Jiang Tunshui looked at Xuanzhou City in the distance, which was full of war, and suddenly sighed.

He still has lingering palpitations when he thinks back to the thrilling battle a few days ago.

The battle report that General Weiyuan got was very simple - General Huaihua was defeated and killed.

But how many people understand what a tragic and courageous battle of wits and courage behind this sentence?

It was the first battle after he really commanded the army alone, and it was also the first big victory.

There was no Jin An to give an order to tell him what to do, and there was no Zhu Weijiang and Zhao Yanshuang to rely on and fight side by side with reinforcements.

He was alone, and he himself told himself what he should do.

If you lead an army, it doesn't mean that he is a person, you tell him to go east, and he will go east.

There are thousands of people, their faces are different, their voices are different, their personalities are different, their habits are different, if you tell him to fight to the death and not to retreat, he may suddenly be afraid and want to escape, if you tell him to temporarily retreat and forbear, he may attack rashly on the spur of the moment.

It's not something that ordinary people can do.

Some people have said that he leads troops, the more the merrier, the more people, the better, whether it is 5,000 or 5 million, he can be regarded as a whole.

But there are only a handful of such people throughout the ages, even the ancestors of the Art of War said so - soldiers are not expensive, but there are no martial arts.

In the battle with General Huaihua, there had been many attacks on Xuanzhou before, and the whole army was ambushed and annihilated, if he rushed over stupidly like those people, the outcome was self-evident.

He knew that General Huaihua was ambushed within the Xuanzhou boundary, but he didn't know where it was.

He didn't rush forward, stopped, and studied the map of Xuanzhou for a long, long time.

He deduced where General Huaihua might be ambushing, and then sent scouts to spy on it.

He was right, the scout had discovered General Huaihua's traces.

And so a battle broke out.

General Huaihua didn't take this ragtag army in his eyes seriously, that is, the regular local army of Southern Wu, he had blown up countless times, and he also cut off the heads of three soldiers.

But Jiang Tunshui is very excited and cautious, this is his first time playing, he must play well, even if he loses, he can't be defeated.

So in such a state of mind, the two of them fought a bloody battle in Xuanzhou.

Facts have proved that no matter how much training there is, it is not as effective as actual combat, and several battles have changed this so-called "motley army", Jiang Tunshui is growing, they are also growing, and they are no longer as frightened and helpless as before, but are slightly excited and ready to go.

Making full use of the characteristics of General Huaihua's light enemy, Jiang Tunshui's army fought and retreated to show its decline, allowing General Huaihua to advance all the way, but the two wings outflanked each other in a roundabout way, and when General Huaihua noticed that something was wrong, he was surrounded on three sides.

Despite the numerous killings, this army was defeated, and General Huaihua died in the chaos.

After General Huaihua was eliminated, Xuanzhou City was flat, he hurriedly marched to the outside of the city, rested for a day, and then began to attack the city.

At this moment, there will be no more troops in the Northern Tang Dynasty that can rush to the aid of Xuanzhou in a short period of time, and General Weiyuan could not imagine that General Huaihua would be defeated so quickly and completely.

It was the third day, and Xuanzhou was breached at noon, and his army marched in.

After the first victory, the first capture of the city was ushered in.

However, Jiang Tunshui did not have any joy in his heart, and the capture of Xuanzhou and the killing of General Huaihua meant that he would become the target of the public, and there was a long way to go in the future.

Three days later, news came from the direction of Huzhou that Zhu Weijiang had been unable to attack Huzhou for a long time, and that General Changwu's troops were twice as large as that of General Huaihua, and he was cautious.

Another day passed, and Zhao Yanshuang's troops joined the battle and encircled Huzhou.

Of course, this is just one of many battlefields, and the protests are in full swing everywhere.

All this is forcing General Weiyuan to make a choice as soon as possible.

……

……

It's worth considering whether to stay here and spend time with Kim An, or to leave here right away to clean up the mess.

Earth-shaking changes are taking place everywhere, and many famous generals in the Northern Tang Dynasty have also been martyred.

Either take Jinling as soon as possible and let Jin An go to hell, or hurry up and get out of the way, don't be an eyesore outside the city.

And the facts have already been placed in front of General Weiyuan - his troops are suitable for field battles, but not for siege. And Jin'an and Guanliandian, who are familiar with the surrounding areas of Jinling, will not give him a chance.

Before Jin An retreated to Jinling, he had always thought that it was a stupid and self-defeating idea, but the current situation shows that Jin An had made many other decisions before making this decision, in all aspects, so this behavior became the most appropriate and rational.

It will take a while to wait until Jin An and the others really starve to death, but for him General Weiyuan, this period of time is very precious.

So he ended up waging a siege - just to vent his emotions, and finally retreated.

If he can't clean up Jin An, he won't be able to clean up others.

General Weiyuan is gone, but Jinling has ushered in an important person, this person is its owner, who has only left here many days ago.

Ji Ruhai, he's back again.

Leaving here and returning here, he was in Jinling twice, but he represented two different identities -

Prisoner.

Emperor.

The people of Jinling have returned one after another, probably because they feel the changes of the times.

As a result, countless people worshiped their emperors and spiritual beliefs along the way, but they were silent and expressionless.

It's not the end of the day, nothing is conclusive, the situation is still very uncertain, but overall it's much better.

Sitting in the carriage, passing all the way, Ji Ruhai looked at the people outside the car window, also silent and expressionless.

Since the death of the first emperor, he has experienced too much, and it seems that he has long been vicissitudes.

With so many ups and downs, the mentality should be flat and stable.

The carriage, which was not at all luxurious, came to the gate of the guard.

At the gate of the city, many people, including Jin An and Guan Liandian, knelt on the ground and greeted him.

Guan Kuo hid somewhere, watching all this, he didn't know whether he should be from the Northern Tang Dynasty or Southern Wu, and he was not familiar with Ji Ruhai, so he hadn't thought about whether to kneel in front of this emperor, so he simply didn't go to meet.

Ji Ruhai didn't speak.

Jin An and Guan Liandian and the others silently stood up by themselves and returned to both sides, they understood Ji Ruhai's mentality now.

Ji Ruhai chooses to trust them, which means that he needs to pay a great price, and now if he is captured again, General Weiyuan will definitely not let him go like Li Zenan at that time, and Li Zenan will definitely have a different opinion on this news than before.
