In mid-November, Mr. Shen, who had been resting in Huai'an for almost half a month, finally saw the scab on the wound on his right shoulder.
He took off the cloth strip that had been hanging for half a month from his hand. Although he recovered from his injuries, Mr. Shen's face did not look happy.
Ye Chan helped Shen Yi take off the bandages, and then carefully helped him put on thicker clothes.
After putting on her clothes, she looked at Shen Yi, then looked at Shen Yi's expression, and asked softly: "Master, are you going out?"
"Yes." Mr. Shen reached out and pinched Ye Chan's cheek, and a smile appeared on his face: "I need to go out and do something." Ye Chan looked at Shen Yi and sighed slightly: "Master, these days , I have been in a bad mood." Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said indifferently: "It's okay, my mood will be better after the incident is over. Now is the time to settle this matter." He bid farewell to Ye Chan and took a dozen people with him The entourage left from the imperial envoy's carriage.
Because the injury on his arm had not healed yet, Shen Yi did not ride a horse but went out in a carriage. Fortunately, the distance was not very far. In only a day or two, he arrived at the Lianshui Camp on the western front of the Huai'an defense line.
This is the largest camp on the Western Front and the core of the Western Front. A total of four thousand-household camps are stationed here.
Nearly half of the troops on the Western Front are deployed here. Ling Su, the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, spends most of his time here presiding over military affairs on the Western Front.
Knowing that Shen Yi was coming, Ling Su led a group of generals from Lianshui Camp to greet Shen Yi on the official road early in the morning. Basically, more than a hundred households were present.
As the imperial envoy of the Huai'an Governor, it is normal for Shen Yi to inspect the defense along the Huai River, and it is also his job.
It was almost noon when Master Shen's carriage arrived near Lianshui Camp. Ling Su and a group of generals stood on both sides of the official road. When Shen Yi's carriage approached, the group bowed their heads and clasped their fists in salute.
Because they had been trained in advance, their voices were uniform. Dozens of people spoke in unison, very loudly.
"The general is waiting, meet Mr. Shen!" The carriage stopped slowly. Shen Yi opened the curtain and glanced at the generals on both sides of the road who were bowing to him. He squinted his eyes slightly and closed them again. Curtain, voice calm.
"Let's go back to the camp." Ling Su was stunned. He looked up at Shen Yi's carriage and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Because the attitude of Mr. Shen in front of him... seemed a little too cold. He seemed a little different from the gentle Mr. Shen before.
If it were the old Shen Yi, no matter what happened now, he would get off the carriage, meet and talk to these subordinates, and then get on the carriage and return to the camp.
And now Mr. Shen... has changed. Becoming a bit like other civil servants. However, Ling Su didn't think for a long time. After being stunned for a moment, he clasped his fists respectfully and said yes.
Immediately afterwards, everyone got on their horses, surrounded Shen Yi's carriage, and entered the Lianshui Camp. Then the Lianshui Camp was raised to the tent, and Shen Yi sat in the commanding position.
After Shen Yi sat down, Ling Su coughed and said to Shen Yi: "Mr. Shen, because I only received the news yesterday that you were going to inspect Lianshui Camp, my subordinates did not have time to summon all the thousands of households on the western front. Two Thousand Households from the nearby Pingqiao Camp are here. Mr. Shen, do you think you should call all the other Thousand Households?" A smile appeared on Mr. Shen's face.
He should smile at this time. But he was really not in a good mood, and the smile he forced out turned into a fake smile, which made the generals of the Lianshui camp feel frightened.
Especially Ling Su. Ling Su's business ability can only be said to be above average, but he is well versed in the ways of being an official. Seeing Shen Yi's appearance, he felt something was wrong in his heart. General Ling suddenly remembered something, and his heart skipped a beat. .
He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Shen, is there something about the defense of the Western Front that dissatisfies you? If there is anything inappropriate..." He knelt down half-kneeling, lowered his head and said, "Finally, I will beg Mr. Shen to punish me!" Shen Yi exhaled a deep breath, and his stinky face finally slowly dissipated.
It's not that he doesn't have a deep understanding of the city and puts everything on his face. It was actually this incident that made him feel uncomfortable.
And...in Huai'an, Shen Qi is like a god and a man of words. There is really no need to put on airs in front of these subordinates.
Mr. Shen waved his hand indifferently and said: "General Ling, get up quickly. I'm here this time just to inspect the defense along the Huaihe River. I don't have anything else to do." After Ling Su got up, he took a look The faces of the thousands of households present here were calm: "In addition to patrolling defense, fifty new telescopes were sent to Jiankang a few days ago. The effect is much better than the previous one. The scout camp has been equipped with them. I just wanted to send it to the brothers on the Western Front." He looked around at everyone with a calm expression: "However, the telescope is still a top-secret item of the imperial court. In order to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Qi people, it was originally distributed to all of you. You need to hand in the telescope in advance. After handing it in, I will send you new ones tomorrow." At this point, Mr. Shen sat in his seat and said calmly: "Before sunset, put the old ones in The telescopes are all sent to the commander's tent, and the military documents are prepared and stored in the warehouse." A group of thousands of households looked at each other, lowered their heads, saluted Shen Yi with fists in their hands, left the commander's tent, and went back to get the binoculars.
Ling Su stayed on his own initiative. After everyone left, he looked at Shen Yi, stepped forward cautiously, bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Shen..."
"You seem to be in a bad mood..." He lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and said bravely: "Is it..." General Ling gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Is it about the leakage of Zhou Qiao's defense..." Hearing When he said this, Master Shen looked at him thoughtfully, then showed no expression on his face.
"Yes." Ling Su trembled when he heard this word. This is what he fears the most! It's not that he, Ling Su, had an affair with Qi Ren.
Naturally, he did not have an affair with Qi Ren. He was worried that it was his subordinate who had an affair with Qi Ren! Because of him, his position in the entire Dusi Group is already somewhat embarrassing.
Since Dusi took over the defense of Huai'an in August, he has fought several battles with the Qi people, but the tough battles were basically fought on the eastern front. As a result, General Su Dingsu also emerged in the army.
He, Ling Su, could be replaced at any time now. There is only one chance to be replaced... And if someone among his subordinates had an affair with Qi Ren, you can imagine how angry Shen Yi would be?
How to be angry? As long as this anger spreads to him even a little bit, his position as the commander-in-chief will be in danger.
Seeing Ling Su's ugly face, Shen Yi looked at him quietly.
"Is General Ling thinking that Shen is deliberately playing tricks to get rid of you as the general?" Ling Su turned pale and knelt in front of Shen Yi, lowering his head: "The general doesn't dare." He gritted his teeth and said: " The general only hates himself for not being strict with his subordinates, and only hates the beasts under his hands for eating them inside and out!"
"Mr. Shen, please give the list to the general. The general will personally concoct him!" Mr. Shen looked calm and said indifferently: "Who is it? General Ling will wait here quietly. We will find out before sunset. ." Ling Su just knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Shen Yi didn't help him up, he just sat there minding his own business. Soon, Qian Hu, who acted quickly, came back to hand over the binoculars. As soon as they entered the handsome tent, they saw Ling Su kneeling on the ground, and felt their hearts skip a beat.
Thousands of households came in one after another and handed over their telescopes. There are a total of fourteen telescopes on the entire Western Front. In addition to you Qianhu, the Scout Battalion was issued two more telescopes, and there was also a command officer who was also issued telescopes.
By sunset, only thirteen coins had been handed in. Qianhu Shen Da knelt in front of Shen Yi, hesitated, then lowered his head and said: "Mr. Shen, my subordinate's telescope..."
"Lost..." Shen Yi looked at him quietly and asked, "Did he lose it or lend it to someone else?" Hearing Shen Yi's question, Ling Su stood up directly and stared at Shen Da fiercely.
Shen Da shrank his neck and turned to look at another Qianhu among the Qianhu behind him. The man subconsciously took half a step back as if avoiding a snake or a scorpion.
Shen Da gritted his teeth and lowered his head: "Back to Mr. Shen, my subordinate's telescope was accidentally lost..."
"My subordinates suspect that someone stole it..."
"I have been looking for it for several days. A few days ago, my subordinate sent Mr. Shen a document explaining this matter..." Mr. Shen squinted his eyes and suddenly smiled.
He clapped his hands gently and sighed.
"What a loyalty."
