Gourds
Two armies were stationed in this place with a long history.
Days of rain have made the road muddy.
"It's a nice day." Guo Tu smiled and said to Wen Chou on the side.
"Good weather?" Wen Chou's brows furrowed, "It's raining continuously, and even marching has become extremely difficult. ”
"Good weather, of course." Guo Tu bent down, picked up the clod of soil on the ground, and pinched it in his hand, "Storm, look." The soft soil of the gourd became more muddy than ordinary soil under the heavy rain, and it was not conducive to the march of the army, and it was a great problem for the cavalry to move. ”
Seeing this, Wen Chou stepped on the dirt under his feet hard, and his boots even sank a little.
And so it was. However, the march on both sides was more difficult, so what kind of good weather was this? ”
"Tyranny, you should remember the iron armor guard of Fengxiao."
"Ah, it's the five-hundred-strong Iron Guard led by this guy Dian Wei."
"Yes, during the Battle of Xuzhou, this ironclad guard was really powerful. The performance of Xuzhou in the first battle can be called terrifying. This cavalry is also a great threat to us. The lord also tried to find someone to imitate it, but this thing is too expensive and requires too much physical fitness from soldiers. Guo Tu sighed.
Cao Jun took the route of elite soldiers, and did his best in the food, training, and salary of the soldiers, and cultivated Cao Jun's strong body, and the compensation and treatment received by the families of the soldiers after the death of the soldiers in the war were also staggering, but the most commendable thing was the equipment of the Cao Army.
Cao Jun's weapons and armor were almost superior to Yuan's in quality, and almost crushed compared to other princes. Cao Jun's Mo knife, Yanling knife, as well as horse iron, stirrups, Gaoqiao saddle, etc., the invention of various weapons and equipment is even more refreshing. Some are easy to imitate, but the production methods of many equipment are top secrets, such as ace weapons such as Modao, there are countless Mingjingwei day and night inspections, whether it is the Xuchang Workshop or the Modao Army Barracks, the secret agents of the major princes cannot find out the production method.
"But "Guo Tu turned around" such a muddy land, even the infantry army is difficult to march, let alone the cavalry? Not to mention such a heavy cavalry army! ”
Wen Chou's eyes lit up: "That's right! Moreover, with such terrain and such weather, Guo Jia can't use any tricks, almost purely competing with the combat effectiveness of the two armies. Without this heavily armored cavalry, Cao's army was like losing its sharp teeth. ”
"In addition, I have sent the secret agents of the building to investigate the situation of the gourd embankment, and it is indeed well managed by the flood, and it is extremely strong. I asked them to probe day and night near the gourd embankment to see if anyone had entered the embankment, in case Cao Jun really died with us. ”
Guo Tu secretly gritted his teeth, he wanted to defeat Guo Jia too much.
Since he accidentally learned that Guo Jia is also a child of the Guo family, Guo Tu has often corresponded with Guo Jia. Although Guo Jia is only a side branch and not a direct branch like him, his talent far surpasses that of Guo Tu, who is a direct branch of his lineage. is also a child of the Guo family, Guo Tu is naturally happy to see the children of the same clan perform outstandingly, even if it surpasses himself. He wasn't jealous of that at all, after all, the prosperity of the clan was the most important thing.
But!
Guo Jia did not have the slightest sense of belonging to the Guo family, and showed indifference to the Guo family. In fact, Guo Tu also understands that Guo Jia has lost his parents since he was a child, and he has also lost the care of the Guo family for his clansmen, and he is independent and rehabilitated, and even relies on storytelling to make a living. If it weren't for the funding of Guo Jia's gentlemen Li Bo and Xun Yu in Yingchuan Academy, Guo Jia might have starved to death on the streets, let alone learned this skill.
Guo Tu has also tried many times to persuade Guo Jia to change his attitude towards the Guo family, but Guo Jia always forcibly pulls away from the topic and only talks about personal relationships. This makes people like Guo Tu who are dedicated to the clan a little dissatisfied in their hearts, after all, it is the clan that gave you the bloodline anyway, and you are also surnamed Guo no matter what, Guo of the Yingchuan Guo clan!
Therefore, he reprimanded Guo Jia, and Guo Jia didn't care about it. To be honest, the ancients' obsession with the clan is indeed not comparable to modern people, and Guo Jia also understands Guo Tu's thoughts, but he doesn't dare to agree with Guo Tu's thoughts.
So, Guo Jia proposed that one day, Guo Tu surpasses him, or can defeat himself, then he will admit that he is the son of the Yingchuan Guo clan, and honestly accept the arrangement of Guo Tu, the current patriarch of the Yingchuan Guo clan.
Guo Tu looked at Cao Jun's military camp from afar, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes were full of fighting intent.
————————————————————————————————————
"Ahh Guo Jia rubbed his nose, "Really, who is thinking about me?" ”
Guo Jia looked at Wang Jiran, who was wearing a black close-fitting battle armor beside him, and smiled, "Could it be that someone is right next to me, and I can't help but think about me in my heart?" ”
"Stinky and shameless." Wang Jiran muttered, expressing her dissatisfaction with someone's shameless behavior.
Guo Jia got up from the bed and moved his muscles, "However, this kind of weather is really troublesome, and the iron guards are not easy to play." If you count the weight of the war horse, it is estimated that the ironclad guard will fall into the mud pit and become a live target for the place before he can rush out. Junming, don't you say? ”
Dian Wei replied expressionlessly, "The ironclad guard without a war horse is the same as the ironclad guard, and he looks down on him the same!" ”
"Hahaha! That's right. Guo Jia laughed, "However, that General Di seemed to be so rainy back then." Guo Jia's voice behind the sentence was extremely soft, and neither Dian Wei nor Wang Jiran heard it.
Cao Hong, who was sitting in the coach's seat, was a little impatient, "Sir, you said that you have a plan to win, but you have never said that you have any plans, how can I rest assured." Moreover, in this kind of weather, I can't think of any other strategy other than to break the gourd embankment. ”
Guo Jia glanced at Cao Hong and shrugged his shoulders, "If you want to get it, how dare Guo Gongze, this guy let Wen Chou accept my war letter?" ”
In an instant, Guo Jia's eyes became extremely sharp, "Don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks." ”
"Report!"
A scout broke into the tent in the rain, holding a box whose contents tinkled all the time.
"Sir, what you asked for has been delivered!"
"Oh! It's hard work, let's go down and drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm up. ”
"No!"
Guo Jia took the box, and the joy in his eyes was even greater, "Everything is ready!" Defeat the enemy only now! ”
Dian Wei and Wang Jiran stared curiously at the box in Guo Jia's hand, but Cao Hong frowned, with his love and familiarity with money, he could hear that it should be copper coins inside, and it was about a hundred, but he couldn't guess what impact a hundred copper coins could have on the battle situation.
Guo Jia opened the wooden box, there were indeed a hundred copper coins inside, looking at the puzzled eyes of the three people, Guo Jia grinned, "Don't worry." ”
"Come on, drums! Gather at the military academy! Guo Jia snapped, and the expression on his face was full of confidence.
Knock-knock!
The rapid sound of war drums sounded over the Cao Jun barracks, and the silent barracks suddenly woke up and boiled instantly.
The soldiers of Cao Jun quickly took their weapons, sorted out the armor on their bodies, and immediately went to the school field. Although everyone stood in the rain, they did not complain. Because Cao Hong, Guo Jia, Dian Wei and even the female guard next to Guo Jia were standing in the rain, were they not even as good as women? What's more, what is a little rain compared to training?
Guo Jia stood on the handsome platform, and his originally closed eyes opened, "Gentlemen, today we are going to fight with Yuan Jun, and the opponents are Wen Chou, one of the two heroes of Hebei, and Guo Tu, who is known for his resourcefulness!" The enemy is twice as strong as me, and you are afraid? ”
"Don't be afraid!"
"Don't be afraid!"
"But I'm afraid!"
Cao Jun below had a lot of discussions after hearing this, and Cao Hong, Dian Wei and Wang Jiran also didn't understand what Guo Jia wanted to do, and openly admitted his fear, and Guo Jia didn't seem to want to be afraid. To be honest, there is still a little bit of fear in the hearts of these soldiers, but they don't admit it verbally.
"What I am afraid of is that once this battle is defeated, our army will be divided by Yuan's army and broken by each one. You may think that I, Guo Fengxiao, have not tasted defeat when I came out, but I am also a human being, and I will be afraid. With such terrain and weather, our ironclad guards have lost the effect of heavy cavalry, and I can't use any strategies. ”
"So, I, Guo Fengxiao, am here, divining the possibility of our army's victory this time to the heavens!"
Guo Jia took out the hundred copper coins in the wooden box in his hand, "Please take thirty steps back!" I have a hundred copper coins in my hand, and I will scatter them all on the ground later, and if all the hundred copper coins are written on one side up, then our army will surely win, and if there is a copper coin with the wordless side facing up, it will show that our army will be defeated! However, this secret method was cast by me using the technique of Qimen Dunjia, and after scattering the copper coin, you must not move a single bit! ”
Cao Hong subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop Guo Jia's actions, but out of trust, he still forcibly resisted that impulse, he believed that Guo Jia must have some plan.
The generals in the audience talked a lot, but they still took thirty steps back neatly, giving Guo Jia enough space to scatter copper coins.
Guo Jia smiled faintly, this strategy, speaking of which, was not invented by him, but the current self was indeed born almost nine hundred years earlier than the main master.
That General Di Qing once used a hundred copper coins to boost the morale of the army under his command. Therefore, Guo Jia's purpose is the same!
Ding Ding Ding Ding!
Guo Jia casually turned over the wooden box and scattered the copper coins in it, and everyone's hearts jumped with these copper coins that fell to the ground.
Finally, all the copper coins landed.
Guo Jia asked the generals in the audience with a serious face, "Gentlemen, can you see the result for me?" ”
The soldiers of the Cao Army standing in front looked at the copper coins on the ground.
Hiss!
Although they were desperately looking for a copper coin that was not written face up!
But! It seems, really, all! A hundred copper coins are all written on one side up!
"Lord Sacrificial Wine! A hundred copper coins! A hundred copper coins, all with the word side up! Heaven protect our army! ”
Hearing this, Guo Jia pretended to look at the copper coin below for a while, and then smiled with relief, "It seems to be." If you don't believe it, you can come forward to check, but remember not to move these copper coins! ”
The soldiers of Cao Jun in the back row asked to come forward to check, the purpose was naturally not to question Guo Jia, but they also wanted to see such a "miracle"! Even Cao Hong, Dian Wei and Wang Jiran all walked off the stage curiously to check on those copper coins, not to mention them.
However, these copper coins are indeed all written on one side up, a hundred, one is not less!
Wang Jiran's beautiful eyes looked at the man who was standing on the handsome platform, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was full of confidence, as if everything was expected by him.
How, exactly?
Guo Jia saw that everyone had already checked it, so he ordered the sergeant to nail all these copper coins to the ground, but he was never allowed to move a single inch when nailing, otherwise he would be beheaded for the crime of treason!
Guo Jia looked at the hundred copper coins nailed to the ground, looked at the excited soldiers of the Cao Army below, and said loudly, "All the soldiers!" You can see these 100 copper coins! ”
"I see it clearly!"
"Heaven is telling us that our army will win this battle! Are you still afraid? ”
"Don't be afraid!"
"With the blessing of the gods, I am not afraid! Cao's army will win! ”
"Cao's army will win!"
"Cao's army will win!"
"Cao's army will win!"
"All the army, attack!"
"Roar!"
The morale of the soldiers of the Cao Army at this time has reached a peak, and their eyes are full of war intent!
In the battle to win, they are just going to reap the merits of the war!
Speaking of which, superstition is the tragedy of our time, and it is easy to be used and instigated by people to influence many things. The ancients called the emperor, and there must be auspicious signs. Locusts or droughts and floods are caused by mistakes and warnings from above, as are natural disasters such as earthquakes and mudslides. However, superstitious psychology is sometimes used to boost morale.
The reason why the husband will fight is also the soldier; The reason why soldiers fight, angry! If you have the will to win, be bold and good at fighting, you will not be invincible, and if you have a high-spirited spirit and perseverance, you will not be convinced.
