Two days later, on May 16, Xie Yan and his eldest son Xie Zhao and the second son Xie Jun led 25,000 imperial guards to fight, leaving the third son Xie to guard the gate.

According to the scheduled march plan, he left the east gate of Jiankang, went south to Yixing and Wuxing, and passed Zhejiang to Kuaiji. After ten days of rapid progress, the entire army arrived in Qiantang County on May 25. Xie Yan immediately ordered logging, and he led his two sons to the riverside to look at the south bank.

Zhejiang is only wide at the mouth of the trumpet. The width of the river in Qiantang area is about two to three miles, so it is easy to see the opposite side of the river on sunny days.

The father and son were full of their eyesight and vaguely saw a farmer working in the farmland on the opposite river. Xie Zhao couldn't help but wonder: "Father, have you seen it? Could it be that Sun En has not yet arrived? How could he march so slowly?"

Xie Jun took it and said, "Is it because Uncle Wang Shiliu lied about military affairs? It's impossible. What's the benefit of this to him? How can the court not issue an edict to blame?"

As the father and son imagined, Sun En should have surrounded Shanyin and attacked day and night, and sent small troops to grab grain everywhere for food. However, the appearance of the farmhouse on the south bank of Zhejiang puzzled them. You must know that Qiantang County had to surpass Shanyin and Shangyu areas, and Sun En could not send people.

Xie Yan frowned and stared at the opposite side without saying a word.

"Father, look!" Xie Zhao suddenly pointed forward, and a small boat appeared on the river gradually in sight. As the distance approached, it was possible to tell that this was the scout sent to the south bank to inquire about the news.

Soon, the scout came ashore and rushed to the front of the three of them, saying, "Report to General, Sun Ni's army was dragged by the Kuaiji Duwei General's Guard for nearly half a month. Although he had sought opportunities to divide his troops to attack Shanyin several times, he could not succeed. General Guard asked you to cross the river as soon as possible, attack him on both sides, and attack Sun Ni together!"

"Oh?" Xie Yan exchanged unbelievable eyes with his two sons, and then asked quickly: "Tell me the details quickly!"

It turned out that after being trapped for three or two days, the morale of the Zijing army was restored. Sun En tried to encircle Yuyao in division of camps, but the balance of power had changed subtly. His 80,000 army was captured by Wei Feng, with only 73,000 people left. Wei Feng took all the prisoners into use and expanded his troops to 23,000 troops. As the defender, 20,000 to 70,000, although he was still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of number of people, he was not so passive.

What's more, when Sun En's army moved, Wei Feng's cavalry also moved, and at the same time assisted more than 10,000 infantry, using various means such as encirclement, harassment, and attack, forcing Sun En to withdraw his troops and return to the camp. However, Sun En's attempt to send a small group of troops to eat everywhere failed. When he was sent out, he was chased by the cavalry and killed him, and he lost nearly 2,000 people in vain. He could only temporarily stay in place.

As the scout told the story, the father and son were all moved, and Xie Jun bowed: "Uncle Wang Shi and his aunt are indeed unique. This Wei still has some skills. Father, you should order the soldiers to quickly cross the river and join forces to attack Sun Ni, and make extraordinary achievements! Last year, we were late, and were taken away by Xu Daofu, and only received a few empty cities. We have not achieved any achievements. This year, we cannot miss it. If the Wei defeated Sun En alone, it would not be important to lose the credit, where will the face of Xie in our Chen County go?"

Xie Yan pondered for a moment, but waved his hand: "Not busy, General Wei's idea should coincide with his father, but he was to drag Sun Ni down and then look for an opportunity to attack. Since Sun Ni dared to come, he must have prepared food and supplies that could at least support until the end of next month. The military situation in Kuaiji is not too urgent, so there is no need to cross the river too early. What my father is worried about is that Sun Ni saw that Kuaiji has no choice but to take advantage of it, and he might go to Wujun to eat. We don't have ships on hand, so we are afraid that we will not be able to catch up with it at that time!"

Xie Zhao thought about it, so he said, "My father is more careful. So we might as well go to Jiaxing first and then send someone across the river to inquire about the news at any time."

Xie Yan nodded and shouted: "I sent an order to stop logging and camp on the spot. I will go down the river along the river and set up a village with General Wei across the river!"

"As for your order!" He hurried away.

On that day, 25,000 imperial guards stopped crossing the river and began to drive downstream on the second day. Qiantang and Jiaxing were about 230 miles away. Because Sun En was trapped in Yuyao, he was temporarily in a dilemma, so Xie Yan simply stopped rushing and arrived at the north bank of Zhejiang in Jiaxing on May 30th at a speed of 40 or 50 miles a day.

According to the time and itinerary, Xie Yan should have come long ago, but he waited for Xie Yan on the left and did not arrive, and reinforcements on the right were not arrived. Wei Feng had to send people to investigate everywhere. It was June 3rd while waiting anxiously.

Except for hundreds of seriously injured, the rest of the surrendered soldiers were all incorporated into the infantry. On this day, Wei Feng was observing the running-in process of the entire army. Li Zhuye trotted all the way and bowed with a strange expression: "General, brothers have found the whereabouts of reinforcements in the court, but... I dare to guarantee that you would not expect General Xie to go where he went."

"Uh?" Wei Feng was stunned and couldn't help but think carefully. Li Zhugan said this, which shows that Xie Yan's combat ideas must be unexpected.

Wang Daolian said without hesitation: "Did you still huddle in Jiankang and never leave? Oh my God! How long has it been? It's time to climb to the ground!"

Wei Feng also felt that it was incredible. In his eyes, the two armies camped one in front and one behind, making Sun En unable to escape. In the end, the food and grass were cut off and morale was dispersed. This was the way to win. Xie Yan led the army for decades and had rich combat experience. It was impossible for him to understand. Therefore, he stopped thinking about it, waved his hand and said impatiently: "Li Zhu, don't keep it in a silence, hurry up and finish it!"

Li Zhu pointed mysteriously and said, "General, the imperial guards in the court camp were camping on the mountain ten miles from the other side!"

In an instant, everyone was looking at each other. Xie Yan was in Wujun? He was in the court to rescue Kuaiji. He ran to Wujun? No wonder he couldn't see anyone coming.

"Not good!" A trace of bad premonition immediately surged into my heart. Wei Feng shouted: "General Xie must be looking at Kuaiji for the time being, and at the same time, he was worried that Sun En would eat Wujun when crossing the river, so he set up camp on the other side. But in this way, he would be in danger and it would be easy to find a chance to fight Sun En. I have to write a letter to state that it is amazing. Li Zhu, please follow me back to the camp. You will take two brothers later. Crossing the river and ask to see General Xie. I have a few more words to explain to you!"

"As for your order!" Zhu Li hurriedly followed Wei Feng and walked towards the central army's tent.

In less than a moment, Li Zhu had already called two personal guards to leave the camp. In order to ensure safety, Li Zhu did not cross the river in Yuyao, but went upstream for fifty miles. He crossed Zhejiang at night at the junction of Shangyu and Yuyao. The next afternoon, he arrived at Xie Yan camp.

It has to be said that Xie Yan is worthy of being an experienced veteran. The camp is tight and well-organized. In particular, the imperial guards are all full of energy and look confident of victory. However, Li Zhu did not care about the observation, and he also realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly informed the guards of the purpose of the visit. After a while, he was taken to the central army tent.

In the tent, Xie Yan was standing tall and his two sons sat on the left and right. Li Zhu took out the letter and bowed respectfully and said: "Parent General, please contact General Xie under the tent of the Kuaiji Duwei Weifeng. I will submit a letter to General Xie on the order of my general!"

"Oh? Come and take a look!" Xie Yan signaled to the left and right, and followed him to Xie Yan in person.

Xie Yan took it apart and saw, "Hahahaha~~" he immediately stroked his beard and laughed.

Xie Zhao said in confusion: "Father, why are you laughing?"

Xie Yan handed over and said, "You will understand when you look!"

Xie Zhao took the letter and looked at it intently. Gradually, a trace of contempt appeared on the corner of his mouth. After chuckling, he handed the letter to Xie Jun and bowed heavily to the southwest: "My father has been in battle for a long time. Eighteen years ago, because the Qin lord was invaded by the late emperor as the auxiliary general. He and his then vanguard governor (Xie Xuan) crossed the Feishui with eight thousand elite troops, defeating the Qin lord Fu Jian, and was awarded the title of Duke Cai for his merits. I am afraid that your general was still sucking milk at that time? Hahahaha~~"

Xie Junluo glanced and laughed, "My father made great achievements and was a pillar of the country. Fu Jian's millions of troops were also killed in Huainan, let alone Sun Ni and a group of mobs? My father had a good plan to defeat the thief! And your general was just a small general, and by chance he was appreciated by Wang Shibo as the commander of Kuaiji. How dare he be arrogant and pointed at him? Could it be that my father also wanted your general to give advice? If this is spread, I don't worry that the world will laugh! Hahahaha~~"

The tent was filled with laughter from the father and son, and Li Zhu's expression was extremely ugly. He was Wei Feng's messenger. Humiliation of Wei Feng was equivalent to insulting him. In advance, everyone, including Wei Feng, would never have expected that the Xie father and son would be so arrogant!

Perhaps because he noticed Li Zhu's expression, Xie Yan put away his laughter and smiled slightly, "No matter what, General Wei always saved Shuping and Cong's sister. If he had the chance to be a father, he would like to thank him. In addition, he was also out of kindness, don't laugh!"

Xie Zhao and Xie Jun then barely stopped laughing, and the contempt in their eyes was unfair to hide. Although Li Zhu had the urge to turn around, he could still remember Wei Feng's advice, so he advised unwillingly: "General Xie, my general once instructed the last general to force the army to cross the river. On the one hand, it is to prevent Sun Ni from defeating them one by one, and on the other hand, it is to lead the army and support us. Our general personally took his ship and cut off Sun Ni's retreat. How can he invade Wu County? It can also eliminate future troubles. Please think twice!"

Xie Zhao and Xie Jun suddenly looked dark, and a hint of impatientness emerged. Although Xie Yan also felt that Wei Feng was the mother of the mother, he was called Zhengan, with a beautiful and elegant appearance, and he disdained to argue with Li Zhu, so he waved: "Your general's kindness is right, please tell him, he was too worried, I set up a camp around the mountains and rivers, and the rules are strict, how can I take advantage of Sun Ni? Besides, there is no rush to attack Sun Ni for a while, and the safe plan is to stop the thief from food and grass!

But your general, I have not been granted the court to supervise Kuaiji military affairs, so I have to say more because it is inconvenient to say anything, but I have to remind you that your general should not act rashly because of your youth and aura. You should always contact me, coordinate the steps, and find the right time to attack Sun Ni. Okay, General Li, please go back, I will stay and not send you off!"
