If someone else is here, they will definitely say that Guo Jia is idle and has nothing to do now, and he is not interested in fooling around.

In fact, Guo Jia also knows that his current behavior is a bit redundant, but he doesn't know why, he just doesn't feel very down-to-earth in his heart.

Together with the strategists, the potters had already deduced that the other party was taking advantage of the pass of this battle formation to send troops to attack their own camps in the surrounding areas, but Guo Jia just felt that there was a problem here.

But what exactly is the problem? Guo Jia can't figure it out for the time being.

At this time, the potter stepped into the city gate.

Guo Jia raised his head, looked at him, and said, "The prime minister didn't send troops and generals on the city tower to supervise the battle formation, why did he come in person?" ”

The potter smiled slightly: "There is nothing worth seeing over there now, the generals of the two sides have come and gone, and the battle formations laid out by Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are also evenly divided, I can't tell the winner for a while, even if the winner is divided, it is also the kind that hurts the enemy a thousand and loses eight hundred, but you don't need to worry too much, but you, don't follow me to see the enemy's situation in the city carefully, what are you doing here?" ”

Guo Jia was silent for a while, and said, "Guo always feels that something seems to be wrong here." ”

"What's wrong?"

Guo Jialiang was silent for a long time, and only said after a while: "Over the years, Guo Mou, through the information that the school government has heard for many years, I know little by little that Cao Cao is under his command, and there are also characters like Jia Xu. ”

The potter nodded and said: "We have all expected this, Shicai Tai Shi Ci, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Ji Ling and other generals stationed abroad sent people to report, saying that they have been attacked by the cavalry of the princes of Guanzhong, fortunately, the camps have already received our prompts, and they have long been ready for battle. ”

Guo Jia shook his head when he heard this, and said, "That's not right. ”

"What's wrong?"

Guo Jia raised his hand, scratched his forehead vigorously, and said: "The camp we set up outside the city has long been attacked by Cao Cao and the Sanliu coalition army not once or twice, just Wen Chou and Tai Shici have fought several times, although on the surface this plan is indeed reasonable, but if you think about it deeply, how can several camps that have been fought over countless times by both sides be set by Jia Xu as the center of gravity of the strategy?" If that's the case, either the old thing isn't that powerful, or we haven't thought of it yet. ”

"Something you didn't think of?" The potter frowned, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said: "The key to reasoning about one thing is to look at some things that we ignore, but objectively exist, if the facts are really as you said, then in this battle, what are we ignoring?" ”

"Ignore?" Guo Jia whispered, "What will we ignore? ”

The pottery merchant closed his eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly slowly spoke: "Cao Jun, Jingzhou Army, Guanzhong Army...... Where did the Yizhou soldiers go? ”

The potter's words were like thunder on the ground, which suddenly woke Guo Jia up, and the Daigo empowerment suddenly came back to his senses.

"It's broken! That old thing is really calculating! ”

Seeing that Guo Jia seemed to understand something, the potter's heart couldn't help jumping, he hurriedly stood up and said, "What's the situation?" ”

Guo Jia walked quickly to the table, pointed to Pitu and said: "Not far from the southeast thirty miles southeast of Qufu City, is Jin Qicheng, which is held between the three mountains on the border of our army, which is a key point of connection between our army and Xuzhou, which can be said to be the lifeblood of our army's rear. ”

The potter looked at Jin Qicheng on the map and said, "Even if what you say is right, but Jin Qicheng is in our rear and in the mountains, how can the Cao-Liu coalition army cross us to seize ......?"

When he said this, the potter suddenly remembered something, and he and Guo Jia, who was surprised, exchanged a look with each other, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"The Xichuan Army is good at mountain travel!"

"Bang!" The potter slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "It's dangerous, it's dangerous!" It's really dangerous! Old man Jia Xu, I'm not done with him when I look back on this matter! ”

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "Without further ado, the prime minister must make a decision quickly and send troops to support the rear, otherwise once the Yizhou army successfully crosses the mountain and captures Jin Qi, we will be completely passive in this battle." ”

Tao Shang nodded, and said: "That's right, but it doesn't matter, since we know what Jia Xu's plan is, then we don't have to be afraid, it doesn't matter if the Yizhou army is good at mountain warfare, but the Danyang elite soldiers under my command are good at this, this time I will have a good touch with Cao Cao, just yesterday Zang Ba had something to do and returned to the city, Tao led him and Tao Ji, and personally went to meet those Yizhou soldiers who are good at fighting." ”

Guo Jia was shocked when he heard this: "The prime minister personally went to war, so who should preside over here?" ”

"You!" The potter stretched out his hand and pointed at Guo Jia: "Everything here will be handed over to you to preside, I will let Lu Su and Chen Deng assist you, besides, this is not the center of gravity of the enemy army, they are just using this place to delay time...... In this case, let's return the favor with the other way, and we will also use this place to contain the enemy army. ”

"Give back the ...... of the other person" Guo Jia muttered word by word for a while, before he said: "I can't imagine that such a golden sentence will come from your mouth, it seems that Guo still doesn't know you well enough." ”

The potter smiled slightly: "The people in this world who really understand me have not yet been born...... But if the enemy makes up his mind to attack Jin Qicheng, then it is far from enough to rely on this day's time, if there is no accident, after today, Cao Cao will definitely let Pang Tong continue to fight with us tomorrow, if he really does this, how to answer, you know it in your heart, right? ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Prime Minister don't worry, Guo can handle such a trivial matter." ”

"Don't let them see the flaws."

"It's natural."

After instructing Guo Jia to get down to business, he saw Tao Ji and Zang Ba come to the front of the pottery merchant: "I've seen the prime minister." ”

"Tao Ji, immediately prepare the Danyang elite soldiers under your command, and prepare the fast horse, let's return to Jin Qi City first, and then enter the mountain from Jin Qi to fight a mountain battle, this time, it is time for your Danyang soldiers to show their strength...... Zang Ba, you turn around and greet Sun Guan, and go with me, you used to be with the mountains, and this time you need to make meritorious contributions. ”

Tao Ji never questioned the potter's orders, and went to prepare without saying a word.

Zang Ba looked a little puzzled: "Prime Minister, what happened?" ”

The potter explained it to him succinctly.

After hearing this, Zang Ba stuck out his tongue in surprise: "I didn't expect that the Cao Liu coalition army was so insidious, and even made such a move, it's really a shame that they came up with it." ”

Guo Jia said on the side: "General Zang, Cao Cao may not trust the Xichuan soldiers so much, if the Sichuan army really attacks Jin Qicheng from the mountain road, with Cao Cao's character, I think he will definitely send a guide to monitor the army, in this mountain battle, who do you think Cao Cao will send?" ”

Zang Ba pondered carefully for a while, and suddenly an angry expression appeared on his face: "You mean Chang Xuan?" ”
