Chen Xi did not tell others that he would be taking his wife with him, as it wasn't something commendable to bring one's family to war, few had ever earned a good reputation for it.
In Yanzhou, after Guo Jia stabilized the situation, he no longer confronted Lyu Bu directly but instead harassed Chen Gong by laying ambushes, striking one day and tormenting the next, each time only slaying fifty or so men. Yet, over time, Lyu Bu's Army, which initially had high morale, found it gradually undermined.
However, Chen Gong was not someone who could be easily dealt with. After being outwitted by Guo Jia, he managed to hit back with two counter-ambushes. Eventually, both sides became more restrained.
"This situation is rather troubling," Guo Jia muttered under his breath, watching Yuan Shao's Army encamped across the river with a sense of resignation. It was clear that a tacit understanding had formed between Yuan Shao's Army and Lyu Bu's Army.
