Xun Yu who was working in his office, was surprised by the arrival of the bird and after taking the letter he immediately read it, where surprise turned to joy after reading the content inside the letter. He didn't expect that Jia Kui managed to persuade Han Sui, to not only cooperate but also to swear his allegiance to Cao Cao, so holding the letter he immediately left his office to see Cao Cao to report the good news.
Cao Cao was inside his office, receiving a report from Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai who were reporting the result of around 1 and a half weeks of brainstorming by the two to create two strategies that Cao Cao requested.
Currently, Guo Jia is illustrating the strategy where Han has agreed to cooperate with them. The strategy started with Han Sui declaring his intention to challenge Ma Teng once again, distracting Ma Teng from fortifying his defense in Chang'An.
When Han Sui managed to distract Ma Teng, Cao Cao's Army under the leadership of Cao Ren, Xu Huang, and Zhang Ji would cross Tong Gate and head toward Chang'An under the cover of the night.
Why at night, because it's to minimize the chances of them being found out and minimize the range of visibility Ma Teng's patrols have, so that if they ever encounter one they could wipe them out first.
Then when Xi Zhicai wanted to continue explaining the plan to Cao Cao, a guard interior them and informed them that Xun Yu was requesting permission to enter, as he had something to report to Cao Cao.
Hearing this Cao Cao told the guards to allow Xun Yi to enter, and soon Xun Yu entered the office after the guard informed him that Cao Cao allowed him to enter.
Seeing that there were Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai present at the office, after greeting Cao Cao, Xun Yu then apologized for interrupting the activities that Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai were undertaking.
Both Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai said it was not a problem whatsoever, and Guo Jia then said that they knew Xun You would never interrupt them if it weren't for an important matter.
Cao Cao agreed with what Guo Jia said and told Xun Yu that it was not a problem, then he continued by asking Xun Yu what is it that he wanted to inform him.
Xun Yu: "My Lord, I have received a letter from Jia Kui that reported the result of his meeting with Han Sui at Anding."
Cao Cao: "Truly?! What does the letter contain? Is he successful in convincing Han Sui to cooperate with us?"
Xun Yu: "Not only he is successful My Lord, I could say that he gave us a very great result! He not only managed to confuse Han Sui to work with us, but he also managed to persuade Han Sui to submit to us and you're his allegiance to My Lord!"
Cao Cao: "Really?! Haha! I never expected this to happen! Jia Kui truly has great talent, for managing to convince Han Sui to do so was very astonishing!"
Guo Jia: "Congratulations My Lord! Now not only Han Sui would cooperate with us, but he also swore his allegiance to My Lord allowing us to gain a large number of talented generals and a big army for us to use in Liang Province in the future!"
Cao Cao: "Good Good! I have long heard that Han Sui has Eight talented Cavalry Generals under him, having them on our side could increase the combat power of our cavalry units! By the way, how does Jia Kui manage to convince Han Sui, and also how large Han Sui's current Army was?"
Xun Yi: "He doesn't describe it in detail but he said that My Lord's gift and promotions okayed a large part and that Han Sui himself showed his interest, he only capitalized on the opportunity that was present."
Xi Zhicai: "As for the number of Han Sui's men, currently after being defeated by Ma Teng he has around 50,000 men My Lord, from 125,000 men where around 75,000 men were taken by Ma Teng to increase his men from 125,000 men to 200,000 men."
Cao Cao: "I see, it's good that Jia Kui manages to capitalize on the opportunity present. Also, will Han Sui's 50,000 men could bolster our strategy to defeat Ma Teng?"
Guo Jia hearing Cao Cao's question nodded his head and informed Cao Cao that while 50,000 was not much, it was Han Sui's elite units and he calculated that Han Sui could increase his army to 75,000 men with the size of the domain he currently holds.
Hearing this news Cao Cao was happy and ordered that Jia Kui be rewarded and promised for his effort and that Han Sui would be assigned as the Inspector of Liang Province for him in the future after they managed to defeat Ma Teng.
He also requested for Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai to revise the plan according to the changes that had just happened and to report to him when it was done.
The two cupped their hand toward Cao Cao recycling his order, while Xun Yu was mulling over what kind of reward and promotion Jia Kui should receive.
Cao Cao in Xuchang received a piece of good news and his plan began to underway a positive start, far away from the Northeast at the border of China, Zhang Liao and Gongsun Gong continued their fight against the Goguryeos.
The failure of the Goguryeo's main general of capitalizing on the opportunity to cripple Zhang Liao and the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry proved to be a very horrible thing for them.
After Zhang Liao and the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry managed to slip out from the formation of the Goguryeo Army, Zhang Liao led the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry to pick up the Goguryeo's soldiers that were on the outer side of the formation.
While that was happening, Gao Shun also headed out leading his Formation Breaker Unit to attack the Goguryeos.
Gao Shun does so because he wants to continue weakening the Goguryeo's combat power, at first, they planned to hold out and for the Goguryeo's Army to regroup into one big army before clashing with them.
But after seeing that they managed to trap Zhang Liao and the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry, Gao Shun realized that they underestimated the Goguryeo's combat power and strategic mind.
So after giving command of the army to Gongsun Gong, he heads out to support Zhang Liao's endeavor. Zhang Liao was surprised by the sudden changes in the plan, but he fully trusted Gao Shun and that whatever changes being made were needed.
Gao Shun's Formation Breaker Unit previously amounted to around 5,000 men but after joining Lie Fan, he was requested by Lie Fan to increase them to around 15,000 men so Gao Shun did so.
The increase of 10,000 men disrupted their combat power for a while, but under Gao Shun's training and leadership, they managed to return to their normal combat power, even exceeding it and becoming even more powerful.
Seeing the incoming 15,000 men, the Goguryeo's main general decided to hold and let them come, preparing this man for a defensive battle, and once again this was a bad move because Gao Shun and his unit caused a large blow to the Goguryeo's formation.
The name of Formation Breaker wasn't for nothing, Gao Shun showed why his unit lived up to its name and at the expense of the Goguryeo's soldiers being killed left and right, which caused the Goguryeo's formation to almost collapse.
At this time when the Main General of the Gogiuryeo's Army almost lost hope for any chance of survivability for his army, several kilometers from his location in two directions large army was heading to them.
It was the other Goguryeo's Army around the area, that was arriving after receiving the letter requesting their help from their Main General.
The Goguryeo's main general receiving this information was ecstatic and began to order his army to hold out as best as they could, as their reinforcement had arrived and on their way to support them.
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao also received this piece of news, knowing that the number would not be in their favor the two ordered their unit to retreat back to their Army Encampment.
Seeing this the Goguryeo's main general tried to keep them by ordering his men to hinder their retreat, but unfortunately, their combat power couldn't stop them.
When the Goguryeo's reinforcement finally arrived, both Gao Shun and Zhang Liao alongside their unit managed to retreat safely to their Army encampment.
The Goguryei's main general was happy seeing his comrade had finally arrived to save him because after doing a census of 50,000 men he had previously, he had around 30,000 men remaining.
This was a huge blow to him and the Goguryeo Kingdom, fortunately with the arrival of the rest of the Goguryeo's army with heavy numbered around 50,000 men also, they bolstered their number to 130,000 men.
He believes that he could take on the Han Army with this number, because in his mind the combat power of the Han Army would still be the same as the previous one, with only Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's unit as an exception.
He doesn't realize that his thoughts would be the cause of defeat for him and his army, which would cause large setbacks for the Goguryeo Kingdom.
After holding a meeting with his comrades, generals, and advisors, they came up with a plan of attack to take down Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's Army encampment which was made like a defensive formation.
Remembering Zhang Liao's movement attack with his cavalry, the Goguryeo's main general decided to utilize the same tactics used by Zhang Liao and order his cavalry to set out first while the main army followed from behind.
This movement was seen by Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Gongsun Gong from their encampment, Zhang Liao laughed seeing this because he never expected that the Goguryeos would be blinded by their own ego, and use the same tactics that he used.
What the Goguryeos don't know is that his tactic base form was the combat power of the cavalry, something that the Goguryeo's cavalry doesn't have in his mind, and soon enough it was proven by how ineffective was the Goguryeo's cavalry in trying to weaken Zhang Liao and Gongsun Gong's army, it even reversed with them gaining large amount casualties causing the Goguryeo's main general ordering them to retreat.

What the Goguryeos don't know is that his tactic base form was the combat power of the cavalry, something that the Goguryeo's cavalry doesn't have in his mind, and soon enough it was proven by how ineffective was the Goguryeo's cavalry in trying to weaken Zhang Liao and Gongsun Gong's army, it even reversed with them gaining large amount casualties causing the Goguryeo's main general ordering them to retreat.
This dealt a huge blow to the Goguryeo's Army morale which had risen due to their reinforcement had arrived, their men thought that they finally had the chance to inflict casualties on the Han Army.
Gongsun Gong ordered the archers to shoot at the retreating Goguryeo's Cavalry, inflicting further damage to the Goguryeo's cavalry.
The Goguryeo's main general seeing this changes his tactic and has the cavalry incorporated inside the formation, and from there he makes some last minute changes where the cavalry becomes the vanguard.
He hoped that using the cavalry would delay a massive blow to the Han Army formation, and from there he would utilize the infantries to enter the gap that the cavalries had created to support them.
Lastly, the archers would do some covering fire, targeting the Han Army archer units to suppress them and ensure that his infantries and cavalry could deal the highest damage possible.
When Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Gongsun Gong saw the last minute changes made by the Goguryeo Army, they didn't care about it much because changing a plan of attack at this conjecture wasn't a good idea.
So Gao Shun and Gongsun Gong only ordered their men to tighten their defensive formation line, while Zhang Liao prepared the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry to leave the formation at any moment, and did a pincer attack on the Goguryeo Army.
The clash between the two armies was very big, and unfortunately for the Goguryeo Army, their cavalry couldn't deal a big blow to Zhang Liao and Gongsun Gong's Army.
This caused a big problem for them, as then not all of their infantries had a gap to enter and capitalize on it to disrupt the defensive formation of their enemy, and the reason this happened is due to Gao Shun used the shield wall tactics, but incorporated the nest of bees and fire lance.
This new technology surprised the Goguryeo Army and Gongsun Gong, as they had never seen this kind of weapon before. Both of these weapons inflicted a large amount of damage to the Goguryeo's infantries and cavalries.
Gongsun Gong: "What kind of weapon is this General Gao Shun?! How come I have never heard of them in all of my life?!"
Gao Shun: "Haha these two weapons are called the Nest of Bees and Fire Lance! Both of them were made by the brightest minds under My Lord's disposal! So I should say that Master Gongsun Gong chose to swear your allegiance to My Lord is the best action!"
Gongsun Gong: "Yes I could say that I feel relieved to have sworn my allegiance to Lord Lie Fan! I never expected that he would have such weapons under his disposal!"
Gaso Shun: "These two weapons aren't the only ones at My Lord's disposal, there are still many weapons like the Hwacha that could be said to be My Lord's most dangerous weapon!"
Zhang Liao: "There are also large ships that were beyond the technology of this era! Those ships were equipped with the Hwacha that Gao Shun had just said, with these we managed to destroy both Liu Yan and Liu Biao's navy at a fast speed!"
Gongsun Gong hearing what both Zhang Liao and Gao Shun had just said was very shocked, he didn't expect that Lie Fan would have such an amazing arsenal of weapons and manage to hide it for so long until he decided to show it at the time he wanted.
The nest of bees and fire lance appearance was very surprising for the Goguryeos, the Goguryeo's main general was surprised, and before he could ask one of his retainers if they ever heard or seen these two weapons, they were attacked from behind.
The one who attacked them was Zhang Liao, who led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and attacked the rear of the Goguryeo's Army that was distracted by the appearance of The nest of bees and fire lance.
Zhang Liao and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry managed to cause a large blow, where they managed to carve inside the formation of the Goguryeo's Army, decimating many Goguryeos along the way.
This caused the Goguryeo main general to arrange his archer units to target Zhang Liao and the Bingzhou Wolf cavalry, and this move caused the frontline situation for the Goguryeos to change as their infantries didn't have any support from the rear.
Gao Shun seeing this immediately sends his formation breaker unit to the front line, with the support of the formation breaker unit the other normal units to thwart the attack of the Goguryeos.
The Goguryeos were overwhelmed by the pincer attack and the failure of their offensive plan further caused a large blow.
Many of the Goguryeo's generals reported news after news of their defeat after defeat at their front to their main general, which caused the Goguryeo main general to have a headache.
He never expected that their offensive plan would fail miserably, he asked the advisors around him what action should they take, and half of his advisors told him to retreat while the other half advised him to keep pressing the Han Army.
Before the Goguryeo main general could decide what to do, suddenly they saw the Han Army launch another frontal assault using the nest of bees and firelance, and manage to turn from defensive to offensive.
Seeing the sudden turn of situation, the Goguryeo's main general panicked and was afraid that they would lose so he immediately ordered a retreat ignoring some of the dissatisfied advisors and generals.
The drum of the retreat was sounded and the Goguryeos soldiers hearing this began to retreat at full speed, even trampling some of their comrades ignoring their plea for help.
Zhang Liao who was at the rear of the Goguryeo Army alongside the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, noticed the situation and led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to leave the rear of the Goguryeo Army formation.
Gao Shun and Gongsun Gong noticed the retreat of the Goguryeo Army and ordered their army to not pursue the Goguryeo Army, as their focus was to subjugate the surrounding area.
The Goguryeo's retreat was ugly since they left many of their comrades and equipment behind, and seeing this Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Gongsun Gong ordered their unit to round up the left behind Goguryeos and their equipment.
In the battle between Lie Fan's Army and the Goguryeo's Army at the border of China and the Goguryeo, Anding Jia Kui received a letter from Xun Yu that said Cao Cao accepted Han Sui's swear of allegiance and informed Jia Kui to proceed as they planned, helping Han Sui to issue the challenge to Ma Teng.
Jia Kui heaved a sigh of relief that Cao Cao agreed with Han Sui's swear of allegiance that he accepted in Cao Cao's name, he was afraid that he had overstepped Cao Cao in accepting Han Sui's swear of allegiance.
Jia Kui accompanied by Li Dian headed toward Han Sui's residence where Han Sui was currently located, Jia Kui managed to meet Han Sui easily since now they were comrades serving Cao Cao.
Han Sui takes Jia Kui and Li Dian to the men's hall of his residence, and after taking their seats Jia Kui immediately informs Han Sui of Cao Cao's decision and tells him that Cao Cao wants him to issue a challenge to Ma Teng, where it was a smoke screen for Cao Cao to send his army to Chang'An.
Hearing this Han Sui was silent for a while and then nodded his head, he only requested that Cao Cao's Army be as fast as possible since the amount of his army wasn't as big as it was before.
Jia Kui nodded his head and told Han Sui that he didn't need to worry because the early had been prepared at Tong Gate and when the moment was perfect, the army would march toward Chang'An at the cover of the night.
Hearing this plan Han Sui agrees and suggests that they take a shortcut from Tong Pass, one that he knew north of Tong Pass that they could use, at this summer time the river was very shallow and they could use it to head toward Chang'An faster.
Hearing that Han Sui even gave some suggestions, Jia Kui then gave Han Sui a letter that he already drafted filled with a statement of challenge toward Ma Teng, Han Sui took the letter from Jia Kui and opened it to read the content inside.
Seeing the choice of words that were chosen as the statement of challenge to Ma Teng, Han Sui was satisfied with it because Jia Kui had used personal words that he would definitely use and Ma Teng wouldn't be suspicious of his action.
Han Sui asked for a day for him to prepare to release this statement and Jia Kui nodded his head, he also agreed with this move and said that he would wait for Han Sui's action tomorrow.
So a day passed by and Han Sui released his statement of challenge to Ma Teng, which was full of insults, and told Ma Teng that he didn't accept their treaty and demanded his towns be returned to him while cursing at Ma Teng.
Ma Teng in Chang'An was enjoying his time with his family when he received the report from his advisors about Han Sui's challenge.
Hearing this he was surprised and at the same time wasn't surprised, maybe if it wasn't filled with curses to him he would be suspicious, but hearing that there were personal insults to him, he knew that it was Han Sui himself and that he somewhat waited for this to happen.
Ma Teng told Ma Chao who was with him to inform Pang De to ready their army in case Han Sui sent his army, even though Han Sui only had 50,000 men they couldn't let their guard down.
So with Ma Teng's words to ready his army, Pang De alongside Ma Chao stationed their army in the north of Chang'An, where they also reduced the amount of patrol between Chang'An and Tong Gate not knowing that this was the perfect money for Cao Cao's Army to exploit, where they send their army lead by Cao Ren, Xu Huang, and Zhang Ji to Chang'A under the cover of the night using the shortcut from Jia Kui who received it from Han Sui.
