Chapter 1620: The Battle of Xuzhou (216)
Wen Chou doesn't know what Guan Yu's purpose is now, and of course he doesn't know where he will retreat after retreating to Liangxian, if his next stop is Xiapi, then his next target will be changed to Xuzhou City, he will join Cao Cao under Xuzhou City, and then join forces to attack Xiapi.
Of course, if he can choose, the result he hopes to see the most is to force Guan Yu to Xuzhou City, so that he can completely solve the trouble in Xuzhou and decide Xuzhou in a war, and as far as the current situation is concerned, the possibility of Guan Yu retreating to Xiapi is not very large, after all, Liu Lan is in Xuzhou City, unless he doesn't care about Liu Lan's life or death, otherwise he will inevitably go to join Liu Lan, so their opportunity is here.
Of course, if Guan Yu really arrived in Xuzhou, although he said that he would gather and annihilate Liu Lan's main force with Cao Cao under the city of Xuzhou, but the two armies fought, who would dare to guarantee victory or defeat? Of course, he hopes that he can gather and annihilate Liu Lan and pacify Xuzhou in one fell swoop, but if he is defeated by Liu Lan, it is also possible, so he said, the army is impermanent, and it is the first thing to do his best and not give them a chance.
Of course, if Guan Yu is forced to Xuzhou City, in fact, their chances of winning are the greatest, and if they follow Guan Yu all the way to pursue, they have a foundation in Xuzhou, and the women and children help them, and they are very convenient in all aspects, and they are not so easy, so he hopes that the most critical reason for going to Xuzhou is to let Guan Yu under his nose, which will be more reassuring.
But on the third day after he sent Gao Ran away, a bad news came, when he learned from Gao Kui that Kaecheng was being besieged by Guan Yu's army, he was completely stupid, stunned in place, tongue bridge can't fall, how is it possible, how is this possible, how can Guan Yu be in Kaesong, in Langya.
Wen Chou didn't believe it, if Guan Yu was in Langya, then who was Xiahoudun chasing?
He kept sniffing himself in his heart, but when Kaesong came one after another, the contents of the letters gave him a thorough understanding of the situation in Kaesong
First of all, that is, the first urgent document, came from four days ago, that is, in the evening of four days ago, Gao Kui's scouts found traces of suspicious troop movements in Xiangben, and the content of Gao Kui's letter at that time was more to verify with them, whether they left defensive troops in Xiangben, or baggage troops.
And at this time, after discovering that the direction of this army's movement was actually pointing directly at Jiqiu, which made Gao Kui a little puzzled and worried, he wanted to send troops to investigate their details, but he was afraid of startling the snake, or this army was originally a specially concealed unit of General Wen Chou, so wouldn't it expose them?
In order to keep it safe, he chose to directly pass on the letter for verification, but on the second day, the scouts who had been secretly staring at this army found that it was originally only a small army, but in less than a day, one after another, tens of thousands of people were gathered, and these people came from several directions one after another, if it weren't for the scouts' vigilance, they might have been exposed.
But it was also this discovery that made Gao Kui feel that this matter was by no means ordinary, originally according to Wen Chou's order, he and the remaining garrison went to receive Jiqiu, under such a close observation, he believed that this force was the rest of Huang Zhong that had been looking for at that time, so he made timely adjustments, and all the troops stationed in Jiqiu returned to Kaesong and garrisoned in Kaesong.
For the abandonment of the strategic location of Jiqiu, this was originally the unanimous request of Wen Chou and Gao Ran before leaving, Langya was safe and sound, so he was stationed in Jiqiu to ensure the smooth flow of this strategic route, and if he sensed that Langya was threatened, he must retreat to Kaesong for defense.
In the case of not determining the identity of the strange troops, but it is certain that they are friends and enemies, he did not think too much about it, and retreated directly to Kaesong, but at this time, in fact, Guan Yu's troops were stationed here, and Guan Yu was not unaware of the existence of scouts, but he was suffering from dividing the troops, and at this time, the main force had not all arrived in Xiangben, which was less than 10,000 people, so that Guan Yu did not dare to act rashly.
He could only wait patiently, even if he knew that he had been discovered at this time, there was nothing he could do, but fortunately, it was gratifying that the Jizhou army of Qiu did not come to clear them, but retreated to Kaecheng, otherwise at this time, with their current troops, they were really not opponents, and it was possible to be annihilated by them all.
No matter what kind of considerations the enemy general had, but anyway, Guan Yu's luck was very good, maybe the enemy general miscalculated the form, and actually retreated directly with the troops.
In fact, Guan Yu and his generals have discussed such a situation, and there are several reasons for such a situation, first of all, Gao Kui returned to Langya, because their defenders did not have 30,000 people as they released, but only 120,000 people, they did not dare to attack rashly, and secondly, they mistook our department for Huang Zhong's department, and before they failed to harvest the hearts of the people of Langya, they also did not dare to rush south, if they won, they will pay it back, if they lose, or to Xiangben, the Xuzhou army birds and beasts are scattered, When they pounced and returned to Jiqiu, the military flag of Xuzhou might have been planted here.
It was under such a form of miscalculation that Gao Kui first thought of the deployment of the two generals before the war and retreated to Kaesong, while Guan Yu took this rare opportunity to wait for all the main forces to come peacefully and peacefully, and after the troops converged, they went north for the first time, first of all, they took Jiqiu, cutting off the retreat of the Wenchou Gaolan Jizhou Army to the north, so that the Jizhou Army was completely trapped in Xuzhou, and if they wanted to retreat, they had to attack Jiqiu, of course, if there was a large army in Xuzhou at this moment, then Wenchou Gaolan would be defeated, It's a pity that there isn't, so it doesn't mean much to take Jiqiu.
As long as Gao Kui ensures the safety of Kaesong, Wen Chou does not need to worry about anything, especially about his future.
Wen Chou doesn't know what Guan Yu's purpose is now, and of course he doesn't know where he will retreat after retreating to Liangxian, if his next stop is Xiapi, then his next target will be changed to Xuzhou City, he will join Cao Cao under Xuzhou City, and then join forces to attack Xiapi.

Of course, if Guan Yu is forced to Xuzhou City, in fact, their chances of winning are the greatest, and if they follow Guan Yu all the way to pursue, they have a foundation in Xuzhou, and the women and children help them, and they are very convenient in all aspects, and they are not so easy, so he hopes that the most critical reason for going to Xuzhou is to let Guan Yu under his nose, which will be more reassuring.
