In Xue Wei's "ward", Ling Su and Su Ding walked in one after another. When they saw Shen Yi sitting by the bed, they both lowered their heads respectfully and saluted with fists clasped.
"Greetings to Mr. Shen!"
Shen Yi nodded silently.
The two looked at each other, and Ling Su stepped forward, lowered his head and asked, "Mr. Shen, I heard that you were injured, and you are feeling better now."
Su Ding also stepped forward, cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Shen, are your injuries okay?"
Shen Yi closed his eyes and said slowly: "I'm fine. Just go see General Xue."
The two people nodded quickly. Ling Su turned his head and looked at Xue Wei on the bed, hurried over in a few steps, bent down slightly, and asked: "Brother, is everything okay?"
Su Ding also walked to the bed, lowered his head slightly, waiting for Ling Su to finish speaking.
At this moment, Xue Wei was still in "shock". After hearing Ling Su's voice, he came back to his senses, shook his head slightly and said: "General Ling, I'm not in the way, just rest for a while."
Ling Su breathed a sigh of relief and said, "On the way, I heard that you were seriously injured and fainted, which scared me."
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
Ling Su quickly glanced at Shen Yi, who had his eyes closed and said nothing, and then whispered: "Speaking of it, we were supposed to change defenses on the east and west fronts. The change of defenses was delayed because of the Battle of Hongze Lake. Brother, you suffered for me. These knives."
Xue Wei was not very interested and said a few words casually.
Ling Su then took two steps back and stood in front of Shen Yi, waiting for Shen Yi's scolding.
Su Ding also stepped forward at this moment. He bent over and looked at Xue Wei, who was all bandaged. His eyes couldn't help but turn red, and asked: "General Xue, you..."
"Has the pain in your body subsided a little?"
He is Xue Wei's subordinate. During the fierce battle in Zhouqiao yesterday, he saw with his own eyes that Xue Wei, who was covered in blood, was carried down. He was naturally agitated at this moment.
Xue Wei shook his head: "It hurts a little, but it doesn't matter."
When he saw Su Ding, he became more energetic and asked, "General Su, what's the follow-up to the Zhouqiao War?"
Su Ding looked back at Shen Yi. Mr. Shen was also looking at him at the moment. When he saw him looking at him, he said, "Just say it."
"yes."
Su Ding collected his thoughts and said: "Back to Mr. Shen, General Xue, yesterday until noon, there were 2,500 people in Zhouqiao, and there were only less than 1,000 people left to fight. When the defense line was about to be broken, Four thousand-household camps arrived one after another."
"At this time, the Qi people were also in decline. Taking advantage of the favorable geographical location, the general pushed the battle line back to the banks of the Huaihe River, and fought fiercely from noon until nightfall."
Su Ding took a breath, bowed his head slightly and said to Shen Yi: "According to rough statistics, in addition to the more than a thousand people injured in the Zhouqiao camp and the cavalry battalion, more than 800 people were killed in the subsequent four thousand-household battalions. …”
"This is how we successfully repelled the Qi people."
"This time the Qi people were in Zhouqiao, and the number of people killed in battle was definitely more than 3,000. The general has no way of calculating how many of them were injured, but there were some Qi people who were too late to get on the ship, and they were later captured by the general. There were about 200 people. .”
"According to the general's estimate, the 8,000 Qi people who attacked this time will lose at least half of them, including the injured!"
Mr. Shen nodded silently.
Obviously, after the reinforcements arrived at Zhouqiao at noon yesterday, the intensity of the fighting between the two sides suddenly dropped.
Because Qi people are also human beings.
In the first stage, the Zhouqiao defenders were insufficient in number, and they still wanted to break through the Zhouqiao defense line and reach the south bank in one go.
But after the army on the south bank reached the defenders, the Qi people naturally lost their temper.
"Treatment of the wounded must be well arranged. As long as they are breathing, no one must be treated without treatment."
Shen Yi paused and continued: "Also, the list of killed must be complete, and no one person should be missing. If even one person is missing..."
Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "Then from you Su Ding, from top to bottom to the general flag of the hundred households camp, everyone will be recorded once!"
Su Ding lowered his head tremblingly, cupped his fists and said, "I obey my orders!"
Mr. Shen finally glanced at the three people.
His eyes were focused on Ling Su, Xue Wei, and Su Ding, and then his voice was hoarse: "In this Zhouqiao battle, in terms of the number of casualties, we took advantage. When we reported it to the court, we naturally It’s also a reward for success and merit.”
"However, when the generals think of this battle in their hearts, they cannot regard it as a victory."
"We suffered the loss."
Mr. Shen said angrily: "Almost all of my two thousand-household camps in Zhouqiao were destroyed!"
"There are only a few hundred people left who can fight!"
"And half of my cavalry battalion was also destroyed."
After saying these words, Shen Yi took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Then he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, listen up."
"Whether you rob or steal, I will get you fifty boats on the Huaihe River before next spring."
"When we fought against the Japanese army, we practiced water warfare."
He looked at Su Ding and continued: "General Su also practiced water warfare when he was in the Mingzhou Guard."
"Next year, Dusi must become a qualified navy."
Mr. Shen shouted in a deep voice: "At the very least, there must be warships that can meet the enemy on the Huaihe River, instead of like now, where the enemy comes and leaves at will!"
"Next year, we will also take a warship and go to the other side of the river to kill everyone!"
Ling Su and Su Ding lowered their heads, clasped their fists and said, "I obey my orders!"
Even Xue Wei, who was on the hospital bed, couldn't help but clenched his fists.
After talking about the warship, Shen Yi glanced at Ling Su and Su Ding again, and continued: "This time the Zhouqiao Camp was attacked."
"Our defense plan..."
Having said this, Shen Yi did not continue.
Ling Su and Su Ding both lowered their heads in unison.
They are all thoughtful people, and Shen Yi doesn't need to explain some things clearly.
They can all understand it, and they can all tell that their boss Shen is extremely angry.
Mr. Shen looked calm and said calmly: "I am from the Di newspaper department, so you two do not need to investigate this matter. I will send someone to investigate, no matter whose subordinate I find out."
Shen Yi's tone became sinister and he whispered: "I hope you will accept the punishment."
The two men lowered their heads and said, "Yes, I understand."
"alright."
Master Shen stretched out his hand, and Ling Su immediately took two steps forward and helped him up.
After standing up, Shen Yi looked at the two people and said: "It is unlikely that the Qi people will attack within this year, but it is not impossible. The three of you are here to discuss the follow-up regulations. After the discussion, General Ling and Su General, please return to your own defense lines."
Shen Yi paused and continued: "I will take care of the wounded this time."
The two lowered their heads and clasped their fists again.
"I will obey your orders!"
"Um."
Shen Yi nodded, turned around and staggered out of Xue Wei's tent. Outside the tent, Jiang Sheng was already waiting. When he saw Shen Yi walking out, he immediately stepped forward to help Shen Yi and whispered: "Master, I'll help you." Are you going back to rest?"
Shen Yi shook his head and said, "Help me go see Senior Brother Zhang."
Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
Soon, he helped Shen Yi to Zhang Jian's tent.
Because he stayed up late last night, Zhang Jian just woke up. When he saw Shen Yi walking in, he washed his face in a hurry, frowned at Shen Yi and said, "Why are Ziheng up now?"
"The doctor said you need to stay in bed for some time to recuperate."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said, "I'm fine."
He found a stool in the tent and sat down, then tried to move his right arm, but still felt a huge pain.
Mr. Shen said with a helpless smile: "I tried it this morning. I guess I can't use my right arm for a while, and I can't hold the brush, but I still have a lot to write."
"Therefore, come early in the morning to trouble senior brother."
Mr. Shen looked at Zhang Jian quietly.
"Ghostwriting for me."
Zhang Jian didn't waste any time and started to polish the ink directly. While polishing the ink, he said, "What does Ziheng want to write? A letter or a memorial?"
"I'm afraid I have to write it all."
Shen Yi whispered: "The first is a secret letter to His Majesty, and the second is a document to the imperial court. In addition, there are several private letters from me."
After a pause, he said: "And a letter to the Di newspaper department."
Zhang Jian didn't waste any time, just found a chair and sat down, then spread out the paper, found a paperweight to hold it down, and looked up at Shen Yi.
"Ziheng, you dictate and I'll write."
The skill of writing, for Jinshi like them, is the ability to make a living, so all of them can write well. In this way, Shen Yi dictated and Zhang Jian wrote for them. It took an hour to write five or six letters. All written.
Finally, after writing the last word, Zhang Fuzun put down his brush and looked up at Shen Yi, as if looking at a monster.
"Unknowingly."
he sighed.
"Ziheng, you are already so big..."
