Chapter 36: Guo Jia's Scheme
"Let's take a look. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" said Cao Cao handed over the news from his ears and eyes to Wenwu Chuan to see.
Wenchen is not like the previous life, there is Xun Yu in the first place, at this time it is Xun Yu who stands, Guo Jia Chengyu and others follow, and the generals are ranked first by Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren and others are attached to the back, although Pei Xingyan is brave and brave, Cao Cao's generals are very admired, but after all, the qualifications are not enough, but at this time they are ranked at the end.
"Lord, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an, and Guo Yan is personally in charge, if he attacks strongly, he will inevitably suffer heavy casualties." Xun You stood up and said.
"Bong-hyo, tell me what you think." Cao Cao happened to see Guo Jia, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, and directly named him.
Guo Jia knew that he couldn't hide, so he stood up and arched his hand: "Jia thinks that now Hangu Pass is under the control of the lord, and Chang'an is shaking and looking at each other, only Tongguan is blocked in the middle, but Tongguan is looking at the north and south, and it will not be inferior to the Tiger Pass, so it is better to be cautious." ā
At this time, Xiahoudun walked out: "Lord, the last general thinks that this battle must be fought, although Chang'an is steep, but close to Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou and other places, taking him is equivalent to taking the lead." ā
Cao Cao nodded noncommittally, this is the truth, it is a great temptation for him, so he is a little uncertain.
Cheng Yu is a conservative person, but he also knows that this is an opportunity, and at this time he said: "The lord's intention is in Chang'an, but our Luoyang is not yet calm, and our subordinates are also short of soldiers and food, and rashly launching a large-scale war may outweigh the losses." ā
Cao Cao swept his eyes and saw that Guo Jia was still dodging, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and pointed at him and said, "Fengxiao, I think you can solve our doubts." ā
Guo Jia hid once, vaguely, and now called him by name, knowing that he couldn't say anything if he hid again, so he said sincerely: "The Wancheng Imperial Court has a deep hatred for Dong Zhuo's relics, and we can borrow a knife to kill people." ā
Cao Cao frowned: "The Wancheng Imperial Court is now short of soldiers and major generals, and it is inferior to us, so I borrowed a knife but I don't know if it was a sharp blade or a blunt knife." ā
"How can Jiazhi's strategy be so simple, the lord can notify the Wancheng court, the army will be sent to the martial arts, then Zhang Xiu will personally lead the army to go out, I heard that after Lu Bu surrendered to Wancheng, the righteous daughter who loved Wang Yun was fascinated, this battle must be the vanguard, I heard that when Dong Zhuo was still there, Guo Yan and Lu Bu had a suspicion, what do you say this time the two of them will meet."
Xun You didn't agree very much: "In this way, if the Wancheng Imperial Court successfully wins Wuguan with our cooperation, and then points to Chang'an, then we won't even be able to drink the soup." ā
Guo Jia laughed, but it was cold on a sunny day in June: "Since you want to kill someone, then borrow a few more knives to prevent muddy the water, which will help the lord catch fish." ā
"What do you say?"
I heard that a few days ago, King Li personally named his cousin as the general of Annam, and now he is guarding in Xie Liang and Wenxi, as long as the lord persuades him to go west to Dangkou, Hanoi will be lent to Li Jing at that time, and when Shouyang Mountain is close to Tongguan, he will inevitably intervene."
Cao Cao nodded, but his brows were tightly locked, and he had his own considerations: "I have met with King Li twice, but I have been studying him in private, it can be said that this person is not profitable and cannot afford to be early, in the past, when King Li still really set the county order, there will be only one or two people, and there are only hundreds of soldiers, at that time, he is at his own risk every time he sends troops, but it is precisely in this way that he can see this person's caution and strategy, if you study carefully, it is not difficult to find that he has all the best preparations every time he is involved in danger, and this rashly let him garrison Hanoi, I am afraid it will not be satisfactory." ā
Guo Jiahe laughed, his understanding of King Li is no worse than Cao Cao: "In this way, it depends on whether the interests can arouse the interest of King Li, I heard that Yang Zaixing under King Li is now guarding Yanmen, and Zhao Yun's department is guarding Huguan, which is peaceful in the north and east, but it is adjacent to the Yellow River in the south, and Luoyang has more lords in person, General Annan said that it is to resist Li Dao Guo Yan, but how can he not be wary of the heart of the lord, there are Shangjun in the west, and the north has not yet been recovered, but the vast Gobi is not overnight, The lord only needs to send a lobbyist who can speak well, understand it with reason, move it with affection, and King Li has his own plans. ā
"In that case, what profit will you use to tempt him to send troops?"
"There is no need for interests, smart people have a scale in their hearts, he will measure it himself, King Li seems to be not ambitious, and he has followed the footsteps of the court all the way, but as long as he has the heart to observe, he will be able to catch the tail of his ambition."
Cao Cao's brows gradually expanded: "In this case, who will be sent to be a lobbyist." ā
"Jia Bucai, I am willing to go to the court."
"Very good, I ordered Cao Hong to order a thousand horsemen to escort Fengxiao to the upper hall."
Guo Jia waved his hand and refused: "The lord and King Li have no enmity in the past few days, and there is no grievance in the past, and sending a cavalry to accompany him will inevitably fall behind. ā
Speaking of the generals, Cao Cao couldn't help but set his eyes on Dian Wei: "Dian Wei had a relationship with King Li in the past, and he had a sympathy with his brother-in-law Zhao Yun, so he could accompany him." ā
Guo Jia shook his head: "Captain Pei has been with the lord for a long time, and he can't be easily transferred, Captain Pei has the courage of ten thousand people, and he will definitely arouse the interest of King Li." ā
Cao Cao thought about it: "Then order Pei Xingyan to guard Fengxiao, don't think about the way back, and try to avoid danger." ā
"Jia Shengde."
Thousands of miles alone, Guo Jia and Pei Xingyan each packed up their salutes and set off, as for the Wancheng court, Cao Cao planned to go in person, not only to persuade the court to send troops, but also to boil frogs in warm water and deepen the good feeling with Xun Yu.
The land of Xiliang, although it is not a desert everywhere, but it is also sparsely populated, not only for reasons such as climate, but also for the Qiang and other wandering peoples, although Ma Teng served under Dong Zhuo, he wandered in the desert and killed the Qiang people, but with the deterioration of the situation in the Central Plains, many tribes of the Qiang people began to move again.
Wu Xitong led 30,000 soldiers to the north of Xinping, and Jia Xu planned to give up support for stability and directly stop the 30,000 soldiers led by Han Sui.
"Fifty miles to the southwest, there is a cavalry army of about 10,000 people, which is marching towards stability." The scouts rushed to report.
"What a banner?" Wu Xi commanded the army for the first time, which seemed a little cramped.
"There are four flags, on which are Liang, Yang, Cheng, and Ma."
Jia Xu nodded: "It should be four of the eight horsemen of Qiben, and now that Han Sui is out of the old camp, don't care about these wings, and then go to explore." ā
"The enemy army is only 10,000 people, why don't you cover up and kill on the spot, and you can still pick up a merit." Wu Xi said dumbfounded.
Jia Xu glanced at him, although he didn't want to answer, but after all, he was the main general: "We were born in Xiliang, don't you hear that Xiliang is rich in war horses, it is a unique in the world, Han Sui Ma Teng's cavalry has been fighting with the Qiang people in Serbia all the year round, everyone is tall and big, murderous and awe-inspiring, this new recruit of 30,000 foot soldiers rashly covered up, even if it succeeds, it will suffer heavy casualties, not to mention that the power of the cavalry lies in the rush to kill, the land of Xiliang itself is extremely flat, if you rush to kill, there is only one result, that is, you and I are captured." ā
After Jia Xu finished speaking, he secretly scolded in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that he was Guo Yan's cronies, he was a little brave, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to take his turn to be the main general, and he really thought that the eight horsemen of Qiben were like wine bags and rice bags?
Originally, it was not Wu Xi's turn to send reinforcements this time, but Major General Chang'an, as long as the reinforcements were delivered to Stability, the reason why Jia Xu was sent with the army was also to deal with emergencies.
After waiting for a day, Han Sui's army finally came, with 30,000 foot soldiers mixed with thousands of cavalry, which looked black and oppressive.
At the same time, Han Sui also got a scout to report that there were 30,000 troops stationed in the north of Xinping, and from the Shuai Qi, it was Guo Yan's department, and it was not surprising that it was to reinforce the army of Anding.
Han Sui was overjoyed, the terrain around Xinping was flat, and he still had thousands of cavalry to charge and kill for the flanks, which could be described as a feat.
"Liang Xing, turn the horse's head, march in the direction of Xinping, and enter a state of readiness." After speaking, he looked at the generals on the other side: "Cheng Yi, Ma Play, the two of you count the number of cavalry, each command a one, hang on the left side, march in a wing-shaped formation, and be ready to rush and kill at any time." ā
"Yes." The three of them went down separately to make arrangements, and Han Sui only left Yang Qiu and rode together, without planning to notify the vanguard in front of him to turn the horse's head, completely confident.
On the other side, Jia Xu was instructing the soldiers to fill in the horse rejection pit, and the branches of dead wood were erected below, which was very infiltrating.
"General, you need to send thousands of archers as bait later, otherwise according to Han Sui's character, he will definitely not rashly launch a general attack."
Before leaving, Guo Yan had explained that he should listen to Jia Xu's advice, but if he followed Jia Xu's plan, thousands of his brothers would not be able to come back.
Wu Xi can be extremely cruel to the enemy, but he is a little unbearable to his brothers and comrades, Jia Xu knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he arranged it himself.
