Chapter 1446 Dilemma of Life and Death (Page 1/1)

Shenpeng sat in the wall with white hair. Although it was covered with a lot of grass clippings, it was as tickled as possible.

Shen Ying stood outside the threshold, his nose sore, and tears burst out from his eyes. After not seeing each other for two days, Shen Pei lost weight and took off her figure. The originally well-tailored single clothes seemed a little empty. Although her body was as straight as possible, the uncontrollable tremor still exposed his weakness.

Hearing the sobs, Shen Pei was stunned for a moment, slowly turned her head, and seeing that it was Shen Ying, her eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Shu Zi, it's not too late to cry when Naiweng dies."

Shen Ying did not dare to refute, so she quickly took out her hand towel and wiped away the tears. Someone took a mat and threw it outside the threshold. Shen Ying thanked him, sat down on the mat, took out some wine and food, and arranged them one by one. Shen Pei frowned slightly. "Is it a stern wine?"

"No." Shen Ying whispered: "I have already negotiated with General Sun. As long as 300 war horses are delivered, I can take my father back to the camp. I heard that my father has not had a drip of water in two days, so I brought some wine and food, and asked my father to use it and take care of his health."

Shen Pei snorted, and her deep-sleeping cheeks flushed. She felt very upset and couldn't help coughing twice. "The defeated general is just to die, why bother to do this? Berger, I have a few words to tell you, and then I can set out on the road with peace of mind."

Shen Ying was silent for a moment. "Father, I am not here for myself, but also for the order of the lord general."

Shen Pei's eyes showed a strange color. "Oh?"

"Qu Yi was defeated by Longyuan, his father was defeated by Huangshui, and the soldiers in Jizhou were severely injured. The dead were all over the road and the injured were all over the camp. Nowadays, people are volatile and morale is depressed. They are scared when they hear Sun Ce's name. Three or four people say harmony, five or six people say retreat, and less than one or two people say war. The lord wanted to fight, but he didn't know where to start. If he wanted to know the battle, why did Qu Yi die in the battle and ask for advice from his father, so he did not hesitate to say good gifts and sluts to wait for the flying of the Tengshes."

Shen Pei looked at Shen Ying coldly. "Who taught you what to say? Why, I was scared and dared not lead the troops anymore. I want to be a lobbyist?"

Shen Ying blushed and lowered her head, and did not dare to look directly at Shen Pei. Seeing this, Shen Pei couldn't bear to say anything more. He knew Shen Ying's character, and if it weren't for the situation, he wouldn't have come to ask Sun Ce so much. He thought about it and felt that what Shen Ying said was reasonable. This defeat was no longer his own failure, but also related to Yuan Shao's hegemony and the future of Jizhou people, especially those in southern Ji.

"What about Xun Xiuruo?" Shen Pei took the wine glass from Shen Ying's hand and took a sip. The wine entered his throat, cool and a little hot, unknowingly nourishing his already withered heart.

Shen Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Pei asked Xun Yan, which showed that he was not dead yet and had the intention to win. Ju Shujiao's words worked. He talked about Xun Yan's situation, especially when Min Jian, Yin Kai and others disobeyed at the battle. Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to severely punish them. In this battle, Xun Yan's losses were not small, but the losses of Yingchuan soldiers were limited, and the casualties were mainly from Qu Yi's old subordinates. If Min Jian, Yin Kai and others were dealt with by military law, and the Jizhou faction would be severely damaged again, the Ru Ying faction would be even more powerful, and it would inevitably be suspected of being a guest to bully the master in the future.

This is something that Shen Pei absolutely cannot tolerate. As long as he can't let go of this matter, his desire to die will not be so firm.

After listening to Shen Ying's narration, Shen Pei's expression had not changed much, but her eyes moved. Tuo Yi Longyuan was defeated, but Xun Yan attracted a lot of experience from it. He had learned about the relevant situation from Xun Yan before, and originally thought he had known it well, but now it seems that Xun Yan may have reservations, or Xun Yan's experience cannot be expressed in words, but he can take action.

If he was not quickly defeated by Sun Ce and had more than half a day of support, Xun Yan might be able to break the road moves and overcome Huangshui. In that case, this battle might be a completely different result. However, his defeat now is not good for the overall situation and has no big impact on Xun Yan, which makes him well-managed.

If I die, who else in Jizhou can be Xun Yan's opponent? Zhang He or Ju Hu? Shen Pei thought about it but couldn't find a suitable candidate. Neither Zhang He nor Ju Hu were ideal candidates. Zhang He was not only a martial artist, but also a native of Hejian, Ju Hu was from Jinan, but he was too young and had the experience of being captured. The strength of the Ju family was limited. His promotion journey would not go smoothly, at least it could not be compared with Xun Yan.

On the one hand, he was his own dignity, and on the other hand, the interests of the people in southern Hebei were difficult to achieve both. Shen Pei was very entangled. Shen Ying saw it and was happy in his heart. Following Ju Shu's guidance, he quietly persuaded Shen Pei. On the other hand, he advised him to put the overall situation first and not to commit suicide. On the other hand, he advised him to take revenge as the key to follow Meng Mingshi's story. Although Shen Pei did not agree, he did not want to die again.

The father and son talked for a while, and Shen Ying said goodbye. He and Guo Jia finalized the details of the transaction, hurriedly left Xinzheng, and rushed to the camp. As an envoy, he did not need to detour Yuanling, but went directly to Qihujian, and could go back and forth in half a day.

After seeing off Shen Ying, Guo Jia returned to the Central Army to report to Sun Ce about the incident. When Shen Ying was talking to Shen Pei inside, he stood next door. He could hear clearly what the Shen father and son said, and at this moment he told Sun Ce in detail.

"General, you have thought about it. It is not a good thing for us to let Shen Pei go back now. Although it can allow the Jizhou Group and Ru Ying Group to continue to fight internally, Shen Pei suffered a heavy blow and was determined to win. He will temporarily cooperate with Xun Yan to study our tactics, which will cause us a lot of trouble."

Sun Ce twisted his fingers and slightly shook his head. He and Guo Jia had some differences on whether to let Shenpeng go back.

Guo Jia did not object to letting Shen Pei go back, but he thought it would not work now. Shen Pei could not be a famous general, but he was also a smart person. This time he lost the battle, he would definitely attract lessons next time. Shen Pei was a famous scholar in Jizhou. He had a respectable status in the minds of the soldiers of Jizhou and had an influence that was beyond ordinary people. He was arrogant and was greatly humiliated by this shame. He would definitely fight to the death if he had the opportunity to take revenge. Then it would be another tough battle.

Within ten days, although Sun Ce won two battles in Longyuan and Huangshui, he suffered great casualties and needed time to renovate and replenish them. Especially in the battle of Huangshui, more than 2,000 soldiers were seriously injured and needed time to treat and recuperate.

In response to these situations, Guo Jia's opinions can be put on, but now he is not allowed to let Shen Pei, and Shen Ying and others dare not act rashly. Sun Ce can deal with Yuan Shao wholeheartedly. When he defeats Yuan Shao, he will let Shen Pei go back and let Jizhou and Ru Ying fight infight.

It cannot be said that Guo Jia has a bad opinion, but everything has two sides. What if Yuan Shao is guilty and decides to retreat? What if Xun Yan takes this opportunity to seize military power? For Sun Ce, Xun Yan, who is in his prime, has definitely more potential than Shen Pei. Moreover, Xun Yan is a Ru Ying faction, and he will support Yuan Tan, but Shen Pei opposes Yuan Tan. In the case where he is temporarily unable to attack Jizhou, if the Jizhou faction suffers severe damage and the Ru Ying faction is the dominant one, he is equivalent to having a mortal hatred with the people of Jizhou, but he has pulled Yuan Tan into assassination.

He doesn't want to do such a thankless thing. It is more practical to weigh the pros and cons and exchange the review for hundreds of good horses.

"He may not be able to understand some things, but he may not be able to learn them." Sun Ce smiled slightly, confident.
