Chapter 21 The straw boat borrows arrows

Guo Ye and Wei Yan sat opposite each other, didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Qiqi

"General Wenchang, my father said that you are a rare talent for marching and fighting, and I deeply admire it, if you don't dislike it, General Wenchang might as well teach you a lesson or two, in the current situation, where should my Taiping Army go?"

Wei Yan didn't know if Guo Ye wanted to hear his views on military affairs, or if Guo Jia secretly instructed Guo Ye to do so, if it was an unknown junior in front of him, Wei Yan would definitely not bother to pay attention to it, but since he was Guo Jia's son, let's talk about it.

"I have some humble opinions, I can't call it teaching, let's discuss it with my son."

After Wei Yan finished speaking, he looked left and right, as if his eyes were looking for something.

Guo Ye took out a large map from under the low table and spread it on the table, and then smiled: "Is the general looking for this?" ”

Wei Yan was attracted by the map at a glance, the mountains and streams, the water and the land, the mountains and valleys, were clear.

He nodded yes, in fact, he just wanted to find a ghostwriting tool to point and draw.

The low table couldn't lay out the map at all, Wei Yan moved the map where Jingzhou was located in front of Erjin, and then pointed to the east of Jingzhou, and said with a serious face: "Since the Sun-Liu coalition army broke the Cao army, Jiangdong is unable to fight again in a short time, in order to protect himself, Jiangdong does not dare to offend the envoy, therefore, as long as the envoy marries Jiangdong, he can temporarily stabilize the other party." ”

Up to now, Guo Jia has only two and a half enemies, one is Cao Wei, one is Jiangdong, and half is Liu Bei.

Wei Yan pointed at Jiang Xia again and said, "Uncle Liu Huang has had a lot of failures in this life, so there is no need to worry. But at this time, it is best for the envoy to let Uncle Liu Huang stay in Jiangxia, a county, how many soldiers can he raise? Sooner or later, you will die! If the envoy captures Jiangxia, it will make Wu Hou restless, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not fight to the death with the envoy. And now, in the next thought, the king should first destroy Cao Wei. ”

Wei Yan's words made Guo Ye deeply agree.

Liu Biao can only afford 200,000 soldiers and horses in Jingxiang Nine Counties, what if Liu Bei has a Jiangxia? How many soldiers can you afford?

It's true that Liu Bei is not worried, he lives in Jiangxia for a long time, but Guo Ye thinks of Zhuge Liang who was tabooed by Guo Jia, doesn't he know that Liu Bei's current situation is worrying?

Taking a step back, if Liu Bei can defeat Guo Jia westward with Jiangxia, then Guo Jia would still be able to unload his armor and return to the field as soon as possible.

Wei Yan saw that the other party was listening attentively, so he continued to speak freely.

"Here is Fancheng, Fancheng, Wancheng, Xuchang, plus Hefei and Luoyang, Cao Wei's Central Plains defense line is formed according to this, I heard that Cao Ren led the army to evacuate Jiangling, if as expected, it must be to retreat to Fancheng, with the Han River as a danger to resist the enemy across the river."

When Wei Yan said this, Guo Ye confirmed his guess: "The general is not bad, there has been news yesterday that Cao Ren led an army of 100,000 troops to garrison Fancheng. ”

Wei Yan smiled proudly and continued: "Cao Cao is dead, Cao Wei is likely to have two situations next, one is to hold firmly, which requires Cao Wei to come forward to stabilize the overall situation, stick to the Central Plains, and then sow discord, let the envoy start a war with Jiangdong, and Cao Wei will steal profits from it." Second, civil strife. Whether it is the internal struggle of the Cao family, or the battle between the Cao family and Xuchang's son, this is a sign of defeat, if this situation occurs, it will be easy for Jun to sweep the Central Plains and subdue Hebei. ”

Guo Ye's eyes lit up, and his eyes were full of appreciation for Wei Yan, he had also thought about these things, but he didn't expect that this Wei Yan, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, could analyze the situation so clearly.

"According to the general, if Cao Wei sticks to the Central Plains, how can this situation be broken?"

Everything has to think about the worst situation, for Guo Jia, what is the worst situation? Of course, Cao Wei was not destroyed in an instant, but was able to stabilize his position in a short period of time.

Wei Yan moved the map downward, revealing the terrain of the Central Plains in front of him, stretched out his hand and pointed at Wancheng, and said in a deep voice: "Storm Fancheng, Cao Wei will be saved!" However, the army was divided into two routes, one was sent from Jiangling to besiege Fancheng, and the other was to take Wancheng directly from Shangyong and Xincheng! These two roads of soldiers and horses, one is positive and one is strange, one is virtual and one is real, the attack on Fancheng is fake, and the city of Wancheng is real! As long as Wancheng falls, so that Jun can mobilize cavalry from Guanzhong at the same time, go out of Wuguan, bypass Luoyang and occupy the Tiger Prison Pass, in this way, Guanzhong, Tiger Prison, Wancheng, as well as Jiangling and Hanzhong, will form a great encirclement of the soldiers and horses from the north of Cao Wei Jingzhou to Luoyang! Cao Weiruo fought to the death, encircled and suppressed it! If you stick to it, you can easily sweep Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou. ”

Wei Yan's strategy surprised Guo Ye, gasped, and pondered for a long time.

Seems to work.

But the risks are significant.

Feint to attack Fancheng and attack Wancheng, if the other party sees through, it is very likely that the soldiers and horses who will go deep behind the enemy to attack Wancheng will not be able to come back.

Guo Ye suddenly asked, "According to the general's plan, will Sun Quan sit and watch the wall?" ”

Wei Yan smiled and said: "So in the next suggestion, so that Jun should be a good alliance with Sun Quan, the two families conspired, and jointly sent troops, so that Jun's soldiers and horses in Jiangling would go north to Xiangfan, and let Sun Quan send troops to attack Hefei in the east, in terms of troops, so that Jun would have more and Sun Quan would be few, and when the time came, Jun would sweep Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and Sun Quan would be able to swallow Xuzhou at most, and then Jun would in turn guard the Yellow River crossing and confront Cao Wei across the river, transfer his troops, and go south to annex Jiangdong!" ”

This strategy sounded like thunder in Guo Ye's ears, making his heart fluctuate for a long time and he couldn't calm down.

Risks and opportunities coexist, and there is no risk without taking risks in a war, and Wei Yan's strategy makes Guo Ye feel feasible.

However, Guo Jia may not be able to adopt it, which Guo Ye is very sure of.

Because Guo Jia is good at brainstorming, it's not that he doesn't talk about a strategy, he implements a strategy, and there are so many strategists and generals under him, one, who does he listen to? Of course, it is necessary to be far-sighted, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses in strategic planning, minimize risks, and maximize benefits.

"Hehe, the general's talent, Ye sincerely admires. The night is long, if the general does not dislike it, I want to ask the general more. ”

Guo Ye got up and saluted Wei Yan, Wei Yan hurriedly waved his hand, and then had a long talk with Guo Ye with a smile on his face.

The cool breeze was howling, time passed, and the two entered the camp tent and talked heartily, with nothing to hide.

Seeing that the gray began to light slightly, suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the camp, and the sound of war drums beating in the distance could be faintly heard in my ears.

The tireless Erjin looked startled, and stood up together and walked out, but some of them opened the tent and came in.

Gan Gui didn't expect Wei Yan to be here, and he didn't care about the others, and said to Guo Ye in a deep voice: "Son, there is news from the riverside water village, there is an enemy!" ”

When Guo Ye heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the specific situation?" ”

The three entered and walked out, and the officers and men in the battalion all took action, busy but not panicked and chaotic, and orderly.

Gan Gui said in a deep voice: "The messenger only said that there were enemy ships on the river, and I don't know how many there were, anyway, there were no enemy troops on the ground." ”

Boat? Killed from the water?

Except for Sun Liu, there will be no other entry!

Wei Yan didn't know what he should do, but fortunately, Guo Ye invited him to go to the riverside to watch the battle, so they rode fast horses and rushed out of the city together.

Guo Jia, who was sleeping, was woken up by Jin, and asked Zhang Ren while putting on his clothes: "How many enemy troops are coming?" ”

Zhang Ren put a big coat on Guo Jia, shook his head and said: "General Zhou sent in to deliver the message, but he didn't make it clear. ”

Guo Jia took the time to wash his face with cold water to wake up his spirits, and after tying the big hat, he walked out.

Look at the early color, the morning light is faintly bright, this hour to attack, a little late.

The time when you are most tired and sleep is the two hours after the sub-hour.

Guo Jia was suspicious.

Riding on a horse and heading out of the city, Guo Jia couldn't figure out what the intentions of the Sun and Liu families were.

Relying on the navy alone is at most to break the small boats transporting supplies outside his Jiangling, without any substantial results, and there must be resistance from the Taiping army on the shore, so the enemy army will also have to risk casualties and losses to fight.

Can the Sun and Liu families afford it?

Only by combining the land and water armies can it be regarded as an offensive, and it is unwise to rely on the naval army alone.

The cold wind struck, Guo Jia led the guards out of the city, and the sound of screaming and killing made Guo Jia feel inexplicable.

On the high platform built by the sailors by the river, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were directing the soldiers to release arrows wave after wave, and the shouts of killing came from the river.

Riding to the riverside, Guo Jia turned over and dismounted, did not walk on the high platform, but first looked at the river in the distance by the river.

The water was surging, and it was still dark on the 1st, and the fog on the river was thick, and the enemy ships could be faintly seen hiding in the fog, and the drums and shouts of killing were all sent out from those boats.

Yang Yao closed his eyes, and Guo Jia suddenly showed a smile.

Zhuge Kongming, borrowing arrows from grass boats?

In fact, Guo Jia has never believed that there is such a thing as a straw boat borrowing arrows, because this plot in the romance happened when the Sun-Liu Alliance resisted Cao.

If, Jiangdong didn't even have a bow and arrow before the Battle of Chibi? Surrender directly!

Jiangdong will not be short of bows and arrows before the Battle of Chibi.

Secondly, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are definitely not intriguing against each other, the two families can only survive if they are united, and at the moment of the great enemy, the allies want to put each other to death, which is simply nonsense.

If Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu's minds are like this, then what kind of hero is he?

The scene in front of him made Guo Jia cry and laugh.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin ran to Guo Jia with the current appearance of a great enemy and reported the military situation to Guo Jia.

Guo Ye and Wei Yan also came to Guo Jia's side, and Guo Jia looked at Wei Yan thoughtfully.

"My lord, there is a lot of fog on this river, and our army does not have large warships here, so it is not suitable to fight. The last general has ordered his archers to fire arrows against the enemy. ”

Zhou Tai reported truthfully.

Guo Jia looked at him and asked, "How many enemy troops are coming?" ”

Listening to the beating of drums and the sound of killing cannot count the number of enemy troops, what if the enemy army is playing tricks?

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin glanced at each other, unable to say a definite number.

Because of the fog, no one could have predicted how many enemy ships there were on this river. What if it's all hidden behind? Are you luring the enemy into battle now?

Seeing the rain of arrows shooting out of the sky, Guo Jia gave an order first.

"Let the soldiers stop firing arrows."

"Huh?"

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, including Guo Ye and Wei Yan, did not understand this intention.

Maybe the enemy army is not the opponent of the Taiping army on the ground, but the other side can destroy all the ships of the Taiping army in the river in front of him, plus land along the river, no one knows where the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong will appear.

Zhou Tai was just about to turn around and give a military order, Guo Jia pressed his shoulder again, Zhou Tai turned his head and asked, "What else does the lord command?" ”

Guo Jia smiled and yawned, and said, "Attack the enemy with rockets." ”
