    The war on the frontline dragged on until the end of September, and finally there was a turn for the better.

    Xie Lian was ordered to lead 5,000 cavalry to cross north and confront the 100,000 Northern Qin army at Luojian in Huainan.

    The general of Northern Qin divided 50,000 troops to fight head-on, and Xie Lian also divided the cavalry into two. One of them was almost under the nose of the Northern Qin army, and it made a detour without anyone noticing, and went around the rear flank of the Qin army.

    Xie Lian took the lead from the front, leading his cavalry to charge into the enemy formation. His sword pointed at him and he was invincible.  The roundabout troops intercepted behind, and the Qin army panicked. The army, which was ten times the enemy's, panicked and quickly retreated.  The soldiers fought to cross the Huai River to escape, and more than 10,000 people drowned alone.  Xie Lian followed closely and killed the general and deputy general of the Qin army.  The army of 100,000 was completely defeated by Xie Lian's 5,000 cavalry.  For a time, the Qin soldiers were in panic. Xie Lian's name almost became a reminder. Everyone was frightened after hearing it, and the defenders of several cities in Huainan retreated without a fight.

    When the news reached Emperor Qin¡¯s ears, his 300,000 troops were facing Sima Yu¡¯s army across the Feishui River.

    It is late autumn now, the banks of Fei River are vast, and reed flowers are scattered.  Emperor Qin saw the battle on the opposite side being reorganized and majestic in the midst of the killing.  Among them was a man with a golden helmet and golden armor. The sun was setting, and his appearance was like that of a heavenly general. He was as handsome as anyone else.  I felt a tremor in my heart.

    Then he raised his riding whip and pointed it, asking the people around him, "Who is that young general?"

    Standing next to him was the surrendered general of the Southern Dynasty.  Forced by the situation, he accepted the surrender, but his heart was still in the south. He immediately said: "That is the prince of the Southern Dynasty. He was the one who attacked the Jiangbei camp at night in Xiangyang last year and defeated General Murong."

    Murong Jun was known as the God of War in the Northern Dynasties. When he said this, there was an immediate commotion among the Northern Qin army generals.

    Emperor Qin was confused for a moment and said: "What a brave young man. The Xie Lian reported from Luo Jian also sounds very familiar."

    "He is Taifu Xie's nephew. Xie Lian and Wei Lang, who is currently guarding Xiangyang, are both the prince's arms. They both fought against General Murong when they were in Xiangyang. I think General Murong must have mentioned them in his battle report."

    Emperor Qin nodded and said: "There are still talents in Jiangnan."

    Although he tried to remain calm, he couldn't help but regret his hasty and frivolous words when he thought of the advice given by the prime minister before his death, saying that "the kings are wise and the ministers are wise" in the Southern Dynasties.  There was already a look of embarrassment on his face.

    On the east bank of Feishui River, Sima Yu was waiting in formation.

    But then again, the two armies were approaching the river bank to form formations, looking across the water, and there was no way they could fight.  Because no one would be stupid enough to cross the river under the nose of the enemy.  There is bound to be another roundabout way to divide the troops and sneak across the Feishui River.

    "Where is Xie Lian?" Sima Yu asked Wang Yan beside him.

    "After defeating Liangrong's army, we rushed across Luojian. We are now rushing along the Huai River and can arrive as early as tomorrow morning." Wang Yan said.

    "What's going on with the Qin army?"

    Wang Yan said: "Not yet" This child was always cautious in his words and would not easily speculate. However, after hesitating for a moment, he still said, "I look at it, they seem they haven't thought about crossing the water to fight."

    Sima Yu smiled and said: "It's because I'm afraid of being beaten by Ahu, so I'm delaying it."

    Xie Lian's five thousand men easily defeated the Northern Qin army of one hundred thousand. Now there are fifty thousand troops on the east bank of Feishui River.  The Northern Qin army calculated by multiplication and felt that their army of 300,000 was a little overhang, and felt very timid.  Although they clearly have an absolute numerical advantage, they dare not take the initiative to attack.

    "We haven't fought yet, and we lost the battle first. This battle may be more optimistic than we expected." Sima Yu said, "But it doesn't matter. If they don't come to fight, we will take the initiative to find them."

    Xie Lian arrived as quickly as possible.  But he was not in a hurry to get back together with Sima Yu.

    The young general made a big circle, went east to relieve the siege of Luojian, and eliminated the hidden worries of being attacked from both sides. Then he circled west and returned to the front line, catching the Qin army by surprise and unprepared to cross the Huai River twice and avoid the enemy.  After opening the Feishui Qin army's defense line, they once again got behind the Qin army.  He was actually the detour unit of the Southern Dynasty army, but he nested a small detour within the big detour, boldly repeated his old tricks, and succeeded again.

    In his hands, the plans are not new, the troops are not stuck in the same old routine, and they are flexible and ever-changing, always making the enemy guess and guard against them.

    At this time, Emperor Qin did not know that a sharp knife had been inserted into his back, and was sending people to persuade Sima Yu to surrender.

    Sima Yu received the envoy simply and neatly, and refused even more bluntly: "I have the ambition to die in battle, but I have no intention of surrendering to the enemy. Bring my reply to your lord. You pressed the Huai River and set up a formation, making it impossible for me to cross the river."  If this stalemate continues, it is bound to be a protracted confrontation, and neither side will benefit. Why don't you retreat for a while, wait for me to cross the river and form an array, and then fight to decide the male and female. How about we decide quickly? "

    ? ??Less.

    Sima Yu smiled and said, "Shhh - the walls have ears. I show it to you to put your mind at ease."

    Wang Yan suddenly didn't know what to say - Sima Yu didn't know yet. What Wang Yan was worried about wasn't the war. Anyway, he had Xie Lian and Sima Yu to worry about, so he just had to trust them.  What he worried about was that if he won too quickly, he would not have time to make arrangements, and Sima Yu, a chubby little sheep, would suddenly be exposed in front of all the big bad wolves with bared teeth, but what could he do?

    "Hey, why do you seem more worried?"

    Wang Yan: I have nothing to say to you, a bastard!

    ¡ª¡ªCompared with Wei Lang, Xie Lian, and Sima Yu, Wang Yan is still too thin and tender.

    Sima Yu circled his neck and rubbed his head, "Okay, don't worry. I know what's bothering you. I'll go back after the battle tomorrow."

    "Well¡­¡­"

    "It's been a long time since I saw your sister." Sima Yu said with a smile, "I can't even sleep thinking about it."

    "Hello¡­¡­"

    But Wang Yan had to admit that it would be too cool for Sima Yu to really leave after the fight tomorrow.  Let the big bad wolves bare their teeth and blow in the wind!  The conspiracy that can be played on the front line, when it comes to Jianye City, you can try it against His Highness the Crown Prince!

    "The trouble that he couldn't solve even if he scratched his scalp was so calm and indifferent in the hands of Sima Yu - of course he went home to hug his wife and so on, but Wang Yan pretended not to hear it.

    "But is it okay for His Highness to just leave like this?"

    "There's nothing wrong with it." Sima Yu said with a smile, "Military glory is useless in my hands, so why bother fighting with Ahu and Achou? And once defeat turns into victory, what's the next step?"

    Wang Yan thought for a while and said: "Pursue while we are victorious" His face became fascinated for a moment, "Recover the lost ground and drive the barbarians as far as we can."

    "Everything must be taken advantage of." Sima Yu said, "But if I am here and the battle is decided on the front line, will they ask me for instructions?"

    ¡­If you ask for instructions, it will inevitably delay the fight. If you don¡¯t ask for instructions, it will become arbitrary.  Where to go, the generals who command the troops will probably be worried about their future.  Moreover, the number of troops is already small. To protect Sima Yu's safety, the troops must be divided.  Otherwise, Sima Yu would have no choice but to rush to the front line - but he was the prince, and the responsibility of inheriting the country could not tolerate any mistakes.

    Thinking about it this way, it is the best choice for Sima Yu to return to Jianye.

    Being able to not be blinded by the merits and glory and make an instant decisionWang Yan also had to admire Sima Yu's courage and decisiveness.

    "And I really feel a little tired." Sima Yu stretched, "It will probably take a while to regain my strength when I go back. Just don't get seriously ill." He said, "I don't want to hold on.  " (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
