Soon, Hou Yuxiao found that name in his memory.
In October five years ago, a message had reached the south.
That message contained the name Lin Xuangan.
On the western front of Lincang Path in Zhongzhou, the National Teacher of Dayu, Pei Ju, personally led an army of five hundred thousand and was cut down by nearly seventy percent by the Emperor Yuliang's forces in the battle at Fenghuo Road at the end of August; on the eastern front of Dongyuan Path, the Grand Marshal of the Great Yu Military, Lin Xuangan, who led an army of five hundred thousand, was ambushed by the Jizhou troops at Qingyutan at the end of August, with only one-tenth surviving, and even Lin Xuangan himself had gone missing, his life or death unknown.
Clearly, the downfall of Great Yu had started from the collapse on both fronts.
Lin Xuangan, Grand Marshal of the Great Yu Military.
