Xie An said: "I heard from Xiaolin that according to him, the national master has developed a kind of magic. He can resurrect the dead under his magic, but this person is the puppet of the national master. Under his magic, this person only listens to his words and becomes a tool for killing people. Therefore, I think you see your father, to put it bluntly, using your father's body to kill you and our tools by the national master. This is the greatest offense to the dignity of a dead man. It is so vicious to kill us soldiers with loyal and kind souls. Therefore, I suggest that in the future, you must not be lenient and not let the outdated conspiracy succeed. Being buried in peace is the greatest comfort for a deceased."

Liu Yuying heard this and said loudly, "No, I want my father, even if he is a puppet." Sima Rui, who had not spoken at this time, said, "We understand your mood, but you should remember, when you go to meet your father with enthusiasm, does he know you? No, he did attack you. What would you do now if Wang Daolin had not saved you? Xie An was right just now." But Liu Yuying still couldn't accept this reality. Xie An said worryingly: "I'm not just this. I think when the national master uses these puppets again, will there be any greater conspiracy in them?" Sima Rui said, "It's not whether there is a conspiracy, but there must be. But what should we think of now?" At this time, someone came to report that the statistics came out. We were nearly 7,000 casualties, and Sima Deren suffered more than 10,000 casualties. Five thousand were captured by us.

Although Sima Deren suffered more casualties, Xie An and his team were limited after all. In any case, it was a great victory for Xie An and the others. So Sima Rui ordered the whole army to celebrate the great victory of Tucheng. Reward the three armies and the army to scramble for the banquet. For the prisoners, try to persuade them to stay. If they really don’t want to stay, they will be dismissed. The city is held here to celebrate, but Sima Deren was depressed. Due to his negligence, the food and grass in the army were burned. He originally wanted to use a day to defeat Xie An and the others, but Wang Daolin and others did not expect to take the only one

The food was burned. From morning to now, every soldier was exhausted, some people had not yet entered the water and rice, and their morale was low. At this moment, someone suddenly reported that more than thirty trucks of food were found in a valley. They killed the guards and brought all the food back to the army. Sima Deren was overjoyed when he heard this. Although there were very few, it was better than not. So on the one hand, he ordered the local officials to send food to the army as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he was preparing to send letters to the national army and tell him the situation here. But what puzzled him was how Xie An and the others knew that the military food was in Liucheng?

He told the question to the counselor beside him. This person usually couldn't stand Zhao Guokai's arrogance, so he took the opportunity to say, "Who else? Prince, think about it, how many people are there in Liucheng?" When he reminded him, Sima Deren slapped his thigh and said, "It must be that Zhao Guokai. This ungrateful thing he actually hurt me, which really makes me feel disappointed." So in his letter to the national teacher, he emphasized that Zhao Guokai rebelled and defected to Xie An and sold the military food location, resulting in a large number of military food being burned and heavy losses. At present, I am organizing forces to fight to the death with Xie An and others. At the same time, he also suggested to the national teacher to eradicate Zhao Guokai's family. After writing, he sent someone to ride 800 miles to the capital for rushing to the capital.

At this time in Tucheng, Xie An and Sima Rui discussed a plan to withdraw the army. Sima Rui said: "Although he was victorious this time, Sima Deren's threat is still there. Although he is low in morale, he still has an absolute advantage in quantity. I am worried that he will make a comeback." Xie An said: "This is also what I worry about. Although he is defeated now and his military rations are in short supply, he will order grain collection to local officials in various places as the prince. Then the military rations will be continuously transported, and then we will fall into unprecedented passiveness.

.” Xie An said, “Prince, I have a plan to curb the enemy,” Sima Rui said, “Is there a magic plan for gods and demons?” Xie An said, “Tonight, you can send a group of people to sneak into the enemy camp and catch him off guard.” Sima Rui said, “I have this intention, I don’t know who to send?” Xie An said, “Wang Daolin, Wang Qiang and Wang Daohe lead 500 cavalry to attack the enemy camp at night. I think they have just defeated the battle and are in a low mood, but they will succeed.” Sima Rui was overjoyed and said, ‘I will see them off tonight.’

Sima Rui ordered: "I'll invite Wang Daolin, Wang Daohe and Wang Qiang." If the time is not to be fought, the three of them will come to the central army tent. The guests and hosts will sit down. Sima Rui said: "Although we have won the battle today, our situation is still very serious. Sima Deren's army still has an absolute advantage in number. Although they are temporarily retreating thirty miles because of lack of military rations, as long as he collects all the military rations, Sima Deren will soon kill him, and we will be passive at that time." How smart these three people are, they will understand as soon as they hear it.

Wang Daolin stood up and bowed and said, "Prince, just say whatever you have." Xie An said, "I know that all three of you are working hard. I want you three to lead 500 cavalry to run to Sima Deren's camp at night. Today they were defeated and their morale was low. It was a good time for us to use troops. You can break into their camp and play a role in striking their morale. I wonder what the three of you mean?" When the three of you heard this, they stood up. Wang Daolin said, "Military advisor, please give me a message."

"Tell me." Xie An said, "Okay, the five hundred surprise soldiers have already been gathered. Just wait for you to come. The prince will see you off in person later." The three of them said in unison, "As long as they can defeat Sima Deren, they will be broken to pieces." After that, the three of them walked out with a serious expression. Everyone knew that the expedition was in danger. No matter what, there were 20,000 people, but we only had 500 people. If we were done, we could come back. If we didn't do it well, we would die with the enemy.

The three of them followed Xie An and Sima Rui to an empty field outside the central army tent, and stood 500 cavalry here together. Although they had a bloody battle during the day, now standing here, a mighty and spirit doubled. Sima Rui came to these soldiers and said loudly: "Brothers, now our enemy Sima Deren is stationed thirty miles outside the city. Do you have the confidence to smash his hard drive and defeat his army?" The strange soldiers immediately replied loudly: "Yes," "Okay, this is my Sima Rui's soldiers. As long as they are defeated and destroyed, we can be safe." After saying that, he said loudly: "Get wine."

Time was not long, and someone reported more than ten jars of wine. Sima Rui asked someone to pour the wine into the bowl and handed it to a soldier with his hands. Sima Rui raised the wine high above his head and said loudly: "Brothers, this is a bowl of strong wine. I will finish this cup first, which is to say to everyone's farewell." After that, he raised his head and drank it all. Then he bowed and said: "I, Sima Rui, thank you again." After saying that, he knelt down on his knees and said: "Thank you everyone. When you pass by triumphantly, I will also hold the Arc de Triomphe for everyone to celebrate the celebration wine." His words made the people present burst into tears. They drank the wine in one go, and then threw the wine glass to the ground. Wang Daolin and the other two brought their saddles onto the horses and bowed to Sima Rui and said: "Prince, come back and see you." After saying that, he left with a long horse.

When it was almost midnight, the east gate of Tucheng quietly opened, and a group of people rushed out of the city and disappeared into the vast night.
