Episode 168: The Taiping Army moves, and Guo Jia surrenders

Just when the alliance of princes completely collapsed and dissipated, Xiao Lan's Taiping army had completely stabilized the results of victory, Tao Qian could only flee all the way to the vicinity of Bishui Pass, the remaining soldiers and horses were less than 5,000, Xu Chu Zhoucang led the army to chase and kill, but ran into Liu Guan and Zhang three brothers who returned from Luoyang, saved Tao Qian's life, and retreated to Bishui Pass, Xu Chu and Zhou Cang's 30,000 army Chen Bing passed down, waiting for instructions.

When Xiao Lan got the front-line battle report, he was training a new general: Dian Wei!

Dian Wei: Chen Liuji is a man, he is burly, powerful, ambitious, and chivalrous. At that time, fellow townsman Liu and Suiyang Li Yong were enemies, Dian Wei avenged Liu's grievances, intercepted and killed Li Yong, and killed Li Yong's wife, although there were hundreds of followers, but no one dared to approach.

During the early peace period, Dong Zhuo of Liangzhou was in turmoil, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao and Cao Cao formed an anti-Dong alliance army, and Zheng Dian Wei was a sergeant, subordinate to Sima Zhao Chong. The Yamen flag in the army was so long and large that people could not raise it, but Dian Wei actually held it up with one hand, and let the wind rage, and the flagpole stood still.

During the Xingping period, Zhang Miao broke with Cao Cao, and waited for the opportunity to sneak attack Cao Cao, Dian Wei switched to Cao Cao, subordinate to Xiahou Dan, and fought everywhere with Xiahou Dan, killed the enemy several times, and was worshiped as Sima. The twelve halberds that he carried with him wore through the poplar in 100 steps, and the example was not in vain. The eight-hundred-pound double iron halberd, as if there is nothing, can be used freely.

When he served as Cao Cao's personal guard, he never left an inch from morning to night, even if he was sleepy at night, most of them rested outside Cao Cao's tent, and rarely returned to the house.

Cao Cao Wancheng pickled girls, it was the last battle of Dian Wei's life, and it was also the most glorious battle, fighting with his bare hands, killing and beating countless Zhang Xiubu, and after his death, no one dared to take a step forward to protect Cao Cao's whole body and retreat.

Martial arts are superb, loyal and brave. Such a character, how could Xiao Lan not like it, this was also one of his great gains in breaking the alliance of the six princes, and it was also his coincidence. At this time, Dian Wei did not follow Cao Cao, but a sergeant under Zhang Miao's account, when Zhang Miao was defeated, most of the army was captured by the Taiping army, and Dian Wei was also among them. was reported because of his amazing appetite and great strength, and finally Xiao Lan knew about it and was promoted to a personal guard.

"Tao Qian's old thief is really lucky, he was saved by the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang." Xiao Lan couldn't help muttering, these guys are really fateful, in history, Tao Qian gave Xuzhou San to Liu Bei's three brothers, but I didn't expect that now Xuzhou has been beaten down by himself, and he even asked Tao Qian to mix with Liu Bei's three brothers, which really made Xiao Lan thunder a lot.

Dian Wei heard this. couldn't help but open his eyes, and said in his mouth: "Lord, the strength of these three brothers is extraordinary, I once saw them fight against Lu Bu under the Tiger Prison Pass, Liu Bei didn't say it, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are real top generals." ”

"Oh?" When Xiao Lan heard this, he immediately asked undeniably: "So, if it is evil to face them, I don't know what the chance of victory is?" ”

Dian Wei said: "Four-six, four points immediately." Six points on the ground! ”

Although it was expected, Xiao Lan was still a little disappointed and listened to the commentary. It is said that one Lu two Zhao three Dian Wei, it seems that there are still some differences in the middle, although Dian Wei is brave, but his bravery lies in the ground foot battle. And fighting right away is inevitably relatively weaker.

However, what he is doing now is a rebellion after all, and it is already good luck to receive such a top general, if you still want to force it, it is really not greedy.

"Report! Handsome! General Huang Zhong defeated Huang Zu and Wen Ping in the Changsha area yesterday, Wen Ping was captured, and Huang Zu led hundreds of remnants of the army to flee. ”

"Report! Handsome! General Wei Yan had taken the six counties of Jiangdong three days earlier, and the Taiping army had all taken Yangzhou, but some people from Shanyue had rebelled against the Taiping army, and he had sent a large army to conquer. ”

"Report, Luoyang urgent! Marshal, two days ago, Cao Cao's lone army chased Dong Zhuo back from a rout, because of the matter of passing the jade seal of the country, Sun Jian led his troops to leave Luoyang, and the princes' allies were scattered. ”

"Huh?" Listening to the urgent reports of the military situation that were passed on one after another, Xiao Lan couldn't help but groan: "The princes of the Eighteenth Route are allied, Sun Jian has left, I have destroyed the Fifth Road, Cao Cao was defeated by Dong Zhuo, and most of the rest have lost their troops, this is a good opportunity to deal with them, pass on my orders!" ”

"Lu Su, Liao Hua, Ling Cao, and Mi Fang presided over Yangzhou affairs and discussed the matter of entering the army and handing over the state, Wei Yan led 100,000 troops, Chen Dengwei military and transferred to Jingzhou."

"Pass my general order, Huang Zhong, Chen Zhi, Yu Ban, and Zang Ba will gather 150,000 Yanzhou troops, Jiang Gan will be the military advisor, and Xu Sheng, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Xu He, and Geng Ling will gather the 150,000 Qingzhou army and Zhuge Jin as the military advisor, and march into Jizhou in two ways!"

"Pass my general's order, mobilize 100,000 troops in Yuzhou, Dian Wei is the general of the guard, and he will send the water pass with his commander!"

One after another marching orders were constantly issued, Xiao Lan kept calculating in his heart that he should give them a head-on attack when the alliance of princes was at its weakest, so that they would completely lose the opportunity to resist the advance of the Taiping army.

Speaking of which, this is all thanks to Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, if they hadn't confronted the coalition army of the Eighteenth Route Princes head-on, resulting in their losses and the emptiness of the rear, even if Xiao Lan had external help, it would have been impossible for him to expand the Taiping Army to such a momentum in a short period of time.

"Dashuai, someone asks to see you."

"Who?" It was already evening, Xiao Lan had just arranged for the soldiers, and suddenly heard someone asking to see him, and he was stunned for a moment, if he was under his account, there was no need to be so troublesome, everyone knew that although Xiao Lan of the Taiping Army treated the enemy fiercely, he had always been very approachable to his soldiers and people.

The herald replied: "Yingchuan Academy, Guo Jia." ”

"Oh? It's him? Hurry up, please, forget it, I'll go by myself. Hearing Guo Jia's name, Xiao Lan was overjoyed, and wanted to let people come in, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly straightened his clothes and greeted him in person.

Since he defeated the five princes, he took the time to review the students in the academy, among them, many scholars were implicated in family crimes, and according to the provisions of the Taiping Constitution, they were subjected to various punishments, and because of this, the remaining scholars were unwilling to join the Taiping army.

In contrast, there are many students from poor families who have decided to join the Taiping Army, and now they have been sent by Xiao Lan to serve everywhere as officials, but the famous people in the academy, such as Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhong, Guo Jia and others, have never expressed their position, which disappointed Xiao Lan, and had to order someone to secretly control their whereabouts.

In addition to being good at managing internal affairs, these people are all deeply versed in tactics and strategies:

Xun Yu uses soldiers, but uses a "positive"! With the law of the royal road, the army of the royal road, attacking the lawless, cutting down the ministers, watching its use of troops, there are traces to follow, but the helpless thing is that you can't crack its inaccessible offensive at all.

Guo Jia uses soldiers, but he uses a "strange!" "The way of using troops is like a wild imagination, the antelope hangs its horns, and there is no sign of attacking it unprepared, and attacking it will be saved.

Playing loyal to use soldiers, it is a "strange"! Just like its chess style, it must first hang the four corners, do not take the middle earth, and then every move seems meaningless, but after dozens of steps, it is found that those are the key, and its use of soldiers and monsters is repeated, some useless, some subtle, really headache.

Xun You, on the other hand, seems to have absorbed everyone's strengths, whether it is positive, strange, or strange, all kinds of military techniques are displayed with ease, but it may not be as brilliant as the first three, but on the whole, it is not weak at all.

Fortunately, Xiao Lan knows their ability and takes precautions, Xi Zhong and Guo Jia are all from poor families, Xun Yu, Xun Yu and the Xun family are all in Yingchuan, even if they want to go, they can't go, but, these days, they have not seen any signs of surrendering to the Taiping Army, Xiao Lan has almost given up, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to visit at this time, which surprised him.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, the marshal seems to be getting better than before, it seems that it is not only because of the defeat of the alliance of the six princes, but also that Jingzhou and Yangzhou have good news to pass on!" Seeing Xiao Lan, Guo Jia looked as usual, smiling, like a good friend, talking and laughing freely, and there was no tension and fear at all for the murderous atmosphere and solemn military appearance in Xiao Lan's army.

Xiao Lan nodded secretly, this Guo Jia, with this courage and bearing alone, is very comparable, not to mention, he has revealed many military secrets of the Taiping Army in one bite, and has already revealed his ability, which is really extraordinary.

"Hah!" With a chuckle, Xiao Lan raised his voice and said: "The Taiping Army is about to start, I want to send troops to Bishui Pass, I don't know if Feng Xiao is willing to be my army and military advisor?" ”

Guo Jia asked rhetorically: "Is there wine?" ”

Xiao Lan was slightly stunned, and laughed: "Of course there is wine, how much you want, it's enough!" ”

"Great goodness!" Guo Jia immediately leaned down and bowed: "I've seen the lord!" (To be continued.) )
