<h4>312 Reading the Future</h4>


    Leading the soldiers back from the battlefield, Soujin face was calm but the ripple in his eyes was apparent for those who know him personally. When he was fighting with Ye Jiu on the frontline, he realized it perfectly how he couldn''t dictate the battlefield anymore. Although Ye Jiu focused on himpletely, he already instructed his soldiers what they needed to do without him.


    Because of that, the formation he had was almost immediately broken and any attempt to recover the formation ended in vain. No matter how he tried to back off from the fight and gave orders, Ye Jiu would pester him and made him fight with the other party. With their skill, there was no way they could determine the winner fast.


    Without Soujin personally leading the soldiers and giving his order, they couldn''t fight to the fullest. By the time he realized the other party n, the n almost seeded. Luckily, Jun Hua already sent their back up soldiers and allowed him to gain the chance to get out from the trap.


    "Soujin, are you alright?" Jun Hua walked to his side and checked him from up to down.


    He patted Jun Hua head, "Dummy, I''m fine. Thank you for your fast response before."


    "It''s my task," Jun Hua grinned.


    Ming Hui and Yan hurriedlye to Soujin ce. Ming Hui did a quick check up and sighed in relief when he saw that Soujin was mostly fine. There were only small wounds on him, and they couldn''t be categorized as something dangerous.


    "Soujin, how''s the fight?" Ming Hui asked.


    "It''s a disaster," Soujin answered, "He predicts the soldiers'' movement that we had carefully nned before perfectly. It''s like he knew very well how the fight would turn out and counter the battle with his way."


    "You notice it?"


    "When it''s already toote," Soujin answered. Even he couldn''t predict the opponent''s movement before the fight, how in the world did Ye Jiu manage to do that?


    Jun Hua nodded, "It''s like he already knew the future."


    "Are you saying that he''s a prophet?" Yan frowned.


    "I don''t believe in that kind of thing," Ming Hui said, "Maybe he already studied your habit before, you''re famous after all."


    "It''s possible," the fight and the tactic he used previously was not a secret anymore. Besides, the appearance of Jun Hua here was not a secret, so almost everyone could know that both Soujin and the strategist from the Mountain Kingdom were here.


    If he already knew who his opponent was and how they fight, it was indeed possible to predict Soujin''s strategy. However, the chances were incredibly small, which made it almost impossible to guess them correctly.


    "Maybe he''s just lucky?" Yan said in a hesitant tone.


    The three of them shook their head. In their heart, they did hope that it was only a coincidence that Ye Jiu managed to guess the strategy correctly. With the hope of changing the tide of the battle, the next day they came once again to the battlefield.


    Soujin led the soldiers charging towards Ye Jiu. On the headquarters, Jun Hua and the others were watching intently. They want to know, would the next tactic Soujin deploy sessful?


    "Jun Hua, do you have confidence in winning?" Yan asked.


    Jun Hua stared at the battlefield. The two armies have met with each other, and they were crossing their de, "I don''t know."


    "If we cannot win the battle, we will not be able to finish the war."


    Even without Ming Hui telling her that, Jun Hua already knew that. In front of the soldiers, they were looking confident but in private, they didn''t. Her eyes still looked towards the battlefield where Soujin finally shed with Ye Jiu.


    "You still don''t give up?" Ye Jiu raised his eyebrows.


    "There is no word gives up in my mind," Soujin answered calmly. He exhaled deeply and put his entire concentration to the man before him. He would not be defeated.


    Ye Jiu unsheathed his sword, "If that''s what you want, I will be happy to oblige you. But, don''te to regret it when you lose."


    "The one who will lose is you," Soujin said as he charged forward before shing with Ye Jiu. Their two swords made a loud sound as they shed against each other.


    The soldiers retreated to the side as they continue their fight. No one dared toe closer to the two generals'' fight in fear of getting involved. They would better off fighting with the other soldierpared with interrupting the fight of these two generals.


    Exchanging the de with Soujin, Ye Jiu face was as calm as ever. Although he did found Soujin sword to be heavier, he countered the attack perfectly. Without any useless movement, he continued the battle and still kept watching the surrounding.


    "If you don''t focus, you''re going to get hurt," Soujin said in a low tone.


    Ye Jiu smiled slightly, "A general shouldn''t only focus on the battle in front of him."


    "I don''t need to do that," Soujin answered as his dee towards Ye Jiu neck and thetter blocked it seamlessly.


    "Indeed, you''re not alone on the battlefield," for an instant, Ye Jiu face showed a trace of loneliness. Although Soujin was surprised, he didn''t let it go to his head and continued the battle in a calm manner. Nevertheless, he didn''t understand why someone like Ye Jiu would show that kind of face.


    Ye Jiu''s attack was steady and the two of them couldn''t break their exchange because their skills were on par. Maintaining their concentration to the fullest, they shed again and again.


    "General Soujin, you''re indeed an excellent general. But, you would not be able to defeat me," Ye Jiu said in the midst of their fight.


    "And why is that?" Soujin asked calmly.


    "Do you want me to guess your strategy for today?"


    The moment Ye Jiu said that, Soujin could hear themotion from the side. His heart fell, but his face was still expressionless as he exchanged the de with Ye Jiu.


    "Your attempt to surround me has failed," the mocking sound of Ye Jiu made Soujin''s ear itch, but he controlled his emotion as he fought. Despite his mind was in turmoil, he couldn''t just finish the battle like that.


    On the headquarters, Jun Hua noticed the development and quickly sent reinforcement.


    "What is it, Jun Hua?"


    "He guessed the strategy once again," Jun Hua picked up her bow and aimed towards the enemy soldiers, before shooting them down one by one.


    Yan was staring at Jun Hua with a dumbfounded expression. Because yesterday he had task to do, he didn''t see her skill this close. This time, he finally realized how powerful this little girl was. Inside his heart, he vowed to never offend her in case she chose to shoot him with an arrow.


    "Don''t you need to send a messenger?" Ming Hui asked.


    "No need, I already told him to move the moment I fire arrows," Jun Hua fired another one as beads of sweats started to appear on her forehead. Maintaining her concentration, she continued to fire the arrow until both of the formations were broken.
