Naturally, Su Ding would not refuse these "people from all walks of life" coming to help.
But we can't just let them go to the battlefield directly.
Even if these people have some skills, if they are allowed to enter the battlefield in plain clothes without armor, it is no different from dying. Moreover, they do not know the battle formations, and they will not have any cooperation with the Huai'an army officers and soldiers.
However, it is still okay to let them do some side work.
For example, if they have people in Tai'an city, they can be allowed to cause trouble for the Qi army in the city when they attack by force, or they can be allowed to stay in the city and wait for the right opportunity to persuade the Tai'an defenders to surrender.
Moreover, although these skilled warriors are not suitable for fighting on the battlefield, they are very suitable for individual combat. They can be used to help find out information or assassinate some Qi army officers.
Although Su Ding became a monk halfway, after joining the Huai'an Army, he has been strictly following Shen Yi's combat ideas. Mr. Shen has taught them many times to unite all forces that can be united. These people in the world are obviously a very worthy force. The power of unity.
As a result, the smile on Su Ding's face became a little more enthusiastic. He held Guo Xing and talked for a long time before starting to discuss combat ideas.
"Guo Zhuangshi, there are tens of thousands of people fighting in the frontal battlefield, and they are all wearing armor. It is not suitable for the martyrs to participate. Su's intention is to let the martyrs cooperate with our army's scouts to find out the news about Tai'an and the entire Jinan Prefecture."
"It would be even better if we could help and kill a few generals from the Qi people's army camp and cause them to cause local chaos."
"Of course, what we need most right now is not information about Tai'an, but information about Jinan City."
Guo Xing patted his chest and said carelessly: "General Su, don't worry, many of us are locals of Jinan Prefecture, and we are very familiar with the entire Jinan Prefecture."
"You can help General Su to find out the news in and outside the city."
"Since General Su has given the order, Xiaomin will go and arrange it now so that the brothers can get busy."
His eyes were excited: "General Su may not know that now the entire Jinan Prefecture, and even the people of Shandong, are all looking to Da Chen, waiting for Master Wang to capture Jinan Prefecture and rescue us!"
Su Ding smiled and said: "With the help of Guo Zhuangshi and other righteous men, it is only a matter of time before Jinan can be liberated."
"When success is achieved in the future, the imperial court and Duke Shen will not forget your contribution."
…………
Half an hour later, Su Ding personally sent Guo Xing and others away.
After seeing them off, Su Ding called over a young man in civilian clothes who was following the left route army.
This young man's name is Xiao Peng. He is the contact person of the Zuo Route Army of the Di News Department. He is usually responsible for the contact between Su Ding and Shen Yi.
After seeing Su Ding, Xiao Peng lowered his head slightly: "General."
Su Ding waved his hand slightly, indicating that he was welcome, and then said: "Brother Xiao, you should already know that some people from the world are here today."
"It's a good thing that they want to help, but you can't trust them all when they come unexpectedly."
"Please also inform Mr. Shen about what's going on here as soon as possible and ask him to send someone to help keep an eye on it."
Xiao Peng nodded first, then thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Sizheng will naturally be informed of the matters here, but the general does not need to be too careful. Now the people of Shandong are indeed restored."
"And among Guo Xing and others..."
He said softly: "There are people from our newspaper department."
Su Ding was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "It's only been a few years since the Di Reporting Division arrived in the north..."
This is natural. In fact, it only took seven or eight years for the Di News Agency to be established.
Xiao Peng lowered his head and said: "General, these people are a mixed bag, it's not difficult to get in."
"But it is precisely because there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons that the general is right to be careful."
Su Ding nodded, and then continued: "Brother Xiao will report to Duke Shen again, saying that our army will begin to attack Tai'an tomorrow, and almost three days later, we will begin a general attack on Tai'an City."
Xiao Peng bowed his head politely.
"I will definitely pass it on for the general."
After that, he politely withdrew.
It wasn't until Xiao Peng left the commander's tent that Su Ding suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with what Xiao Peng had called him just now.
"When did I become a general..."
Su Ding sat in his seat, touched his chin, and thought about this issue seriously.
Then his face looked a little strange.
"seem…"
He was a little lost: "There's nothing wrong..."
………………
In Yanzhou City, documents from the three armies flew to Master Shen's desk like snowflakes.
Fortunately, although Ye Chan was pregnant, she had not yet shown her pregnancy, so she could still help Shen Yi sort it out. Otherwise, Mr. Shen would be too busy by himself.
In the study room, as soon as Ye Chan finished getting the documents in his hand, Jiang Sheng brought over a dozen more documents, carefully placed them on the desk, lowered his head and said, "Sir, this is sent by Master Zhang."
Shen Yi rubbed his temples and said, "Where did it come from?"
Jiang Sheng lowered his head and replied: "Laizhou Mansion."
"Well…"
Mr. Shen muttered: "Senior brother is no longer in Qingzhou."
Jiang Sheng stood aside, lowered his head and said: "Master, I still have some things to deal with, so I'm going out first."
Shen Yi waved his hand and motioned for him to leave.
Jiang Sheng immediately retreated.
Ye Chan on the side was also a little tired and said softly: "Husband, there are too many things."
"This is supposed to be something done by the governor's office, or even the governor's office. Even if it is given to Senior Brother Zhang and the following three generals, there are still too many things to do when it comes to my husband."
Shen Yi nodded, stood up, walked behind Ye Chan, and helped her rub her head: "Chan'er is pregnant, so she can no longer work as hard as before."
"A few months ago, I sent letters to Jiankang, some to His Majesty and some to my father-in-law. Please ask them to send some people over to help me handle official matters."
"The first group of people are already on the way. They will probably arrive in the next few days."
Mr. Shen yawned and said: "When they arrive, I will feel a lot more relaxed. I will mainly make some strategic decisions."
Ye Chan was a little curious and asked: "Are you sending officials here?"
Shen Yi shook his head: "Your Majesty, you should send some Jinshi who are still in the six departments to observe the government and there are no vacancies to fill."
"As for my father-in-law, he probably asked some of his disciples who have not entered the official service to come over."
"After all, you're not here to be an official, you're just working as my staff."
Speaking of this, Mr. Shen suddenly smiled and said: "It's a pity that there is only one Chan'er in the world. If there were ten or so, there would be no need to go to such trouble. Ten Chan'ers can defeat me, the governor's Yamen. The matter is settled."
Ye Chan was a little embarrassed and lowered her head and said, "Husband, you still want to bring in ten more concubines?"
"I'm so busy right now, how can I still think about it?"
Ye Chan covered her mouth and chuckled: "What do you mean, husband, wait until you are no longer busy?"
She looked up at her husband and said softly: "I have some unmarried cousins in my hometown. When I have the opportunity to return to Fuzhou, how many more can I look for for my husband?"
Mr. Shen shook his head and laughed dumbly: "Don't be joking."
He sat back in his seat and opened several important documents in front of him.
Without exception, these documents were all sent by Ling, Xue and Su.
Shen Yi turned over it again, closed his eyes, and all kinds of information merged in his mind.
"The Battle of Tai'an has already started, and it is estimated that it will be completed in ten days at most."
"The Qi people in Dongchang Prefecture also seem to be shrinking their troops."
"Xue Wei's troops will be able to reach Qingshi Pass in a few days. By then, the strength of the left and right armies will be able to be replenished."
He slowly opened his eyes and said, "The day when the soldiers enter Jinan City is not far away."
He turned to look at Ye Chan and whispered: "I can't either. I have been staying in Yanzhou in the rear."
"When all three of my armies are in place, I will also go north to take a look at the Jinan City."
Ye Chan nodded lightly and said, "It doesn't matter, I just go with my husband."
She smiled and said: "Shandong is like this now. Wherever your husband goes, there is the governor's office of Shandong."
Mr. Shen looked at Ye Chan's flat belly and sighed: "I'm afraid it will tire your body."
"It's only been two months, it's still early."
Ye Chan said softly: "No matter what, I have to accompany my husband for a while. When the staff from Jiankang become familiar with the affairs of the governor's Yamen, I can rest peacefully."
Shen Yi nodded silently, then picked up the writing brush on the table and wrote out a series of clerical orders.
…
In late October of the fifteenth year of Hongde's reign, the Huai'an Army's left army captured Tai'an.
In the same month, the Huai'an army marched northward and entered Jinan City.
At the end of the month, Su Ding, the left route army, arrived at Jinan City.
Xue Wei, the vanguard army, led his army to Zhangqiu.
Ling Su, the right-wing army, abandoned Dongchang Fucheng and marched eastward from Pingyin to Jinan City.
The three armies of the Huai'an Army, which had been dispersed for a long time, finally reunited near Jinan City.
At this time, Mr. Shen, who had been sitting in the rear, also left Yanzhou and led the Chinese army in Yanzhou to march north.
