Until the army arrived in Lujiang, Guo Jia did not put forward any suggestions for marching and fighting, but was just playing a transparent decision-making person.

When the army crossed the river to prepare for the battle, he symbolically echoed Guan Yu's suggestion, suggesting that the battle time should be advanced and strive to end the war in the winter without delaying spring ploughing.

At that time, no one regarded this matter as Guo Jia's opinion, but felt that he was echoing Guan Yu and being a bastard, and no one paid attention to him.

The subsequent marching operations were also ordered by Guan Yu's command and was responsible for the whole army, and Guo Jia's so-called counselor military aircraft was to attend meetings, make records, and do nothing else.

Everyone thinks that Guo Jia is really just a parallel import who came to gild and mix experience.

As a result, at such a critical moment, Guo Jia suddenly appeared and put forward a completely different idea, blatantly refuting the common proposal of dozens of officers, and confronting them without fear.

This surprised everyone.

Subsequently, the officers expressed dissatisfaction with Guo Jia's view, and although he was a marching staff officer, no one obeyed him.

"The grain road is the most important existence in the march, without food, what war do we fight? It is true that our army does not have only one grain road, but every grain road is meaningful, and the army camp only has five days of grain storage. ”

"The grain road is too important, the most important thing to do at the moment is to ensure that the grain road is safe, not to move forward, lengthening the grain road will give thieves an opportunity to take advantage of, general, don't continue to advance!"

"General, Staff Officer Guo has no experience in marching and fighting, his opinion is too dangerous, I hope the general will not adopt it!"

Most of the generals in the army opposed Guo Jia's opinion and were very dissatisfied with Guo Jia's opinion.

But Guo Jia did not flinch, and confronted a group of arrogant soldiers with his neck in front of him, without fear.

"Our army's combat strength is far stronger than the thief army, and the original tactic of the thief army is to hold on, hoping to drag down our army's logistics with the hill defense line, and do not want to engage our army head-on, which means that the thief army itself thinks that they are not our army's opponents.

It is precisely because of our army's fire attack tactics that the thief army will adopt the tactics of taking the initiative to attack, but taking the initiative to attack is not the opponent of our army, threatening the grain is their last resort, and the thief army actually has no choice.

Moreover, it has only been a few months since the thief army entered Danyang County, and it is not even a year before the foundation is unstable, if there is no help from the local Shanyue thieves, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the local area, and it must be the local Shanyue thieves who find the grain road, not the Yellow Turban thieves themselves.

Its background is so shallow, despite this, they can mix with the Shanyue thieves in a few months, which shows that they are good at winning over local forces, and over time, they will become a big disaster! If you don't take this opportunity to uproot it in one fell swoop, there will be endless troubles! ”

Huang Zhong and Guo Jia are both from the general Peng, but he can't agree with this view.

"I heard that the reason for the defeat of the Yangzhou official army before was that the Danyang Shanyue thieves and the Yellow Turban Army joined forces, which shows that Danyang Shanyue has conspired with the Yellow Turban Army, which I agree with.

Although the Yellow Turban thieves have a shallow foundation, but with the help of the Shanyue thieves in the war, isn't it worth the cautious treatment of our army? Staff Officer Guo, I'm afraid now is not the time to rush in, right? ”

Guo Jia shook his head again and again, disagreeing with Huang Zhong's opinion.

"When I was in my hometown, I heard for a long time that Jiangdong people have always been xenophobic, and they don't have a good impression of the northerners, and the northerners discriminate against the Jiangdong people as barbarians, and the Jiangdong people will also join forces against the northerners and secretly insult the northerners.

This is a hundred years of accumulated shortcomings, it can not be solved overnight, let alone the Yellow Turban Thieves can be solved in a few months, the Yellow Turban Thieves started in Qingxu Erzhou, they are northerners, in such a short period of time, how can they be sincerely accepted by Jiangdong people?

How capable are the Yellow Turban Thieves, and how can they make the Shanyue Thieves help the Yellow Turban Thieves against the imperial army at the expense of their own losses? It was normal for them to help the Yellow Turban Thieves fight against the Yangzhou officials and soldiers before, and without the Yellow Turban Thieves, they would still fight against the Yangzhou officials and soldiers!

Wouldn't they be enemies of the official army without the Yellow Turban Thieves? If so, how did these hundreds of thousands of Shanyue thieves appear? Did it come out of nowhere?

They have their own internal contradictions, which does not prevent them from unanimously squeezing out the northerners, and the Shanyue thieves may use the Yellow Turban thieves more, these two, when the interests are the same, they can work together, once there is a crisis, the Shanyue thieves will inevitably abandon the Yellow Turban thieves in order to survive! ”

Guan Yu frowned, stroked his beard, and thought thoughtfully.

"Staff Officer Guo, do you mean that the relationship between the Shanyue thieves and the Yellow Turban thieves is not an alliance? They don't have a strong relationship? If possible, the Yamagoe thieves would even shoot at the Yellow Turban thieves? ”

"Naturally, General Guan, it's still the same sentence, the cooperation between them has only been a few months, how can there be a close relationship between the rejection of the southerners and the northerners?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "It's not so much that they have a close relationship with each other, but that they may betray each other anytime and anywhere.

But when a more powerful force comes to target the Yellow Turban Thief, the Shanyue Thieves will definitely not take risks for the Yellow Turban Thieves, if the imperial army continues to win and be strong, the Shanyue Thieves will definitely abandon the Yellow Turban Thieves when they see that things cannot be violated, and at that time, the Yellow Turban Thieves will inevitably perish!

And the premise of all this is that our army shows the momentum to exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves at all costs! If our army can't eliminate the Yellow Turban Thieves with decisive momentum, but instead gives the Yellow Turban Thieves a chance to breathe, then the Shanyue Thieves will inevitably look up to the Yellow Turban Thieves even more!

At that time, the help that the Yellow Turban Thieves can get will be far more than now, and our army will really fall into the quagmire of being an all-out enemy with the Shanyue thieves, and will not be able to extricate itself in the short term, so this battle must end as soon as possible, and the Shanyue thieves must see this momentum, and continue to break through, never stop! ”

As he spoke, Guo Jia clenched his fists: "In this way, the Shanyue thieves will inevitably be shaken, the Yellow Turban thieves will also be afraid, and the situation will be reversed in an instant!" They can no longer muster the strength to threaten the logistics of our army, and this battle will definitely end before the beginning of spring! ”

Guo Jia's analysis made Guan Yu seem to see Liu Bei's high-spirited appearance when he was young in a trance.

He vaguely remembered that when he was on the battlefield in Liangzhou, many times when everyone was facing difficulties, it was Liu Bei who stood up, guided the right direction, and led everyone to face the difficulties.

He even personally led his troops to the most dangerous places, fought bloody battles, and finally turned the situation around and won a brilliant victory.

So his favorite phrase is to "turn the tide".

So Guan Yu fell into deep thought.

However, most of the generals in the army still opposed this proposal.

When they first came to Jiangnan to fight, they still thought that everything was the best policy, and if they ventured forward, in case of failure, the impact would be too great for the Jiangnan Military Region, and it would also have a great impact on Guan Yu, who had just taken office as the general of Zhennan.

This war is not only a military consideration, but also a political consideration.

In the meeting, only Gan Ning and Wei Yan supported Guo Jia.

Huang Zhong was silent, as if he felt that what Guo Jia said was also reasonable, and did not insist on his own opinion, but just looked at Guan Yu.

Others are all against it.

Tilting less, Guan Yu looked at Gan Ning and Wei Yan who expressed their support.

"Why do you two support Staff Officer Guo's opinion?"

Gan Ning grinned.

"I think what Staff Officer Guo said is reasonable, our army's military strength is far superior to that of the thief army, and it is not a joke that we have to retreat just because of the slight threat to the logistics and grain routes? It's better to gallop forward, attack quickly, catch them off guard, and make those thieves fall apart! ”

Wei Yan was a little calmer.

"I also think what Staff Officer Guo said is reasonable, if you go to save logistics, the thieves are in the middle of the attack, and the army is marching and fighting, how can you fight according to what the enemy thinks? What does the thief army want us to do, we can't let the thief succeed, besides, it is true that there is not only one grain route, this risk is not fatal. ”

Guan Yu continued to stroke his beard, squinting his eyes, muttering for a moment, and then opening his eyes, his eyes full of confidence.

"The thieves are indeed cunning and dangerous, but compared to the thieves, we are the ones who should make the thieves feel the danger the most. The more thieves want us to do something, we can't do it! What Staff Officer Guo said is reasonable. ”
