north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that it was purely for robbery?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course not!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Sun Jian wiped out these imperial officials, Yuan Shu quickly sent people to replace them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this, it can be seen that there was collusion between Sun Jian and Yuan Shu long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wiping out these imperial officials was helping Yuan Shu clear the field!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it is a pity that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the secret plan between Sun Jian and Yuan Shu did not fully succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost at the same time, Liu Biao entered Jingzhou alone, gained the support of the Jingzhou noble families, and quickly took control of the Jingxiang lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This led to Yuan Shu only being able to occupy Nanyang Commandery in the end, rather than successfully incorporating the entire Jingzhou into his territory as originally planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was precisely because of issues like the uneven distribution of spoils that a serious conflict arose between Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, the financier and the mercenary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This led to the provisions that should have been supplied by Yuan Shu to Sun Jian not arriving on time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which in turn led to Sun Jian suffering heavy losses in the night raid by Hua Xiong in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as someone who had been staying near Luoyang, Hua Xiong naturally did not know about these dealings between Yuan Shu and Sun Jian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Gu Yi suddenly mention this matter, Hua Xiong’s first reaction was disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could react, he heard Gu Yi smile and say:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the General does not believe that Sun Jian has no grain, you can send scouts to investigate the situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this suggestion, Hua Xiong is instantly tempted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Sun Jian truly has no provisions, he certainly will not be in a hurry to attack Sishui Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, even if he sends scouts to investigate the situation near Sun Jian’s camp, there will be enough time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Hua Xiong suddenly realizes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Sun Jian is deliberately pretending to have no provisions to lure him into leading his army out in full force to attack the coalition’s main camp,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then the defenses inside Sishui Pass will be empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Sun Jian were to lead his troops to attack, I fear he would inevitably be unable to hold it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Hua Xiong exclaims:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You clever brat, I almost fell for your trick!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Presumably, you want to lure this General into leading the main army away from Sishui Pass so that Sun Jian can take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said that although Hua Xiong does not have any particularly great abilities, he is definitely not a fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to realize this already puts him ahead of most brute-type generals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, hearing these words from Hua Xiong, Gu Yi cannot help but smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General, could it be that the only troops defending Sishui Pass are cavalry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the General suspects that I am setting a trap, you can completely choose to take only the cavalry and ride at full speed to attack the coalition’s main camp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the infantry, they can all remain to guard Sishui Pass just in case.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the sturdiness of Sishui Pass, could it be that even with all the infantry remaining here, it could still be captured by Sun Jian?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Sishui Pass, there are a total of seventy thousand soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, twenty thousand are cavalry and fifty thousand are infantry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are all elite Xiliang troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of individual combat power, they are definitely much stronger than the uneven combat power of the coalition of lords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With fifty thousand infantry remaining to guard the pass, plus the sturdiness of Sishui Pass,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even if the main force of the coalition of lords were to attack, they would not be able to capture it in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being told this by Gu Yi, the doubts in Hua Xiong’s heart have already been mostly dispelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infantry mobility is far inferior to cavalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things like raiding the coalition’s main camp require speed, precision, and ruthlessness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to bring the infantry, they would instead drag the cavalry down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he has already made up his mind to give it a try,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Xiong still pretends to be unmoved on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gu Yi is not in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he has already seen Hua Xiong send his personal guards down to convey the order, instructing scouts to go to Sun Jian’s station to investigate the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Hua Xiong sends someone to take Gu Yi down to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, it is to take him down to arrange a place to rest, not the kind where he is imprisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around dusk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several scouts who went to investigate the intelligence according to Hua Xiong’s orders return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And following them is the certain news that Sun Jian’s army has been cut off from grain for a full day!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It seems that what this person said is indeed true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That Sun Jian is now a sick worm with no grain to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the other rebels, even if they broke their heads, they would never think that this General would bypass Sun Jian and go to raid them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on Hua Xiong’s face lingers for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seems to have already seen the scene where Boss Dong confers upon him a prestigious title, grants him a peerage, and makes him the model for all the Xiliang generals!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Hua Xiong hurriedly sends someone to bring Gu Yi over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Hua Xiong’s appearance, Gu Yi knows that the matter of inciting Hua Xiong to raid the coalition’s main camp is already secure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Hua Xiong can speak, Gu Yi takes the initiative to say:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General, please take me with you to raid the coalition’s main camp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this way, even if there is a trap, I myself would have no wings to fly away, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the last bit of doubt remaining in Hua Xiong’s heart vanishes like smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi is even willing to sacrifice his life like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there could still be a trap in this, that would truly be outrageous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Hua Xiong also understands the principle of returning a favor for a gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Gu Yi finishes speaking, Hua Xiong hurriedly says:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, rest assured; if this battle is won, you shall have the first merit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At that time, I will definitely do my utmost to recommend you to my lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Men from Guanxi value loyalty above all else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Xiong is a man whose word is worth a thousand pieces of gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By saying this, he already intends to give the first merit to Gu Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using this achievement, plus his own full recommendation, as a return favor for Gu Yi’s advancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the talent Gu Yi has shown, Hua Xiong is not afraid that his lord will not heavily employ him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, both of them will become favorites by Boss Dong’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As colleagues in the future, they can also complement and assist each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, then many thanks to the General.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi smiles slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to those lords of Guandong who look at status, background, and family lineage,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there is no doubt that the Xiliang Legion of Guanxi suits Gu Yi’s temperament better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Xiliang Army is usually arrogant and domineering,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they are quite united internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they are extremely protective of their own!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Xiliang Army recognizes you as one of their own, they will treat you like a good brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This point is also related to the attitude Dong Zhuo usually treats them with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is precisely because Boss Dong is good at managing his subordinates and is not stingy with rewards\u003C\u002Fp>",1317,"2026-06-16T09:19:20.127Z","2026-06-16T10:29:10.858Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
