Chapter 177: The Battle of the Gourd

The Wenchou army had just started, and Guo Jia and Cao Hong were also ready to march out.

As soon as Guo Jia walked into his camp, he was greeted by a lake-blue figure.

Guo Jia smiled softly, "It's so beautiful." ”

The simple two words made the owner of this figure blush, and he turned his head and didn't dare to look at Guo Jia. ”

Any woman likes to hear others praise her beauty, even if she is cold, but they don't show it. Guo Jia saw Wang Jiran's red face, and his heart was also happy.

"Well, are you going to war?" Wang Jiran clasped her hands and asked hesitantly.

"Hmm. The Wenchou army is coming, and if you just stay in this Puyang City, I am afraid it will be difficult for a long time. So I have to go out and defeat Wen Chou in one battle! Guo Jia said, and unconsciously began to calculate what loopholes there were in his strategy.

Wang Jiran seemed to want to say something, but he didn't speak for a long time, and Guo Jia was thinking about it, and both of them remained silent.

Finally, Wang Jiran took a deep breath and seemed to muster up courage.

"I, I think, go to war with you."

Guo Jia was thinking about whether there was a loophole in his plan, but he was suddenly shocked by the girl's words, and looked at the woman in front of him with wide eyes. Wang Jiran didn't care about anything when he said it, and boldly looked at Guo Jia.

"It's dangerous to go to the battlefield, not that you can be safe and sound if you are skilled in martial arts. Even Dian Wei has the possibility of being killed by a stray arrow, not to mention that not only are your martial arts not as good as Dian Wei, but your injuries are not complete. ”

"Even if I don't get better, I have second-rate mid-term combat power, and it's more than enough to protect you! At least help you get rid of a few arrows, and you'll be fine! ”

"No! Your martial arts are used to fight alone, not on the battlefield, and they are not the same at all. And with Dian Wei close to protect me, how could I be hurt? ”

"Really? Then he won't go to the battlefield and rush to kill? You won't get hurt? Then when the Jieqiao was hit by a stray arrow in the left rib in the first battle, and Nanwuyang was hit by a stray arrow in the left rib in the first battle, and in these two battles, Dian Wei was by your side, wasn't it? ”

The girl's words not only made Guo Jia speechless, but also embarrassed Dian Wei outside the tent.

(Guo Jia: Junming, get away, who told you to eavesdrop here?)

Dian Wei: Sir, I really didn't eavesdrop! I'm here to keep you safe!

Guo Jia:! When Lao Tzu gets married in the future, on the wedding night, do you also have to "protect" me outside the door!

Dian Wei: That's natural!

Guo Jia: Get out! )

Looking at those heroic eyes with a bay of autumn water, these bright eyes tugged at Guo Jia's heartstrings, and there was a trace of stubbornness and firmness in his eyes.

"That's it, but you must not leave me twenty paces away, or I will immediately let Dian Wei knock you out and lock you in the big tent."

When Wang Jiran heard this, she smiled, her eyes turned into a crescent moon, and she had the appearance of captivating the city and the country. Guo Jia felt as if his heart was about to melt, and couldn't help but chant.

"A bay crescent moon cuts autumn water,"

"A few glasses of drunkenness."

"Allure smiles and flowers are gorgeous,"

"It's like a cold plum in the snow."

Guo Jia slowly hugged the beautiful woman in front of him into his arms, Wang Jiran only struggled symbolically twice, then gave up, and obediently pillowed his head on Guo Jia's chest, as quiet as a kitten. Guo Jia looked down at the beauty in his arms, his eyes stayed on the beauty's flawless delicate cheeks, the white skin was like a blow bomb that could be broken, with a little healthy and moving ruddy, with a soft smile, Guo Jia's worry about the battle situation disappeared in an instant because of the beauty's smile.

Although the two have never confessed their inner emotions to each other, they didn't care about these and expressed their hearts to each other with their own actions.

The gourd, also known as the gourd, is in the southwest of Puyang City.

Gourds have a long history. In the third year of Emperor Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty (132 B.C.), the Yellow River burst its embankment, and the southeast area was affected by disasters year after year. Governance for more than 20 years has not been effective, to the second year of Yuan Feng (109 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent tens of thousands, negative salary to fill the mouth, in the gourd to build a gourd weir.

More than 20 years after the Yellow River burst its embankment from the mouth of the gourd, the downstream area of the lower reaches of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (109 BC) continued to be waterlogged, and there was no harvest for many years, especially in the land of Liang and Chu. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to Mount Tai to inspect the mountains and rivers after sealing the Zen, the second year of the drought, ordered Jiren, Guo Chang to send tens of thousands of soldiers to block the gourd break, to prevent waterlogging, the Son of Heaven from the Wanlisha Temple after praying to God, on the way back to the Yellow River break, sink the white horse, Yubi in the river to pay tribute to the river god, ordered the ministers and retinue officials from the rank of general below, are burdened with firewood, fill the break. Since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the emperor came to the scene to control the Yellow River, which was also the first time.

Today's gourd, under Cao Cao's governance, is not so prone to flooding.

A year and a half ago, Liu Yan, who was transferred by Cao Cao to Dongjun to serve as a taishou, found that the gourd mouth was too narrow to pass through the flood season flood. He also found that the Yellow River was silted up and the flow of water was not smooth. So he established a policy that was completely opposite to the "blocking" used by the ancients to control water - "sparse". This is also Guo Jia's suggestion, it is better to block than to sparse, this is the best way for Guo Jia to hear about the intellectual flood in later generations, and the same is true for Dayu to control the water. Although he is not a professional water controlr, he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run, and the information network of later generations has given Guo Jia the opportunity to understand these miscellaneous knowledge. The way to do this is to dredge the river and widen the mouth of the gorge so that the flood water can pass through more quickly. Guo Jia according to Dayu "water control must be water-oriented, water-based will go down, and lead it into the sea." The high place will be chiseled, and the low place will be channeled", and the water problem of the gourd has been successfully controlled.

Guo Jia sent a letter of war to Wen Chou, and the two sides agreed to fight in the gourd. Today's gourd is an open plain, which is extremely suitable for large armies to fight, and there is no need to set up an ambush, and there is no need to worry about the gourd embankment on the side of the gourd bursting. After all, once the embankment breaks, people on both sides will basically confess here, and no one will be so ruthless that they will die together. It is precisely because of this terrain that Wen Chou dares to fight with Guo Jia with confidence. In this kind of terrain, many strategies cannot be used, and it is almost purely a competition for the combat effectiveness and morale of the soldiers under his command.

Wen Chou had enough confidence in the combat effectiveness of the army under his command, and the only demoralized team was completely restored under Guo Tu's eleven smash law, and the combat effectiveness was even higher than before. Even if the bravery of Cao Jun's soldiers is recognized as the first in the world, Wen Chou is confident to fight with it!
