Chapter 371: Only the east wind is owed
In the room, as Guo Jia's words fell, it suddenly became quiet, and the eyes of several people immediately followed.
"I originally wanted to divide the army into two ways, one way as Feng Xiao said to attack from Bingzhou, and the other way was originally from Sizhou to Yecheng, the previous words of Wen He were indeed reasonable, and now I don't know how to move the army." He is a small person living at the bottom of the society, and naturally knows how much he has, whether it is Yizhou or Qianghu before, Dong Zhuo is more likely to decide the general direction with his insight far beyond this era, but in the same way, he was born at the bottom, and he has also developed a different ability, such as eyesight, such as knowing people and being good at work, etc., Dong Zhuo does not hide what he doesn't understand.
"My lord." As if he had expected Dong Zhuo to ask this question, Guo Jia smiled indifferently on his face, and quickly started to spread a map on the desk in front of Dong Zhuo, and then pointed to one of them and said: "There is a Taihang Mountain Range between Bingzhou and Jizhou, but the lord forgot that Yuan Shao had sent troops from Jizhou to the party when the war broke out in Jizhou before, this is one, and second, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan have teamed up to invade the border, almost caught us off guard, and the road they are traveling with can be used as the route of the lord's army." ”
After a pause, Guo Jia then said out loud: "If you really want to talk about it, you have to thank Yuan Shao for this, the second road was originally an old road, and it has long been abandoned and difficult to pass, if he didn't send someone to open up this road, we would have to spend a lot of money if we want to use it, of course, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan can't say that the lord also has to thank him." ”
Seeing the doubts on Dong Zhuo's face, Guo Jia suddenly sneered and laughed: "The lord may not know that after the failure of the invasion of the state, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan rushed back in a hurry because of Yuan Shao's offense. Material resources were needed to repair a road that was of no use to them for the time being, so the whole road was put on hold, and now there was no repair, not even the most basic guards. ”
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at the other two, he was stunned to find that the two of them didn't know if they hadn't heard Guo Jia's words, and there was no surprise or curiosity on their faces, as if they had already known about it, or maybe they had planned to do so.
"With Yuan Shao's wealth and wealth, he is reluctant to repair it, although the development of Yongliang Land is not bad, it is still a lot worse than the Yuan family's heritage, besides, as you said, this passage has been abandoned, we must repair this road if we want to pass through it, how much money it will cost will not be said for the time being, how can Yuan Shao not be aware of such a big movement." Looking at Guo Jia, Dong Zhuo asked with confusion.
"That's easy." After a sip of wine and drank it secretly, Guo Jia only felt refreshed for a while, and immediately said after coming back to his senses: "Although this road is broken, but after all, the lord is just passing through with the army, and he only needs to clean it up a little, so as not to hinder the army from moving forward, now Jizhou is empty, Yuan Shao can't take care of all the places in Jizhou at all, plus when Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan fled last year, the road between here and Youzhou was made transparent, so to speak, Now the north of Jizhou is far easier to attack than the south. ”
Dong Zhuo suddenly heard this, thinking about it, in order to guard against Cao Cao, Yuan Shao was heavily guarded on the border between him and Cao Cao, once Guangping and Wei County were attacked, these people could be drawn out at any time to block, and once they couldn't take Jizhou quickly, if Yuan Shao came back to his senses, if he recruited troops on a large scale, with the wealth and density of Jizhou, I am afraid that it would not take long to pull up a huge army, so that even if Dong Zhuo finally won the battle, Jizhou's potential will also be squeezed and exhausted by Yuan Shao, but this is not what Dong Zhuo wants to see.
"Okay, so let's fight back and start in two ways." Scratching his head, Dong Zhuo approved Guo Jia's proposal, and then continued to speak: "Feng Xiao, at the same time, I also sent an order to the shadow guard, I have prepared this busy time, and it is time for them to dispatch, as well as the merchants of the Zhen family, when is the best time to make a fortune, war, leak some news to the Zhen family, and let them organize all the businessmen under my rule who are willing to cooperate to carry out economic sniping on Jizhou, and it is time for them to show their skills." ”
"Don't worry, Jia, remember." At the mention of the shadow guard, Guo Jia couldn't help but show a meaningful smile on his face, and when Dong Zhuo continued to talk about the Zhen family, Rao is Guo Jia couldn't help but complain in his heart, but there is no way, who makes the Zhen family have more women, if it weren't for Zhen Mi's young age, I am afraid that the five golden flowers of the Zhen family will be arched by Dong Zhuo, but Guo Jia really doesn't have much hope for the economic war that Dong Zhuo mentioned earlier.
"I want to personally lead troops from Huguan to attack Guangping County, Jizhou." After a moment of silence, Dong Zhuo suddenly said loudly: "As the so-called 'reality is false, Compared with the south, the defense in the north of Jizhou may be more lax, but we can think of it, Yuan Shao can also think of it, once the war starts, there will be no room for things to turn around, the north will definitely become the first place to be looked at by Yuan Shao, I need people to create chaos in the north, the bigger the scene, the better, as much as possible to attract all the attention of Yuan Shao's main force there, to buy me time, as long as you can capture Yecheng, Yuan Shao's strength can be removed in an instant. ”
"If the lord is at ease, he will make a wish." Standing up and bowing, Jia Xu suddenly said out loud.
On Dong Zhuo's side, there are people who can be used now, but there are very few people who can be extremely trusted and can be used by Dong Zhuo, and among the people who can lead troops, only Guo Jia and him can be responsible in the whole house, compared to Guo Jia's laziness, only Jia Xu is the only one who can go to the north to attack.
"I am naturally very relieved to have Wenhe come forward, but this trip is going to be hard for Wenhe." Dong Zhuo's thinking also has an answer, although Jia Xu's invitation looks a little abrupt, Dong Zhuo didn't even hesitate and directly agreed, the two use soldiers, Guo Jia likes to use risks, likes to surprise soldiers and make dangerous moves, if he leads the team alone, this uncertainty often has many unpredictable results.
"Since it is just an existence to attract Yuan Shao's attention, there are more people and no mobility, it is easy to be surrounded by the army under his command, and the number of people is small, there is no way to have a strong enough attack power, in this way, no matter how much I toss, it will be difficult to attract Yuan Shao's army, in my estimation, there are at least 60,000 soldiers, so I dare to do this well." Jia Xu didn't say anything about Dong Zhuo's words, and lowered his head and calculated carefully before he spoke.
"Okay, that's right." Dong Zhuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, you must know that the number of troops he can send troops in his hands now is limited, even if he has mobilized the mobile forces of several states during this period of time and integrated them, now he only has four or five hundred thousand in his hands, except for the 100,000 soldiers directly under Chang'an, the rest is only 400,000, and he also has to send reinforcements to various passes, so that the number of soldiers who can really be used by him is only about 300,000.
is different from Guo Jia, in terms of saving his life, Jia Xu is definitely a top existence, while preserving himself, he must make as much noise as possible, this is not so simple, and although Dong Zhuo said that the troops are divided into two ways, if you want to ensure that the army has enough attack power, the required troops will definitely not be a decimal, so it is impossible to say that each way can ensure sufficient soldiers, in this way, only Jia Xu can meet Dong Zhuo's requirements, and now Jia Xu has opened his mouth, obviously said that Dong Zhuo chose the right one.
Of course, this is not to say that the same 60,000 people can't achieve their goals in the hands of Guo Jia, but the number of soldiers on the Jizhou side is quite a lot, if a mediocre person takes it, 60,000 people are still in the huge Jizhou, and they are afraid that the waves will not be able to turn a few flowers, but characters like Guo Jia and Jia Xu don't know what kind of results they can achieve, but the two of them are relatively speaking, Jia Xu's calm and spicy is more competent.
"Wen You, the army's grain and grass logistics will all be handed over to you." The 300,000 army went to one-fifth of it at once, and Dong Zhuo immediately felt that there were still too few soldiers in his hands, but this time the expansion of the army had been basically completed, and everything had to be done step by step, even if the combat power of the armies in various places had to be discounted, if it was expanded again immediately, there would be some kind of chaos, Dong Zhuo was not willing to take such a big risk, and after coming to his senses, he turned to look at Li Ru and admonished.
"No." has been accustomed to Dong Zhuo as the logistics minister, Li Ru is not a little dissatisfied with this, his ability is to be better in government affairs, after Dong Zhuo increasingly believes in Jia Xu and Guo Jia, Li Ru quietly gathered his scheming edge.
"Hahaha, okay, in this way, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." After looking at the three of them one by one, Dong Zhuo suddenly grinned.
