Now the situation in Yangcheng is that there is no way out, and the enemy can't get in. The northern Yuyuan Pass was firmly grasped in his hands, and Dong Zhuojun could only guard outside the pass. Yuzhou and Jingzhou in the south are relatively weak, and after the Xun family's initial attack failed, they surrounded it but did not fight, intending to spend it all the time.

Guo Jia pointed to Si Li's map and said, "Go north from Yuyuan Pass, bypass Luoyang, and go to Hanoi County." ”

Fan Xindao: "Now Dong Zhuo has sent heavy troops to station in Wushi County, which has blocked the exit of Yuyuan Pass. What's more, we need to transport grain and grass when we go north, and how to cross the river is also a problem. ”

"Yes." Guo Yi agreed, and said: "Our soldiers carry rations for three or five days at most, and if they can't take a base area in Hanoi, they will really run out of ammunition and food." ”

"So we need to wait." Guo Jia said: "Now the princes of Guanzhong have begun to gear up, just waiting for an excuse to raise troops to fight Dong, and then our army can take advantage of the chaos to go north." ”

Fan Xindao: "Why don't you occupy Luoyang just now?" ”

Guo Jia sneered: "Luoyang is useless! Dong Thief is ruthless and has lost his conscience. Once the heroes rise together, the Dong thieves will inevitably retreat westward to Chang'an. When the capital is moved, the imperial tomb will be excavated and the city will be burned. However, the entire radius of Luoyang will be a ruin for a hundred miles, if we occupy this place, we will become a mezzanine between the princes and the Dong thieves, and we will definitely die! ”

"But in front of this is Taihang Mountain!" Guo Yi was very uncertain, his means of transport were already advanced, but it was a fool's dream to cross Taihang Mountain under the condition of continuous pursuit. What's more, Shangdang County is surrounded by Taihang Mountain, Wangwu Mountain, and Taiyue Mountain, with high terrain and many dangers, which is the threshold of the Central Plains.

If you can occupy this place, the development prospects are naturally much better than Yangzhou. If you go south, you can take Guanzhong, and if you go east, you can take Jizhou, which is a place where soldiers must fight.

This kind of place also means that if you want to capture it, you need to pay a huge price!

However, Guo Yi now has only 6,000 soldiers. 1,300 cavalrymen, 500 archers, 1,500 infantry, 1,500 engineers, 500 scouts, more than 800 logistics troops. The 2,800 engineers, scouts, and logistics troops did not directly go into battle to kill the enemy. The combat force is only 3,300 people, and it is too difficult to take down the party with this little force!

Of course, Guo Jia has thought about these problems, and he also has a considerable degree of understanding of Guo Yi's strength. Asked rhetorically: "Does the general know who belongs to the party now?" ”

Guo Yi said: "After Dong Thief took control of the government, there were many transfers of officials from all over the country, which is really unclear. ”

"Black Mountain Thief!" Guo Jia smiled, his tone was relaxed, and said: "Today's merger is no longer a big Han country. Except for Shangdang County and Taiyuan County, the rest of the counties were owned by the Xiongnu. The people of Shangdang and Taiyuan have long been oppressed by the Black Mountain thieves, and as soon as the general arrives, he will inevitably gather to respond, and the general will not have to worry about it. ”

"Zhang Yan?" Guo Yi held his chin, Zhang Yan still has some strategy, and he was almost planted in his hands when he debuted. In history, this person has also become Yuan Shao's confidant, and he has to pay a price for despising him.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "General Su Wen defeated Zhang Yan when he was just starting out and made the first contribution. You must have a lot of experience with Black Mountain thieves, right? ”

"That's true." Guo Yi also smiled, no matter how much he could, he wouldn't be able to defeat a group of bandits, right? The technical and tactical level of the two sides is completely out of the same level.

"What do you think? It's a matter of life and death, just say it. ”

Fan Xin said worriedly: "Yangcheng is a pass, I'm afraid that if Jingzhou and Yuzhou want to go north, they will come to plot against us." How do we respond? ”

Guo Jia said disdainfully: "Liu Biao, guard the dog's ears!" If he is favored by Dong Thief, he will definitely not respond to the princes, so you can rest assured! There is no history of state pastors and assassins in the land of Yuzhou, and the county guards are not enough to defeat the generals. What's more, the princes of Shandong do not have the heart to support the Han family, and they will definitely not come to the general to touch the mold and lose their strength! ”

Fan Xin asked again, "But when will the Shandong princes raise troops?" ”

"In about three months."

"Why?"

Guo Jia said: "Yuan Benchu was looking for a person with high morality and respect, forged an edict, and used it to raise troops. With Yuan Benchu's fame, within three months, this matter will be done! ”

"Good! That's it! Guo Yi made a decision, and said with a smile: "Fengxiao said to offer three plans to me, the first plan saved my life, and I am looking forward to the last two plans." ”

Guo Jia just smiled slightly, "The general is benevolent, righteous and virtuous, and Feng Xiao is ashamed." ”

Guo Yi waved his hand, "No need." ”

After the meeting, with goals and plans, everyone had a bottom in their hearts, and their anxious hearts settled down for the time being.

Guo Yi sat alone in the room and whispered, "Ross, how is the situation in Changshan Kingdom?" ”

Rose hid in the darkness and whispered, "Madame, all is well." General Zilong is still keeping filial piety at home, and has no intention of going out of the mountain. The master's reputation in his homeland is still very high, and although the court has a will, no one dares to touch the master's family. ”

"Okay." Guo Yi put his mind at ease, as long as Zhao Rou is fine.

Now the situation in Yangzhou is not optimistic, the communication is cut off, and it is difficult for scouts to get out of Yuzhou. The news brought by Hua Tuo said that Jiankang can still hold on and should not be a problem.

But everything has long nights and dreams. If he loses contact for a long time, if Pound thinks that he can paint the land and become the king, it will be a big deal, and his wife is still in his hands. Even if Pound doesn't think so, it doesn't mean that his subordinates don't think so, and there are many incidents in history where yellow robes abound.

"Alas, take a step, count it as a step."

Yangzhou. Cai Yan was very anxious, this small Jiangxia County couldn't be attacked. The enemy general Huang Zu did not leak a drop in defending the city, and with Jingzhou as a backup, the supplies were sufficient. The situation on my side is much more difficult, there is no way out, there is no backup, and the situation of the team is complicated, it is simply internal and external troubles.

Yang Yu sorted out the paperwork, handed it to her for sealing, and said slowly: "For today's plan, we can only balance them, once one of them has the upper hand, we will be in danger." ”

Cai Yan nodded and said with a wry smile: "They won't kill us, right?" ”

Yang Yu said: "If they become their own masters, you and I will become their trophies." ”

Cai Yan felt deeply tired, she was only a fourteen-year-old girl, and she didn't know anything else except reading and having fun on weekdays, and now she was asked to manage such a group of tigers and wolves, which was really like sitting on pins and needles. "How did the husband control them?"

"Without him, it's just prestige. The husband's achievements today are all flesh and blood. We are two women, difficult. ”

Cai Yan shook his head, wanting to get rid of all these troubles, and said: "I heard that they were invincible before, but who knew that now they can't even take a small county town." If it drags on like this, the morale of the army will change. ”

Yang Yu sighed and said, "I can only hope that my husband will break through smoothly and be able to go south to join us." ”

"What if my husband doesn't go south?"

Cai Yan suddenly came up with such a sentence, which startled Yang Yu, and hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

Cai Yan thought for a while and said, "With Fujun's character, it is likely that he will go north directly to seize Guanzhong, and we may not be able to wait for Fujun to come to help." ”

"If that's the case, we'll have a hard time." Yang Yu frowned, and couldn't think of any countermeasures for a while.

"Only outwitted." Cai Yan seemed to have a sudden flash of inspiration, came up with an idea, and said with a resolute expression: "We don't need to capture any city in Jiangxia or Jingzhou, as long as we pass smoothly." ”

Yang Yu shook his head again and again, vetoing this idea, "How can Jingzhou allow us to pass like this?" ”

Cai Yan was very confident in himself, and said with a smile: "I have a way, you can try." Let's talk to them together. ”

"Okay." Yang Yu didn't know what her idea was, so she sent an order to summon Long San, Pang De and others.
