Chapter 200: The Confrontation Between Poisoners and Ghosts
Whether it is in the past life or in this life, Guo Jia that Xu Chu knows is a person who dares to take risks.
The fire in Luoyang and Hu Zhen's attack on Yingchuan seem to indicate that now is the best opportunity to go north to recover Luoyang, and it stands to reason that Guo Jia, who dares to take risks, will not give up such an opportunity.
However, since the army against Dong, Guo Jia has constantly heard the news of Wang Kuang's defeat at Niu Fu, Bao Xin's defeat at Xu Rong's defeat, and other Dong army's victories.
Let's talk about Wang Kuang's defeat first. Wang Kuang used to be the general's mansion, although he was a scholar, but he was very chivalrous, and Bao Xin was from Taishan County, and some of the soldiers in Hanoi were pulled by Wang Kuang in Taishan's hometown. So this person's ability is still a little, which is different from Kong Ling, Li Min and other celebrities who don't know soldiers at all. Previously, I heard that Wang Kuang wantonly suppressed the wealthy clans in the county when he was too shou in Hanoi, forcing them to send people, food, and money, which greatly boosted the strength of the Hanoi army, which was the behavior of the 'cool officials', and also showed from the side that Wang Kuang was not a timid and timid person. It is worth pondering that Dong Zhuo seemed to see through Wang Kuang, and very cunningly sent a suspicious soldier to pretend to cross the river head-on to attract Wang Kuang's attention.
Guo Jia secretly thought to himself, although Niu Fu was brave, he did not have the ability to take suspicious tactics according to local conditions, and it was Dong Zhuo himself who arranged the suspicious soldiers, or it could be the strategists around Dong Zhuo.
Let's talk about Bao Xin's defeat. Bao Xin's 20,000 cavalry, plus Zhang Miao's general Wei Zi's thousands of elites, was defeated by Xu Rong in Xingyang, and his brother Bao Tao and Zhang Miao's general Wei Zi were both killed.
It stands to reason that this is unlikely.
Guo Jia and Xu Chu had discussed this before, and Bao Xin in Xu Chu's mouth was a very far-sighted and capable person. Of course, Guo Jia didn't know that Xu Chu had come to this conclusion based on the insights of his previous life. Xu Chufei in Guo Jia's eyes is a person who is very eloquent, and his personality is more pragmatic, and in addition, Xi Zhong also praised Bao Xin's performance in Luoyang. Bao Xin was the main general, with more than 20,000 foot cavalry, and was defeated in a battle, and there were few escapees. Behind the unbelievable appearance, Guo Jia believes that Dong Jun took advantage of the terrain of Xingyang and Bao Xin's desire to fight.
In terms of topography, Xingyang to the east is Chenggao and Tiger Pass, the terrain in this area has gradually narrowed, whenever after the rain, it is even more muddy and difficult to walk, that is, for the skilled generals of the art of war, Xingyang is a very conducive place for defense and counterattack.
Dong Zhuo was transferred to Xingyang to defend the experienced and ruthless Xu Rong.
Xu Rong and Li Meng's soldiers and horses, plus the defenders of Chenggao and Xingyang, had the upper hand in the face of Bao Xin in terms of numbers, plus Dong Jun was already more elite, and Xu Rong led the troops, which can be said to be the right time, location, and people were all occupied, so Bao Xin was defeated.
The failure of these two soldiers and horses made Guo Jia deeply impressed by Dong Jun's good fighting and cunning.
Therefore, he said that the Luoyang fire and Hu Zhen's attack on Ying may be Dong Zhuo's plan to lure the enemy, and he will tell everyone about his ideas.
After Yao Sheng and Xin Bi heard this, they were greatly surprised.
Especially Xin Bi, he came to Xu Chu's side later than Guo Jia, and both of them are from Yingchuan clans, so it is inevitable that they will compete with each other secretly. At first, Xin Bi felt that he was a child of the Wang family, and thought that Xu Chu would sooner or later put his position before Guo Jia and Xi Zhong, but after observation, it was found that Xu Chu recognized Xi Zhong and Guo Jia as his masterminds, which made him secretly quite unhappy. Now after listening to Guo Jia's analysis, Xin Bi's unhappiness faded a lot, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Feng Xiao is a great talent." ”
Yao Sheng and Xin Bi touched the bypass, and at this time they also figured out that this time it was very likely that it was Dong Zhuo's trick again, aren't you making a lot of fun? Well, I'll burn Luoyang now, and send Hu Zhen to Yingchuan, and you will attack Yique and Otani.
Xin Bi frowned and said: "Dong Zhuo Lao Ge is really cunning in using troops, the prince, it is inevitable that Sun Jian will be defeated, and our strength will be damaged, so I should send someone to inform him of the reason as soon as possible." ”
Xu Chu smiled bitterly: "Now that the tiger has been released from the cage, how can it be pulled back?" At present, we can only plan for possible adverse situations to minimize losses. ”
Guo Jia agreed: "The lord is wise. In my expectation, the military situation that Dong Jun will threaten Hanoi will come soon, and this military situation should be a suspicious tactic, at this time, the Dong army stationed in Xiaopingjin should have arrived in the area of Yique and Dagu, opened a big net, and waited for General Sun to drill in. In this way, it was not easy for the lord and General Cao to directly wave their troops to rescue, and General Sun insisted on going his own way, so he could only wait for him to be ambushed, and then quickly send troops to rescue. ”
"That's all there is to it." Xu Chu said lightly.
Sun Jian didn't shed tears when he didn't see the coffin, if Guo Jia was unfortunately said, as soon as the news from Hanoi arrived, he would be more assured and bold to attack the pass, and when he tackled the fortification, as soon as the ambush came out, everything was over. And if he and Cao Cao go early, not only will they not be able to make Sun Jian change their minds, but they will be pitted by Sun Jian, which is very unwise. can only wait for Sun Jian to wake up himself, and then there is a possibility of rescue.
"George, please go and contact General Cao quickly."
"Whoa."
Xin Bi received the order, went out of the tent, and rode his horse to the Yangren gathering.
Xu Chu stood up, walked a few steps in the tent, and suddenly said: "Fengxiao, Shuyi, Yang Zhai's side...... I always feel uneasy. ”
Yao Sheng said: "But please be relieved, Gan Xing dominates the warriors of Shu County, Xu Yuanzhi is calm and alert, and the strong walls of Yangzhai City are high, and Hu Zhen has twice as many people, and he can't attack it." Besides, isn't there Kong Yuzhou still there? ”
Guo Jia also said: "We don't have the strength to send more people to Yangzhai, just stick to it, and the lord doesn't need to worry." ”
Xu Chu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the grain road will be cut off by Hu Zhen." ”
"Don't worry about this, Liang County's grain reserves are enough for half a month, and half a month is enough to make the battle situation clear here, and Hu Zhen will retreat by then."
......
Luoyang.
After Dong Zhuo read the military report, the fat on his face couldn't help but tremble, and he handed the military newspaper to the left and right and sent it to Jia Xu's case.
After Jia Xu read it, he said softly.
"Xu Chu and Cao Cao didn't go north?" Jia Xu was over forty years old, and his eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything, showed a slight surprise in front of Dong Zhuo and the others for the first time, which made Dong Zhuo and the others feel happy for no reason.
Li Ru smiled: "Ming Gong, I didn't expect Wen He to meet an opponent." ”
Dong Zhuo touched his big belly and laughed. After laughing, he asked Li Ru, "Wen You, has Niu Fu's army been deployed?" ”
Li Ru replied: "Yu Minggong, General Niu has arrived in Dagu a few days ago, and there is no new military report yet. However, I expected that General Niu should have settled down, just waiting for Sun Jian to take the bait. ”
