Liu Xie and Cao Cao, on their side, after destroying the Basilica Palace, continued to move forward with their army, and they were now eighty miles away from the capital of Bo Tiao Vesudeva!

On the other side, Tutuhar's main army also pressed outside the city of Doken!

The pale-faced Guo Jia stood at the head of the city, looking at the enemy troops on all sides, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the generals who defended the city under Liu were also standing here.

Zhang He stepped forward and said, "Strategist, as you expected, the Guishan army is coming, but they are coming a little fast!" ”

"It's not a little, it's very fast!"

Yu Ban said, putting his hand on the battlements of the city wall, his eyes were full of worry: "I just calculated, they have seventy or eighty thousand people, and now we still have about fifty thousand troops, this battle is not easy to fight." ”

"Wen Ze, why do you talk like that?" Cao Ren frowned: "The difference between us and the enemy army is not very big, and although they are in the army, they are really not in a hurry to attack, I think they were scared by us before, there is nothing to worry about." ”

"I'm not worried." Yu Ban shook his head, pointed to the flickering fire on the mountain in the distance, and sighed: "Zixiao, you see, all the places where you can start a team at the moment are occupied by that group of bastards, and if our army wants to attack at that time, you don't even have a place to carry out." ”

"Wen Ze, this kind of thing. Of course, it's the military advisor's consideration, why are you in a hurry? While speaking, Li Dian walked slowly and patted Yu Ban's back with a smile: "There is a military advisor, what are you worried about?" ”

"I ...... Forget it, I won't talk about it, right? Yu Ban pouted and retreated, and at this time, everyone's eyes stayed on Guo Jia.

The expectant gaze of everyone made Guo Jia shake his head, and his originally pale face was even more bloodless: "Seriously, I didn't expect them to occupy all the highlands and plains at once, but from this posture...... Ahem...... They should not be ready to attack. ”

"Oh?"

Zhang He frowned and came to his side: "Military advisor, what do you mean, they plan to besiege the city and not fight?" "After all, compared to others, he has only been in Cao Cao's camp for a short time, so when he encounters this kind of thing, he likes to show himself more, although Cao Gong is not bad to himself, but the more you behave, the more people trust you?

"Not necessarily."

Guo Jia shook his head, pursed his lips and looked into the distance with deep eyes: "I estimate that they will not attack in a short time, before you and Wen Ze defeated their front army, I believe this has indeed affected them." Therefore, according to common sense, they should choose to camp here for a period of time, consume our food and morale, and send people to constantly provoke them halfway, and reduce our strength through this way of attacking. ”

"If that's the case, are we going to delay?" Zhang He did not agree with this, after all, he had the experience of being surrounded, and in that case, the party that was basically trapped ended up rushing at all costs, with too many casualties and too many losses.

Guo Jia took a deep breath and didn't answer him, but turned to Cao Ren and asked, "Zixiao, how much military rations are there in the city right now?" ”

"That's enough to last three months." Cao Ren said, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But the military advisor, they are only surrounding three sides of Doken City at the moment, and there is no garrison in our rear. ”

"Oh?"

In fact, Guo Jia knew about this situation, and he could also see that Guishuang was imitating his own tactics and encircling three and letting one go, but he didn't expect that Guishuang was really unprepared at the entrance of the city behind him!

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Guo Jia said, slowly getting up, Cao Zhang hurriedly helped him up, but was pushed away by Guo Jia: "Ziwen, you remember, from now on, you are no longer my guard, don't show that you care about me wherever you go." The Great War is imminent, and the real crisis is about to arise, even though all of you are generals. But what the soldiers really value is still me, so from now on, let them all feel that I am healthy and that my body is fully recovered. It's the same with you, you are not allowed to reveal any of my illness to the outside world, you know? ”

"The last general obeys!"

Once Guo Jia becomes serious, his aura is enough to shock everyone.

In this way, he came to the south gate slowly and firmly, looking at the spacious and quiet passage outside the gate, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook a smile: "God help me, the Guishan people follow suit and let go of this opening, this battle, my Han will win!" ”

"Oh?"

As soon as he heard this, everyone immediately became interested, and everyone looked at him closely, waiting for his next order.

Holding the head of the city, Guo Jia smiled more and more coldly: "Actually, I didn't say it just now." In fact, what worries me the most is the South Gate, which is constantly the rear of our army and is also an important food route for our army. They let this go, and I don't have to worry about it! ”

As he spoke, Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he made up his mind: "Listen to orders!" ”

"The last general!"

"Jun Yi, give you 5,000 men and horses, ride a bow and choose by yourself, immediately carry a month's dry food after the transfer of troops, go out of the south gate to distribute and station, and go down the sentry along the way, be sure to ensure that this road is smooth and safe."

"The last general obeys!" Zhang He immediately ordered his troops to go.

"General Mancheng."

"The last general!" Hearing this, Li Dian stepped forward.

Guo Jia leaned back: "I order you to lead five thousand people, ride a bow and choose by yourself, carry half a moon of grain and grass, go out of the north gate, and move to the rear of the valley on the east side of our army." Be sure to seal the valley, and then take the fire horn as the order, but when you see the fire order, you will immediately lead the army to kill, remember, the drum and trumpet are loud, the men and horses are few, bluff, and you must not fight to the death with the enemy, but in my city, fire is raised on all sides, then immediately return to the division! ”

"The last general obeys!"

Li Dian retreated, Guo Jia pointed out the ban and Cao Hong again: "You two, each lead 10,000 people, more horses and less bows, heavy armor and foot soldiers, immediately go out of the city from the west and south gates, camp thirty miles before the enemy's formation, day and night guard, the enemy advances and I retreat, retreat ten miles before counterattacking, and retreat, and I don't advance, return to the village at thirty miles." ”

"Yes!"

On all sides of Duoken City, Guo Jia made arrangements, and then he turned his gaze to Cao Zhang: "Ziwen, you take Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao, bring 15,000 troops, and send troops with Zilian, and provoke the enemy from the south entrance, as long as they send troops, you will return to the division, and then go out of the west gate, and repeat the cycle, but remember, don't provoke the enemy army on the east side, understand?" ”

"No!"

Cao Zhang responded, but asked: "Strategist, in this way, we just challenge and don't fight?" ”

Guo Jia nodded, and smiled meaningfully: "If they can catch up with you, of course you have to fight, but Ziwen, you remember, if you are caught up, even if you kill the enemy, you can't take credit, understand?" ”

"This!"

"Huh?"

"Yes!"

Although Cao Zhang was reluctant, at this time he had no choice but to respond to orders.

When everyone went to prepare, Guo Jia pulled Cao Ren aside: "Zixiao, I believe you can see that what I have set is a plan to exhaust the army, this plan is a double-edged plan, both the enemy and I are tired, the only advantage is our city, and the military fortress on both sides, but this is not a plan to break the enemy, but the generals are fierce, I can't tell the way to break the enemy, you listen well." ”

When Cao Ren heard this, he bowed his head solemnly: "Please ask the military advisor to command." ”

"From now on, give you 18,000 people, Li Tong and Du Ji will also be transferred to you, you will take the soldiers and horses to guard the east gate, I believe that as long as Li Dian attacks a few times, the Guishan people will attack my east gate, and then you will open the city and fight with it, and then Cao Zhang and Li Dian will help you, remember, this time is not a victory, but a defeat and annihilation. Only if you open the exit of the East Gate, can our army win! ”
