Chapter 15

When Shen Zhezi heard the news, he couldn't help but click his tongue, admiring Wang Dao's ingenious means of pulling a thousand catties even more. Although the development of the situation may not be as expected, at least he saw a situation that was about to settle down, rather than continuing to make people uneasy about the stalemate.

Shen Zhezi was not surprised by Wang Han's defeat.He had known the development of the matter earlier, and thought that Wang Dun, who was lying on the bed seriously ill, was probably yelling at Wang Han, an old servant, but the situation here was going well, so he was in a relaxed mood, so he advised his father to be calm.

Knowing that Shen Zhezi brought Yu Yi back, Shen Chong frowned and said, "Qing Que, you brought people from the Yu family from Yingchuan to take advantage of the situation to resolve the crisis? Bei Yi is not trustworthy, and I am deeply hurt by it."

Seeing his father's heartbroken expression, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but sigh.If there is a glimmer of hope, who is willing to cling to others.It was both a misfortune and a great fortune for the Shen family to fail to emerge at the beginning of crossing the river.

Unfortunately, they failed to gain enough prestige and power to seek self-reliance like the Yixing Zhou family, so they could only cling to the situation.Fortunately, those in power did not regard the Shen family as the primary target when eliminating hidden dangers in Jiangdong.

Now that the Zhou family is in decline, the Shen family is still alive. Although there is no lack of merit in the operation of the old man, in the final analysis, it is still needed by those in power.Otherwise, with the monstrous power of the Zhou family and five lords, how can the father alone be able to shake it.

Now my father wants to contact the Sanwu gentry for self-survivement, and to stand on the top of the mountain, not to mention the difficulty of it, even if it can be done by luck, it will only tear up the already precarious situation, making the already severe overseas Chinese and The relationship between the Wu people is even more antagonistic.

This is what Shen Zhezi does not want to see. To support the Northern Expedition, neither the southerners nor the northerners have enough strength, so they can only work together.Although it is still far away from realizing Shen Zhezi's long-cherished wish of the Northern Expedition, and it is difficult for him to bridge the gap between the conflicts, he wants to build a bridge in his own hands as a starting point.

Shen Zhezi patiently persuaded his father. Shen Chong really couldn't think of a better way, so he could only accept Shen Zhezi's proposal, but he still frowned and said, "What can Yu Yi do? Besides, the envoy of the Wang family is still in the camp. If we let them meet each other, I'm afraid they will see my plan of looking at both ends, and despise me even more."

"Let's put him in the cold for a while, and then worry about it." Shen Zhezi was already sleepy as he spoke, and he was really exhausted from running all the way. After all, he was only a child, and he was just recovering from a serious illness. .

-----------------

Yu Yi was in the camp, with the idea that he would be safe when he came, but he didn't feel cramped.

Although he has never met Shen Chong, but through Shen Zhezi's verbal description, he has roughly outlined the image of Shen Chong in his mind.Yu Yi is very interested in this brave and elegant patriarch of a wealthy Jiangnan family, and is looking forward to an interview with Shen Chong.

Although he has never served as a counselor in the military, Yu Yi has also seen what the state and county troops look like.Compared with the disorganized military appearance of the state and county soldiers, he was quite excited by the prohibition of the military orders of the Shen family, and his evaluation of Shen Chong in his heart went up to a higher level.

Although it is common practice to despise warriors nowadays, the gentry look down on the vulgar and humble veterans who are proud of their martial arts. The Confucian generals who are truly gracious, laughing and using soldiers, and flaunting their scarves and feather fans can still be respected by the world.Along the way, Shen Zhezi's verbal description shaped Shen Chong into this kind of image.Therefore, Yu Yi's interest in Shen Chong became more and more intense.

Of course, what moved Yu Yi the most was the current military power of the Shen family. Standing outside the barracks for a moment, Yu Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Shen is full of generosity, but because of the inferiority of the people at the time, he can only serve the king's family. Judging people by their words will lose Zaiyu; judging people by their appearance will lose Ziyu. The Wang family is in dire straits, isn’t this the tragedy of the current situation?”

With emotion on his lips, Yu Yi was thinking in his heart, how to deal with it when he had an interview with Shen Chong later.He was not worried about persuading Shen Chong, after all, Shen Chong took the initiative to find him.But he wants to subdue the other party through his talent and conversation, not just the submission forced by the situation.

Before you know it, night has come.Yu Yi didn't wait for Shen Chong's interview, and even the boy Shen Zhezi was nowhere to be seen.This made him a little dissatisfied, thinking that Shen Chong's move was suspected of being condescending.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Yu Yi's patience gradually faded, and he lingered outside the barracks.Suddenly, he saw from a distance that Liu Meng, the soldier who had accompanied him all the way before, was leading a group of soldiers into the camp surrounded by a high-ranked scholar. That Liu Meng seemed to take a look here, and then diverted around here.

Seeing this scene, Yu Yi pondered for a moment, called a servant, and ordered: "Go and ask for some toilet utensils, and by the way, find out the origin of that person just now."

After a while, the servant came back and whispered in Yu Yi's ear for a while.Yu Yi's complexion changed, and he was furious. He stamped his feet and shouted: "I don't believe you, don't believe me! Such a fat Shen Shiju broke his promise, how dare he tease me like this!"

He was so annoyed that he forgot that Shen Chong had never made any promises to him from the beginning to the end, and he had never even met him.

While sitting in the barracks angry, Shen Zhezi, who had never shown up that day, appeared outside the door. Seeing the young man who had taken him here, Yu Yi became even more angry, pointed at Shen Zhezi and asked, "Where is your father?" ? Have you come to see me without a face?"

Shen Zhezi walked into the barracks with low eyebrows, bowed to the ground without saying a word, and then said with a gloomy expression: "Please Mingfu to come here, it's all my own work done by Meng Lang, and my father doesn't know about it. Mingfu please calm down for now , Xiaomin will send you away right now. If you have offended me, if there is a day to see you again in the future, I will take the responsibility of Jingdun and make an apology."

"Hmph! Putting the blame on the kid, but not daring to see me, I am so disappointed in your father!" Naturally, Yu Yi would not let go easily, and said bitterly after hearing the words.

Shen Zhezi's face was full of anger, he hesitated to speak, with an expression of suffering.

Seeing the young man's tangled expression, Yu Yi felt a little less ashamed and angry, and subconsciously asked, "Is there any secret in this, it's not convenient for you to reveal it to me?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhezi suddenly covered his face and wept: "Wang's army suffered a small defeat, and repeatedly sent envoys to urge my father to send troops... My father knew that he had no face to see Mingfu again, so he just asked me to send you out of the barracks immediately... "

When Yu Yi heard Wang Jun's small defeat, he was overjoyed at first, then when he saw Shen Zhezi's pity, he pondered again and said, "So, your father is planning to send troops to rebel?"

"I don't know, my father didn't let me ask more questions, but just asked me to apologize to Mingfu."

Shen Zhezi wiped his tears, and said: "The boy has no shape, and the Ming Dynasty laughed at me. I will send you away while it is still early."

Yu Yi was silent, but his heart was turbulent, his thoughts flowed quickly, he lowered his head and walked to the door of the barracks, but his footsteps stopped suddenly, and he stroked his forehead and said: "I suddenly feel a little unwell, and I will rest in the camp for a night first, you Come back tomorrow morning."

"What's wrong with the Ming family? I'll send the military doctor over immediately." Shen Zhezi said hastily when he heard this.

"No need, it's just that you're overworked, just take a rest." Yu Yi waved his hand and told Shen Zhezi, "It's just a minor ailment. You don't have to bother your father, lest he blame you."

Shen Zhezi nodded and said: "The Ming Mansion, you should rest well, I will come back tomorrow morning to see you off."

Not long after Shen Zhezi left, another soldier sent a box of items. Yu Yi asked the servant to open it, and saw that it was full of calligraphy, paintings, books, rare objects and other elegant things, as if it was an apology.

"Master, this Shen Chong is about to rebel, we should leave as soon as possible, why should we stay?" a servant worried.

Yu Yi sat back, was silent for a while before sighing: "The Wang family was powerful before, but Shen Chong was hesitant and dared not act. Now that his army is newly defeated, he wants to respond with his troops instead. With his resourcefulness, don't you know that if you act rashly? To die, to sit comfortably and live? The so-called unity of kindness and righteousness, the loss of grounds for advance and retreat, and the anxiety of his heart, it is really hard to tell others."

"My brother said that my vision is still shallow, and I was a little bit annoyed before. Now it seems that this is exactly the case."

Yu Yi said with emotion: "Earlier, I misunderstood Shen Shiju. When I heard the young man from the Shen family tell his secrets, I realized that Shen Chong is a true believer who is good at loyalty and clumsy at seeking his own life. The ancients said that it is better to win Jibu Yinuo than to win a thousand pieces of gold. Shen Chong is such a righteous man!"

Speaking of this, Yu Yi's eyes were full of brilliance: "Since I am at the right time, how can I sit back and watch the loyal bones be thrown away lightly, and the blood of righteousness is wrongly paid!"

————————————————————

At midnight, there was a sudden commotion in the camp.

Shen Chongrong was dressed in armor, and rushed to the source of the riot surrounded by his personal guards. When he arrived at the scene, by the light of the burning torch, he saw Yu Yi standing in front of the barracks in white clothes with blood splattered on his shirt, and two brave warriors behind him. The servant held a sword to protect him, and there were two bloody corpses lying on his feet. They were the messengers sent by Wang Han.

Although surrounded by heavy soldiers, Yu Yi acted as if he had never seen him. When he saw a Confucian general approaching, he guessed that it was Shen Chong.Standing on the same spot, he cupped his hands and said with a big laugh, "I am from Ban Dingyuan, and I will solve the dilemma for you. General Shen invited me here, how can I pass by and not see you?"
