Xinmin's First Book

This is a story about Lin Shu taking revenge and attacking Dayu after General Nie Feng of the Red Flame Army sacrificed his life to save Lin Shu. Dayu sent the talented young man Hualang King to assassinate Nie Feng but failed. He killed Xia Dong, burned Langya Pavilion, and killed the old, young, women and children in the Jiangzuo League. Lin Shu vowed revenge. This story has a main line and two sub-lines. The main line is that every battle of the war is inspired by famous battles in Chinese history. For example, the famous Battle of Chuisha was used in the Battle of Liuhe City. The water was shallow where there were many soldiers, and the water was deep where there were few soldiers. The Slippery Wolf King sneaked into the Red Flame Army's food and fodder and defeated the many with less, which is a reference to the Battle of Guandu in the Three Kingdoms and so on. There were more than a dozen battles in total, which demonstrated Lin Shu's superb war art in addition to tactics. The subplot is negotiation. There are several important negotiations in the war. Fighting is used to promote negotiations, showing the superb diplomatic skills of Yan and his son. Ruyan Que Yanhou went to Ye Qin within five days, killed the main warriors, collected Ye Qin's food and grass, and overthrew the Ye Qin emperor without any bloodshed, and helped the prince to ascend the throne. Dayu was defeated and sent important ministers to Daliang for peace talks. Yanhou used war to promote talks and obtained huge compensation from Dayu, which laid the foundation for the victory of the war. Another sub-line is that Emperor Dayu devoted himself to governing the country, and it was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years, so he started a war. In the war, a talented young man like the Slippery Wolf King emerged. As the saying goes, heroes have emerged from young men since ancient times.
