Chapter 271: The Smoke of Gunpowder Will Rise
"Jizhou, my lord, I don't understand, aren't they going to attack Youzhou? Why did it become an attack on Jizhou again?"
Dian Wei scratched his muscular head and asked with a puzzled expression. In fact, not only Dian Wei was puzzled, but Zhao Yun and Ye Gucheng also had doubts in their hearts. However, with this guy Dian Wei here, he never has to worry about his doubts not being answered. Unless Yuan Chang deliberately betrayed Guanzi, they would be able to get an answer every time Dian Wei asked.
"Bonghyo, say it!"
Yuan Chang nodded to Guo Jia, and then sat quietly on the side, being a qualified listener.
Guo Jia, as Yuan Chang's strategist, will undoubtedly be crowned with the title of military advisor when Yuan Chang shows his power and hides his hideous side in the future, which Zhao Yun and others understand. Even if Yuan Chang can recruit top strategists like Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong in the future, the title of military advisor is still Guo Jia's.
As a strategist and a military advisor, he should show his intelligence. And Yuan Chang, as the head of the people, wants to give his subordinates a platform to show their abilities. Even if Yuan Chang knew what was going on, he still had to give the opportunity to his subordinates. Otherwise, everything will be solved by Yuan Chang, so that Guo Jia's ability will not be recognized, and it will also make others dependent. The importance of the position of military advisor is undoubted, and it can be said that he is the most powerful person besides the lord.
Just like Yuan Shao appointed Lu Zhi as a military advisor, Wen Chou and Yan Liang, two guys who have followed Yuan Shao for a long time and have eyes above the top, do not dare to make a mistake in front of Lu Zhi. Of course, Lu Zhi was able to obey Yuan Shao's orders because of Lu Zhi's reputation, and Zhuge Liang, when he was appointed by Liu Bei as a military advisor, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's sworn brothers, obviously disdained Zhuge Liang. If it weren't for Bo Wangpo's fire that burned Xiahoudun and fled, I believe that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would still be the same to Zhuge Liang. Later, under countless battles, Zhuge Liang used his ability to completely convince Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Therefore, the position of military advisor is not only based on the trust of the lord, but also a manifestation of ability.
Guo Jia naturally understood Yuan Chang's intentions, and he didn't shirk at the moment, he bowed to Yuan Changzuo, and said to everyone with a confident face: "I have said before that with the character of a yellow turban thief, they would burn and loot when they encountered the county seat, but this time they did not disturb the people, which means that some of them commanded. Being able to control the Yellow Turban Thief to such an extent shows that this person's ability is not bad. In that case, why did he attack Youzhou?"
"Fengxiao, didn't they issue a notice saying that they were going to attack Youzhou, is there anything wrong with attacking Youzhou?"
Dian Wei asked innocently, but after being glared at by Yuan Chang, he immediately sat honestly on the side and didn't speak.
"They issued a notice saying that they were going to attack Youzhou, but the art of war is cloudy and real, and the virtual is real, which is just their trick. First of all, you have to understand that attacking Youzhou is good for them?"
Hearing Guo Jia's inquiry, everyone thought about it, is it good to attack Youzhou?
After thinking about it for a while, they found that attacking Youzhou would not benefit them at all. On the contrary, attacking Youzhou will put them in a difficult situation.
How so?
First of all, Liu Yu, the current assassin of Youzhou, is a relative of the Han family, and the Yellow Turban Thief is the enemy of the Han family, Liu Yu will definitely fight back desperately. There are no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou, and if the peasants of the Yellow Turban Thieves want to attack Youzhou, it can be said that nine times out of ten they will fail; secondly, even if they capture Youzhou, one will have to face the neighboring alien races in Youzhou. The aliens will be afraid of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, but they will not be afraid of the thieves formed by these peasants, and when the time comes, they will enter Youzhou to loot as easily as they enter their own homes. In addition to the alien race, Jizhou will also be their nightmare.
If Youzhou is captured by the Yellow Turban Thieves, the imperial court will definitely order Yuan Shao to attack the Yellow Turban Thieves in Youzhou. Although the majesty of the Han family is no longer the same, as long as Yuan Shao has not established himself as a king, he will more or less have to pose as a courtier. Moreover, attacking Youzhou is not harmful for Yuan Shao, and he can also expand his territory. Therefore, at that time, Yuan Shao will definitely send troops.
Thinking about it this way, the Yellow Turban Thieves really did not have the slightest benefit from attacking Youzhou. As long as there is a little brain, no one will make such a decision, and the person who looks behind the Yellow Turban Thief is obviously not without brains. so
Will he be brain-dead to attack Youzhou?
Dian Wei just wanted to speak, but Yuan Chang suddenly waved his hand to stop him. Then, Yuan Chang looked at everyone and said in a serious tone: "Those present are all our own people, and now our power is not small. It's time to settle down on some things, Feng Xiaoming is the lord of Bohai County on the surface, and in the future, he will be our military advisor, do you have any questions?"
Usually, it is okay for everyone to call out their names in private, but when it comes to discussion, it is natural to have a corresponding job title. Otherwise, it looks like child's play. Therefore, Yuan Chang planned to give Guo Jia the title of military advisor in advance.
Several people glanced at each other, and at the same time bowed to Guo Jia and shouted, "I've seen the military advisor!"
"Okay, what do you have to say, what questions do you have to say!"
Everyone knows Guo Jia's ability, and they all understand that Guo Jia will become a military advisor sooner or later. Now it's just a little bit ahead, and of course they don't have any resistance.
"Strategist, I don't understand, since their goal is Jizhou, why don't they just join forces in one place, and divide their troops to attack from two directions? Moreover, what is the use of them if they capture our territory?"
Guo Jia smiled lightly and said something earth-shattering.
"They want to capture Bohai County so that Gongsun Chan has no worries about sending troops. ”
"What? Gongsun Chan sent troops?"
"How is it possible, does Gongsun Chan dare to risk the world's condemnation and collude with the Yellow Turban Thief?"
Hearing Guo Jia's words, except for Yuan Chang, everyone was shocked. Although Gongsun Chan was a prince of one side, as a courtier of the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Chan was more qualified than Yuan Shao.
At the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Gongsun Chan also sent troops and took the lead, which can be said to be a model for pacifying the Yellow Turban thieves. Later, when he begged Dong, Gongsun Chan did not refuse, as a courtier, Gongsun Chan was obviously loyal to his duties. But now Guo Jia said that Gongsun Chan colluded with the Yellow Turban Thieves, which really shocked them. Of course, they don't believe Guo Jia, and I believe that everyone will be shocked when they hear this kind of words.
"Normally, Gongsun Zhan's behavior is indeed collusion with the Yellow Turban Thieves, but if the Yellow Turban Thieves capture Bohai County, and Gongsun Chan defeats the Yellow Turban Thieves, he recruits them again. In this case, can his behavior be regarded as colluding with the Yellow Turban thieves? This will not only increase his prestige, but also increase his troops, and Gongsun Chan and the person behind the scenes are indeed calculating. ”
"Gongsun Zhan's house is really hateful, I want to screw off his head. ”
Dian Wei listened to Guo Jia's words, and immediately shouted loudly, as for doubting Guo Jia's thoughts, don't be joking, what Guo Jia said, is there anything wrong?
Yuan Chang was able to think of these things because Yuan Chang integrated them according to what he knew in his previous life. In addition, Yuan Chang is not a stupid person, so he can understand. However, Guo Jia completely relied on his own wisdom to think of so much, and his resourcefulness was obviously beyond doubt.
"Strategist, in that case, have you thought of a countermeasure?"
Since Guo Jia is a military advisor, Yuan Chang naturally will not call him by his name. There are no rules, and although they are not very powerful now, they must get used to it as soon as possible. Otherwise, in the future, he will be able to become more powerful, and Yuan Chang will directly call Guo Jia's name every time, wouldn't it make Guo Jia have no majesty.
Guo Jia lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said confidently: "Lord, there is a mountain ten miles outside Nanpi City, called Jiazi Mountain, which is the only way for the Yellow Turban Thief. There are mountain walls on both sides of Jiazi Mountain, and there is only one passage through it, which can accommodate ten people at a time. Now there are only 3,000 defenders in Nanpi City, and if the city is defended, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses. Even if we can repel the Yellow Turban Thief, once Gongsun Chan arrives, we can easily take it down. Therefore, the subordinates thought that we could ambush the Yellow Turban thieves on both sides of Jiazi Mountain, repel the Yellow Turban Thieves, save our troops, and wait for Gongsun Chan to arrive, so that we could have the strength to fight. ”
"In that case, follow the arrangement of the military advisor!"
Guo Jia stood solemnly and looked at Zhao Yun and Dian Wei: "Zhao Yun listens to the order, you lead 1,000 people to ambush on the left side of Jiazi Mountain; Listen to the drums and attack at the same time, don't crush the enemy in one fell swoop. If it is violated, it will be dealt with by military law. ”
Guo Jia is worthy of being Guo Jia, even if it is the first time to give orders, he can be so calm and calm.
"Subordinates obey!"
"Subordinates obey!"
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei's eyes flashed with high-spirited battle intent at the same time, this was the first battle between Yuan Chang and his men. Victory or defeat plays an extremely important role in their morale, and of course, they are convinced that they will be the victorious side.
Two days later, in the evening, the spies finally found out the news of the Yellow Turban Thieves, who may not know that their purpose has been guessed by Yuan Chang and Guo Jia. They will face a merciless slaughter, and no one will have mercy on them, and from the time they took this step, they probably expected such a day.
