Chapter 386 – Battle of Xiapi – Part 6
After promotion, Xiahou Yuan obtained all the authorities to maneuver all troops at his disposal. Nobody could command him other than Yuan Shao.
As such, Xiahou Yuan appointed Xu Chu as his vice commander and Guo Jia as the strategist of the entire army.
As soon as Guo Jia had the command token from Xiahou Yuan, he reorganized Yuan Shao's battalions. Instead of trying to break out of the city, Guo Jia suggested a plan that they stay in the city, so they could send their spies to burn or smuggle out Yuan Shao's supplies slowly.
Guo Jia's goal was to distract the soldiers in the city not to move out, so Cao Cao could begin his plan, ambushing and destroying Tian Feng Army in the north. Once that time arrived, Xiahou Yuan would get an easier time to kill Yuan Shao and everybody in his clan.
