"In the past, I called you Yingduo Qishi, so it is not wrong." [Old Book of Tang·Volume 87]
Guo Jia spoke in an understated tone, as if he was talking about how to move the next piece on the chessboard, and he completely ignored the presence of others. Zhang Chao, Du Xi and others were listening in great surprise, looking at each other in shock. It turned out that Yang Chou had secretly defected to the court. If Sui Gu, who was placed by Yuan Shao next to Zhang Yang, had not launched the mutiny this time, then next time, when Zhang Yang might pose a threat to the court, it would be Yang Chou who launched the mutiny. .
In short, no matter what, Zhang Yang will end up being killed by his subordinates. It is really sad to be the protagonist and betray everyone.
"Hanoi is the primary place to use troops at the moment. Even if Yingchuan is about to start a war, it must be put on hold for the time being." Zhu Jun no longer asked Guo Jia about which one came first between Hanoi and Yingchuan, and spoke on his own: " But if I lead troops to Hanoi, how can the Runan Yellow Turbans retreat?"
"Mr. Xu Fu had conquered the Yellow Turbans at the beginning, and he was considered a man who knew the military. You can choose two thousand elite soldiers and go to Yingchuan with Liu Zixiang. Tell the powerful families and gather the soldiers from all the counties to know the number of soldiers and horses. Thousands are enough to fend off the enemy." Guo Jia said confidently: "As for the strategy to retreat from the enemy, it is simple. Not only can it wipe out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, but it can also capture the entire Runan County for the king."
"Oh?" Zhu Jun asked with great interest: "The Yellow Turbans have tens of thousands of people and are rampant and rebellious, but how can they defeat the enemy with thousands of soldiers?"
Guo Jia stretched out his right hand, tapped the fingers of his left hand gently, and said: "The Yellow Turban Moth Thief likes to prey on the old and the weak. In a brigade, the old and the weak make up the majority. These tens of thousands of people may seem like a lot, but in fact there are very few young people. , this is one of them. Among the young and strong moth thieves, they are considered to be elites, and even fewer are equipped with armor and swords. Even if Yuan Shu secretly supports him, he doesn't even trust his own generals, so how can he rest assured about the Yellow Turban? For It’s easy to clamp down and it won’t provide too many ordnance, that’s the second reason.”
Du Xi looked at Guo Jia's confident expression from the side, exuding the charm of having everything in hand in a field that he was very familiar with and good at. He couldn't help but nodded, and accidentally caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye. Liu Yi, the two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, and both thought in their hearts: Guo Jia has such a talent for strategizing, why is it so strange even if he does not follow the details? It is no wonder that Zhu Jun, who has a violent temper, is in Guo Jia. He lowered his attitude in front of the young man.
"Besides, please don't you only know that there are bandits in Runan, but you don't know that there are righteous people in Runan." After Guo Jia finished speaking, he lightly held his right hand and put the fingers of his left hand in his palm, with a smile on his face.
"Oh, oh." Zhu Jun nodded and responded, pinching his beard and said: "I remember, when our army arrived in Yingchuan a few months ago, there were two rangers named Li Tong and Chen Gong in Runan County. Thousands of people were gathered together, and they were quite powerful. They once sent people to write to me, hoping to lead the people to join me. But later it was said that Chen Gong was killed by his brother-in-law, Chen He, and they were in chaos, so this Things have been delayed."
He stared at Guo Jia with bright eyes, wondering what the thin young man had in mind: "As for Li Tong, a ranger who can gather people in Runan where bandits are in power and stay quiet, he has some tricks. He is a man who understands current affairs and is loyal to the court. At this time, with his ability, the rebellion caused by Chen Gong must have been put down, right? Fengxiao, do you want Li Tong to harass the Yellow Turbans from behind when they invade Yingchuan?"
"It's not just him." Guo Jia has lived in Yingchuan for many years and knows all the famous local figures in Yuzhou: "He Yi, Liu Pi and other thieves gathered in Xiping and Zhaoling, while Li Tong gathered in Langling, which happened to be To its southwest, if only Li Tong's army could defeat the Moth Thieves, it would be difficult to defeat them completely. If an army could attack from the northeast of the Moth Thieves and advance alongside Li Tong, they would be able to take advantage of this and defeat them in one fell swoop. The Yellow Turban of Runan cut off Yuan Shu's arm. Once the Yellow Turban of Runan is destroyed, Sun Xiang and Sun Ben will be transferred to the south by Yuan Shu, and then all of Runan will be owned by the king."
"It's not for me, it's for returning to the rule of the imperial court." Zhu Jun corrected with a serious expression. Mobile version::
"Jinnuo." A strange look flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, and he glanced at Zhu Jun seriously. This look was fleeting, and the solemn look he had deliberately maintained with his face and breath held disappeared with it. Soon, he changed again. Guo Jia became the playful and laughing Guo Jia: "What I mean is that Runan originally belongs to Yuzhou, and the prince is the governor of Yuzhou. It is not wrong for him to return to the rule of the prince." Computer terminal::/
"Well..." Zhu Jun's expression relaxed a little. Although he felt that he was worthy of the imperial court, as an important minister who was leading troops and guarding one side, it would be better for him to say fewer taboo words. Not only did he have to be cautious in his words and deeds, , people around him should do the same. Although Guo Fengxiao is informal, he should also know how to speak appropriately.
Du Xi silently remembered the expressions of the two men and asked calmly: "Aside from Langling Li Tong, who else in Runan can be called a righteous man and help others with his troops?"
Guo Jia looked at Du Xi, with a frivolous smile on his face, but there was no smile at all deep in his eyes, as if he had seen through Du Xi's thoughts: "Isn't there a place in Peiguo Qiao County, which is close to Runan? Are there any heroes from Huai, Ru, Chen, and Liang who will be afraid of dragging the tail of an ox backward?"
"Xu Chu?" Zhu Jun thought of this warrior who pulled the tail of an ox, dragged the ox backwards for hundreds of steps, and scared off tens of thousands of Runan Gepi thieves. He nodded with half emotion: "This man is no better than Li Tong. He has never been right. The imperial court has given hints, but it is unlikely that they will help."
"When the world is in turmoil, it is the time for heroes to fight. Looking across the plains, only the kings and princes have their backs to the imperial court and hold great righteousness in their hands. The kings and princes have already had a great reputation. How can there be any reason for the righteous men from all sides to sit on the wall and not cooperate with each other? "Guo Jia said: "As long as the prince is willing to seal the ribbon and send an envoy with a document to inform him, Li Tong, Xu Chu and other heroes will be happy to set off."
Guo Jia's analysis was correct. Behind Zhu Jun stood the entire Guanzhong court. He was the emperor's hand extending from Hangu Pass to stir up the current situation. Although there were only two counties of Henan and Yingchuan, no one dared to underestimate his true strength. What's more, Zhu Jun has a reputation of righteousness, and taking refuge with him means taking refuge with the imperial court. For heroes like Li Tong and Xu Chu, if they want to complete the transformation from heroic heroes to military nobles, there is no better way out than to join the imperial court.
"If they come to join the Han Dynasty with me, why should I begrudge the position of a mere general or a school?" Zhu Jun knew his advantage and said generously.
"Although Xu Fujun knows military strategies, he is not good at fighting." Zhang Chao suddenly interjected. As a captain of the Diannong School in Henan Province, he originally thought that this was a promotion, but after getting familiar with it, he discovered that the Diannong of the imperial court was Military positions such as captain, captain, and Sima are all assigned to veteran generals, mediocre generals, wounded soldiers, and even bandit leaders who have surrendered. Although I am an officer, I already belong to the second-line army of the imperial court. Under normal circumstances, there is no such position. He had always regretted the possibility of going to war. Now that he had the opportunity, he hurriedly asked for help: "If you don't mind, why don't you let me lead the army?"
"If you lead troops south, what will happen to Zhongmou?" Zhu Jun was worried that after the troops were divided, Zhu Ling from Chen Liu would take the opportunity to go west to Henan.
Du Xi suddenly said: "I would like to serve you."
"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. After dividing the troops, there are still eight thousand troops and horses in Henan. Counting the troops stationed in the field, we can make up for the number of more than ten thousand." Guo Jia narrowed his eyes and said: "Your Majesty has been operating in Zhongmu for a long time. As long as he sticks to the city, he will not be able to make up for it. It is easy to send troops, no matter how resourceful Zhu Ling is, it will be difficult for him to advance."
Du Xi is good at dispatching and Guo Jia is good at strategy. With the two of them in Henan, he can fight for Hanoi with peace of mind. Thinking of this, Zhu Jun just nodded.
"Zixiang, after I return to my hometown, I will write the documents for the conquest of Li Tong and others, and then entrust them to you together with the seals and ribbons and other things. Xu Mengyu, I would like you to announce today's military meeting on your behalf. Yingchuan will also rely on it. Everyone." Zhu Jun ordered Liu Yi.
Liu Yi was about to respond when he heard a voice coming from outside the door: "Why does it all depend on you?"
