Chapter Seventy-Seven: Plan Ahead

Wang Yun issued a crusade against Guo Jia in the name of the Son of Heaven, this is a traitor to Guo Jia'an, should it be, is it, don't talk about it, but Guo Jia must be low-key at this time, he can't be rash at the cusp, he has the strength to enter Chang'an, but he has no strength to resist the warlords of Liangzhou and the Kwantung princes, the most important thing is that at this time, in addition to the people under his rule, the people everywhere are resistant to Guo Jia, the so-called long time to see the hearts of the people, Guo Jia must first give the stage to the Kwantung princes, Let them attract the attention of the people of the world, and secondly, recuperate and wait for the time of day.

After the war, the most important thing is to clean up the battlefield, burn the corpse as soon as possible, and be sure to dispose of it, just to prevent the occurrence of the plague.

From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin dynasties, the population of China decreased sharply, in addition to the war, the most important thing is the outbreak of plague, natural disasters and war deaths caused by countless plagues, some of which are unavoidable by the medical conditions of the times, and some are ignored by man.

Guo Jia also wants to find Hua Tuo, a miracle doctor who travels all over the world, but no matter how clever a Hua Tuo's medical skills are, it is impossible to change the times, even if he is a disciple of the museum, his medical attainments want to become small, and it is not overnight, so he can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven and open medicine in a hundred schools of thought as much as he can, but after all, the status of doctors is not high, the learning is profound, and those who want to get ahead choose medicine are very rare.

When the other princes were surprised by Lu Bu's fiasco, only Cao Ying didn't care and said to Xun Yu, "Guo Jia's subordinates are innumerable, and if Lu Bu is undefeated, it will be unbelievable." ”

Indeed, in terms of the number of troops put into the battlefield, the Taiping army is almost twice as large as Lu Bu, and in terms of military generals and strategists, the Taiping army is far more than Lu Bu, and Lu Bu's 40,000 army was wiped out, and the Taiping army lost only thousands. The important surname of talent has been best interpreted.

If it is a fighting general in front of the battle, Lu Bu is unstoppable, will the winner of the fighting general win? That's just a fantasy, fighting generals, usually when the two armies meet on a narrow road, they are unprepared for the battle, and there is no tactical design, and the generals want to achieve the strategy of defeating the opponent's morale by fighting the generals.

Not to mention that Lu Bu is invincible in the world alone, even if he is a shrimp soldier and crab general, Guo Jia will not let Zhang Liao Ganning and other generals be stupid to fight generals, because he knows the ability and talent of Zhang Liao, Ganning and other generals, not just that martial arts.

He led the army back to Hanzhong to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and Guo Jia rewarded the three armies in Hanzhong and distributed the grain and grass he had seized from Chencang to the soldiers as a reward.

A banquet was held in the Taishou Mansion to celebrate the victory, Guo Jia sat on the main seat and exchanged cups with the martial arts of the hall, and personally toasted each general.

It is said that life must be happy, the atmosphere at the banquet is high, the generals and strategists drink happily, and there is laughter, but this ordinary wine tastes like drinking water, which is really not enough fun.

At this time, someone from outside the hall came in to report: "My lord, the Zhen family sent ten altars of drunken immortals to congratulate the old way of victory." ”

Everyone in the hall was stunned, Guo Jia was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Zhang Liao, who was sitting in the front row of his hands: "What are you waiting for? ”

Zhang Liao laughed, got up and ordered the soldiers to move the drunken immortal wine in, ten wine jars, placed on the ground, Guo Jia instructed: "Take six altars to the soldiers outside, leaving four altars is enough." ”

In the courtyard of the Taishou Mansion, the low-level generals in the army are also drinking, but they usually can't drink the drunken immortals at all, when Zhang Liao commanded his subordinates to carry the six altars of drunken immortals to the courtyard, Zhang Liao said loudly: "This is the lord rewarded you, the world-famous drunken immortal wine!" ”

The soldiers got up and clasped their fists in the direction of the lobby and said in unison, "Thank you." ”

After thanking them, some gluttonous generals impatiently went to unseal the wine jar, and a strong aroma of wine came to their nostrils, and the generals who had never drunk the fairy took a sip of a bowl, and then choked on snot and tears everywhere, causing everyone to laugh.

Although a ban on alcohol was promulgated, it was not a ban on drinking, but that wine was not allowed in Yizhou, in order to hoard food and prepare for war.

There are drunken immortals to help the fun, the atmosphere of the banquet is even higher, and only Gao Shun with a faint smile to replace the wine with tea to express his joy, this is not Gao Shun's disappointment, he usually says that he does not drink alcohol and is not gifted, he is moody, he is a general who keeps a clear head at all times, this is his principle, Guo Jia will not be difficult, but he admires Gao Shun very much, he is not carried away, and he is not discouraged when he is frustrated, this point, Guo Jia is not as good as Gao Shun.

Meng Da raised his glass to Guo Jia with three points of drunkenness and said: "Lord, Lu Bu has returned defeated, and the remaining soldiers and horses in the pass are already vulnerable, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue and take the land of Sanfu in one fell swoop?" ”

Fa Zheng, who was sitting on the other side, frowned slightly, wanting to scold Meng Da not to talk nonsense, the land of Guanzhong was indeed something that Guo Jia could take down at this time, but it was difficult for Guo Jia to gain a foothold after taking it, and in the long run and timing, this was not a good opportunity to take Sanfu.

He was afraid that Guo Jia would be impulsive when he was drunk, so he was worried that Guo Jiazhen would lead the army to attack Guanzhong, but before he could speak, Guo Jia smiled at Meng Da and asked, "Why does Zidu want me to take Guanzhong?" ”

Meng Da immediately replied: "The people in Guanzhong are miserable, but under the rule of the lord, there is a dull situation, in order to solve the difficulties of the people in Guanzhong, firstly, the people left their hometowns and moved to Yizhou, and secondly, the lord took Guanzhong and returned the blue sky to the people's heads." ”

"Zidu, Hugh wants to talk nonsense, how can the war end be opened as soon as it is opened? Chang'an is the western capital of the Han Dynasty, extraordinary, don't miss the great cause of the lord, at this time send troops to three auxiliaries, there are disadvantages but no advantages. Fa Zheng refuted Meng Da's proposal with a serious expression.

After Meng Da was refuted by Fa Zheng, he woke up a little, Fa Zheng was his friend, although he was scolding him at this time, but he was helping him, Meng Da knew this, put away his smile, Meng Da hurriedly said to Guo Jia: "Lord, I lost my words after drinking, don't take it seriously." ”

Guo Jia waved his hand lightly, raised his wine glass and said, "I do have the intention to take the land of Guanzhong Sanfu, but the time has not yet come." Since Guanzhong is mentioned, let's talk about it, if I want to take Guanzhong, how should I take it? ”

Everyone in the hall put down their wine glasses, and Fa Zheng first spoke: "Lord, Chang'an is the place where the Son of Heaven is located, no matter how many princes there are in the world, they are all nominal Hanchen, if the lord does not want to sit in the name of the thief, then he must not be opposed to the Son of Heaven, otherwise it will be against the minister's way, oh, of course, even if the lord is not a Hanchen at this time, but I think that if possible, it is the best thing to get the title of the Son of Heaven in name. If the lord wants to take the three auxiliaries, he must first avoid confrontation with the Han family, and under this premise, he can send troops to attack the three auxiliaries. ”

The listeners all nodded, agreeing with Fa Zheng's statement, they have no loyalty to the Han family, and most of the princes in the world are not loyal to the Han family, but the Han family has not perished in the end, and openly confronting the Han family is not only contrary to the general righteousness, but also gives the princes an excuse.

"What filial piety says is very much in line with my heart, but I want to nominally serve the Han family, don't wait for me, Dong Zhuo has recruited An, I can't see Dong Zhuo defeated, Wang Yun issued a document to crusade against me, alas, I can only see that the situation has changed later."

Guo Jia hates Wang Yun, and Wang Yun also hates him, all of which seem inconsequential after the annihilation of Lu Bu's entire army, the important thing is the development of the situation after the incident.

Gan Ning arched his hand towards Guo Jia, and said lightly: "The lord needs to look at the overall situation, the Son of Heaven will not be able to stabilize in Chang'an, the Son of Heaven will be strong and the princes of Kwantung will be on the same page, the lord always has the opportunity to send troops to Guanzhong, but under the command of the lord, there is a lack of a strong cavalry, although Lu Bu is defeated, but the power of the cavalry he led cannot be ignored, the defeat of Lu Bu is due to the geographical advantage and the people, and then compete with the strong enemy, a strong cavalry army, is the lord must have." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement again, especially Zhang Liao, although he had the upper hand in the confrontation with Lu Bu, but Lu Bu had cavalry, which made him very jealous, change places, if it was an open battlefield, Lu Bu's cavalry could display their abilities from all directions, then the battle situation would not be easy to control, and the mobility and power of the cavalry should not be underestimated.

How could Guo Jia not know the important surname of the cavalry, but fortunately, this time Lu Bu's entire army was annihilated, and nearly 4,000 war horses with only minor injuries were captured, which could still be used on the battlefield in the future.

"Xingba, the horses captured in this battle will be handed over to you, select soldiers who can ride and shoot well from the Jinfan Army, form a new cavalry team, and compete for the world in the future, if I don't have cavalry, I'm afraid I will lose three points of chance."

Gan Ning didn't expect Guo Jia to let him train the cavalry, he thought that he would let Gao Shun reexpand the cavalry in the camp, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to let him form a new cavalry unit, and said in a deep voice: "The last general obeys the order." ”

Later, the famous Yinling Flying Horse led by Gan Ning was officially established today.

Zhang Liao said thoughtfully: "Lord, if you take the land of the three auxiliaries in the future, you will inevitably have to confront Xiqiang Zahu head-on, and the Liangzhou army is also good at cavalry, how to restrain them is the top priority." ”

A perfect army, all kinds of arms together can play the greatest power, Guo Jiashen thinks, this is a reason with Tian Ji horse racing, with their own strengths to attack the other's shortcomings, the way to defeat the enemy is thousands, but the army's direct confrontation is indispensable, with the advantage of the arms to restrain the enemy, is the most basic.

To defeat the cavalry, a strong bow and a strong crossbow are indispensable, Guo Jia asked Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, the skilled craftsmen recruited from all over the country have been sent to Hanzhong for half a year, how is the progress of building a strong crossbow?" ”
