The whole day, Pei Jun followed Shen Yi and inspected the battlefield.
At this time, the battle in Yanzhou battlefield was still quite stalemate.
For a whole day, the Huai'an Army's battle line only advanced less than ten feet to the north. During this period, they were forced back by the Qi people several times. The back and forth was very fierce.
Until after sunset, when the sun set and the sky gradually darkened, the fighting on the battlefield continued, but Shen Yi had already left the battlefield with Pei Jun and returned to his handsome tent.
In the handsome tent, Jiang Sheng had prepared several side dishes according to Shen Yi's instructions. The dishes were not very rich, but they were just four dishes and one soup.
Shen Yi asked Pei Jun to sit down and explained: "When I was in the army, I always ate and drank with my brothers in the army. Today, General Pei came over and had someone prepare a few dishes. They were a bit shabby. Don't take offense to General Pei. "
In officialdom, sometimes some inconspicuous details can offend people.
For example, if a civil servant comes down and you invite him to a meal, but the standard is not good enough, the reception conditions are not good, and the food is not even delicious, some small-minded civil servants will feel that you are looking down on him.
After going back, maybe this problem will be settled, and if there is a chance in the future, he will think about killing you.
Of course, this situation is still uncommon among military attaches.
However, Shen Yi still explained it. After all, there will be many places in the future where he will have to cooperate with General Pei.
Pei Jun quickly shook his head and said: "It's already very good."
Although he said that, Shen Yi could tell that they were polite words.
Pei Jun is not a general who leads troops to fight outside. He has always defended Jiankang. As one of the five commanders of the Forbidden Army, he is not short of fine clothes and fine food, but there is definitely no shortage of wine and meat every day.
To put it bluntly, I haven’t suffered much.
After the two toasted each other, they put down their glasses, and Pei Jun began to talk about serious matters. He first looked at Shen Yi, and then said with emotion: "Today, Pei is really eye-opening. The officers and soldiers of the Huai'an Army, even when facing Qi people, Even if he rushes into the formation, he can face him without any change of expression, and in terms of ferociousness, it is even more so."
"If I remember correctly, the Huai'an Army under Lord Shen was reorganized at the end of last year. Not all of the officers and soldiers in the army are Huai'an Army, but many are former generals from the Huaihe Navy and the Forbidden Army."
After a pause, he said: "General Meng Lianmeng, who leads the 20,000 troops of the Forbidden Army, used to be Pei's subordinate."
Shen Yi then said with a smile: "General Meng is also a fierce general in the right army under my command."
Pei Jun looked at Shen Yi, paused, and finally said bluntly: "The former Forbidden Army did not seem to be so brave."
Mr. Shen smiled and said: "I believe that the most important thing when fighting in the army is an atmosphere. As long as we win a few battles, everyone's morale and morale will be high. Once the atmosphere is established, everyone will risk their lives."
"and."
Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Besides, the Forbidden Army and the Huaihe Navy that General Pei mentioned no longer exist."
"The officers and soldiers under my command are all from the Huai'an Army and have been treated equally."
Pei Jun was quite touched when he heard this and nodded thoughtfully.
"General Pei, there is no need to panic. You have also seen today that the so-called Qi people, even if they are head-on on the battlefield, they will not get any advantage in the hands of our Huai'an army."
"These defenders of Yanzhou City are still the Southern Expeditionary Army of the Qi people stationed at the Huaihe River. Compared with the local army of the Qi people, they can be said to be elite."
"Elite, nothing more than that."
"After General Pei returns, he will win several battles in Guide Mansion to boost the morale of the army. I believe the people of Qi will be like this under General Pei."
Pei Jun toasted Shen Yi with a glass of wine and said with emotion: "I hope so."
"To be honest, the first time Pei received an important assignment was a major battle related to the national system and even the fate of the country..."
Shen Yi sighed and said: "When I was ordered to station in Huai'an, everyone thought that the coastal capital I created would be shattered in front of the Qi people and would be vulnerable to a single blow."
"The generals under General Pei now have a much stronger foundation than the coastal capitals back then. They all have one head and two arms. There is no reason to be afraid of those Qi people."
Pei Jun lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and said with a wry smile: "After seeing the heroic appearance of the Huai'an army today, I was thinking in my heart, if I also serve under Shen Shilang, be a general leading the army, and only follow the deployment of Shen Shilang, no need It’s good to have to worry about it.”
Mr. Shen shook his head quickly.
"General Pei, don't talk nonsense. Your leadership of the Northern Expedition and the Western Route Army is decided by the imperial court and His Majesty. How can it be easier?"
"That's just what I said..."
Pei Jun wanted to talk again. Outside the tent, Jiang Sheng suddenly walked in in a hurry. He glanced at the two people first, then lowered his head and said, "Young Master."
"General Pei."
Pei Jun looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Senior Minister Shen, Pei will step aside first?"
Shen Yi looked up at Jiang Sheng and gave Jiang Sheng a questioning look. After Jiang Sheng nodded slightly, Master Shen smiled and said: "General Pei is one of our own, why should we avoid him?"
"You have something to say."
Jiang Sheng quickly lowered his head and smiled: "Sir, I just received news from the Di News Division that General Xue fought fiercely with Qi reinforcements for two days in the Sishui County area and finally defeated the enemy."
"Now, nearly half of the enemy has been wiped out and more than 2,000 people have been captured. The remaining soldiers do not dare to come to Yanzhou anymore and fled north in embarrassment."
Hearing Jiang Sheng's words, Shen Yi had not yet reacted. Pei Jun raised his hands directly to Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Minister Shen, the East Route Army has achieved another great victory!"
Shen Yi was naturally very happy at this moment, but his face remained as usual, and he just smiled and waved his hands: "It's as expected. I'm a thief, so it's not surprising."
He smiled and said, "Come on, keep drinking."
Although Pei Jun was a military attache, he also knew the story of the younger generation who broke thieves. Hearing what Shen Yi said, he picked up a glass of wine with emotion and toasted Shen Yi.
"Shilang Shen is now like An Shigong."
………………
Early the next morning, Pei Jun said goodbye and left.
Shen Yi gave him a few symbolic words to persuade him to stay, but seeing that he insisted on leaving, he stopped keeping him.
After all, Pei Jun came here for official business. After returning, he still had the West Route Army to lead.
Shen Yi personally rode a horse to see each other off, and the journey lasted more than ten miles before the two of them said goodbye to each other.
Pei Jun rode on his horse and said, "Shilang Shen, I heard that the Di News Division is well-informed. Can you send someone from the Di News Division to our West Route Army? You and I can exchange news and cooperate with each other in the future. It will also be easier.”
Shen Yi thought for a while and replied: "General Pei, the Di Reporting Department is directly under your Majesty. This matter requires Shen to send a document to Your Majesty. His Majesty has responded. The people from the Di Reporting Department will leave immediately to go to General Pei. go."
"By the way, I can also provide General Pei with some information from the Di Di Reporting Department."
Pei Jun was overjoyed, clasped his fists and said, "This time I came to Huai'an Army, I really benefited a lot. When the war is calmed down in the future, when I return to Jiankang, I have to invite Minister Shen for a drink."
Mr. Shen said with a smile: "When the war is over in the future, you and I should not drink in Jiankang, but in Yandu."
Pei Jun was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed.
"That's what Mr. Shen said."
"You and I will meet again in Yandu in the future!"
…
After seeing off Pei Jun, Mr. Shen hurriedly rode back to his Chinese army tent.
When he returned to his Chinese army commander's tent, Xue Wei, who had ridden back from Surabaya overnight, had been waiting in the Chinese army's tent for a long time.
Mr. Shen jumped off his mount and walked into the Chinese army commander's tent in a few steps. After seeing Xue Wei standing there, he was in a good mood. He stepped forward and gave Xue Wei a hard blow on the chest. He laughed and said: "Good boy, two In just one day, we managed to eliminate nearly 20,000 Qi people, which greatly increased the face of our Huai'an army!"
Xue Wei was hit by Master Shen, and he grunted, took two steps back, his face flushed unnaturally.
Shen Yi frowned and asked, "Injured?"
Xue Wei hurriedly said: "The injury is on the front shoulder, it affects the wound slightly, it's not in the way..."
He lowered his head and was about to clasp his fists to reply. Shen Yi shook his head helplessly and pulled him to sit down: "Generals don't have to pursue those red tapes."
Xue Wei grinned and then replied: "This battle in Surabaya was a bit strange. The Qi people's generals seemed to have no fighting spirit. After fighting for a day, they began to retreat north."
"If they fight to the end, it won't be so easy."
Mr. Shen smiled happily: "It's rare that you, my boy, have learned to be humble."
He stood up, looked at the map of Shandong that was always hanging in the handsome tent, and said with a smile.
"Your battle is over. As long as Ling Su's side performs normally, the Battle of Yanzhou..."
"Eighty percent of it is done."
