Wang Yun is a figure worth looking at in Guo Jia's eyes, not because he designed to kill Dong Zhuo, but because Wang Yun does have a chance to turn the tide when the Han is in danger, and the most important thing is how he treats the Bingzhou Army and the Liangzhou Army.

The Liangzhou army led by Lu Bu has been subdued by Wang Yun, but after Dong Zhuo's death, the Liangzhou army led by Li Dao Guo Yan and other generals not only has more than 100,000 troops, but also is entrenched in the Sizhou area, in a strategic position, the Chang'an court must at least appease the Liangzhou army, assuming that Wang Yun can start from the overall situation, see this clearly, and treat the Liangzhou army in the same way as Lu Bu, then the Chang'an court, the orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty will have more than 150,000 troops in an instant after Dong Zhuo's death.

With the army, coupled with the orthodoxy of the Han family, Wang Yun can be selected by the virtuous, and then order the princes, those who dare not obey, the imperial army can go to exterminate in the name of the righteousness, the drum of the hall, the banner of righteousness, the people of the world will see the hope of the revival of the Han family, if those princes do not obey the Han family, the situation will be worse than Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo does not respect the Han emperor, the chaos of the dynasty, what he did is the wolf ambition exposed by a powerful minister, but if the princes do not obey the Han family, it is a blatant rebellion, Dong Zhuo is a usurper, the princes are opposed, the meaning of the two is absolutely different, and the latter, even worse.

Now that the Son of Heaven has escaped from the tiger's mouth, Wang Yun has the opportunity to set aside the chaos and oppose the rule, but will he miss the opportunity and push the Han family to the land of no return, Guo Jia speculated solely on Wang Yun's crusade against him, and he has seven points of certainty, but this matter cannot be taken lightly, so the last three points hesitated, and he hoped that Lu Bu would give him an answer.

As long as Wang Yun did not subdue the Liangzhou army at the same time, the men and horses led by Lu Bu would not exceed 50,000, because when Lu Bu entered Chang'an with Dong Zhuo, he would have 50,000 horses under his command.

There are actually many routes to go south to conquer Yizhou, but Guo Jia expected that Lu Bu would go south from the old road of Chencang, because compared with other routes, such as the Bao Slope Road and the Meridian Road, the old road was leveled along the way, which was suitable for the army to go south.

Lu Bu is a cavalry general, playing cavalry is a good hand, which is related to his rejection of Xianbei and Hu in the north of Ding Yuan in Bingzhou, and can have the upper hand in fighting against the Hu people on the grassland, and still rely on cavalry, which is enough to show that Lu Bu's ability on the horse is rare in the world, in history he said to Cao Ying when he surrendered to Cao Ying, Cao Ying has him, he can level the world, the reason is that Cao Ying led the footmen, he led the cavalry, and no one in the world could stop him. Even if you are ashamed to increase your survival chips, it is by no means untargeted.

Guo Jia also has cavalry, but not much, the original 5,000 cavalry in the camp was carefully selected from the grassland horse dealers by the Zhen family, with Guo Jia going south to the main Yizhou and made countless military exploits, plus the pacification of Xu and the rebellion, these 5,000 cavalry are now only 2,000, and the trapped camp that grew up from the bloody war is a strong general, but if it is a single cavalry, it is still inferior to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the White Horse Yicong, the reason is that most of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry are Qianghu people, Most of the soldiers of the White Horse Yicong are also selected by Gongsun Zhan who can ride and shoot well, they are not only calm on the horse, but also able to open the bow and arrows, compared to the cavalry of Guo Jia's camp can only use melee weapons, naturally more powerful, commonly known as controlling the string.

There are also many kinds of cavalry, such as Xiliang Iron Cavalry and White Horse Yicong, most of them are light cavalry, and most of the soldiers wear light armor or even do not wear it, in order to speed up the speed of the war horse charge, and they need to have a strong fortified city, otherwise they will be flattened, to restrain them, they need a fine bow and a strong crossbow, with a long range, and a powerful crossbow can shoot the opponent before the iron cavalry gets close. Heavy cavalry is difficult to assemble due to the cost of armor, the breed of war horses, and the physique of cavalry. Heavy cavalry first needs soldiers with superb equestrian skills, and wearing heavy armor can also move freely, war horses are also armored, plus there are cavalry straddling the body, if the horse is not of good breed, it is difficult to support the weight of armor and people, and the combat is slow, it will be greatly reduced, although iron smelting has been popularized in the Han Dynasty, the cost of building heavy armor is unimaginable, not only must the blacksmith have skillful skills, but also the iron material must be excellent, otherwise the heavy armor created can not block the penetration of the bow and crossbow arrows, what is the use?

Yizhou has dangerous mountains and strong passes, the cavalry can not be used, it is easy to keep Lu Bu away for thousands of miles, but to defeat Lu Bu, Guo Jia can not only defend without fighting, so he decided to lead the army north to meet the enemy with Zhang Liao, out of Chengdu he only brought Fa Zheng and Gao Shun, as well as two thousand foot soldiers in the camp, these two thousand foot soldiers under Gao Shun's training not only hand-to-hand combat is unstoppable, but also mastered the ability to use strong crossbows and good shooting.

Guo Jia did not bring the cavalry out of tactical and long-term considerations, his cavalry are treasures, can no longer be easily lost, the south is not without horses, but the horses in the south are always inferior to the northern horses, as logistics, as a means of transportation, the southern horses are no problem, but on the battlefield to kill the enemy, the cavalry pays attention to the overall speed, coming and going like the wind is fast and can fight for a long time, and the southern horses are difficult to climb the big scene.

Go north to take the Jiange Road, in Zitong County, Gan Ning has been ready to go, Guo Jia out of Chengdu with people on horseback, only less than two days to meet with Gan Ning.

In the big tent of the Jinfan Army, when Guo Jia arrived, it was already the time of the fall, so he planned to rest for the night and start the army tomorrow.

"Xingba, for more than a year, you have suffered here, how is the military spirit?" Guo Jia, who was sitting in the big tent, began to shush and ask for warmth.

It was a chore for the Jinfan army to repair and expand the Jiange Road, but someone had to do it, the purpose was to strengthen the connection between Hanzhong and Chengdu, whether it was the army passing through here, or transporting grain and grass to carry heavy loads, the rugged section of the Jiange Road was an obstacle, and the mountain must be dug to open the road for future needs.

Gan Ning, who was much darker than before, shook his head with a smile and said: "The soldiers complained at first, but the lord gave them half a year's salary, and no one complained anymore, they used to be ordinary people, enlisted in the army, and the picture was to have food and clothing, now many people have settled down in Yizhou, one person in the army, not only can support themselves, but also subsidize some households, for them, they are already very satisfied, bitter and tired, before joining the army, they are prepared, and they are not even afraid of death, and they are nothing in the rain." ”

Guo Jia showed a smile with relief, as long as the army's heart is stable, he can rest assured, repairing and expanding the Sword Pavilion Road is a chore, but it is also a great credit, Guo Jia asked Gan Ning to do this, is to press this credit on his head, and in the future, he will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, so as not to cause others to slander, the so-called hard work is high, first endure hardships, and then make meritorious contributions, and others have no way to start if they want to pick bones in eggs.

After greeting Wu Yi and Mengda for warmth, Guo Jia planned to let them all go down to rest, and someone outside the tent came to report.

Wu Yi handed a letter from Hanzhong to Guo Jia, who read it and handed it to Gan Ning.

"Lu Bu has led the army into Chencang, within three days, he will definitely wave the army south from the old road, Wen Yuan found out that Lu Bu went out this time, leading 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses."

Guo Jia stood up and paced back and forth, Zhang Liao in Hanzhong in addition to training and preparing for war, but also always pay attention to the movement of Guanzhong, when Lu Bu out of Chang'an, he got the news, and sent someone to continue to inquire about the military situation, now after determining the situation of Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, immediately notify Guo Jia.

After Gan Ning saw it, his expression was a little incomprehensible, he looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Lord, Lu Bu dares to attack Yizhou with 40,000 soldiers and horses?" Didn't he know that the lord had more than 150,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou? What's more, at the foot of Kunshan Mountain, Lu Bu suffered a loss under the lord, Dong Zhuoshang didn't dare to fight with the lord, he was too blind, right? ”

Fa Zheng also read the information, and shook his head when he heard this: "I'm afraid that Lu Bu is not going to defeat the entire Yizhou, but to defeat Hanzhong, the lord was defeated by Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Lu Bu will definitely despise the lord after learning about this, this is one of them." The reason for this is that Dong Zhuo is uneasy about the people's governance, conniving at the soldiers to plunder the people, and then privately minting coins, resulting in soaring prices, the people have no intention of farming, food shortage, and food shortage in Guanzhong, and Yizhou is under the governance of the lord, the people's livelihood is happy, the family is solid, Hanzhong is the gateway to Yizhou, the lord ordered General Zhang to garrison troops in Hanzhong, there must be abundant grain reserves in Hanzhong, Lu Bu led the army to attack Hanzhong, it is very likely to be to lay down the Han to obtain grain and grass baggage, General Zhang 60,000 soldiers and horses, Although he only has 40,000, Lu Bu may not put it in his eyes, this is the second. ”

Zhang Liao is unknown, Lu Bu must look down on him, Zhang Liao, who has 60,000 soldiers and horses, will definitely be able to block Lu Bu's 40,000 army, but Guo Jia still decided to lead the Jinfan army north.

Because he had to get the news he wanted from Lu Bu's mouth, and at the same time, he had to fight back as soon as Wang Yun released the text to the world, and slap him in the face!

Turning to face the map bordering Hanzhong and Guanzhong, Guo Jia looked at the terrain around the old road for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to send a secret report to Zhang Liao overnight, Lu Bu will definitely take the old road when he sends troops from Chencang, let him block Lu Bu at the north entrance of the old road, and then lure the enemy deep, put Lu Bu's army into the old road, hold the southern end of the old road, and never let Lu Bu go out of the old road to plunder the people, within 20 days, I will lead the army to let Lu Bu's whole army be annihilated!" ”

Everyone looked at Guo Jia's back with a look of shock, everyone thought that Guo Jia was planning to resist Lu Bu, but they didn't expect him to actually want to bury Lu Bu's army in his hometown.

But even if Lu Bu can't beat it, he can retreat to Chen Cang, and then withdraw to Chang'an, how can Guo Jia be ashamed to say that Lu Bu's entire army will be annihilated?

When he first decided to go north, Guo Jia wanted to make Lu Bu retreat, but now, he must give all the princes and the Chang'an court a dismount, so that they know what will happen to those who come to fight Yizhou!

If you don't die by fighting snakes, you will suffer from them, Lu Buruo really has the intention of plundering the resources of Yizhou, and he can't stop the troubles if he is repelled, so if he wants to fight, he can't turn over, and kill chickens and monkeys to show the princes of the world!
