Tao Ying was in front and Guo Jia was in back. He evacuated Yishan and retreated to Wuyuan.

Liu He followed him all the time, but he did not catch up and launched an attack. The reason was very simple. Lu Su led his subordinates to the palace, and he did not dare to act rashly. Since Sun Ce took the initiative to give up Yishan, he could occupy Xia Pi calmly, so he didn't have to fight with Sun Ce. No matter what accident happened in the battlefield in Yanzhou, Wen Chou defeated those thousand cavalry, even if he helped Yuan Tan, this good fate would be settled.

Tao Ying entered Wuyuan City safely and was very grateful, so he repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Guo Jia. Wuyuan is a county of Pengcheng Kingdom. When Tao Qian was forced to cede Pengcheng, Sun Ce also asked him to station in Wuyuan City without calculating him. This view of sharing weal and woe makes him feel relieved. With such a strong allies, what else can he worry about?

After settling Tao Ying, Guo Jia continued on the way.

As soon as he arrived in Fuyang, Guo Jia received the news from Sun Ce. Sun Ce defeated Wen Chou in Qi County, beheaded more than a thousand, and seized countless war horses, with more than 700 war horses alone. He left war horses and some pack horses in Qi County, and only brought 400 pack horses to Fanghe.

Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief and asked Xu Chu and Yan Xing to go first and prepare to pick up Sun Ce. For Sun Ce, horses have always been a shortage of resources, and even 20% of the horse preparation cannot be guaranteed. In order to ensure that there was enough horsepower available, Sun Ce had to draw the war horses that Yi Congbat had to transport for transportation. Now that a large number of horses have been seized, Yi Congbat can go into battle.

Guo Jia informed Tao Ying of the results of the battle. Tao Ying was also very happy to learn about Sun Ce's victory. Guo Jia and Tao Ying jointly issued an order to inform Sun Ce of his amazing achievements and at the same time, they made the surrounding counties more vigilant. Sun Ce succeeded in the raid, not encircled and annihilated. There were nearly a thousand people in the defeated remnants, and the Hu people were the main ones. He lost the control of the generals and looted the village was almost inevitable. For the Tao Ying brothers, this was a threat that cannot be ignored.

——

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

Liu He was shocked, and the result was completely beyond his expectations. He immediately sent people to inquire, recruit the defeated soldiers and inquire about the news, but his knowledge was still limited. The defeated soldiers who escaped were still in shock and had different opinions. He only knew how they were defeated, but no one could explain it clearly.

Wen Chou’s whereabouts are unknown, and no one knows whether it is life or death.

Liu He was frightened and did not dare to act rashly. He asked Xun Chen for advice, but Xun Chen said he was powerless. He did not understand why Wen Chou lost. His advantage was so obvious. Even if he was in trouble, it should be the result of both sides. How could he lose a big defeat? This is not like Wen Chou's normal level.

Chunyu Qiong and others expressed similar views.

At this time, Liu He understood. Xun Chen, Chunyu Qiong and others didn't care about Wen Chou's life or death. Xun Chen did not 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. Without Wen Chou, he could not lose Xun Chen again. He temporarily handed over the command of the army to Xun Chen, and took a thousand cavalry out of the camp to chase Guo Jia. One was to gather the defeated soldiers and preserve their strength as much as possible, and the other was to find an opportunity to raid Guo Jia. Since all the cavalry were taken away by Sun Ce, Guo Jia was all infantry, and he could use the speed advantage of the cavalry to bully Guo Jia and revitalize morale.

——

Yuan Tan hurried into the tent of the baggage camp, looked at the dying Wen Chou, and his eyebrows were twisted into pieces.

He knew Wen Chou and knew that Wen Chou led his troops to Yuzhou with Liu He, and should be in Xuzhou now. He was very surprised that Wen Chou appeared here and was seriously injured. He knew that Wen Chou's ability was not only good martial arts, but also had a strong ability to command cavalry. Sun Ce's number of cavalry was limited, only about a thousand cavalry, and Wen Chou had an absolute advantage. How could he be defeated and defeated so miserably?

Wen Chou’s personal guards couldn’t explain clearly. They were only responsible for Wen Chou’s safety and did not care about specific tactics. They only knew that they met Guan Yu outside the Xia Ting, and then more than ten cavalry rushed over, and Wen Chou was injured and dropped.

"Guan Yu?" When Yuan Tan heard this name again, he felt an indescribable disgust.

Xin Pi asked carefully and saw that there was no more information, so he asked the doctor to treat Wen Chou well and pulled Yuan Tan out of the baggage camp. When the cold wind blew, Yuan Tan's mind became clearer. He looked at Xin Pi and found that Xin Pi's face was not very good, not as calm as before, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"George, what's wrong?"

Xinpi did not speak, and continued to walk forward a few steps before gradually calming down. He lowered his head, looked at the land beneath his feet, and suddenly said, "General, it is probably Sun Ce who commanded the troops."

"Why do you say that?"

"There is no reason, it's just a kind of intuition." Xinpi shook his head and looked worried. "This kind of tactic is no different from gambling. It not only requires great courage, but also requires extraordinary computing power. It takes all kinds of factors to the extreme to create such a result. After thinking about it, only the Pengcheng strategy was comparable to that of that year."

"The Battle of Pengcheng?" Yuan Tan's heart skipped a beat. "You mean, Xiang Yu led 30,000 cavalry to raid the Battle of Pengcheng, which was a 560,000 army of Emperor Gaozu of Han?"

Xinpi didn't say anything, but Yuan Tan had already learned the result from his eyes and couldn't help but breathe a breath of air. He felt his throat a little dry and forced a smile and said, "George, are you too nervous? Wen Chou only has two thousand riders, and it's understandable that he was in a while..."

"Wen Chou is certainly not enough to be compared with Emperor Gaozu of Han." Xin Pi interrupted Yuan Tan's words and looked directly into Yuan Tan's eyes. "Is this tactic, I say it is this tactic, this tactic of putting it to death and the tactic of long-distance raiding by the most elite cavalry, is it a bit similar to the King of Chu? He came all the way from Xia Pi, of course not for Wen Chou, but for the Lord."

Yuan Tan closed his mouth tightly, his face a little ugly. In the battle of Junyi the previous year, he had experienced Sun Ce's raid, defeated Liu Bei in one battle, and killed Jiang Qi in another battle. Now Sun Ce used similar tactics again, killing Wen Chou, who had superior troops in one battle, and he should not be underestimated.

Compared with two years ago, his strength has not improved significantly, but Sun Ce is no longer Sun Ce at that time. Can he still win if the two fight again? Others don’t know, but he knows that he only won the fame in that battle, but in fact he did not gain any advantage.

"George, what should we do?"

Xinpi's eyes flashed. "Increase the number of personal guard camps and do not give Sun Ce a chance to raid. Be invincible first. Launch an attack on Sun Jian immediately. Attack him will rescue him and force Sun Ce to fall into a dangerous place. He ordered Lu Qian to defend Hulu, and no matter what, the infantry who followed him could not rush to the battlefield."

Yuan Tan nodded repeatedly and walked quickly towards the central army's tent. Xin Pi quickly followed. The two of them were thinking about their own thoughts and didn't say a word. After entering the central army and approaching the door of the tent, Yuan Tan suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xin Pi.

"George, can Zixiu stop it?"

Xinpi looked at Yuan Tan and said lightly: "The envoy can notify him and let him pay attention to safety. There is no need to think too much about other things. As long as you can kill Sun Jian and make great contributions, you can make up for any losses. In case of dissonance, you will lose the east corner and gain the sun. You will not lose a plan."
