NO.227 IF YOU RUN AWAY, WHERE DO YOU GO?
For a few days, Guo Jia made Cao Ying's army and horses besiege but not attack, making Xiahoudun anxious, Liu Bei had badly arranged Cao Cao several times before, Xiahoudun originally planned to come to Runan in one go, and annihilate this rebellious prime minister in one fell swoop, but Guo Jia did the opposite, did not storm the city, but surrounded Liu Bei's army and horses, surrounded by water, Xiahoudun has asked for war in front of Guo Jia several times, but this military master is always just laughing and silent, and now he will put a letter into the city of Runan, which makes Xiahoudun not understand, Guo Jia's arrangement, why exactly.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiahoudun pushed the curtain in, and saw Guo Jia looking at the map on the case for a long time, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "Fengxiao, why didn't you order the siege of the city?" Take Runan in one go? ”
"There's no hurry." Guo Jia said that, Xiahou was angry in his heart, paced back and forth in front of Guo Jia, and after a while, he said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiaomo is not afraid of that Liu Bei?" Also, I gave Liu Bei a letter before, can you tell this general, what is written in the letter? ”
"If you want to persuade that Liu Bei, escape to Jiangxia." Guo Jia said that, seeing that Xiahoudun was about to have a seizure, he smiled at Xiahoudun and said: "Yuan Rang, in your opinion, what are the chances of winning with 30,000 military horses in the camp and attacking the city?" ”
"If the military advisor makes me and Wen Yuan attack the city together, there will be at least a seven-point chance of winning, break through the city, and capture Liu Bei alive!" Xiahoudun said that, he originally thought that Guo Jia would change his mind, but he saw Guo Jia shaking his head and laughing: "If you let Yuan, I'm afraid you won't even have a five-point chance of winning." ”
Xiahoudun snorted coldly, and was about to argue, but Guo Jia smiled and said: "Liu Bei has been operating in Runan for a long time, and before the big defeat, Zixiao was a game, the morale of the military horses in the city is not weak, and we don't know, the geometry of the military horses in this city, if the army attacks the city, it is a victory, and it is also a narrow victory, and Yuan Rang, Wen Yuan wants to capture Liu Bei alive in the hands of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, Guo thinks that it is not easy. ”
"There are not many others in Runan except for the Yellow Turban Remnant, Feng Xiaomo doesn't think that the soldiers in our army who have fought a hundred battles are not as good as Liu Bei's people in the city, and they win the weak." Xiahoudun sneered: "At the time of Guandu, Fengxiao was in charge of the army, and the soldiers were ordered to be the first everywhere, but now, Fengxiao has changed a lot since he returned from the wedding of Shangjia!" ”
"Yuan Rang thinks that Guo has a very personal relationship with the people of Pang Mountain, so it is convenient for this army to do his best?" When Guo Jia heard this, he chuckled lightly and said to Xiahoudun: "I just want to use the minimum casualties to achieve the greatest results." ”
"If that Liu Bei believes your words and goes straight to Jiangxia, won't the military advisor chase after him?" Xiahoudun frowned when he heard this, but Guo Jia nodded and said, "It's useless to chase it, if this Liu Bei goes to Jiangxia, there will be no chance to leave Jingxiang." ”
After that, Guo Jia thought of Pang Shanmin, who was extremely jealous of Liu Bei in Jingnan, and couldn't help laughing: "Not only that, if Liu Bei returns to Jingxiang, Jingxiang's internal fighting will inevitably continue, and I will attack the north in the future, so I won't have this worry." ”
"I don't know how to plan big things, as a general, I only know how to kill the enemy on the battlefield!" Xiahoudun snorted coldly when he heard this, and said: "It is Liu Bei who fled to Jiangxia, and he also wants to send soldiers and horses from his headquarters to kill the generals and capture the flag." ”
After that, Xiahoudun left the camp, but Guo Jia smiled bitterly, and said secretly in his heart: Prime Minister, Guo didn't want to lead the troops with Yuan Rang, but today, something really happened.
In fact, Guo Jia didn't think that Liu Bei would flee Jiangxia, Xu Shu was not a scheming person, the previous several raids, Runan military horses were also quite lawful, Guo Jia also attached great importance to such opponents, but Guo Jia didn't know in his heart, if Liu Bei didn't return to Jiangxia, where did he want to go.
If he leads the defeated army again and surrenders to Yuan Shao, it is also Liu Bei's choice path, but if he returns to Yuan Shao, Liu Bei will not be reused, if Xu Shu makes this choice, Guo Jia will not regard this person as an opponent.
In Guo Jia's view, if Liu Bei escapes, the biggest possibility is to defect to Liu Zhang, the same clan, if Liu Bei returns to Xichuan, Xu Tu Liu Zhang's foundation, but now Jingnan military horses, has borrowed troops from Xichuan, Liu Bei lost the first hand, and his prime is not harmonious with Pang Shanmin, for Liu Zhang, the role of Jingnan military horses is much higher than the remnants of Liu Bei's hands, and Pang Shanmin's previous plan is to attack Xichuan, if Liu Bei goes, I am afraid he will not dare to compete with Jingnan military horses, head-on.
If Liu Bei doesn't go to Xichuan, where can he go? The world is big, but there are not many choices for Liu Bei now, Guo Jiazheng frowned, but when he saw the scouts in the army, he pushed the curtain in, and said to Guo Jia: "Yu military division, on the city of Runan, the military horses are moving, and the banner at the head of the city is moving to the south gate." ”
Trying to escape?
When Guo Jia heard this, he hurriedly went out of the camp, saw Zhang Liao, Xiahoudun and the two had already put on their horses, and said to the two: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, and look at Liu Bei's movements, and then make plans." ”
When Zhang Liao heard this, he nodded immediately, but Xiahoudun frowned and said: "Fengxiao, if you didn't storm the city before, you have already relied on you, but now Liu Bei wants to escape, and you will pursue, you are in charge of the army in the camp, and you will only lead the army and horses of the headquarters to chase and kill!" ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That is the case, Guo will not force Yuan to let go, but Yuan Rang must remember that when he hears the sound of gold, he should return to the army as soon as possible!" ”
Xiahoudun was overjoyed, nodded again and again yes, and when Xiahoudun left, Guo Jia frowned, and said secretly in his heart: Absconding at this time is not the best time, and the scout reported that Liu Bei wants to escape from the south gate, if he kills all the way, he can go straight to Jiangxia.
It's just that Liu Bei will really go to Jiangxia and attach himself to Pang Shanmin?
Guo Jia didn't think that Liu Bei would choose this route, and the banner at the head of the city was also a deliberate arrangement made to confuse Cao Jun, if he didn't take the south gate, he would take the north gate......
Thinking of this, Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he said to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, order all the military horses and rob and kill Liu Bei at the north and south gates of Runan!" ”
"Strategist...... Yuan Rang went to the south gate to pursue, but we waited to guard the north gate, so I am afraid that it is inappropriate to divide the troops in this way. Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and said to Guo Jia: "Could it be that Liu Bei will only abscond from the north and south gates?" Now our army has besieged the city on all sides, if according to the method of the military division, the east and west gates of Runan will be unguarded! ”
"Then Liu Bei wants to go all the way north and meet Ma Teng!" Guo Jiaxin swore and said: "The world can accommodate this person, now it seems that only Xiliang Ma Teng, if Liu Bei is near and far away and does not go to the north gate, it is Guo Mou's wisdom is not enough, if he is allowed to escape, Guo Mou will admit it!" ”
Guo Jia said, Zhang Liao's eyes lit up, nodded yes, and was about to go to the city to order Qi military horses and go to the north gate to ambush Liu Bei, but when he saw another scout, Pegasus came, the scout turned over and dismounted, and shouted in front of Guo Jia: "Zhao Yun led the army and horses from the south gate in Runan City, and General Xiahou has led his troops to pursue!" ”
"Zhao Yun?" When Zhang Liao heard this, he was slightly stunned, and said to Guo Jia: "It is rumored that since this person entered Liu Bei's army, he has been inseparable from that Liu Bei, Mr. Fengxiao, this time is that Liu Bei, really planning to go to Jiangxia?" ”
