Xiahoudun didn't stand firm and fell into the muddy water.

The huge ass sat in the mud and splashed a puddle of yellow-orange-orange mud.

Guo Jia, who was standing at the curtain, saw Xiahoudun fall to the ground, and hurriedly ran out of the tent and helped Xiahoudun up.

"When the last general saw the military advisor, he was quite excited in his heart, and he couldn't even stand on his feet!" In the heavy rain, he was helped up by Guo Jia, and Xiahoudun, who was covered in muddy water, laughed at himself very embarrassed.

"It's raining heavily outside, General Xiahou is coming into the tent!" Xiahoudun braved the rain to look for Guo Jia, and he was already drenched on the road, Guo Jia picked him up and hurriedly invited him into the tent to talk.

Although he just ran out of the house to help Xiahoudun, Guo Jia's clothes were still drenched.

After entering the tent, Guo Jia gave an order to the pro-soldiers, asking the pro-soldiers to get a dry shirt for the two.

The soldiers rummaged through the cage in Guo Jia's tent and took out two pieces of clothing.

Guo Jia first picked out a relatively wide piece of clothing, handed it to Xiahoudun, and said to Xiahoudun: "General Xiahou, a certain shirt, the general must be wearing a smaller one, and it is better than wearing a wet suit, please change it from the general." ”

thanked Guo Jia, Xiahoudun took the clothes handed by Guo Jia, and did not be polite to Guo Jia, so he took off his armor in the tent and changed it.

After taking another piece of clothing, Guo Jia also changed the soaked clothes, and only after changing the clothes did the two sit down as guests.

Guo Jianai is a literati, and compared with Xiahou Dun, who was born as a military general, his figure is much thinner.

Wearing Guo Jia's clothes, Xiahoudun only felt a little uncomfortable being tied up all over his body, but compared with the wet clothes, it was much better.

"General Xiahou came in the rain, but there is something urgent?" After the two of them sat down, Guo Jiacai asked Xiahoudun.

"Strategist!" Holding his fists and arching towards Guo Jia, Xiahoudun asked him: "Liu Bei has abandoned Qingzhou and fled south, but the last general just doesn't know, why didn't the military advisor take advantage of the victory to pursue, but to station the army in the rain?" ”

"It's a long way from the city." Before Xiahoudun's words fell, Guo Jia said to him: "Qingzhou is a place, the party has not been stable for a long time, if my army is dormant in the city, it is difficult for the cities to respond to each other, once something happens, I am afraid that I will not be able to suppress it immediately." ”

"As for that Liu Bei, he is an ambitious person!" Raising his eyes to look at Xiahoudun, the corners of Guo Jia's mouth pulled up a slight smile, and said to him: "Liu Bei has always regarded himself as the son of the prince Jing of Zhongshan, and what he wants is just the heroes of the world to admit that he is the blood of the Han family. This person has great ambitions, and he will be a disaster for the Han family in the long run. Cao Gongkuang helped the Han family, and sooner or later he would eradicate Liu Bei, but the time had not yet come. ”

Guo Jia said that it was not yet time to eradicate Liu Bei, and Xiahoudun looked at him with a blank face and was very puzzled.

As a military general, it is usually extremely difficult to convince a strategist from a literati background. But at this time, Xiahoudun had an almost blind worship of Guo Jia.

Not for anything else, just because Guo Jia led the troops with him, but in just a few days, the entire Qingzhou was in his pocket.

If it was in the past, even if Cao Cao's army was stronger than Liu Bei, Liu Bei had two fierce generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under his command, and it was not very easy to break through him.

"So, the military advisor didn't plan to pursue Liu Bei?" After hesitating for a moment, Xiahoudun frowned slightly, and asked Guo Jia: "If we return to Xuchang and Cao Gong asks about it, how should the two of us respond?" ”

"Don't worry about the general!" Raising his hand and waving towards Xiahoudun, Guo Jia said to Xiahoudun with confidence: "In the Xuzhou area, although Tao Qian is weak, he is by no means an opponent of the Ming Duke, but the Ming Gong rashly sent troops to attack Xuzhou, which is unreasonable. Liu Bei is the hero of the world, and he has long had the heart of plotting the Central Plains, and this time he went to Xuzhou, he would definitely cry Xuzhou into his hands. ”

"Crying in the ...... in your hand" As soon as Guo Jia said these words, Xiahoudun shook his head with a smile, and said with disdain: "There are many heroes in the world, there are many ways to establish the world, only this Liu Bei, the country is easy to get." ”

Looking at Xiahoudun with a smile on his face, Guo Jia shook his head, waved his hand at Xiahoudun, and said to him: "General Xiahou should not despise Liu Bei, it is also his ability to cry, he can cry out of the country, who dares to say that he is not a hero?" ”

"That's what the military advisor said!" When Guo Jia said this, Xiahoudun smiled, looked at Guo Jia, and asked him: "Since Liu Bei must be removed, why didn't the military advisor lead the army to pursue?" ”

"Fang Cai has already said that when Liu Bei arrives in Xuzhou, he will definitely deceive Tao Qian's Xuzhou." The corners of his mouth maintained an indifferent smile, Guo Jia said to Xiahoudun: "At that time, the Duke of Ming will have a reason to send troops to attack Xuzhou, with Liu Bei's military strength, if you want to stop the Duke of Ming, I am afraid it will not be possible!" ”

"It turns out that the military advisor has already made a decision!" After listening to Guo Jia's words, Xiahoudun stood up, arched his fists towards Guo Jia, and said to Guo Jia: "It's the last general who is abrupt." ”

Looking up at Xiahoudun, Guo Jia pressed his hand twice at him, and then said to him: "General Xiahou, please take a seat, in addition to Liu Bei will get Xuzhou, Lu Bu has also arrived in Xuzhou." ”

"Lu Bu!" At the mention of Lu Bu, Xiahoudun snorted coldly, and said with disdain: "The three family slaves are now like dogs who have lost their families, why worry about it?" ”

"Lu Bu is not enough to worry about, but the king of Luoyang must be guarded against!" Looking at Xiahoudun who had just sat down without blinking, Guo Jia said to Xiahoudun: "If Mou is not wrong, the king of Luoyang will definitely support Na Lu Bu and ask him to compete with Liu Bei for Xuzhou." ”

Guo Jia's analysis made Xiahoudun say in a fog.

He blinked his eyes a few times, raised a hand and scratched his head vigorously, before he said to Guo Jia: "The military advisor said something, but he confused what the last general said. Then the king of Luoyang supported Liu Bei earlier, why did he support Lu Bu? And Lu Bu had just stirred up trouble in Luoyang before, and the king of Luoyang ......"

"This is exactly where the King of Luoyang is shrewd!" As he spoke, Guo Jia stood up, walked to the tent curtain, lifted the curtain, looked at the pouring rain outside, and said to Xiahoudun, who was still kneeling in the tent: "Support Liu Bei, in order to borrow the hand of Ming Gong to erase Liu Bei." And to support Lu Bu, it is to disrupt the Xuzhou area, and with the help of Lu Bu's bravery, it is difficult for Ming Gong to meddle in the affairs of Xuzhou. ”

It's okay if Guo Jia doesn't explain, the more he explains, the more confused Xiahoudun becomes.

If you want to say that Xiahoudun, leading the army to fight and arranging troops is definitely not an ordinary hand. Even if he was allowed to use some trickery to raid, it would not be difficult for him.

But once he is asked to analyze the pros and cons of all parties and weigh the overall situation, he will become full of confusion, and it is impossible to figure out a clue.

Looking at the heavy rain outside the tent, Guo Jia's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent for a long time before he seemed to say to himself: "This year's heavy rain in the Central Plains may cause more rivers to burst their banks, people will be displaced, and there will be no harvest of farmland......

"What did the military advisor do to the people!" Guo Jia mentioned that the heavy rain would displace the people, and Xiahoudun said: "To fight, what you want is the soldiers and the bravery, and the people are just plain loss of grain and grass." ”

"If there are no people, how can there be food and grass?" Putting down the curtain, Guo Jia turned around and said to Xiahoudun with a smile: "No matter what, the appearance still has to be done." ”

"Ugh!" Xiahou was stunned for a moment, blinked twice, and then arched at Guo Jia with his fists, and said to Guo Jia: "The last general is abrupt!" ”

Guo Jia and Xiahoudun stationed their armies at the junction of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, but at this time on the border of Xuzhou, there was an army that was slowly advancing towards Xuzhou.

The soldiers of this army were all dressed in tattered armor, and everyone looked dejected.

The rain was pouring down, and the raindrops the size of beans were beating on everyone in the team, and everyone's clothes and armor were already damp.

The cowhide armor on some soldiers even began to swell and flop under the immersion of water.

The cowhide absorbed the water and became extremely heavy, and the soldiers in the cowhide armor had a hard time every step forward.

There were even some soldiers who couldn't walk anymore, so they took off their cowhide armor and threw it on the road, just wearing their soaked battle clothes and following the team with difficulty.

Walking at the front of the team was Liu Bei, who was riding a yellow horse.

Compared with that day in Luoyang, Liu Bei at this time was even more depressed and embarrassed.

His clothes were already soaked, and the rain soaked through his hair, running down his cheeks and down his cheeks.

Riding a war horse, jolting on the war horse, Liu Bei looked a little weak.

"Big brother, I seem to have been bullied by the king of Luoyang!" Riding in with Liu Bei, Guan Yu turned his head to look at the embarrassed Liu Bei, and said to him: "Let me wait to capture Qingzhou, one will not give food, the other will not give soldiers, we will attack for Cao Thief, and even half of the soldiers will not be allocated to help." ”

"Alas!" After listening to Guan Yu's words, Liu Bei let out a long sigh and said to Guan Yu: "I'm waiting for defeat too fast!" Cao thieves took advantage of the heavy rain to raid the plains, and the plain city was broken by Cao thieves in one day. There is no food and grass, and the soldiers have nowhere to rest and wait for the battle, and they have to soak in the heavy rain all day long, and they can last for more than ten days, thanks to the two virtuous brothers. ”

"It's a loss that I gave the king of Luoyang a pair of beautiful calligraphy and paintings that day!" Zhang Fei, who was walking on the other side of Liu Bei, also pursed his lips after hearing the conversation between Guan Yu and Liu Bei, and showed a touch of resentment on his black face, and said to Liu Bei: "I thought that the King of Luoyang would give support to my eldest brother, but I didn't expect that I would even lose the plain......"

"The king of Luoyang does not admit that the eldest brother is a Han clan!" Guan Yu frowned tightly, sighed lightly, and said to Liu Bei: "At present, I am afraid that we can only take refuge in Tao Qian and find a place to live." ”

"Hmm!" Liu Bei nodded, but did not speak, a pair of eyes stared at the direction where Xuzhou City was located, as if he was pondering something.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but the speed of the march of this team did not speed up in the slightest, and all the soldiers dragged their broken blades, wriggling like snails in the rain, and even many of them had the idea of sitting on the ground in the water nest.
