Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 376
"Military advisor..." After receiving the report from the people below, Guan Yu had no choice but to go to Jia Xu.

"General, there is no need to worry. My subordinates have already sent orders to Lieutenant Ma to pursue Linqiu to the east." Jia Xu replied.

As soon as the enemy's breakthrough began, he had already begun to make arrangements.

"Why Linqiu?" Guan Yu was a little confused. The other party was going south. Normally, shouldn't he go to Shanyang County?

After Juancheng, there is basically no danger to defend. We have to fight all the way to Jinan before we can encounter some dangers.

Normally speaking, once Juancheng is defeated, Yanzhou has nothing to defend.

Not to mention Dongjun and Jiyin counties, just say that Shanyang can be almost lost. It is safer to go directly to the Taishan Peiguo area to guard it.

"The other side still has an army in Pingyuan Kingdom, which can be transferred back at any time. After all, Cao Cao is not willing to give in and wants to bring Juancheng back." Jia Xu replied.

In the past, Linqiu only temporarily checked the situation and called back when conditions allowed. It was not allowed to go north or south for convenience.

Also, when checking the trophies, I found that the supplies were a little short.

It can also be said that it was burned by fire, but Jia Xu personally checked the embers, made a rough estimate, and determined that there was indeed a problem with the quantity of supplies.

Too few, and Cao Jun can only hold on for ten days at most, which is unreasonable.

It's a pity that he didn't capture a few prisoners, and he didn't know anything about it. In just half a day, Cao Cao secretly transported the things out.

Everything he knows has been taken away by him, and the rest is unknown.

No matter how the captured prisoners are interrogated, the final result is probably "I don't know."

If he didn't know, he couldn't be sure whether there was something wrong with the supplies, but Jia Xu felt that there must be something wrong.

The other party realized something and prepared an escape route in advance.

But it doesn't matter, this was also within his consideration range.

If the other party is willing to continue fighting, then let them continue fighting.

Jia Xu wished they could continue fighting. After all, besieging Cao Cao was his ultimate goal. He was really looking down on him just to repel the opponent.

Not completely killing the enemy, especially the enemy who poses a certain threat, would be cruel to oneself.

"Then we also pursue them?" Guan Yu was a little surprised.

Ma Dai has already chased him?

When did things happen that I didn’t know about at all?

Surprised, but not dissatisfied.

Cao Cao suddenly ran away and disappeared. Now the environment is dark and he doesn't know where to pursue him.

Guan Yu couldn't say whether Linqiu was in the right direction. It might be, it might not.

It doesn't matter anymore, at least there is a general direction.

If you catch up with the best, if you can't catch up, there is nothing you can do about it...

At both ends, Cao's army headed south and then turned to the northeast.

Two hours later, around three or four in the morning, we were about to arrive near Linqiu.

After not sleeping for a day, many soldiers were already drowsy, but there was nothing they could do. If they didn't arrive at Linqiu quickly, the danger would always exist.

"We're almost there, just pass the village gathering in front." Xiahou Dun led the way, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

They haven't fought much yet, but they are losing ground.

After tens of thousands of troops left Juancheng, only five or six thousand were left.

First, during the breakout formation, some people were surrounded and then defeated.

The second step is to attract enemy troops in Juancheng and give them time, which is another one or two thousand.

Finally on the road, some people realized that something was wrong, or the period collapsed, and there were also hundreds of people who ran away midway.

In total, this war has not officially started yet, and one-third of the soldiers have been lost.

It was only when there was a serious problem with morale that hundreds of people fled.

"If we gather in this village and leave 2000 people to ambush here..." Seeing the village gathering in the distance, Cao Cao had a new idea.

The enemy may be pursuing them, and ambush one or two thousand soldiers here may catch the pursuers by surprise.Of course, it's okay if we don't catch up. We can just return to Linqiu when the time comes.

Anyway, it's less than five miles away from Linqiu.

Du Xi was sent here first, bringing food, grass and baggage, but he didn't know what the situation was like.

The area east of Juancheng is basically their own territory.

Guan Yu can bypass them and attack other places, but this means that the defense here will be empty. In turn, they can defeat Yanzhou and even Yuzhou.

Even the moment the army passed by Juancheng, they could send troops to attack the opponent's supplies.

So if Juancheng is here, it will not be easy for Guan Yu to go there. This is the nail that fixes Guan Yu's troops here.

Leaving Juancheng, that's a problem. The other party can go and defeat other counties in Jiyin openly, or they can raid Jinan Kingdom, or even go to Shanyang County.

Retreating to Linqiu may seem like a retreat of only twenty miles, but in fact several counties are in danger.

There is not much time left for Cao Cao. If he wants to counterattack, he can only chase for a few days. Otherwise, he can only retreat to Xuzhou and use Qingxu to resist.

Of course there is another option, which is to surrender directly.

But based on what he had done in Xuzhou and Liu Bei's character, he would not be able to escape death, and it might be difficult for his family members to become officials.

No matter what, one life can still be saved.

Cao Cao hesitated. After all, as long as there is a chance, after two or three generations, maybe the Cao family can recover...

It's a bit emotional that everyone is in their thirties and their background is better than Liu Bei's.

After all, to put it bluntly, a clan member of the declining Han Dynasty is still a clan member of the former Han Dynasty.

"Kill!" As he said it, thousands of people from the village gathering came out to kill them, none other than Xu Shubu.

Xu Shu came here early to set up an ambush, but met Du Xi who was delivering supplies to Linqiu on the official road, and the two started a fight.

Du Xi was defeated, he himself was captured, and his army fled into Linqiu County in panic.

The encounter with Du Xi was an accident. Both sides rushed to fight, just to ensure that the reason why they came here was not leaked. Xu Shu had to go to the battlefield in person, and he had forgotten all the art of command.

In the end, Du Xi was lucky enough to be captured, defeated the opponent, and seized a large amount of supplies. He himself was slightly injured, so it was not a big problem.

I just murmured in my heart, whether this was really a coincidence, or the military advisor had already calculated it to this point.

If it was the latter, then he was suddenly called over and was not informed that Cao's army might divide his troops. That was purely intentional.

Especially with Jia Xu's character, he can really do this kind of thing.

Suddenly seeing another army coming, he felt unhappy and immediately led his army to kill them.

Normally, he only had a thousand soldiers on his side, and there were some casualties, leaving only about [-] in the end.

But no matter how the opponent looks at it, there are thousands of them. If they go out in a surprise attack, they don't know who will hit whom.

However, Xu Shu knew that if the other party came here in the early morning, he would definitely be driven out of Juancheng, which was exactly the situation where morale plummeted.

Coupled with the fact that the village was blocked by the crowd, it was not clear how many of them there were, especially since it was still dark. How long would it take for them not to attack at this time?

Just rush to the enemy's position, fight for a while, and then easily retreat. In the end, they may end up killing each other.

"Why are there enemy troops here?" Cao Cao was shocked. The enemy didn't light a torch, so naturally he couldn't see how many people there were.

But calculating the distance, it was impossible for the other party to send such an army here to ambush him in such a short period of time.

Even if the cavalry pursues it, it will arrive at around this time at most...

"Da da da da..." The sound of horse hooves came from behind.

Cao Cao looked back and saw a cavalry chasing him, with a large number of torches, like a giant dragon.

What's worse is that I might be doomed!
