With Ling Su's calm temperament, being able to ask such questions in such a hurry shows that he is really anxious.
Shen Yi shook his head: "I have just arrived at your military camp, and I don't know the movements of the left army yet. If you ask me, who should I ask?"
Ling Su finally came to his senses, bowed slightly and said, "The general has lost his composure, don't blame Mr. Shen."
"It's not your fault, it's not your fault."
Shen Yi sat down in the big tent and said, "If I were you, I would be even more anxious."
Ling Su was silent for a while and sighed slightly: "Mr. Shen, this time, our right army is fighting a tough battle again..."
Shen Yi looked up at Ling Su, shook his head slightly and said: "Although the battle here is not easy to fight, I allow you to retreat. If it doesn't work, you can retreat all the way to Shandong to fight. There is a lot of room for strategic detours."
"It can only be regarded as a tough battle, but it cannot be regarded as a bitter battle."
When Mr. Shen said this, he looked up at Ling Su and continued: "After Xue Wei defeated Luoyang, he went all the way north to Shanxi. Until now, if we ignore his new recruits, his vanguard army, I’m afraid there are less than half left now.”
"It almost changed from the main force to the partial force."
"Today, he is still fighting with the Tatars in Datong Mansion, and he has not even retreated to the south of Yanmen Pass."
Having said this, Shen Yi looked at Ling Su and continued: "And how many people are there in your right army now? Leaving aside the imperial army led by Wei Xiong, there are only fifty or sixty thousand people?"
"So, don't complain easily."
Shen Yi reached out and knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice: "I used to say that I wronged the Right Route Army. I have nothing to say, but this time, and until now, it is the Pioneer Army that I have wronged."
"Don't complain."
Ling Su nodded immediately and said, "General, your vision has become narrow."
"The general doesn't have any other intentions. It's just that the defense of the Conquering South Army is currently empty. I'm a little curious about whether General Su has made any moves."
Shen Yi nodded and said, "I sent him a letter, urging him to take action when the opportunity arises."
Speaking of the gap in the north of the Left Route Army, Mr. Shen couldn't help stroking his hands and said with a smile: "When I was in Shanxi, I received a report from the Di News Department. I could hardly believe it. I had more than 10,000 people. The partial division, in a place that is not very important and not very eye-catching, has more than 30,000 people stationed there, staring at you with big eyes and small eyes!"
"Ha ha."
"It's a huge bargain for nothing!"
Mr. Shen has always been a very calm person, but even so, he couldn't help but beam with joy now.
Because no one understands better than him, the person in charge of the overall situation, what the fact that the Southern Conquest Army sent 30,000 people to garrison Cangzhou actually means.
This not only means that the Southern Conquest Army has destroyed its 30,000 elite troops, but also means that extremely serious divisions have occurred within the Northern Qi Army.
This separation even caused them to no longer be able to work together when facing a life-or-death national war!
Originally, if we look at the entire battlefield, the strength of the Huai'an Army and the entire Dachen Army is actually stretched thin. No matter which battlefield it is on, it is somewhat insufficient.
And now, because of the "godly hand" of the Zhou family and his son, Mr. Shen has carefully calculated that the power he can mobilize on the entire battlefield seems to be just enough!
Ling Su stood next to Shen Yi with a look of astonishment on his face: "The general thought you had reached some agreement with that Zhou Yuanlang..."
Mr. Shen glanced at Ling Su and shook his head slightly: "General Ling, this is how naive you generals are in some aspects."
He paused and continued: "Unless I hold something in my hand that can kill the Zhou family and his son at any time, as long as I let him go, even if he agrees to go back in my military camp, I will put up a flag." If you rebel, then attack the capital of Yan."
"They can't be counted."
Mr. Shen said in a leisurely tone: "And after he leaves, if he does anything that is beneficial to us, then first of all, it must also be beneficial to the father and son."
"General Ling must remember this."
Mr. Shen said with a smile: "In the future, you will also be an official in the court. If you want to be friends with someone in the future, or want to stay together, remember not to believe anything anyone says."
“Only when interests converge can we be relatively credible.”
Hearing this, Ling Su's eyes flashed at first, then he quickly lowered his head and bowed: "After the last general, even if he is an official in the court, he will always follow you, Mr. Shen..."
Mr. Shen stared at Ling Su for a few times, then said with a smile: "Everything in the world is unpredictable. No one can tell what will happen in the future. There is no need to say such words now. It is important for us to fight the battle in front of us."
Ling Su was still about to say something, when someone hurried into the commander's tent, half-knelt in front of Ling Su, bowed his head respectfully: "General, General Zhang Meng is back!"
Ling Su glared at the soldier who reported the news and said angrily: "Are you blind? Didn't you see the Marquis here?"
The messenger soldier then looked up. After seeing Shen Yi's figure, he quickly stood up, walked to Shen Yi, knelt down and saluted: "Greetings, Lord Marquis!"
Shen Yi smiled at Ling Su. He didn't care much: "I haven't been in battle for a long time. It's not surprising that the new guy doesn't know me. There's no need to blame him."
As the Huai'an army grew stronger, it was no longer like it was during the anti-Japanese army. Almost every general and even the soldiers recognized Shen Yi.
In fact, after the Huai'an army first formed and its number exceeded 10,000, it was difficult for Shen Yi to contact many low-level soldiers.
Later, as the Huai'an Army was broken into pieces and divided into several armies, this situation became more obvious. In the past, when the Huai'an Army was not separated, basically all the hundreds of thousands of households were familiar faces of Shen Yi.
By now, there are already a large number of hundreds of households with new faces that Shen Yi has never seen before.
Of course, to be more precise, they haven't been lucky enough to meet Shen Yi, the coach of the Northern Expedition.
After the messenger troops retreated, Ling Su stood behind Shen Yi and continued: "Mr. Shen, Zhang Meng's return means that another encirclement attempt by the Qi people has failed. No matter how angry Nuo Yong is, in a short time, there will be no The second encirclement may be completed.”
"Our army is here. We can pester Nuo Yong for a few days and buy some time for other friendly forces."
When Shen Yi heard this, he nodded first and was about to say something to affirm the right army. Ling Zhan, who was guarding the door, walked into the commander's tent with a letter in his hand. He did not dare to see his father. Instead, he walked to Shen Yi on his own, held the letter in both hands, lowered his head and said: "Master Marquis, this is an urgent letter from General Su from the Di newspaper department."
Shen Yi nodded and took the letter. After reading it carefully, he touched his chin and began to think about it.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Ling Zhan and teased: "Where did this document come from? It can't be fake, right?"
Ling Zhan's face turned red and he lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, this is what Brother Jiang gave me and asked me to send in. It is the autographed letter of General Su handed over by the Di News Department. It cannot be wrong."
Shen Yi handed the letter to Ling Su for inspection, and said with a smile: "Why did you not say anything after seeing your father?"
Ling Zhan lowered his head and said: "My subordinate is now the bodyguard of the Marquis, so naturally I focus on guarding the Marquis..."
"You still have to say hello when you need to, so as not to lose your courtesy."
While the two were talking, Ling Su suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Yi: "Mr. Shen, Su Anbang wants us to continue going south!?"
"You also read the letter."
Shen Yi was a little helpless: "That's how it was written. I didn't change a word, and I didn't see it much earlier than General Ling."
Ling Su put away the letter, first looked at Ling Zhan, and then looked at Shen Yi: "Mr. Shen, what do you think of this matter?"
"You can give it a try."
Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes and said softly: "It doesn't matter if you step back a hundred miles."
"The important thing is, when will Su Ding arrive, and..."
Mr. Shen's eyes were dark.
"Can we turn around and surround these Northern Qi pursuers..."
