Chapter 607: See Guo Huai Again (Plus More, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Guan Xing is different from Zhang Shao, there is no possibility of relaxation between him and Zhuge Liang. At the end of last year, Guan Feng officially married Wei Ba. Although there are not many guests, even Wei Ba himself is not in Chengdu, and the little sister Wei Lan'er replaces the worship, but she is married by Ming Media, which is completely in line with the procedure.
The Guan family has clearly stood on Wei Ba's side, and Guan Xing can no longer expect to maintain friendship with Zhuge Liang, and it is already commendable to maintain the politeness on the surface.
This is also because Wei Ba has not torn his face with Zhuge Liang so far, and it is not something that Guan Xing can control. Since Wei Ba is willing to maintain this zuihou's face, Guan Xing will not be stupid enough to take the initiative to provoke Zhuge Liang.
After all, he is not the Guan Yu who said everything back then. The friendship between him and today's Bixia is far less close than that between Guan Yu and Liu Bei back then.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that Zhuge Liang doesn't give him such a chance.
So when he heard that Zhuge Liang was going to invite him to discuss the matter, and it was a tactical deduction, Guan Xing's sensitive little heart was suddenly injured. Fuck, the prime minister bullied me, and you dare to make fun of Lao Tzu even a little scribe?
The scribe was very depressed, he didn't know how to anger Guan Junhou, and he couldn't make sense no matter what he said, so he had to go back in disgrace. Zhuge Liang listened, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he was just about to speak, when Zhang Yu, who had already arrived, stood up. "Prime Minister, he must have drunk too much, I'll take a look."
Zhuge Liang waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Jing to go and return quickly. Zhang Ling came out of the big tent of the Chinese army and came to Guan Xing's camp, and when he saw Guan Xing's angry appearance, he couldn't help but complain: "Dingguo, what are you?" ”
I saw Zhang Ling. Guan Xing realized that he might have misunderstood, and he couldn't help but be a little sneering.
"Why are you here?"
"There's no time to talk nonsense with you." Zhang Ling looked around, picked up the basin of water beside him, and poured a basin of cold water on Guan Xing's head. Guan Xing was defenseless, he was drenched in soup, jumped up all of a sudden, and shouted: "Shaft, what do you want?" ”
"What? Save you! As he spoke, Zhang Ling pulled up the big next to him, pulled up Guan Xing and ran. Guan Xing is in charge of Yu Linlang. Right next to Zhuge Liang's Chinese army. Climb over a barrier and arrive. Although the spring breeze was warm, Guan Xing, who was soaked all over, was blown by the wind, and he still shivered involuntarily and sneezed a few times in succession. All the way to Zhuge Liang. He was still "yawning" and yawning.
"What's going on?" Zhuge Liang and the others were surprised.
"He was fine in the camp. I was drinking, and I heard that the prime minister was called, for fear of confusion and misconduct. So I poured myself a basin of cold water to sober myself up. Zhang Ling said seriously: "I asked him to change his clothes and come back, but he resolutely refused, so he ...... Please also forgive him for his rudeness. ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head with a smile and waved his hand: "Come on, go to the given country and get a dry clothes." Dingguo, sit by the fire, warm up, the big war is coming, you can't get sick. ”
Guan Xing is no matter how muddy he is, it is not easy to contradict Zhuge Liang at this time, so he hurriedly thanked him and sat by the fire. Huo Yi took the initiative to give him a place, and brought a cloth towel to wipe his face and dry clothes. Guan Xing wiped it hastily, changed into a clean shirt, wiped off his nose, and wrapped his clothes tightly.
Zhuge Liang explained the situation, and then turned his gaze to Guan Xing: "Dingguo, you first tell me what kind of steps Wei Ziyu took when he did tactical deduction with you. ”
After this period of busyness, Guan Xing has come to his senses, he recalled the situation back then, and talked about them one by one. Among the people here, he is the most aware of this set of processes, and naturally he is more accurate than Zhuge Liang and others, who only know it theoretically, not to mention that there is Zhang Ling to add on the side. After listening to his narration, Zhuge Liang arranged the roles, and everyone began to deduce the tactics of both sides together.
Tactical deduction requires changing one's own thinking habits and observing the entire battle situation from a higher level, so that while being able to grasp the overall situation better, the things that need to be considered are also more complicated, and of course, everyone needs to pay attention. Even with Zhuge Liang's cleverness, it was the first time to carry out such a tactical deduction, and he felt a little difficult. Fortunately, the people involved are all outstanding talents of Shu Han, and once their liliang is concentrated, its power is not small.
After a night of tactical deduction, Zhuge Liang roughly understood that Cao Zhi had several possibilities, and more importantly, he successfully stabilized people's hearts, making everyone realize that although this change had a significant impact, it was not helpless, and although the summed up plan could not be perfect, but in the process of discussion, the situation of both sides was clarified, and the clues were clarified, and finally no longer so flustered.
Guan Xingzuihou concluded: "Wei Ziyu told us back then that tactical deduction cannot be regarded as a real tactical arrangement, but can only be used as a means of staff officers, as detailed as possible to objectively grasp the possibility of the opponent's tactics, however, the two sides arrange troops, the role of generals can not be underestimated, Cao Zhi is the first time to lead the troops, what his tactics are, no one can say, so the prime minister can not rely too much on this kind of deduction, but also leave room to occupy an advantage in the strength of the army as much as possible." ”
Zhuge Liang smiled tiredly: "It seems that the basin of water is worth it, and you are speaking very soberly now." ”
Everyone laughed, Guan Xing was a little embarrassed, and glanced at Zhang Ling gratefully. Zhang was indifferent, as if he didn't feel anything.
Zhuge Liang asked people to prepare some breakfast, everyone got together to eat, and after a short rest, Zhuge Liang ordered the drumming to gather the generals.
Half an hour later, the generals ordered to leave the camp, and Ma Dai rushed out of the camp with 4,000 cavalry.
……
Xiahou Ba led the army to break through a military cantonment, and the more than 200 soldiers in the military cantonment couldn't stop the 3,000 Wei army, and the battle ended quickly. The Wei soldiers mercilessly robbed all the grain, slaughtered all the sheep in the camp, and feasted on them. They are all people who have no tomorrow, and if they can enjoy it, they should seize the time to enjoy it.
Xiahou Ba grabbed a piece of half-cooked meat, nibbled it bite by bite, and suddenly noticed that a captive looked wrong. He pointed, and the two guards walked over, pulled the captive out of the crowd, and pushed it in front of Xiahou Ba.
Xiahou Ba stared at him twice and was taken aback: "Are you ...... Guo Boji? ”
Guo Huai sighed and stood up straight. He was originally rickety, with a scruffy beard, a dark face, and didn't talk much, looking like a wooden farmer, but as soon as he stood up straight, he immediately revealed a different temperament from ordinary tuntian.
"I'm ashamed."
"Why are you here?" Xiahou Ba threw the meat in his hand a little helplessly, wiped his hands on his pants, and bowed his hand: "Wei Ba begged for a pardon from Bixia, you are already innocent." With your talent, how could you ......"
Guo Huai smiled bitterly: "I am now a Tuntian pawn who once tried to escape, they only know that my name is Guo Ji, but they don't know that my name is Guo Huai." ”
"Escape?" Xiahou Ba was in a trance and somewhat understood. He laughed: "The family is poor and filial sons, and it is difficult to see loyal ministers in the country." Guo Boji, if Bixia knows, he will definitely reward you. Come, march with me and make a contribution. ”
Guo Huai shook his head: "I can't." ”
Xiahouba's face sank, Guo Huai knew that he was coming, but he didn't take the initiative to come to see him, but he hid in the crowd, he felt that something was wrong. Now that Guo Huai has rejected him again, he is even more suspicious of Guo Huai's intentions.
"Don't overthink it." Guo Huai sighed: "When I was captured by Wei Ba, Wei Ba once made me swear that I could not surrender, but I could no longer be an enemy of Shu Han, otherwise, he would immediately cut off my head." ”
Xiahou Ba's eyes flashed, and his expression softened. He is very clear about Guo Huai's experience, when Guo Huai came out, he was first appointed as the head of the Pingyuan Mansion, that is, Cao Zhi's Pingyuan Hou Mansion, Cao Pi didn't know how to learn about him, and tried to summon him to his side and made him a thief Cao. I don't know how Cao Cao knew about this matter, and Cao Cao recruited him from Cao Pi's side again, and turned him into the prime minister Cao Yilingshi, and together they conquered Hanzhong. After the Battle of Hanzhong, Guo Huai never returned to Yecheng, and has been following Xiahou Yuan to fight in Guanzhong and Longyou.
Guo Huai's career twists and turns, which contains the shadow of the Cao brothers' struggle for the crown, does not depend on his personal will. As Xiahou Yuan's son, Xiahou Ba has also heard about the situation. Now that Cao Zhi is leading the troops, it is understandable that Guo Huai wants to stay out of the matter. As for the promise to Wei Ba, who knows if he is true or false.
However, it is immoral to force people to break their oaths, and if Xiahou Ba must do this, he will not be able to redeem Guo Huai's heart, and it will also leave people with a handle.
Xiahou Ba shook his head regretfully: "Since that's the case, then I won't force you." If you still want to go back to your hometown, now is your chance. I'll give you horses and dry food, and you keep going east, and if you meet King Chen, bring me a message. ”
Guo Huai hesitated for a moment, he knew that Xiahou Ba was doing Zuihou's efforts, and hoped that Cao Zhi would personally keep him, otherwise there was no need to let him bring any message. He nodded, not refusing Xiahouba's kindness.
Sending Guo Huai away, Xiahou Ba sighed for a while, and someone came to report that Ma Dai, the general of Shu Han Pingbei, led 4,000 cavalry, and was galloping here. When Xiahou Ba heard this, he stood up and ordered loudly: "The whole army is assembled and ready to go." ”
Niu Jin rushed over and walked forward side by side with Xiahou Ba: "General, do you want to fight?" ”
"Fighting?" Xiahou Ba shook his head: "We don't fight, our goal is not to defeat anyone, but to harass Zhuge Liang and make it difficult for Zhuge Liang to live in peace." We will not engage any of the more than 500 men and horses, let alone 4,000 cavalry. Once entangled, even if you win, it is a miserable victory, and it is not worth it. ”
Niu Jin thought about it and knew that what Xiahou Ba said made sense, which Cao Zhi had taken care of again and again before they left. But he was still a little unwilling, and reminded: "General, Shu Han has no cavalry, and these 4,000 cavalry are probably the only cavalry in Shu Han." If you can defeat them, it will be equivalent to cutting off Zhuge Liang's arm. ”
Xiahou Ba raised his eyebrows, a little moved, he turned over on the horse, looked into the distance, and pointed to the northeast with a horse whip: "Go to Duyang." ”
When Niu Jin heard this, he was immediately discouraged. Du Yang was in their northeast direction, although it was not an escape, but it was almost like an escape. It seems that Xiahou Ba still doesn't dare to fight against Ma Dai...... (To be continued......)
