It is not easy to place a large army of 370,000. Even if the Eastern Jin Dynasty made various preparations in advance and built a large military camp, it would still take a long time to place each unit one by one.

Fortunately, all the lords brought their generals and the generals to be responsible for the resettlement of the troops.

After a little resettlement, the lords spontaneously came to the camp where Ouyang Shuo was staying to visit. Among these lords were both the Daxia Dynasty's secret chess and the enemies of the Daxia Dynasty.

But on the surface, everyone is in harmony, and no one can see the clues.

Among the thirteen lords of the Eastern Jin camp, except for the four [Shanhai Alliance], the most heavyweight lord is Ximen Daguanren. As a giant in the [North Sichuan City State], Ximen Daguanren appeared in the Eastern Jin camp, which is really intriguing and attracted countless gazes of exploration.

The official Ximen looked leisurely and turned a blind eye to the eyes he cast.

The atmosphere in the camp was quite strange.

Before Ouyang Shuo made his statement, the lords communicated with each other and tried carefully.

The current situation of the battle is unclear, Ouyang Shuo did not make any promises, but said, "Everyone, wait until I have met the two commanding generals Xie Shi and Xie Xuan, and then make a decision after I have found out the situation."

When the lords heard this, they all looked happy. They came here, weren’t they just waiting for Ouyang Shuo’s words?

At the beginning of the battle, the lords were in a dark state. Now the most important thing is not to go to the other side, but to inquire about information. As a representative of the stranger, Ouyang Shuo naturally has a unique advantage.

"Since that's the case, we won't bother."

After obtaining the accurate letter, the lords naturally became tactful and said goodbye together.

"A group of powerful ghosts."

Looking at the figures of the lords leaving, Feng Qiuhuang said angrily.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, "It's just a mutual use, why do you have to mind?"

"I just can't stand it."

Ouyang Shuo didn't argue. Seeing that it was almost noon, he didn't want to take the liberty to pay homage to Xie Shi and Xie Xuan, so he could only wait until he went there.

The morning passed quietly.

…………

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo took his personal guard to the Central Army camp to pay homage to Xie Shi and Xie Xuan.

This time, I met, one was to be familiar with each other and reported the basic situation of the Ineman Legion as a representative of the Ineman; the other was to take the opportunity to find out where the war had progressed.

Ouyang Shuo wanted to figure it out that the letter Xie Xuan wrote to Fu Jian has not been sent out now. This is a key link in the battle. It was Fu Jian's army's voluntary retreat that led to his collapse without fighting.

On the way there, Ouyang Shuo recalled the situation of Xie Shi and Xie Xuan.

Xie Shi, whose courtesy name is Shinu, is Xie An's brother.

Fu Jian led his army south, and the court removed Xie Shi's position as the Minister of Shangshu Pushe, appointed Xie Shi as the general of the enemy and the minister of the army, and attacked the great commander, commanded his nephew Xie Yan, Xie Xuan and the Western Central Army General Huan Yi and others led their troops to resist.

Xie Shi was able to hold this position and hold a high position. In addition to his own ability, what is more important is his origin. At that time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty court was almost controlled by the two major families of the Chen County Xie family, where the Wang family of Langya and Xie Shi were born.

As Xie An's younger brother, Xie Shi's success is naturally not surprising.

Therefore, in terms of true ability to command troops, Xie Shi is still far from other generals of the same reputation in history and cannot reach Ouyang Shuo's eyes.

Of course, Xie Shi is not useless.

Otherwise, why could Xie Shi stand out in the countless children of the Xie family in Chen County?

During the Battle of Feishui, the main force of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was 70,000 Northern Prefecture Army. At that time, Xie Shi was commanding 10,000 naval troops, which were arranged along the Huai River and the Feishui area, blocking the Former Qin army's way southward.

Xie Shi's plan to drag down the Qin army was not unreasonable. Fu Rong was trapped in Shouyang and could not advance again because he had to cross the Feishui River.

However, due to the arrival of Xie Shi's naval army, it was impossible to gain the advantage of the water, and it was difficult to cross the water. Although Xie Shi's naval army could not pose a threat, it was blocked in the water, but Fu Rong could not solve the problem of breaking the water army. Xie Xuan advanced rapidly, and in less than twenty days, the troops arrived in Shouyang, completing the confrontation between the two armies.

Therefore, the water army of Xie Shi was quite successful in fighting and resisting, but the role of Xie Shi in the Battle of Feishui has always been neglected, because Xie Xuan shone in this battle, covering everyone's edge.

Xie Xuan, whose courtesy name is Youdu, was the nephew of Xie An. He had talent in the country and was good at managing the army.

In his early years, Xie Xuan was the general of the Grand Marshal Huan Wen. In the second year of Taiyuan, in order to resist the harassment of the Former Qin Dynasty, Xie An recommended Xie Xuan as General Jianwu, the governor of Yanzhou, the prime minister of Guangling, and the supervisor of the military affairs of Jiangbei.

Xie Xuan recruited brave men from the people from the north to form and train an elite force, called "Northern Mansions". In the fourth year of Taiyuan, he led his troops to defeat the attack of the Former Qin army, and advanced to the champion general and was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou.

Xie Xuan also has an elder sister who is quite famous. She is Xie Daoyun, a famous talented woman in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the wife of Wang Ningzhi, the second son of Wang Xizhi. Unfortunately, Wang Ningzhi is not only mediocre, but also extremely pedantic. While she was lonely, she was even more miserable in her later years and was a widow for life.

During the Battle of Feishui, Xie Xuan was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the vanguard, and advanced his general Liu Laozhi to lead his troops to attack Luojian at night, and won the first battle. Then he seized the opportunity and used tricks to make the Qin army retreat and cause chaos. He took advantage of the momentum to attack fiercely, and achieved great results of winning with less and winning with more.

It can be seen that compared to uncle Xie Shi, Xie Xuan still has real materials. He is a rare general and the only person who is concerned about Ouyang Shuo.

Similarly, Xie Xuan's progress has a close relationship with his family background.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty implemented the "Nine-rank Zhongzheng system", which made the top-rank no poor families and the lower-rank no nobles. In the society at that time, the poor scholars had almost no chance to make a name for themselves.

…………

In the Central Military Camp, Ouyang Shuo met Xie Shi and uncle and nephew Xie Xuan.

Xie Shi was fifty-six years old at this time, a gray-haired old man. He died of illness six years later. He was considered a long-lived person in ancient times.

Xie Xuan was exactly forty years old at this time. Ironically, Xie Xuan even died of illness a year earlier. In ancient times, most people who fought outside for many years were covered with patients, and very few could live long.

"How could the strange man say he has no clothes? He pays homage to the Grand Commander." Ouyang Shuo bowed.

"No gift." Xie Shi waved his hand and asked, "How powerful is the Ineman Legion?"

Ouyang Shuo gave a brief introduction.

When Xie Shi and Xie Xuan heard this, they looked at each other without a trace, with a surprised expression. With the size of the Yi Ren Legion, they were enough to crush the Northern Prefecture Army.

After all, no matter how strong the Northern Prefecture Army is, it is not as powerful as the elite troops in various territories.

It is embarrassing to lead a strong army with a weak brigade.

Fortunately, Xie Shi was experienced and thick-skinned, and asked, "What do you think about this battle?"

Ouyang Shuo was not nervous, and followed the trend to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us in an easy-to-understand manner, and finally said: "If the Former Qin Dynasty did not have 400,000 Yi Ren Legions to help, it would be a good opportunity for us to take the lead in launching an attack, and we would definitely win in one battle. But now the enemy has 400,000 Yi Ren Legions, so I can't act rashly."

"Also the enemy has a navy to help, it will be difficult for us to cross the river forcibly. At present, both sides are stationed in large armies on both sides of the Feishui River. Whoever attacks first will be at a disadvantage."

When Xie Shi and Xie Xuan heard this, they looked at each other in a speechless manner.

A hint of frustration flashed across Xie Xuan's face, and he was ruthless of his complacent victory for Luojian, and said, "So, the Qin army would not agree to my suggestion of evacuation in the Qin army?"

Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "If I were Fu Jian, I would definitely agree."

"Hmm?" Xie Xuan was puzzled.

Ouyang Shuo said lightly: "Even if the Qin army agrees, will we dare to cross the river?"

"..." Xie Xuan was speechless.

Ouyang Shuo said: "The current advantage of our side is that we are fighting locally and logistics supply is convenient. On the other hand, the Qin army has added 400,000 troops. For them, logistics support will be a huge problem."

As mentioned above, in ancient times, when a large number of troops were stationed in one place, it was a huge test for logistics supply. At present, 550,000 troops were stationed on the west bank of the Feishui River, which was beyond the scope of the Qin army's supply capacity.

Xie Shi asked: "What do you mean is to waste it like this?" He used the Qin army away, but Xie Shi's idea was early in the morning. He was persuaded by Zhu Xu and chose to take the initiative to attack.

Unexpectedly, because of the emergence of the Inhuman Legion, it actually returned to its original strategy.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "At present, this is the safest way."

Xie Shi glanced at his nephew who was still tracing his mind and said, "I will consider your suggestions carefully."

"Then, I'll take a leave first."

Ouyang Shuo had no hope, and Xie Shi and the others agreed immediately, marching was not a joke.

***************

At the same time, the Former Qin army camp and the Central Army camp tent.

Di Chen was also paying homage to Fu Jian and Fu Rong to explain his views on the war.

If Xie Shi and Xie Xuan were just silent after hearing Ouyang Shuo's analysis, then Fu Jian and Fu Rong were frightened.

Fu Jian even secretly broke into a cold sweat in his heart.

According to Di Chen's analysis, if there was no help from the Yi Ren Legion, the defeat of the Former Qin army would be in front of him.

Thinking of the sudden defeat of the 50,000 Qin army in the Battle of Luojian and the prosperous military appearance of the Jin army, Fu Jian just didn't want to believe it, and he had already believed it rationally.

This is how a person's confidence is often destroyed step by step.

Fu Jian obviously did not have the confidence at the beginning, and he also looked at Di Chen with admiration. Fortunately, Fu Jian held a million troops and was not nervous about the 400,000 Yi Ren Legion.

Fu Jian said: "Since that's the case, do you have any suggestions."

Di Chen smiled and seemed to be prepared, saying, "My first suggestion is to behead the traitor Zhu Xu and send his head to the other side. One is to intimidate the generals in the army, and the other is to weaken the morale of the enemy."

During the Battle of Feishui, Zhu Xu not only took advantage of the opportunity to persuade Xie Shi to surrender to Xie Shi, but also revealed the Qin army arrangements to Xie Shi.

When the Qin army moved backwards, the Jin army crossed the water and attacked, and Zhu Xu even shouted behind the Qin army's formation: "The Qin army on the front line is defeated!", which led to a chaos in the Qin army's formation.
