Chapter 623: Recommend Guo Jia
After late autumn, it is early winter.
The breeze that was cool a few days ago is now a little chilly.
The weather gradually turned cold, and the people in the city unconsciously added their clothes. Fortunately, the wheat grain in the fields was harvested a few days ago, otherwise I wouldn't know how to survive this winter.
Every time I think of this, the people are extremely happy in their hearts.
In the county guard's mansion, Lu Bu, wearing a military attache uniform, stood in front of the huge terrain drawn with sand and stone, and his strategists and generals were all in the hall, standing one after another, surrounding the war sand table and forming a long oval.
"I got the news in the morning that Yuan Shu had sent the general Qiao Rui as the vanguard, crossed Runan, and entered Yingchuan. The intention, I don't say, everyone should be able to guess. β
As the chief military advisor of this trip, Xiao Ji explained first, and his finger lightly tapped at the position of Yingchuan.
Not only that, but as early as a few days ago, they got the news. Cao Cao commanded 30,000 troops and stationed in Jiyin; Two brothers, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, were stationed in Chenliu.
In addition, Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao took Yan Liang as the general and increased the number of troops on the white horse.
The purpose of the reinforcement and dispatch of various forces is obviously very clear, that is, to join forces to deal with Lu Bu, who intends to go eastward.
On the sand table, these four forces were connected with a line, like a large net that gradually closed in an inner arc, trapping Chen Liu, where Lu Bu was located.
After explaining the current situation, Xiao Ji looked worried, and said quite worriedly: "Lord, if these forces are allowed to join forces, it will definitely be very disadvantageous to us!" β
As soon as Xiao Ji finished speaking, someone next to him took over and said: "Da Sima, Chen Liu's place is not easy to defend, it is better to retreat to the Tiger Prison Pass for the time being, defend it according to the pass, wait until the enemy army disperses, and then come back to break them one by one." β
"Zhang joins the army, and what he says is reasonable."
Some people nodded in agreement, and a few people in the hall also nodded yes.
The generals were not convinced, and they had followed Lu Bu to fight for so many years, and there had never been a case of retreating without a fight.
"Lord, please join a team of men and horses with the last general, and the last general is willing to take off the head of the enemy general for the lord." General Huang Zhong took the initiative to ask for help, and said to Lu Bu with his fists.
"Lord, the last general is willing to go with General Huang!" Fang Yue then clenched his fists, and also shouted to fight.
"Lord ......"
"Lord ......"
More than eighty percent of the generals said that they should take the initiative to attack and give the enemy a dismount to break the thief's courage.
However, the enthusiasm of these generals was heard by the literati and strategists in the hall, but they couldn't help shaking their heads in their hearts, secretly saying that they were reckless.
The so-called strategists have always paid attention to the overall situation and do not care about the immediate gains and losses, while the military generals with a reckless temperament have never given up an inch of land.
In their eyes, if they swallow something in their stomach, there is no reason to spit it out.
If there is no unanimity of opinion, quarrels will naturally arise.
The content of the quarrel was nothing more than that the generals ridiculed the strategists for their cowardice, and the strategists fought back that the generals were brave and unstrategic.
"Stop arguing!"
Lu Bu, who was so noisy that he had a headache, roared, swept everyone around with a cold face, and said coldly: "I asked you to come here today to discuss strategies, not to learn from the market to point to Sang and scold Huai." β
Lu Bu was angry, and everyone in the hall instantly quieted down, and lowered their heads a little ashamedly, silent.
If he couldn't count on Xiao Ji and the others, Lu Bu could only rely on the strategy of the art of war he had read and learned in the past to arrange his troops.
There is a way that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.
If you don't even meet each other, you will retreat bravely, and you will be laughed at by the world in the future, and you will not be worthy of the title of 'the world's first general'.
After his eyes tossed around on the sand table, and after muttering for a long time, Lu Bu had a plan.
"Hansheng, I will have 8,000 soldiers and horses with you, and you will garrison Waihuang."
"Whoa!"
Huang Zhong replied with a strong sense of war in his eyes.
Waihuang County is located in the east of Chenliu County, and is more than 200 miles away from Jiyin County, where Cao Cao is currently located.
"Fang Yue, I will have 5,000 soldiers with you, and you will go to garrison Xiangyi."
"Whoa!"
Fang Yue, who was named, couldn't suppress his joy, and responded loudly with his fists clenched, as if he wanted the whole world to know that he had received this important task.
Xiangyi is only more than 40 miles away from Jiwu, and a war may break out with Zhang Chao, who occupies Jiwu, at any time.
Fang Yue was not afraid of this at all, and even yearned for it. Since he joined Lu Bu's account, he has never made great contributions, so he is extremely eager to make meritorious deeds to prove himself.
Subsequently, LΓΌ Bu ordered Zhang Liao and Song Xian, who had sent grain here, to each lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to the two counties of Yu and Weishi as a barrier to block Qiaorui.
Lu Bu remembered that Yuan Shu had three major generals under him, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, and Qiao Rui. The force value of these three people is second-rate, but their ability to command troops is still remarkable.
Lu Bu used the four counties in Chenliu as a barrier, and looked down from the map, like a strong shield of the outer arch, firmly protecting Chenliu County behind him.
At the end of the meeting, the generals took their orders and left.
Lu Bu sat in the hall and wrote two letters by hand, which were sent to Chang'an.
One for his wife and daughter, and one for his husband.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Chang'an City, a mansion near the Great Sima Mansion.
Dressed in a thick jacket, Xi Ce knelt in front of the bookcase, on which was spread out the military strategy map of the Central Plains. The fortresses of the city were all outlined and marked.
"Recently, the climate has plummeted, and my husband is cold, so I still have to add more clothes on weekdays. As for Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's generation, I regard them as local chickens and dogs, and Mr. Don't worry. β
The letter said lightly, but how can these great princes who sit on a state land be so easy to deal with.
General, he just doesn't want to worry about himself.
Knowing Lu Bu's intentions, a trace of warmth flowed through Xi Ce's heart. He stared at every place on the map, holding the bamboo slip in his right hand and tapping it lightly on the palm of his hand.
A cold wind hit.
cough cough cough ~ ~ cough ~~
Xi Ce shrunk his body and coughed palely.
Hearing the coughing sound, his wife Dong Yan walked out of the house, holding a thick white fox fur in her hand, draped it on Xi Ce's body, and the particularly beautiful goose face had a few wisps of worry: "Xi Lang, you are seriously ill, so let's go back to the back room to rest." β
"Let Mrs. worry, it's too much."
Xi Ce stopped coughing and looked back at his wife, apologetic with a sickly face.
For this very beautiful woman, Xi Ce does not have too much emotion, perhaps in his heart, he still can't forget the plain white figure he once had.
Dong Yan knew that she couldn't persuade her to play, so she knelt next to her and patiently helped her husband polish ink.
Seeing it in his eyes, Xi Ce took a blank bamboo slip from the right corner of the desk, thought for a long time, and then dipped the pen in ink and slowly began to write.
The general is above:
The letter has been received, and I am grateful that everything will be well.
Some time ago, I learned that Cao and Yuan's generation jointly wanted to attack the general, but they only hated the meager body and failed to serve in front of the account, which was a pity in this life.
Therefore, there is a word that the general would like to hear.
In everything, ask more about filial piety.
After careful calculation, Feng Xiaosui also had six years with the general. It's just that the general never consulted his opinion, and even aimed at Yu Fengxiao, I often thought about it, but I didn't get the result.
Although Yuan Tu is resourceful, he is far from being the opponent of the Xun family's uncles and nephews.
If you want to break Yuan and Cao, you must have filial piety to help.
If the general can let go of everything, put aside all the past, and receive advice, I believe that the day when he will achieve hegemony will not be far away.
In addition, although there is an undercurrent in Chang'an City, please don't worry about it. As the general said, there is nothing to worry about.
Finally, in Chang'an, waiting for the general's triumph.
