Jin camp.
Like the two Fu brothers, they admired the moon in the city tower, and the three uncles and nephews here also talked with the moon on the riverside.
"Fu Jian really agreed to your request to withdraw troops? There is no fraud, right?" Xie Yan doubted. He had never been to Qin Dynasty, and he had never known Fu Jian.
Xie Xuan looked ahead, listened to the sound of the river rushing in his ears, and nodded silently.
"Maybe, uncle doesn't really understand him. In the past, I thought uncle understood him completely." This was Xie Xuan's voice at the moment, with a hint of sadness in his calmness.
"Father used to have friendship with Fu Jian, but in my opinion, it is definitely not a deep friendship."
"So, apart from uncle, you, me, we don't know this person well enough. His heart is not as narrow as he wants to launch this war to destroy our Jin Dynasty. However, in this chaotic world where there is no peace in the north and south. , the bigger the heart, the easier it is to get hurt, and the ending may not be good."
Xie Shi still had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "He promised you to retreat, and you have so many emotions? Youdu, I think you are convinced by his heart."
"But don't forget, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable. Right now, he has promised you to retreat, but if the Qin army launches an attack when we are crossing the river, then you will put our army in danger."
A flash of sharpness flashed in Xie Xuan's eyes, and he looked at his uncle Xie Shi, "Are you going to strike halfway? No, in my scheme, I never left these four words for Fu Jian."
Only then did Xie Shi quickly face up to his nephew, examine him for a while, and seeing his calm face, panic flashed in his heart, "Are you lying to him?"
Xie Shi grabbed his nephew's wrist, "Even though our Jin and Qin armies confront each other today, this is a matter of position, a problem left over from the nation, and has nothing to do with individuals. No matter how you want to win this battle, you shouldn't put the other side at risk." Damn, you shouldn't have lied to him."
Xie Xuan smiled suddenly, and pushed Xie Shi's hand away, "Uncle, why did you change from being afraid of Qin to respecting Qin? How can you be invincible? Did he send you alone, and you turned to him, don't forget Yes, we are the Xie family, Han people.”
"You are right, this is a national issue, and the success or failure depends on you."
"you."
"Uncle, brother, stop arguing on your own." Xie Yan persuaded between the two.
"Have you forgotten what my father said? Our Xie family only knows to be loyal to the king, to help the Jin family, and to return the royal family to the north. Uncle, we Han people and the enemy are sworn to death. Although my brother cheated Fu Jian in this plan, the battle between the two armies is still the same. Things are inherently turbulent, if Fu Jian is unfortunately defeated, it will be due to fate, and it is not forced by me, Mrs. Xie."
Xie Shi pointed at the two people beside him with trembling fingers, "Okay, very good, it really is the good son of the Xie family, Yuan Du, you are right, there is no benevolence and righteousness on the battlefield, only Fu Jian is to blame Destiny does not return."
"Uncle, actually, I..."
I promised Fu Jian one thing, but Xie Xuan couldn't say it in the end.
Because for the Han people, whether they are Di people, Xianbei people, Qiang people, Huns, or Jie people, there is no difference, they are all Hu people.
It's just that what they don't understand is that the attitudes of the five ethnic groups towards the Han people are quite different.
Fu Jiankuan and the five clans ended the troubled times, and thus came the short and vast Great Qin Empire.
But it was precisely because of Fu Jian's attitude towards the people of the five clans that he personally ended his Great Qin Empire.
Xie Shi flicked his sleeves and left the riverside. This time, Xie Xuan and Xie Yan were left alone. Xie Yan looked at his elder brother and said, "Brother, did you really deceive Fu Jian?"
Xie Xuan took a long breath, and said in a slightly heavy tone, "Yuan Du, there is no benevolence and righteousness on the battlefield. Since ancient times, the benevolent and righteous have no good ending. Whether it is Fu Jian's peaceful retreat or half-way attack, I have not given it to you." He has a chance, because I never thought of winning without a fight."
Xie Yan said, "I believe in you, brother."

What a pair of Xie Jiaerlang! ! !
What Quan Yi said is right, soldiers are deceitful.
No one can blame anyone for what the destiny belongs to.
Feishui is not a very wide river, but a tributary of the Huaihe River. It flows into the Huaihe River from southeast to northwest.
Today, it was a gray day, and the light mist in the sky shrouded the high mountains and canyons. Bagong Mountain stood tall and tall, and it really tasted like a fairy mountain and flowing water.
On the other side of the river, soldiers and horses were neatly lined up. Thousands of ships floating on the downstream river were now covered by thick fog. Xie Shigao sat on his horse and stood in the middle army. Beside him was Xie Xuan, the forward governor of the Jin Dynasty. He Fuguo General Xie Yan, Yuzhou Governor Huan Yi, Jianwei General Dai Xi, and Xie Xuan were lined up behind the Beifu soldiers' generals He Qian, Liu Laozhi, Liu Yu, Gao Heng, Sun Wuzhong and others. In the Battle of Huainan, it was these people who defeated Peng Chao's 140,000 allied forces.
The wind was light and the clouds were light, everything seemed so peaceful.
Zhang Hao led the 140,000 Qin army to line up on the left bank of Feishui. The mere 80,000 Jin army faced the retreat of the 140,000 enemy army on the opposite bank. He firmly fixed on the figure on the other side.
At noon, Fu Jian of Xuancheng left Shouyang City, galloped to the bank of Feishui River, Mingyue and Nan'an followed respectively, Lian Taiyi followed Xuancheng with a long sword as before.
Several people rode their horses to a high pile, under the touch of eyeliner, black heads floated with the breeze, and the horses were quiet. The Qin army was mainly composed of cavalry and infantry this time. Finally, the archers and spearmen in the infantry cooperated with each other and fought the enemy head-on, while the cavalry did not make a frontal charge.
However, Xie Xuan was just the opposite. The Beifu soldiers were very mobile, and basically all of them were cavalry. They could not only transport and scout, but also mainly served as charge operations in this war.
Xuancheng finally turned his head to look at the face beside him, he felt so sad, "Brother, have you seen the Beifu soldiers?"
Fu Jian shook his head.
Xuan Cheng said in his heart, "You are really blind."
Nan'an stretched his neck and looked down, "Your Majesty, look, the Xie Jiabing is on the other side of the river."
Fu Jian pondered, and didn't care about Nan'an's reminder. He stared at his younger brother, his eyes were as gentle as the spring breeze in the past, but also affectionate, but he had no regrets, "Brother, if I am really wrong, Will you forgive me?"
Xuancheng silently stared into his eyes.
Fu Jian, you are wrong, but where is your mistake? Do you think you will face a disastrous defeat in the war because you agree with Xie Xuan's retreat
Do you think that this is a war that will last forever
If you are born as a Han Chinese, that is the greatest success.
But you are wrong, you will never be right for the rest of your life, even if you don’t start this war, your Great Qin Empire will still be torn apart, that day in the sky will never be you, and that Zhengshuo who died will never be you.
But this mistake, no matter how many years have passed, ten years, hundreds of years, thousands of years, even ten thousand years, or even tens of thousands of years, there is no chance to change it.
Xuancheng said, "Remember what you said." I will come to you, no matter when, please don't forget me.

"The whole army obeys the order, the rear team changes to the front team, the whole army turns and retreats." A deafening sound of orders broke the somewhat lonely silence.
One by one, it was passed down from top to bottom.
"The rear team becomes the front team, the whole army turns and retreats."
"The rear team becomes the front team, the whole army turns and retreats."
The sound was like a torrent of bells, piercing through cracked rocks, one after another, when it stabbed up to this high pile, Xuancheng felt his whole body was shattered.
Holding his broken body and heart, he watched helplessly the army that was about to withdraw from the Feishui battlefield under Zhang Hao's order.
Zhang Hao is the executor of the order, while Xuancheng and Fu Jian are the sitters who sit on the sidelines.
"Our army has already started to retreat. General Hussars ordered the reconnaissance cavalry to strictly investigate the movement of the enemy army. Xie Shi and Xie Xuan were watching from the shore, and there was no movement."
"Really?" As soon as the protracted ending fell to the ground, Xuancheng suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing around him. He turned his head and met Lian Taiyi's dumbfounded face, as if he saw a scene Horror picture.
"Mr. Yangping."
Xuancheng closed his eyes and tried his best to calm his body, because at this moment he had already felt the abnormal movement of this body, and there seemed to be a surge of air in his body, which seemed to break through his soul and rush towards him.
The moment he opened his eyes, the weirdest scene happened.
The Qin army retreated in a regular manner, but at this moment, the army that was retreating calmly a moment ago, suddenly there was a commotion in the rear, and a cavalry that fell from the sky like a tiger suddenly rushed into the retreating team of the Qin army, but that did not It wasn't a fierce tiger, nor a heavenly soldier, but the Beifu soldiers led by Xie Xuan.
In the letter Xie Xuan sent to Fu Jian, the letter suggested that Fu Jian retreat to give way to a decisive battle, but he never gave Fu Jian any chance to fight decisively, the only thing he had to do was "half retreat and strike."
Indeed, as Xie Shi said, Xie Xuan lied to Fu Jian.
Fu Jian wanted to attack halfway, that was just a fantasy, Xuancheng knew this fantasy, no matter what, Xie Xuan would not give Fu Jian any chance to retreat and escape, even when the Qin army was retreating. There is no chance of turning around in an instant.
Because at this moment, that tiger-like Beifu soldier pierced into the heart of the retreating Qin army like a steel knife, so wanton and arrogant, so unscrupulous, so rampant and indulgent, the Qin army who was retreating in an orderly manner I didn't react at all, and exposed my back to the group of tigers and wolves without any flaws. There is no way. If you ask me to beat me, if I don't, I will be very sorry for the reputation of my Beifu soldiers.
Xuancheng shed tears sadly.
He shouted in his heart, "Fu Jian, your brother, you can meet soon." Even if it was a perfect corpse.
