"Report! News came from Chengdu that Liu Yan organized an army of 80,000 to prepare to meet our army in front of Chengdu City! ”

The herald hurried in.

"What?" Huang Zhong's tone sank: "Isn't there only 50,000 troops in Chengdu?" Where did the eighty thousand come from? ”

Guo Jia's eyes flashed: "Tell me in detail!" ”

"General and military advisor, a few days ago, Liu Yan didn't know how to persuade the Yizhou family, so that they provided a total of about 50,000 private soldiers, and now Chengdu has a total of more than 100,000 troops." The herald only knew the roughly, and said everything he could say.

"Will Liu Yan hold on inside the city or will he lead the 80,000 troops outside the city?" Guo Jia also knew that asking the others was probably in vain, so he said directly.

"The subordinates did not see Liu Yan's imperial flag appear in the opposing army, Liu Yan should be in the city." The herald said uncertainly.

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth hooked up a smile, sure enough.

"Report! Outside the camp, a messenger who claimed to be from the Yizhou family came to ask for a meeting. ”

Another herald hurried into the camp.

"Quick..."Huang Zhong was about to ask the herald to bring someone over to inquire about the situation, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Guo Jia.

"Kill it! This is a spy sent by Liu Yan to confuse our army. Guo Jiadao.

"But..."The herald glanced at Huang Zhong with a slight hesitation and hesitated.

"Don't do what the military advisor says!" Huang Zhong said in a deep voice.

Although he didn't understand why Guo Jia gave this order, out of trust in him, Huang Zhong did not question it.

"No!"

"All of you go down!"

After the two heralds left, Huang Zhong looked at Guo Jia puzzled: "Fengxiao, why didn't you kill that person without making a careful inquiry just now?" What if it's really the people who come to tell us and the others? ”

Guo Jia chuckled: "It's not just in case, that person is the person sent by the family to summon him." ”

After hearing this, Huang Zhong was even more puzzled: "Then why did you kill him?" ”

"Hansheng, what do you say Liu Yan has done to make the Yizhou family, which originally fell to us, hand over the private soldiers?" Guo Jia asked rhetorically.

Huang Zhong pondered for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Could it be more indulgence for the family?" Or what benefit is given? ”

Guo Jia shook his head lightly: "Impossible, everyone can see what kind of person Liu Yan is." The mud can't support the wall, and Yizhou is already in my Jiangdong's bag. Even if Liu Yan gives more benefits, it is just painting cakes to satisfy hunger, and the family will definitely not help him because of this. ”

"Therefore, Liu Yan is worthless to the family, he can't lure the family, I'm afraid all he can do is coercion!"

"Coercion? Just by Liu Yan? Huang Zhong was surprised.

Hearing the surprise and disdain in Huang Zhong's tone, Guo Jia said helplessly: "Hansheng, Liu Yan is incompetent and the master of one party. Although he doesn't have the courage of the lord, he will at least struggle in this desperate situation. ”

"Being able to establish himself in Yizhou for so many years, Liu Yan is by no means as unbearable as we think, at least he has tens of thousands of soldiers loyal to him. However, we easily fought this way and did not encounter much resistance, I am afraid that Liu Yan left his loyal soldiers in Chengdu to garrison! ”

"With these tens of thousands of soldiers, plus Liu Yan is their lord after all, occupying the righteousness, and with a little more means, it is still possible to force the family to compromise."

Guo Jia's speculation of the situation and people's grasp of the people's hearts are not inferior to Jia Xu, and he soon speculated the changes in Yizhou City.

"Then why do we kill the messengers sent by the family? He must have come to speak privately with us on behalf of the Maison. I'm afraid the family doesn't want to be persecuted by Liu Yan like this! Wouldn't it be easy for us to cooperate with each other and take Yizhou? Huang Zhong was even more puzzled.

Looking at Huang Zhong's innocent appearance, Guo Jia smashed his mouth, picked up the wine jug on his waist and poured it.

After half a pot of wine, Guo Jia wiped the corners of his mouth: "It's still the same reason before, the biggest threat to our control of Yizhou is not Liu Yan, but the Yizhou family and the barbarians in the south." ”

"This group of families in Yizhou is completely a group of moths, and it is not suitable to treat Yangzhou and Jingzhou families with such a gentle approach, our best choice is to cut through the mess directly and quickly and remove all these tumors!" A hint of fierceness flashed in Guo Jia's eyes.

"What do you mean?" Huang Zhong hesitated.

"If you are wrong, you will be wrong, and take the opportunity to directly destroy the Yizhou family. At the very least, they must destroy this group of private soldiers! Guo Jia said fiercely.

"But now there are nearly 100,000 troops in Chengdu! If the other party sticks to Chengdu, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to take down our army of only 60,000! Huang Zhong couldn't help but worry.

Although Huang Zhong's command is all elite, it is still a little difficult to take down the 100,000-strong army stationed in Chengdu with so many siege equipment.

And Huang Zhong didn't want to put his elite on this kind of meaningless siege battle.

"Who said it was a hundred thousand defenders?" The corners of Guo Jia's mouth hooked: "Didn't the herald just say that there are 80,000 troops listed before Chengdu?" ”

"Liu Yan is obviously guarding against those families! This group of Yizhou families is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If these 80,000 troops retreat to the city, we will be able to do nothing. But I'm afraid Liu Yan won't allow this! ”

"We must wipe out these 80,000 troops in one fell swoop before Liu Yan and the Yizhou family react, and we must not let them escape back to Chengdu."

"It's not difficult to defeat these 80,000 troops, but if you want to completely destroy them, it seems that you need to use some strategies." Huang Zhong thought about it for a while.

"For these brain-dead generals of the Yizhou family, there is no need for any clever strategies, just defeat two games first and then ambush a wave." Guo Jia said disdainfully.

He doesn't look down on these families in Yizhou at all. These people are good at fighting for power and infighting, but they are really a bunch of scumbags in frontal combat.

After Guo Jia's observation, none of the generals who surrendered to Huang Zhong before could handle it, and they could be at most a hundred generals here in Yuan Shu, and they couldn't be higher.

But this group of weak chickens was named a general in Yizhou, and led thousands of troops alone, Guo Jia can only say that Liu Yan and these families in Yizhou are really blind.

No wonder Gan Ning looked resentful and disdainful when he mentioned the situation in Yizhou. A first-class general, being pressed under the feet of a group of third-rate generals, bending down to be a county commander, how can you let him not be annoyed?

"Yes!" Huang Zhong nodded.

At the beginning, Tai Shi Ci was almost planted in Yan Yan's hands, why wasn't it because the generals in Yizhou were too wasteful!

"But this time, there won't be another Yan Yan!" Huang Zhong said worriedly.

Before, Yan Yan only had a few thousand soldiers under his command, even if his own ability was not bad, it would not hurt.

But if a character like Yan Yan emerges in Chengdu, it will be difficult to do.

Don't look at the history of the late Han Dynasty, the existence of the city of Chengdu is not high, but it is true that the city is high and the walls are thick, and it is easy to take it down.

Liu Bei's capture of Chengdu was taken by Liu Yan in the city who took the initiative to surrender, and Deng Ai's capture of Chengdu was also taken because Liu Chan took the initiative to surrender.

The main reason for this is that the family festival in Yizhou is too low, and it is all grass on the wall.

Deng Ai took 2,000 soldiers to take the trail and came to the city of Chengdu and forced the Shu Kingdom to surrender.

The soldiers in front were still fighting bloodily, and they were just surrounded by two thousand lonely soldiers in the city, so Liu Chan surrendered without discipline, how could there be such a coincidence?

The dignified capital of Shu, not to mention the heavy guards, there are always three or five thousand guards! Coupled with the solidity of Chengdu City, how could it be easy to surrender before the defeat was decided.

No matter how brave Deng Ai is, he will not make such a joke with his own life, you must know that he is the commander of the Wei army at the time, and he will never do such a thing without a certain certainty.

The majestic city of Chengdu is overshadowed by the glow of many of Yizhou's more defensible and difficult levels, but it is indeed difficult to capture.
