Chapter 1081

Kaifeng is the provincial capital of Henan.

Even when Shen Yi attacked Shandong, he didn't attack Jinan Mansion, but Pei Jun wanted to attack Kaifeng Mansion.

For now, that's not realistic.

Even if there are not many Qi troops in Henan, provincial cities like Kaifeng all have capital yamen, and only one commander can command about 2 people.

With 2 people guarding a large city, it would be difficult for Pei Jun's West Route Army to attack.

Pei Jun explained: "Shen Shilang misunderstood. It's not because Pei is eager for quick success, but because he is worried that there will soon be a big battle here in Shandong, and he wants to make the battle bigger in Henan, so as to share some pressure for Shen Shilang."

Shen Yi glanced at him silently, and after being silent for a while, he still opened his mouth to explain: "General Pei, the West Route Army has just taken shape. The best way to boost morale is to win battles."

"My opinion is that the West Route Army can take some relatively weak states and counties in Henan first."

Shen Yi turned around and took down a map of Henan from the table behind him.

This map is far less detailed than the map of Shandong in Shen Yi's hand. After all, his current work focus is on Shandong, and Henan is just taking a look.

After looking at the map for a while, Shen Yi pointed to Guide Mansion on the map, and said, "Please look, General Pei, this place is very close to Nanzhili, and not far from Kaifeng Mansion."

"My opinion is that it is best to fight a few battles in Guide Mansion first, so that the generals and soldiers under your command can get acquainted with each other."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi said with a smile: "If I guess correctly, most of the generals of General Pei's West Route Army are the generals of the Fifth Army Battalion."

Pei Jun smiled awkwardly and didn't answer.

This is the obvious thing.

He is the commander in chief of the Fifth Army Battalion. This time to form the West Route Army, he brought almost all of the old troops out of the Forbidden Army. The West Route Army was built with this Forbidden Army as its skeleton, so it will naturally continue to use the generals of the Forbidden Army.

It wasn't just Pei Jun who would do this. Shen Yi recruited soldiers from the Forbidden Army and the Huaihe Navy. After reorganization, most of the generals also used the Huai'an Army, and a small number of officers used the Forbidden Army and the Huaihe Navy.

"Let the generals of the Forbidden Army take the brothers under their command to fight, to test the quality of the Qi people, and also try their own skills."

"The principle of knowing oneself and knowing the enemy mentioned in the book of war, General Pei is a serious soldier, so he must understand it better than me."

Pei Jun nodded silently, and said, "What Shen Shilang said makes sense."

He stared at the map in Shen Yi's hand, and then said: "Since Shen Shilang said it, after I go back, I will consider starting with Guide Mansion."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "The West Route Army is led by General Pei after all, what I said can only be used as a suggestion."

Pei Jun shook his head, and said: "Your Majesty has already got through with Pei, and if he can cooperate with Shen Shilang, Pei will cooperate."

"Although Shen Shilang was born as a civil servant, at this moment, Da Chen and his subordinates, if you want to talk about the experience of marching and fighting, or the experience of the Northern Expedition."

Pei Jun praised sincerely: "No one in the imperial court can surpass Shen Shilang."

Shen Yi smiled dumbly: "General Pei lifted me too much, I also crossed the river by feeling the stones, trembling all the way here."

After the two chatted for a while, Pei Jun looked at Shen Yi, and continued: "Shen Yilang, to tell you the truth, this time Pei came here, in addition to discussing the progress of the Northern Expedition, he also wanted to take a walk in the Huai'an Army. one look."

After a pause, he opened his mouth and said, "Just right, the Huai'an army is now attacking Yanzhou. Mr. Pei wants to go to the battlefield to see how the Huai'an army fights."

Speaking of this, General Pei was a little ashamed, bowed his head and said: "Although Pei was born as a military general and spent most of his life in the Imperial Army, to be honest, he has only been practicing for so many years, and has never been on the battlefield much, let alone touched Qi. people."

"When things come to an end, I feel somewhat guilty."

Northern Qi, in the hearts of one generation or even several generations of Chen people, represents the word strong.

Especially people of Pei Jun's age, around 50 to [-] years old.

Although they grew up during Emperor Xianzong's time, when they were young, without exception, they all experienced the fiasco of the First Emperor's Dynasty, the battle of General Yuan, which completely ruined Da Chen's vitality for decades.

In my heart, there are some shadows.

Seeing this, Shen Yi said with a smile: "When I first met Qi people, I was a little scared, but after a few times of contact, I found that Qi people are nothing special."

Master Shen said slowly: "Of course, it may be that the current Qi people are dead, but at least, none of the Qi people that Shen has encountered so far is as brave as the records in the history books."

Master Shen was born as a scholar, so he naturally read many historical biographies in his early years. For example, Yan Wenlu recorded in detail the entire process of Qi people entering the customs 70 years ago.

At that time, there were only 10 Northern Qi cavalry.

But the Da Chen army on the battlefield was almost shattered at the first touch.According to historical records, at that time, five generals from Chen had to die to kill one real person Zhu Li, and the battle damage was astonishingly five to one.

Therefore, after the people of Qi entered the customs, they could be invincible.

However, compared with the Qi people in the history books, the current Qi people are much inferior.

Pei Jun sighed: "The battle report of the Huai'an Army, everyone who can see Pei has already seen it, and knows that the current Qi people can't take advantage of me in front of my Grand Master Chen Wang, but I don't know why, and I feel so sad I still feel that Qi people are more brave."

Master Shen smiled and said: "This is the so-called easy to break a thief in the mountain, but difficult to break a thief in the heart."

"It's hard to break your heart..."

Pei Jun repeated, thoughtfully, and then said with emotion.

"That's right, it's hard to break your heart."

Master Shen stood up and said with a smile.

"Let's go, General Pei, put on your armor."

"I'll take you to destroy the thief in your heart."

........................

On the Yanzhou City Tower, the main generals of the Northern Expedition Army on the left and right sides stood side by side in a rare way.

Shen Yi pointed to the battlefield in the distance, and said: "Look, General Pei, the south gate of Yanzhou is now open, but the street fighting in the city is not easy to fight, and it is still in a stalemate."

Pei Jun picked up the binoculars and looked at the battlefield in the city, watching intently.

After looking at it for a while, he asked, "Shen Shilang, where did those black-armored soldiers come from? Are they also from the Huai'an Army?"

Shen Yi nodded and replied: "It was originally created by a general in our army to break through the formation. I saw that it was good, so I selected the elite and organized it."

"Now…"

Master Shen thought for a while and replied, "I guess there are four to five hundred people."

"this is not bad."

"The battle is brave and unstoppable, and the people of Qi avoid it when they see it."

Pei Jun squinted his eyes and said, "After I go back, I will get one from the army."

Shen Yi smiled, but didn't answer.

The existence of this kind of special forces is naturally derived from the army throughout the ages, but they did not give them a unique battalion number and clothing like Shen Yi did.

Pei Jun looked at it for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and asked: "Shen Shilang, what is that black ball that suddenly exploded when it was thrown into the crowd of Qi?"

He turned his head to look at Shen Yi with excited eyes: "Can you give us some from the West Route Army?"

Hearing this sentence, Master Shen's expression froze, and after coughing, he replied: "General Pei, that thing..."

"There are not many in our army now."

Master Shen said helplessly: "Wait for the second half of the year, maybe I can give some to General Pei."

Pei Jun still didn't give up, and asked: "It's really not possible, just give me a few craftsmen who can make this thing, I'll take it back and let them make it themselves."

Shen Yi looked back at Pei Jun and coughed lightly.

"General Pei, this thing is almost useless in field battles, far inferior to conventional weapons."

"One day, when you are approaching the city of Kaifeng."

Master Shen said with a smile.

"You don't need it, I'll send someone to deliver it to you."

There should be more today...
