It's daybreak, and the sun is shining on the earth.
In just one night, Xie Xuan led the remaining 60,000 Beifu troops from Guangling City to the front line of Xia Shi City. At this moment, he stood on top of the Xia Shi City wall and stared at the other side, where was Bianhuangji!
Bianhuangji is not a town and has no city defenses to defend, so Bianhuangji is not a strategic location. Once Beifu's army and Fu Qin's army fight, Beifu will attack from Xia Shi, and Fu Jian will use Shouyang as his base to launch a large army. By then, the border wilderness will only become a dead place for the two armies to fight.
When he thought of the words Liu Yu brought back, Xie Xuan suddenly felt dazed. He murmured to himself: "Is it really necessary to fight a million enemies with eighteen enemies? How can this be done?"
Xie Xuan sighed secretly. At this moment, he really couldn't understand why he wanted to do this.
It's too crazy. This is beyond the imagination of people in the world. Who in the world dares to think of it? Who dares? Why does he dare! ?
Xie Xuan couldn't understand it. He couldn't understand it no matter what. Even if Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry was a magical force and could defeat Fu Jian's 50,000 forward troops without losing a single person, he didn't think that the Eighteen Cavalry could defeat him. Can fight against an army of millions.
"Xuan Shuai!"
Xie Xuan turned his head slightly, looked at Liu Yu who walked in slowly, and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out to be Xiao Yu."
Xie Xuan's white Confucian turban especially shows his outstanding and unrestrained demeanor, his ability to talk and laugh, fight with troops, and defeat the enemy with guidance. Liu Yu looked at him and was amazed.
Liu Yu said respectfully: "We marched all night yesterday. Please ask Marshal Xuan to rest early."
Xie Xuan said calmly: "It's okay!"
Liu Yu came to Xie Xuan's side and looked at the river bank with a complicated look on his face.
Xie Xuan suddenly asked: "What does Xiaoyu think of him?"
Liu Yu asked in surprise: "Shuai Xuan said that it was arbitrary?"
Xie Xuan nodded.
Liu Yu pondered for a moment and said: "My subordinates don't know much about him. I only heard his name as 'Mr. Ren' when we were in Jiankang City earlier, so we don't know much about him. But when I met him yesterday, he told me An indescribable feeling.”
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "How do you feel that you can't describe?"
Seeing the smile on Xie Xuan's face, Liu Yu felt relieved and said with a smile: "He gives me the feeling that he doesn't care much about the world, as if nothing in the world can move him."
Xie Xuan responded with a smile: "Uncle An once said of him: He knows everything from astronomy to geography. He knows everything from Five Elements and Bagua, Qimen Dunjia, Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, to farmland water conservancy, economics and military strategy. Not good."
Liu Yu said: "Amazing talent?!"
Xie Xuan bowed his head and said: "Yes, he is an amazing talent! This man has a lot of talent, but he is lazy by nature and doesn't care about anything. Uncle An once said: Being arbitrary is actually an extremely proud person. , and an arrogant person."
"Extremely proud and arrogant?"
"Yes, such a person is difficult to fathom."
Liu Yu frowned and said: "So Xuan Shuai thinks that he might really be able to shake Fu Jian's million-strong army with just eighteen people?"
Xie Xuan solemnly said: "No matter how arrogant he is, he would never do such a thing. No one believes that he dares to do this. I didn't believe it last night, but now I believe it. I think he really dares to do this!"
Liu Yu looked at Xie Xuan and was slightly startled, and said, "Why does Commander Xuan think he dares?"
Xie Xuan whispered: "The spies reported not long ago. Fu's son Fu Pi led 20,000 infantry out of Yun City at midnight last night and set up defenses along the Huaihe River. At that time, Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry suddenly appeared and attacked the two Ten thousand soldiers launched a surprise attack and killed more than 10,000 Fu Pi in just one hour. Then Fu Pi led the rest of his troops and tried to escape back to Yun City, but eighteen cavalry pursued them and killed more than 5,000 soldiers along the way. Fu Pi had not yet escaped. When he returned to Yun City, the 20,000 infantry he led joined him in burying him in the stone wilderness. All 20,000 infantry were killed, and no one escaped the pursuit of the eighteen horsemen."
Thinking of the shocking massacre between them and the forward army yesterday, even though he had seen the terrifying force of Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry with his own eyes, Liu Yu could not help but feel a shiver in his heart and his hands and feet were cold when Xie Xuan recounted last night's battle.
Xie Xuan continued: "Fu Rong died in battle, and Fu Pi also died. Now Fu Jian should also know the news of the tragic death of his son. In my opinion, tomorrow Fu Jian will definitely lead the army in person, encircle and suppress the border wilderness, and swear to kill 'Yan Yun Shi' Eight cavalry'!"
Liu Yu nodded in approval. Suddenly he thought of the key point and said, "They are deliberately irritating Fu Jian."
Xie Xuan laughed and said calmly: "If Fu Jian were to take control of Shouyang, even if Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry had great abilities, they would never be able to defeat a million-strong army. They could just say 'burning corpses and washing the ground' at will." It will just become a joke.”
Liu Yu understood that he killed Fu Rong first and then Fu Pi. The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun were to provoke Fu Jian to come out of Shouyang to fight to the death with him. They really dare to face Beihu's millions of troops.
But even if Fu Jian would personally lead the army, how could the Eighteen Cavalry defeat them?
Liu Yu raised his head and asked: "Shuai Xuan, how should our Beifu army deal with this battle now?"
Xie Xuan said in a deep voice: "Before abandoning the defense of Shouyang, I ordered Hu Bin to build arrow trenches, arrow towers and stone fortresses along the Fei River. Fu Jian's army will arrive in Shouyang at dusk today. Fu Qin first captured Shouyang. The position is not yet stable, and Fu Jian has received news of the tragic death of his own son. Tomorrow he will surely be unable to bear it and launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against Bianhuangji."
Liu Yu nodded secretly.
Xie Xuan turned to look at Bian Huangji and continued: "Now that Feishui is under the control of our army, Fu Qin does not dare to forcefully cross the river for the time being. If our army wants to win, tomorrow is the perfect opportunity!"
Liu Yu exclaimed in shock: "Shuai Xuan means that our army will fight to the death with Fu Jianjian tomorrow?"
Xie Xuan sighed: "If Fu Jian stays in the rear, not only the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun will be helpless, but our army will also have no chance of winning. Fu Jian is the master of unifying the north and has extremely high prestige. Only he can control the tribes in the north." . In his southern expedition, the army will never collapse due to one or two defeats. Our northern government has tried its best to confront Fu Qin on both sides of the Feishui River. However, there is a huge disparity in military strength between the north and the south. Once the confrontation is on the Feishui River, our army will sooner or later It will be defeated. But if the army commanded by Fu Jian himself can be defeated in one fell swoop, Fu Jian will lose all his prestige, all the clans will inevitably be torn apart, and the Di Qin Empire will also come to an end."
Liu Yu said worriedly: "But the Eighteenth Cavalry of Yanyun..."
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "Xiao Yuda, don't worry, how could I enter the battlefield rashly?"
Hearing this, Liu Yu sighed, he was really afraid that the sudden intervention of the Beifu Army in this battle would make the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry regard them as enemies. The thought of fighting those eighteen people made him feel uneasy.
"In that case, my subordinates will go down and prepare now."
Xie Xuandao: "Don't worry, Xiaoyu still has to go to the border for me. If we can cooperate with Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry, our army will have a greater chance of winning."
Liu Yu nodded, but suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "If you refuse arbitrarily, what will my subordinates do?"
Xie Xuandao: "If you refuse, you will continue to complete the mission. Tonight you must sneak into Shouyang and persuade Zhu Xu to surrender. Tomorrow will be the decisive battle. Once the Eighteen Cavalry fails, our Beifu Army will immediately launch a surprise attack, vowing to keep Fu Jian." If Zhu Xu leads his old troops in Shouyang to counterattack, Fu Jian will have no basis to retreat."
Liu Yu said solemnly: "My subordinates understand and will definitely live up to their orders!"
Xie Xuan nodded and said: "Time is running out, so be careful along the way."
Liu Yu retreated.
