Li Qin was very clear that the plan had a very high success rate in the early stages, namely, a large-scale detour to capture the completely undefended Xuanfu.
However, once Wu Jun learns that Xuanfu has fallen, they will definitely return to its aid.
Whether Li Xuanshang and his men can hold off the enemy who wants to return is a big question.
If we can't hold them off and they escape, then my few thousand cavalrymen will have to face tens of thousands of troops from Xuanfu.
The reason Li Qin agreed to the plan in the first place was because he could take Xuanfu.
Ultimately, there are only two possible outcomes: either the Xuanfu army is held back, or the Xuanfu army is completely annihilated.
Secondly, the Xuanfu army has fled back to Xuanfu, temporarily relieving the pressure on the west.
This not only freed up 70,000 troops, but also bought him more time to continue his attack on the capital.
That's why when he left, he told me that if we encountered the Xuanfu army, I should take these few thousand people back with me.
Throughout the journey, I had been pondering how to completely contain the tens of thousands of troops from Xuanfu.
In the end, he decided to take the riskiest move yet.
My long-distance raid on Xuanfu was already a risky move, but if I take Xuanfu and then continue the long-distance raid to capture Juyong Pass, I can completely contain the tens of thousands of troops in Xuanfu.
So after capturing Xuanfu, he immediately left more than 2,000 people to garrison Xuanfu, and led the remaining 2,000 people, dressed in Wu army uniforms, to launch another surprise attack on Juyong Pass.
He knew this move was extremely dangerous, but which marquis didn't do it this way, risking their life in the process?
Fortunately, he succeeded, looking at the Wu army's Xuanfu cavalry that were blocked outside.
He knew that after this battle, he would likely be directly admitted to the core leadership of the young marshal Li Qin.
He was ranked alongside generals such as Wang Taihe and Zhou Wentong.
