Chapter 16: Counterattack (II)
"There was a big incident outside the city last night, I heard that a large family of Zhuangzi, even the people and the house were burned down, and no less than 100 people died."
"It can't be Yuan Xi's anti-thieves before, right?"
"No, Yuan Xi and his brother's heads were sent over by Gongsun Kang of Liaodong, and the remnants of the Yuan family have been almost wiped out in the past two years, don't you see that there are fewer and fewer heads cut off at the mouth of the vegetable market in the past two years?"
"It is estimated that the weather is dry, and then the family does not take care of the fire, so this will harm the family."
"It's not that simple, haven't you seen the adversary come back? It was that Yuan Hou, who led the army to break through Yecheng back then, and there was also Xu Yu at that time, who created boundless slaughter in Yecheng, so I think this matter is probably related to him. ”
"This Yuan Hou should have nothing to do with the fire in the manor outside the city, people don't do dark things, you see that the sons and nephews of the Xin family are dying of being beaten in the Qinglou, and the beating people directly say that they are the guards of the Yuan Mansion, that is arrogant, why do you need to hide? Therefore, the fire in Zhuangzi outside the city is estimated to be an ordinary water walk. ”
Listening to the discussions in the restaurant on the street, Yuan Yun and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and smiled, now their methods are divided into light and dark, Xiao Liu is the thug on the bright side, responsible for all kinds of arrogance and domineering, and establishing prestige everywhere, while Deng Ai is lurking in the dark, but any shot will inevitably cause countless deaths and injuries to the opponent.
If you always cover up and prevent things from being revealed, then it will inevitably be exposed, but if you deliberately expose a part of it to others to know, their attention will only be on what they can see, like the most bullish lie, all the lies will definitely be exposed, but if you say nine out of ten sentences are true and one is false, then the false sentence will become true.
Now Xiaoliu is tantamount to telling the truth, constantly causing trouble everywhere, attracting people's eyes everywhere, which is equivalent to giving Deng Ai the biggest cover, so even if Deng Ai sometimes leaves some horses, he will not be remembered.
After laughing with Zhuge Liang, Yuan Yun glanced at Guo Jia, who had been sitting next to him, very angrily, this thing suddenly said that he was going to Luoyang to take office, so now he is very interested in Yuan Yun for a moment.
As for those secrets, Yuan Yun didn't want to hide Guo Jia at all, because this product is too smart, and his insight is even more perverted to the point that he doesn't look like a mortal, so wanting to cover up in front of him is tantamount to self-deception, it is better to let him know, but it will win the approval of this product.
Guo Jia already knew about the existence of Deng Ai's special forces, but he was not too surprised that Yuan Yun had such a private army with explosive combat power, in this chaotic era, who doesn't have some defensive capital, so it's not too much.
"I don't want to see the kid I saw a few years ago, but now he is so promising, he is really a hero and a young man, but Guo Yi, who is also studying under the name of Yuan Hou, is getting more and more angry, and he is about to completely lose the consciousness of a nobleman." When Guo Jia spoke, his face was deliberately very ugly.
Yuan Yun looked at Guo Jia's stinky face, pursed his lips very displeased, and finally replied angrily: "Guo Jiajun put Guo Yi here with me, didn't he just hope that he could live longer?" Your Guo family has been mining for several generations, which leads to the life span of each generation is not too long, don't look at the little problem with your eating and drinking spicy food now, but this lung is not good, sooner or later there will still be evil consequences, and the more you get older, the more ordinary this evil result will be.
In addition, Guo Jiajun may have offended more people than me, if Guo Yi also enters the court like you, once he has no care from you, he probably won't have to get sick, and there will be more things that can kill him.
Now Guo Yi has learned a lot of medical science in me, and arithmetic is also a big man, especially in business and accounting, these two skills are enough to ensure that his children and grandchildren enjoy it from generation to generation, so that after several generations, Guo's descendants are not only in good health, but also do not have to worry about food and clothing, I teach Guo Yi like this, what else is there to complain about Guo Jiajunshi? ”
Guo Jia listened to Yuan Yun chattering there, and the more he listened, the more powerful he nodded, and finally hugged his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "So, on behalf of the Guo family, I have thanked Yuan Xiaoxian, the descendants of the Guo family are not prosperous, Yuan Xiaoxian taught Guo Yi like this is really the greatest benefit to the Guo family, even I can't think of a better way." ”
Yuan Yun pursed his lips and didn't pay attention to Guo Yi's matter, but changed the topic and said: "I have such a powerful military force in my hands, don't you feel surprised?" Or are you going to tell Prime Minister Cao? ”
Guo Jia's old god smiled and said: "What is this, Cao Ren has more than 10,000 private troops, even if he was demoted to the wild some time ago, this private army has not been disbanded, Yuan Xiaoxian only has 500 people, who has time to pay attention to these, you can rest assured." ”
Yuan Yun knocked on the table impatiently, and continued: "Didn't Prime Minister Cao Cheng send you here to supervise me, shouldn't you tell everything in detail?" ”
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "No, no, Prime Minister Cao Cheng sent me to supervise Yuan Xiaoxian, I want to see if you have any thoughts of making trouble, other things have not been specifically explained, and how to supervise Yuan Xiaoxian, I also said that I can judge by myself, and I don't need to tell everything."
And I, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, are now from Luoyang, so I should think about it from the standpoint of my own family. ”
"So you told me as soon as you came, saying that you were here to supervise me, and you didn't take my feelings into account when you said so clearly?" Yuan Yun still looked impatient.
Guo Jia laughed and said, "Will Yuan Xiaoxian make trouble, can I Guo Fengxiao not know?" So this matter is not within the scope of my consideration at all, I am now more concerned about the combat strength of Yuan Hou's army, Wang Lang's manor is full of outlaws, these subordinates of Yuan Hou are really powerful, they did not lose a single person, they all annihilated, even Zhuangzi was burned, and there was no clue left, I admire it tightly, you should be selected by thousands of soldiers, if there is any left, it is better to give me two as a general. ”
Yuan Yun smiled when he heard this, and said: "My soldiers used to be pawns in the market, and there were even gentlemen on Liang, scoundrels, these people Guo Jiajun also wanted to send them into his family's back house?" ”
Guo Jia was stunned, then smiled in an instant, and said: "Yuan Xiao Immortal is really a fairy ability, what kind of thing can become a treasure in your hands, but these powerful people use it to deal with our own people, it is too wasteful, Yuan Hou didn't think about sending them to Yangzhou?" ”
Yuan Yunwan smiled and said: "These people were originally intended to be used to deal with the Sun family, and bringing Yecheng this time is just to practice hands, and Guo Jiajun doesn't need to knock on the side to persuade me."
But I have a doubt, now that the imperial court is preparing to use troops against the south, why is there only Guo Jiajun in the think tank, if Chen Qun and his ilk are more capable than you, I will never believe it. ”
Guo Jia heard Yuan Yun say this, and immediately laughed, and then Yuan Yun snatched the folding fan with crayons in his hand, and then unfolded it with a sigh, and said: "If I come to plan the strategy of the southern expedition, it must be to let Luoyang block Yizhou and Jingzhou alone, the main reason is that Cai Mao lost Jingzhou, originally we hoped that he could lead the Jingzhou soldiers to join us, so as to strengthen our lack of land and water, but people are not as good as the sky, after Jingzhou entered Liu Bei's bag, we can only delay the time of the southern expedition, so as to give Sun Ce a chance, so that he was able to take the lead in seizing Jinling County.
In fact, Chen Qun's talent is not weak, and he can see that Liu Bei's most taboo is the Luoyang Corps, once you start the fight, it will be impossible for him to support the Sun family in Yangzhou, so as long as we lead the main force to attack Sun Ce's forward in Jinling County, push all the way to the north bank of the river and annihilate them, and finally confront each other across the river, we can ensure that we are in a situation where we do not lose.
Then wait for the results of your Luoyang battle, if you win, we will enter the south bank of the river, if you are defeated, we will continue to hold the north bank, and then divide the troops to squeeze the forces of Jingzhou, forcing Sun Ce to send troops to rescue, then if Luoyang is organized to attack Yizhou from Hanzhong, the battle line will be completely opened.
Our greatest advantage is that we have abundant logistics, and the longer we stretch the front with the south, the more advantageous it will be, and as long as we break through one point, we can completely divide it, and then we can break it one by one, and major events can be decided within a few years. ”
Yuan Yun arched his hand and expressed infinite admiration for Guo Jia, thinking that if Guo Jia hadn't died of illness during the Northern Expedition to Karasuma in history, maybe Cao Cao would not have had the fiasco of Chibi.
Guo Jia said a lot in one breath, and finally looked at Zhuge Liang on the side, and said, "Brother Kong Ming is not an ordinary person, I don't know what I think of what I just said?" ”
Zhuge Liang just smiled lightly, and then shook his feather fan and said: "Liang just thinks that the northern soldiers are fighting in the south, and there are really a lot of inconveniences, a big river blocks the way of the army, not to mention that the northerners are not suitable for water, even if it is the weather in the south, I am afraid it is also an important obstacle for the army."
Guo Jiajun's strategy just now is good, but if he suffers a big defeat at any point, it will be equivalent to breaking the whole line, so the Northern Army may need to recuperate for a long time before it can make a comeback again, and by that time, many people may have passed away, and the situation will change accordingly, and the number of the world is really hard to say.
If these things really happen, I am afraid that it will be a three-point situation in the world, Liu Bei will inevitably replace Liu Qi to lead Jingzhou, and the foundation of the Sun family in Yangzhou will be more stable. ”
Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang saw that Guo Jia's brows were getting tighter and tighter, so his face eased and he said with a smile: "But these ideas were all before Luoyang appeared, and now looking at the development of Luoyang, Liang already feels that it is impossible to divide the world into three parts, because the longer the time drags on, the more distant the strength of the three families will be, and when Luoyang can arm 100,000 firearms soldiers, there will be no rivals in the world, Liu Bei and the Sun family are just a flash in the pan." ”
Although Guo Jia heard Zhuge Liang say that the prospect was good, his face still remained deep, and he clasped his fists for a long time before he smiled and said: "Kong Ming is a great talent, but he succumbed to the name of Yuan Hou, and even I am not worth it for you." ”
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Yuan Yun with a sarcastic look, looking very provocative and disgusting.
The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched a few times, and just as he wanted to sneer at each other, he saw Xiao Liu slip in from outside the door, and then arched his hand and said, "Lord, the second young lady Qiaoya is here." ”
