Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 145 The Strongest Line of Defense
In Anci City in Guangyang County, Qu Yi and Xu Rong cleaned up the towers and then counted all the military materials in the entire Anci City.

There wasn't a lot of baggage here. After all, Gongsun Zan's food and grass were transported directly from Ji County to the front line of Zhuo County, so this place only belonged to a small county.

Qu Yi took a deep breath, and said to Xu Rong: "General Xu, Gongsun Zan has retreated to guard Ji County, we don't need to pursue anymore."

"It is estimated that from now on, the lord will let me guard Zhuo County and let you guard here. However, I hope that we can switch, and I will guard Anci County."

Xu Rong stood beside Qu Yi, and after hearing what he said, he was a little curious and frowned slightly.

After a few seconds, Xu Rong finally said: "General Qu, you clearly know that Zhuo County's supplies are richer than this small Anci County, and you still want to guard here?"

"If you gave Zhuojun to me, I'm afraid it won't be that simple, right? You should be stationed here because you want to fight Gongsun Zan to the end."

"And your only request is to supply you with enough weapons and food after I guard Zhuojun. Am I right?"

Xu Rong is not stupid either, he understands what Qu Yi is thinking, and this guy has already lost his understanding of what he said.

They were all generals capable of guarding one side. Xu Rong knew Qu Yi very well, and knew that he would confront Gongsun Zan to the end.

When Qu Yi heard Xu Rong bluntly said what he meant, he immediately laughed loudly: "Hahaha! General Xu is really straightforward, and this is exactly what I mean."

"Since General Xu has made it so clear, I will assume that General Xu agreed to this proposal. One year from now, I hope we can cooperate with each other."

Xu Rong nodded slightly, he understood Qu Yi's intention to make meritorious service, so he naturally agreed to his proposal.

Seeing Xu Rong, Qu Yi immediately agreed, and he laughed again, and it was a bright smile.

"General Xu, just for the sake of our perfect cooperation in the future, let's go drink in the county today! My lord is far away in Zhuojun, so naturally I won't find anything."

Qu Yi has an insolent personality. Although he also attaches great importance to military orders, he now ignores Han Wu's prohibition on alcohol.

Xu Rong was younger than Qu Yi, he was more composed, took a deep breath and shook his head.

After Xu Rong glanced at Qu Yi, he said, "General Qu has such a taste, so naturally I won't refuse. However, I want to replace wine with tea, and General Qu can do as he pleases."

Xu Rong didn't refuse Qu Yi's invitation, but Xu Rong only asked himself to replace alcohol with tea, which was not considered a violation of the prohibition.

When Qu Yi heard that Xu Rong wanted to replace wine with tea, he also knew that this guy cared about his lord's order, so naturally he didn't ask for it deliberately.

"Okay! General Xu will replace the wine with tea, and I will enjoy the wine alone. Let's go, let's go drink!"

Xu Rong was taken down to drink by Qu Yi, and the soldiers on the tower continued to defend the city, no one envied him.

These are the elite confidants under Qu Yi's command. No matter what the general does, they will unconditionally support him.

Even if the general went to drink in private now, they wouldn't say a word, and they still cheered up and defended the city.

In the county seat of Ji County, Gongsun Zan led troops to station here, and guarded the place like gold.

Ji County was originally a strategically important place, and Gongsun Zan had been strengthening the city all the time, so even [-] Jizhou troops could not conquer it here.

Gongsun Zan was sitting behind the table in the general's mansion, looking at the topographic map of Youzhou worriedly, and suddenly discovered something very ominous.

"No! Dai County plus Zhongshan County, and then connected to Anci County, this has become a new line of defense for Jizhou!"

"Could it be that Han Wu has already thought of this, so he led troops to attack Dai County and Anci County? No, unless he knows the terrain in southern Youzhou very well, he can see this."

"Being able to understand the terrain in southern Youzhou so well, there are only Xu Rong and Qu Yi in the Jizhou army. No wonder they want to attack Anci together!"

"Zhang Yan has controlled him in Daijun. He is not a guy who can be easily dealt with, plus the whole Zhuojun..."

Gongsun Zan sighed sadly, pinched the bridge of his nose, and patted his desk heavily with his left hand.

None of the soldiers under his command knew what Gongsun Zan was thinking, not even his confidantes knew what the lord was thinking.

"Immediately send someone to tell Guan Jing that he must guard Shanggu County! We have to delay with Han Wu for a while until he withdraws!"

"As long as Shanggu County is not lost, our Ji County can stop Han Wu's army, and Youzhou will be as solid as gold."

After Gongsun Zan understood the line of defense, he immediately asked the soldiers under his command to start writing documents and informed Guan Jing.

Gongsun Zan continued: "Han Qi, you lead troops to support Guan Jing in Shanggu County. Qu Yi and Xu Rong joined forces to attack Guangyang County. It is not your fault that you lost Anci County, but this Shanggu County must not be lost!"

"I will personally guard this place. You go to support Guan Jing and make sure he guards the entire Shanggu County. If possible, sneak attack and take back Dai County!"

Han Qi immediately took the order, turned around and went to count the steps, and prepared to rush to Shanggu County to support Guan Jing in the starry night.

The soldiers under his command went to make preparations one after another. Gongsun Zan beat the table again, gritted his teeth and said, "Han Wu, no matter how strong your troops are, I, Gongsun Zan, will fight you to the end!"

Gongsun Zan was determined to fight Han Wu to the death, and he promised that as long as he gave himself another year, he would definitely not be weaker than Han Wu.

After all, too many troops were consumed when they cleared up the foreign races in the grassland, and even Gongsun Zan is not at the peak of his troops now.

Inside the prefect's mansion in Zhuojun County, Han Wu sneezed, took a deep breath and rubbed his nose.

"Who is scheming me? Could it be Gongsun Zan, or Cao Cao? The scheming made me start to sneeze. Could it be a cold..."

Han Wu stretched his waist, put the last bamboo slip aside, stood up and went to the courtyard to play Wu Qin Xi again.

His stomach was already empty, Han Wu turned around and waved to Hua Mulan, asking her to go out to the restaurant for dinner with him.

The restaurant in Zhuojun has contracted Han Wu's three meals a day, and there are also special bloodthirsty tiger guards and doctors for drug testing.

Guo Jia would drink here every night, and now that it was not wartime, he had begun to indulge himself.

Even though Han Wu kept reminding Guo Jia not to drink too much, he still couldn't help but drink secretly, just to ensure that he would not get drunk again.

It's just that every time before Han Wu comes to eat, Guo Jia will slip away in advance, so as not to be caught by Han Wu.

Sitting by the window on the second floor of the restaurant to eat, Han Wu saw Dian Wei downstairs climbing up to the second floor.

Dian Wei strode up to Han Wu, knelt down on one knee and said, "Master, Gongsun Zan has retreated to Ji County, and he sent [-] troops to guard Shanggu County."

"General Zhang Yan successfully captured Dai County, and is preparing to divide his troops to harass the county seat of Shanggu County. General Qu Yi has sent news that Gongsun Zan has plans to fight a protracted war."

Han Wu nodded lightly when he heard it. He also knew that Gongsun Zan was going to confront him now.

Han Wu didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Okay, if that's the case, you continue to guard the city of Zhuojun County."

"Spend a month here with Gongsun Zan, and then we will retreat to Yecheng. After that, I will let Xu Rong and Qu Yi guard Zhuojun and Anci, and all the bloodthirsty tiger guards will return."

As soon as Han Wu finished speaking, he waved to Dian Wei and told him to stand guard at the stairs on the second floor.

Although Dian Wei hadn't eaten yet, he didn't complain at all, and immediately went to guard the stairs.

The safety of the lord comes first, and Dian Wei has never been hungry since he joined the Jizhou Army, so naturally he is not in a hurry to eat dinner.

Hua Mulan ate with the young master, and she ate slowly on purpose, apparently to delay time.

Because the young master said today that he will be buried together, Hua Mulan has to wait until dark before going back with the young master.

Han Wu also saw what Hua Mulan meant, but she couldn't refuse herself, so it's okay to delay.
