The Three Kingdoms

ps: Make up for the update owed yesterday!

[Chapter 436 Battle of Youzhou Nine]

Jicheng, the inner city, the Palace of King Yan.

Above the lobby, Gongsun Zan's burly body sat cross-legged in the first place, listening to the news reported by the scouts, his eyes couldn't help revealing a trace of doubt.

"What did you say?"

"Your Majesty, the Wu Kingdom has retreated!"

"Wu Guo actually retreated?"

When Gongsun Zan heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked at the scout captain in front of him with an unbelievable light.

In the early morning of this morning, the soldiers and horses of the Wu State at the east gate and the north gate were completely withdrawn, not one remained, and even the camps were demolished. When the scouts discovered this situation, they immediately reported it.

"This is impossible!"

"Report to Your Majesty, at early morning today, all Wu soldiers from the east gate and north gate have been withdrawn, not one left!" The scout captain looked at Gongsun Zan and reported in a low voice.

"how can that be?"

Gongsun Zan's face was gloomy and uncertain, he took a deep breath, his eyes flickered with puzzled light, after a while, he turned his head, looked at Guan Jing who also showed a surprised face beside him, and asked, "Fang Tu, what do you think?" , Is Wu Guo really going to withdraw his troops?"

To be honest, Gongsun Zan would be the first to not believe it if Wu Guohui retreated.

He would never believe that Sun Ce would hand over Jicheng to Jin. There must be some conspiracy in it, a conspiracy that he couldn't figure out.

"Have you scouted the soldiers around to see if there are any hidden traces of them?" Guan Jing felt a little puzzled at this moment, and his face became serious.

He couldn't believe that Wu Guohui would retreat at this juncture.

Retreat to advance?

Not quite!

Another purpose?

It's possible.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and his eyes became more serious and puzzled.

"Report to the prime minister, the scouts have searched the area tens of miles away, and there is no trace of it. Wu Guo has indeed retreated!" The scout captain bowed his body and reported respectfully to Guan Jing.He said: "However, the two armies of Wu State did not withdraw to Yuyang, they went all the way south and all the way west."

"Going south? Going west?"

When Gongsun Zan heard the words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a gleam of bright and excited light in his eyes: "Could it be that they want to attack Jin's soldiers?"

Jicheng is the soldiers and horses of the Three Kingdoms.In addition to the soldiers and horses of Yan State, there are only soldiers and horses of Jin State. Since Wu State is not attacking Jicheng, it is attacking Yuan Shao.

"It's not impossible!"

Guan Jing thought for a while, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "There is only one city in Jicheng. Wu Guo wants it, and Jin country also wants it. Sooner or later, they will turn their backs. It's just that it's not right to turn their backs at this time."

"Now Jicheng is still in our hands, and our main force is not damaged. Wu Guo suddenly abandoned us and went to attack the Jin army instead. Isn't he, Sun Ce, afraid that both sides will suffer, and we will benefit in the end?".

Guan Jing was not only asking Gongsun Zan, but also himself.

In his opinion.Sun Ce's decision was obviously a bit blind.

Now Yan State still has tens of thousands of main forces, I believe this is something that both Wu State and Jin State know.No matter how arrogant they are, they should understand that Jicheng is not so easy to fight.

Why is Sun Ce sure that after fighting Jin, he can still capture Jicheng?

Is it too confident, or is there another trick?

Guan Jing's eyes sparkled.Some couldn't figure it out, and there was a look of confusion and hesitation that naturally appeared on his face.

"Humph!"

Gongsun Zan snorted coldly, a sharp gleam flashed across his eyes, and said, "Anyway, as long as they can fight, it will be beneficial to us. If they can both lose, I can rest easy."

"My lord, you have to be careful about this!"

Guan Jing still couldn't figure out what Sun Ce was thinking. He looked at the scout general and said cautiously: "Listen well, send scouts to watch the east gate and the north gate to prevent the Wu army from coming back suddenly. Also, look The Jin army in the south city, if Wu Guo wants to go to war with the Jin army, the result will be here within three days."...

As long as it is inevitable that Wu's soldiers and horses will appear, he can feel at ease.

"promise!"

The scout captain nodded, and then walked down.

"Fang Tu, what do you think Sun Ce is up to?" Gongsun Zan narrowed his eyes slightly, still confused.

He would not regard this little overlord of Jiangdong as a brave and foolhardy person, maybe this person may be a little impulsive and irritable, but he is definitely a young hero with both bravery and martial arts.

"My lord, I can't figure it out."

Guan Jing said: "But no matter what he wants to do, now we are defending the city, and all our troops are on the table. We can only respond to changes with the same."

To be honest, Wu Guo's retreat made him a little uneasy.

He always felt that Wu Guo should be brewing some kind of conspiracy, but he couldn't grasp the key point of it, and now he could only watch one step and take one step.

————————————————————

Guangyang City.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses approached the city. On the top of the army, the battle flags of Wu State fluttered in the wind, covering the sky and covering the sky. Thousands of Jin troops on the city saw it, and they were a little frightened.

At this moment, Sun Quan had already led his troops, crossed Liangxiang City, and resisted Guangyang.

Thousands of soldiers from the state of Jin were stationed in Liangxiang City, they were considered good soldiers, but Sun Quan's appearance was too sudden, and he used the Youzhou caravan to swindle the city gate, and then swarmed in.

The Jin army did not expect that someone would suddenly attack the city, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses rushed in, without the slightest resistance.

After crossing Liangxiang, Sun Quan did not stop at all, without saying a word, he went directly to Guangyang.

Now it's a lightning battle.

Only when they suddenly appeared before Yuan Shao came back to his senses, would they have the greatest chance of defeating Yuan Shao's troops and forcing Yuan Shao's troops to retreat.

Guangyang County City blocked the road, so Sun Quan now faces the choice of two roads.

One is to go around, and the other is to fight over.

The first route was to go around, only to go west, and it attacked Ju Yi, the general of the Jin State, and the second route was directly inserted into Yuan Shao's back, and it was to attack Yuan Shao's main camp.
