The result was unmistakable - the sneak attackers were in turn attacked, lost their armor and fled.

In the midst of these small temptations, Jin An, who had launched all this, came to the conclusion that the irresistible enemy, who had crossed the river, had a particularly terrible military talent, and was cautious and strict, and it was difficult to bargain for anything easily.

It seems that the situation is already very critical, because Ji Ruhai has entered Jinling City and boarded the dragon chair, and Xue Zhao's troops are at the border of Jinling, eyeing each other, and failure will appear anytime and anywhere, and the safety of Ji Ruhai, including the entire Southern Wu, is pinched in the hands of Jin'an.

The Jin An I saw these days didn't have too many smiles, more of a solemn expression, he looked like he had changed back to a normal person, but in Guan Kuo's opinion: This kind of Jin An seems to be a little abnormal, which is very bad.

"Can you do it, Xiao An'an?" He said this more than once.

Seriously, now everyone's expectations are placed on Jin An, at such a life-and-death moment, even his old iron is unreliable, and the only person who can control the overall situation to face Xue Zhao is Jin An.

"Don't talk to me in the tone of Ji Ruyi." Jin An looked a little impatient.

"Really?" Guan Kuo pretended to be stupid, and he sighed towards his hand, "Ji Ruyi's tone is very heavy? ”

"I suggest you worry about your words reaching the ears of Her Royal Highness the little princess." At this moment, Jin An was walking towards a high ground, and he climbed up on his own without looking back.

“……”

Finally, after a long time, Guan Kuo asked again, and this time he was very serious: "Jin An, aren't you uneasy about this war, or...... Aren't you afraid of death either? ”

In fact, what he wants to say is not just the question of whether someone will die, but the question of whether many people will die, Ji Ruhai, Ji Rushi, Guan Liandian, Guan Bangyun, Jin Xiaoyun, Tie Shanwu, He Guan Kuo, Li Xiyun......

These are not the characters that Jin An wants to see dead, and Jin An should be under a lot of pressure.

Jin An groaned.

"Yes, I'm scared," his voice wasn't loud, but not slight, "but so what? ”

"This is a gamble, many people, including me, including you, including Her Royal Highness the Little Princess, have already entered the game, and none of us have a choice, even if it is Xue Zhao on the opposite side, and Li Zenan further away."

"I heard what Li Xiyun said to you that day, Li Xiyun is still her daughter's family in the end, and she may not have thoroughly seen through such a situation."

"You're actually eavesdropping on other people's speeches, you're so perverted......" Guan Kuo muttered.

"That's not the point." Jin An's face did not change, and his heart jumped away from this topic without a beat.

"No one wants to die, and they don't want to encounter negative things, but that's how the world is."

"So do you have any insightful views on dealing with Xue Zhao?" Guan Kuo asked.

"Xue Zhao is very cautious, cautious to the point of almost perfect, in a short period of time, he hardly has any weaknesses in deployment, presumably the same will be true when the attack comes."

"But if a person is too cautious, then it is a weakness, he does not dare to launch too fierce battles, nor does he dare to make dangerous moves, and his military operations will have no bright spots."

"Prepare to prepare, in three days, we will attack." He changed the subject and said suddenly.

Guan Kuo's eyes widened instantly.

……

……

After Ji Ruhai re-boarded the dragon chair, he finally established the era name, so we switched to the Southern Wu era.

At the beginning of August of the first year of Changhong in Southern Wu, sixty miles outside Jinling City, the two armies faced each other.

After experiencing countless ups and downs, the first of the young generation in the Northern Tang Dynasty and the first generation of the young generation in Southern Wu finally stood face to face on the same battlefield.

They are the commanders of two armies and must face off against each other.

The first battle does not have much to describe in detail.

Coming across thousands of mountains and rivers, the Northern Tang army led by the forbidden armies of the Northern Tang Dynasty, such as Yulin, Shenwu, Longwu, and Left and Right Guards, fully demonstrated their unusualness, and under the offensive of the 100,000 troops of Southern Wu, they defeated the opposite side.

It was not a big defeat, Jin An gathered his troops and horses, retreated ten miles, and rested.

The result of the first head-to-head confrontation confirmed almost everyone's understanding - on the other side was an army of terrifying strength, which was not at all something that Nanwu and those who gathered later could defeat it head-on.

The next day, Xue Zhao, who was rumored to be extremely cautious, launched an active attack, and the Southern Wu army was once again defeated, and Jin An retreated ten miles again.

At this moment, Xue Zhao's army was only thirty or forty miles away from Jinling City, and Jin An had not been able to win at all, even if it was only once.

Many people in Southern Wu are a little depressed, but unlike the Northern Tang Dynasty, despite this, in Ji Ruhai's current small court, everyone is in a state of anxiety, but they unconditionally support Jin An to continue to command.

If there is no Jin'an, Jinling will not return to the hands of the Southern Wu people, even if Jin'an is finally defeated and Ji Ruhai is captured, then it is also the will of heaven, and it is not a crime of war.

This is a very good mentality, although it is a bit of a way to the meaning of black, but sometimes, a little tendon will also be beneficial, such as saving trouble.

Jin An summoned almost all the people who could have influence, including Guan Kuo and Guan Bangyun, Jin Xiaoyun, Zhang Lianyue and other figures who were only brave in battle, but not proficient in military affairs.

"The situation is obvious now, fighting head-on, we will never have a chance to defeat Xue Zhao, originally I wanted to try it, so I tried twice, all failed, the ancients were only three, but I don't want to try the third time."

He looked around: "We have to think of another way, unless we want to retreat again and again, and in the end there is no way to retreat, and we will be completely destroyed by Xue Zhao." ”

"I call everyone over now, what I want to listen to is not to completely defeat Xue Zhao's advice, but only need a setback, a small setback, I am fully prepared for one thing, what I need now is just a small setback, even if it is just to make Xue Zhao scratch a little skin."

His words were a bit inexplicable, but everyone believed that he must have his own reasoning.

However, it is not easy to defeat Xue Zhao, although it will be much easier than actually defeating that guy.

No one spoke, not a single one.

Guan Kuo's mind flashed through many strange thoughts, but after careful consideration, he found that they were all ghost ideas and bad ideas, so it was better not to say them.

However, Jin An's observation ability was too strong, and he obviously saw something, so he asked, "Guan Kuo?" ”
