When Shen Xi arrived in the backyard of the governor's yamen and lived in the room arranged by Zhu Hui, he didn't even care about the minimum observation of the surrounding environment, and went directly to the bedside to close his clothes and lie down...... At this moment, his body had no strength at all, and it was difficult to even move his fingers.

Shen Xi closed his eyes and still didn't fall asleep, Song Shu rushed into the room in a hurry, and said nervously: "My lord, it's not good, I heard that Liu Shangshu's soldiers and horses were surrounded. ”

Shen Xi glared at Song Shu and asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”

"God's right general." Song Shu was out of breath and couldn't take the airway.

"Who?"

"The right staff general Shenying."

Who is Shenying?

When this goods served as the commander-in-chief of Datong, the rogue plundered Ulzhou without saving it, and as a result, Emperor Hongzhi ordered him to be dismissed. Later, this goods went through Zhu Hui's door, supervised the Guoyong battalion, and followed Zhu Hui to Yansui as a right staff general, and has been passively avoiding the war. If history had not changed, after Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, he bribed the great eunuch Liu Jin to seal the title of Jingyangbo, and as a result, Liu Jin fell, and this guy was robbed of the title and died in fear and anxiety.

Shen Xi couldn't help but feel annoyed when he heard this, who are these people, it seems that a group of wasted generals of the Hongzhi Dynasty have come together! In this way, Liu Daxia still took the initiative to do something, honestly staying on the three sides to find out the corruption case, isn't it good?

If you go outside, you must first settle inside, tie your own fence firmly, and then talk about counterattack.

"Lord Shen, what do you think should be done?" Song Shu asked.

Shen Xi asked rhetorically: "What is Deputy Song Qianhu going to do?" ”

A question stumped Song Shu, he learned that Liu Daxia was in danger, and hurried over to play Shen Xi, because he felt that the national disaster was at the head and the situation was urgent. But when Shen Xi asked this, he realized that he didn't even have the slightest right to speak in Yansui. It is true that he is a trusted cronie of Shouning Hou, but now there is a Baoguo Duke in this city who has a higher status than Shouning Hou.

In officialdom, it is difficult to see a top civil servant, but at the border, any town guard who comes out is a prince.

"You made me catch my breath." Shen Xi said, "Come with me to see Baoguo Gong later." ”

Song Shu honestly waited by the side.

Shen Xi rested a little, felt that his body had regained a little strength, then stood up and took Song Shu out of the backyard, and asked the servants, only to know that Zhu Hui had just come out of the governor's yamen.

"Is your message true?" Shen Xi asked as he walked outside the governor's yamen.

"Probably...... It's true. "Song Shu is a little unsure at this time.

Shen Xi glared at Song Shu angrily, but before he could walk out of the door, he was stopped by a handsome guard: "Lord Shen, you can't go out of the governor's yamen without the orders of your grandfather." ”

Shen Xi said angrily: "I'm Qincha, I have something to find Baoguogong, what are you stopping me from doing?" ”

The guard was very embarrassed: "Lord Shen, forgive me, we are just acting on orders from the army, you just have to wait in the governor's yamen, and we will send someone to pass it on to you." ”

Song Shu jumped out and said, "Then it's okay for me to go out, right?" ”

"Yes."

The guard glanced at Song Shu and nodded briskly.

Song Shu walked out of the gate of the governor's yamen, quickly turned back and asked, "What do you command?" ”

Shen Xi looked at Song Shu, this guy actually obeyed his words, which tendon is wrong?

"If there's nothing to do, let's try to see if we can find the ...... Baoguo" Shen Xi said this, smiling dumbly, it would be good to see Zhu Hui as the deputy Qianhu of Song Shu, where can I still arrange the dignified grandfather to do things.

Shen Xi couldn't go out, and he didn't want to go back to the backyard to rest for a while, so he returned to the main hall of the governor's yamen to wait. The young and handsome guard followed him inside, standing at the door of the main hall, his eyes looking at Shen Xi from time to time, for fear of losing people.

Shen Xi always felt that this person looked familiar, turned around and looked at him carefully, and asked, "Your Excellency, have we ever met?" ”

"The villain has been assigned to the army since he was sent and has not left Yansui for many years...... should not have a chance to meet Lord Shen. The guard looked a little stunned.

Since he was assigned to serve as an army to stay in the frontier, Shen Xi was embarrassed to ask again, he couldn't figure out when he had seen this person, and he had never been to Yansui, thinking that maybe people were similar, and he didn't know who he was confused with.

Shen Xi sat in the main hall and waited, and after about half an hour, Baoguo Gong came in from the main gate of the governor's yamen, stood still in front of the main hall, and asked in surprise, "Why didn't Lord Shen rest in the backyard?" ”

Shen Xi said: "I heard that Liu Shangshu's troops and horses were besieged by the Tatar army, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhu Hui was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hearsay may not be credible, now that there is chaos outside the city, who knows what the truth is?" Lord Shen, Ben Jue wants to wait for the evening to send some people out to clean up the corpses of the Tatars outside the West Gate, you see ......"

For the soldiers of the border army, the first rank of the Tatars is military merit, and the killing of hundreds of Tatar elite horsemen at a time makes Zhu Hui excited just thinking about it.

At this time, Shen Xi's attention was not on the dead people outside the city, he was more concerned about the situation of Liu Daxia's department.

"Baoguo Gong should send a scout horse to the north to find out the situation of our Ming attack troops and ensure the safety of their rear roads."

"Yes...... It's ......"

The dignified grandfather of the country, in front of a Hanlin official like Shen Xi, was submissive, at ease, and drunk when he thought about it. Shen Xi was depressed, but then he was relieved, when he was in the court, he showed off his might and made others afraid of him, and he had the right not to show it, so what was the use of fighting for power? But in a place like the frontier, the representatives of power have to take responsibility, and those who are cowardly will naturally pass the buck, and Zhu Hui is exactly this kind of person.

Shen Xi has no problem, Zhu Hui doesn't help him, he can't force Zhu Hui to do things, people give him face, he can't give face to shame, this will only bring unnecessary trouble to himself.

There was no way, Shen Xi returned to the backyard, lay down and wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep, as long as he thought of the terrible consequences of Liu Daxia's defeat, his heart would be uneasy, because in the border pass recital he sorted out for Xie Qian, it was indeed mentioned that some methods were needed to boost the morale of the army, including contacting the defenders on all sides of the three sides to conduct a "sortie exercise" to show off the military might.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "What I mentioned is just a 'drill', who knows if Xie Lao'er will think that the 'exercise' will cost the people and money, it is better to directly come to a real attack with a real sword, which can more invigorate the morale of the army?" If this is the case, then my sin will be great, and if there is any calamity in the Ming Dynasty, I will become a sinner in history. ”

Until the afternoon, Zhu Hui still didn't send anyone, and even Song Shu was gone.

In the evening, Shen Xi finally couldn't sit still.

For the defenders in the city, their only thought was to take the credit for the battle during the day on themselves, but for Shen Xi, this battle was already in the past.

It was an unexpected "great victory" that he had no choice but to use the artillery that imitated the Francophiles, and this victory was insignificant in the face of the current crisis, and the Tatar cavalry would not be broken by the lack of these hundreds of cavalry, and Liu Daxia would not turn the corner.

What Shen Xi wants to do now is to know the specific situation of Liu Daxia's department.

The people from the governor's yamen brought dinner, but Shen Xi didn't have the heart to eat, so he went directly to the front hall to find Zhu Hui, but after inquiring, he learned that Zhu Hui rarely came to the governor's yamen in the past few days.

"My lord, you want to find your grandfather, how about we pass it on for you?" It was the handsome guard who took the initiative to ask, which made Shen Xi very embarrassed, after all, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and there is nothing wrong with people acting on orders.

He was now afraid that Zhu Hui would know that Liu Daxia was in danger, so he deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb, and allowed the elite of the Ming border army to fall into a heavy siege.

This time, Shen Xi was in the main hall of the governor's yamen, and he didn't see Zhu Hui's people until midnight, but the handsome guards came many times to persuade him to go back to rest.

"My Daming border pass has faced the test of life and death, do I have the heart to sleep?" Shen Xi asked sharply.

This loud shout shocked the guard.

Shen Xi sat in the main hall and waited for a night, and at dawn, Shen Xi went directly to the governor's yamen, and a guard immediately came forward to stop him, Shen Xi shouted: "I am Your Majesty's personal order, whoever stops it, will be killed!" ”

Originally, this "Qincha" was just a disguise, but when Shen Xi said this, no one questioned it. It's not Qincha, can you travel thousands of miles to the border? Isn't it a cha, can you achieve a big victory that has not been seen in more than ten years? It's not Qincha, even the grandfather of the country has to be called "adult"?

In addition, for those who are soldiers, they all have a kind of admiration for heroes, although Shen Xi is young, but yesterday's battle has established a high reputation for him, and some guards and soldiers even speculate in private, this is not sent by the imperial court to assist Baoguo Gong to guard Yansui Town, right?

In the Ming Dynasty, it was basically a common practice for Wenchen to lead troops and eunuchs to supervise the army.

Zhu Hui is a military general with a knighthood in the eyes of the soldiers, and he is not the best candidate to lead the troops, but he is a civil minister like Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia, who is the minister sent by the imperial court to lead the troops.

After Liu Daxia led the army to the expedition, there was another Shen Xi, Shen Xi naturally couldn't compare with Liu Daxia in terms of age and qualifications, but in any case, Liu Daxia didn't achieve such a big victory as Shen Xi. From the perspective of actual combat, Shen Xi, who had just won the battle, was actually more suitable to be the commander of the border pass.

Of course, these are just discussions when the middle and lower class soldiers get together, and they dare not talk about this kind of thing in the open.

Shen Xi walked out of the governor's yamen, waved his hand, and ordered him to prepare a carriage.

The handsome guard asked, "Lord Shen, where are you going?" ”

Shen Xi said coldly: "Where is Baoguo Gong, I want to see him." ”

"Grandpa...... In the north of the city, the general military palace. The guard thought about it, but still told Zhu Hui's whereabouts truthfully.

Shen Xi was about to set off, and the handsome guard came over to catch the car in person...... You must know that he has to bear a certain amount of responsibility for releasing Shen Xi from the governor's yamen, Shen Xi is going to ask Zhu Hui about the situation this time, and this handsome guard is going to confess, and the two just "go together".

"How many years has this brother been a soldier?" Is it a difficult brother or a brother, Shen Xi couldn't help but ask the guard, and naturally picked up yesterday's topic.

The handsome guard sighed lightly and said, "The villain became a soldier at the age of twelve, and it has been nine years now. ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, no wonder this person said that it was impossible for each other to meet, nine years ago, he was still a little child, how could he come to a place like Yansui to meet a person who was assigned to serve in the army?

It was another cold topic, and Shen Xi wanted to say something more, but he wanted to stop talking...... For military households, being a soldier for one day will be a soldier for a lifetime, and even for generations.

"Brother Tai has a family?"

Shen Xi saw that this young man was already twenty-one years old, coupled with his dignified appearance, and he was also a personal soldier in front of the yamen of the governor of Yansui, so he thought that he would have started a family long ago.

The man sighed, "How dare a guilty man speak up? But it's good to have no relatives and no reason, you don't have to think about others after all, Lord Shen is now famous, he should have started a family a long time ago, right? ”

This made Shen Xi feel a little embarrassed, the twenty-one-year-old "older youth" worked hard in the frontier, and he was already an official in the court at the age of fourteen and had a wife and a concubine.

When you say this, it will make people feel that the world is unfair.

Fortunately, a fast horse came over to resolve the embarrassment in front of him, and the one who rode immediately was a jade girl dressed in men's clothes.

"Lord Shen stays."

Yu Niang shouted at the carriage from afar.

Shen Xi motioned for the carriage to stop, and just jumped out of the car, Yu Niang had already come over: "Lord Shen, Liu Shangshu is facing a heavy surrounding...... Is it possible to go to the country and send troops to rescue? ”

"How far?"

Shen Xi didn't talk nonsense, since Yu Niang said so, the situation must be extremely critical.

"It's about fifty miles away from the Great Wall, not near or far, but if you don't save it, it will definitely cause a catastrophe!" Yu Niang looked panicked.
