Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 317 Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other
The Battle of Yinchuan was fought by Xie Ai and Deng Xia, but Huan Xi was the one to pretend.

People around him were either rejoicing at the victory in the Battle of Yinchuan, or marveling at Huan Xi's unfazed attitude.

Their respectful gazes were very helpful to Huan Xi.

In fact, with Huan Xi's identity, he no longer needs to show off to others and show off his extraordinary status.

Even if he writes a limerick, it will be regarded as a masterpiece by his surrounding officials. Therefore, Huan Xi has not copied poems for many years.

When Xie Daoyun asked, he just explained that he was busy with military affairs and had no time to write poetry.

After all, the art of poetry requires accumulation over time, and what is important is that an article is made by nature and can be obtained by chance. '

If you don’t conceive on a daily basis, how can you get inspiration from time to time?

In the commander's tent, people were no longer concerned about Liang Guo's victory in the Hetao area, but instead talked about Huan Xi's calmness.

Even though Quan Yi knew that Huan Xi had already learned of the good news in advance last night, he still flattered him in surprise:

As Huan Xi expected, Li Wei had also received the battle report about the Hetao at this time.

In the handsome tent, Li Wei paced impatiently.

"Although Murong Ke has not gone south, this person should not be underestimated. You must not be blindly optimistic. You must be down-to-earth and not be too arrogant."

Huan Xi just wrote lightly:
"In order to be a general, you must first control your mind. You must make sure that Mount Tai collapses in front but does not change your appearance, and that the elk rises to the left but does not blink. Then you can control your advantages and disadvantages and wait for the enemy."

Xie Xuan, on the other hand, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. With the two big mountains of Wang Meng and Quan Yi pressing down on him, his uncle Xie An might not be able to get ahead.

Li Wei stopped and nodded repeatedly:
"What Guang Ping (Lv Bolou's courtesy name) says makes sense."

"The great victory in Hetao is a thing of the past. Now, we should be committed to winning another victory in Hedong County.

However, this is the fact. Lu Polou came specially from Anyi to tell him this news.

Lu Polou grabbed Li Wei's sleeve:

"Presumably Li Wei should have known that Fu Jian was defeated and took the Loop. He had no choice but to come and challenge our army.

"How could the King of Heaven lose!"

Fu Jian brought all the elite soldiers in the country to Hetao, how could he be defeated by Xie Ai and Deng Xia.

Huan Xi's excitement for the limelight had passed. He stood up, left the chessboard, and said to everyone:

"The Hetao was a great victory, but Liang Gong did not change his color. This skill of cultivating the mind and character has been matched by few people in ancient times."

"Mr. Jianning, now is not the time to investigate the cause. What you have to do now is to block the news so as not to shake the morale of the army and affect the morale of the soldiers."

Everyone admired his calmness in facing such a great victory.

Quan Yi even said with emotion:
"This is a timeless saying that awakens the world, and all generals should imitate it."

Seeing this scene, Zhou Qiong finally understood why Quan Yi was so favored and became the second most popular figure among the ministers of the Liang Kingdom, second only to Wang Meng.

Everyone heard the words and agreed in unison.

Su Xun was born hundreds of years too late, so this truth naturally came from Huan Xi's mouth.

However, Quan Yi was flattery, but Huan Xi's words still deeply inspired Xie Xuan.

He turned to his confidants serving in the tent and said:
"This matter must not be leaked to anyone. Anyone who dares to disrupt the morale of our military will be killed without mercy!"

Everyone was afraid and agreed one after another.

Lu Polou said:
"The victory or defeat of the Loop must be known to an outsider."

Li Wei was startled, and then asked: "Guang Ping refers to Murong Ke?"

Lu Polou nodded and said:

"Exactly!
"Murong Ke promised before that he had no intention of getting involved in Hedong County during this trip. Although he has a noble character, I trust him just because we have a common enemy.

"Now that the king is defeated by Hetao, how can Murong Ke sit back and watch Dayu lose another battle? Otherwise, Dayu's strength will be excessively weakened, and who will guard Huanxi for the Yan people.

"Even if Duke Jianning is relaxed, even if Murong Ke knows about this matter, he should keep his mouth shut and will never make it public."

Li Wei heard this and said with emotion:

"Jia Yi said: 'Misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and blessing lies on the misfortune.'

"The defeat in Hetao can make the Yan people work together with me. The ancients are honest and will not be deceived by me."

Having said that, he immediately sent his confidants to the Yan Army camp in Wenxi County to report the news.

After a short rest, Murong Ke had moved from Zijin Mountain to Wenxi County north of Anyi.

After the envoy was ordered to leave, Lu Polou continued:

"Mr. Jianning, although the king of heaven is defeated, you must not rush into battle.

"Huan Xi is now waiting for you to cause chaos in your hurry. Please be sure to seek stability. You must know that Dayu cannot lose the salt pond, but Murong Ke does not want to see Huan Xi sitting on the salt pond."

Li Wei was convinced and said:
"With Guangping's talents, staying in Anyi would be overkill, but please come into the camp to advise me. There is no room for failure in this battle.

"As for Anyi County, I can just send another confidant to take charge."

Lu Polou said loudly:

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear."

Lu Polou came here just to play the role of the mastermind for Li Wei, otherwise he would just pass the news and there would be no need for him to come to the front line in person.

Although Li Wei was quite intelligent, one person was short-changed and two people were wise.

Previously, it was just a stalemate with Liang Jun, so Lu Po Lou could naturally stay in Anyi with confidence. Now that Li Wei could no longer wait until Liang Jun retreated on his own, there would be a war on the front line, so Lu Po Lou spontaneously came to Li Wei's tent to listen.

When Li Wei saw this, he held Lu Bolou's hand tightly and said with emotion:

"The rise and fall of the Fu family's foundation depends on you and me. If Li has any ill-conceived ideas, please feel free to correct me."

Lu Polou smiled and said:
"It's not a correction, it's just a matter of brainstorming."

Huan Xi was waiting for the Yu army to advance westward, but Li Wei followed Lu Polou's advice and did not take any action for the time being.

However, the tree wanted to be still but the wind was not stopping. Huan Xi mistakenly thought it was Li Wei who did not know that Fu Jian had broken his halberd outside Yinchuan City. He was so enthusiastic that he actually sent Guanlong Tuqi and Yi Cong of the Guards to rush for more than thirty miles. Head to the Yu army camp.

Li Wei thought it was Liang Jun's attack and quickly ordered to be on guard.

But Liang Jun only shouted outside the camp that Fu Jian was defeated and died, and even spread rumors that civil strife broke out in Jinyang and that Fu Jian's line was restored, which panicked the Yu soldiers.

Of course Fu Jian is not dead. Although Xie Ai and Deng Xia have slowed down his retreat, it is impossible to really keep him in Hetao.

As for Jinyang, there was no civil strife at all. Fu Jian's line had already lost power. With the Hedong gentry, Di and Qiang tribes all supporting Fu Jian, how could Fu Jian's descendants make waves.

Li Wei quickly came forward to refute the rumors and calm the public opinion.

At the same time, after receiving Li Wei's envoy, Murong Ke also learned that Fu Jian had been defeated and fled to the Hetao.

He said to Feng Yi:
"In this case, we can only go all out."
