The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 635: Dog Chasing Tactics
Guanqiu Jian was wearing armor and sitting in a carriage with a solemn expression. He looked at Sun Shu beside him with a calm look in his eyes.

"Are you Sun Shu?"

"The criminal Sun Shu pays homage to the General of Chariots and Cavalry!!"

Sun Shu tied himself up and bowed deeply to Guanqiu Jian.

Guanqiu Jian got out of the carriage and personally untied him, "General Sun, there's no need to be so polite."

The smell of alcohol emanating from Sun Shu made Guanqiu Jian frown, but then he said calmly, "The general looks very familiar to me. I wonder if he is Sun Xin?"

Sun Shu was shocked, "That's my brother!"

Guanqiu Jian suddenly understood, "So that's how it is. No wonder they are so similar. Your brother is in Luoyang now. It seems that you two brothers can finally be reunited."

Sun Shu hurriedly said, "This is all due to your kindness, General!"

Guanqiu Jian immediately followed him into the city.

Sun Shu explained the matters that Ding Feng and Shi Ji had instructed him to do, as well as the situation inside and outside the county.

Guanqiu Jian listened attentively. When Sun Shu finished speaking, Guanqiu Jian sighed, "General, you are truly righteous. As a member of the royal family, you gave up your wealth and glory to join the good for the sake of the people of the world. It is truly admirable!"

Originally, Sun Shu felt a little embarrassed about surrendering, but after hearing what Guanqiu Jian said, his mood immediately improved a lot.

He looked up, as if he really was the kind of wise man with ambitions to rule the world that Guanqiu Jian had described.

"General, I am also doing this to protect the local people from suffering from war."

Guanqiu Jian chatted with him for a long time before sending someone to take him to rest.

As soon as he left, Zhang Te couldn't help but step forward and said, "General, I think this man is just a drunkard. He doesn't need such courtesy."

"After all, it saved the people of an area from war, so it's still a merit."

Guanqiu Jian just said one sentence and then looked at Zhang Te.

"I am preparing to march to Wuchang. You will stay here as my backup. If all goes well, you will follow and help me control Wuchang County. If my advance goes wrong, you will ensure that my retreat is secure."

Guanqiu Jian's fighting style was different from that of any other general.

Deng Ai used surprise tactics, Wang Ji used slow tactics, and Guanqiu Jian used fierce tactics.

In fact, Guanqiu Jian's fighting style is very similar to that of Wen Yang, who originally led the charge. As a commander, when he was fighting Goguryeo, he "formed the troops into a square formation and fought to the death", which means he would fight you head-on and fight to the death. Whoever took a step back would die.

Therefore, the battles fought by Guanqiu Jian were very imposing, and his soldiers were often willing to follow him and fight until the last moment. The battles were extremely fierce, but doing so also had a consequence, which was advancing too quickly.

Historically, when he fought against Goguryeo and even against Sima Shi, he kept pushing forward, thus creating the record of the longest expedition in ancient Northeast China.

This time when fighting against the State of Wu, Guanqiu Jian was well prepared. He first ensured the safety of his retreat route, and then, he charged forward!
This is the reason why Hu Zun looks irritable but is actually delicate inside, while Guanqiu Jian looks delicate but is actually irritable inside.

Guanqiu Jian was a weak scholar, but he was more ferocious than anyone else in battle, charging forward relentlessly.

Zhang Te was also very clear about his general's fighting style. He immediately said that he would ensure the general's retreat was safe and let the general charge forward.

Guanqiu Jian did not even rest in the county town. He left Zhang Te to take care of the aftermath and set off for Wuchang.

He wanted to capture Wuchang and capture Sun Hao alive.

At this moment, Sun Hao had just received a letter from Lu Kang.

Sun Hao was drinking at this time. The person sitting next to him looked very similar to Sun Hao, but was dressed as a military general.

Sun Hao took Lu Kang's letter, glanced at it casually, and then his face became extremely gloomy.

Cen Hun, who was about to pour wine for the two of them, noticed something unusual. His forehead was suddenly covered with sweat and he cautiously took a few steps back.

Sun Hao just looked at the letter in his hand without saying a word.

"Get out of here."

Sun Hao said coldly.

Cen Hun didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly followed the man out.

After walking out of the hall, Cen Hun finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Captain of the Cavalry, it seems to me that His Majesty is not in a good mood. We should not disturb him."

Cen Hun looked at the young man in front of him with a flattering smile on his face.

The Cavalry Commandant was in charge of supervising the Yulin Cavalry. To put it simply, he was the leader of the imperial cavalry.

His official rank could not be said to be too high, at least not as high as Cen Hun's. However, Cen Hun was so polite to him. The main reason was that this cavalry captain was called Sun Jun, and he was Sun Hao's younger brother. They were not biological brothers, but half-brothers, just like Sun Qian.

His mother was Concubine Zhang, who committed suicide when he was very young. Therefore, he was raised by He Ji. Although the two did not have the same father and mother, they grew up together and there was no difference between them.

Sun Jun was a little surprised, "Why is Your Majesty in a bad mood? Is it because of the war situation?" Cen Hun hesitated for a moment, he didn't know either.

What he feared most was that the emperor was in a bad mood. If he didn't understand what was going on, he might say something wrong and then die.

He looked at Sun Jun in front of him again and asked, "Why don't you ask His Majesty? See if there is anything we can do?"

Sun Jun smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go in and ask."

Cen Hun stood here with a smile.

It's good to have a person like this. Sun Jun grew up with the emperor. He is handsome, intelligent, and good at debating. Everyone praises him.

The emperor also loved him very much. He kept him by his side and gave him all his personal cavalry.

If there are any things that they are not comfortable asking, he can ask them.
Just as Cen Hun was waiting, suddenly, someone came out and threw something out.

Cen Hun was stunned, took a few steps, and looked down.

The one who was thrown out was Sun Jun, but at this moment, his eyes were wide open, full of disbelief. His neck was cut open and blood was still flowing from his chest. He was already dead.

Cen Hun felt horrified and his hair stood on end.

He walked out trembling, his steps were very stiff and his whole body was shaking.

He was so scared that he almost cried and his teeth couldn't help chattering.

"Captain of the Cavalry, Captain of the Cavalry, please don't blame me, I don't know. Please don't blame me, I don't know."

That night, Sun Hao issued an edict to leave Wuchang and return to Jianye.

The ministers did not understand why the emperor made the decision so quickly, but they could only follow him to flee. Sun Hao left very quickly and did not even wait for the ministers. Before leaving, he left his father-in-law here and asked him to be responsible for protecting the safety of Wuchang until Lu Kang arrived.

On the morning of the second day after Sun Hao left, Guanqiu Jian's army appeared outside Wuchang.

At this time, the Wu people who stayed here were shocked and angry.

They finally understood why the emperor suddenly evacuated and was going to take a detour. At the same time, they didn't understand why Cao's army appeared here.

After arriving here, Guanqiu Jian fought with Teng Mu, the general of the Wu State.

The two sides fought in Wuchang. Both sides were extremely eager to fight and were determined to fight to the death. Guanqiu Jian personally held a spear, ordered the entire army to form a battle formation, and then led the elite troops of Huainan to launch a fierce attack.

Guanqiu Jian's attack was extremely fierce. Everyone was brave and fearless of death. When General Teng encountered such a group of "desperadoes", he was immediately confused.

The only reason Teng Mu was able to serve as General Wei was because he was the Queen's father. He himself had no military experience and even needed Ding Gu's assistance in combat.

Under such circumstances, he could not withstand Guanqiu Jian's fierce attack at all. After Guanqiu Jian launched wave after wave of crazy attacks, Teng Mu's army was defeated and he simply abandoned his army and fled.

Wuchang fell into the hands of Guanqiu Jian in less than a day, but Guanqiu Jian did not rest and continued to march towards Yangxing.

Zhang Te hurried to clean up the mess behind him.

When Sun Hao was halfway through his journey, he learned that Wuchang had been captured. He was furious and several of his close attendants suffered the consequences.

In order to avoid being caught up by Guanqiu Jian, they had to speed up.

Sun Hao never thought that one day he would be chased like a dog!
The arrogance and ferocity of the past were gone at this moment. He seemed to have returned to his childhood, when his family fell into poverty and he was bullied by everyone. The same repetitive experiences almost drove Sun Hao crazy.

Guanqiu Jian was constantly speeding up, and the Wu generals along the way rushed to intercept him.

But without exception, these people were quickly defeated by Guanqiu Jian. Guanqiu Jian defeated the generals of Wu three times in a row, but did not stay and continued to pursue them.

Sun Hao abandoned the old, weak and sick on the way, and even did not care about several important ministers. He ran all the way to Yangxing. A general suggested that he should not go to Chaisang, but to Yongxiu, because Chaisang was too close to Xunyang. If Guanqiu Jian appeared there, Chaisang might be in danger.

This time, Sun Hao listened to the advice and fled towards Yongxiu.

At this time, Lu Kang finally appeared in Ai County with his army.

However, Guanqiu Jian quickly defeated Yangxing and followed Sun Hao like a ghost. Sun Hao was so angry that he screamed, but he did not dare to stay and had to flee again.

However, Zhang Te was a little behind Guanqiu Jian's progress.

At this moment, Shi Ji, Ding Feng and others who were preparing to attack Hu Zun just learned that Zhu County had been captured and Guanqiu Jian had entered Wuchang.

At this moment, both of them were horrified.

The two of them knew Guanqiu Jian very well, and they also knew what the consequences would be if they let Guanqiu Jian attack into the heartland!
This guy won't retreat until he breaks through the Wu Kingdom!!!

They did not dare to delay and turned around to fight back. At this moment, Hu Zun gave up attacking those cities and led his troops to pursue them. His idea was very simple, to tie down the Wu army and help Wen Qin and Guanqiu Jian complete their mission.

Just as he had promised at the beginning.
