Chapter 617

Just as he had expected.

Yuan Shao, Ta Dun, and Zhang Yan, after achieving consecutive victories for many days, all planned to take the initiative to send troops to attack.

And in order to cooperate with the general offensive these three were about to launch.

Gu Yi deliberately sent out another flaw!

He deliberately released:

【Grain and fodder exhausted】

【Main army about to retreat】

【Returning to Shangdang Commandery in Bingzhou to rest】 news.

Jiuyuan Commandery is located in the north of Bingzhou, bordering Julu Commandery in the north of Jizhou.

And Shangdang Commandery is located in the middle of Bingzhou.

The release of these three pieces of news made everyone in the Yuan camp believe it deeply.

There was actually no oil or water left to scrape in the north of Bingzhou.

It was already a bitter and cold land.

Plus the continuous invasions by the Xianbei and Southern Xiongnu.

Giving up this land seemed to be the thing that best fit current interests for Gu Yi.

Therefore.

Everyone in the coalition army, including Ju Shou, believed these three pieces of fake intelligence released by Gu Yi.

In order to make everyone in the coalition army spare no effort and go all in.

Besides this.

Gu Yi also planned a fake "mutiny" in the camp!

This was no small matter!

"Mutiny" is not a phenomenon that can appear just anywhere.

Historically, every time a mutiny was encountered, it resulted in heavy casualties at best, and the annihilation of the entire army at worst!

Even the "Heavenly King of Martial Mourning" Ran Min was helpless when facing such things.

But... this mutiny of Gu Yi's was just a play being performed.

The lead actors were the Trap Camp, which had the strictest military rules and discipline.

Yes, after defeating the 20,000 Black Mountain bandits led by Yu Du.

The Trap Camp had already returned to Gu Yi's command silently.

And this mutiny.

Was deliberately performed for Yuan Shao, Ta Dun, Zhang Yan, and Ju Shou to see.

As the saying goes.

People's ability to fill in the blanks is often the most terrifying thing.

Throughout history, there has never been a precedent for "letting an army pretend to mutiny."

Inertial thinking led Ju Shou to believe that the mutiny of the troops under Gu Yi's command was a 100% real event!

Although he couldn't figure out why Gu Yi had suddenly become so weak.

But the enemy becoming weaker is a good thing, isn't it?

After finalizing the specific details.

The few people in the Yuan camp decided to launch the final general offensive against Gu Yi's camp tomorrow night.

As for supplies like grain and fodder, Ju Shou handed them over to Feng Ji, who was also of the Hebei faction, to oversee.

One's own people are reliable when handling things.

Before Yuan Shao and Ju Shou left, Feng Ji patted his chest and guaranteed that he would definitely oversee all grain and fodder 100%.

Soon, time came to the next night.

The well-prepared coalition army, under the leadership of Yuan Shao, Ta Dun, and Zhang Yan, roared toward the place where Gu Yi's army was stationed.

The vanguard was even assumed by Ta Dun and the Wuhuan heavy cavalry.

Over these days, the Wuhuan heavy cavalry had defeated the Xiliang iron cavalry and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry several times.

In Ta Dun's eyes, his own cavalry was already the undisputed number one cavalry in the world!

And Yuan Shao and Zhang Yan also believed that Gu Yi could not resist Ta Dun's Wuhuan heavy cavalry.

Sure enough.

The Wuhuan heavy cavalry easily broke through the outer defensive line of Gu Yi's camp.

To the point that those Xiliang iron cavalry and Bingzhou wolf cavalry stationed on the outside didn't even have the courage to fight the Wuhuan heavy cavalry.

Almost as soon as they met, they immediately spread their legs and ran away at the fastest speed.

At least in Ta Dun's view.

Isn't this behavior just because they are cowards?

The Xiliang iron cavalry and Bingzhou wolf cavalry were just like blown-up trash, not worthy of the title of King of Cavalry at all!

Immediately after.

The Wuhuan heavy cavalry was like a hot knife through butter.

Under Ta Dun's leadership, they rushed into the camp where Gu Yi's troops were stationed.

But...

When they truly entered the camp.

They found that aside from some supplies and a small amount of grain, there was nothing left.

"Could it be... that this King has fallen into a trap?"

Ta Dun exclaimed.

But the Wuhuan heavy cavalry following him searched the surroundings of the camp and found no hidden troops or flammable materials like fire oil.

Half an hour passed quietly.

Because Ta Dun suspected that Gu Yi might have a secret trap.

Therefore, he did not immediately pursue the portion of Bingzhou wolf cavalry and Xiliang iron cavalry that had fled.

Soon, Yuan Shao, Zhang Yan, Ju Shou, and the others also arrived here.

Scanning the incomparably quiet surroundings, Ju Shou shook his head and sighed:

"Maybe we were too suspicious."

"Gu Linzhi has likely already led his troops to retreat from here."

Hearing this.

Ta Dun couldn't help but become even more annoyed.

If he had known, he should have directly led the Wuhuan heavy cavalry to charge over, instead of hesitating and waiting here at the camp.

Yuan Shao and Zhang Yan's mentality was quite good.

Although they failed to annihilate Gu Yi's effective strength this time.

But at least they won, didn't they?

One must know.

This was the first time they had defeated Gu Yi!

The intense fear of being dominated by Gu Yi in the past seemed to have dissipated a lot along with it.

"Then next, why don't we take advantage of Gu Linzhi's retreat to lead the army to recover Bingzhou in one fell swoop!"

After saying that.

Yuan Shao turned to look at Ta Dun and Zhang Yan, his eyes carrying a slight trace of wariness.

As the saying goes.

After the external war, it's time for the internal war.

Since the behemoth Gu Yi had been repelled.

Then next, Zhang Yan and Ta Dun both became potential enemies of Yuan Shao.

Ta Dun was still a bit better.

The location of the Wuhuan royal court was very far from Bingzhou.

But this scoundrel Zhang Yan had fought quite a few battles with Yuan Shao before this.
