"It is disrespectful to ridicule two names." Chunqiu Gongyang Biography
"What's wrong?" The advancing team suddenly stopped, waking up the young man who was half lying on the wall of the car and dozing off. He was very handsome, thin and pale, but his bright black eyes made him One cannot look directly.
"Guo Jijiu, the vanguard has discovered an enemy scout. I'm worried about an ambush nearby, so I'm temporarily holding back my troops and watching." A young general in armor stood beside the carriage, like a loyal guard, but his rank was not high. He is taller than the person inside.
This general is none other than Tian Chou, one of the six schools of the Northern Army, Lieutenant of the Yue Cavalry School. He received the order last month and took more than 3,000 cavalry from the Yue Cavalry Battalion out of Hangu Pass from Guanzhong to Henan. Also accompanying him were Liu Ai who had been transferred from the post of Hongnong County Governor to Runan County Governor, the new Chen Xiang Zhongshao, a large number of Henan Yin subordinate officers who were parachuted at the request of Henan Yin Luoye, and the emperor's edict to former general Zhu Jun.
The edict affirmed the achievements of former general Zhu Jun in leading troops to the north to quell the rebellion, and he was officially appointed as a general of chariots and cavalry to supervise the Kwantung military affairs. At the same time, the emperor also began to select some people from among his trusted generals to go to Kwantung. , transferred to Zhu Jun's command, known as sharing the pressure with him.
In addition, the emperor directly bypassed Zhu Jun, his immediate superior, and directly promoted Guo Jia, the military adviser who made plans to solve problems, and created a new official position for him as military advisor to offer wine. The word "jiu" refers to opening a banquet for offering wine during a sacrifice. The honorary position was later extended to mean supervisor. Military advisor offering wine means that Guo Jia is the leader of Zhu Jun’s military staff. The emperor’s positioning of Guo Jia is that he can not only make plans for Zhu Jun, but also directly communicate with the ministers under him. Communication with the Ministry of War.
At that time, ordinary people only saw that Zhu Jun was favored and favored, but few people saw the emperor's decentralization and checks and balances on Zhu Jun in this series of personnel appointments. The emperor had no doubts about Zhu Jun's loyalty to the Han Dynasty and the emperor, but As a ruler, he cannot let anyone dominate and lose control. This is not only for Zhu Jun's good, but also for his own good.
After receiving the imperial edict, Guo Jia and Tian Chou went south to Runan with more than 3,000 cavalry to help Zhang Chao, who had been unable to win for a long time, capture Runan.
"Where is Mr. Liu Fu?" Guo Jia asked without thinking.
"Liu Fujun knew about this and said that he was not good at military planning, so he wanted to ask me to make a decision with the sacrificial wine." Tian Chou told the news from the side of Liu Ai's car in the front, and then ran to the side of Guo Jia's car in the back to deliver the news. I feel a little helpless in my heart. After all, I am also a captain with a rank higher than two thousand stones. How come I suddenly become the messenger between the two of them?
"Really? Mr. Liu Fu knows how to hide." Guo Jia squinted and smiled, with a hint of chill in his eyes. He ignored Tian Chou's complicated feelings and turned to seriously discuss the current situation: "Xiaowei Zhang, don't you?" He knows how to fight hard. He has been in the army for so many years, and he has fought against Yellow Turban thieves, mountain bandits and the like. A few days ago, he joined forces with Li Tong, Xu Chu and other powerful forces to defeat the Yellow Turbans in Runan. It was just the right time, the right place and the right people. But once you encounter elite soldiers and generals like Sun Ben and Sun Xiang, you have nothing to do. It has been so many days since the defeat of the Runan Yellow Turbans, but we are still able to defeat the city with a sudden victory."
Zhang Chao, the captain of Diannong School, was Zhu Jun's old subordinate, and Guo Jia was also regarded as a new staff member promoted by Zhu Jun. Now he spared no effort to belittle Zhang Chao in front of Tian Chou. Even Tian Chou, as an outsider, felt that something was wrong.
But when he thought of Guo Jia's willful and forthright temper, he immediately felt relieved, so Tian Chou tried to bring the topic back: "Zhang Xiaowei also forced Sun Ben and two others into Pingyu City. In the past few days, they have not dared to go out of the city to pick them up.
battle, it can be seen that this scout was sent by Pingyu City, and should be their reinforcements."
"Who is leading the troops?" Guo Jia asked curiously.
"We have captured two people alive and have already sent them to trial. Here he is." Tian Chou suddenly looked into the distance.
I saw a middle-aged man in his twenties approaching from a distance. His appearance was ordinary, as if he could not be found in the crowd, but his eyes were profound and could not be ignored. At this time, Guo
Jia had already come out of the car, sitting casually on the shaft of the car, with one leg dangling up and down. He watched with interest as this man respectfully gave a military salute to Tian Chou and himself, and said loudly: "Both of them are the same."
Prince Bo, please pay your respects to Colonel Zhang and offer wine to Guo!"
"Prince uniform?" Guo Jia whispered this rare two-letter name. He somewhat understood why he had such a ruthless and tenacious temperament at such a young age. He had to endure so much cynicism and countless
Only through setbacks and blows can you develop such a temperament.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was affected by Wang Mang's reform, people with single names were always noble and double names were humble. Therefore, based on the identity and name of the prince, Guo Jia dared to preliminarily conclude that the other party was a commoner with a low status in the past. Because he only knew the etiquette.
Only ordinary people would have two-character names. Of course, there are exceptions here, such as Ru Ma Rixi, Su Buwei, Wang Yanshou, etc. However, the naming formats of these people all imitate sages or capable ministers, and cannot be regarded as the mainstream of naming nowadays.
Prince Du Bo raised his head and glanced at Guo Jia, thinking that the other party was asking a question, so he said: "These people are the old troops of Sun Jian, the Polu general."
Seeing Guo Jiahao's unsurprised look, Wang Zifu added: "They are very strict in their words. My subordinates asked for a long time but could not find out what happened. I only know that their current commander is Sun Ce, the eldest son of Sun Jian."
"How can a mere scout be like a dead soldier?" Tian Chou asked curiously.
"Sun Wentai's loyal military strategy is very good at using people. Since these people are his old troops, it is appropriate to be grateful and unwilling to reveal the truth." Guo Jia said lightly: "Such a supporting army is also an elite member of Sun Jian's old troops. It seems that
It’s difficult to come to Zhang Chao.”
Prince Fu felt a little regretful that he had not been able to pry anything out of the mouths of Cheng Dang and others, so he tried his best to express: "If you can give me some time, I will be able to find out the news from their mouths."
Guo Jia raised his eyebrows: "What are you going to do?"
"Tie them to the back of the horse with a rope and drag them away." A stern look flashed in Wang Zifu's eyes.
Guo Jia narrowed his eyes and suddenly said to Tian Chou: "It's getting late, so it's better to set off quickly."
Tian Chou immediately understood, and he frowned slightly, as if he didn't agree with Guo Jia's suggestion, but he never repaid his enemies with kindness, so he said to the prince in a cold voice: "You heard it all
Alright? Anyway, the army is setting off, so just take them with you according to your own way, and you won’t have to take care of them."
Seeing the unattractive prince accept the order and leave, Guo Jiafang smiled and joked: "It seems that not only the armor of the Northern Army is elite, but even any centurion is a hero of the moment, which is admirable."
"Guo Jijiu was joking." Tian Chou's expression was a little unnatural, and he changed the subject: "What Guo Jijiu said just now, does he seem to think that Sun Ce will attack Zhang Chao?"
"Attack the unprepared ones and take them by surprise." Guo Jia casually recited the art of war and said confidently: "When they came, they should be in the southeast of Pingyu City, but now they appear in the northwest of Pingyu. It can be seen that they
We are not in a hurry to enter the city to join Sun Ben and others, but we want to take advantage of others' unpreparedness and launch a sneak attack to relieve the siege."
Tian Chou is also a man who knows soldiers. After a moment's thought, he confirmed Guo Jia's guess and immediately proposed a response: "In this case, we can be the oriole and take advantage of the melee between the parties to lead the cavalry to rush in.
Fight and conquer with complete success."
This is completely a scene of a mantis stalking a cicada, followed by an oriole, and they are the oriole. However, Guo Jia was not as excited as Tian Chou. Instead, he said regretfully: "It's too late. It wouldn't have happened even half an hour earlier."
There is such a result.”
Tian Chou was stunned for a moment, then said immediately: "It's not that it's too late, it's that they chose the right time to attack."
Hearing this, Guo Jia immediately stopped smiling, looked at Tian Chou seriously, and said seriously: "I finally understand why everyone in the Sixth School of the Northern Army is a general, but the imperial court sent Zitai here instead."
Tian Chou is right. The opponent chose a very suitable time to attack, which is during the hour when the sun sets. In this time period, it can ensure that the opponent has enough time to attack with the suddenness of the magic weapon descending from the sky.
Zhang Chao was caught off guard, and he cooperated with Sun Bi and Sun Xiang in the city. Not to mention total annihilation, Zhang Chao could at least be defeated and escape. Although it would be dark in an hour, giving Zhang Chao a chance to escape, but
It gives the opponent a good cover at night to prevent another army from suddenly joining the battlefield to make the final profit.
At the current speed, even if Tian Chou leads the cavalry at full gallop, not only will the winner be determined by the time they reach the battlefield, but it will also be dark, and it will be detrimental to both sides to engage in night battles at that time. 11
