Take the initiative to take control of the battle situation.

Although Cao Jun suffered a major defeat in Hanzhong, his strength was damaged.

But if the two sides really compare their logistical capabilities, then our side is still at a disadvantage.

It spans several states in the north, among which the Central Plains region has always been the most prosperous and fertile. On the other hand, this side is just Caijing and Yi.

What's more, due to geographical differences, the two states are unable to transport logistical materials to each other.

He only used the land of Bashu to fight against Cao's army.

Competing in a war of attrition is definitely not the best strategy.

The best strategy is to take the initiative, harass the border, disrupt the enemy's development rhythm and deployment, and fish in troubled waters!

It is better to take the initiative to search for opportunities than to passively defend and remain in a stalemate.

As a good general, Huo Jun is able to think through these principles very clearly in his mind.

This was one of the main reasons why he strongly supported Zhao Tong after knowing his own strategy.

And right between the borders.

The two armies had frequent exchanges with each other.

Following Zhang Ji, the governor of Liangzhou, Huo Jun's troops were garrisoned and wanted to go north to Sanguan in order to attack Chencang Road and threaten the important town of Chencang. After that, he sent envoys to Guanzhong to explain the situation.

Regarding this matter.

Du Ji, the newly appointed Sili captain, also quickly came up with a countermeasure.

only.

Because he had lived in Hedong for a long time, he was responsible for all military and political affairs in the county.

When he first arrived, he took charge of the military and political power in Guanyou.

Also in charge are the elite soldiers and generals under Xia Houyuan.

After thinking for a moment, he did not directly issue the order, but instead ordered the generals to come to the military mansion to discuss the military affairs.

This is also the essence of Du Ji's character.

He knew that military force has been the most respected force in the military since ancient times.

Either focus on subduing the masses with force, or use military merit and prestige to overwhelm the generals.

Now that he has arrived, although he does have the authority to issue direct orders, this will inevitably make the generals feel grudges.

When the absolute right to speak has not been established.

Du Ji would never make a big statement.

The guard accepted the order and left quickly.

Soon.

All the generals in the army, headed by Zhang He, gathered together one after another.

Du Ji serves as the military and political leader in the Guanyou area.

Well-deservedly, he stood in the chief position with his chest held high, arrogantly looking down on the generals standing on both sides.

With Zhang He and Guo Huai as the leaders, the elite generals in the army lined up in sequence.

On the right side are mostly local officials from the counties in Guanzhong.

Seeing that we are full of talents.

Even though he was facing a formidable enemy, Du Ji still showed a strong look of joy at all times, as if there was no trace of fear on his face.

Instead, he looked calm and calm.

It seems to give people a sense of heroism that everything is under control.

"Everyone, the military report of the enemy's invasion is roughly like this. How do you think Chencang should defend it?"

As soon as these words fell.

Initially, all the generals had extremely relaxed expressions on their faces. After hearing these words, they gradually became slightly condensed for a moment. After a while, they became silent and thought.

Exactly half an hour passed.

Zhang He, who was on one side, thought for a while and couldn't help but solemnly suggested: "General Du, in my humble opinion, Chencang is an important town of Sanfu, and this place is related to the safety of the counties in Guanzhong."

"If there is a mistake, it will be like being pinched by the throat, and the situation will be passive and detrimental to our army!"

"Even though it was mentioned in Governor Zhang's letter that the enemy's attack on Chencang was a feint to attract attention, it was actually to cover the Qiang Dao garrison going north to harass Longxi County."

"But our army still cannot take it lightly!"

Having said this, he paused for a moment, and then seemed to increase his tone a bit, and continued: "The defense of Chencang needs to be strengthened, and we cannot relax!"

In one word.

Seeing Zhang He's expression gradually becoming more generous as his tone became more passionate, the generals on both sides seemed to be inspired for a moment.

"What General Zhang said is true!"

"Chen Cang is the lifeblood of Sanfu, and there must be no room for error."

"Even if the enemy is feigning an attack, they should strengthen their defense with heavy defenses."

A series of words.

All the generals led by Guo Huai responded in agreement.

I saw such intense reactions among the generals.

Du Ji stretched out his eyes and looked around. After quietly snooping around, he gradually felt confident.

After thinking for a while, he asked with a calm face: "If you say so, it seems that Chen Cang's defense cannot be underestimated!"

"General Zhang also followed General Xiahou to conquer Guanyou and was a hero in clearing up the rebellion. I guess he knows the local situation better than I, Yan!"

"But I don't know who Jun Yi thinks can take on the big responsibility?"

The words fell.

He didn't mince words at all, but asked straight to the point.

Hearing his generous response.

Zhang He also seemed to have already thought of a suitable candidate. After hearing this, without thinking too much, he handed over his hand and suggested without hesitation: "We think that we can order Guo Boji to lead his troops to station in Chencang and set up defenses based on the dangerous terrain to prevent the enemy's attack." Raid.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

He thought about it for a moment, and then continued: "In the previous period, Bo Ji led his troops to guard Wudu County and Tianshui County alone, and also garrisoned the three auxiliary areas."

“It can be said that he is very familiar with the local geography.”

"And his temperament has always been relatively calm, and he is good at thinking before acting when encountering problems. He is worthy of a big job!"

I heard that the leading generals in the army recommended that Guo Huai should be given the most important post.

After Du Ji heard this, his heart blossomed with joy.

I even wanted to reach out and give him a thumbs up.

How could Du Ji not know about Guo Huai's military experience?

As early as when he received the transfer order, he had already begun to investigate and understand the various abilities of the generals.

After a comprehensive evaluation in his mind, he actually hoped to send him to Chencang to take charge.

But...

Zhang He's military power among the Guanyou Army was strong, and he was trusted by all the generals and soldiers under his command.

This is also the reason why he wants to recommend Guo Huai through his mouth.

Only in this way will the generals be convinced.

Sometimes, the same words spoken by different people will have different effects.

"good!"

"Jun Yi has been in Guanyou for a long time. Since you recommended him, it seems that Bo Ji is indeed capable of defending the territory."

After saying that, after a short pause, Du Ji faced the generals and said loudly.

"Bo Ji, if you are the general stationed in Chencang and the enemy invades, how will you respond?"

I heard the test from the general.

Guo Huai, who was standing behind Zhang He, first raised his head to face him, smiled back at him with a look of gratitude, and then his face suddenly returned to a serious look, and he directly raised his hand and said:

"General, if you are the last general to guard Chencang."

"Send more soldiers along the way to explore the local terrain."

"Then call on the troops to deploy sergeants at strategic points to build a line of defense."

"There are also many bows and crossbows, and storage of rolling logs, rocks and other items."
