Compared to Chen Xi's side, which had long been prepared for defense and was ready to hold out for a prolonged battle before exploiting their advantage, Xuu You was pondering how to win this war.
The army led by Wen Chou, composed of seven thousand men, did not include a single infantryman, every one of them had two horses. Only Yuan Shao and Li Jue could afford so many horses in the world today.
Xuu You hurriedly made his way to Linyi without stopping. He and Tian Feng originally set out from Jizhou to Bingzhou to mobilize troops, and now were rushing their forces towards Linyi, near Jizhou. If it weren't for the initial time crunch, Xuu You would have definitely desired a major battle beneath the walls of Linyi.
"Wen Chou, send your trusted aide Wenchang with your seal ribbon to Jizhou to call up more troops," Xuu You ordered, clad in a fresh long robe and only beginning to eat, commanding Wen Chou while having his meal.
