NO.548 THE MOST RELUCTANT OPPONENT

Xu Du, Guo Jia's mansion.

For several months, Guo Jia has been busy with Jia Xu in the house to invade the south of the Cao army and recover the lost land, and now half of the military horses in Hebei have crossed the river, and there are no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, but the two of them dare not take it lightly for a moment, and they both know in their hearts that this victory or defeat can determine the general trend of the world.

In recent years, Guo Jia has been studying the process of Jingxiang's development, and he has gained something.

Three years ago, with the strength of Jingxiang and the Central Plains, Pang Shanmin could fight a big battle, and bet on who could win the Central Plains between him and the prime minister, but Pang Shanmin did not move, until three years later, he connected the five cities, and expanded his strength with the momentum of thunder.

And Jingxiang every time he expands the territory, a large number of military forces are placed on the front line, Jingxiang, Xichuan and Xiliang hinterland, there are not many soldiers and horses, this kind of approach, according to common sense, is not appropriate, Guo Jia originally wanted to target such omissions, to implement a strategy, but when he was ready to use the plan, he suddenly found that Cao Jun could not secretly control the front-line defense area under Jingxiang's jurisdiction.

Now Hefei, Shouchun, Xudu, Luoyang troops and horses, a total of more than 100,000, although it seems to be scattered, but can be the narrow Jingxiang border to the water, if you want to secretly Chen Cang, attack the rear places under the rule of Pang Shanmin, it is not easy, once the lone army goes deep, I am afraid that it will kill itself.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu suggested that Cao Cao also decided to go south, and the focus of the attack would be on Shouchun and Hefei, but the two did not dare to put more than 100,000 Cao troops in Xuzhou, so that Jing Xiang could see the signs of where Cao Cao used his troops. In the eyes of the two, more than 100,000 troops and horses attacked the two big cities and captured them, but what worried the two was whether the three strategists on the Jingxiang front line cooperated tacitly.

Although the Jingxiang defense line was long and narrow, it was completely bordered by Cao Cao's land, which meant that the defensive pressure faced by the two princes was no different. Even if Cao's army can occupy the fortified city. Da Potun is in Hefei, Zhuge Liang's military horse in Shouchun, the land of Yanzhou, I am afraid that it will be everywhere.

After years of battlefield grinding. The Wolong and Phoenix Chicks have been through a hundred battles. The usual strategy is placed on the two of them. I am afraid that the two of them will laugh at it, and Zhou Yu is an extremely fierce opportunist, and the Jiangdong military horses ravaged Xuzhou in the past. Guo Jia didn't dare to forget it.

Such a difficult opponent, one is enough to make people jealous, that Pang Shanmin stubbornly found three people, Guo Jia every time he thought of dealing with these three opponents with different styles, but the same talent and means were not inferior to his opponents, he had a headache.

Jia Xu saw Guo Jia on top of the case, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Fengxiao, it's not early, you should rest early, when the army is marching out, it is not too late for you and me to work so hard."

Jia Xu said, Guo Jia said with a smile: "Wenhe has not slept well for a few days, this battle is related to our future livelihood, Jia really dare not take it lightly." If Jingxiang is defeated, the prime minister can also have a chance to recuperate for a few more years, and compete with the people of the Pang Mountain, but if we are defeated, the foundation of Hebei will be squandered, and what can be done in the future to resist the surging expansion of Jingxiang? ”

Jia Xu sighed lightly when he heard this, and said to Guo Jia: "In fact, in Jia's opinion, this battle is just an attack, a defense, the prime minister wants to recover the lost territory, so he will attack Hefei and Shouchun, but it is not here that determines the defeat of this victory, but whether we can contain Luoyang, the soldiers and horses of Xudu and Xudu, these months are definitely insufficient for ordinary princes, and for Jingxiang, the soldiers and horses of Luoyang and Xudu are afraid that they have the strength of a battle, so they can hold Chen Liu, and we will win, if they can't hold it, with the ability of Pang Tong and Zhou Yu, I am afraid that it is Yanzhou, All the places in Xuzhou are burning beacon fires. ”

Guo Jia thought deeply when he heard this, and said to Jia Xu: "What Wenhe said is extremely true, but to keep Chen intended, we must quickly seize Hefei and Shouchun." However, after Guo fought with that Zhuge Kongming, he found that this son was using soldiers, and he was extremely cautious......"

Hearing this, Jia Xu nodded slightly.

In Jia Xu's view, in this battle of Jingxiang, the three opponents have their own strengths, and as far as he is concerned, the opponent he least wants to meet is Zhuge Liang.

Zhou Yu's ability is not small, but this person has just arrived in Jingxiang, and the run-in with his subordinate generals, no matter how smooth, will not be as strong as in Jiangdong before, and to deal with this person, you can use radical strategies, even if the plan fails at that time, at least it can disturb this person's thoughts.

However, in response to Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu has a lot of thoughts, but there is no good strategy, in Jia Xu's view, Zhuge Liang's use of soldiers is above the book of war, the art of war is step-by-step, every time he sends troops, he is upright, any calculation encounters this person, the effect is not big, for such a featureless, flawless opponent, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and the two have been thinking for days, but they have never thought of a way to quickly take Shouchun and Chen Liu's two cities.

Guo Jia didn't want to attack it too much, dividing his troops into two ways, one attacking Hefei and the other sweeping Shouchun, but such a tactic itself delayed the speed of the army breaking the city, and once Zhuge Liang ignored Wei Yan and defended the lonely city, this surprise attack was a trick to the water......

And with Zhuge Liang's ability to defend the city, it was enough to drag Zhou Yu, Pang Tong came back to his senses, and waved his army to attack Yanzhou, if Chen Liu, Puyang and other places missed, the Yellow River crossing was afraid that half of it would be plundered, and the Hebei army and horses would be homeless.

If the war really develops to such a situation, the defeat of Cao's army is afraid that it will be irreparable.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu sighed and said to Guo Jia: "We must borrow the power of Jiangdong." ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he sighed in his heart.

If it weren't for helplessness, the dignified Central Plains soldiers, why should they pay attention to the weak divisions in Jiangdong? It's just that now what Jia Xu said, Guo Jia also thinks it is true, if Jiangdong can be convinced, even if he can add a chance of victory in the war, it is good.

Although Jiangdong is weak, it has a good navy, Zhou Yu and Lu Su switched to Jingxiang, Guo Jia didn't believe that Sun Quan had no resentment in his heart, thinking of this, Guo Jia restrained his expression and said to Jia Xu: "Mo Feiwen wants to lure the Jiangdong Navy and mess up the Jingxiang Yangtze River waterway?" ”

Jia Xu nodded slightly, and said to Guo Jia: "Even if it is a little good, I must also persuade Jiangdong to participate in the war, now it is not my Central Plains that is strong, but that Jingxiang is like the sky, and it is better to deal with the Jingxiang army alone than to deal with the Jingxiang army alone." ”

"But did Wenhe ever think that Sun Quan's courage had already been worn away by Jing Xiang?" Guo Jia smiled bitterly, but Jia Xu shook his head slightly, and said to Guo Jia: "The courage is gone, but there is hatred, Jia wants to go to Jiangdong and provoke disputes between the two families!"
