When Guo Jia heard this, he was overjoyed, knowing that his strategy would be adopted by Guan Yu, and this war would come to an end soon.

Guo Jia is confident that he will definitely be able to end this war before spring ploughing.

Guan Yu stood up and stopped his subordinates from wanting to talk about it.

"I have made up my mind, needless to say, this battle must end as soon as possible, the Yellow Turban thieves have a shallow foundation, and it is the time for our army to decisively move forward and completely destroy it! Our army should move forward bravely, never flinch, and let the thieves have a good look at how invincible our army is! Conquer it all! ”

Guan Yu waved his hand, majestic and majestic.

Although he has a lot of opinions about Guo Jia and is still a little unhappy in his heart, at this moment, Guan Yu chooses to follow his inner voice and believes in Guo Jia's judgment on this matter.

And in the final analysis, the Han army is more numerous than the Yellow Turban Shanyue coalition army, and with strong troops, Guan Yu has the confidence to do things.

So he left Huang Zhong, who was in a good position, to lead the troops to guard the rear, and personally led the three independent battalions of Gan Ning, Shi Jian and Yan Xing to continue to advance, and continued to implement fire attack tactics and advance tactics.

Facts have proved that Guo Jia's judgment was right.

The Han army continued to carry out fire attack tactics and continued to move forward, inflicting a fierce blow on the Yellow Turban Shanyue coalition army.

The Yellow Turban Shanyue coalition army launched a number of counter-charges against the Han army, but its combat effectiveness was inferior to that of the Han army.

And their attempt to threaten the logistics of the Han army also ended because of the lack of troops - or rather, Fei Zhan, who saw that the situation was getting more and more wrong, did not want to continue fighting.

Fei Zhan didn't want to waste his troops to help the Yellow Turban Army continue to fight against the Han Army.

By the end of December, a few days before the New Year's Day, the Han army had already pushed the battle line to the periphery of the mountainous area where the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army was located, and the mountainous area where the old nest of the Danyang Shanyue Headquarters was located, and all the surrounding hill strongholds had been taken.

It means that the Han army has completed the tactical encirclement of the nest of the Yellow Turban Shanyue coalition army.

The Han army attacked all the way and burned all the way, and all the fierce fire oil tanks stored in Lujiang County and Jiujiang County were consumed by the army, and this piece of mountainous area was a mess, which can be called a plant killer.

The good news came one after another, the Han army advanced step by step, and it looked like it was about to annihilate the Yellow Turban Army.

But the bad news is that the fierce fire oil tanks have run out, and the new batch is on the way to the front line, and it will take at least half a month to reach the front.

Moreover, the sunny weather of the past few days is over, and after a winter rain, there is another heavy snowfall, and the mountain roads are even more difficult to navigate, and if the fire attack tactics are continued, the effect will be much reduced.

The generals in the army have made a great difference to Guo Jia these days, because everything he said before has basically come true.

Continuing to carry out resolute offensive tactics has indeed achieved great success, the Yellow Turban Army is really at the end of the crossbow, the previous threat is only the last bravery, after a flash in the pan, the counterattack is becoming more and more weak.

After that, the Yellow Turbans and Shanyue armies no longer had a strong threat to the logistics of the Han army.

Even if it is the logistics road that has been discovered, the Yellow Turban Army and the Shanyue Gang have never attacked again, it is very safe, and although the logistics supply of the Han army on the front line is not easy, there has never been a shortage after all.

And more importantly, on the second day when the fierce fire oil tank was almost exhausted, it rained, and then there was heavy snowfall, and some people used the few remaining fierce fire oil tanks to carry out incineration experiments, and found that the fire attack tactics in this weather were indeed ineffective.

The smoke is thick with burning and choking, but the lethality and deterrence of the battlefield are not enough.

So the officers' opinion of Guo Jia is no longer a thin little white face, but they treat him as a marching staff officer seriously.

On the day of heavy snowfall, Guan Yu found Guo Jia, personally handed him a cup of hot wine for him to drink, and asked him about his next views on battlefield tactics.

"At present, the snow is heavy and the mountains are closed, the roads are muddy and difficult to walk, the army is difficult to advance, and the important weapon of the fierce fire oil tank has been lost, if you continue to advance, although you can win in the end, but you will definitely pay a great price, I can't bear it, Fengxiao, what do you think?"

Guo Jia held the hot wine glass and took a sip comfortably.

"General Guan is benevolent, this is a good thing, but in my opinion, in fact, it is nothing to postpone the attack, the matter has come to this point, the Yellow Turban Thief will be defeated, just wait for the weather to clear and a new batch of fierce fire oil cans arrive, even if it is this whole mountain, we can burn it clean."

"Then there will be a truce and a halt in this time? Will the Yellow Turban Thief do anything? ”

"There should be, and they won't sit still, seeing that our army is closing the mountain and doing nothing, they should send people to try to break through, but as long as our army is strictly defended, they won't have any chance to take advantage of it."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Our army should be able to have a stable New Year's Festival, and the soldiers have worked hard during this time, so it's not good to prepare some wine and meat for them to eat and drink to celebrate the New Year's Festival?" ”

"That's nature."

Guan Yu nodded: "But if you don't do anything, isn't it a little ......?"

"General Guan's worries, I know it, so I ......"

Guo Jia took another sip of hot wine and said slowly, "I have an idea." ”

"Oh? What's the idea? ”

Guan Yu looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia put down the hot wine glass in his hand.

"I want to send someone to contact Danyang Shanyue, if I can, I want to visit the leader of Danyang Shanyue, discuss some cooperation matters with him, and strive to make him abandon the Yellow Turban, cooperate directly with us, raid the Yellow Turban Thief's lair from the rear, and end the Yellow Turban Thief's resistance as soon as possible."

"This ......"

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the way Liu Bei divided and disintegrated the mountain bandits and finally succeeded in solving this problem.

In the art of war, Guo Jia has changed from a bastard and a vase to a capable person in his eyes, a capable person who is valued by Liu Bei, and he will definitely not do meaningless things.

"Fengxiao, do you want to persuade Danyang Shanyue to take this opportunity to join the imperial court and use them to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thieves?"

Guo Jia nodded.

"Again, I don't think Danyang Shanyue can choose to live and die with the Yellow Turban Thief at all, this is incredible to them, I think, Danyang Shanyue must be very anxious now, must be very unwilling to accept the reality.

At this moment, if we can give them a way out and let them see life, then it may be much more convenient to persuade them to cooperate with the imperial court and launch an attack on the Yellow Turban Thieves from their position. ”

Guan Yu habitually stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes, and muttered for a moment.

"Wouldn't that be dangerous for you? No one knows if those mountain thieves are crazy, in case they are in danger......"

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, and if you don't take some risks, how can you get the desired result?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "And I'm not a pure adventure, General Guan, I have also thought it through, standing in the position of these Shanyue thieves, they definitely don't want to be destroyed by the imperial army with the Yellow Turban Thieves, let alone really offend the imperial court, they just want to live their lives in peace, they really want to annoy the imperial court, send a large army to encircle and suppress, and their lives are not easy." ”

"But the Shanyue thieves will be exterminated in the end, just as the imperial court treats the mountain bandits in Bingzhou."

Guan Yu hesitated: "Eliminate now, and eliminate later, it's no different, right?" ”

"The general did not completely eliminate the mountain bandits in Bingzhou, but divided and collapsed."

Guo Jia said slowly: "If the imperial army now gives the Shanyue thieves an image that they can only fight and not negotiate, then it will be very harmful to the imperial court to run Yangzhou in the future."

If there is a good cooperation, maybe it will be able to make more Shanyue thieves less tyrannical, and give the imperial court time to run Yangzhou safely.

Therefore, I think it is necessary for us to adopt a pacification strategy against the Shanyue thieves, separate them from the Yellow Turban thieves to deal with them, and then divide and disintegrate some of them, so that we can pacify these thieves more quickly. ”
