    "A direct assault would result in too many losses," Kui'an analyzed calmly, his finger tracing the Fen River on the map. "The river is frozen in winter, seemingly an insurmountable barrier, but it could also be a weakness. If we can find a spot with solid ice and lax defenses, we can send elite troops to cross the river at night and strike directly at their grain depot in Jiangyi (present-day Quwo, Shanxi), burning their supplies. Nie Xuan will surely be thrown into chaos! Then our main force can cross the river and launch a strong attack, achieving twice the result with half the effort!" "Cross the Fen River at night?" Liu Ying hesitated. "The condition of the ice is unknown. What if it breaks halfway..." "Fortune favors the bold!" A slightly childish yet unusually fierce voice rang out. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed. He was already tall and robust, almost like an adult, with a face that resembled Shi Le by five or six points, only with more rugged features, and his brows were filled with an untamed wildness and undisguised ferocity. Especially his eyes—narrow, slightly squinting, with pupils of a rare dark gold—looked at people like a beast glaring at its prey, sending chills down one's spine. He was Shi Le's nephew—Shi Hu! A few days ago, this young man, having heard of his uncle's meteoric rise in the Han Kingdom, had single-handedly ridden through Sima Teng's layers of blockade, arriving at Zuoguo City covered in blood (mostly the blood of others). His ferocious deeds of fighting wolves and killing pursuers along the way had already quietly spread throughout the army…
