Chapter 98: Countermeasures
Hearing Xi Zhong say this, all the Wenchen were also worried.
Jizhou was caught in the flames of war, but the situation in Zhongshan was outstanding.
After Guo Jia took office, Yu Minqiu did not commit any crimes, and repelled the attack of the bandits in Taihang Mountain.
What's more, he had 10,000 soldiers under his command.
With the protection of these 10,000 soldiers, the entire Zhongshan County can be as stable as Mount Tai.
But in the face of the more than 100,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Thieves, these 10,000 county soldiers are still a little stretched.
But the enemy is ahead, and it's too late to recruit troops.
"Lord!"
At this time, Man Pet stood up.
"There are still a large number of private soldiers and domestic slaves in the hands of the powerful people in Zhongshan, and we can gather them in the name of the Taishou Mansion. I think we will be able to raise tens of thousands of troops in a short period of time. ”
Not bad!
Everyone nodded.
The reason why Haoqiang dominates one side is because they have food and soldiers in their hands, just like small independent countries.
If their private soldiers are gathered, it is also a great force.
Don't!
Guo Jia waved his hand.
He knew very well in his heart that the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army was a scum, not to mention that compared with the regular army of the imperial court, even compared with the county soldiers under him, it was much worse.
These are just peasants who have put down their hoes.
Soldiers are not expensive!
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Although we only have 10,000 soldiers and horses in Zhongshan, it is not easy for the Yellow Turban Army to defeat it. Everyone, please see! ”
He pointed to the map above.
"Lunu, Wuji, and Anguo are on the three sharp corners of Zhongshan County, and no matter where the Yellow Turban Thief comes from, they must pass through these three corners. As long as these three corners are guarded, Zhongshan will be as stable as Mount Tai. ”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
It's no wonder that Lord Taishou divided his troops into three places at the beginning, it turns out that he already has a draft.
But......
To the south of Wuji County is Xiaquyang, where are the tens of thousands of troops stationed in Zhang Bao, can the two thousand soldiers and horses of Xu Shu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei really be able to stop Zhang Bao?
Even Xi Zhong was a little skeptical.
Rest assured!
Guo Jia smiled and said: "The tens of thousands of troops under Zhang Bao will definitely not go north, Xu Yuanzhi is resourceful, and Guan and Zhang are brave." Coupled with the help of the Zhen family in Wuji County, Wuji County will definitely be impregnable. All we have to deal with is the hundreds of thousands of troops on the Guangyang side and the movement of the thieves in Taihang Mountain. ”
This......
The crowd was a little confused!
Taishou-sama seems to be confident.
How did he know that Zhang Bao would not go north?
Guo Jia smiled and said nothing.
Based on his understanding of the strategy of the Yellow Turban Army, the Yellow Turban Army originally planned to gather soldiers and horses from 36 parties to besiege Luoyang.
Luoyang City, the center of the Eastern Han Dynasty, once Luoyang was defeated, the Han Dynasty would be over.
The plan was a good plan, but it was stranded because of Tang Zhou's whistleblowing.
Zhang Jiao was forced to revolt in advance, and only a small part of the 36 parties were mobilized, and they only gathered around Jizhou.
At that time, there was no mobile phone, and there was no notification from afar, and the rest of the people were working separately and did not belong to each other.
In other words, Zhang Jiao can only directly affect the land of Jizhou, and he can't help other places.
After Zhang Jiao's uprising, he led an army of 100,000 to Luoyang.
The imperial court also reacted immediately.
Lu Zhi led 50,000 troops and horses to besiege Zhangjiao, and the two anti-rebellions launched a fierce battle in Guangzong.
Zhang Bao led tens of thousands of troops and horses to the north to settle in Xiaquyang, in order to open up the passage of the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou and Jizhou.
But he had a more important task, that is, to hold the rear of the base area.
Julu County is the rear of the Yellow Turban Army, which is also the hometown of the three brothers, and they have a good mass base here.
So for Zhang Bao, it would be better if the Yellow Turban Army in Guangyang could go south to rendezvous, and if they couldn't go south, Zhang Bao would not go north.
After all, guarding the rear of the base area is Zhang Bao's top priority.
Of course, if Zhongshan County is successfully taken by Zhang Niujiao of Guangyang, Zhang Bao will naturally fall into the well and encroach on the land of Zhongshan County.
"Lunu City is the foundation of Zhongshan, there are 4,000 infantry troops in it, 2,000 cavalry, and there is a dock fort as a horn, Guangyang's Zhang Niujiao does not come, if he comes, this Taishou can also let him have no return."
Guo Jia said contemptuously.
Hearing Taishou say this, everyone immediately relaxed.
Since this Taishou had already planned, they didn't have to worry.
Guo Jia's gaze fell on An Guo's position, and his face was slightly worried.
If Zhang Niujiao's army does not come to Lunu, but goes south along Zhuo County, passing through Anguo to Julu, it will be a little troublesome.
It was impossible for Zhang He's 2,000 men to stop Zhang Niujiao's 100,000 army.
For the sake of today's plan, we must attract Zhang Niujiao to Lunu.
Other than that......
Guo Jia's face flashed again.
There is also a force near Lunu, and that is Zhang Yan's Taihang Mountain bandits.
If they also respond to Zhang Jiao's call for an uprising, then Lunu City will soon face an attack by an army of 200,000.
How to settle Zhang Yan and make him content with the status quo is Guo Jia's primary consideration.
"Lord!"
Xi Zhong hugged his fists again.
As Guo Jia's first strategist, he has learned Guo Jia's true intentions.
"The subordinates have a plan, and they will definitely be able to lure Zhang Niujiao to Lunu City."
What strategy?
Guo Jia was overjoyed.
Xi Zhong smiled and said, "The Yellow Turban Thieves are greedy, if they learn that Lu Nu City is rich, they will naturally not let it go easily. As long as the lord releases this news, they will naturally run to Lunu. ”
Coup!
Guo Jia smiled and nodded.
is worthy of Cao Apu's early military advisor, and he quickly thought of a clever trick.
Very good!
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Then release the news, let the merchants in Lunu City take out all their money and goods to bask in the sun, and bring the Hu people to dance the female slave Hu Ji'er." ”
After Lunu City became the first border trade city, there were many businessmen gathered in it, and there were some Hu people, with orchids around them, these orchids were hot and beautiful like flowers, and they could sing and dance, which was very different from the women in the Central Plains, and it was also a major feature of Lunu City.
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Lunu City has money, goods and beauties, so it would be strange if Zhang Niujiao didn't come.
The matter on Zhang Niujiao's side has been solved, but the bandits in Taihang Mountain have not solved it yet.
Although not long ago, Guo Jia subdued Zhang Yan.
But Zhang Yan may not be able to represent all the bandits in Taihang Mountain.
It's best to find someone who can speak well to go to Zhang Yan and talk to him, so that he doesn't get involved with these yellow turban thieves.
At this moment, Man Pet stood up again.
"Lord, I am willing to go to Taihang Mountain to see Zhang Yan in person."
Guo Jia is happy again!
Full of favor is also quite eloquent, this time to Taihang Mountain will be able to move Zhang Yan.
As long as Zhang Yan can be dragged down, and when Lu Nu's side solves Zhang Niujiao, even if Zhang Yan comes again, Guo Jia will not be afraid.
