At the end of the first year of Jiankang, that is, at the beginning of the second year of Jiankang, after the prime minister Taoshang issued a denunciation document in Pengcheng, he personally ordered 100,000 elite soldiers and prepared to go north to Qingzhou and carry out the Northern Expedition to recover Hebei.

In fact, according to common sense, there is not much time left before the end of the year, and it is not the right time to send troops at the end of the year.

However, although there is a certain regularity in war, there is no exactly the same situation in each war, and the situation is constantly changing with the changes of people.

The risk is also like gambling, winning can be a lot of money, and if you lose, you can only wear briefs and run naked on the street.

As in this situation, it is imperative to send troops...... In fact, the potter could not have sent troops, but after a few years, the situation became passive, and he was himself.

The 100,000 elite soldiers of the Potter's Northern Expedition this time are the most elite elite soldiers and strong generals he has accumulated bit by bit in the past eight years.

The potter believed that his Jinling army was the best and most powerful army in the world.

With their support, he will definitely achieve the final victory in this Northern Expedition.

However, the soldiers under the command of the potters were mostly southerners.

Now that it is almost the end of the year, it is cold in the north, and if Qingzhou has not been taken as a basis by then, it is very likely that Yuan Shao or Cao Cao's soldiers will take the opportunity to counterattack, which must be guarded against.

Therefore, on this expedition, the potter also made a detailed plan for himself.

The first step of the plan is to take a base in Hebei and let the three armies celebrate the New Year there.

The potters called Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others who accompanied the army and unfolded the map in front of them.

"Let's talk about it, what do you think about this trip to Hebei! How should this battle be fought? Speak your mind freely and without scruples at all. ”

Guo Jia rubbed his nose with his hand, but he didn't squeak.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi looked at each other for a while, but they didn't speak.

After a long silence, it was up to the potter to break the deadlock.

"That...... We have crossed the river with 100,000 heroes this time, don't you have any opinions that you want to express? Even if you sing a song to express your passionate feelings, you don't have to hold it back. ”

When it comes to this, I can't say anything more.

Guo Jia took the lead and said: "Yuan Shao's defense against Xuzhou is very deep, Qingzhou was heavily defended by Yuan Shao, whether it is the plain, Beihai, or Nanpi, all of them are deep ditches and high fences, and they are all in battle, and all counties and cities are becoming horns. ”

The potter raised his eyebrows: "Then why did you tell me to send troops quickly?" ”

Guo Jia sighed and said: "The admonition to send troops is because of the situation, as for how this soldier is out and how to fight, I don't count, you are the main general...... You've got to decide! ”

The potter really wanted to slap the prodigal son to death on the wall.

Not at all responsible goods.

He turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

When it comes to the art of war, these two are not as good as Guo Jia...... But what if they have a way?

Sima Yi looked at the potter and looked at him, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Teacher, don't look at me, I can't decide such a big thing...... I'm just a kid. ”

The potter looked at him with a smile: "Now you know how to pretend to be tender?" Last month, under my name, when you went to the Pengcheng Shi clan Cheng family to meet the daughters of other people's families, you were quite mature. ”

Sima Yi's face turned red when he heard this.

How did the teacher even know about this......

Zhuge Liang held the white feather fan, and carefully looked at the pitu for a long time, which had the layout of Yuan Jun in Qingzhou marked by Guo Jia.

Yuan Shao did attach great importance to the pottery merchants, and he arranged many defenders in Qingzhou, and also controlled all the main roads and set up many camps.

But it is no wonder that if Cao Cao and the pottery merchants attack Hebei in two ways, no matter how great Yuan Shao's ability is, he can only scruple about one side, now Cao Cao has split the Black Mountain Army, the morale is flourishing, and the edge is directed at Liyang, his goal is Yuan Shao's base camp, Yuan Shao can not help but deal with Cao Cao in person, in this case, he can only use heavy troops to defend the pottery merchants.

Zhuge Liang looked at it carefully for a long time, and said: "Teacher, Yuan Shao arranged the arrangement like this, let's attack city by city, county by county, even if the situation is smooth, I am afraid that we will not be able to take the important land of Qingzhou without half a year......

The potter knew that Zhuge Liang was telling the truth, and he also knew that this situation had to be opened at the moment, but he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of any good way.

I was counting on Guo Jia and the others to open another window for themselves, but unfortunately they couldn't.

"Half a year will definitely not work, and there will be a big cold in another three months, if there is no stable base area, the three armies will suffer from the severe cold at that time, if Yuan Shao takes advantage of the gap to make a counterattack, I am afraid that my 100,000 soldiers and horses will be completely swallowed by him."

Guo Jia is also a rare clueless.

People who know him on weekdays never imagined that there was something in the world that could be difficult for him.

"Alas, it's not that you don't send troops, but what about sending troops...... I'm afraid that it will not be able to conquer for a while, and its strength will be wasted...... Yuan Shao arranged so many defenders on the Qingzhou front, but the rear was bound to be empty in such a defensive position...... Alas, if only we could fly through Yuan Jun's barrier. Guo Jia stared at Pitu and muttered to himself.

"Fly over? Fly over......" The potter was lit up by Guo Jia's words, he touched his chin and thought carefully for a long time, and suddenly clapped his hands and said: "This is a good idea, let's fly over!" ”

"Huh?" Guo Jia and the others were all stunned.

Sima Yi looked at the potter in surprise, and secretly wondered if the teacher should be crazy by Yuan Shao's defensive lineup, right?

Guo Jia was said by the potter, and he seemed to have some ideas in his mind, but he couldn't grasp the point vaguely.

"Let's ...... How to fly over? Guo Jia couldn't figure it out, so he simply asked the potter.

"Just fly over! Fly, fly, fly~" The potter smiled and pointed to the northeast with his hand on the pitto, pointing to the northeast without stopping......

"Don't fly." Guo Jia wiped his sweat and said, "You are going to fly to the sea, and when the time comes, if you don't fly well, all the officers and soldiers of the three armies will have to fall into the sea and drown to feed the fish......

Speaking of this, Guo Jia was suddenly startled and suddenly came back to his senses.

"The prime minister means that he wants to go by sea?"

The potter nodded and said, "When it comes to the number of sailors and warships, when it comes to the land south of the Yangtze River today, it is said that it is the second, who dares to call it the first?" In the past, we were driving on the river, but this time we divided a part of the elite soldiers and horses to take the sea route from the port along the coast of Xuzhou to transport some of the elite soldiers and horses to Donglai County! ”

Sima Yi suddenly realized: "Donglai County is a coastal place, and it does not border with us inland, as long as Yuan Shao arranges heavy troops in Beihai County and Jiaodong County, he will block the dry road from Xuzhou to Donglai County, but if our army divides its troops and takes the waterway, detours to Donglai County to attack Beihai, and attacks from both sides, it will definitely be able to break this stalemate!" ”

Tao Shang lightly pointed his finger at Pitu and said: "That's the reason, although this method is a little risky, but it is also within the tolerance of our army, and after all, taking the waterway is also the strength of our army, but this crossing the sea is still a challenge for my navy after all...... Caution is required. ”

Speaking of this, the pottery merchant looked at Guo Jia and said, "I will hand over the heavy responsibility of leading the troops across the sea to Brother Feng Xiao, let's agree on the time and place, and then attack the Yuan army of Beihai County on both sides and open a passage." ”

Guo Jia almost fainted when he heard it.

"Prime Minister, have you forgotten? I almost threw up on my first boat ride on the Yangtze River! If you let me go into the sea, won't Guo vomit out all his intestines? ”

Spit the intestines out of your mouth?

The potter imagined it for a moment, and then felt a chill all over his body.

It's disgusting.

"Except for you, I really don't feel at ease when someone else receives this task...... Don't worry, Tao doesn't treat you badly, when this cross-sea battle is over, I will play the Son of Heaven and ask the Son of Heaven to seal the marquis for you Guo Jia, how about it? ”

Guo Jia pursed his lips when he heard this,

The Son of Heaven is staying at your house, and you are still pretending to play a fart!

However, Feng Hou is still quite angry with Guo Jia.

He smiled and said, "What is the prime minister going to ask the Son of Heaven to entitle Guo to a certain marquis?" ”

Tao Shang pondered for a moment and said: "Our Han Dynasty had the late King of Changyi, and the abolished emperor Liu He was sealed as the Marquis of Haidu, since you were dizzy as soon as you arrived at sea, then Tao Mou will seal you as a Marquis of Haidi." ”

Guo Jia's smile suddenly stiffened.

Guo Jia and Sima Yi were snickering on the side, almost holding their breath.

"Prime Minister, don't take you to be so bad, people's sea is the name of the county! What kind of realm is this halo of yours? Is it a pavilion marquis, a township marquis, or a county marquis? ”

The potter thought seriously for a long time, and said: "Our Han has a pavilion for ten miles, and a post for five miles, but now there are too many wars and chaos, and there are many meritorious people...... I think I have to redraw a law when I look back, and continue to refine the pavilion downward, dividing it into street offices, communities and so on...... You should be an example and be the first community Hou of my Han. ”

Guo Jia's eyes straightened when he heard this.

What is...... Community?
