Chapter 68, The Butcher and the Pig
"What about Bong-hyo's marriage?"
Liu Bei suddenly asked a question, Guo Jia's invitation had been sent out, and the wedding date was just a few days away.
But looking at the current posture, the Bai Bo army estimates that it will raise troops in the next few days, and by then it is only afraid that it will collide with each other.
Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Naturally, it will be carried out as usual, if I cancel the marriage at this time, wouldn't it be telling Ding Yuan that we have seen through his plan?" ”
Liu Bei frowned and said, "In this way, will it be too aggrieved and filial piety." ”
Guo Jia said with a senseless face: "It's okay, I'll make up another one later." He just wanted to give Su Meiniang a name, and as for the problem of the wedding being interrupted, he could make up for it in the future.
Influencing the overall situation with personal affairs is a taboo for soldiers.
"Bong-hyo is really ...... Open-minded. ”
Liu Bei sighed at the same time, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, after everything is settled, I will give you Guo Fengxiao a grand wedding, and I will personally witness the marriage for you.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "However, this matter is very important, and it still needs to be carefully planned." ”
"Bonghyo is very right."
Liu Bei nodded in agreement, although they had thoroughly analyzed Ding Yuan's plan, one thing had never changed, that is, Ding Yuan still had six thousand wolf cavalry troops in his hands who could fight well.
On the surface, he has handed over the military power, but in order to avoid startling the snake, Liu Bei has not yet replaced the generals of this army. In other words, as long as Ding Yuan raised his arm, most of them would respond instantly.
At that time, if Ding Yuan chooses to fight to the death, the outcome is unpredictable.
Liu Bei immediately ordered people to summon Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, and Mi Zhu.
These four are all henchmen he brought, so don't worry about news leaks.
Half an hour later, several people arrived one after another.
Liu Bei looked at the few five people below, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: There are still too few ministers available.
Even if Zhang Liao Gaoshun in Yanmen County is counted, there are only four available generals under his command. In fact, he had already made up his mind that when the situation in the state stabilized, he would embark on another trip to visit Xian.
Unlike last time, his identity as a clan relative of the Han family has been recognized by the Son of Heaven, and he is the lord of the state, so it will be much smoother.
Liu Bei put away his thoughts and asked, "Second brother and third brother, how many soldiers and horses do you have in your hands now?" ”
These days, they have not been idle, and in the name of reorganizing the three armies, they have gathered some soldiers and horses in various counties.
Guan Yu took the lead and said, "Big brother, I now have more than 4,500 people under my command, 1,000 cavalry, 2,000 foot soldiers, and the rest are all crossbowmen. ”
Liu Bei nodded, and sighed again in his heart, only in the border pass can he have this kind of cavalry occupying nearly thirty percent of the total number of troops.
And Guan Yu is still quite little, more than half of the six thousand wolf horsemen under Ding Yuan's command are cavalry, and some even have two horses.
It's about the same in Yanmen County.
Zhang Fei followed closely with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
"Big brother, I now have 5,000 troops under my command, 1,080 cavalry, 2,000 foot soldiers, and the rest are all crossbowmen."
Liu Bei was surprised: "So many? ”
The two of them went to transfer troops together, why was there a difference of nearly 500 people before and after?
Guan Yu smiled bitterly and was silent.
Zhang Fei's eyes rolled wildly, as if he was thinking about something.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "It must be Yide who fights everywhere, and Yun Chang can only give up his hand because of his brother's identity." ”
Guan Yu immediately looked at Guo Jia and gave a look of "those who know me, and the military advisors are also".
Zhang Fei didn't feel guilty about snatching love with a knife, but said with a smile: "My second brother and I are like brothers, isn't his one mine?" ”
Good brothers, how to divide each other.
Liu Bei didn't bother to talk about him anymore, and it was something inconsequential about the left and right, as long as these soldiers and horses were in the hands of his own family.
He then got to the point.
"The military advisor's subordinates have carefully investigated the news, Ding Yuan has sent someone to contact Bai Bo Guotai, I am afraid that there will be trouble soon."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei already knew that Guo Jia had an intelligence team in his hands, and he was no stranger to this.
Mi Zhu and Jian Yong are different, they are working with Guo Jia for the first time, and they can't help but feel emotional.
The art of war, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
Sun Tzu has a point.
Ding Yuan's movements have been clearly detected by them, how can he be invincible?
Jian Yong said sincerely: "The military advisor is far-sighted and admires him. ”
Mi Zhu also agreed: "It seems that we can take the lead everywhere in the future." ”
Guo Jia bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "Actually, this is thanks to Brother Zizhong!" ”
Mi Zhu was puzzled: "What does it have to do with me?" ”
"Without Zizhong's money and food support, how can I form this team?"
"I see."
Mi Zhu suddenly realized, and suddenly felt that Guo Jia's eyes looking at him had changed, like a butcher sharpening his knife and looking at a fat pig.
He couldn't help but sigh secretly: It seems that he will have to contribute money and efforts in the future.
He heard something by chance before, the third general was also a famous hero in Zhuo County, and his family was quite wealthy. But since I met the military advisor, the family has been surrounded by walls...
"Hey...... What about the marriage of the military advisor? Zhang Fei also remembered this stubble, after all, they had received all the invitations.
"It doesn't matter, maybe it won't happen to be on the same day." Although Guo Jia said this, he had a faint intuition in his heart that Ding Yuan would choose this day, and the other party also received his invitation.
Because it coincides with a happy event, it is also the time when vigilance is most relaxed.
Zhang Fei didn't think too much, and when he heard this answer, he didn't ask any more.
Liu Bei said solemnly: "Having said that, Yide must not get drunk that day. ”
Although he had the heart to invite Jun into the urn, he didn't want to see the situation in Bingzhou eroded, in that case, even if he won the battle, it would be devastated everywhere.
Zhang Fei said seriously: "Big brother, I know the priorities. ”
"I hope so."
Liu Bei paused, and then said: "Since Ding Yuan has chosen Baibo Guotai, his strength must not be underestimated, and this time I am afraid that Wen Ruo will need to send an army to help." ”
This is to make sure nothing goes wrong and prepare for the worst. If Ding Yuan defects in the end, they can also quickly stabilize the situation.
Guo Jia nodded and said, "In the next meeting, you can send someone to send a message to Wen Ruo and ask him to send three thousand horsemen to help." ”
Jian Yong hesitated: "In this way, isn't there only two thousand troops left in Yanmen?" ”
The meaning of the words has been fully revealed, he is worried that the Hu people will take the opportunity to take advantage of the border.
Liu Bei looked at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia smiled and said confidently: "Don't worry, if Xun Wenruo is here, it will not be a problem to keep it for ten days and a half months." ”
The high walls of Yanmen City are strong, and the Hu people are not good at attacking the city, as long as the arrangements are properly arranged, it is indeed not difficult to defend for a period of time.
Guo Jia looked at Jian Yong and said jokingly: "What's going on with Xianhe?" ”
Jian Yong instantly understood that what he was currently doing was only the task of plotting against Lu Bu.
"He and Ding Yuan are by no means of the same heart, and there is a lot to do."
"It's better to try to reveal this matter to Ding Yuan and see how he reacts."
