Chapter 702: The strong general disappeared without a trace
For Guo Huaiqi, what he thinks about is definitely not how to defend Gaoyi, let alone to die for Yuan Benchu, anyway, it will definitely not be these.
People are more for their own sake, in fact, don't look at Guo Huai is indeed doing things under Yuan Shao's Jizhou military account, but to be honest, he really has no sense of belonging to the Jizhou army. For him, his so-called lord Yuan Benchu had no kindness to him at all, and now he can become this Gaoyi guard, it is because of the recommendation of others, and it took a lot of effort to become a general. It's not that he Yuan Benchu has any "insight into heroes", and he discovered his talent at once.
It's not that he underestimated Yuan Benchu and his person, even if you ask him at this time, he probably doesn't necessarily know the Tao of Lu, and he can have his own Guo Huai Guo Boji and his own person. Of course, this is also true, because Yuan Benchu made the decision, so he became the main general of this Gaoyi, and he naturally will not forget it. But for this, he will naturally repay him, for example, guarding Gaoyi City for a few days, in Guo Huai's eyes, he is worthy of Yuan Benchu and the Jizhou army.
And he does have his own plans, especially when he knows that Cao Cao has now entered Wei County, and even Liyang has been captured. To be honest, when Guo Huai learned the news, he knew that his opportunity had come. Why do you say this, it is because he wants to take refuge in Cao Cao, but he has never had a good chance. But now Cao Cao has led the Yanzhou army into Jizhou, which is in Wei County in the southernmost part, and this is a great opportunity for him.
Why do you say this, it is because I have been in Jizhou for many years, so I definitely know the geography of Jizhou better than their Yanzhou army, at least I have not been in vain these years. Then if he joined the Yanzhou Army and helped him Cao Mengde capture a few Jizhou cities, wouldn't he have the qualifications to advance?
It can be said that Guo Huai thinks really clearly. At least he knew that Cao Cao would definitely welcome such a person as himself. Putting aside everything else, let's just say the most basic thing, I am a member of the Jizhou Army, and I gave up the Jizhou Army and went directly to his Yanzhou Army, doesn't this explain the problem. At that time, in the eyes of the world, some people will definitely think that the Jizhou army can no longer hold Jizhou. Otherwise, the defenders of a big city in Jizhou have all turned to the enemy.
Therefore, Guo Huai is very confident in his defection to Cao Cao and the Yanzhou army. He believes that as long as Cao Cao is still a smart person, then he will definitely accept himself. As for doubting whether he is using a trick. This is a problem, Guo Huai thinks. Cao Cao is such a traitorous character. There must be some suspicions, but he can definitely tell whether this is a plan or not. If you can't even tell the difference, then you don't have to take refuge in his side anymore-
I have to say that Guo Huai's thoughts doomed him not to fight to the death with Ma Chao's Liangzhou army. In other words, he will never be loyal to Yuan Shao. What city is in the people, the city is broken and the people are dead, this is simply impossible. Guo Huai will definitely not fight to the bottom of a single soldier, as long as he achieves his own goal. Naturally, he had to do what he wanted to do. So for Ma Chao, because they didn't know what Guo Huai thought, they really couldn't do anything.
After this, Ma Chao still let the army continue to attack the city, and on the third, fourth, and fifth days, for five consecutive days, he still failed to break Gaoyi. But Ma Chao and everyone also knew that their soldiers were improving, and the threat to Gaoyi was indeed getting bigger and bigger. The so-called "long-term attack will be lost", there is no city that cannot be broken, but Guo Huai is indeed not an ordinary defender, and everyone admits it.
But everyone also saw hope, according to such a situation, sooner or later they will definitely break this Gaoyi City-
Everyone in the Liangzhou army saw hope, but Guo Huai's side, he was still not satisfied with his performance in the past few days. Although he resisted the attack of the Liangzhou army, of course he could see that according to this situation, Gaoyi City would definitely be broken sooner or later. It's just a pity, if the combat strength of your own soldiers is equivalent to that of the Liangzhou soldiers, you may have no problem holding on for a few months, but after a long time, this problem has become prominent, and it seems that you have to make plans early.
On the sixth day, Ma Chao was ruthless, first swore an oath, and mobilized the belligerent heart of the soldiers and the belief that they would win. Then this time, he directly asked the three of them to lead the troops to attack the city, Ma Dai, Lei Tong and Wu Ban, and let the three of them lead the troops to attack Gaoyi City together. Although Ma Chao also let Ma Dai and Wu Ban attack the city before, it was the first time for the three of them to attack Gaoyi. In fact, Ma Chao thinks that it is not that it is better to let more generals lead troops to attack the city, but he feels that there are still some advantages, so he ......
The three of them saw that they had not made any achievements for several days, and they were indeed very anxious, and today their lord asked the three of them to lead the army to attack the city together, which shows that the lord also wants to break Gaoyi as soon as possible. And the lord believes in the three of them very much, or let the three of them lead the troops, so the three of them also made up their minds to break Gaoyi City-
The three of them were attacking the city with soldiers, and originally, they were indeed strongly resisted by the Jizhou army, but later, the other party's resistance became weaker. A few people noticed later, I don't know when Lu Dao went, Guo Huai and his people were actually gone, and they were no longer in the city.
This matter made the three of them confused, why did the main general disappear when he beat people. But no matter what the reason, a few people will definitely not miss this great opportunity anyway. After all, these days, he has suffered a big loss from Guo Huai and Guo Boji, so when he is not in the city, he hurriedly attacked, and fought to win Gaoyi City in a battle.
I have to say that several people think the same thing. And it's the most correct thing today. Not only them, but also the Liangzhou sergeants, as well as Ma Chao, but they all found out that Guo Huai was gone. This is really a strange thing, let alone them, even the Jizhou sergeants don't know how to go, why is their main general actually gone. If this master is all gone, what kind of city will he and others guard?
The morale of the Jizhou sergeants and soldiers really plummeted, and they couldn't figure it out. Why is there still so many people in the city, but the main general actually ran away, and this matter has become a strange talk in the world. But there is no one to look for, where can I find it?
As soon as Guo Huai left at this time, it can be said that the final result has already been decided. After all, there is no Guo Huai. Gaoyi City, which lacks the main general, should not think about how long it will be able to defend against Ma Chao's Liangzhou army. From here, you can see the importance of Guo Huai. He's really not bad. Either he was there and he wasn't there, the city would be two things. Gaoyi City is missing Guo Huai, this is not just as simple as not having the main general.
What does it mean to "take advantage of your illness and want your life", if the Liangzhou Army still doesn't know how to seize the opportunity at this time, it will really be in vain for so many years in the world. Such a great time. If you can't grasp it anymore, then you can really be a waste-
At this time, Ma Dai was heard shouting, "Brothers, the main general of the enemy army has fled." Everyone, rush, the Jizhou Army is not our opponent anymore! ”
When the soldiers heard this, they really boosted their morale, which showed the impact of Guo Huai on them in the past few days. Knowing that Guo Huai is gone, their morale is indeed soaring. Indeed, if Guo Huai was still in the city, then they would not be like this. But the person who made him particularly jealous is gone, so if you don't seize such a great opportunity, it will really be wrong.
"Kill ......"
……
Gaoyi City, where Guo Huai is present, can indeed withstand Ma Chao's Liangzhou army for a long time, and this must be no problem. But without Guo Huai's presence in Gaoyi City, can it still withstand the fierce attack of the Liangzhou soldiers? ——
Guo Jia, who was next to Ma Chao, smiled at this time, "Congratulations to the lord, it seems that the lord will be able to enter Gaoyi City today!" ”
Ma Chao didn't laugh, but he sighed lightly, "Alas, a Gaoyi city actually blocked our army for five or six days!" ”
"The main thing is that our army hasn't encountered such a strong opponent for a long time, but, it's a pity, I don't know why this Guo Boji abandoned the city and left?"
Ma Chao smiled this time, "Guo Fengxiao doesn't know anything about the Dao, and it is estimated that there are few people in the world who know the Dao!" ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he shook his head and smiled, he vaguely felt that there was something unknown here. After all, there are still a lot of soldiers of the Jizhou Army in Gaoyi City, and Guo Huai can give up this great advantage and abandon the city directly. Obviously, he is not ready to defend the city anymore, and if he is not ready to defend the city, then he will not go to Yuan Benchu, after all, this matter has to be told by Yuan Shao, then Guo Huai will definitely be unable to escape death, so ......
Guo Jia vaguely guessed that Guo Huai might be going to join Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, but this matter does not necessarily have to be like this. But if Guo Huai really went to take refuge in the Yanzhou army, then he would really add a strong opponent to his side. But if he Guo Boji really does this, then there are indeed a lot of problems here. At least he must be optimistic about the Yanzhou army, not Yuan Benchu's Jizhou army. And he really didn't want to die for the Jizhou army and Yuan Benchu, so he left this place without hesitation.
As for what Guo Jia thought, he didn't say it to his father-in-law. Because he also knows it in his heart, it is estimated that his lord can also see some things, even better than himself. But there is no need to analyze this matter until it is determined. At least where Guo Huai went, it doesn't have much to do with him. Anyway, as long as you quickly occupy Gaoyi City, this is the most important. (To be continued......)
