October 206 Battle to fight Wen Xu!

[ann]

Ma Dieu leads every army he has across the border from Huainan and commences a Provincial Invasion of Wen Xu! Oddly enough, his armies encounter armies dispatched by Xiang Jun and Deng Yue to take the city of Shouchun!

The armies meet near Shouchun. Either may retreat though Ma Dieu may not retreat from the city while continuing with the remainder of the attack. Please combine force for PC if you intend to continue. Please post your decisions asap. This battle will be run by Kymvir.

[Kymvir Raemiz]

Ma Dieu may:

1. Retreat and give up the entire provincial campaign. He has no cities in Jiujiang, so may not hold towns or villages there.
2. Fight Xiang Jun
3. Combine with Xiang Jun in an assault on Wen Xu. The split of spoils must be declared beforehand, and if Ma Dieu doesn't take Shouchun, he may not take towns or villages.

Xiang Jun may:
1. Retreat to defend his posessions from Li Jiacheng.
2. Retreat to Changsha.
3. Fight Ma Dieu.
4. Combine with Ma Dieu in an assault on Wen Xu. The split of spoils must be declared beforehand, and if Xiang Jun doesn't take Shouchun AND loses to Li Jiacheng in the provincial invasion, he loses all possessions to Li Jiacheng.

Wen Xu may hang around until the above decisions are made.

[Kymvir Raemiz]

Xiang Jun retreats from this invasion when he spots the unexpected forces of Ma Dieu approaching.

This battle will now be Wen Xu vs Ma Dieu. Please post your defensive forces, Wen Xu.

[Kymvir Raemiz]

As Ma Dieu's forces start snapping up Wen Xu's posessions, his generals wait for him to appear from the castle to lead them to battle. He does not appear, and when they finally enter the fortress to find him, the find the place cold and abandoned. They quickly follow suit.

Wen Xu's lands are taken without a fight by Ma Dieu.
