Guo Jia couldn't stop shaking his head, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, once the castle of forgetting worries is breached, the conclusive evidence of the production and sale of Sanssouci Pill by our Central Army will spread all over the world, and those who are worried that their brother is infected with Sanssouci Poison, Xianbei Wuhuan and other foreign nobles will send troops together to deal with our Central Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Jin Liang knew that Guo Jia's words were not alarmist.

Jin Liang is now at war with evil families such as Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou, etc., and he can barely cope with it, that is because these rebellious families only account for more than one percent of all the families in the world, and the vast majority of the families are waiting, if Jin Liang can sweep away the coalition of those rebellious families, the rest of the families will obediently clamp their tails and be people, but if they know that Jin Liang came up with a worry-free pill to target their younger brother, they will come to a thousand families to ask for the gold alliance, with Jin Liang's current tired and scattered military deployment, they will definitely not be able to resist, Maybe it will fall into the fate of Zhang Jiao.

Thinking of this, Jin Liang suddenly felt that the besieged Forgotten Castle had become a time bomb, and if the Song Xian rebels broke through the Forgotten Castle, it would be like a bomb explosion, blowing Jin Liang's existing forces to pieces.

Jin Liang suddenly thought of another time bomb, and hurriedly asked: "Fengxiao, did Song Xian tell Wei Xu about digging the tomb of the first emperor?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "It is estimated that Song Xian felt that it was not very honorable for him to participate in an errand like touching gold, so he did not tell Wei Xu about digging the tomb of the first emperor." His subordinates didn't dare to guarantee that he would never talk about it in the future, once Song Xian told this matter, and the Forgotten Worry Castle was breached, and the matter of the Immortal Pill and the Sanssouci Pill was exposed at the same time, it would be greatly detrimental to the future development of our Central Army. The lord, for the sake of today, is to quickly take Huguan and Jinyang City, sweep away the rebellion of the Bingzhou family, and capture and kill Song Xian.

My lord, this time the situation is different. You'll need to be on your own. In order to quickly break through the rebels of the state family. ”

"The Jin family? What's the matter? Although Jin Liang has lived in Bingzhou for more than ten years, he knows very little about this Jin family.

Guo Jia flipped through the newly received information and said: "Lord, this Jin family is entrenched in Xihe County, and is the descendant of Jin Shang, the doctor of Chu during the Warring States Period, and later somehow moved to Xihe County, they have been friendly with the Huns for generations, and have a marriage relationship, they mainly make a fortune by selling iron tools and salt to the Huns, because this is all smuggling. So the Jin family has always been very low-key, and this time, for some reason, they suddenly announced an alliance with the Wang family of Qi County in a very high-profile manner. ”

"Befriending the Huns?!" A cold light flashed in Jin Liang's eyes and said, "Could it be that those Southern Huns also want to move this time?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Don't worry, the Southern Xiongnu do have the intention to rebel." However, it was suppressed by Duliao General Cheng, Wuyuan County Lieutenant Ju Yi and Hun Zhonglang General, Xihe County Lieutenant Zhu Lingyi North and South, and the Southern Xiongnu did not dare to act rashly for the time being. How could Zhu Ling raise troops to the north, so that the Jin family in Xihe County had the opportunity to raise troops to the east and join forces with the Wang family in Qi County, Taiyuan County. ”

Jin Liang frowned lightly and said, "How many people are there in their Merge State Family Alliance?" ”

Guo Jia replied: "The Wang family of Qi County, Taiyuan County is the family of the pseudo-Situ Wang Yun, and the prestige in Bingzhou is very high, and the nine families, including the Jin family of Xihe County, have joined the rebels of the Bingzhou family, with a total strength of about 80,000 people, and after Song Xian, Yang Chou, and Mu Shun took refuge in them, the total strength reached more than 130,000. More than 10,000 people stayed in Jinyang City, more than 10,000 people stayed in Huguan, Song Xian led 20,000 people to attack the castle of forgetting worries, and 90,000 troops went straight to Xiangyang. ”

Since Jin Liang put down the Jizhou family rebellion initiated by Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Bian Rang and other family ministers, and quickly defeated the 150,000 Jizhou family rebels of Zheng Tai, Liu Hui, and Ruan Yu, he was very disdainful of the combat power of these family alliances: "130,000 soldiers and horses are nothing, but they are just a group of rabble. ”

Guo Jia saw that Jin Liang had made another mistake of underestimating the enemy, and hurriedly admonished: "Lord, you don't know, most of the Jizhou families you destroyed before are from the hinterland of Jizhou. Since Zhang Jiao was wiped out five years ago, their family soldiers have rarely experienced major battles, and they have no actual combat experience, and their combat power is naturally not strong, but the alliance of the Jizhou family is completely different from the alliance of the Jizhou family.

Lord, you have been in the state for a long time. When it is known that there are black mountain thieves in the east, white wave thieves in the south, and Xiongnu Xianbei in the north, the four sides are uneven. Those Shijiawu forts are attacked from time to time, especially Xianbei will invade every winter, these family soldiers are veterans of a hundred battles, and the state is close to the Xiongnu Xianbei, it is very easy to obtain war horses, the lord previously commanded the iron cavalry of the state and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang iron cavalry and called the two strongest cavalry in the world, the number of cavalry in the family alliance is said to be more than 40,000, and the combat power should not be underestimated. ”

Only then did Jin Liang cheer up and said, "Oh, it seems that this battle can still be interesting." Who will they be? ”

Guo Jiadao: "The rebels of the Bingzhou family are the only ones who are the head of the Taiyuan Wang family, and Wang Yun's righteous brother Wang Hong is the commander of the rebels, but Wang Hong is not familiar with military affairs, and it is Wang Yun's nephew Wang Ling who really commands the rebels to attack, and it is Wang Ling who designs to lure Song Xian, Yang Chou, and Mu Shun down. ”

"Wang Ling?!" Jin Liang thought about it carefully, this guy has also shown his head in history, escaped when Li Dao Guo Yan broke through Chang'an, and later defected to Cao Cao, followed Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Ei, is Cao Wei's three generations of old ministers, has been Sikong, he became friends with Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang in the early years, but later because Sima Yi punished Cao Shuang, Wang Ling was dissatisfied, so he prepared to rebel, who knew that Sima Yi was aware of it, Sima Yi's army arrived in Shouchun, Wang Ling could not get the tiger charm and could not mobilize soldiers and horses, couldn't compete with Sima Yi's army at all, and was finally forced to commit suicide by drinking medicine.

Jin Liang faintly felt that Wang Ling should not have such ruthless means to lure Yang Chou and Mu Shun to kill Zhang Yang and sacrifice the pot pass, and there should be a capable person behind his back, he suddenly remembered a person, so he asked: "I asked you to send someone to assassinate Sima Lang and Sima Yi's brothers, can you do it?" ”

Guo Jia said with a look of shame: "Lord Qi, before this, Sima Lang and Sima Yi had been living in the puppet Situ Wang Yun's mansion, Wang Yun Youjian was led by the lord to break through the door of his mansion before, so he asked Dong Zhuo to transfer five hundred Flying Bear Army to guard the gate of the mansion, and the assassins we sent were killed by the Flying Bear Army twice.

Later, Jia Xu went to negotiate peace with Dong Zhuo, and said Sima Yi's wolf Gu in front of Li Ru, Dong Zhuo heard what Li Ru said, and killed Sima Yi, but because Sima Fang was now Jing Zhaoyin of Chang'an, Dong Zhuo did not kill Sima Yi immediately, but Wang Yun saw Dong Zhuo's murderous intention, and asked Wang Ling to quietly take Sima Lang and Sima Yi to escape back to Taiyuan Wang's house, and when they arrived in Taiyuan, Yang Biao, Zheng Tai and others rebelled in Xiangyang, Sima Lang and Sima Yi instigated Wang Ling and Wang Hong to raise troops in order to avenge the destruction of the family. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia frowned tightly and said: "Lord, we have found out that Yang Biao, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai, and Bian Rang rebelled this time, and it was Wang Yun, the pseudo-Situ of Luoyang, who sent people to instigate and persuade him, and it was Sima Lang and Sima Yi who gave advice to Wang Yun. ”

Jin Liang said angrily: "Sima Yi, this little rabbit cub, this Jizhou family rebellion and the Bingzhou family rebellion have his ghost!" Zhang Jaw, let him kill Sima's family, but he missed Sima Bada, the eight mongrels who brought disaster to the country and the people! His brother Gao Ran also betrayed Ben Hou! Feng Xiao, send someone to keep an eye on his jaw, and if he has the slightest objection, send someone to kill him! ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Lord, this person is not high-minded, he is more wise and knowledgeable, and he should not make a stupid choice." ”

Jin Liang sighed and said: "This time he was betrayed by Lu Chong, Gao Lan, and Song Xian, and saw that his friend Zhang Yang was killed by his generals, Ben Hou doesn't dare to trust anyone easily now!" ”

Jin Liang thought that Guo Jia would insist on opposing the monitoring of Zhang Jaw, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to nod vigorously and said: "Lord, it should be like this, the kind of statement that suspicious people don't need to use people is pure deception, just like the lord once said, there is no absolute loyalty in the world, just look at the price of betrayal, the gain of betrayal, suspicious people to use, use people must be suspicious, the lord must strengthen the monitoring of the generals under his command, can't let such a thing happen again!" ”

Jin Liang nodded solemnly, Guo Jia's words won his heart, and he said with a smile: "Fengxiao, although you and I are monarchs and ministers, like brothers, I have questioned many people, but I have never questioned you, I hope you are worthy of my trust!" ”

Guo Jia laughed heartily and said: "Lord, please rest assured, if your subordinates are dissatisfied with you in the future, at most they will give up, and they will never do anything dirty about betrayal." ”

Jin Liang thought of Guo Jia when he left Yuan Shao and said to fellow villagers Xin Ping and Guo Tu: "The wise man judges the master, so he can make a name for himself by doing everything he can." Yuan Gongfu wanted to follow the corporal of Zhou Gong, but he didn't know the opportunity to use people. There are many ends, there are few wants, there is no decision, and it is difficult to help the world with each other, and it is difficult to determine the cause of the overlord! ”

Jin Liang was really worried that Guo Jia would say such a thing one day, so he laughed and said: "Fengxiao, if I do something wrong, you can bring it up directly, if there is one, change it, and if not, you will be encouraged, don't keep your dissatisfaction in your heart." I'm so worried that you'll suddenly leave me one day without saying a word. ”

Guo Jia saw that Jin Liang cared about himself so much, his heart was warm, and he laughed loudly: "The lord is like a stream, what is the backlog of dissatisfaction among his subordinates?!" I just hope that the lord can learn more imperial techniques in the future! ”

"Emperor's Technique?!" Jin Liang frowned and said: "Fengxiao, my lifelong wish is to chase the ancestor Qi Taigong far away and rejuvenate the Jin family, what is the matter with this emperor's technique?" ”

Guo Jia stared at Jin Liang and said: "Lord, your ambition can't be hidden, since you have to ascend to that position sooner or later, why don't you cultivate the art of ** king earlier?" Practicing more of the way of the emperor will be of great benefit to the lord's hegemony. ”

Jin Liang nodded and smiled, acquiescing to Guo Jia's conjecture, and then smiled and said, "Let's put down Wang Ling's rebels of the Bingzhou family for now." I'll wait until that stage, I still like it to come naturally. ”

Jin Liang said so, but in private, but he began to practice "Xun", "Han Fei", "Ghost Valley" and other imperial learning, Jin Liang heard of "two thousand years of learning, ten years of learning, two thousand years of policy, Qin Zheng also" said, Xun in Confucius's thought to add the elements of "law", although very explicit, but very practical, the emperor preached Confucius, the reference of doing things is Xunxue, Han Fei on the basis of his master Xun further, quite worthy of Jin Liang's practice.

When important things and urgent things are put together, Jin Liang has no choice but to solve the urgent things first, and this time the Forgotten Castle is in danger is a very urgent matter, Jin Liang can not imagine a series of terrible consequences after the Forgotten Castle falls into the hands of the Song Xian rebels, he hurriedly gathered the generals and discussed the big tent in the army outside Handan City.

Jin Liang looked around at the main generals in the tent, including Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Xu Rong, Wei Yue, Dian Wei, Zhang Ren, Cheng Lian, Cao 'Xing', Pan Feng, Hua Xiong, Wu Anguo and other generals, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Dong Zhao, Huang Quan and other strategists, as well as Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, Lu Meng and other children standing aside.

Jin Liang asked Guo Jia to report on the recent emergency military situation.

While Guo Jia reported the military situation, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Jia Xu, Huang Quan and others showed the deployment of the enemy's forces on the sand table according to the military situation.

After Guo Jia finished telling the military situation, he talked about the tactics originally designated by the military affairs institute, and everyone showed a wry smile on their faces, if it weren't for the urgent need for rescue in the Forgetfulness Castle, the tactics of pretending to besiege the city and send reinforcements could be called the best choice, but the Forgetfulness Castle was very important, and it was impossible to save it, it was really a pity that it was such a good opportunity to annihilate the rebels of the Youzhou family.

The Castle of Forgetting Worries is on the southwest side of Huguan, and it is necessary to break through Huguan in order to rescue the Castle of Forgotten Worries.

Huguan is not only a Xiongguan, or Shangdang County, has always been the throat of the state and Jizhou, east of Huguan is the boundless North China Plain, Huguan fell into the hands of the rebels of the Zhou family, and the iron cavalry of the rebels drove straight into the hinterland of Jizhou, if it were not for the rebellion of Xiangzhou bent on attacking Xiangyang, I am afraid that the hinterland of Jizhou east of Xiangyang is already a big chaos.

Conquer the pot pass. You can cut off the way for the Bingzhou rebels to escape back to their lair, and you can annihilate the Bingzhou rebels under Xiangyang in one fell swoop.

So, now the focus. It's how to conquer the pot pass.

In the course of the deliberations, new information came from the front.

Jin Liang looked at it, and his face became more solemn and said, "Everyone." Lu Tong, the defender of the Forgotten Castle, sent people over Taihang and came to report that they could only hold on for ten days, if we can't take the Huguan within ten days, the Forgotten Castle will be broken by the Song Xian rebels, and then our Central Army will become the public enemy of the world, which is extremely unfavorable to our future development. ”

The marching commander Shi Dongzhao said with a smile: "The lord can let Zhang Yan's Feiyan army send troops from Taihang. Assist us in attacking Huguan. The Feiyan Army has been supported by the Lord for half a year, and the Feiyan Army has developed rapidly with the support of the Lord, and now it has 60,000 'fine' soldiers, and the 60,000 'fine' soldiers are all in the Tuntian Corps of our Central Army, and the Feixiong Army has actually become a vassal of our Central Army. Normally, they were only asked to assist in the attack on the rebel family's dock fort, but now it is time to really use them! We can send someone to tell Zhang Yan and let him attack from the west side of Huguan. Our Central Army launched an attack from the east side, and the two armies flanked each other, so we don't have to worry about the pot pass! ”

Jin Liang remembered that the 20,000 weapons and armor given to the Feiyan Army by the Heavenly Mandate a few days ago were taken from the dead bodies of the rebels of the Jizhou family, but they were given to Zhang Yan for nothing. It still makes Jin Liang feel heartbroken, but since Zhang Yan has received Jin Liang's generous gift, if he doesn't send troops to help, it will be too much to say.

Guo Jia, who had dealt with Zhang Yan and was very familiar with the Feiyan Army, shook his head and said, "Lord, don't let Zhang Yan attack the West Gate!" ”

Jin Liang smiled and asked, "Fengxiao, what do you mean?" ”

Guo Jia stared at the sand table, but this sand table was made according to the map of Bingzhou, which is now full of errors and omissions, Guo Jia looked at it for a while, and barely saw some doorways, so he smiled bitterly: "The rebels of the Bingzhou family left more than 10,000 horses in Huguan, and Song Xian besieged Forget Worry Castle and 20,000 horses, and Huguan is dangerous, the city is high and deep, even if it is attacked from both sides, it is impossible to break through Huguan in ten days." Besides, the Feiyan army is flying in the mountains and forests, but it is impossible to stop the cavalry of the rebels in Bingzhou on the flat land, as long as the rebels in Huguan and Song Xian turn to besiege Zhang Yan, I am afraid that Zhang Yan's infantry will suffer heavy losses and will no longer actively cooperate with the actions of our army. ”

Jin Liang frowned and said, "Fengxiao, is it impossible for us to capture Huguan in these ten days?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and elaborated on his own ideas, Jin Liang stroked his palm and smiled: "It's so good, so let's do it." ”

Jin Liang repaired a letter, handed it to the messenger, and quickly sent it to Zhang Yan, the commander of the Feiyan army on Montenegro, and asked him to act according to the letter.

Considering that the 80,000 rebels of the Youzhou family, the 20,000 rebels of the remnants of the Jizhou family, and the 20,000 horses of the Bingzhou family rebels are all coming towards Handan, and Handan's defensive task is particularly heavy, Jin Liang asked Zhao Yun, the general of Zhiyong Shuangquan, to stay in Handan, and Tian Feng to join the army to assist him.

A few days ago, the official road ambush lured more than 54,000 poor soldiers, and after the attack on Handan City, more than 21,000 county soldiers surrendered, plus the remaining more than 3,000 soldiers, a total of more than 78,000 troops surrendered, and later in the attack on the inner city of Handan, more than 8,000 people were killed in the battle, but nearly 30,000 people were wounded in repeated battles, after treatment, more than 21,000 people recovered and returned to the team, and more than 9,000 people with moderate or severe disabilities were shunted to the Tuntian Corps, and now there are 60,000 soldiers in Handan City to be reorganized.

When Jin Liang was in the camp of Bishui, there were 40,000 horses and horses in the guards division under his command, but he was eager to reinforce Xiangyang, and only brought back 20,000 'jing' cavalry from the front line, and the 20,000 'jing' cavalry consumed some after quelling the civil strife in Xiangyang, and allocated to Wang Yue and Chen to thousands of men and horses, and then lost some in the ambush of Liu Hui's rebels, and now he has less than 10,000 guards divisions, which makes Jin Liang particularly insecure.

Fortunately, Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and Wei Yan brought back 50,000 horses from the Bishui battalion, plus the 40,000 horses brought back by Huang Zhong before, these 90,000 horses almost did not suffer major losses, so Jin Liang returned the brigade revenue in the original Guards Division, and selected the 'elite' from other units of the whole army to fill the 40,000-strong Guards Division.

Jin Liang also allocated a battalion from the teaching brigade and a battalion from the Xuanfu brigade to disperse them into various units to fill the positions of middle- and lower-level commanders and soldiers who had been vacated by war casualties and reorganization, and then selected those who had command or Xuanfu ability from among the lower-level officers and men of each unit to form a teaching battalion and a Xuanfu battalion to fill the most 'elite' guard divisions of the Central Army.

In this way, the central army around Handan now has 40,000 horses of the Jinliang Guards Division, 20,000 horses of Zhao Yun's division, 20,000 horses of Xu Rong's division, and 20,000 horses of Wei Yue's division, and the remaining 30,000 soldiers have been converted into 5,000 county soldiers and 25,000 county soldiers according to their abilities, while the central army around Xiangyang has 20,000 horses of Gao Shun's division, 20,000 horses of Huang Zhong's division, 20,000 horses of the Janissary system, and more than 20,000 horses of county soldiers. There are more than 200,000 people and horses in Jinliang within a radius of hundreds of miles in Xiangyang, and they are not afraid of the rebels of the family at all.

Zhao Yun led 20,000 horses, and with the assistance of 30,000 county soldiers from poor backgrounds who did not share the sky with the big families, they would definitely be able to hold Handan.

Jin Liang personally led 40,000 horses from the Guards Division, 20,000 horses from Xu Rong's Division, and 20,000 horses from Wei Yue's Division, a total of 100,000 horses, preparing to use the power of lions and rabbits to break through Huguan and rescue the Castle of Forgetting Worries.
