Chapter 218: A Plan to Cut Troops
Xun You's eyelids blinked slightly, stroked his beard and was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Xun has been counted many times, this plan to cut troops is foolproof, and the enemy's decision-making still needs to be controlled by Feng Xiao." ”
If you talk about strategy, maybe Xun You and Guo Jia are inferior, but when it comes to decision-making in the face of the enemy, it is obvious that Guo Jia is a step ahead, but it does not mean that Xun You is not strong.
Guo Jia stretched out tiredly, and said with a lazy smile: "It's another hard-fought battle, and Guo has become a little tired......
Xun You chuckled and said: "Fengxiao is not tired, but inexplicably excited, if you don't rack your brains, how can you be tired?" ”
"Perhaps?" Guo Jia smiled faintly, turned to look at the bottom of the hillside, and said loudly: "You are waiting to bring the troops back to the Wei'an camp, and you have waited for the order of a certain commander." ”
"The last general commands!" There were thousands of soldiers of the Cao army hidden under the hillside, and these soldiers had been in ambush for several hours, and when they heard Guo Jia's order, they immediately led the army back as the leader.
"Alas...... The general who leads the troops is a little stretched. Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh lightly, in this battle with Yuan Shu, almost all the generals of the Cao army were in Yuzhou, but they were still a little insufficient, or perhaps, the generals of the Cao army at this moment could not really be alone.
What Guo Jia said, secretly agreed with Xun You's thoughts, Xun You turned to face Guo Jia, and said softly: "You might as well transfer Cao Hong to return, around Gecheng, it is enough for Zi Xiaozhi to maneuver around, and the main battlefield of our army is still in Weishui." ”
"Good, that's it." Guo Jia bowed his head and ordered: "Investigate the horse and report urgently, and spread that Cao Hong of Gecheng will return quickly." ”
Xun You asked softly again: "This battle Yuan Shu has been shown in the view of filial piety, should it be shown to be weak?" Or has it been overpowered? ”
Guo Jia and Xun You both knew in their hearts that Yuan Shu had a deep fear of Cao's army, and at this moment he raised 100,000 troops, but he did not dare to attack rashly when he was already in the city, which can be seen.
If Yuan Shujun is unwilling to fight a decisive battle with Cao's army, the situation of Cao's army is quite unfavorable, and not to mention that Yanzhou's grain and grass are almost insufficient, but if Yuan Shu abandons Weishui Pass, but instead stationing troops on the Cao army's border and waiting for a good opportunity, then Cao's army must at least allocate half of its troops to defend the city near Weishui Pass, and also guard against Yuan Shujun's sneak attack at any time.
If this is the case, in terms of the overall situation, Cao Jun is already defeated, because, at this moment, Yanzhou is not under Cao Cao's full control, and the reason is those families.
However, Yuan Shu sat in Yuzhou, and the output of its grain, grass, soldiers and horses was several times that of Cao's army, and the army was pressed by Chen soldiers outside Weishui Pass, so Cao's army was naturally unable to march east and west, and in the long run, Cao's army had no advantage at all.
And now Yuan Shu already has a deep fear of Cao Jun in his heart, if Cao Jun beats Yuan Shu a few times, I am afraid that Yuan Shu will not have the courage to snatch Weishui Pass, the more so, the more unfavorable it is to Cao Jun.
Xun Yu said this, that is, to ask Guo Jia, whether to show weakness to Yuan Shu, make Yuan Shu arrogant and wave his troops to detain the pass, or has the army been strong, defeated Yuan Shu several times in a row, and when Cao Cao's reinforcements arrive, he will make a move to break Runan.
One is to show weakness, and the other is to be powerful.
Guo Jia raised his eyes and looked around, looking at the snow around him as if it could make his thinking clearer, the wind swept the snow, with a trace of snowflakes blowing on his face, Guo Jia brushed his sleeves to cover his face, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled faintly, as if he had calculated all the changes on both sides in this instant.
"It's better to be powerful and weak." Guo Jia looked back and smiled faintly.
"Huh? What does this mean? Xun You was a little stunned, his brows were tightly locked, his eyes were already right, and he suddenly smiled softly, and said: "Good, you will get a good plan in an instant, and the king of decision-making is none other than Fengxiao." ”
"Return to the camp and celebrate!" Guo Jialang smiled, brushed his sleeves and got on the horse, Xun You laughed lightly, shook his head with a smile and followed.
Guo Jia turned over and got on his horse, and suddenly saw Cao Jun exploring the horse galloping in front of him.
"Captain, a general will come to the gate, and lead a hundred horsemen, which is sent by the lord." The horse walked in front of Guo Jia, and immediately turned over and dismounted and knelt on one knee.
"Oh?" Guo Jia smiled, a little happy in his heart, he just felt that the generals under his command were a little stretched, Cao Cao had already sent the generals to support, it can be described as a tacit understanding, Guo Jia asked: "Who is coming?" ”
"Yangping Weiguo people, surnamed Le, named Jin, and humble in words." Tanma replied.
"Good! Another tiger will be added! Guo Jia smiled loudly, happy in his heart.
He knew in his heart that the Lejin was one of the five good generals, although this person was slightly inferior to Zhang Liao and others in terms of strategy and tactics, but he was definitely a member of the fierce generals, and his bravery was not even under Zhang Liao.
"Cao Chunjun can return? What about the damage? Guo Jia walked away and asked again.
"It has entered the Weishui Pass, with a total of more than 270 soldiers." Tanma reported again.
"Okay, it's worthy of being my Cao Jun Tiger and Wolf Force!" Guo Jia looked sideways at Xun You and said with a faint smile: "Zihe's battle is the first meritorious." ”
"Yes." Xun Yu replied with a stroke, but his emotions were a little helpless, because he sighed in his heart: "The first merit of this battle is to serve filial piety......
If it weren't for Guo Jia's anticipation of the enemy's opportunity, taking into account all the changes in the battle situation between the two sides, and having already disturbed Zhou Yu's heart, how could Cao Jun be able to defeat Sun Ce's army so easily.
Guo Jia didn't know what Xun You was thinking, smiled loudly, rode his horse away, and Xun You and the guards beside him followed.
……
……
Not long after, in Weishui Pass.
Guo Jia had already led everyone to ride their horses back, Guo Jia handed the war horse under his crotch to the young general next to him and asked, "Where is General Le?" Where is Cao Chunjun? ”
The young general immediately replied: "Soldiers and soldiers Cao Chunjun are resting in the school field in Guannai, and General Le is also in the school field. ”
"Lejin is a person, and he is also a general." Guo Jia bowed his head, smiled faintly, and walked straight to the Guannai school field side by side with Xun You.
After a short time, the two of them had arrived outside the school field, and when they looked around, they saw that the military doctor and the Cao soldiers were busy outside, while the injured Cao soldiers were sitting on the ground and began to bandage their wounds.
Cao Chun was covered in blood, and he hadn't even disarmed himself at this moment, and he was constantly arranging military doctors to bandage and treat his injuries for his soldiers.
Seeing this, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh lightly: "It's really a matter of stopping desire!" ”
"Zihe is like this, and the combat strength of the soldiers is like this." Xun You also sighed lightly, and the two stepped forward side by side.
Seeing this, Cao Chun immediately arched his hand and said, "The last general will meet the marshal, meet the gentleman." ”
Guo Jia glanced at Cao Chun with admiration and asked, "Why didn't Zihe unsolve the armor and test the flaws?" "Guo Jia is asking knowingly, not Guo Jia is finding fault, but testing Cao Chun.
Understand and ask questions to see their virtues. From "Liutao, Long Tao, Selected Generals" is to explain the moral and talented people who have been examined for some reason.
Cao Chun smiled awkwardly and said: "Back to the commander, if the generals don't know the cold and heat of the soldiers under their command, and they are hungry, how can the soldiers go first and go first." Cao Chun knew that Guo Jia was well-read, and this remark was not to show off the art of war in front of Guo Jia, but to explain the reason for his move.
