"The emperor has a purpose, the emperor will fight!"
A person who looked like an official of Zhongshu Province suddenly raised a banner on the high gate of Sima Men and shouted loudly.
The soldiers on both sides who were fighting desperately immediately quieted down, all stopped fighting, and shot their eyes at the flag.
From a distance, the flag appeared to be a flag, which was the royal flag used to relieve the fighting.
The King of Huainan knew that in the beginning, his brother the King of Chu was defeated under the Banner of Yu.

However, the situation today is completely different from a decade ago. Now, the King of Huainan himself had soldiers under his command, and he had the advantage in the battle. Obviously, the courtiers of the Zhongshu Province in the palace had clearly seen the situation and, in the name of the emperor, favored their own side. As long as the emperor's envoys could reach him with a banner, it meant that the emperor still recognized his clan status as a royal disciple. At that time, as long as he held the Yu Banner high in his hand, he could immediately wave back the soldiers and horses of King Zhao and enter the palace as a victor.
As long as you can enter the palace and take the emperor into your own camp, it means the arrival of the final victory.
Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, breathed a sigh of relief.

He guessed the vast majority of the matter. But there was a slight and fatal stub that he hadn't thought of; neither did the officials of Shangshu Province. In the midst of the chaos, the emissaries sent by the officials of Shangshu Province were actually Wang Mi under Sun Xiu.
At that time, the chancellor Ji Shao was on duty in Shangshu Province. Seeing that King Zhao and King Huainan were each leading their troops to fight, Ji Shao naturally turned to the side of King Huainan. In a hurry, he sent someone to send a banner to the King of Huainan, the original purpose was to let Sima Yun be able to hold the banner to break the fight, so as to intimidate King Zhao's soldiers not to dare to attack again and achieve the final victory.
Unexpectedly, the yin and yang were wrong, Wang Mi was sent as an emissary, and everything took a sharp reversal.

When Wang Mi came out of Shangshu Province, what he held in his hand was not a yu banner, but a white tiger banner. In the Jin Dynasty system, the White Tiger Banner was used to attack the army, not to solve the fight. And the white tiger flag, from a distance, the shape is particularly similar - the donkey flag, on which there is a bowed tiger with thick black stripes painted on it; on the white tiger flag, is a pure white tiger with a roaring head and no stripes on the body.
At Sun Xiu's request, the white tiger banner that Wang Mi was holding in his hand became the life-taking banner of the King of Huainan.
The battlefield is silent.
It was getting late. The wet and hot wind blew the flag and rattled vigorously. A strangely shaped black cloud surged up over the western canopy. At the top of this black cloud, there is a layer of purple and yellow light, and the color is incomparable. A magnificent light shone on the face of the King of Huainan, and his face was like the northern god of war painted with oil.
Followed by four hundred neatly rehearsed Janissary honor guards, Wang Mi rode on horseback, holding a white tiger banner, and slowly walked towards the battle line of the King of Huainan.
Due to the light, the King of Huainan could not see Wang Mi's face clearly.
"The emperor has an edict to re-appoint the King of Huainan as the Protector of the Middle Guard, and also as a lieutenant!" Wang Mi said in a loud voice, holding up the edict record board in his hand, and signaling Sima Yun to go forward to receive the edict.
This kind of tablet, made of paulownia wood, was used when the Shangshu Province issued an official edict.
The King of Huainan felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He looked up at the sky, and the dark clouds suddenly scattered into several pieces, and a touch of lilac sunset light hung there, as soft as smoke. Between the gaps, an orange-yellow sunset glow shone brightly, emitting a dazzling light that poured down on the earth.
The king of Huainan ordered the sergeant to open the battle and dismount himself on foot. He walked over to Wang Mi, who was riding a horse, took off his armor, lifted his military robe, and knelt down, ready to receive the commandment.
Wang Mi jumped off his horse. After standing still, he suddenly stretched out his right hand, drew a sharp sword from behind his left shoulder, and stabbed deeply into the abdomen of Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, with great speed.
The King of Huainan shouted, stood up, and clasped the handle of the sword exposed outside his body with both hands. At the same time as he shouted, he saw Wang Mi's face clearly. "The thief..."

"The king of Huainan was suspicious, and he called himself a soldier without authorization and attacked the imperial palace, which was really a great rebellion, and he wanted to commit rebellion, and his sins were not forgiven! The rest of the concurrences will not be pursued! Wang Mi turned around and rolled over, waving the white tiger flag in his hand, constantly turning his head, and shouting at the sergeants on both sides of the battle.
Things were so sudden that the army under the King of Huainan would not be able to react in time, and they would be stunned.
Blood continued to burst out from the wound in the abdomen of the King of Huainan, and soon, the dark and dull face of this fearless young man was glowing with a layer of tragic white death color. But on his serious, quiet face, not a single muscle moved even slightly, and no expression of unbearable pain appeared.
In full view of everyone, Sima Yun drew the sword from his abdomen. He looked down at the blood dripping from the sword, smiled a little, and then, holding the blade upside down, pressed the blade against his chest, turned his head, faced the stunned subordinates, and said, "I, the son of Emperor Wu, the son of The Dragon And Fengsun, will never again be like the King of Chu, after being captured alive by such rats, and then executed and humiliated in public!" ”
Then, with a hard stab with both hands, he pierced his own heart...
