Chapter 344

And partly knew that Sun Yi's fiancée, Lady Xu, was not only good at fortune-telling but also a ruthless woman who would not let men off. She would design to remove the two, and he wouldn't have the chance to kill them, so he would just enjoy the verbal abuse.

Scouts reported,

"Report~! Lord, Sun Quan is not attacking Wancheng, but has surrounded it."

Bu Zhi cupped his hands,

"Lord, I'm afraid this Sun Quan wants to besiege the city to lure reinforcements. This time he led sixty thousand troops plus Zhou Yu's thirty thousand naval forces, almost bringing out all the combat-ready troops of Jiangdong."

Liu Bei laughed,

"It seems this Sun Sun Zhongmou has great plans, wanting to crush me in one fell swoop, or kill me, so his prestige would be great!"

Ma Chao and Zhang Zhang Liao both snorted,

"Lord, this Sun Quan doesn't even know how to walk, yet he wants to run!"

Liu Bei looked around,

"Do you all have any good strategies to break the enemy? Guo Fengxiao, you speak first."

Guo Jia bowed,

"The Lord already has a strategy to break the enemy, yet you still want to test us."

Everyone was a bit confused,

Guo Jia enlightened everyone,

"Although the Lord's army this time only has twenty-five thousand men, there are ten thousand cavalry, and there are valiant generals like Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Zhang Zhang Liao, Taishi Ci, and Wei Yan."

Xing Daorong coughed.

Guo Jia laughed,

"Of course, there is also Daorong. I observed that Sun Quan's defeats by Chen Deng and the Shanyue have one characteristic:"

"That is, being ambushed by the enemy. Sun Quan, in a state of being caught off guard, has no valor in battle and no heart for valor, fleeing first. The soldiers lose command, and the soldiers soon follow him in a rout."

"Sun Quan has never commanded a large-scale battle. The more people there are, it's not necessarily an advantage."

Once everyone heard this, they instantly knew how to fight this battle.

Liu Bei laughed,

"Guo Fengxiao is indeed wise. Analyzing from his personality, Sun Quan has strategy but no valor. On the battlefield, our army only needs to chase Sun Quan, and no matter how many troops Sun Quan has, it will be a pile of loose sand! Instead, it will only increase the chaos."

"Think about the scene of Sun Quan running away and his generals chasing to rescue him."

Everyone?? The Lord's description is so vivid!

"Zhang Yide, Mengqi, Wen Ding Yuan, when the time comes, you lead the elite cavalry with only one goal: chase Sun Quan!"

"Understood!"

"The other generals will follow me to resist Sun Quan's attack first."

"Understood!"

Bu Zhi sighed, feeling that he had learned a lot,

"Lord, listening to your words is better than reading books for ten years. I finally understand what it means to win a thousand miles away. This battle of Sun Quan is destined to fail before it even starts."

Liu Bei laughed,

"Zishan has a strong learning ability; I am very optimistic about you."

Zhang Fei laughed,

"Guo Fengxiao, do you want to write the 'Ten Reasons Why Sun Quan Must Fail'?"

Guo Jia waved his hand,

"No challenge, I'm not interested in writing it..."

Bu Zhi learned!

Danyang Commandery Administrator's mansion,

Gui Lan slammed the table in anger,

"Liu Bei is hateful, actually wanting to kill us so-called traitors!"

Dai Ding Yuan frowned,

"Then what should we do? Liu Bei doesn't like us, and Sun Quan on the surface must want to avenge Sun Yi. Should we go north to Ding Yuan Shao, or south to Jiaozhou?"

Gui Lan waved his hand,

"What's the rush? Liu Bei is going to fight Cao and Sun's eighty thousand troops with twenty-five thousand men this time. Who knows if he can even survive!"

He then revealed a lecherous smile,

"Sun Yi's fiancée, Lady Xu, is as beautiful as a flower. It's a waste to keep her at the post station without getting married. I can only do it for him."

Gui Lan entered the Administrator's mansion and had already plundered all of Sun Yi's concubines, and even coveted Lady Xu, wanting to forcibly take her as a concubine.

Lady Xu feigned delaying time, tricking Gui Lan into relaxing his vigilance, and then secretly contacted Sun Yi's trusted aides. On the day they removed their mourning clothes, they killed Gui Lan and Dai Ding Yuan.

Lady Xu was a strange woman who combined calmness, wisdom, intelligence, and beauty. She was truly respectable and admirable!

Lady Xu saw Liu Bei's reply to Gui Lan and the others, and felt a sense of respect in her heart,

"Lord Liu Xuande is indeed a great hero who is open and aboveboard."

"I'll cast a fortune-telling hex for my marriage first..."

Sun Quan in Wancheng, upon learning of Sun Yi's encounter, felt more joy than grief and indignation in his heart.

Although they were brothers, what did that count for in the face of power?

Sun Yi heavily used Gui Lan and Dai Ding Yuan, who had a grudge against him. The enemy of an enemy is a friend?

The purpose was self-evident.

Sun Quan also played some role in secret, through bribery and releasing news, making Gui Lan and Dai Ding Yuan think that Sun Yi and Sun Quan were going to deal with them together, so the two struck first.

Scouts reported,

"Report~! Lord, Liu Bei has twenty-five thousand troops and will arrive near Wancheng around noon tomorrow."

"Are there any other reinforcements?"

"My subordinates have scouted carefully; there are absolutely no reinforcements. Lu Xun's naval forces are also being entangled by General Zhou, so he has no time to take care of this side."

Sun Quan sighed in his heart, double happiness!

He looked at Le Jin,

"General Le, how about you lead troops to attack Liu Bei's left flank tomorrow?"

Le Jin cupped his hands,

"I will follow the orders of the General of the East!"

The military order he received was to fully cooperate with Sun Quan on the premise of preserving himself, so naturally, he had no objections.

Sun Quan added,

"Chen Wu, Dong Xi, you two lead twenty thousand troops to launch a surprise attack on Liu Bei's right flank."

"Understood!"

"All other generals will attack Liu Bei's center army!"

"Understood!"

Sun Quan stood up, full of spirit,

"Gentlemen, tomorrow our army will crush Liu Bei in one fell swoop and make him suffer a great loss. Pass the order: whoever kills Liu Bei will be promoted five ranks and rewarded with ten thousand gold!"

"Understood!"

,..

At noon the next day,

Liu Bei's army arrived on time,

The sound of hooves was constant, dust was flying,

The momentum of ten thousand horses galloping was like a rainbow, like a mountain.

Sun Quan's expression changed slightly,

Liu Bei's army was indeed very elite. Among the ten thousand cavalry galloping, the formation was neat, and the soldiers' expressions were solemn, ignoring the large army on this side, obviously all elite soldiers of a hundred battles!

Except for the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Hedong last time, the Jiangdong soldiers had almost never seen the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping, and their morale dropped unconsciously.

Liu Bei's army stopped a few hundred meters away,

Liu Bei observed Sun Quan's layout, which was almost the same as expected,

He drove his horse out with Zhang Fei and Xing Daorong, saying loudly,

"Sun Quan, come out and talk."
