various small warlords of Liangzhou seized the opportunity to expand their territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what connection did this have with Gu Yi’s strategy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the confusion in everyone’s eyes, Gu Yi explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gentlemen, since what these small warlords in Liangzhou care about most is their own little patches of territory,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"then we might as well strike at their territories!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right now, they are following by Han Sui’s side,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"which means there are not many garrison troops left in their original territories.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I intend to divide our forces into five routes to bypass and raid the rear of these Liangzhou warlords.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But take note, I do not need you to capture these cities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Instead, I want you to circle through their territories as quickly as possible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, all the generals were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strategy was simply unheard of...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were about bypassing and launching a sneak attack, the generals could understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, that was exactly what Niu Fu had done before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was a great pity that...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Sui had left enough troops in his lair at Tianshui, and that fellow Niu Fu not only failed to take Tianshui but also suffered heavy losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indirectly led to the subsequent crushing defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Gu Yi’s strategy\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was also a bypass and sneak attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was far more ruthless than Niu Fu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Niu Fu had charged in head-on with fifty thousand men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi, on the other hand, actually wanted to divide his forces into five routes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the damn problem was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dividing into five routes to bypass and sneak attack, only to just take a stroll through the territories of those Liangzhou warlords?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>War is not a spring outing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the situation is extremely critical right now; where would there be time for such leisure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The generals’ confusion was well within Gu Yi’s expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled slightly and explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gentlemen, you indeed know that you are just going for a stroll through those small warlords’ territories.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the question is, do those small warlords know that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just imagine,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"if they, stationed at the front lines, suddenly heard en masse that their rear lairs were being raided, what would they think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gulp...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The council chamber suddenly fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The generals all swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jue and Guo Si, whose legs had gone weak, almost knelt down to Gu Yi on the spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is a venomous strategist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This damn thing is a true venomous strategist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the likes of Jia Xu and Li Ru,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>compared to Gu Yi, they could truly be called kind-hearted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dividing into five routes and bypassing for a sneak attack were merely two decoys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true ruthlessness lay in Gu Yi’s precise control of the human heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These small warlords of Liangzhou cared most about their own little plots of land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the cunning and treacherous Han Sui,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>how could the rest of them remain calm upon hearing that their rear lairs were being raided?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even if Han Sui painted a bigger picture or offered greater benefits,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>these Liangzhou warlords would only stop fighting immediately and lead their armies back to their own territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if even the lair is gone, what is there to talk about regarding benefits?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after they left, although Han Sui still had the mercenary troops of the Qiang and Di tribes behind him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his momentum would be far less than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His overall strength would drop by at least sixty percent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, why did Gu Yi only have the Dong Zhuo generals circle the Liangzhou warlords’ territories without attacking anything?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Gu Yi intended to preserve his strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the generals finished circling the Liangzhou warlords’ territories,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>those warlords would likely have already started moving, retreating from the Fufeng front lines back to their own lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if the Dong Zhuo generals then left the warlords’ territories, converged, and headed to Fufeng to fight a decisive battle with Han Sui, it would be twice the result with half the effort!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Han Sui, with his strength reduced by sixty percent, defeat Gu Yi’s army in its prime?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Han Sui was defeated,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even if those Liangzhou warlords rushed back, it would be to no avail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fate awaiting them, other than surrender, would be death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi’s strategy was extremely vicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it exploited the very mindset of these Liangzhou warlords who feared their rear lairs would be raided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the opponent were a unified, large power, this strategy would likely lose its effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, this strategy could be called \"tailor-made\" specifically for these Liangzhou warlords!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yi assigned the five routes to Li Jue, Guo Si, Hua Xiong, Zhang Ji, and himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, Gao Shun, Han Hao, and Ma Yunlu all followed by Gu Yi’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for Ma Yunlu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it wasn't that Gu Yi didn't trust the abilities of the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that their current official ranks were too low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they performed meritorious service this time and their positions were raised, they would naturally have opportunities to command armies independently in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fufeng\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guanshi Allied Army Camp\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Sui, as the leader, sat in the main seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below him were the various small warlords of Liangzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large and small, there were fully twenty or thirty of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these people, the slightly stronger ones had a few thousand troops,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>while the weaker ones had less than a thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were numerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Added together, they had gathered several tens of thousands of troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, these guys were deeply worried about their inability to defeat Xu Rong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn that Xu Rong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He clearly has fewer than thirty thousand troops, yet he has managed to hold on for so long!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is truly hateful to the extreme!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Kan, Cheng Yin, Liang Xing, and others among the Liangzhou warlords said with resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had originally thought that Xu Rong would collapse at the first touch, just like Niu Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-16T10:17:20.643Z","2026-06-16T10:29:10.858Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
