Two hours later, under the leadership of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Jiangdong's army arrived at Wan Cheng.
On top of the gate tower were Yuan Clan's generals. Below the gate tower were Jiangdong's generals.
The two groups of people met face to face.
Gan Ning asked, "Milord, do you want to attack the city?"
Sun Ce looked at his more than 20,000 wounded soldiers and shook his head: "Let's go! Quickly return to Jiangdong and reorganize the army! "
On top of the gate tower, Jia Xu also stopped Zhang Liao and Xu Huang from asking for battle.
Jia Xu said, "Milord has defeated Liu Bei and pacified the East and West Rivers. After returning to the capital, he will go to Jiangnan and pacify the Sun Family. Our mission is to defend Hefei and prevent the Sun Family from taking Huainan. "
Cao Ren's face turned black, "Hefei is gone."
Zhang Xiu said with some worry, "Although we defeated Sun Ce, we lost Hefei. I don't know if this mission is considered complete or not. Will the Duke Of Yan pursue this matter? "
Jia Xu, "… … Oh, that's right. Forget it, General Qiao, please send a letter to Milord and say a few good words for us. "
… …
Bai Xiaowen has already simulated the general process of the battle of Hefei according to the brief text on the Raven Messenger.
"Jia Xu's plan has three advantages."
Bai Xiaowen raised three fingers and said slowly, "Don't worry.
"First, by burning Hefei, not only will it damage Sun Ce's Army, but it will also make Sun Ce unable to defend Huainan. This decision is similar to my decision to demolish Jiameng Pass and Fushui Pass. "
"Second, by dividing our army into three groups, we will attack Sun Ce. If it was not for Sun Ce's unexpected explosion, I'm afraid they would have been completely defeated. "
"Third, by stealing Wan Cheng. Hefei is in the north and Wan Cheng is in the south. As long as we succeed in attacking Wan Cheng and cut off the communication between Sun Ce's Army and Jiangdong, even if the plan to burn Hefei fails, it will not be a big deal. Without Wancheng City, Hefei is just an enclave in Jiangbei. For the Sun family of Jiangdong, its strategic value will naturally decline. "
Li Shuyi, Cecilia, and Han Xu all nodded like good students as they listened to Bai Xiaowen's analysis of the wonders of this battle.
Of course, Jia Xu's intelligence was also built on the foundation of Yuan Jun's strength. In terms of numbers, the Hefei Yuan army had more soldiers than the Jiangdong army. In terms of elite soldiers, they were also slightly stronger than the Jiangdong soldiers.
As for the generals, they were a little weak. However, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Zhang Xiu, these three Lord-class generals, were not much weaker than Sun Ce, Taishi Ci, Gan Ning, and Zhou Tai. They also had Cao Ren and other rare Commander-class generals.
In terms of intelligence, Jia Xu could be said to have completely defeated Zhou Yu.
This also made Li Shuyi and Han Xu a little surprised. After all, Zhou Yu was very famous. His last words, "Since I was born, why should I be born?" made his value rise a lot. It was reasonable that his level in the Three Kingdoms Plane was very high.
Bai Xiaowen thought for a moment and said:
"Sister Qiao also specifically mentioned in the letter that the top awakened person in Jiangdong was actually the former class leader of the Divine Court, Ogyust. In the process of attacking Hefei, Ogyust seemed to have gone all out. He sneaked into the city, fought hundreds of elite soldiers, and finally succeeded in opening the city gate. Of course, he didn't manage to escape after that. He was shot by crossbows and had no choice but to leave the Three Kingdoms Plane. "
"What is he after?" Li Shuyi asked.
"Maybe his time is almost up, and he wants to fight before leaving?" Cecilia said with some uncertainty.
"Maybe he appreciated Sun Ce, otherwise, there are many things that cannot be explained. For example, he used the identity of Sun Ce's brother to enter the Three Kingdoms Plane. Why didn't he replace Sun Ce? Sun Ce is not as suspicious as Cao Cao, so Ogyust should have a lot of opportunities. "
Bai Xiaowen commented: "It seems that Ogyust is different from ordinary awakened people. He doesn't follow the principle of profit. He is an interesting person."
"Aren't you the same? You could have killed Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Zhao Yun, and at least earned a treasure chest. But you didn't kill them. "Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "Lords who are besieged by people from the Spiritual Realm will have their scores greatly reduced. Even if there is a treasure chest, it won't be of much value. In fact, I don't want to become a person who only cares about profit. What's the difference between me and Ghost Qie, who killed his master to prove his Tao? Guan Yu and Zhao Yun of the Samsara Plane have helped you and me. They are half of my teachers. How can I have the heart to kill them? "
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said: "However, I will only do so if it doesn't affect the overall situation. This is different from Ogyust … If I were in his position, I would find a chance to kill Sun Ce in order to become the leader of the force."
Bai Xiaowen led the army back to the capital. When he passed by Mount Jinping in Yizhou, Ge Xuan asked for his resignation.
Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised. He thought he had subdued Ge Xuan, but he didn't expect him to leave.
Ge Xuan was very important to Bai Xiaowen. On the one hand, Ge Xuan had a good attainment in praying after reading the Taiping Sutra. When he defeated Ma Chao at Wei River, he used the praying technique to obtain ten days of northern wind and one night of snow.
In ancient wars, there was no doubt that the weather was important. If it hadn't rained at that time, the outcome of the Three Kingdoms would have been different.
On the other hand, Ge Xuan was Bai Xiaowen's only candidate to contact Taoism in this plane world. He still had the wordless Jade Slip to decipher and the Heavenly Book to understand.
Bai Xiaowen repeatedly urged Ge Xuan to stay, but Ge Xuan had made up his mind.
This was normal. Ge Xuan followed Bai Xiaowen mainly because of Ma Teng's incident. He felt guilty to Bai Xiaowen. Now that Ma Chao had found the real culprit, the cause and effect were removed, so he naturally had nothing to worry about.
Bai Xiaowen had no choice but to hold a banquet to see Ge Xuan off.
Before Ge Xuan left, he stretched out his hand and said: "I would like to borrow Young Master's Jade Slip."
Bai Xiaowen was refreshed. He immediately took out the Jade Slip and handed it to Ge Xuan without hesitation.
Ge Xuan deliberately smiled and said: "This Jade Slip is a treasure left by ancient immortals. It is very likely to record the ancient cultivators' secret techniques. Young Master, you are so assured to give it to me? "
Bai Xiaowen turned on his dupe mode again and said: "I feel like old friends at first sight. Why would I be stingy with such a trivial thing?"
Ge Xuan was obviously touched. He nodded slightly and said: "Young Master, you said before that your Dao is to throw yourself into the troubled world and save the people from the fire and water. My Dao is to avoid the world and cultivate. Our Daos are different. When Young Master unifies the world and ends the troubled world, I will visit again to see if Young Master's Dao has changed. "
Bai Xiaowen sent Ge Xuan off and was a little disappointed.
However, Bai Xiaowen was only confused for 0.1 seconds before returning to normal. He passed through Hanzhong and gathered Pound's 25,000 elite soldiers. Then he passed through Wuguan and Chang 'an and returned to Yedu.
