The light cavalry had dismounted and buried the bodies of both sides on the spot.

Amidst the singing, the rivers and lakes in the south are faintly visible.

There is Xiapi, a city surrounded by water.

Outside Xiapi City, there were a large number of naval officers and many warships. That was not their home field.

"Report the victory to Commander Xi and kill 1,230 people including Qian Ci, the pioneer general of Zu Ti." Liu Hezhu ordered.

The civil servants accompanying the army spread out their pen and paper and began to write a victory report.

The ancients said that "a boat in the south and a horse in the north" is true.

There is also "use one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses".

The first confrontation between the two major military and political groups, Shao Xun and Sima Rui, ended twenty miles northeast of Xiapi.

After the victorious party swept the battlefield, they left in a hurry.

The losing side arrived near the battlefield by boat in the evening. After sending people to search, they finally determined the location and results of the battlefield.

Xi Jian and Zu Ti, the frontline commanders of both sides, flew to Xuchang and Jianye as quickly as possible.

In the following days, there was calm between the two sides. Each side reduced its troops and tried to find out the other side's deployment and how to avoid fighting in the opponent's advantageous situation.

Xi Jian tried to use the relatively good field combat capabilities of cavalry and infantry to defeat Zu Ti's main force in one fell swoop.

Zu Ti tried to use Xiapi's terrain surrounded by water and nearby rivers and lakes to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

Plus, he's waiting for another advantage.

On May 18, the heavy rain came as expected and lasted for several days.

Between Xiapi and Pengcheng, it seems as if the sky has collapsed, and there is a watery countryside.

At this time, the news also reached Kaocheng via Xuchang.

Shao Xun, who had just met with scholars from all over Yanzhou, opened it and read it immediately.

In addition, he also received another "good news": someone came to look for him because he hadn't been home for a long time.
