Li Li said: "Ju Yi and his people can fight well, and there has been no defeat in leading the troops so far, so he can't help but be arrogant and arrogant, and the necessary tempering is not a bad thing for him." ”

Guo Jia did not agree with Li Li's words, thinking that this was purely a pretext, and retorted: "The lord's words are a bit far-fetched. No matter how Ju Yi acts, how innocent are the tens of thousands of soldiers under his account, how can they abandon all the soldiers because of the fault of one person? Moreover, since ancient times, there have been many people who have made good use of soldiers who are higher than others, and even if they have flaws, they have not concealed their flaws. Obviously, Guo Jia has resentment in his heart, and he is quite angry with a gun and a stick. In the Xiliang Army, only Guo Jia dared to refute Li Li so directly, but he was also outspoken, not mixed with personal interests, purely on the facts, and complained about the Juyi army.

Hearing that Guo Jia was not angry in his heart, Li Li smiled slightly, and said disapprovingly: "If you are higher than others, everyone will not be the same." Since Cao Cao's army besieged Changshan and Zhongshan, for a year, all the generals in the army avoided talking about it, only Fengxiao, Shi Cui Yan and several military advisors came forward to intercede for Ju Yi. This is the first of its kind in our army's previous operations; After receiving Ju Yi's letter asking for help, the defenders of the counties and the garrisons of the pass in the prefecture did not move, but sat back and waited for the military order, and did not send troops to rescue without reinforcement orders.

From this, it is not difficult to see how many generals Ju Yi has offended in just two years of serving me, which is really unpopular. If this were not the case, how could the garrisons in Shangdang, Huguan and Taiyuan be able to see death and not be saved, and he could be isolated and helpless? Isn't it for nothing that things in the world are drunk and pecked? After that, Li Li shook his head in disappointment. Mourn its misfortune and be angry with it.

However, Guo Jia heard from these words that Li Li was very dissatisfied with the garrisons in the counties of Bingzhou. From this, it is not difficult to speculate Li Li's real intentions in coming to Hedong this time: one is to send troops to rescue Ju Yi, and the other is to rectify and garrison the troops in the state. In particular, the generals of Shangdang, Huguan and Taiyuan County are difficult to get rid of, and I am afraid that they will suffer this time.

These generals who have followed Li Li to fight for many years, such as Teng Xiao, the general of Zhenbei, Tie Xiao, the general of Taiyuan, and Guo Meng, the general of Shangdang, are all famous generals in the army, and they are also the ones who are above the top. In this regard, Guo Jia has a deep understanding of this, and he is also polite to these arrogant soldiers on weekdays. I don't know how to do it. didn't take these generals into their eyes at all, and Teng Xiao, Tie Xiao and others couldn't urinate in the same pot, so that Teng Xiao, Tie Xiao and others were very dissatisfied with them, and they had long wanted to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson, so this time Ju Yi was in danger, but the generals saw death and couldn't save him, and sat back and watched him fight alone and fend for himself.

However, Teng Xiao and others' actions of not saving them when they saw death were obviously out of place. Ignoring the overall situation, taking revenge for personal gain, and disregarding the life and death of the 70,000 troops under Ju Yi's account, it was too much. This made Guo Jia extremely angry. So in front of Li Li, he bluntly pointed out that the reinforcement of the garrison of the state was unfavorable and could not be tolerated, and should be severely punished.

As the governor of the division. Guo Jia shouldered the heavy responsibility of the border security of the Gongwei Division and the annexation of the state, and the survival of the Juyi army was to contain Cao Cao of Jizhou to the greatest extent. so that they do not dare to act rashly. Therefore, the importance of Juyi's army is obvious. The plan must not be annihilated by Cao's army. Since the end of the Battle of Jizhou, it is precisely because Ju Yi has led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to stay in Jizhou that Cao Cao has been constrained everywhere, and he has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, but he does not dare to act rashly, and he feels like a rat and a mouse. Before Cao Cao exterminated the Juyi army, the Hebei army did not dare to send troops to attack the Hanoi camp, let alone send troops to Youzhou, so they could only stay in place and sit back and watch the Xiliang army block the border and firmly imprison it in Hebei, unable to move.

Therefore, the army led by Ju Yi is a nail wedged in Hebei, and with tens of thousands of troops, it can contain Cao Cao's 500,000 army, and has an irreplaceable strategic position. Because of this, Guo Jia attaches great importance to this army and horses, and he categorically cannot sit idly by and watch the Juyi army be annihilated or expelled by the Cao army, no matter what, he must maintain the existing basis and continue to play the role of containing the Cao army.

After a cup of tea, Guo Jia's thoughts turned sharply, and he said as if he had an understanding: "The situation in Bingzhou can't escape the eyes of the lord, if Weichen is not mistaken, I think the lord has already arranged for this." ”

Li Li bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from you Guo Jia." As you might expect, when I left Chang'an, I had ordered Xu Huang to lead his army to reinforcements, and five days earlier I had arrived at Changshan to join forces with Ju Yi to defend against Cao Ren's army. Subsequently, Tie Xiao and Hao Zhaoer led their troops to Montenegro to respond, and Zhang Yan's Feiyan rode into Montenegro to return to the old business and rebuild the Montenegrin camp. This time, if Ju Yi can hold Changshan Kingdom, Xu Huang will take over Changshan and continue to deal with Cao Jun; If Changshan is lost, they will all retreat to Montenegro, join Zhang Yan, and then attack Jizhou for a long time. This is the long-term plan formulated by Li Li when he took his family to Youzhou to inspect last year, and it has been kept secret, only Li Xuan and Li Ru, who participated in the planning, know about it, and no one else knows about it.

The increasingly clear situation determined that Cao Cao would never give up Changshan and Zhongshan, and sooner or later he would gather heavy troops to encircle and suppress Juyi's department, after all, the side of the couch would not allow others to snore. The survival of Juyi's army was intolerable to Cao Cao, and he was eager to get rid of it quickly, and Juyi's troops and horses were in the hinterland of Jizhou, separated by thousands of miles of Taihang Mountain in the middle of Bingzhou, which was not conducive to the rapid support of the Xiliang army. In this way, as long as Cao Cao is determined to recover the lost territory, sooner or later he can drive Juyi's army out of Jizhou. It was precisely when he saw this that Li Li took advantage of the inspection of Youzhou to readjust the layout of Hebei, and ordered Ju Yi to defend it, and he could retreat into the state when he had to do so; And Ju Yi is also clearly aware of his own situation, and when he met Li Li last time, he asked Li Li to allow him to adapt to the situation, which coincided with Li Li.

Unfortunately, the plan has not kept up with the changes. Ju Yi repelled the first encirclement and suppression of the Cao army with the 70,000 army in his hand, but with the comeback of Cao Ren's army, Ju Yi's soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties, and after the fall of Zhongshan Kingdom, they fell into the siege of Cao's army on all sides, and they could not retreat with their whole body. In desperation, Ju Yi, who had always been arrogant, had to ask for support from the rear of Bingzhou, but unexpectedly, Teng Xiao's subordinate generals Tie Xiao, Guo Meng and other generals had long had prejudices against Ju Yi, who had no one in their eyes, so they all stood still, and sat back and watched Ju Yi fight alone under siege, but he could not save him when he saw death.

However, this qiē could not hide the meticulous eyeliner of Li Li's command all over the army, and the news was transmitted to Li Li as soon as possible. Teng Xiao, Tie Xiao, Guo Meng and others disregarded the overall situation, which made Li Li quite angry, prompting him to rush to Bingzhou in person while sending troops for reinforcements. Before that, he first went to the camp in Hanoi and met with Guo Jia, who was guarding Hedong, to discuss the upcoming situation in the world, and then went to the state to rectify the military discipline.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. In the early years, Li Li ordered Teng Xiao to garrison Bingzhou, so he sent the generals and veterans who had followed him in the early battles to the border of Bingzhou, with the intention of leaving them from the front line and living a few days of stability in the rear. Don't admit it, these guys don't appreciate it, just because Ju Yi is arrogant and unruly, and is not respectful enough to them, they take revenge for personal gain, ignore Ju Yi's repeated requests for help, and sit back and watch Ju Yi's army fight alone and die without help. Such a private act of abolishing the public made Li Li deeply disgusted and angry. In order to avoid intensifying the conflict and taking into account the old feelings, Li Li could only make a trip in person, and could not fake his hands to others; Otherwise, once it is not handled properly, it is difficult to ensure that Tie Xiao, Guo Meng and others will not make mistakes and regenerate incidents.

Seeing Li Li's displeasured expression and a faint cold light in his eyes, Guo Jia felt sorry in his heart, so he changed the topic and said: "The lord must have something important to do when he comes to the camp, and I also ask the lord to make it public, and Weichen will not let the lord down." ”

Seeing Guo Jia's troubled appearance, Li Li was troubled, and said with a smile: "In this case, why should Feng Xiao ask knowingly? The reason why you were ordered to stay still is to adjust the state garrison this time, and this section must have been thought of by Feng Xiao a long time ago. Hehehe! ”

Guo Jia nodded happily and said with a smile: "The lord is wise." According to the usual practice, before we know it, the three-year period is approaching, and the garrisons and battalion commanders in various localities will undergo a new round of transfers. Since the lord came to the Hanoi camp, Weichen guessed that the 100,000 troops in the camp were also in this rotation, and he would go to Bingzhou for rotation in the near future. I don't know if what Weichen said is true? ”

Li Li said: "That's right. I intend that the Hanoi army will be transferred to the garrison of Bingzhou, and Wen Hoa will serve as the governor of Bingzhou, and the commander-in-chief will be the defense of Bingzhou. The governor of Sili was taken over by Chen Gong, Teng Xiao led 100,000 troops stationed in Hanoi, and Feng Xiao was transferred to the Zhonghu Army, with me. In addition, Ju Yi was temporarily transferred from the Xiandeng camp and transferred to the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, Xu Huang took over as the chief general of the Xiandeng camp, and Hao Zhao and Sun Li were the deputy generals, stationed in Huguan; Guo Huai served as the deputy general of Feiyan's light cavalry, and Zhang Yan was his deputy, stationed in the Black Mountain camp. The generals of the other battalions will not be transferred for the time being, after all, the current situation is grim, and it has become a three-legged trend, and it is expected that someone will not wait to usurp the emperor in the near future. ”

"That's very good. Weichen has long had this intention, and has repeatedly asked for resignation, but the lord does not allow it, and now he has finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish and can get along with the lord day and night. Guo Jiaxi couldn't help but say.

Li Li smiled knowingly: "Regardless of whether your words are sincere or not, I have the right to listen to the truth." To be honest, I'm really not used to you leading the army all these years, so I took advantage of this rotation to transfer you to my side, so that I don't even have someone to talk to. Hehehe! ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "What the lord said is exactly what Wei Chen thinks. In all fairness, the lord ordered Weichen to take charge of the army before he did have the meaning of catching ducks on the shelves, Weichen was lazy by nature, and it was not a problem to give advice, but leading the army to fight was not his own strength, and he was not able to do it. Fortunately, the situation in the past two years has been relatively calm, there has been no war, and Wechen has done his best to maintain the status quo and finally survived. I don't know when the lord is going to leave for Bingzhou, can Weichen accompany him? ”

Li Li happily agreed: "Chen Gong will be able to arrive this afternoon, and Xun Chen will take over the position of Si Li's assassin history, and then Fengxiao and Gongtai will hand over it, and then pack your bags and go to Bingzhou with me early tomorrow morning." ”
