Too white snow for June days.

It is the height of summer, but the top of Taibai Mountain is covered with snow all the year round, and as far as the eye can see, the snow is covered with snow, and the silver light is shining, which is a wonder.

As early as nearly two years ago, after Guo Jia set a strategic route, he asked Zhang Yan and others to gradually move the people to Yizhou, and at that time when the four seas were turbulent, whether it was Kansai or the Central Plains, countless people fled to Yizhou for refuge, which happened to cover Guo Jia's migration plan.

The Zhen family's extremely rich family property was consumed in less than two years, and the expenses of the people and soldiers and horses were unimaginably huge.

In the past two years, Zhen Yan had the position of Zhongshan Taishou, and several times in the name of a thief with his elite soldiers around the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom, in order to hide people's eyes and ears to build weapons and armor, and then smuggled them to Guo Jia.

The weapons and armor of the 40,000 army obtained, the equipment allocated by Guo Jia to Zhang Yan for 20,000 horses, Zhang Bai rode 5,000, Xu He 5,000, Sima Ju 5,000, Ganning Zhou Tai, Xu Chudianwei and Zhang Liao did not have a cent, but Gao Shun got the equipment of 5,000 soldiers and 5,000 war horses.

In this regard, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Zhang Liao didn't say anything, but for a while, he could see that he couldn't accept Guo Jia's doing this, Dian Wei didn't say anything, but Xu Chu couldn't hide his thoughts, but Guo Jia was the lord, so it was not good to ask in person, so he ran to Xi Zhicai to ask the reason.

"The lord doesn't give it to you now, but he wants to give you more in the future."

Xu Chu didn't understand Xi Zhicai's words thoroughly, but he probably understood that Guo Jia had other plans, so he didn't feel at ease.

In fact, Guo Jia also wanted to give all the 40,000 equipment to Gan Ning and them, but he couldn't, Xu Chu, the soldiers under the generals who shared the weal and woe with him, were all divided from General Zhang Yansi, if the equipment was given to Xu Chu and them, what would Zhang Yansi think?

Now there are 10,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the three generals of Ganning, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and there are 5,000 soldiers under the command of the three generals Xu Chudian and Wei Zhoutai, which add up to only 45,000 soldiers, and only Gao Shun has 5,000 cavalry with well-armored weapons and sharp weapons, and the other 40,000 people do not even have battle armor, and most of the weapons in their hands are old and defective.

And although Zhang Yan took the essence to get rid of the bad, he still has 100,000 soldiers under his command, Zhang Baiqi, Xu He, and Sima Ju have 30,000 each, adding up to nearly 200,000.

First of all, Gao Shun was given 5,000 equipment and war horses, which was also decided by Guo Jia after careful consideration, Gao Shunping said that he would not smile or drink, always keep a clear head, govern the army strictly, and train the troops well.

After converging with Gao Shun halfway from Wangwu Mountain to intercept Dong Zhuo and swindle military funds in Kunshan Mountain, Guo Jia advanced all the way to the southwest, and arrived at the foot of Taibai Mountain, where his army was stationed, Taibai Mountain is in the middle of the Qinling Mountains, densely forested, and an excellent place to hide soldiers.

It sounds like Guo Jia has more than 200,000 soldiers, but Guo Jia deeply understands that 200,000 soldiers with broken weapons and no armor will not hurt 1,000 enemies and lose 800 after they go to the battlefield, but I am afraid that they will hurt 1,000 enemies and lose 8,000 themselves.

In the handsome tent temporarily built at the foot of Taibai Mountain, Guo Jia arranged everything, walked out of the big tent with Xu Shu, and looked at the white scenery on the top of Taibai Mountain, the two chatted about a lot of past events, from Yingchuan acquaintance to this way, Guo Jia changed from a young prince to the lord, and Xu Shu also changed from a ranger to a minister.

"Lord, now the situation in Yizhou is as you expected, after Liu Yan entered Yizhou two years ago, it took a year and a half to stabilize the counties of Yizhou, half a year ago let Zhang Lu lead an army of 30,000 into Hanzhong, after killing Hanzhong Taishou, Zhang Lu is called self-reliance, in fact, Liu Yan is still the relationship between the lord and the minister, Liu Yan raised Zhang Lu's mother in Chengdu, Zhang Lu also began to preach the five buckets of rice religion created by his grandfather in Hanzhong, if the time goes on, Zhang Lu can develop to what extent, it is difficult to estimate."

Liu Yan's wishful thinking is obvious, let Zhang Lu lead the army to kill the Hanzhong Taishou to occupy the territory, the intention is to give outsiders a false impression of Zhang Lu's rebellion, cut off the passage between Liu Yan and Luoyang, Liu Yan on the grounds of "rice thieves making trouble", and since then cut off the contact with the Han family with the monarch and ministers.

There are two roads into Yizhou, one from the north and one from the east.

Whether it is according to Cai Yan or Zhen Yao once said to Guo Jia, the strategic concept is to enter Sichuan and Shu from Jingzhou, and the big reason is that there is a natural danger in the Qinling Mountains in the north, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But Guo Jia still decided to go down to Sichuan and Shu from the north, the main reason is that he could not lead the army into Yizhou from Jingzhou, followed by Zhang Lu's foothold in Hanzhong, whether it is the slope road or the old road, these two dangerous roads from the north into Yizhou, he may not be on guard, the world focuses on the Kwantung Army to attack Dong, Liu Yan let Zhang Lu go to Hanzhong just to facilitate his own separation, not let Zhang Lu guard the gate of Shuzhong for him, Guanzhong in the north of Yizhou has no great enemy, how can you be careful?

Turning his gaze to the west, Guo Jia squinted his eyes and only saw the hazy outline of the Qinling Mountain Range, and sighed slightly: "Ming Xiu plank road secretly crosses Chencang, I don't know if I attack the land of Sanqin in the future, will there be a second Xiang Yu to give me a chance to breathe." ”

Hearing Guo Jia's sigh, Xu Shu was slightly stunned, and understood Guo Jia's worries in his heart, less than half a day away from here is Chen Cang, when Liu Bang attacked Chen Cang and took the land of Sanqin in one fell swoop, Xiang Yu was going to go west to exterminate Liu Bang, but Zhang Liang used a strategy to divert his attention, not only let Liu Bang escape, but also accumulated the capital to compete for the world.

A lesson from the past, who doesn't understand the heroes of the world?

Therefore, after Guo Jia's strategy was proposed, it was unanimously opposed by his advisers.

Entering Yizhou, there is more than self-preservation, and there is not enough progress.

The steep mountains and cliffs can naturally make Yizhou safe and worry-free, but if you want to dominate the world, the first thing to send troops from the north is to base yourself in Guanzhong, but which hero will make the mistake of Xiang Yu back then? Sending troops to the east to attack Jingzhou, Jingzhou is a battleground for the world's heroes, who will easily let Guo Jia take it into his pocket? At that time, it is likely that Guo Jia will contribute the most to attack Jingzhou, but it will be other princes who will benefit.

Considering these, Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu both expressed their opposition to Guo Jia's strategy, but after Guo Jia analyzed the pros and cons of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, he could only compromise.

Guo Jia can't compare with other princes, no matter what the previous identity of other princes was, such as Ma Teng, he was recognized by the world after Dong Zhuo recruited him. For example, the princes of one side are nominally Hanchen, what about Guo Jia? Although he has not reached the point of a Han thief, but he is also a prisoner of the Han family to announce to the world, if he vainly tries to gain a foothold in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, not to mention whether the local scholars gather to resist, that is, the heroes of Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Sizhou in the north, they don't need a high-sounding reason to attack him directly, because Guo Jia's identity is enough to make them famous.

Defeat the traitors!

And if it is based in Yizhou, there is Dong Zhuo in the north who is still breathing to block the heroes of the Kanto, Jingzhou in the east is now in chaos, in the past, Jingzhou Mu Wang Rong was born in a high-class famous family, after being killed by Sun Jian, Jingzhou first in Jingzhou and the local tyrants surrounded and annihilated Sun Jian, and then Jingzhou became a borderless land, the clan tyrants raised their private soldiers and began to compete for civilian labor, and as a result, there were fierce contradictions, and the thieves around the country rebelled, Jingzhou fell into unprecedented turmoil, obviously, no one in Jingzhou will attack Yizhou, Guo Jia has a respite.

Even though Yizhou has the reputation of the country of abundance and the foundation of fertile fields, Guo Jia knows that once he enters Yizhou, it will become difficult to dominate the world.

If you want to forge ahead in the future, I am afraid that you can only hope that there will be changes in the world, as Zhuge Liang Longzhong said to the time, if there is no change in the world, it is just wishful thinking to start from Yizhou to seize the world, but what will happen to the world? Wei first had a hero Cao Mengde, and then there was a usurper forbearer Sima Yi, although Eastern Wu has always been on the inferior side, but the famous generals have taken over, Zhou Yu has Lu Su after Lu Meng, and Lu Xun after Lu Meng.

Has the world changed? For example, the Kwantung Army attacked Dong, and no one cared about Guo Jia's God-given opportunity, which is rare in a century.

Looking up at the night sky, Guo Jia laughed at himself, he didn't even really win Yizhou, what else do you want to do in the future?

"When it falls tomorrow, Zhang Baiqi should be in Fu County, right?"

Xu Shu roughly estimated that Zhang Baiqi led 5,000 foot soldiers into Yizhou yesterday, counting the two marches in the Ming Dynasty, and he almost arrived in Fu County.

"Based on the distance, it's almost there."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Early tomorrow morning, our army will also set off, are all the siege equipment sufficient?" ”

At this point, Xu Shu nodded affirmatively and said: "After the news of the Kwantung Alliance's crusade against Dong Zhuo came, I ordered people to start cutting wood from the mountains to build siege equipment. ”

These three things are indispensable, ladders for soldiers to climb the towers, flying bridges to cross the moat, and chariots to crash the gates. As for the well and the catapult, Guo Jia did not have the strength to possess them, and these two were not something that ordinary soldiers could create.

"Lord, now our army is ready to go, but the grain and grass in the army may only be able to support ten days. If it is difficult for Hanzhong to capture the ...... in a short period of time, no matter how calm and calm, Xu Shu is only the first time to face this kind of scene, which is different from burning the Changshe with Guo Jia back then, and now the thinking must be comprehensive, before the war starts, think about the defeat first, weigh the gains and losses, is the most basic thing that a strategist needs to consider.

Now that the situation is ready to be sent, the Zhen family is no longer able to support Guo Jia for even a day's food and grass, so Guo Jia has only one way left.

Hanzhong could not be captured, and when the 250,000 army ran out of food and grass, it would be self-defeating.

"Yuan Zhi, if I can't even win Hanzhong, am I still qualified to compete with the world's heroes?"

Guo Jia turned around freely, turned around and returned to the tent.

The first battle of Guo Jia's attack on Hanzhong actually started yesterday.

Zhang Bai led 5,000 foot soldiers to take the first step, and after arriving in Fu County, he said that the next time, the soldiers forced Yangping Pass!
