Chapter 244: Guo Jia's Judgment
Read the full text
Yuan's movements were soon transmitted back to Zhuyi through Cao's sentinels.
After listening to Cao Chun's report, Cao Ren stood up in shock: "What did you say, Yuan Jun turned around"
Guo Jia, who seemed to be asleep, also opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes revealed a terrifying essence.
What is the situation, the military division prepared a sumptuous feast in Zhuyi, but the guests ran away halfway
At that moment, Guo Jia hurriedly got up, walked quickly to the screen where the map was hung, and fell into deep thought about the map, but soon the corners of Guo Jia's mouth showed a smile again.
Over there, Cao Chun reported to Cao Ren in detail the discovery of the sentry cavalry, and said: "The sentry cavalry reported that just about half an hour ago, the main force of the Yuan army, which had just passed Daze, suddenly turned around and headed west, towards Dan County, and then the forward cavalry of the Yuan army, which had already passed the Tiger Pavilion, also turned around and went west. ”
"Dan County" Cao Ren frowned and said, "What did Yuan go to Dan County to do?"
Cao Chun said: "Brother, after Dan County is Chengfu County, Ji Ling's department is currently besieged by Xu Huang in Zhanghuatai, Yuan Wei Xiao'er may have received Ji Ling's messenger, he is planning to go to Zhanghuatai to pick up Ji Ling." ”
Cao Ren said: "Didn't Xu Huang say that Zhang Huatai had been surrounded by him, and not a single fly could fly, how could there be a messenger to report to Yuan No?"
Cao Chun said: "Xu Huang is mostly bragging, he only has 5,000 men and horses, how can he surround more than 2,000 Yuan troops and still can't get through, it's nonsense." ”
"No, it won't." Cao Ren shook his head and said, "Xu Huang is not such a person. ”
"What General Zixiao said is extremely true, General Xu Huang is definitely not a person who talks about it." Guo Jia, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "He said that he had trapped Ji Ling's department, so he must have been trapped, and there will be no falsehood." ”
"Then why did Yuan No's department suddenly go west, and how can I explain this" Cao Ren looked at Guo Jia with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Strategist, didn't you say that Yuan No'er would definitely come to Zhuyi?"
The expression on Guo Jia's face stiffened slightly, and Cao Ren's words made him feel a little embarrassed.
However, Guo Jia knew that Cao Ren was such a character, although his words were impulsive, he was not to the public, not to the private, not to the people, so he didn't take it to heart.
After pondering for a moment, Guo Jia said: "Yuan Jun's sudden turn is nothing more than two possibilities. ”
Cao Ren asked, "What are the two possibilities?"
Guo Jia said: "The first possibility is that Yuan Wei has seen through our calculations and decided to take Liangjun or Chenliu instead, but I think this possibility is very small. ”
Cao Ren said: "Why is the military advisor so confident?"
Guo Jia said: "First, we did not have obvious mistakes, and secondly, Yuan Jun wanted to cross Liang County or Chenliu County but it was more difficult than Pei County, in Pei County, Yuan Jun only needed to enter Xuzhou territory, our army did not dare to pursue too deeply because of Lu Bu, but in Liang County or Chen Liujun, our army can have no scruples and chase hard. ”
Cao Ren nodded, and continued: "What about the second possibility?"
Guo Jia continued: "The second possibility is that Yuan Fu is actually playing tricks. ”
Cao Ren was surprised: "What is the mystery of the mystery?"
Guo Jia said again: "I don't know if the general has ever observed birds"
"Birds" Cao Ren said angrily, "Why am I observing that thing?"
Guo Jia smiled and continued: "When most birds return to the nest, they will not fly back from the sky in a daze, but will fly far away from the nest, and then walk back quietly from the ground, so that its natural enemies can not judge the location of his nest from its actions, which is a kind of self-preservation instinct of birds." ”
Cao Ren suddenly realized and said: "The military advisor means that Yuan will come back."
"Yes, will Yuan come back," Guo Jia said in a determined tone, "He will definitely come back." ”
After a pause, and after Cao Ren digested his judgment, Guo Jia said again: "The reason why Yuan Nuo suddenly turned around was actually just to test our reaction, so as to judge whether there was an ambush in our Zhuyi Water Village must be admitted, my previous judgment of Yuan Nuo is still a little wrong, Yuan Nuo is used to taking risks, which is indeed true, but he will only use risks when he is cornered, in normal times, he is more cautious than we imagined." ”
Cao Ren asked again: "Then what should we do now, do we want to pursue it?"
"Can't be pursued." Guo Jia shook his head and said, "As soon as we pursue, we will be exposed, not only will we not be able to pursue, but we also need to raise the alert level of Zhuyi, except for those who have general's arrows, no one is allowed to enter or leave the water village; Within 100 steps of the periphery, idle people, etc., are forbidden to approach, and violators will be killed."
Cao Ren was puzzled: "Why is this?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "General don't be anxious, you will know when the time comes." ”
Dividing line
Yuan Wei's army is marching along the official road towards Danxian County.
Although the army passed through endless plains, Yuan still ordered the cavalry battalion to disperse the scout cavalry nearly twenty miles away to prevent Cao's army from ambushing.
As a traverser, no one knows the importance of intelligence better than Yuan Wei.
Especially for a lone army that is deep into enemy territory and surrounded by enemies, intelligence is even more indispensable, otherwise, you will die without knowing how to die.
Liu Ye hit the horse and followed Yuan No, and asked, "Son, we really want to go to Xuchang"
Yuan Wei didn't respond positively, but just looked at Liu Ye with a smile, and asked rhetorically: "Ziyang, what do you say?"
Although Liu Ye is not a top strategist, he is also an extremely smart person, as soon as he saw Yuan Fu's expression, he immediately reacted and whispered: "Childe, if you want to attack the east and west, we will put on a posture of marching to Xuchang with great fanfare, just to confuse Cao Jun, in fact, the real target is still Zhuyi." ”
"Why can't it be a concealment" Yuan Wei smiled and said, "Cao Jun thinks that I don't dare to go deep into the hinterland of Yanzhou, and they all think that my fanfare to march into Xuchang is just a pretense, hehe, but I want to do the opposite, go deep into Yanzhou, and give Cao Cao a big surprise, hey, hey, Cao Cao will definitely like it." ”
"Hide from the sky and cross the sea, this, this" Liu Ye's thinking was messy again.
Could it be that Gongzi is playing the real Gongzi really wants to take more than 2,000 lonely troops to fight Xuchang God, Xuchang is Cao Cao's lair, no matter how empty the garrison is, there are 35,000 troops after all, even if these 35,000 people are not elite soldiers, they can be used to defend the city, but it is more than enough, not to mention that the Cao army can also mobilize the people of Xuchang to help defend the city.
Liu Ye's whole person is not good, this is really crazy, too crazy, to rely on more than 2,000 people to defeat Xuchang, how can it be that if you can't beat Xuchang, what's the point of running to Xuchang for hundreds of miles?
Yuan Fu suddenly sighed and said, "Actually, I'm just thinking about it. ”
Attacking Xuchang and stabbing Cao Jun in the heart, this picture is very beautiful, but it is too difficult to execute.
After hearing Yuan Wei's words, Liu Ye's hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach, and he hurriedly said, "Gongzi Mingjian." ”
Yuan Fu whispered again: "Ziyang, the reason why I ordered the whole army to turn around and go west and go to Xuchang with great fanfare is just to test the reaction of the Cao army in Zhuyi, I have already ordered Ding Feng to go back, from Suishui to Zhuyi Water Village, and observe the Cao army nearby, and when Ding Feng comes back, we can know whether the Cao army has an ambush in Zhuyi." ”
Liu Ye asked: "How can you judge whether the Cao army in Zhuyi is ambushed?"
"It's simple." Yuan Wei said, "If there is an ambush in the Cao army of Zhuyi, after learning that our army is diverted to the west, it is inevitable that they will be disappointed, and they will inevitably be anxious, you think, the Cao army has carefully prepared a trap, but the prey slipped around the door, and then turned around and left, they can not be in a hurry and even may take the initiative to attack, come to chase and kill us, even if the pursuit fails, they can lure us back to Zhuyi, this rush to chase, they will be exposed, they are anxious, it proves that Zhuyi really has an ambush." ”
Liu Ye deeply thinks that people have the same heart and the same reason.
Yuan Fu continued: "On the contrary, if the Cao army is not in a hurry, does not respond to the transfer of our army, only guards as usual, and even strengthens the level of vigilance, then it means that Zhuyi is not ambushed, it means that Cao Jun simply wants to hold Zhuyi, at that time, we can rest assured that we can kill back the horse gun, seize Zhuyi, and then cross Suishui from Zhuyi to the east." ”
"I see." Liu Ye arched his hand and said, "The son is wise." ”
