Chapter 6: Do something big, go straight to raid the coalition camp!

"Why stay inside the pass and defend passively?"

"Attacking Sun Jian has little significance, but General, you can go attack others!"

Gu Yi said nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Hua Xiong was stunned for a full half-minute.

Immediately, he hurriedly ordered his personal guards to bring the topographical map.

On the topographical map, Sun Jian's stationed position was on the upper reaches of the river.

Although it was very close to Sishui Pass.

But this place was equivalent to an independent stronghold.

If Hua Xiong went to raid the coalition camp, he could completely bypass the upper reaches of the river where Sun Jian was stationed.

Of course, this did not mean that Hua Xiong could ignore Sun Jian.

If Sun Jian suddenly circled behind to surround Hua Xiong while he was leading troops to raid the coalition camp, Hua Xiong and the Xiliang soldiers under his command would have no wings to escape!

Realizing this, a trace of anger flashed across Hua Xiong's face.

He seriously suspected that Gu Yi was deceiving him, with the purpose of letting Sun Jian cut off his retreat!

However, Gu Yi had long anticipated Hua Xiong's anger.

He saw him smile slightly and say:

"The General is worried about Sun Jian circling behind to launch a surprise attack, right?"

"There is no need to worry about this matter at all."

"Sun Jian's forces have already fallen into the dilemma of lacking grain and fodder."

"Let alone circling behind to launch a surprise attack, even if they were to retreat smoothly, with the current grain reserves of Sun Jian's army, it would be difficult to achieve."

Once these words were spoken, Hua Xiong was shocked again.

A dignified coalition vanguard, without grain and fodder, what kind of thing is that?

Let alone Hua Xiong, even if any person who knew military affairs heard this news, I fear they would feel shocked.

But the fact... was exactly so.

It was not that Sun Jian's forces lacked grain and fodder, but that they had already reached the dilemma of being cut off from grain!

What significantly distinguished them from the other coalition warlords was.

Although the soldiers under Sun Jian were fierce in combat, they did not engage in production!

Yes, Sun Jian appeared in the coalition forces in the form of a mercenary.

And the big financier who hired him was precisely Yuan Shu!

This seemed to cause some subversion of cognition.

After all, in the original *Romance*, the conflict between Sun Jian and Yuan Shu could be described as riddled with contradictions; how could Yuan Shu possibly hire Sun Jian?

But the fact was, Sun Jian was indeed Yuan Shu's mercenary!

It was just that a serious conflict arose between the mercenary and the financier, Yuan Shu.

Leading the financier, Yuan Shu, to cut off Sun Jian's grain and fodder.

In reality.

The claim in the *Romance* that Yuan Shu was in charge of the coalition's grain and fodder, and because he looked down on Sun Jian, he privately cut off his grain and fodder, simply could not stand up to scrutiny!

One must know that the coalition warlords all brought their own troops and grain to join the coalition.

Each managed their own grain and fodder; where was there any talk of unified control?

Then why did the other warlords have grain to eat, but you, Sun Jian, suddenly had no grain?

It was because the soldiers under Sun Jian did not engage in production.

Or rather, he and the soldiers under him were being supported by someone, so they did not need to worry about the problem of grain and fodder at all.

Looking at the process of Sun Jian joining the coalition.

Leading troops north all the way from Changsha.

Wiping out multiple imperial officials such as the Inspector of Jingzhou, the Administrator of Nanyang, and the Administrator of Xiangyang.

Could this TM be a loyal subject of the Han?

It was clearly a mountain bandit who killed people and seized their goods!

Then why did Sun Jian want to do this? ===== CHAPTER 7 =====
