The two armies are fighting, and the fighting spirit is very important.

If you have the fighting spirit, you will be fearless in the face of thousands of troops.

If you don't have the fighting spirit, you will also wag your tail and beg for mercy in the face of the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Yuan Shao and Cao Ying combined more than 200,000 troops to wave the army in Guanzhong, how Guo Jia responded is secondary, first of all, we must show a clear attitude, and only by working together can the three armies die.

If you want to evacuate, you can simply and neatly go back to your home and return to Yizhou.

If you want to defend or attack, it also depends on the situation, whether to act at the opportunity or fight to the end?

"Does anyone want to persuade me to return to Chengdu to save my strength?"

Guo Jia asked lightly on the main seat.

Everyone in the hall was silent.

There are 80,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, more than 200,000 in Luoyang, and 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou, but that is Guo Jia's foundation, can it be used to fight to the death?

Besides, there are more than 180,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou and Guanzhong, but can Guo Jia mobilize all these soldiers and horses to come to Guanzhong to confront Yuan Shao and Cao Ying?

On the general's side, Gan Ning closed his eyes, as if it was none of his business.

If you want to fight, you will fight.

Yuan Shao, Cao Ying.

I can't wait to see it for a while.

Xu Chu and Dian Wei held their heads high, their eyes were like copper bells, and they stared at Guo Jia with blazing eyes, as if they would immediately return to the camp and gather troops and horses to enter Luoyang when he gave the order.

Gao Shun always had an indifferent look, and at this moment, the long-lost battle intent was slowly brewing in his chest.

If the generals are all timid before fighting, Guo Jia will not be able to win if he wants to.

A general's success is the road to fame.

The three strategists, without the blood of the generals for war, their reason is driving them to analyze the situation, analyze the pros and cons, and then make a judgment.

To fight or not to fight, they are very unanimous.

Xu Shu said lightly: "Guanzhong, you can't give it away." ”

Fa Zheng also said one after another: "At present, the people from all over the world are returning to Guanzhong, trying to live and work in peace and contentment, and the officials promoted by the imperial examination last year have also taken office, and the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce has laid a foundation in Chang'an. ”

This spring is a critical period.

If the returning people knew that a great enemy was coming, they would be terrified and would have fled again.

As the people at the bottom of the society, they will only support the rulers who treat them well, whether Yuan Shao and Cao Ying can be more close to the people and love the people than Guo Jia, and implement the policy of lightly punishing and meager endowments, they don't know, if Guo Jia can't hold Guanzhong, and then Yuan Shao or Cao Ying occupies Guanzhong and treats the people well, then Guo Jia will lose the support of a large number of people, on the contrary, Yuan Shao or Cao Ying can't treat the people well, then the people will be disappointed in Guo Jia.

For Guo Jia, as long as he loses Guanzhong, he will lose the support of the people in Guanzhong.

Not to mention that it is difficult to settle the officials who have just taken office in Guanzhong, as well as the wealthy families of Yizhou who have come to Guanzhong with a large amount of materials, money and grain to develop their family business.

The gains and losses of war are not only military and terrestrial, but also people's hearts.

Guanzhong can't be lost, this is an analysis of the pros and cons.

But how the war will be fought still needs to be discussed.

Pang Tong, who spoke at the end, spoke eloquently, spoke clearly, crisply and firmly.

"Yuan Shao and Cao Ying marched into Luoyang, with no less than 200,000 soldiers and horses, of which Yuan Shao must have the most soldiers and horses, at least 150,000. Because it is impossible for Cao Ying to bring more than 50,000 soldiers and horses to fight Guanzhong. In this case, these 200,000 soldiers and horses are not to be feared. Yuan Shao's army came all the way to Luoyang, and he fought with Gongsun Zan for many years, and the soldiers were tired and tired, and the combat strength was at least 20%. Yuan Shao and Cao Ying are separated from each other, but in fact, they calculate each other, and they can't work together, so the two families will join forces, and their combat power will not rise but fall, and then go to two percent. Guanzhong Xiongguan Gongwei, Yuan Shao and Cao Ying are attacking from the back, not taking advantage of the territory, and the combat power will go to two percent, as for the officials in Guanzhong, down to the people all support the lord to govern Guanzhong, then the army and the people are united, and the strength of our army has risen sharply. From this point of view, these 200,000 enemy troops can be destroyed with a snap of a finger. ”

What a phrase "can be extinguished with a snap of a finger"!

The full hall of civil and military personnel showed a slight shock.

What shocked me was that Pang Tong was not ashamed of his words, but he was also the truth.

Pang Tong's face does not change, and he is as firm as ever.

He must be forgiven for being a little blind and relegating Yuan Shao and Cao Ying to vulnerable minor roles.

Strategists, it's hard to get on the top if you're decent.

If you want to win the favor of the owner, sometimes you have to talk without being shocked.

Strategists who have no ability can naturally only exaggerate and make something out of nothing.

A strategist with the ability will always show his extraordinary talent at a critical time, and then make a splash.

Guo Jia, who was sitting on the main seat, smiled with relief.

At least there are no capitulationists in the civil and military forces that he regards as his confidants.

The situation has been analysed clearly and thoroughly.

Guanzhong can't be lost, and Guo Jia can't retreat without a fight.

In this case, what Guo Jia has to do now is to issue a military order and prepare for battle.

With a pale face, Guo Jia's expression was solemn.

"Xu Shu, immediately issue a document to the officials of Hongnong County, asking them to take the people under their rule to temporarily move to Chang'an for refuge, as long as they are registered in the county, they can get a living guarantee."

"Fa Zheng, send an urgent report to Zhang Liao, so that he can stick to Hangu Pass, although he has the power to adapt to the situation, but he must ensure that Hangu Pass is not lost! In addition, he sent an urgent report to Yan Yan of Wuguan, asking him to strengthen the investigation of the enemy situation in the east, and like Zhang Liao, Wuguan must not be lost. Finally, I gave Wu Ban of Fufeng an order, if Ma Teng and Han Sui dared to come and take advantage of the fire to rob, he had the right to make a decision on the spot, as long as he had the courage and ability, even if he entered Liangzhou, I would reward him. ”

"Pang Tong, send a message to Chengdu with a flying pigeon, let Chengdu always pay attention to the movements in southern Yizhou and Jingzhou, hum, Liu Biao must not give me a reason to attack Jingzhou! The generals will go back to the camp to prepare for battle, Yuan Shao and Cao Ying will at least not wave their troops to fight without saying a word, I want to see what name they use to crusade against me. ”

Guo Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief after giving the order at once, and at the same time, his eyes became sharp, his fists were clenched, and a sneer appeared on Junlang's face.

Yuan Benchu, Cao Mengde.

Actually, I've been waiting for this day for a long time.

Although it is clear that Yuan Shao and Cao Ying waved their troops into Luoyang, they are the great enemies in front of Guo Jia.

But how many enemies will there be in the shadows?

Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Sui Ma Teng in Northwest Korea, and even the barbarians in the south of Yizhou who have not yet returned to Shun.

If you don't watch out for them, you will regret it one day.

Whether Cao Ying and Yuan Shao will secretly incite these forces, Guo Jia doesn't know, put himself in his shoes, if Guo Jia has the advantage of Cao Ying serving the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate, he will definitely incite the surrounding forces to make trouble together.

Chengdu, Yizhou Mansion, now the official office of Yizhou Mansion is no longer in Guo Jia's mansion, the state pastoral mansion built by Liu Yan is as magnificent as a palace after several renaming, and Guo Jia has also changed from the general's mansion to the state pastoral mansion, and finally became Guo's mansion.

After all, there is Guo Jia's family living in the backyard there, and there is always something wrong with the officials working in the lobby of the front hall, so another office building was deliberately built in Chengdu.

Xi Zhicai, who works in Yizhou Mansion, wears a windbreaker, although winter goes to spring, but he is still warm when he is unwell.

There was a rush of footsteps, and Xi Zhicai looked up and saw Zhen Yao walking towards him, his face solemn.

After Zhen Yao entered the hall, he didn't say much, the red tape was omitted, and he directly handed the letter in his hand to Xi Zhicai.

After taking it, Xi Zhicai began to read, and his expression became solemn.

"When did you get the news?"

Zhen Yao replied: "Just now." ”

This is a message sent from the Chang'an Flying Pigeon Transmission Book.

Flying pigeons passed on books as early as when Chu and Han were fighting, but this kind of way of transmitting information was developed and popularized in the Tang Dynasty.

There may be horses that can run faster than birds, but horses always have to go around mountains and rivers.

The sky is unobstructed, and the efficiency of flying pigeons to deliver letters is undoubtedly much higher than that of people and horses to deliver letters.

It's just that it is extremely difficult to raise carrier pigeons, and laymen can't figure out the way, and it is not possible to learn this kung fu.

After Guo Jia entered Yizhou, he recruited talented people from all sides, and there were indeed people who were good at birds and beasts to recruit, so Guo Jia issued the task of raising carrier pigeons.

After so many years, this project has been somewhat effective, and now it can only be used in the exchange between Chang'an and Chengdu, or to release a carrier pigeon when delivering news.

It's all risky.

And there are limitations, the flying pigeon biography is to use the homing instinct of the carrier pigeon, rather than looking for directions to a destination.

It's like Guo Jia is now using a carrier pigeon to send a message to Chengdu, and if Xi Zhicai wants to reply to Guo Jia, he can't use the same carrier pigeon, but can only change to a carrier pigeon with a nest in Chang'an.

Of course, for example, this kind of information transmission within the territory, the carrier pigeon is fast, but it is not safe, so the two-pronged approach, the people and horses still have to be sent, the carrier pigeon arrives first, the efficiency is improved, the carrier pigeon is lost, and the manpower can make up for it.

Xi Zhicai paced back and forth in the hall, lost in thought.

Everyone understands in their hearts that as soon as this spring passes, Guo Jia will have the foundation of the people in Guanzhong, and after the autumn harvest, Guo Jia can gradually recruit troops to expand his power.

So the timing of Yuan Shao and Cao Ying's capture was very good.

Or that they really want to crusade against Guo Jia, not bluff.

"Let's wait and see what happens, the war in Guanzhong will be dealt with by the lord, and we must ensure that there is no mistake in Yizhou. If there is a change in Yizhou, Guanzhong will be lost. ”

Xi Zhicai said seriously, Zhen Yao thought so.

Fighting a war is the most taboo to suffer from the enemy on the back of the belly, and when it is difficult to take care of the head and tail, the defeat of the army is inevitable.

"Ahem......"

Zhen Yao, who had just turned around, heard the sharp cough of Xi Zhicai behind him, stopped, turned to face Xi Zhicai, and said with a worried face: "Brother Zhicai, you should go home to recuperate, throughout the winter, your condition will be good and bad, and if you continue like this, you will become a serious illness." ”

Finally calming down the panting and coughing breath in his chest, Xi Zhicai squeezed out a smile and forced a smile: "Hehe, the lord said that illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread." I'm slowly getting better, and I'll be cured in a few days. ”

"You...... Alas......"

Zhen Yao knew that no matter how hard he spoke, he couldn't persuade Xi Zhicai, so he turned around and left.
