Cao Cao adopted Guo Jia's backup strategy and gave Zang Ba, Sun Guan and Chang Feng the rank of official.

However, since this hand is a "backup strategy", it is destined to be only triggered for the time being. If you can solve the problem without this trick, then try not to use it.

It's really that in the next month or two, Xiahou Yuan won't be able to open the situation on the frontal battlefield, and all other attempts have failed, so he will come to this point.

What's more, with Xiahou Yuan's unruly temper, he will definitely not admit defeat until he fully tries.

……

Time came to the end of July of the seventh year of Jian'an, that is, more than a month after Xiahou Yuan besieged Juxian, and it was also twenty days after he listened to Guo Jia's strategy and divided his troops to go north to the counties.

Cao Cao's approval of the reserve plan, as well as the will to add officials to Zang Ba and others, finally reached Xiahou Yuan on the front line, which can be regarded as a kind of urging to Xiahou Yuan.

In the past month, Xiahou Yuan's style of play has completely obeyed Guo Jia's plan.

Guo Jia asked him to besiege but not attack, and he besieged but not attacked,

Guo Jia asked him to divide his troops in a roundabout way, and spread false news to scare Gao Shun, trying to make Gao Shun mistakenly think that the counties were in danger, so he was forced to go out of the city to intercept, and Xiahou Yuan also worked hard to spread it.

It's a pity that Guo Jia's two strategies are like mud cows entering the sea, and they didn't stir up any waves.

Gao Shunming of Ju County knew that Xiahou Yuan had divided his troops to the north and surrounded the counties, but he was unmoved and always held back, so that Xiahou Yuan had no way to speak.

Xiahou Yuan set up an ambush two or three times, and every ten days or so, a grain fleet went upriver and slowly passed through the Shushui River in the west of Juxian County, but Gao Shun did not go out of the city to intercept grain, and let Xiahou Yuan transport sufficient military grain to the front line of the siege of Zhuxian to hoard it.

On the other hand, it was precisely because Gao Shun was difficult to be lured out that Xiahou Yuan, who couldn't hold his breath, tentatively organized several strong attacks in the direction of Lusu in Zhuxian County, wanting to open up the situation.

As a result, he was also defeated by Lu Su's orderly dispatch to defend the city, and there was no progress.

And Lu Su's acting skills are better than Gao Shun, Gao Shun will only defend to the end without any waves from beginning to end, and Xiahou Yuan will stop after hitting his head and bleeding for the first time.

However, Lu Su was able to put on a little elastic defense, and in the case of ensuring that the city defense was unimpeded, Xiahou Yuan saw a little hope and induced him to continue to engage in the onslaught, but in the end he always fell short, and lost more troops than in Gao Shun.

The details are not enough for outsiders. All in all, the name of "Fulu Gatekeeper Rao Zijing" is also the first time in this time and space. After all, Lu Su had no experience of leading troops to supervise the battle alone, and this was also the first time to accumulate military experience, and it was normal for the enemy not to understand his ability.

And this state also made Xiahou Yuan more and more anxious, and his trust in Guo Jia gradually decreased with the passage of time.

So all his dissatisfaction, at the moment when he got Cao Cao's will, a small wave broke out:

"Mr. Fengxiao, is your plan good? It's been a month since the troops were divided, and Gao Shun is like being deaf and blind, and he only knows how to defend it! Didn't you say that he would worry about Zhuge Jun's life and death, and go out of the city to rob grain?

Sikong's will to add an official to Zang Ba Sun Guan has arrived, if there is no progress for another month, then it is really necessary to attack Donghai County under the banner of Zang Ba to seek war! Time waits for no one!

The 40,000-strong army went deep into the enemy's territory, or fought in the mountains, and people couldn't afford to eat horses and chew them! It is difficult to transport grain in this Mengshan mountainous area, and how many river sections are turbulent, and you have to pull the fiber to let the boat pass! ”

Guo Jia was accused by Xiahou Yuan, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering, so he could only laugh at himself:

"I foolishly thought that this strategy must be no problem, maybe it was because Lu Su was holding the city seriously, and he repeatedly took care of Gao Shun before the war not to act rashly.

It may also be that Gao Shun is too confident in Lu Su to defend the city, and knows that we can't break it - our army has not fought with this Lu Su before, and I have not heard of his record in commanding the army, this kind of thing, who would have thought of it? ”

Xiahou Yuan was already a little anxious, and he didn't have time to listen to Guo Jia's detailed explanation, so he just raised his hand, interrupted the other party's words, and asked:

"It's useless to talk about it now, just what to do next? In the next month, we will continue to besiege the city and transport grain to lure the enemy in this way? Or do you want to think about it another way? Gao Shun won't be tricked, right? ”

Guo Jiayi gritted his teeth: "General, those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and they have all reached this point, so let's hold on." Moreover, the art of war is the way of truth and truth, and I am most afraid of a truth in the nine falsehoods.

As we continue to besiege the city, we must have to transport food every once in a while. If we relax our vigilance and do not supplement the ambush when transporting grain, if Gao Shun dares to go out of the city one day, and we really cut off the military rations while we are paralyzed, will we miss a major event? ”

Xiahou Yuan had no choice but to continue to do it according to the old policy, waiting for the change.

War, sometimes it's just so boring, there is a long patience competition to see who can't hold their breath first.

However, Xiahou Yuan finally suppressed his anger and was willing to hold on patiently and look for flaws, but the enemy suddenly became not quiet, and changed his methods to provoke him.

After Guo Jia persuaded him to be patient, only two days later, there were no problems with the main battlefield and grain road along the Shushui River.

On the other hand, the partial divisions sent to the coastal battlefield to occupy and destroy various seaports in Langya County, that is, the troops of Li Dian and Sun Guan, were suddenly attacked by Liu Beijun's surprise attack in Rizhao Port, which had been stable for a month.

Fortunately, Li Dian and Sun Guan's troops were relatively scattered, and the garrison of a large newly built port like Rizhao Port was only two or three thousand people, and the rest of the coastal seaports were guarded by troops, each of which was like sprinkling pepper noodles, and the troops were relatively scattered.

So one of the points was broken by Liu Beijun, and the number of people lost was not very large, but an army of more than 2,000 people was surrounded and annihilated.

Sun Guan was stationed in Rizhao Harbor at the time, and after being defeated by a surprise attack, he took his personal guards and ran away wildly, and rushed back a day later to report the news.

When Xiahou Yuan received the report of defeat, he was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked:

"Who attacked Rizhao Town? Where are the enemy forces coming from? Aren't all the ports along the entire Langya coast occupied by our army? Within a hundred miles of the north and south sides of Rizhao Town, they are all strongholds of our army, how can they still be attacked by the enemy? ”

Sun Guan was wounded on his face and complained miserably: "The enemy army came directly from the sea, sailed in the middle of the night, and suddenly landed in the early morning.

None of the coastal garrisons and beacon posts of our army within a hundred miles north and south of Rizhao Town found the enemy fleet! The enemy ship was supposed to come around from the far sea, which was impossible to see from the shore, and when it sailed near Rizhao, it suddenly turned to the offshore sea and sailed to the shore in the dark. ”

Xiahou Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and the anger in his heart became more and more nowhere to vent.

For the northerners of the Han Dynasty, they could understand that ships could also sail on the sea, and the ship technology of the Han Dynasty was not so backward that it could not be navigated.

However, the northerners' understanding of navigation is limited to "sailing cautiously at a distance where the coastline can be seen", and those who venture directly to the open sea cannot be said to be completely absent, but they will definitely get lost.

That is, when the fleet turns around and returns to the coast again, they can't figure out where they will dock or how far they have sailed.

This time, the commander of Liu Bei's naval army not only could not see the coastline for at least more than 100 miles, but also ensure that when he turned back to the shore in the dark, he happened to go ashore near Rizhao Town, and did not alarm the beacons of the Cao army along the coast in other places, which was no longer something Xiahou Yuan could imagine.

Who let the northern generals encounter this situation for the first time, they were beaten with poor information and beaten up, which can be regarded as paying tuition.

Xiahou Yuan's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and asked another question: "Who is the commander of the enemy army, this must be inquired, right?" It's not going to be a fiasco, and I don't even know who is defeated! The loss Sikong has just promoted you to a partial general! ”

Sun Guan hurriedly replied: "It's the navy led by Zhou Yu, that is, the son who surrendered to Liu Bei from Sun Ce's command!" ”

Xiahou Yuan gritted his teeth: "Sun Ce's subordinates are also capable people, but it's a pity that they belong to Liu Bei." Should Sikong be asked to send his newly recruited son-in-law Sun Quan to disintegrate the hearts of these old Jiangdong generals. ”

Guo Jia on the side hurriedly persuaded when he heard this: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, I heard a while ago that the Zhuge family has married Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu lost his wife and separated in the Battle of Jiangdong, and remarried Zhuge Jin's second sister."

Now Zhou Yu was sent by Liu Bei to Langya to help Lu Su and Zhuge Jun, according to my speculation, Zhou Yu will definitely not be able to take his new wife to drift at sea, so his wife should live in Zhuxian with his younger brother Zhuge Jun. Zhou Yu's wife is in the hands of the enemy army in Langya, how can he be co-opted by us? It's useless to find Sun Quan. ”

When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he thought about it again and again, and had to temporarily give up the idea of relying on Sun Quan to shake the Jiangdong generals, and just turned to Guo Jia and asked Guo Jia to come up with some countermeasures:

"Since Sun Quan can't count on it, then you should tell me, how to deal with it now?"

Guo Jia touched his goatee and thought for a while, and first comforted: "The defeat of the sunshine, you don't have to worry too much, maybe Zhou Yu can't endure the dark night and the vast open sea, even if the direction is accurate and accurate."

Perhaps he was lucky this time, he should have found a random harbor to land nearby, and then quickly extinguished our defenders with superior forces, but he just happened to hit Rizhao Town. If it doesn't hit it accurately and hits somewhere else, at most hundreds or nearly a thousand of our troops will be annihilated.

But Zhou Yu's ability to use troops in this way also reminds us that we can no longer be scattered along the coast of Langya and give the enemy a chance to break through. We must muster our forces to ensure that even if Zhou Yu lands safely at any position, he will not be able to swallow any of our troops and drag them to the aid of friendly forces.

In this way, we can capture Zhou Yu's troops on the coast and fight a land and field battle, and strive to weaken Zhou Yu. However, if he wants to annihilate Zhou Yu, it is still impossible, once he finds that he is defeated, he will still take advantage of the sea ship and board the ship to avoid it.

We pursued at most, and when all the troops behind him were not on board, we attacked halfway and routed his broken troops. But as long as there are one or two such victories, it will be enough to deter Zhou Yu from doing these tricks again. ”

Xiahou Yuan suffered three small defeats in a row, and although each loss was between one or two thousand to two or three thousand, the blow to morale was still very heavy. Xiahou Yuan was already a little nervous, and his trust in Guo Jia was greatly reduced.

"Is that enough? Can you avoid being attacked by Zhou Yu again? Can you bite the opponent's navy and fight a field battle on the narrow coastal plain? Mr. Bonghyo, your strategy has failed twice. ”

Guo Jiayi gritted his teeth: "The first two times were also unclear about the enemy, and I couldn't know myself and the enemy, so I needed to pay the price and test it slowly, and it wasn't a matter of strategy."

If the general did not believe it, he could only ask General Li Dian to abandon the coastal ports, completely burn down all the port facilities with one fire, and then withdraw without leaving troops to garrison again.

That is the safest, and we will definitely not be attacked by Zhou Yu again, so that we can also focus on besieging Gao Shun and Lu Su and no longer be distracted. ”
