Chapter 400

After taking in Chen Gong, the group of ruthless strategists under Gu Yi's command was expanded again.

However.

One must say what is true.

Any strategist who looked like they had some problems in character to outsiders all ended up under Gu Yi's command.

For example, Jia Xu, Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, Cheng Gongying, and others.

Historically, the reputation of these few people could only be said to be understood by those who understood.

But under Gu Yi's command, the few were like fish in water.

When doing things, it was as if they had been injected with chicken blood!

Why did such a situation occur?

Because Gu Yi gave them the things they wanted most.

For example, the old fox Jia Xu.

Regarding his own official position and title, he had no great needs.

But for the two unfilial sons at home, he was extremely concerned.

Therefore, whenever Jia Xu made a contribution.

Gu Yi gave the reward directly to Jia Xu's son.

In this way, how could the old fox Jia Xu not do his best?

Take Fa Zheng and Zhang Song for another example.

Both of them longed to have a bigger stage to display their talents.

But in original history.

The two stayed under Liu Zhang's command for nearly twenty years, wasting their years, but never managed to do anything big.

Therefore, Gu Yi fully gave them the opportunity to display their talents.

A thousand-mile horse is common, but a Bole is not common.

Whether it was Fa Zheng or Zhang Song, they were filled with gratitude and admiration for Gu Yi.

Of course, taking Chen Liu didn't mean the end of the war.

According to the captured soldiers, Cao Cao had at most four or five days of travel left before he would arrive at Chen Liu City.

This campaign to Xuzhou, Cao Cao didn't lose too many soldiers.

On the contrary, when the battle was about to end, Cao Cao also gained the addition of Zang Ba and 40,000 elite Taishan bandits.

The remaining total military strength was roughly around 120,000.

These 120,000 people, although the number was not small.

But the soldiers Gu Yi had available were not much fewer than Cao Cao's.

What's more.

Gu Yi had 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry in his hands, and the winning chance was actually even greater than Cao Cao's.

Besides this.

Zhao Yun and Lü Bu had previously led 30,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Bingzhou Wolf Riders to rush to Xuzhou to support Tao Shang.

Although the two didn't have a direct confrontation with Cao Cao.

But at this moment, they must have already joined forces with Tao Shang.
