Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Now, Liu Biao’s main troop station is in Yiling, which is nearly two hundred miles away from Zigui.

Therefore, Wei Yan needed to first lead his troops to Zigui for supplies, and then find a small path near Zigui to bypass the Yizhou army in front and launch a surprise attack on Wu County further behind.

Judging from the geographical location, Wuxian, Zigui and Yiling are the cities arranged in order on the Yangtze River where Yizhou flows out of Sichuan.

However, due to geographical reasons, Wu County was not suitable as a barrier to prevent the Yizhou army from leaving Sichuan, so Liu Biao's previous choice was to directly abandon the small city of Wu County and set up defenses between Zigui and Yiling.

As the first small town that the Yizhou army came to after leaving Sichuan, the importance of Wu County is self-evident.

Not to mention that Wu County will most likely become a transit hub for the Yizhou Army's logistics and food routes. More importantly, if the Yizhou Army retreats back to Yizhou, it will almost certainly have to pass through Wu County.

Therefore, as long as Wei Yan could really succeed in the surprise attack on Wu County, he would not only cut off the food supply of the Yizhou army, but also cut off the Yizhou army's retreat route.

With the threat of Yuan Shu in the north, Jingzhou really can't afford to delay.

Liu Biao had been deceived by Liu Yan's reckless advance. He never expected that the Yizhou army would not launch a large-scale attack, making it impossible for Liu Biao's original plan to lure the enemy into an ambush.

Therefore, now Liu Biao can only place his hope on Wei Yan, hoping that the small path Wei Yan mentioned can really bypass the Yizhou army and reach Wu County in the rear.

At that time, as long as the Jingzhou army takes the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, the Yizhou army will be in chaos and defeated!

Therefore, after Wei Yan led his army to set off first, Liu Biao, who was also making a desperate attempt, began to mobilize a large number of troops from Yiling to Zigui, in order to achieve victory in one battle.

……

Just as the situation in Yi and Jing states began to change dramatically, Guo Jia, who was sailing on a ship for the first time, walked down the Jinmen Port with a pale face.

seasick!

Only after Guo Jia actually boarded the ship did he realize that he was severely seasick, to the point that he almost suspected that he might die on the way.

When Guo Jia once again stepped on solid ground, he looked back at the ship, and there was even a hint of fear in his eyes.

After Zhao Yun commanded the 3,000 white horse volunteers to disembark, he looked at Guo Jia's dull look and said with concern.

"Fengxiao, are you feeling better?"

"Ah!"

Guo Jia's legs were still weak, but he opened his mouth and spoke subconsciously.

"It's just a small thing, but it's a novel experience."

Zhao Yun opened his mouth, but gave up the idea of ​​exposing Guo Jia.

Seasickness is not an uncommon thing.

In particular, there were many northerners among the Baima Yicong, and quite a few of them became cowards once they got on board and could not adapt for a long time.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia rested in Jinmen Port for two days, and sent a messenger to contact Youzhou Mu Liu Yu in advance. After getting Liu Yu's promise, Zhao Yun led the White Horse Volunteers to Jicheng.

If there was no prior contact, such a cavalry of 3,000 people running around in Youyan would likely cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Liu Yu was also very happy about the visit of Zhao Yun and Guo Jia, and personally went to the gate of the governor's mansion to greet them.

After some polite exchanges, Liu Yu asked about the recent situation in Yangzhou. He was deeply saddened to learn that two of his relatives, Liu Yan and Liu Biao, the governors of the states, had started a war.

Afterwards, Guo Jia took out Li Ji's letter and gave it to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu opened the letter in front of him, read it carefully, and seemed to fall into deep thought.

After a long time, Liu Yu put down the letter, raised his eyes to look at Guo Jia, and there was a bit more intimacy in his eyes, and said.

"It turns out that Fengxiao is Zikun's disciple. At such a young age, he can stand on his own and has the style of Zikun." Guo Jia immediately understood that Li Ji must have praised him in the letter, but Guo Jia was not humble at all. Instead, he went along with it.

"If the students are not like their teachers, wouldn't that make the teachers lose face in education?"

"Hahahaha!"

Liu Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "This is unlike Zikun. Zikun is always humble, but Fengxiao is confident and frivolous."

"It's not that I'm frivolous, but I don't dare to bring shame upon my teacher." Guo Jia replied.

"Good, it's great that a disciple can have such a spirit."

After hearing this, Liu Yu began to look at Guo Jia with a new respect.

Immediately, Liu Yu raised the letter in his hand and said.

"Zi Kun mentioned something here, but it is not convenient to explain it to you two right now. But are you two coming to Youzhou to assist Gongsun Bogui?"

"Yes." Zhao Yun replied.

"So, Zikun also believes that Gongsun Bogui will definitely lose."

Liu Yu sighed, revealing a hint of helplessness in his tone, and said.

"It's a pity that Gongsun Bogui didn't listen to me and started the war. He deserved it. It's a pity that so many Youyan men who followed him have to suffer this disaster. How sad."

Hearing this, Guo Jia asked curiously, "Mr. Liu is the governor of Youzhou and has overall control over the military and political affairs of the state. Why doesn't he issue an order to ask General Gongsun to withdraw his troops?"

Liu Yu said with a more bitter smile on his face.

"I have always wanted to do so. Before, when Gongsun Bogui was of a lower rank, I still checked him a little. But after he led his troops to participate in the campaign against Dong Zhuo and was awarded the title of General, he became more reckless after he was given the rank of Senior Minister and the power to establish a government."

"Gongsun Bogui even said when he was drunk that from now on I would only be responsible for the political affairs of Youzhou, and he would be in charge of the rest of the military affairs."

Suddenly, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia looked at each other in bewilderment.

Especially Zhao Yun, who had a very good personal relationship with Gongsun Zan, also respected Liu Yu in his heart. Now that Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan had such a relationship, Zhao Yun couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

When Liu Yu said this, he couldn't help but sound a little more resentful.

"If it weren't for Gongsun Bogui's consideration for Xuande and Zikun's face, I'm afraid he would have acted even more rudely and recklessly. It would be another matter whether I could still be the governor of the state."

At this moment, Guo Jia couldn't help but frown secretly.

I had some understanding of Gongsun Zan's personality before, but I didn't expect him to be so arrogant.

In any case, Liu Yu was the governor of Youzhou after all, and was quite popular among the people of Youzhou. He also had a very high status in the entire Han Dynasty.

But Gongsun Zan completely disregarded all the influences and acted so recklessly...

'No wonder the teacher felt that even if he went to Youzhou in person, he might not be able to convince Gongsun Zan to listen to his good advice.'

While Guo Jia was thinking secretly, he also quickly said a few words to comfort Liu Yu.

However, Liu Yu did not worry too much. He waved his hand and said.

"Whatever power and status, that's fine. I don't really care. But even though I'm the governor of a state, I only control about 30% of Youzhou's troops. The remaining 70% have been led by Gongsun Bogui to Jizhou in the south."

"If Gongsun Bogui is defeated, I wonder how many people in Youzhou will have to hang white silk in their homes." (End of this chapter)
