However, the more generous his words were, the more hesitant he became. Clenching his sword tightly, he attempted to pull it out a few times, but in the end, he was forced to return it to the scabbard and let out a soft sigh.

Tian Gan, who was at the side, saw Fan Yicheng's situation clearly, so he stepped forward and said: "Now, the enemy is small, but the great general is worried that if this battle is not won, then the upper mediocre cities will all perish together?"

When Fan Yuzhen heard Tian Gan's question, he finally voiced out the worries in his heart, "Brother Tian Gan, you guessed that this is what I was worried about. If this were to implicate the innocent citizens of the Upper Sky, then even if I were to enter the netherworld, I wouldn't have the face to face with the innocent villagers and elders of the Upper Sky!"

When Yang Duohe and the others heard this, they immediately went forward and kowtowed and said, "The life of a mediocre man was saved by the great general. Now we should return it to the great general. We are willing to follow him with our deaths!"

Fan Yuzhu was looking forward to seeing everyone's determination, so he was sincere. Tears welled up in his eyes as he helped everyone up and said, "Good brother, good brother …"

Tian Gan and Zhong Li both took in this scene and lamented it in their hearts. Finally, Tian Gan could no longer hold himself back, he stepped forward and suggested to Fan Yuchen: "Since the great general does not wish for us brothers to make unnecessary sacrifices, why not abandon the city and leave?"

When Fan Xian heard Tian Gan's words, he was slightly worried: "I had thought of abandoning the city. Even if we abandoned the city and left, who knows where these old, weak women and children would go? If we were to be pursued by the Qin, I'm afraid we will not be able to escape this calamity. "

Tian Gan heard Fan Yuzhan's concern and then added, "The Qin army just gathered in Hanshui, so they didn't stop for even a moment before wading in the water. General Yang and I will lead the rest of the Qin army to ambush and log in at the Hanshui coast, delaying their progress. General Yang and I will lead the citizens of the city out of the city in the dark of the night, heading for the land of the Nine Barbarians.

Fan Yuzhan was originally somewhat worried, but after hearing what Tian Gan said, he felt that it was a good idea. He immediately relaxed his frown and clasped his fists towards Tian Gan, thanking him, "Brother Tian Gan's best course of action is to let me open up. If I am able to relieve the citizens of the city, I will personally kowtow to you and express my gratitude to you."

"General, where do you think you're going? General, the heavens admire your ability because it's related to the safety of the citizens and generals. How dare you claim credit for what you've done?" This matter should not be delayed, please make the arrangements as soon as possible. " Tian Gan said shamelessly after hearing what Fan Yuzhen said.

"Then we shall act according to Brother Tian Gan's plan. I will be counting on Brother Tian Qian and Brother Yang." Fan Xian issued the military order, clasping his hands towards Tian Gan and Yang Duan.

"General, don't worry. We will do our best!" Yang Duan and Tian Gan also cupped their fists as they received the military orders. Together with Tian Gan, they received a group of elite masters. They immediately mounted their horses and headed straight for the north bank of the Han River.

It was already dusk when the Qin army had landed. As expected, the Qin army was already exhausted from the continuous rush. Moreover, last night they had drunk too much alcohol and were still unconscious, so the moment they landed, they ordered their men to set up camp. They only needed to rest for a while.

Now that he had landed on the shore, if he did not promptly use his skills to advance to the upper class, and if he stayed in the city and stayed on guard, he would only be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort. However, he was also an extremely cautious person. He was able to successfully reach the north bank without the slightest resistance. This made him puzzled. He knew that he was a great general who had gone through hundreds of battles. He knew that fighting in the natural moat of the Han River would allow him to achieve twice the results with half the effort.

"General, since we have successfully landed today, in Sima Kong's opinion, we should take this opportunity to kill Fan Yuwen and take him by surprise." Seeing that Huan Huan had stopped, Sima Kong immediately went to Huan Huan's camp to persuade him.

Huan Feng had always been unconvinced of Sima Kong's words, so how could he be willing to listen to them? He said with utter disdain, "Fan Yuzhen has always been a cunning soldier. Now that he's successfully landed, there must be an ambush waiting for him. I should set up camp to guard the stronghold and advance steadily according to this. If I were to be ambushed by him, wouldn't I lose a large number of soldiers?"

"The 'Lu Family's Art of War' has its limits. If the Great General does not strike while the Great General is unprepared, it will be even harder to defeat him once he has regained his footing." Seeing that Huan Huan was unwilling to listen to his suggestion, Sima Kong tried to persuade him again and again.

"Right now, our army has been travelling all night and is already on the move. We have yet to stabilize our footing, so how can we go all the way in one go?" If they were to be attacked head on by that person, the losses would be even more disastrous. There were also many ways of fighting: to wait upon the enemy with leisure, and to win ten times over the enemy. "Sir Sima, it must be known that it is not only your trash, Father Lu Zhong, who possesses his martial arts. There are countless people in this world who can defeat him." Not only did Huan Ling refuse to listen to Sima Kong's advice, he even started to mock him with cold words.

"Great General is right!" When the generals heard these words, they immediately began to flatter him.

When Sima Kong saw that the crowd was all against him, he could only sigh lightly. Then, he said, "Since the general is unwilling to use Elite Armaments to defeat him, then Sima Kong can only take his leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Kong walked out of the camp by himself.

"Humph, this old man is just a pedant, yet he dares to talk to me, Huan Feng, about military strategies. He really doesn't know his place." said Huan Feng unhappily to himself as he saw Si Kong walking away.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, making Huan Feng's ego even more inflated. However, what they did not know was that at the top of the tent, there was a black shadow clearly listening in on their conversation. While everyone was flattering them, he took the opportunity to fly through the main camp.

After Sima Kong left Huan Feng's camp, he immediately took a look at the terrain of the Han River shore. However, when he saw that there was no one by the shore, he became extremely calm, causing him to feel uneasy.

"Lord, I've led my men to scout the surroundings, but there are no traces of enemy troops within a few miles. Could it be that this Fan Yuzhan has already fled after hearing that my army was about to arrive?" The foster son asked Si Kong with a hint of doubt after he made a round of inspection.

Faced with the confusion of having a servant, Sima Kong only shook his head slightly and said, "Fan Yicheng is an old general and is currently at a disadvantage in terms of military strength. He definitely knows how to use the Han River Heaven Chasm to obstruct our army."

"Then why haven't we seen any enemy troops?" Although the foster son knew that what Sima Kong said was true, he still didn't understand the current situation and what he had deduced.

Sima Kong only said, "Not necessarily." Then, he led the keeper towards a relatively hidden slope. When he reached the side of the slope, he pointed at the slight marks on the ground and said, "This place is rather high, and with these complicated footprints, someone must have ordered someone to place a sentry on the top of the hill."

The servant followed Si Ma Kong's instructions and also looked carefully at the messy pile of footprints. They were indeed overlapping footprints. Then, he jumped up and went straight to the top of the slope. Sure enough, there were wooden stakes in the surroundings. If he thought about it carefully, this must have been the observation platform. Then he stood up, jumped down from the platform, and reported to Sima Kong, "As you expected, the rebel army has a lookout spot on this peak. "Alas, I was too busy looking for signs of movement to notice these potential tracks.

However, his brows were tightly knitted together in layers of mist, and he said with a heavy heart, "It seems like every move of our army is already under the control of the enemy. Now that the enemy is in the dark, it's best to be on high alert, and never let the traitors find an opportunity to sneak attack our army's main camp while it's night."

"Milord, don't worry. Tonight, I will do my best to not hold anything back. If he dares to attack me, I will make sure he will not return." The servant heard Si Ma Kong's warning and replied confidently.

As the sky gradually darkened, the weather to the north of Hanshui began to darken. Soon, heavy rain began to fall. The rainstorm was as big as a broad bean, and it fell heavily around the camp. The rainstorm quickly turned into a thick layer of fog that shrouded the entire base.

From the star signs, Tian Gan's judgement had indeed been fulfilled. The continuous torrential rain had already arrived. Of course, this had long since been seen through by Si Kong, so all of the generals in the general's camp gradually started to gain some insight into Si Kong's words and they all secretly sighed in admiration. However, due to the face of Huan Feng, all of the generals were only silently sighing in admiration, and no one dared to object.

Due to the onslaught of this torrential storm, not only was Huan Feng's army not repaired, but they were also very tired. The harsh weather, which was filled with thunder and lightning, made it difficult for them to sleep. In addition to the heavy humidity that permeated the air, the Qin soldiers, who had been suffering all year round from the drought, felt very uncomfortable.

Gradually, the torrential rain began to subside, and only at the third fragment of the night did it finally stop. Just at that moment, when the Qin soldiers thought they could sleep in peace, they suddenly heard a sentry shouting outside the camp: "An ambush troop is coming to attack the camp! There's an ambush camp! " They immediately turned around, quickly picked up their spears and rushed out of the camp.

At the time of the Martingale Change, the military discipline of the Lantian Battalion was also very high. Whenever the troops went out to camp, they slept in the same clothes, and once they heard the noise, they quickly went into battle mode. In a short while, the Qin Army quickly gathered outside the camp in an orderly manner without any disorder. This was also the reason why the Qin soldiers, Lian Ke, Wei Wei, and Han Sanjin's main forces had already charged out of the Coronation Valley.

After everyone was gathered, Huan Feng led his trusted generals Pan Fang and Meng Qi out of the hall. He immediately ordered, "The three armies, do not panic. Listen to my orders!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the soldiers stood tall and still, quietly listening to the command of their marshal. Huan Feng's voice rang out once more. "Where are the ambushing troops?!" It turned out that when Huan Feng heard someone shouting, he led his men out to chase after them. However, when he came out to take a look, he saw that his army did not seem to have the shadow of that so-called ambush troop.

"Just as the soldiers were about to sneak in, I was noticed during the patrol, so I immediately woke up the soldiers. When the soldiers saw this, they had already retreated." At this moment, a voice came out from the crowd and answered Huan Feng's question. The crowd looked over and saw that it was actually the Little Tusk General who had previously won the match between Pan Tong and Meng Qi.

When Huan Ling heard his reply, his previously solemn and nervous attitude immediately changed. He turned to the servant and said, "There's no one here now. Am I being lied to?"

The servant saw that Huan Huan did not believe his words, and immediately pointed into the distance, "This general will not dare to do so. Those two groups of people have just left, and General, please take a look at their light."

He laughed out loud and said, "Little Tusk seemed to have just come here for the first time, and has never seen the world before. I'm afraid that these ants are just a few bandits, and they've already been scared out of their wits by my presence. Why do they need to shout so loudly and disturb the rest of the three armies?"

"But …" The foster son wanted to explain further, but Sima Kong, who was standing beside them, grabbed his shoulder, so he no longer spoke.

"The son who was raised was anxious for the safety of the army. I have troubled you all for a moment. On account of your first offense, please consider Si Ma Kong and hope that the great general has forgiven you." After Sima Kong stopped his adopted son, he started to explain the reason for his adopted son's actions.

"Since the Great Sima has personally come forward to plead for leniency, this general will naturally give you face," said Huan Feng with a haughty expression. "Everyone, this is really a misunderstanding. Everyone should go back and rest, just wait for the army to advance tomorrow."

"Okay." The soldiers responded to his words and went back to their own camps.

Just as he was about to explain to Sima Kong, he was interrupted by Sima Kong, "I know what you said just now was not empty talk. The person who disturbed the camp today must have been Fan Yu's arrangements, but since the ambush has already arrived, why did he run away so quickly? I thought there must be a trick in it. I'm afraid that he came to disturb the camp today for a fake purpose behind the scenes. Since the general is unwilling to believe that an ambush has been carried out, then don't alert the enemy or alert the enemy. That's why I stopped you from defending yourself. "Now that you are alone, you should ride quickly after that soldier, find out who he is, and report back to me."
