Tao Ying was in front and Guo Jia was behind, evacuating Yishan and retreating to Wuyuan.

Liu He kept following, but he didn't catch up and attack. The reason is very simple, after Lu Su led his palace, he did not dare to act rashly. Since Sun Ce took the initiative to give up Yishan, he could calmly occupy Xiapi, and he didn't have to fight with Sun Ce. No matter what accidents happened on the battlefield in Yanzhou, Wen Chou defeated the thousand cavalry, even if he helped Yuan Tan, this good fate would be concluded.

Tao Ying entered Wuyuan City safely, was grateful, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Guo Jia. Wuyuan is a subordinate county of Pengcheng State, and when Tao Qian was forced to cede Pengcheng, Sun Ce also let him be stationed in Wuyuan City, and did not worry about him, and this overall view of solidarity made him feel at ease. With such a strong ally, what else does he have to worry about.

After settling Tao Ying, Guo Jia continued to hurry.

As soon as he arrived in Fuyang, Guo Jia received a message from Sun Ce. Sun Ce broke the scandal in Qi County, beheaded more than 1,000 people, and captured countless horses, including more than 700 war horses alone. He left his war horses and some pack horses in Qi County, and only brought four hundred pack horses to Fanghe.

Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief and asked Xu Chu and Yan Xing to go first, ready to answer Sun Ce. For Sun Ce, horses have always been a scarce resource, and even two percent of the horses cannot be guaranteed. Now that a large number of horses have been captured, the Righteous Battalion can go into battle.

Guo Jia informed Tao Ying of the results. Knowing Sun Ce's victory, Tao Ying was also very happy. Guo Jia and Tao Ying jointly issued an order informing Sun Ce of his astonishing achievements, and at the same time asking the surrounding counties to strengthen their vigilance. Sun Ce was a surprise attack, not a siege, the remnants of the rout had nearly a thousand people, and the Hu people were the mainstay, and they lost the moderation of the generals, and it was almost inevitable to plunder the township, which was a threat that could not be ignored for the Tao Ying brothers.

——

Almost at the same time, some of the defeated soldiers fled back to the camp and reported the news of the ambush to Liu He.

Liu He was shocked, this result was completely unexpected. He immediately sent people out to investigate, recruit the rout, and inquire about the news, but his knowledge was still limited. The defeated soldiers who fled back were frightened, and their accounts were different, but they only knew that they were defeated, and how they were defeated, but no one could say clearly.

Wen Chou's whereabouts are unknown, whether he is alive or dead, no one knows.

Liu He was frightened and did not dare to act rashly. He asked Xun Chen for advice, and Xun Chen said that he could not do anything. He didn't understand why Wen Chou was defeated, the advantage was so obvious, even if he was in the middle of the ambush, it should be the result of losing both, how could he be defeated? This is not like the normal level of Wen Chou.

Chun Yuqiong and others expressed similar views.

At this time, Liu He understood that he came over. Xun Chen, Chun Yuqiong and others didn't care about Wen Chou's life or death at all. Xun Chen didn't expect Wen Chou to win, but he didn't expect Wen Chou to lose so badly.

Liu He was very angry, but he couldn't say anything, he couldn't lose Xun Chen anymore if he lost Wen Chou. He temporarily handed over the command of the army to Xun Chen, and he took a thousand cavalry out of the camp to chase Guo Jia. One is to gather the rout and preserve the strength as much as possible, and the other is to find an opportunity to raid Guo Jia. Since the cavalry was taken away by Sun Ce, and Guo Jia was all foot soldiers, he could use the speed advantage of the cavalry to bully Guo Jia and boost his morale.

——

Yuan Tan hurriedly walked into the big tent of the baggage camp, looked at Wen Chou, who was dying, and his brows twisted into pimples.

He knew Wen Chou, and he also knew that Wen Chou led his troops into Yuzhou with Liu He, and should be in Xuzhou now. He was very surprised that Wen Chou appeared here and was seriously injured. He knows Wen Chou's ability, not only has a good martial arts, but also has a strong ability to command cavalry. Sun Ce's cavalry is limited, only about 1,000 cavalry, Wen Chou has an absolute advantage, how could he be defeated, and he was defeated so badly?

Wen Chou's personal guards can't say clearly, they are only responsible for Wen Chou's safety, and don't care about specific tactics. They only knew that they met Guan Yu outside the Xia Pavilion, and then more than ten horsemen rushed over, and then Wen Chou was injured and fell off his horse.

"Guan Yu?" Hearing this name again, Yuan Tan had an indescribable disgust.

Xin Bi inquired carefully, and when he saw that he couldn't ask more information, he asked the doctor to treat Wen Chou well, and pulled Yuan Tan out of the baggage camp. As soon as the cold wind blew, Yuan Tan's mind cleared up a little. He looked at Xin Bi and found that Xin Bi's face was not very good, not as calm as before, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"George, what's wrong?"

Simbi didn't speak, and continued to take a few steps forward before gradually calming down. He lowered his head, looked at the ground under his feet, and suddenly said, "General, it is likely that Sun Ce himself is the one who commands the troops." ”

"Why do you say that?"

"There's no reason, it's just a gut feeling." Simbi shook his head, his eyes worried. "It's a tactic that's no different from gambling, it requires a lot of courage, it's a lot of calculations, and you have to use all the factors to the extreme. I think about it, only the strategy of Pengcheng back then can be compared. ”

"The Battle of Pengcheng?" Yuan Tan chuckled in his heart. "You mean, Xiang Yu led 30,000 cavalry to raid the Battle of Pengcheng with Han Gaozu's 560,000 army?"

Xin Bi didn't speak, but Yuan Tan already knew the result from his eyes, and couldn't help but gasp. He felt that his throat was a little dry, and forced a smile: "George, are you too nervous?" Wen Chou only has two thousand horses, and he has been overlooked for a while, which is understandable......"

"Of course, Wen Chou is not enough to compare with Han Gaozu." Xin Bi interrupted Yuan Tan's words and looked directly into Yuan Tan's eyes. "Envoy, I said this tactic, this tactic of putting oneself to death and being reborn, the tactic of running long distances with the most elite cavalry, is it a little similar to the overlord of Chu? He came all the way from Xiapi, of course, not for the sake of Wen Chou, but for the sake of the king. ”

Yuan Tan closed his mouth tightly, and his face was a little ugly. In the battle of Junyi the year before last, he had learned Sun Ce's attack, taking Liu Bei in one battle, and then beheading Jiang Qi. Now Sun Ce once again used a similar tactic, killing Wen Chou, who had superior troops, in a battle, and he should not be underestimated.

Compared with two years ago, his strength has not improved significantly, but Sun Ce is no longer the Sun Ce at that time, the two fight again, can he still win? Others don't know, he knows it in his own heart, he just won that battle in vain, and he didn't actually take any advantage.

"George, what are we going to do?"

Simbi's eyes flickered. "Increase the number of guard battalions, don't give Sun Ce a chance to raid, and be invincible first. Immediately launched an attack on Sun Jian, attacked him and saved, forcing Sun Ce to put himself in danger. Ordered Lu Qian to hold the lake and land, and not let the follow-up foot soldiers rush to the battlefield no matter what. ”

Yuan Tan nodded again and again, and walked quickly towards the big tent of the Chinese army. Simbi hurried to follow. The two of them thought about their own thoughts and didn't say a word. After entering the Chinese army and coming to the door of the big tent, Yuan Tan suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xin Bi.

"George, can Zixiu stop it?"

Xin Bi looked at Yuan Tan and said lightly: "The envoy can inform him and ask him to pay attention to safety." Don't think too much about the rest. As long as you can kill Sun Jian and make great contributions, any losses can be made up. In case of disharmony, the east corner is lost, and the mulberry elm is harvested, and there is no loss of a plan. ”
