Unexpectedly, Luo Yang's first words when they met were like this. Huang Zhong couldn't help but be startled, and then his face was full of excitement. He knelt down, cupped his fists and shouted: "Lord! The last general has neglected his duty and caused heavy losses to the vanguard army! I beg you.
Lord, punish me!"
"Uh!" He didn't expect that Huang Zhong would come suddenly like this. Luo Yang didn't hold him up, but let Huang Zhong kneel on the ground. He quickly tried to help him with both hands, but Huang Zhong refused to get up! Luo Yang was worried about bumping into Huang again.
I didn't dare to use too much force on Zhong's wound. I really didn't know what to do now. I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely and said: "Oh! Brother Han Sheng! You get up first! Get up first and then talk! Hurry up.
! Get up quickly! Brother Han Sheng, victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs. This time I can’t say it’s your fault! Why are you doing this? Come on! Get up quickly!”
But no matter Luo Yang said all the good things, Huang Zhong refused to get up and shouted to Luo Yang: "My lord! The general is guilty of a serious crime this time! If the lord refuses to punish me, the general is willing to die to apologize!"
Then, he reached out to touch the sword at his waist!
"Oops!" Luo Yang was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly took Huang Zhong's hand. Zhao Yun and others on the side did not dare to neglect, and stepped forward to help, finally holding Huang Zhong down temporarily.
Luo Yang saw that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he looked around and happened to see Guo Jia laughing at the side. Luo Yang immediately shouted with a sullen face: "Why are you standing there stupidly? Why don't you come over and help quickly?"
?”
After hearing Luo Yang's words, Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Master! I'm a powerless scholar, how can I help! Oh! Oh, okay! Lord, don't do that kind of thing.
Look at me! Let me help! Why don’t I help!" As he said that, Guo Jia shook his head and walked forward. In fact, it was not that Guo Jia was really heartless. He saw Huang Zhong wanting to commit suicide before.
, Guo Jia was really shocked. But later when he saw Huang Zhong being restrained by Luo Yang and others, he returned to his usual appearance.
Immediately, Guo Jia slowly walked to Huang Zhong and said to Huang Zhong with a smile: "General Huang! You want the lord to punish you because you want to atone for your sins! But if the general dies, how can he really be punished?
Atonement? If I were you as a general, I would definitely keep myself useful. I will perform meritorious deeds for the lord in the future, which can be regarded as atonement for my sins!"
Hearing Guo Jia's words, Huang Zhong trembled, and then slowly stopped and drooped his head. In fact, how could Huang Zhong not know what Guo Jia said, he just saw Luo Yang being so kind to him, and
He also refused to punish himself, which made Huang Zhong feel more and more guilty for doing such a thing. Now that Guo Jia had done this, Huang Zhong calmed down again and knelt down in front of Luo Yang again, silently.
Seeing that Huang Zhong finally stopped making trouble, Luo Yang and others slowly let go of Huang Zhong. However, Zhao Yun still looked at Huang Zhong cautiously. If he did anything wrong, he would stop him quickly! And Luo Yang
He didn't dare to say anything nonsense anymore. He looked at Huang Zhong, then turned to look at Guo Jia. Guo Jia smiled faintly when he saw it, and said to Luo Yang, "My lord! General Huang did commit a crime this time."
Wrong! If the lord does not punish General Huang, it will not be good for the lord's military law! According to the opinion of the subordinates, the lord can first remove General Huang from the post of commander-in-chief and make him shut up for three months. After General Huang has made meritorious deeds in the future, he can then report the merits.
Atonement! I wonder what the Lord will do?"
Luo Yang was stunned, then nodded quickly and said: "Yeah! Yeah! That's good! That's it!" Anyway, Huang Zhong is seriously injured now, and it is impossible to continue to deal with military affairs. It would be better if he goes back to recuperate.
Living in isolation for three months is actually just an excuse to let Huang Zhong go home and have a good rest for three months!
Of course Huang Zhong could guess Guo Jia's intention. Just when he wanted to object, Luo Yang had already agreed. Although he was reluctant, he could only agree with a wry smile, and he felt even more grateful to Luo Yang in his heart.
Seeing that Huang Zhong's matter was finally settled, Luo Yang couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Guo Jia, who was leisurely and contented. He couldn't help but curse in his heart. This scholar is just different. With the two lips colliding, such a difficult thing can be done like this.
Solved it in a few words!
After dealing with these matters, Luo Yang discovered that after a long time, everyone was still standing stupidly at the gate of the city guard's mansion, even though he had invited everyone to go into the city guard's mansion to discuss the future war. And Huang Zhong was taken by Luo Yang.
In the name of punishment, he was escorted back to Xiangyang!
After entering the meeting hall of the city guard house, Zhao Yun, who has been handling military affairs on behalf of Huang Zhong these days, explained the basic situation to Luo Yang one by one. Luo Yang had also learned about the situation of the vanguard army through messengers before, and now what Zhao Yun said
Yes, it is a new situation that has appeared in the past three days!
"The day before yesterday, Yizhou's reinforcements also arrived at Bajun, and the number of defenders in the city has increased to more than 15,000! According to the spies' report, the commander-in-chief of Yizhou's reinforcements is Yizhou soldier Cao Jialong!" Zhao Yun said.
As he said that, his expression was a little not so good. Now he felt a little regretful. If he had known that the other party would come with so many reinforcements, he should have let the Bingzhou cavalry attack Bajun City with all their strength. Although the casualties would be greater, the defeated generals would be defeated from the remaining soldiers.
It is no problem to capture Bajun by hand! But now, even if Luo Yang's army arrives, it may not be easy to capture Bajun!
"Jia Long?" Luo Yang has heard of this name, but according to previous intelligence, isn't this Jia Long fighting fiercely with another faction under Liu Yan? I heard that his military power has gradually been lost to Liu Yan
How could he suddenly bring so many soldiers and horses and arrive at Bajun in such a timely manner after being deprived of his power? Unable to understand the reason, Luo Yang subconsciously turned his head and looked at Guo Jia.
At this moment, Guo Jia also looked solemn. Obviously this was not good news. Jia Long was able to send troops to rescue so quickly, which greatly exceeded their previous expectations. As a result, the original plan to quickly capture Yizhou failed!
Zhao Yun continued: "After the Yizhou reinforcements arrived, they made several tentative attacks on Fuling, but they were all repelled by the Bingzhou cavalry! However, what surprised the general was that the Yizhou army was absolutely
Knowing the current situation of our army, we did not directly launch a general attack on Fuling! Otherwise, based on the previous situation of our army, we would never be able to defend Fuling!"
Hearing Zhao Yun's doubts, Guo Jia shook his head and said with a sneer: "Actually, this is not surprising. In my opinion, Jia Long did this deliberately! If I am not wrong, I am afraid that Jia Long and
The conflict between Zhao Wei has not been resolved, but because we invaded Yizhou, Jia Long had a certain advantage! In a sense, we saved Jia Long who was being forced into a desperate situation! Jia Long is now
Naturally, he is reluctant to regain the lost ground so quickly, and he wants to use us to seek greater benefits! Alas! It’s a pity that Mr. Cheng is not here, he is the best at analyzing this kind of thing! "
Luo Yang nodded. He understood what Guo Jia meant. It refers to the official way that Cheng Yu specializes in. It is perfect for analyzing the political struggle in Yizhou. But now Cheng Yu is far away in Nanyang and is not there at all.
It may be impossible to come to Yizhou to help with the analysis, but it is unrealistic to summon Cheng Yulai now, so now we can only rely on Guo Jia, the only counselor around us!
He frowned tightly, lowered his head and thought for a moment. Guo Jia raised his head and asked Zhao Yun: "General Zhao! What are the flags of the soldiers and horses sent by Jia Long to test them? Did the general see clearly?"
"Uh!" Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully, then raised his head and said: "This, if I remember correctly, there seems to be a flag with the word 'Wu'!"
"'Wu'?" Guo Jia lowered his head again, his eyebrows were twisted into twists, and said to himself: "Wu? Well, according to the intelligence, there don't seem to be many generals named Wu in Yizhou!
It seems that there are only two who have some identity, one is Wu Lan and the other is Wu Yi! Well! Of course, we don’t rule out the possibility that Jia Long will send some unknown soldiers!"
"Ah!" Just when Guo Jia was talking to himself, Zhao Yun seemed to remember something again, and quickly added: "By the way! Mr. Guo, the last general also saw a military flag with the words 'Dongzhou' written on it.
A word!”
"Dongzhou!" Guo Jia raised his head in a flash, looked at Zhao Yun with wide eyes, and shouted: "It's the Dongzhou soldiers? Oh my God! This Liu Yan actually handed over the Dongzhou soldiers to Jia Long.
?That's what he needs to save his life! Haha! It seems that we really drove him to a panic!" Guo Jia's problem of talking to himself became more and more serious, and in the end he was just giggling to himself.
Got up.
"Ahem!" Seeing Guo Jia looking a little nervous, Luo Yang couldn't help but cough a few times, but Guo Jia still didn't respond. Luo Yang could only shout: "Fengxiao! You have figured it out.
What’s your idea? Why don’t you tell me and listen to it!”
Hearing Luo Yang's shouting, Guo Jia came back to his senses, looked up at Luo Yang, suddenly smiled again, and said: "Haha, lord! Everyone! This is the idea of attacking Bajun, haha! I'm sorry, I
I haven’t thought of it yet!”
"Uh!" Looking at Guo Jia's appearance and hearing the first half of what he said, Luo Yang and everyone thought that Guo Jia had already come up with an idea, and they were all intrigued by him. But Guo Jia's last sentence
When he said it, Luo Yang immediately had the urge to beat him up! His eyes widened, and the veins on his forehead jumped up and down. He glared at Guo Jia and gritted his teeth and hummed: "Guo! Feng!
filial piety!"
"Haha!" In response to Luo Yang's murderous gaze, Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Master, don't be anxious! Although there is no way, my subordinates already have some clues!"
