Chapter 226: It's Good to Be Young

The princes of the Kwantung Coalition Army were all impressed by the Qingzhou Army's efforts to attack the city, and even Cao Cao, who had always been suspicious of the Qingzhou Army, was full of praise, and his precautionary heart was much weaker.

He thinks that even if the Qingzhou Army and the Bingzhou Army really had something to do with each other in the past, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no two hearts after separating one side for so long.

Only Guo Jia still refused to believe it and was skeptical, but there was no evidence to prove his guess.

In this way, the princes of the Seven Roads took turns to attack the city, except for the Qingzhou Army, which was acting, the other six were really attacking the city.

There were at least 3,000 or 4,000 casualties each, and the cumulative casualties inflicted on the Central Army were as many as 12,000, half of which were the main force of the Central Army.

Fortunately, after the baptism of war, the combat effectiveness of many Tuntian troops, local garrison brigades, and reserve brigades has been greatly improved, mainly because of the improvement of courage and fighting spirit.

LΓΌ Bu also seconded the secretaries of the main forces, especially the cavalry units, to the Tuntian Army and the local garrison brigades to strengthen ideological work and enhance morale and cohesion.

Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Chen Gong and other military advisors reached a consensus that since the war of attrition had begun, it could not be stopped, and Lu Bu could not be given a chance to breathe.

In particular, Lu Bu has a large number of troops who are bound to Zaiju Prefecture and Duliao region, once Xu Huang and Xianbei people distinguish the victory and defeat, I am afraid that they will free up their hands and affect the battle situation in Tiger Prison Pass.

All the military advisors, including the Kwantung princes, were optimistic about the Xianbei people, although they all pinned their hopes on the Xianbei people.

They believed that Lu Bu's army, which remained undefeated against the Xianbei people, and Xu Huang, who had created the miracle of "five thousand to zero", would achieve the final victory.

So the second round of the war of attrition unfolded, in the same order.

In addition to the acting Qingzhou Army, which sent less than 5,000 new troops to the Tiger Prison Pass, the other princes suffered a lot of losses.

However, the losses they inflicted on the Central Army also increased, which was related to the adjustment of the ratio of the Central Army and local troops by the defenders of Tiger Pass.

After the second round of attrition, the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass suffered nearly 16,000 casualties, and of course, they inflicted at least nearly 30,000 casualties on the Kwantung coalition army.

During this period, additional reinforcements from the Kwantung Coalition Army arrived one after another.

Guo Jia and Cao Cao came to Yuan Shao again, and this time Guo Jia stated that he wanted to borrow Yuan Shao's army.

This time, Guo Jia first revealed all his ideas and told Yuan Shao.

It turned out that he wanted to use Yuan Shao's navy to send an elite army to Guanzhong Sanfu and directly attack Chang'an, just like Zhang Liao, go deep into the hinterland of the Central Army, and turn him upside down.

Now that Lu Bu has concentrated all his forces on the front line of the Tiger Prison Pass, the three assistants in the pass must be empty, and they will definitely be able to make gains.

There are also people in the Chang'an court who are interested in the Kwantung coalition army, and when the time comes, they can be used as internal responses, cooperate with the army, and open the gates of Chang'an City.

When the time comes, if you snatch the emperor back, you will be able to command the world like Lu Bu and obtain the name of righteousness!

Yuan Shao was once again impressed by Guo Jia's bold idea, and at the same time envious of Cao Cao.

Although he also has an excellent military advisor like Tian Feng, he can't come up with such a moving, fascinating, and blood-soaked idea!

It's terrible to be young!

Yuan Shao asked Guo Jia how many troops he needed to dispatch? Guo Jia asked Yuan Shao rhetorically, "I don't know how many people can be transported by the alliance leader's navy at one time?" ”

Yuan Shao smiled bitterly: "I don't understand the tricks of this navy, wait a while, I'll call the commander of the navy, last time you told me that you might need to use the navy in the future, I have transferred the navy from Liyang to Aocang." ”

The three of them waited for a while, and two generals came in from outside the tent, and when they looked at the bronze complexion, they knew that they were people who had been running on the water for many years.

Yuan Shao introduced these two to Cao Cao and Guo Jia, "These two are the commanders of the naval army under my account, General Zhao Fu, General Cheng Lian, and Mr. Feng Xiao, if you have any questions, just ask!" ”

Guo Jia repeated his concern again, Zhao Fu made a slight estimate, and replied: "Mr. Hui Fengxiao, our navy has 100 large ships and 350 small boats, and in addition to the sailors, the big ships can also transport 180 people, and the small boats can transport 30 to 40 people. ”

"In addition, if necessary, the civilian boats on the Yellow River can be requisitioned. After the start of the war, we have seized a number of these civilian ships, and together they can transport about 10,000 people,"

"In this way, the navy can transport 30,000 infantry at a time, and if it is cavalry, I am afraid it can only transport less than 20,000 people."

Guo Jia nodded, "It's enough, it doesn't need too much, the war of attrition in the Tiger Prison Pass can't be stopped, at least we have to hold on until we return from Chang'an." ”

Cao Cao heard "we"? Anxiously asked: "Fengxiao, do you want to personally lead the troops to Chang'an?" No, for this kind of dangerous thing, it is better to send a reliable general, you are a weak person, it is better to stay behind and command! ”

Yuan Shao also persuaded: "Mr. Fengxiao, what Meng De said is right, why do you have to take risks in person, how many soldiers and horses do you need, my Jizhou army is out, and I will send Liyi to go in person, just in case, you still stay here and wait for news with us!" ”

Guo Jia shook his head, "The lord, the first father, the two of you don't need to persuade each other, the plan I made, naturally only I know best, the details of the steps, and once there are any variables on the road, I can adjust and deal with it in time!" ”

"Please also ask the two adults to fully support me, I will definitely bring the Son of Heaven back to Kanto!"

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao saw Guo Jia's resolute attitude, and knew that what Guo Jia said was reasonable, so they no longer blocked it, and Yuan Shao also said that he could tell Guo Jia the inside line of his ambush in Chang'an, and the inside should be combined with the outside to open the gate of Chang'an.

Guo Jia is very happy, and with multiple internal responses, Chang'an will be more sure to win.

In the end, the result of the discussion was that Guo Jia was responsible for directing this operation, mobilizing 5,000 cavalry of Cao Cao's army, 5,000 cavalry of Yuan Shao's army, and 5,000 Xiandeng infantry.

The generals Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Lu Yi, and Gao Ran accompanied Guo Jia on the expedition, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao repeatedly told the generals that they must protect Guo Jia's safety.

When the navy of the Kwantung Coalition Army was mightily sticking to the north bank of the Yellow River, bypassing the Tiger Prison Pass, and going upstream, Lu Bu stood above the water gate of the Tiger Prison Pass, watching this fleet of sailors, with as many as five or six hundred large ships, small boats, war ships, and cargo ships.

Lu Bu turned to look at Jia Xu and Gao Shun, "Wenhe, fortunately, I got your reminder a long time ago, otherwise I would have really been exploited by them!" ”

"This Guo Jia is really bold, and his thinking is very new, and he is really worthy of being called a "ghost talent"! ”

"Lord, although I reminded you to be careful of Yuan Shao's sailor, but there are more things that you do yourself, we admire you even more, how can you think of combining them together!"

This Lu Bu can't explain it to them, and it is impossible to tell them that he is a traverser!

"Flying pigeons, let them prepare, just defeat the enemy's army before they come ashore, let them choose the location! After practicing for so long, it's time to come out and do the activity! ”

After speaking, Lu Bu also had high hopes for this "them", and he had spent a lot of effort on "them", and the materials and money spent were even more astronomical.

I didn't want to let "them" appear in front of the world now, but what should come will always come, Guo Jia sent it to the door himself, so he has to seize the opportunity.
