Chapter 1282: No reason

"My lord, we currently have many wounded soldiers, and morale is low. If Cao Hong's army continues to attack like this, I fear our forces will suffer heavy losses." At this moment, Zhao Yun stood by Gu Yi's side and spoke.

"General Zhao, that is impossible. Cao Hong's army absolutely does not have that much grain and supplies. If that were the case, their food would be very tight, and Cao Hong has no reason to disperse his army to other places," Gu Yi shook his head and said.

Hearing Gu Yi's words, Zhao Yun fell into deep thought. Indeed, if Cao Hong were truly doing that, there would be a major problem; after all, Cao Hong cherished his own army very much and would not disperse them.

If that were the case, Cao Hong's army would be greatly affected. Moreover, with so much grain, Cao Hong's army certainly could not sustain such consumption for long, and sooner or later, there would be a severe shortage of personnel and supplies.

"General, then what do you mean?" Zhao Yun asked.

"General Zhao, you are to immediately lead thirty thousand troops to strike out and block Cao Hong's army. Furthermore, you must attract the attention of Cao Hong's army," Gu Yi said loudly.

Hearing Gu Yi's words, Zhao Yun showed an expression of surprise.

"General Zhao, do you have any doubts?" Gu Yi asked, looking at Zhao Yun's expression.

"Uh, no, I have no doubts. I understand the General's meaning. I will immediately lead thirty thousand men to Cao Hong's camp to attract his army," Zhao Yun said quickly.

"Hmm, then go. Stay safe," Gu Yi nodded.

"Yes." Zhao Yun responded immediately, a glimmer of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"General Zhao, you must be careful," Gu Yi said with concern.

"General, rest assured, I will be fine." Saying this, Zhao Yun strode out of the camp.

Gu Yi watched Zhao Yun's departing back, a look of gratification on his face. He believed that Zhao Yun would not let him down.

After Zhao Yun set out with thirty thousand cavalry, Cao Hong received intelligence from his scouts.

"Haha, Gu Yi finally couldn't hold back. This is what I hoped to see most. I will now lead my army to wipe out his forces," Cao Hong said arrogantly.

"General, Gu Yi is the Governor of Yanzhou, and he has over thirty thousand troops under his command. Such a large force cannot be easily engaged, otherwise, it will cause trouble for Cao Cao," Guo Jia, who was nearby, advised.

"Oh, Mr. Guo Jia, do you think I am afraid of him?" Cao Hong said dismissively.

"It is not a matter of fear, but Gu Yi is the Governor of Yanzhou and manages the taxes of Yanzhou. If the soldiers die because of this, Cao Cao will lose face, so I suggest delaying the attack," Guo Jia said.

Guo Jia knew Cao Hong's temperament and knew that it was impossible for him to stop the attack, so he tried to dissuade him.

"Oh, Mr. Guo Jia, I know what to do, so do not worry." Saying this, Cao Hong walked toward the front camp; he intended to lead thirty thousand cavalry in a charge.

In Cao Hong's view, he had thirty thousand troops, all of whom were well-trained soldiers, and Gu Yi's army was simply no match for them, so he did not take Gu Yi's forces seriously. ===== CHAPTER 1283 =====
