Chapter 458: Guo Jia Uses Tactics to Break the Barbarian Soldiers (Medium)
The letters sent by Guo Jia before and after were so different that Qin Xu noticed some clues. Who is Guo Jia? That's a poem that says that Guo Fengxiao was born and a heroic character. Qin Xu didn't believe that Guo Jia, who could help Cao Cao lay down half of the country in history, would be so restrained in Jiangdong.
Qin Xu and Guo Jia have known each other for a long time, since they met in Chenliu County and used a few gourds to "trick" Guo Jia into Lu Bu's army, it has been two years now. And Qingzhou has experienced many dangerous situations in the past few years, and Qin Xu really hasn't seen Guo Jia have any worries.
is such a clever character, but now he has no place to ask for help, so he has to send someone to ask for help when the Qingzhou soldiers and the Danyang soldiers still don't know the outcome of the battle. What's more, among the forces in Jiangdong, Yuzhang Taishou Sun Ce is assisted by talents like Zhou Yu, and Mei Zhoulang's wisdom is also the number one among the geniuses in the late Han Dynasty, and it may be able to cause some trouble for Guo Jia, who is indeed short of major generals, but if the disparity in strength is not to a staggering point, it is estimated that it can only be trouble, and I am afraid that it is not even dangerous. Zhou Yu is still like this, let alone others. The letter actually said that Yan Baihu and Yan Yu's father and son were attacking very fiercely, and they had to ask Guo Jia to guard Fu Pass to strictly prevent Sun's Tai Shi Ci Xing Ye to return to Xiao Guan? Guo Jia uses soldiers, will he let the two Jiangdong and the two mountains have no tigers, and the thieves who are the kings of the monkeys will be pressed and beaten? Qin Xu is a hundred people who don't believe it. I intuitively feel that Guo Jia's two different letters must have their intentions.
Sure enough, after Qin Xu carefully read the letter sent by Guo Jia's order, he found the clue. What Guo Jia sent was not a silk book written on silk. Instead, the book was passed on in conventional wooden tablets, which were not large, but they were of different lengths and full four or five columns. Except for the title at the beginning and a brief description of the battle. Starting from the second column, the first sentence begins with "quickly send troops to rescue and so on", the second column begins with "at most 10 days of military rations and so on", the third column is "Dan is entrusted, dare not forget the gentleman's grace a little, and never ask for it", and the last column continues the previous sentence. It's "Qu to survive!" It seems that due to the sudden change in the war situation in Jiangdong, Guo Jiali is fighting hard, and the letter asking for help is full of urging troops. and the meaning of expressing oneself in the place of death and unyielding. But after all, Qin Xu was accustomed to reading books in later generations and watching them from left to right, and he felt a little strange at first glance, and then according to his current habits, he read Guo Jia's letter in a vertical row. This weird feeling and the worship of Guo Jiazhiji. Finally, Qin Xu saw some clues.
Hurry up to Danqu! It seems that the situation in Jiangdong is completely under Guo Jia's control, otherwise how could he still have the leisure to play such word games with Qin Xu.
Qu'a is the ancient name of the old land of Danyang in the pre-Qin period. Later, when it came to the Han Dynasty, the gimmick of Danfeng Chaoyang was taken, and Qu'a and Gu Danyang were assigned to Danyang County, and there was a Han generation. It is also called Danyang County by the name of Danqu. Guo Jia's letter. It's just playing such a hidden-head game.
Hurry to Danqu. It is said that Guo Jia believes in Qin Xu or is optimistic about the Qingzhou soldiers. But obviously, this big brother didn't take the matter of whether tens of thousands of Danyang soldiers could successfully hold Guangling, that is to say, when Qin Xu's side had not yet started a war with the Danyang soldiers, Guo Jia's side had already "arranged" Qin Xu's "task" for the next stage.
However, after Qin Xu stopped Zang Ba and others from wanting to rescue Guo Jia with righteous indignation, he saw that although Guo Jia made a small joke on the letter, it was still a little more faintly urging, Qin Xu knew that if Guo Jia had nothing to do, it would never be so boring that he could send a letter twice in a row in such a hurry, and immediately ordered the whole army, including the Danyang soldiers, to stop resting, and nearly 50,000 people were swept away, and the target was directly aimed at Danyang County.
This time the march was much faster than before. The Qingzhou soldiers and the Danyang soldiers, who had just fought in two compartments, each with casualties, seemed to be full of strength, and they may not have the intention of competing on the foot in private. Even if the two armies are foot soldiers, the marching speed is extremely fast, although the Qingzhou soldiers are endurance, but the Danyang soldiers can be because of the rumors that Danyang suffered a military disaster, and even the old master can rebel. Fortunately, the Mi family allocated grain in time, and there was the food that the Danyang soldiers had collected and hoarded in Guangling County before, so under such a rapid march, there was no situation where the soldiers could not keep up with the food, which was really an accident.
In the governance of Danyang County, there are not many good ports. Of course, even if there were, Qin Xu didn't have so many ships that could carry nearly 50,000 people to "deliver food". After all, Danyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it largely depends on its proximity to the riverside, and it is also mostly mountains and hills, with cliffs and cliffs, as long as there are enough arrows, it is completely a live target. At present, the safest path is to take the old road, go up the river, cross the river and pass the Jiangzhu that was stationed before, and turn into Xiaoguan.
Fortunately, Guangling was once regarded as an important town to defend against Yuan Shu and Sun's attack, and after Chen Deng succeeded Guangling Taishou, he knew that the focus of Lu Bu's strategy was in Jiangdong, so he also hoarded enough boats for the army to carry thousands of people across the river at a time, and it took more than half a day to assemble in Jiangzhu and after the soldiers rested for a night, he ordered Cao Xing to lead 5,000 Qingzhou soldiers from his headquarters to rush to Xiaoguan to investigate the situation of Liu Xuan's personal defense, and ordered Sun Guan Yin Li to lead 7,000 Qingzhou soldiers to Wu County to obey Guo Jia's men, Even if he understood that Guo Jia would be fine, Qin Xu was unwilling to let Guo Jia work too hard, and it would be good to have more soldiers. If it hadn't been for the earlier promise of the Danyang soldiers to go to Danyang together, Qin Xu would have sent all the Danyang soldiers to Wu County and let Guo Jia call them to resist Sun Ce. And Qin Xu left fierce people such as Dian Wei and the trapping iron triangle on the side, with 3,000 Qingzhou soldiers and nearly 30,000 Danyang soldiers as the Chinese army, while raising the morale of the soldiers, while waiting for Xuzhou to open up the grain road, and then make the next step. And the news that Cao Bao brought back here made Qin Xu somewhat understand Guo Jia's final intentions.
Yamagoe people! Attacking Xiaoguan, it was Shanyue people who made Liu Miao anxious! Qin Xu only remembered that in history, the Shanyue alien clan had made the Sun clan in Jiangdong anxious, starting from Sun Jian, until the Sun family, who was later called the emperor and the lord of Jiangdong, did not eliminate this rear trouble. It is also one of the main reasons why the territory that the Sun clan can control has not been out of the Jiangdong category from beginning to end, and can only be trapped in one place, and has not competed with Cao Cao and Liu Bei for hegemony in the Central Plains. Therefore, it stands to reason that in the Jiangdong chaos that is obviously controlled by the Sun clan behind this time, the Shanyue people who have a feud with the Sun clan in history are the most unlikely to appear.
But in this time and space, I don't know what kind of means Sun Ce used, and he actually intersected with Yuzhang County, which is closest to Shanyue's activity area, and even without knowing what price he paid, he was able to reconcile with Yan's father and son, and let the Shanyue soldiers use it to jointly target Lu Bujun's Jiangdong strategy.
But the facts are already in front of us. If the rabble of the Yan clan alone lent them twice as many troops, it might not be able to cause any substantial damage to Xiao Pass, which Yuan Shu thought was the Great Wall at the beginning. But if you add the Shanyue people who are the best at running in the mountains and mountains, and let the Sun family have a headache all their lives, participate in it, let alone Liu Xuan's Wu Jun soldiers, even the same amount of Qingzhou soldiers are facing each other this time, and Qin Xu is not sure that he will be able to defeat them in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, the news sent back by Cao Bao said that although there were Shanyue aliens involved in the Xiaoguan war, the number of people was only about 5,000. Presumably, it may be because the Yan father and son are also wary of Sun Ce's intention to annex it, or the population of Shanyue is not large enough to accumulate too many troops to fight across the border. This can be regarded as a shock to Qin Xu, and he is really relieved.
After learning of this situation, Qin Xu also quickly adjusted his strategy. The reason why Xiao Guan had to defend Liu Jian in person was that on the one hand, he was embarrassed to get along with Guo Jia, and he urgently needed to "prove" that he did not rely on Lu Bujun in terms of war, on the other hand, it was also relative to Fuguan, Xiao Guan was the most important pass in Wu County's own territory, and before the chaos in Jiangdong was peaceful, Liu Xuan, who was appointed by the Han Emperor as the pastor of Yangzhou, was also really worried about repeating the old thing of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, the predecessor of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, who handed over all the defense lines in the territory to others and finally governed the territory to others. Of course, although the latter words are also true, they will never come out of Liu Xuan's mouth, after all, there are really a lot of soldiers in the Lu Bu army in Yangzhou now, Liu Xiang is fed up with the embarrassment of being driven away from Yangzhou, his own territory, and this time he is also a lot more tactful.
But Liu Miao also really overestimated his ability and Sun's determination to plot in Jiangdong. Xiao Guan is the most important gateway between Wu County and other counties in Yangzhou, and I think that in the original situation, Sun Ce can accept Qin Xu's "suggestion", and would rather trap himself in the difficult land of Yuzhang, but also maintain Sun's independence...... (Li), it is enough to see Sun's ambitions. This time, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of Lu Bu's army was caught in the war in Hebei, this is a great opportunity that has not been encountered in a thousand years, Sun Ce would rather put aside the hatred with Liu Biao for killing his father, and put all the family wealth on the ground, and even the temporary reputation can be avoided, and even the Shanyue alien race has also been recruited, and the determination is so great that it can be seen.
More than 20,000 Yan army's troops and the incorporated Yuan Shu generals, the more elite the 5,000 mountains, the stronger they are, this kind of formation, it is no wonder that Liu Miao can't support it. And Guo Jia must also know Liu Xuan's embarrassment, but maybe Fuguan was attacked by the Sun family, and he really couldn't spare manpower to come back to help, on the other hand, it may not be that he didn't take advantage of this incident to let Liu Xuan, who has an extremely ambiguous relationship with Yangzhou Mu, see that even if the main force of Lu Bu's army is outside, he has enough strength to sweep Jiangdong away. It is also to persuade Liu Miao to be more interesting and make the right "choice".
Guo Jia's plan to count birds with one stone, this is to completely stir up Jiangdong! (To be continued......)
