Chapter 434: Guo Da's hesitation
Since getting this holy decree, Guo Da has been sleepless at night, he understands another meaning in the holy decree, after taking refuge in the Han court, but he was named an inconspicuous miscellaneous general, but Zhonglang will be different, even in today's war period, Zhonglang general, who is recognized by the Han court, still has a certain amount of real power.
"General, Lord Yu asks to see you!"
Guo Da nodded and said, "Let him in!" "Since owning Yingchuan County in Runan, the strength of the Yellow Turban has risen greatly, although the people under the rule are still living in hardship, compared to exile in a foreign country is much better, and Guo Da also likes his soldiers to call him a general, such a title makes him feel extremely comfortable, from a person who shouted and beat the Yellow Turban anti-thief to the current Han general, how difficult, the hardships, I am afraid only I can know, Guo Da can be in the Han realm for many years, his own strength is naturally not to be underestimated.
"Sir is here late at night, I don't know what happened?"
Yu Shan arched his hand and said: "Come for the things in the general's heart!" β
"Oh, let's see."
Yu Shan paused for a moment and said slowly: "General Rong Ma has been governing all his life, so far he has been governed, and the so-called name is not right, Cao Jun is elite, and at this time it occupies the land of Qingzhou, and its strength has increased again, on the other hand, our army only has two counties in Yuzhou, and the people under his rule are suffering, even if Cao Cao does not raise troops to attack, I am afraid that our army will not last long, and now the general is Hanchen, if he disobeys the order of the imperial court, the order will be changed every day, lest it cause the world to scold." β
"Nonsense! What is the world counted, the yellow turban is not the anti-thief that everyone shouts and beats, and now it is not also the Han army, hum. Guo said angrily, anyone who denies the results of hard work will not be in a good mood.
"The general is angry, and listen to me!" Yu Shan continued: "The generals in our army and the Han army have been fighting for many years, and the two sides are bitter and bitter, but if the general returns to the Han court, he will no longer worry about his future life, Cao Cao is a man of great talent, and the general is also a fierce general on the battlefield, and he can also be reused under his command, and the generals in the army can also have a proper name and become the general of the Han army, some generals will strongly oppose it, but in the future they will also understand the deep meaning of the general's actions, and they will be grateful to the general." β
Guo Da's face showed a contemplative look, although Yu Dan's previous words were not listened to, if you think about it carefully, there is also a certain amount of truth, who doesn't want to think about what is behind him, he Guo Da defected to the imperial court, and what he wanted was not to let the descendants of future generations not bear the infamy of rebels and thieves.
"The lord imagines, with the land of two counties, against Cao Jun, can you be sure?" Yu Shan asked.
Guo Da shook his head weakly, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was not as good as the other party, and the general's combat ability was not as good as Cao's army, otherwise Guo Da would not have been chased by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao from Qingzhou and other places to Yuzhou.
"The envoy of the DPRK and the central government will be crowned the lord as the general of the Zhonglang." Yu Dan's tone changed and said: "If the general doesn't want to take refuge in the Cao army, only defend the city, slowly and plan, Cao Cao captured Yuan Shao's Qingzhou, with Yuan Shao's character, the two sides will definitely have a fight to the death, Cao Jun after a series of battles, food and grass are insufficient, the two sides will inevitably have a stalemate, then the general can also lead the soldiers who can recruit good fighters, everywhere to fight, it is not impossible, think of the general Jia Rong, in the past was just a small soldier under Dong Zhuo's account. β
Guo Da said slowly: "This matter is very important, let me think about it for a few days, and treat the angels of the court well." β
"No!" Yu Shan said goodbye and left.
Walking out of Guo Da's mansion, Yu Dan's face was not very good-looking, he pointed out two paths to Guo Da, the first one to take refuge in Cao Cao, live the second half of his life in peace, no need to beware of enemies from all sides at all times, and live the second half of his life in peace, the second is to conquer the world, obviously Guo Da has some intentions for the first, no matter what, he and Guo Da are both master and servant, and I don't want Guo Da Zuihou to be unhappy, no matter how Guo Da chooses, he will never give up, and the one who is a confidant dies, Yu Shan thinks that his talent is not high, and his strategy has many omissions, and he can take on heavy responsibilities in the army, which is completely Guo Da's trust.
Guo Da finally chose to take refuge in Cao Cao, and after years of fighting, he was a little tired of this kind of life, and Yu Shan did not show great surprise when he learned of Guo Da's choice, as if everything was expected, and his expression was carefree.
Guo Da's choice has caused a lot of controversy at the top of the Yellow Turban Army, since Guo Da led the Yellow Turban Army, it can be said that it is invincible, and now it has the land of two counties in Yuzhou, and has enough strength to compete with Cao Cao, it is not difficult to occupy the entire Yuzhou, Weishenme surrendered to Cao Cao, they really can't understand that in the troubled times, having soldiers in their hands is the biggest capital, and how can the family be strong, after breaking through the city, it is not a mermaid.
"It's been nearly ten years since the Yellow Turbans started the army, what have you got? Seeing countless relatives fall one by one, fleeing in a hurry under the pursuit of the Han army, and then developing again, such resistance is completely contrary to the will of the great sage and good teacher to start the army that day, the great sage and good teacher wants to establish a country that allows the people to live and work in peace and contentment, so that the people will no longer be oppressed, look back at what we have done, whenever we go to a place, continue to loot, and then the suffering people join the yellow turban again, so that the strength of the yellow scarf grows again, and then there is endless fighting, such a life, I'm sure you're all tired of it, aren't you? Guo Da said in a deep voice.
Guo Da has a prestige in the Yellow Turbans that ordinary people can hardly reach, and the Yellow Turbans of Montenegro have hundreds of thousands of troops, which can be described as powerful, but compared with Guo Da's achievements, it is a small thing, and Zhang Yan can only take a group of Yellow Turban coalition troops to be stationed in Montenegro, taking advantage of Yuan Shao's defenselessness to come to that point.
The Yellow Turban generals in the tent were silent, although Guo Da's words were extremely demoralizing to the Yellow Turban Army, but what he said was the truth, from an ordinary person to this point, for what, in the final analysis, they want to live a good life, if they can get all this without war, they will never pick up swords and guns to fight with the elite Han army, the people are simple, as long as they can live by tightening their belts and have enough to eat, they will never put their heads on their belts to rebel, and they followed the great sages and teachers at the beginning, but also out of helplessness, There is no food at home, and they see their relatives starving to death one after another, and their choice is, to a certain extent, the ruler forcing them to this point.
"After you go back, think about it, make a decision, and then discuss, if you are unwilling to surrender to the Han Court, I Guo Da will not be reluctant, but you can't force the soldiers under your command, brother, I don't want to zuihou swords and guns." After Guo Da finished speaking, he got up and left the big tent.
Zhang Han followed Guo Da to the Taishou Mansion in a single way, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that the lord has decided to surrender to Cao Cao?" β
Yu Shan glared at Zhang Han and said: "Among the princes of the world, there are seven shili, Xiliang Army Jia Rong, Cao Cao Jun, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Yizhou Liu Yan, Yangzhou Yuan Shu, Jizhou Yuan Shao, Xuzhou Tao Qian, these seven shili are the strongest among the princes today, the rest are not to worry, the Xiliang Army is strong, the name of courage is the world, and the Xiongnu are conquered, which battle is not exciting, Yanzhou Cao Cao, who had a prestige in his early years, assassinated Dong Zhuo alone, sent a text, crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and achieved a career, Now it has Qingzhou Yanzhou and half of Xuzhou, the strength is strong, Jizhou Yuan Shao, is the fourth three dukes, Yuan's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and Yuan Shao Lixian corporal, under his command can recruit good fighters such as clouds, good strategists are innumerable, Youzhou Gongsun Zan has repeatedly defeated his hands, is one of the strong army, Jingzhou Liu Biao is not enterprising enough, Yangzhou Yuan Shu, only know the tyranny, Yizhou Liu Yan, has been shrinking in the land of Yizhou, although the soldiers are full of food, but there is no enterprising heart, so among the seven shili, only Yuan Shao Cao Cao, and Jia Rong, is the strongest. β
After listening to Yu Dan's analysis, Guo Dadao: "Mr. Yu's words are reasonable, but the Son of Heaven is in Yanzhou, Cao Cao is thirsty for talent, if he is obedient, you can also be useful, Chang'an Jia Rong, is too far away from here, and our army has no interaction with it, I am afraid that I disdain to accept the yellow scarf, although there is a good name among the people, but it is not considered." β
Zhang Han exclaimed: "Did the lord decide to return to Cao Cao?" β
Guo Dadao: "I haven't thought about it yet!" In fact, he is more inclined to Cao Cao in his heart, otherwise he would not have said such words in the previous big tent, Cao Cao has the Son of Heaven in his hands, and he has taken refuge in him, which seems to be more justifiable, and the elite soldiers in Cao Cao's hands are unstoppable, Guo Da has never fought with the Xiliang Army, but he thinks that the Cao Army is definitely not much weaker than the world-famous Xiliang Army.
"My lord, although Chang'an Jia Rong is far away from here, he has a way to get in touch with them." Zhang Han said slowly.
Guo Da was shocked in his heart, but thinking of his previous decision in the big tent, he eased his mood, and now the Yellow Turban's choice is which side to take refuge into, not to investigate the question of who the generals under his command have dealings with. β
"Lord, military advisor, be careful that the wall has ears." Zhang Han said cautiously, half of the land of Yuzhou belongs to Cao Cao, maybe there are already Cao Cao's secret agents in the army today.
The three of them returned to Guo Da's camp, and the soldiers guarding here were personal soldiers who had followed Guo Da for many years, and they were worthy of trust.
Zhang Han said: "Have you ever heard of the Immortal Love Pavilion?" β
"Xianlian Pavilion must have a great relationship with the Xiliang Army, otherwise it would not have set up its headquarters in Jincheng first, and then followed Jia Rong to Chang'an, as long as you discuss it with the people of Xianlian Pavilion, you will definitely be able to get in touch with the Xiliang Army."
Guo Da thought for a long time and said, "General Zhang, this matter is up to you, don't leak the news." Zhang Han's words made his heart that originally decided to take refuge in Cao Cao ripple again, although Cao Cao is strong, but not as much as the Xiliang Army, and Jia Rong's strategy of governing the people is too similar to the original intention of the Great Sage and Good Teacher's uprising back then, and the generals under his command will not have great resistance to defect to the Xiliang Army, and what makes Guo Da even more important is that Jia Rong was born a civilian and has similarities with him.
