When Chu and Han fought, Han Xin destroyed Qi, and Xiang Yu's famous general Long He led 200,000 Chu troops to reinforce Qi and confronted Han Xin on both sides of Weishui. Han Xin ordered people to build embankments upstream to make the river shallow, and then lured the dragon and crossed the river in pursuit. When the dragon and the dragon were halfway crossing, the upstream embankment was suddenly dug up, flooding the three armies, and the dragon and the army were completely annihilated. Guanxin also knew this allusion, and after being reminded by Yuan Rui, he quickly got up: "Maybe the poor monk can help with the rescue of General Lin." ”

Yuan Rui hurriedly followed: "If this king is not bad, the river will flood in a while, and we can only look at the river and sigh, how is the master going to rescue General Lin?" ”

Guan Xin smiled and said, "Your Highness, has you forgotten how the master of the poor monk came to Dawei?" ”

Yuan Rui stared at Guanxin with wide eyes in disbelief: "Master, you, will you ...... too?" ”

Guan Xin nodded slightly: "The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken." Has Your Highness ever been in the water? ”

Yuan Rui nodded.

Contemplation: "As long as the speed is fast enough and the angle is accurate enough, not only stones, but also flesh and blood can float on the water." However, with the strength of the poor monk alone, he could only bring back a few people from General Lin, but he could not restore the defeat of our army. ”

Yuan Rui had no choice but to nod helplessly: "As long as General Lin is still there, there is still hope for our army, and everything will be left to the master!" ”

When the two came to the river, they saw that the river was vast and the waves roared, which was completely different from the previous scene of gurgling water and sparkling waves. From time to time, you can still see drowning soldiers and war horses struggling to emerge from the bottom of the water, and then sink again, and there are countless Great Wei Yulin scattered on the riverbank, all with expressions of disengagement and fright, as if they have just witnessed something extremely terrible.

Yuan Rui grabbed a soldier and asked, "What happened?" What about General Lin? ”

The soldier looked desperate: "Just now, General Lin was leading us to pursue the Liang army, wanting to attack Xingfeng's main formation, but somehow the river suddenly soared, and many brothers were swept away by the river. ”

Guanxin: "What about General Lin?" ”

Soldier: "I don't know, the water is so big, will it be ......?"

Yuan Rui shook his head: "It stands to reason that Xing Feng should wait for our army to cross halfway before breaking the embankment, so that the power of the flood can be brought into full play and the commander of our army can be captured alive, which is the most beneficial for them." Without further ado, go Master! ”

Seeing that Guanxin did not respond, Yuan Rui reminded again: "Master? Suddenly, the crowd stopped clamouring, and only the sound of rushing water remained. Following everyone's gaze, Yuan Rui was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him, only to see Guanxin walking quickly on the surface of the river, and his toes tapping the water surface from time to time to borrow strength, like a dragonfly dotting water. Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, at this moment, witnessing the "floating on the water" like a myth and legend, Yuan Rui was still shocked and gasped.

It wasn't until Guanxin's figure turned into a small dot on the river that Yuan Rui came back from his astonishment and said to the local soldiers who were standing like logs beside him: "Don't be in a daze, hurry up and find a boat to rescue your comrades who have fallen into the water!" Yuan Rui's words made everyone suddenly find the backbone from the panic, and immediately split up.

The crowd gradually dispersed, but Yuan Rui still stood in place, staring at the opposite bank with longing eyes, until a long time later, Guan Xin appeared on the river with Lin Tianyi hanging his head in one hand, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

After arriving at the shore, Guanxin put down Lin Tianyi and turned back without saying a word. Yuan Rui caught Lin Tianyi, and when he saw that he looked discouraged, he couldn't help but feel relieved: "General Lin, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, cheer up and we can still fight!" ”

Lin Tianyi muttered: "Miserable, too miserable!" The 30,000 soldiers of the front team were almost wiped out, and the general was ashamed of His Majesty! Shame on the Queen Mother! When he said that he was sad, he wanted to draw his sword and kill himself.

Yuan Rui snatched the sword from his hand: "General Lin, cheer up!" After losing 30,000, we still have 50,000, which is still several times more than Xing Feng's Liang Army, isn't it? ”

Lin Tianyi suddenly realized: "Yes! Your Highness is right! In contrast, our advantage is still obvious. I wonder what His Highness thinks? ”

Yuan Rui: "Does the general still remember how Yang Xia Taishou Deng Xian responded to Xing Feng's tiger-like offensive?" ”

Although he lost the battle, when he thought of Deng Xian's nest appearance, Lin Tianyi still had a look of disdain on his face: "This coward!" The turtle retreated to the city and did not dare to fight. Suddenly looked at Yuan Rui in surprise, "Your Highness doesn't want to learn from him, right?" ”

Yuan Rui nodded, his expression extremely serious: "Exactly!" Xing Feng's lone army went deep into the territory of our Great Wei, and the food and grass needed all depended on plundering our soldiers and civilians. The counties conquered by him were not taken over by the Southern Liang army for a long time, and they could be recovered with a piece of paper. In this way, Xing Feng has no food and grass and no way out, unless he has wings, he will be captured by me. ”

Lin Tianyi pondered for a long time: "This is indeed more secure. ”

After Guanxin went back and forth to the banks of Yingshui three times, the fighting on the other side stopped, and Guanxin's physical strength was exhausted, and he was no longer able to continue walking on the water. However, the soldiers in charge of the search and rescue along the river continued to search for their comrades who were swept away by the flood, and thanks to their efforts, the lost soldiers continued to return to the team.

After this battle, the Wei army lost more than 20,000 soldiers and 25 generals and colonels at all levels. After learning from the pain, Lin Tianyi urgently convened the generals to discuss countermeasures. After the defeat of the generals in the seat, there were strong bad emotions, some people were depressed and collapsed, and some people were indignant and full of anger, and it was really difficult to think calmly in such a state.

Seeing that Lin Tianyi didn't say a word, everyone felt strange, and Yuan Rui, who had been suppressed by him, suddenly spoke: "Generals, the enemy we are facing now is very cunning, and the slightest carelessness will lead to his way." In view of the fact that our strength is several times that of Xing Feng, and the battlefield is in the territory of our Great Wei, this king decided to retreat into the city after consulting with General Lin, and the strong wall Qingye will not confront him head-on. Xing Feng can't fight, and he will definitely retreat when the grain and grass are exhausted, and we can take advantage of that time to fight and annihilate them all. ”

The generals looked at Lin Tianyi one after another, their eyes were full of doubts, General Lin had just scolded Deng Xian for being timid not long ago, how could he order to avoid the war now? Unexpectedly, Lin Tianyi nodded slightly at them in approval. Now that Lin Tianyi has agreed, the generals can't say anything more.

But Tu Hong still jumped out: "Your Highness, thanks to you and Master Guanxin today, Tu Mou picked up a life, and Tu Mou thanked him first." But Tu Mou didn't approve of your plan, but he let the thieves run rampant in my territory with heavy troops, Tu Mou didn't do this soft egg! ”

Yuan Rui's face changed abruptly, and he took the case: "Tu Hong! Today, this king can save you or kill you, do you believe it or not? ”

Tu Hong's neck crooked: "Tu Mou's life was saved by Your Highness anyway, if you want to take it back, Tu Mou has nothing to say, but Tu Mou wants to remind His Highness that the commander-in-chief of this expedition is General Lin, not your King Changle!" ”

Yuan Rui clasped his fists at Lin Tianyi and saluted: "What this king said today is what General Lin meant. And before the army set off, the queen mother gave the king a secret edict, if someone does not follow the order, the king can cut it first and then play, so the king just said that you can be cut is not a joke. ”

Lin Tianyi finally spoke at this moment: "What His Highness said is true, and General Secret Edict has also seen it, and it is true." ”

Yuan Rui continued: "The strength of our army is far superior to Xing Feng, there is no need to fight with him, as long as we do not make a mess step by step, the victory will be ours!" ”

"I think Your Highness can do this."

"I agree with that."

"Obey the orders of His Highness and the General."

Maybe he was scared by Xing Feng, maybe it was the secret edict in Yuan Rui's hands, or maybe he saw Yuan Rui's performance today and really felt that he could lead everyone to victory, and the generals expressed their support for Yuan Rui.

Tu Hong was still unwilling, staring at Lin Tianyi with his eyes blank: "General Lin, if you say something, do we have to fight so badly?" ”

Lin Tianyi glanced at Tu Hong coldly: "On the battlefield, there are only victories and defeats, and there is no nobility and despicability!" ”

As soon as these words came out, even if Tu Hong's temper was stubborn, he had to accept his fate, never speak again, and sulk with his head down.

Yuan Rui saw that there was no objection, so he began to deploy a specific plan, first, the army entered the three cities of Weishi, Yanling, and Xuxian respectively; secondly, no one was allowed to live outside the city in Xingyang, Yingchuan, and Xiangcheng counties, and all the population and materials were evacuated to the nearby cities; In the end, Chuanzhu recovered Huaiyang, Suiyang and other fallen counties.

Everything was properly distributed, everyone was about to leave, and the sentry soldiers arranged by Yuan Rui hurriedly entered the interior to report: "Report ~ The Liang army of the brigade was found in the north, and the Liang general who led the team was dressed in a white robe, suspected of Xing Feng himself!" ”
