's hands under his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.
He whispered quietly in his heart.
"Soon, Mr. Shen will get his money back with interest..."
