The five-way troops showed a trend of advancing in unison, pointing directly at Xuchang. This trend of splitting and attacking was, on the one hand, because several people had the advantage and were qualified to divide the troops, and on the other hand, there were adjacent Xuzhou and Liu Heng's thunder cavalry of Youzhou under 20,000, which also posed a threat to Xuchang in the east. It can be said that Sima Xu was at a disadvantage in both military strategy and morale.

If King Fan Yang did not have God's help, it would be extremely difficult to turn the tables. The generals of Youzhou would not think they were so unlucky. They would encounter a meteorite like Wang Mang. On the second day of advancing south, all the troops won one after another.

At the same time, the news of the division of troops was sent to the King of Yan. They believed that the King of Yan would not be too concerned. The dispute over the division of troops has been endless throughout history, but in fact, this question is very simple. If you are really powerful enough to be invincible, you can win in the end whether you combine or divide the troops, and you will die in the end.

Sima Ji usually blew himself in front of the generals, but when it comes to practice, he never divides his troops unless the situation does not allow it. Now he is no longer in front of these generals, and no one cares about these confidants' free performance.

The troops of Youzhou were approaching, and the entire north was lost. People who fled from all over the country began to gather towards Xuchang, which brought great pressure to Sima Su. Even if he had been out of town for many years, he felt breathless. Sima Su was not ignorant of Youzhou. It was because of some of the situation in Youzhou that he felt as if he was facing a great enemy. The previous Hejian King who was very confident in himself was even chopped off by this junior.

Sima Xun, who was standing at the head of Xuchang City, looked solemn. It can be said that the noble families of Yuzhou also came here to take refuge. At the same time, they had money and no money to work, and they were united in his account, but the haze in their hearts was lingering.

He also paid attention to this junior for a long time. To be fair, Sima Xu didn't know what this nephew was thinking. Sometimes he thought whether Sima Ji was deliberately doing evil. He might have been too strict when he was a child. He only massacred the city and surrendered after he ascended the throne. Or was Sima Ji himself a cruel person and was so happy to be accused of merit?

Looking back now, the territory of the feudal country was indeed made into an iron bucket after he, the new king, and covered the entire feudal country without any leakage. What shocked him was a gentry army that escaped. One of the prefects inside said that he met a general among the Youzhou soldiers and horses, and he also angrily criticized the shamelessness of the other party's external Hu and man-made disasters that ruined the world.

Sima Xu could tell from the description of this prefect that he should be a general who was born in the Yan Prince's Mansion. What really shocked him was the reaction of this general. "The so-called loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are personal ethics. Although our Youzhou also values ​​these, we really want the world to be ruled by the emperor. The King of Yan had long said that the Confucian scholar Xuanzong was not an object to rely on. Only by governing the country according to law can the world be determined. Those who resisted will be crushed mercilessly. Whether it is resisting or not, this fate is destined."

"Govern the country according to law!" Sima Xu looked at the dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky and said to himself. If you think deeply, the meaning would be very big. He knew that this younger generation advocated the Legalist ideas. He used to think it was just a personal hobby. Now it seems that he is really going to promote his ideas throughout the world. The target of imitation is the means of the tyrannical Qin, and speaks with the result of the battlefield.

When his family knew his family, Sima Xu naturally knew the history of his family. The Sima family launched the Gaopingling Incident, but Sima Yi actually died of illness without too much power. When Emperor Jing Shi Shi, it was the most dangerous time for the entire Sima family. Major towns in Huainan rebelled one after another, and various places resisted one after another. Even now, the major families still complained about this.

Now thinking about it, if Confucian metaphysics cannot solve this problem, it is not impossible to change the idea. However, the Legalists are the thoughts of the short-lived dynasty of the Qin Dynasty. Will there be no trouble in this way?

It took a long time before Sima Yu walked down from the city of Xuchang. There was still no news today. I don’t know whether his plan was successful. After learning that the Youzhou army was approaching, he felt very heavy. However, he knew that Sima Ji was not among the Youzhou army, but asked his confidant generals to go south. Soon these generals divided their troops south and made their arrangements move south from all over the place, which gave Sima Yu a chance to turn defeat into victory.

He felt that naturally the backbone of the entire Youzhou was not there, and many generals of the same level led their troops separately, so there would naturally be a situation of dissatisfaction with each other. After the division of troops, each of the troops was not as good as himself. If he could defeat them, he would be able to change the situation in Yuzhou. Maybe after winning, he would defeat the invading Youzhou troops one by one, and it would be impossible to solve the danger of Yuzhou.

For this reason, Sima Xu allocated 50,000 troops, and selected people from the fleeing gentry as generals, and recruited 20,000 strong men. I believe that it should be stronger than any other route than the Youzhou Army. No matter how many ways the enemy came from, it would be not difficult to choose them all the way and use the gaps in the opponent's ideas to turn defeat into victory.

Why hasn't the news come yet? Is it a victory or a defeat? Under the escort of many soldiers, Sima Xu, who returned to the palace, was still restless. No matter what, there must be news coming, and no news makes him restless.

The setting sun was like blood. At this time, the sky was dark and the mist-like moisture was floating in the sky, which made soldiers who did not like humid and hot climates very uncomfortable. The corpses on the earth shone on the dim sunlight, making it difficult for people to see clearly, as if there were endless hell on earth. From time to time, some soldiers were patrolling, as if they were watching whether there were still injured people to breathe.

"There is another person who seems to be alive. Can you still save him?" A soldier not far away looked at the corpse on the ground and greeted his companions who were less than ten steps away.

The latter came to hear the news and looked at the person with arrows stuck in his body. His chest seemed to be vaguely undulating. It seemed that he had not died yet. But when he looked at the arrow shaft on his abdomen, he sighed, "Give this Xuchang soldiers a happy time. The Jurchens' armor-breaking heavy arrows are almost unable to survive. Now they are just waiting to die."

"What a pity, he is not lucky." The soldier who had just greeted the people pulled out the dagger without hesitation, aimed it at the heart of the injured and inserted it straight into it. Blood splattered out. The injured person under him twitched twice and was sent to the gate of hell.
