Chapter 448: Life of Labor

Guo Jia's words immediately hooked Dong Zhuo's mind, and as soon as his mind turned, Dong Zhuo quickly figured out what Guo Jia was referring to: "Feng Xiao is talking about those soldiers who surrendered."

From the beginning of the war to the present, most of Jizhou has fallen into the hands of Dong Zhuo, and there are naturally many soldiers who surrendered, but Dong Zhuo has always disliked the low combat power of these people, and he didn't take them to heart at all, almost all of them were placed by him in the areas demarcated by various cities.

"Yes, those are the people." Guo Jia smiled, then straightened his back quite lazily, and then suddenly lay there softly, and then continued: "The number of soldiers in the hands of the lord has now exceeded 100,000, and Jia knows that the lord does not look down on their combat power, but the lord can use them in defending the city, so that the elite left by the lord can be liberated, if the lord can not rest assured, he can leave an elite army in several important places, so as to alleviate the problem of weak strength in the hands of the lord." ”

Dong Zhuo lowered his head and was silent for a long time.

In fact, for the surrender of troops, Dong Zhuo is not unwilling to use, more than he dare, just like Guo Jia said, although the combat power of the surrender cannot be compared with the elite soldiers in his hands, it is also a rare combat power, and it is the best choice to use it to garrison various places.

Guo Jia seemed to know Dong Zhuo's concerns, and under Dong Zhuo's silence, he paused for a moment and then laughed lightly: "In fact, the lord doesn't have to worry about the loyalty of these people at all, you must know that they originally belonged to Yuan Shao's subordinates, and now they are already hated by Yuan Shao, and they are also worried about them, after all, if they can no longer be accepted by the lord, then the world is so big, where can they still be their home, in fact, for the current lord to use it, it has made many of them panic." ”

The thought turned, Dong Zhuo thought about it, and it was indeed like this, and he knew in his heart that he might have thought badly before, and his eyes instantly lit up when he looked at Guo Jia.

"The lord may have forgotten that when the county town of Ye was broken, many families in the county town of Ye County had already taken refuge under the lord's command, as long as the lord took the person in charge of their family with him, he could rest assured that he was appointed, you know, the strength of these families is still not small in Jizhou, with them taking the lead, those ordinary soldiers will be more attentive to the lord, and the lord actually doesn't have to worry about it." After getting along for many years, Guo Jia can still grasp a lot of Dong Zhuo's thoughts, looking at Dong Zhuo's eyes, without Dong Zhuo asking, Guo Jia has consciously explained in more detail.

"Okay, this matter will be done according to what Feng Xiao said." Guo Jia's words immediately eliminated the last trace of doubt in Dong Zhuo's heart.

"The current war is almost always in the direction of the lord's favor, but the only thing that worries Jia is Natian Feng." After the two carefully finalized some details, Guo Jia suddenly mentioned something else.

"Feng Xiao is saying that there will be unexpected changes on Yuan Shao's side." Dong Zhuo actually thought about it when he knew that Lu Bu and Tian Feng were among the people they captured, but he didn't want to think about things in a bad way, but now that he heard Guo Jia mention it, the bad feeling in his heart was even stronger.

"Hmm." Guo Jia nodded and responded directly, this matter has been pressed in his heart for a while, and after he got the news from the confident capital, he sent a lot of people to the north, but until now he has not been able to get any useful news, and the more this is the case, the more uneasy his heart becomes.

It's just that it stands to reason that if Yuan Shao's side is a secret strategy, he shouldn't have sent Tian Feng to Xindu, after all, as an important strategist under Yuan Shao, Tian Feng can be said to have a pivotal position, but if it weren't for that, even Guo Jia couldn't understand why Tian Feng appeared in Xindu.

Obviously, what Guo Jia can think of, Dong Zhuo can also think of, but like Guo Jia, Dong Zhuo's heart is also full of doubts.

"In this way, only I personally went to Xindu to see this Tian Feng, and I can also bring some of the guards in Handan now, the offensive in front cannot stop here, although Xindu has been captured, according to the damage of the previous soldiers, the current Xindu does not have much defensive strength at all, and I don't know how Lu Bu dares to be so bold, but I heard that he has captured Wuyi." After a moment of silence, Dong Zhuo suddenly spoke.

"Tian Feng must know a lot of things, it's just that a character like him, it's difficult to get him to speak, Feng Xian has interrogated him after he was captured, but he was directly ignored by him, but his identity is too special, Feng Xian is not good to use it, for this reason, Feng Xian has specially sent someone to ask, and I don't have a good choice, so I temporarily ordered him to be imprisoned." Shaking his head, Guo Jia didn't have much hope for this.

"Anyway, it's good to give it a try, but at the moment Yuan Shao's movements are unknown, the defenses in various places must be vigilant, in my opinion, the northward offensive can be postponed, and it can be temporarily attacked to Wuyi, if you turn to the east and south, no matter what Zhang Liao's plans are, it is better to take his side." The corners of his mouth were involved, and Dong Zhuo's face couldn't help showing a touch of bitterness, for Tian Feng, if you want to describe it in one word, the best thing is the stinky stone in the pit, which is stinky and hard.

Guo Jia didn't say anything more, but Dong Zhuo paused for a moment and then spoke again: "Zhang Yan can't control the overall situation in Taihang Mountain, and there is still a steady and wise person left on the defense line in the west, and Feng Xiao has someone in his heart." ”

"What does the lord think of Guo Yi, doesn't the lord want to transfer the soldiers of the state into the mountain, just let Guo Yi accompany the army, and then let Zhang Yan send someone to escort him out of the mountain." At the moment, the people in Dong Zhuo's hands were obviously not able to meet the conditions, and after pondering for a long time, Guo Jia spoke slowly.

"Well, isn't it a bit risky?" This time, Dong Zhuo didn't immediately agree, but showed a hint of hesitation on his face: "Those people in the mountains are not small, if there is really any change, with Guo Yi, a dignified scribe, is it too dangerous to be in a dangerous place, and there are few brave people in the battle with the enemy, this is ......"

Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo's voice stopped abruptly and did not continue, but Guo Jia understood what Dong Zhuo meant, thought about it and retorted: "Actually, otherwise, martial artists are fierce, and they can't be stimulated the most, and what kind of people are those people in the mountains, inferior and despicable are commonplace for them, if the lord appoints martial artists to stay behind, if these people make any tricks, I am afraid that it is really dangerous, and if the guard is Guo Yi, the lord only needs to leave a general to assist." ”

Opinions are different, Dong Zhuo did not stubbornly insist on his own opinions, and what Guo Jia said is indeed reasonable, Dong Zhuo thought about it and agreed, and then threw out another question: "Handan is located in an important place, and it is a good hub for our army to connect with Bingzhou now, but this place is a little too southern, and it is not obvious at the moment, and when our army and Yuan Shaojun confront each other, it will be a drag, how about I move the administrative office to Xindu." ”

"The lord's words are in line with Jiayi, compared with Xindu, the limitations of Handan are too great, since the lord mentioned it, Jiadu began to prepare, and when everything is almost the same, he will move the governance office to Xindu." Dong Zhuo's words suddenly made Guo Jia's face smile, Handan's position determined that the distance between him and the war was too far, and this was not what he wanted, if possible, he even wanted to stay on the battlefield all the time, of course, this is not to say that he likes war, but to stay in the rear and always take care of those trivial chores, Guo Jia felt that he was already a little crazy.

Seeing that the matter was almost decided, Guo Jia didn't stay any longer, got up and said goodbye to Dong Zhuo and left, after all, Dong Zhuo had just rushed back to the city not long ago, if it weren't for the fact that things were a little urgent and Dong Zhuo had to come to make decisions in person, Guo Jia wouldn't even appear at this time.

A day later, after a short rest and exhaustion, Dong Zhuo took Guo Jia's prepared army and hurriedly set off to Xindu, while Guo Jia was busy dealing with the follow-up matters and making final preparations for the migration of Xindu.

As Guo Jia said, the weather is getting colder and colder, the army is galloping on the official road, the cold wind by the ears is whistling, cold like a sharp knife, constantly cutting his face, between the breath in his mouth, the white vapor visible to the naked eye can't help but float out.

During the run, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but sigh a little, he seemed to be born with hard work: I think when he first came to the end of the Han Dynasty, in order not to follow Dong Zhuo's old path, in order to survive, he was first whipped and did not say anything, and he almost never stopped to rest; Later, after retreating into Guanzhong, in order not to be left behind by the princes of the world, first Liangzhou, then Yizhou, and then successively fought with Xianbei and Xiongnu, and there were only a handful of times when they could really stop and rest in a few years; And now, Yuan Shao is obviously not a bone to gnaw, and he has been working hard since the start of the war......

The head was distracted, but it could not delay the journey of the army, all the way under the official road, the army marched unimpeded, five days later, when the sun seemed to fall in the distance of the sky, the tall walls of Xindu finally became bigger and bigger in the eyes of everyone.

"The city is in sight, give orders, hasten the march, and strive to enter the city before sunset." In the shouting, the speed of the group suddenly became faster, the horses' hooves flew over, and the tapping seemed to become more and more brisk.
