Yesterday, he was still trapped in the lonely city as cannon fodder, where would he have thought that he might become a hero of the Ming Dynasty in a blink of an eye, not only Hu Songyue and other generals were excited, fascinated, and even Zhang Yong was very excited at this moment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhang Yong hurriedly flattered: "Lord Shen, since you said that there is no problem, then naturally there is no problem, I can trust you!" ”

Liu Xu looked at Zhang Yong with disdain...... Just now, he was picking on Shen Xi like a tendon, and now he said that there was no problem, in his opinion, this old eunuch was too unprincipled. He didn't know that a eunuch like Zhang Yong had no bottom line at all as a man, his logic was to save his life first, and then it was his turn to make a fortune.

As for fighting with Shen Xi before, Zhang Yong purely wanted to save his life, if what Shen Xi said and did could help him achieve his goal, then he could turn around and offer Shen Xi as an ancestor.

Hu Songyue said: "Lord Shen, the soldiers and horses on the three sides are personally led by Liu Shangshu, and the leader of the troops is ...... Maybe it's Liu Shangshu himself, how can you be sure that Liu Shangshu will promise you to lead the troops? ”

Shen Xi couldn't help but glance at Hu Songyue, his face was full of disappointment: "With this official's exploits in fighting the Tatars in Tumu Fort and beheading as many as 20,000 people, who can be more suitable to lead the troops than this official?" ”

Hu Songyue hurriedly explained: "Lord Shen, the last general didn't question your meaning, but just ...... Liu Shangshu, he doesn't know what's going on here! ”

Zhang Yong scolded: "Are you kid lacking in heart or what's wrong?" Now that most of the Tartars outside the city have been withdrawn, it is much easier for the fast horse to move, since Liu Shangshu doesn't know, then send someone to Datong Town to inform Liu Shangshu, this will not be a problem, right? ”

Only then did Hu Songyue react, nodding his head constantly, and even called "Gao Ming" in his mouth.

Shen Xi said: "The official will naturally send someone to inform Liu Shangshu, but at present, the soldiers are in chaos, and whether the letter can be delivered is still in the second place, and the official only wants to promise one thing, if the soldiers and horses entering Juyong Pass east pass through the civil fort, the official will ask himself if he has the ability to transfer this road of people and horses to his command...... This official is the errand of the governor of Yansui, except for the trilateral general system, who can be above this official? ”

Now the few people next to him completely understood.

Shen Xi has the confidence to lead the troops, not because he thinks how high his ability is, or because he is appreciated by Liu Daxia, but because of the problem of big and small officials.

Isn't that the case when you think about it?

There are so many generals in the northwest, no one cares about anyone when they are in a mess, and they fight for themselves, but now the situation is different, Shen Xi can't be ranked in terms of seniority, but in terms of official rank, there are only three governors above Shen Xi...... Who made the northwest of the Ming Dynasty always take the three sides as the main frontier position to resist the remnants of the Mengyuan Dynasty, and virtually elevated the status of the governor of Yansui?

Moreover, the soldiers and horses of King Qin, commanded by Liu Daxia this time, were mainly trilateral military towns, and theoretically under the rule of Shen Xi, but the position of governor of Yansui was only responsible for grain and grass logistics, and rarely led troops to go to battle.

Zhang Yong stepped forward and asked, "Lord Shen, there shouldn't be any danger before the soldiers and horses sent by Liu Shangshu arrive at Tumu Fort, right?" ”

Shen Xi said angrily: "Wouldn't it be better for Father-in-law Zhang to ask the Tatars?" This official is not a roundworm in the stomach of a Tatar, how do you know? ”

Zhang Yong's face was ashamed, he didn't go to Shen Xi to be bored again, he slipped down the city, Hu Songyue and the others stayed for the time being, and Shen Xi also had to arrange the defense of the civil fort next.

At this time, Shen Xi was still ill, and after explaining the matter, Shen Xi returned to the command post to rest, and it was not until the afternoon that the specific movements of the Tatars could be determined.

……

……

The day before Shen Xi, Wen Xiang slept with a full heart, but now it was inconvenient for him to be so "ridiculous".

Yun Liu, still dressed in men's clothes, served him carefully, prepared a brazier for him, brought hot water to him, and applied a hot towel to his face.

Shen Xi woke up in the afternoon and found that his condition had improved, the pain in his body had been reduced, and his head was not as groggy as before.

Yun Liu was busy for a long time, and he was sitting on a chair and sleeping at this time.

As soon as Shen Xi turned to the side, Yun Liu was immediately awakened, and she looked at Shen Xi with a bit of admiration and awe in her eyes, in her mind, Shen Xi had a lofty status.

"Come to bed, you've been busy these days...... Have a good rest, and after the officer is fully dressed, he will go out to inspect the barracks! ”

After Shen Xi finished speaking, he got out of bed, and when he stood up, his body shook, and he almost fell headlong, his legs and feet were weak for a while, and he felt that his body was fluttering...... The disease has never been cured!

Yun Liu hurriedly stepped forward to support Shen Xi and said, "Adults are really working hard, let's help you!" ”

Shen Xi wanted to excuse himself, but then after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed, asked Yun Liu to help him stand up, and helped him get dressed, and then walked out of the room together.

The two of them came out of the house with their front and back feet, and the guards on duty outside were not much surprised, it was no secret that Shen Xi found a "handsome eunuch" to serve in the house.

These people didn't dare to discuss it in private, but they looked at Shen Xi with a strange gaze, maybe they were worried about themselves, for fear that Shen Xi would "take a fancy to" them.

Shen Xi didn't care about these meaningful gazes, he just did his own thing.

In the army, Shen Xi is the supreme existence, even if the soldiers disobeyed him before, but after a long period of fighting, they have already admired him so much. In the beginning, he would be blinded everywhere he went, but now wherever he appears in the army, he is the heartfelt respect of the soldiers.

Shen Xi won the absolute respect of the soldiers with one tough battle after another.

Yun Liu followed behind Shen Xi, like a little fan, looking at Shen Xi's side face with reverence and admiration.

Shen Xi didn't show too much affection to Yun Liu, he knew that the promise of being able to give Yun Liu and Xi'er as concubines was already a great "gift", which was also what Yun Liu and Xi'er had always dreamed of, and finally achieved their wish.

"Lord Shen, the Tartars have withdrawn their troops, but there are still two or three thousand soldiers and horses left outside the city, mainly gathered in the camp in the west of the city, do you send someone to serve this road of soldiers and horses?"

After Liu Xu investigated the specific situation of the Tatars, he came over to ask Shen Xi for instructions.

Shen Xi asked, "Did you do the matter of replenishing the water source?" ”

"This ...... Lord Shen, it's freezing this day, even if you send someone to the big river in the south, I'm afraid it will freeze, how to replenish the water source? Liu Xu was a little embarrassed.

Shen Xi suddenly straightened his face and scolded: "If you have difficulties, you won't do it?" Has the city always relied on meltwater from snow and ice to provide drinking water? Livestock don't need to drink water, or do the prisoners of war need water? In fact, it is not so difficult to get water in winter, you only need to use an iron pickaxe to smash it hard, you can get ice cubes, even if it is piled up a little higher, you don't have to worry about the water overflowing, and it is more convenient to transport. ”

Liu Xu hurriedly saluted and said, "Lord Shen's lesson is that the last general will arrange people to replenish the water source!" ”

Originally, Liu Xu came to inquire about Shen Xi's dispatch of troops, but Shen Xi didn't care about it at all, and it seemed that he had no intention of killing Tumu Fort at all.

The fortress was originally not big, Shen Xi climbed to the top of the city, checked the situation of the enemy camp on all sides, and then sent scouts to investigate the movements of the Tatars in detail, and by the time the stove was opened in the afternoon, the soldiers knew that the Tatars had really withdrawn this time, and their morale was high for a while.

When Shen Xi was patrolling the positions in the city and outside, he heard the soldiers say big words everywhere:

“…… Shen Junmen asked us to stay in Tumubao and not leave, that relationship is good, there is no worry about food and clothing here, there is a fragrant horse meat tooth sacrifice every day, and occasionally you can drink two or two small wines, not to mention how beautiful the life is! As for the Tartars, let's destroy a wave and see who dares to find fault with nothing! ”

"When the Tartar can't hold on, let's chase and kill the past, build his mother's work, and establish his grandfather's business!"

For this kind of bragging, Shen Xi did not intervene, it is rare that the soldiers trust him now, if it is changed to before, he ordered not to leave when he got the opportunity to escape, the army will definitely complain about the hardship, where will it be like now, even if the soldiers are living in hardship, they can still have fun in hardship, and their morale is high?
