Chapter Seventy-Three: Striking the West
readx;
Going down the river, Guo Jia, who led the fleet, had a smooth journey, and came to Zigui within two days, where Guo Ye abandoned a large number of ships when he marched, took them with him, and continued down the river. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info// updated quickly //i
After another half a day, Guo Jia's entourage was no more than 10,000 people, and he came to Yidu County with a warship covering almost several miles.
, the Taiping army was camped for hundreds of miles, and there were only two days left before the vanguard Wei Yan led the army to attack the pavilion, but Guo Jia caught up with the tail end of the Taiping army's ground forces at this time.
In the evening, the trees on the shore were swaying, and Jia Xu stood on the riverside, looking at the dense warships slowly coming under the canopy, and smiled.
Deng Zhi, who was called out by Jia Xu from the camp on the other side of the mountain and forest, was full of shock, looked at the endless warship, and said in surprise: "Who is on the ship?" ”
Jia Xu asked him meaningfully.
"The general can guess."
Deng Zhi suddenly glanced at Jia Xu, this is a fart.
It is Guo Ye's order to abandon the warship in Zigui, and Guo Ye's order can be overturned, so do you still have to guess? It must be Guo Jia.
Deng Zhi just didn't know who was in charge of the warship, Gao Shun? Zhang Yan? Xu Chu?
Thinking about it in the past, Deng Zhi was suspicious again, and asked Jia Xu: "Military advisor, is it the prince who acted inappropriately, or did the lord deliberately do it?" ”
When Jia Xu heard it, he couldn't help but be happy, he, like Guo Jia, didn't like to talk to Muyu's head, but the generals who liked to think were all happy.
"The prince obeys the lord."
After Jia Xu's click, Deng Zhi suddenly realized, and blurted out: "That lord is trying to confuse Jiangdong." ”
Jia Xu nodded with satisfaction and said softly, "That's true." ”
The warship docked, and the first person to land was Meng Huo, who led 10,000 Wudang Flying Army south to Badong and followed Guo Jia on the expedition, which is also the only soldier and horse that Guo Jia can draw out now.
The person who followed Meng Shu was Pang Tong, and the two led the soldiers to land quietly on the shore, Meng Shu didn't understand the etiquette of officialdom, which was more pragmatic, so he saw Jia Xu and Deng Zhi is to bow his hand, and then let Pang Tong announce Guo Jia's military order.
Pang Tong naturally wouldn't be as tendoned as Meng Shu, and smiled and arched his hand at Jia Xu and Deng Zhi: "The labor expedition, the two of you have worked hard. ”
Deng Zhi hurriedly saluted and said a few words, but Jia Xu had an unfathomable smile on his face, stared at Pang Tong, and asked, "Cao Pi usurped the Han, why didn't Shiyuan seize the opportunity?" ”
Pang Tong laughed, came back to his senses and shook his head with a wry smile: "The lord refuses to change his mind, what can I do?" ”
Jia Xu looked up at the night sky, sighed, and said no more.
Pang Tong sighed in his heart, but he quickly picked up this regret, and immediately turned his head to Deng Zhi and said solemnly: "General, the lord has an order to order you to lead the rear army to board the ship, and there must be no mistakes." ”
As soon as the words fell, Deng Zhi's brows furrowed, and he was embarrassed: "This has to go through the mountains and forests, and it will not take two or three days, I am afraid it will be difficult for the whole army to board the ship." ”
The military camp where the Taiping army was stationed was on the other side of the mountain forest, and in Deng Zhi's opinion, it was difficult to bring all 50,000 soldiers and horses on the ship
But Pang Tong was obviously not surprised, and explained to Deng Zhi: "General Meng will assist the general, without further ado, let's do it." Oh, and one more thing, when the general led his army away, he left the camp to patrol with hundreds of soldiers. ”
"Empty camp?"
Deng Zhi asked in surprise, and then thought about it for a while, and suddenly said that he understood.
Mountains and forests are a big problem for ordinary soldiers, it takes a long time to open up mountain roads for tens of thousands of troops to cross, but for the Wudang Fei Army, facing dangerous mountains and bad waters are commonplace, the mountains and forests on the shore can be as flat as walking on the ground, with their assistance, the soldiers at the tail end of the three armies of the Taiping Army only took one night to cross the mountains and forests to the shore, board the boat and continue down the river.
From the outside, there is nothing unusual in the camp, and there are soldiers patrolling in order, if you do not enter the camp or pay attention to the subtleties, it is difficult to find that the large camp to the west of the Taiping army is already empty.
The fleet continued to move forward, and in the dragon head ship where Guo Jia was, he was sitting and playing against Jia Xu, accompanied by Pang Tong, slightly boring.
"This military hard work, can Wen He still hold on?"
Guo Jia looked at the chessboard and asked softly. i
Jia Xu, but he is already over sixty years old, let him go with the army, even if it is on horseback, it must be a kind of torture.
Just before Jia Xu could speak, Pang Tong interjected: "Mr. Wenhe has a pure heart and few desires, has his own experience in self-cultivation, and his body is stronger than that of a young man, even if the lord asks him to go out with the army ten years later, it will definitely be no problem." ”
Guo Jia, who was pinching the white son, was slightly stunned, raised his head to look at Pang Tong, and saw him looking at him, his expression was slightly innocent, but he was full of expectation.
Smiling slightly, Guo Jia said: "Shiyuan, you have something to say." Don't think about anything else, there's a big battle waiting in front of you. ”
Pang Tong scratched his head, and inadvertently glanced at Jia Xu quietly, and the two exchanged eyes, both showing a little helplessness.
Falling off the chessboard, Guo Jia said leisurely: "Yan Pu Feige passed the book, Cao Pi sent Sima Yi to Luoyang, what do you two think?" ”
Jia Xu didn't speak, he concentrated on playing chess, Pang Tong was very interested in this Sima Yi, or a character who could make Guo Jia pay attention to it, Pang Tong would pay attention, Cao Wei had a Sima Yi, and Jiangdong had a Lu Xun, all of whom Guo Jia had talked about, and it was impossible to praise them, but let everyone pay attention to them.
After Sima Yi came out, it was after Cao Cao's death that he really stepped into the eyes of outsiders, and his most eye-catching thing was that he participated in Cao Pi's internal stability to the enthronement of the emperor A series of important military and political affairs.
With Sima Yi's age, it can be said that in Cao Wei's officialdom it is rising at a comet-like speed, compared to his brother Sima Lang, who came out early, Sima Yi can be said to be on the rise, to get such an achievement, just by family background, it is impossible, Sima Yi must have extraordinary talent, but how it is, Pang Tong can't say a thing or two.
Cao Wei's confidential deliberations are all secrets, outsiders know at most that Cao Piqi values Sima Yi, but all important military and political matters are discussed with him, but the specific content, outsiders have no way of knowing, so they and Guo Jia also find someone to discuss, there are so many ministers, outsiders can only guess the content of their conversation.
"Shi Yuan, don't think about it, it's not a good sign to see your sad face. I've heard people say that Sima Yi has a wolf look. ”
Black and white are staggered, vertical and horizontal chessboard, Guo Jia and Jia Xu come and go, but there is no time when anyone hesitates.
These words made Jia Xu also stare and think for a moment, and Pang Tong was even more surprised: "What does the lord mean, Sima Yi went to Luoyang, and his heart was wrong?" ”
Guo Jia grabbed a handful of white seeds and put them in his hand, still staring at the chessboard, and said thoughtfully: "According to the trend of Sima Yi being valued by Cao Pi now, coupled with the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the Sima family will have a second Yuan Shao sooner or later, however, with Wang Mang's precedent, it is not enough for the Sima family to have the power of the gate valve, it is best to have a He Jin, even if it can't be like He Jin, it is necessary to establish prestige in the army." Hehe, Wen He, Wen He, you old fox actually hid a hand, and you almost were deceived by you, if you didn't find out, I would have abandoned my son and surrendered within five steps. ”
Guo Jia laughed and fell, just sealing a game carefully designed by Jia Xu.
Jia Xu and Pang Tong obviously didn't put their minds on the chessboard, in the final analysis, they were still shocked by Sima Yi.
They don't know why Guo Jia expected that Sima Yi was disloyal to Cao Wei, anyway, it was absolutely impossible to make this conclusion based on hearsay, but Guo Jia would never be untargeted.
Jia Xu smiled lightly and said, "In this way, the lord will win back a game, or a tie." ”
Guo Jiahun didn't care, and while picking up the chess pieces, he fell sideways: "Then let's win or lose the next game." ”
Pang Tong, who was pondering on the side, also left Sima Yi behind, even if Sima Yi really wanted to usurp Cao Wei, this was a shadowless matter, and it was a trivial matter to seek a dynasty to usurp the government? How can careerists not operate for more than ten years, decades?
There was only one day left before Wei Yan attacked the pavilion, and the fleet led by Guo Jia was only less than 300 miles away from Wei Yan's vanguard army.
Guo Ye, who was just about to fall asleep, suddenly heard the neat footsteps outside the tent, stopped his movements, and turned his eyes to the tent door.
Xu Chu of the Malaysian Golden Knife came to Guo Ye and bowed, and then said straight to the point: "Son, I bring you the military order of the lord, please take a look." ”
After Guo Ye read the military order carried by Xu Chu, he immediately said: "Without further ado, what is General Xu going to do, I immediately ordered the soldiers to cooperate with the general." ”
Xu Chu didn't talk nonsense, and after Xiao Ren, Zhang Ren, and Dianman came to the tent, he told the plan again.
In this line, Xu Chu took Meng Shu with him, and there were 20,000 in Wudangfei's army, 10,000 under Meng Shu, and 10,000 in the 130,000 Chinese army.
Xu Chu ordered them one by one to perform their duties.
Like the rear army, the officers and men of the Chinese army, with the assistance of 20,000 Wudangfei troops, withdrew overnight to the shore to board the ship.
The youth army led by the pawn man escorted Guo Ye, and halfway through, he was about to cross the mountains and forests, Guo Ye suddenly turned around to find Xu Chu, and when he came to Xu Chu, Guo Ye asked directly: "General Xu, dare to ask the vanguard of our army, what are the arrangements?" ”
Now Guo Ye has understood Guo Jia's strategy, which is to deceive Jiangdong and attack the west.
However, Guo Ye had to know what would happen to Wei Yan.
Under the leadership of Wei Yan, it is impossible for the 20,000 vanguard troops in the front to withdraw quietly like the rear army of the Chinese army, otherwise they will be startled.
Xu Chu said truthfully: "I got the order of the lord to go to the rescue after General Wei led the army into the pavilion. ”
When Guo Ye heard this, he suddenly felt bad.
"In other words, the vanguard force will inevitably start a war with Jiangdong, and if Jiangdong fights back with all its might, the vanguard force will be isolated."
Guo Ye didn't finish what he was saying, he understood!
Wei Yan's 20,000 soldiers and horses were completely sent to death!
This also explains why Guo Jia chose to recruit an army composed of criminals, and sent this army to the front line before it was tempered, or to serve as such an important position as a pioneer!
"General Xu, I ask you for one thing."
Guo Ye's eyes were suddenly solemn, and he held Xu Chu's arm tightly.
Xu Chu was stunned, and said solemnly: "Son, please speak." ”
"Be sure to rescue Wei Wenchang."
Looking at Guo Ye's unwavering gaze, Xu Chu nodded solemnly.
