It's early summer now. If you're in the south, it might be a little hot, but the weather is pleasant along the way from Yanjing to Liaodong.
Master Shen, who had been trapped by military affairs in his early years and later by documents, finally had a few days of leisure. Together with his two ladies, he traveled while having fun.
The journey that originally took more than ten days took the group more than a month to reach Yongning Mansion near Shanhaiguan.
This is not very far from Yanjing, only 600 roads away.
Originally, Shen Yuan's family lived in the Kingdom of Korea and opened a new city between Korea and Zhu Zhenren. However, because both wives were pregnant, at Shen Yi's suggestion, the family moved to the country two months ago. He moved back to the pass and moved to Yongning Prefecture, the city closest to Shanhaiguan.
This is also the place where Su Ding garrisoned troops. The entire Shanhaiguan camp is located in this city.
After Shen Yi and his party entered Yongning Mansion, before they saw Yongning Mansion City, General Su Dingsu and Shen Yuan went out of the city to greet them from a distance.
When he saw Shen Yi dismounting, Su Ding, who had always been cautious, couldn't help but feel a little excited. He stepped forward and knelt on one knee respectfully, lowered his head and saluted: "Mr. Shen!"
Mr. Shen quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "No need to salute, no need to salute."
Shen Yuan also knelt aside and saluted Shen Yi, his mother and his second wife.
He was helped up by Lu Ruoxi, who probably hadn't seen his son for a long time. Lu Ruoxi pulled him to ask questions, asking how his two "daughter-in-laws" were doing now.
Shen Yi, on the other hand, was traveling with Su Ding and asked about the recent situation in Shanhaiguan.
General Su was half a step behind Shen Yi. He reported the military situation in detail, and then concluded: "After Zhu Zhenren suffered a loss, he is now more cautious. We at Shanhaiguan may not be able to see Zhu Zhenren all year round. We can only go outside the customs. Only then can we see..."
"The general also heard that Zhu Zhenzhen's internal people are very dissatisfied with their Zhu Zhen Khan, and trouble may arise at any time."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "I have been a master in Guan Nei for more than seventy years, and now I suddenly have to go back for hunting. Some of them can't even ride a horse. How can they feel comfortable?"
"That Zhu Zhenhan Zhao Xuan has been able to suppress Zhu Zhenzhen for so many years..."
"It's extremely difficult."
Shen Yi said softly: "Although Emperor Zhaowu himself is not good, his son is really good. If Zhao Xuan was the one who ascended the throne instead of Zhao Kai, our Northern Expedition would have been till now..."
"Maybe it's not over yet."
Su Ding nodded and said, "That little guy is indeed a character."
Shen Yi put his hands on his sleeves and said with a smile: "Fortunately, he is already too clever to make a meal without straw."
"There are so many people in the world, but he has nowhere to display them and is of no use."
Shen Yi yawned and said, "Brother Su's son is watching over Quanzi in Gaoli, right?"
"yes."
General Su said quickly: "Su Fang will temporarily handle the military affairs over there on behalf of the young Marquis."
After a pause, he continued: "Since the last time Shen Gong's soldiers surrounded Shengjing, Zhu Zhenren has become a lot more honest. During the long time Su Fang was in Goryeo, except for occasionally seeing a few Zhu Zhenren's scouts, he even I have never seen Zhizhen Zhu’s scattered army.”
Shen Yi said "hmm" and said slowly: "Zhenren Zhu has lost his riding and shooting skills back then. Now he has learned from us Han people and has become a Shengjing. He has also lost his ability to pull."
"They... within twenty years, until a new generation grows up, they won't be able to do anything again."
Su Ding nodded first, and then said: "The general received news that Liu Mingyuan is ill in Japan. He is ill..."
"It's quite serious."
It took Su Ding several years to finally conquer Japan's main island. After he left Japan, Liu Mingyuan succeeded him and concluded the remaining war in Japan.
Shen Yi frowned at first, then whispered: "I don't know about this."
"General, I just received the news."
Su Ding sighed and said: "General Liu, who is also fifty years old, is on an expedition overseas..."
Mr. Shen said silently: "I will write him a transfer order in two days and let him come back to recuperate if he can come back."
Unknowingly, except for Xue Wei, who is still young, the first generation generals of the Huai'an Army have begun to grow old.
Su Ding nodded in agreement.
He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Mr. Shen, I think the time is now ripe to start thinking about destroying Zhenren Zhu."
"As long as you plan for a few years, you will be at least 80% sure."
Shen Yi said softly: "It is not difficult to defeat Zhenren Zhu, and it will not be difficult to capture what they call Shengjing, but it may not be easy to completely destroy Zhenren Zhu."
"By then, Da Chen will have at least half a fist in Liaodong."
Shen Yi said softly: "My idea is to attack their Shengjing every few years. In order to defend the city, they will consume their own strength."
"If we really want to drive them out of Shengjing City and scatter them, how can we find them?"
Su Ding was silent.
After a while, he looked up at Shen Yi and said, "Mr. Shen, are you..."
"Do you have any other concerns?"
Mr. Shen also stopped, looked at Su Ding, and then said silently: "Xue Wei has to deal with the Tatars, and Ling Su's troops cannot leave the capital in a short time. Brother Su's troops have to take action, even if Even if we capture Shengjing, we will all die."

"I think the gain outweighs the loss."
He patted Su Ding on the shoulder, then turned to look at Shen Yuan, and said silently: "Just wait a minute, Zhu Zhenren from Liaodong will leave it to the children to practice in the future."
Su Ding bowed his head deeply: "I finally understand."
Shen Yi raised his head and looked at Yongning Fucheng in the distance, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. If we don't rush into the city, it will be dark."
"Let's go to the city first. I'm going to stay here for ten days and a half at least. Let's talk slowly."
Su Ding was stunned and asked: "Mr. Shen, where are you going?"
"Walking along the border, first go to Xue Wei's place to have a look at Datong's defense, and then see if it's too late."
"If I have time, I would like to go to Xi'an Mansion to visit. If I don't have time..."
Shen said silently: "Just transfer from Datong and return to Yanjing."
The two of them said a few words, and Shen Yi's family got on the carriage again and hurried to Yongning Mansion.
In the evening, the family finally entered Fucheng. Under the guidance of Shen Yuan, they quickly arrived at Shen Yuan's residence.
At this time, Shen Yi's two grandchildren have been born, both boys.
They are the children of Princess Li Wanjun of Goryeo and her concubine Su Jin.
The two grandchildren were very coincidental. They were born only three days apart. The one born to Li Wanjun was three days older and was Shen Yuan's eldest son.
The other one is the second son.
Lu Ruoxi and Shen Yi, each holding the other in their arms, were overjoyed.
Shen Yuan stood aside and looked at his happy parents. He couldn't help but smile. He looked at his parents and said with a smile: "Mom and Dad, the two children were born less than ten days ago. They have been waiting for you. The second elder comes here to give me a name."
Lu Ruoxi raised her head and looked at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "My husband is Hanlin, I will give him the name."
Lord Shen looked at these two grandsons and felt infinite emotion in his heart.
He thought carefully, then touched his eldest grandson's eyebrows and said, "This child should be named Cheng."
"another…"
He looked at his grandson, smiled and said, "Just choose the word "an"."
Shen Yuan wrote them down one by one and said happily: "Now, they finally have names."
The family got together and were happy for a long time. After finishing the meal, Shen Yuan asked: "Dad, is Sang Sang pregnant?"
Shen Yi said "hmm" and said, "When your sister gives birth, your father will have to rush back."
"Hey."
Shen Yuan smiled: "If my sister gives birth to a son, wouldn't he be the future emperor of Chen?"
"It's amazing."
Mr. Shen glanced at him silently and shook his head slightly.
"Don't talk nonsense, you are a parent, you have to..."
