"Ahem! --The army went on an expedition to Liaodong, and countless money and food were consumed, how could there be any reason to give up halfway, and it was ridiculed for being ridiculed for being a small matter, and the legacy of the descendants was a big matter, and the prime minister could not withdraw from the army, and he must not withdraw from the army--cough cough! ”

Just when the ministers proposed to withdraw and Cao Cao was undecided, an anxious shout sounded, and then, with the support of two attendants, Guo Jia appeared in the big tent and resolutely opposed the retreat!

In just a few days, the ghost is almost out of phase, his body is thin, his face is sallow, his steps are extremely floating, if there is no one to support him, I am afraid that he will fall to the ground, and it is distressing to watch!

Guo Jiaben was sick in the future, and when he heard that the prime minister had gathered his ministers to discuss major military affairs, he was worried that everyone's will would be shaken, so he chose to withdraw halfway, so he took two gold pills in a row, forcibly cheered up, and came to the meeting!

"Please also ask Guo Sai to take care of his body, military affairs, the rise and fall of the society, and Mr.'s plan is indispensable!"

"It's the old man's fault that Fengxiao suffers this ordeal, sit down and rest quickly - take the brazier left and right!"

……………………………………

The civil and military ministers stood up and saluted one after another, their eyes showed unbearable expressions, the ghost who has always been uninhibited and energetic, has lost weight to this point, how much effort has it taken, and how much hard work has it suffered?

The problem is that the battlefield situation is changing rapidly and requires a strong ability to adapt, and only Guo Jia and Xiao Yi have this ability in the full camp of civil and military affairs, and the latter is living in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness, and the pressure is all on Guo Jia alone, so it is naturally even harder!

Cao Cao took off the fox fur, personally draped it on Guo Jia, let him sit beside him, and asked people to bring braziers and hot tea...... The love is incomparable, and it is better than one's own flesh and blood!

The traitorous male is not deliberately showing, but sincere, and several important ministers under his command: Xun Yu and Xun Yu are in Cao Ying, with the Han family in their hearts; Cheng Yu is scheming and selfish; Yat Siu is unruly and difficult to navigate...... The rest are either not loyal enough, or not capable enough, and it is difficult for them to take on the big responsibility!

Only Guo Jia is a natural genius, and he is loyal to the Cao family, and has never had personal desires, so he has won the trust of Cao Cao, and he is also the first choice of Tuogu, ready to leave it to the heir and escort it!

Only Guo Jia's intelligence can assist the young master of the Cao family, replace the Han world, and create a Cao dynasty!

There is only Guo Jia alone, who can restrain Xiao Yi, make him dare not act rashly, and ensure that the Cao family will be passed on forever!

"The army goes out to fight, consumes countless people, if it returns in vain, it will inevitably lose the spirit of the three armies, and also lose the hope of the people in all directions, if so, even if the prime minister waives his army to the south, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed!

The steppe nomadic tribe is a big trouble for the country, the Huns lost their troops and lost their generals, their vitality was greatly damaged, Karasuma and Xianbei took advantage of the weakness to enter, and they were in the ascendant, and now it is too early to crusade against it, and when the two departments develop a climate, there will be no peace in northern Xinjiang!

Besides, the weather is cold and the road is difficult, although it is a harm, but there is also a benefit, the enemy army is bound to be light and unprepared, our army will attack with surprise soldiers, and a battle can be decided--cough! ”

After Guo Jia sat down, he took out a map from his arms, and couldn't wait to plan a strategy, which was a map of Liaodong drawn by reading various geography books and asking the people of Youzhou during his recuperation!

However, Liaodong has always been a wild place, and it is not valued by the imperial court, the written record is very limited, and the language is vague and vague, and it is also very difficult to draw a military map, and it takes a lot of effort!

Even so, Guo Jia still forcibly supported and planned for the Liaodong war, he had a very strong view of the overall situation, and he knew the importance of this battle, so he desperately opposed the retreat!

Since the establishment of power by the Chinese nation, it has been harassed by the northern nomads, the Xia Dynasty and the 'Beidi', the Yin Shang and the 'Ghost Fang', and the 'Dog Rong' in the Western Zhou Dynasty...... In order to compete for living space, the war has never been extinguished, but has intensified!

In the Qin and Han dynasties, with the Xiongnu tribes in the north, it was a bloody battle, endless, and it lasted for hundreds of years.

The problem is that the steppe wolves will never disappear, the Huns have just declined, Karasuma and Xianbei have risen again, they are all descendants of Donghu, with the same roots, common customs, and there is a tendency to gradually integrate, and the military power is also multiplied!

King Xianbei - Kebi Neng died in Yecheng, and King Karasuma - Ban Dun monopolized power, reintegrated the tribes of the two tribes, had 70,000 or 80,000 elite horsemen, and plundered countless Han family people, craftsmen, and scholars, built a royal palace in Liucheng, divided hundreds of officials, and reclaimed land...... It has the meaning of turning tribes into countries!

It is conceivable that if the Cao army gave up the expedition, within 20 years, Karasuma and Xianbei would inevitably rise to become a powerful force integrating nomadism and farming, and the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty would never be at peace.

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, one day of arsoning with the enemy, eternal trouble, the old man has made up his mind, crusade against Liaodong, no victory, no return, and then there is a person who retreats - beheaded!"

Cao Cao is also a great wisdom, he instantly understood what Guo Jia meant, and also made up his mind to go on an expedition, pulled out the sword of Yitian, and inserted it in the middle of the big tent.

"Obey the military order of the Prime Minister - go to Liaodong, and you will not be able to win!"

……………………

Who dares to disobey the will of the traitor, the ministers bowed and saluted, indicating that they would continue the expedition, but they all had sad faces, big words are easy to say, things are difficult to protect, how to overcome the difficulties of the expedition?

"Don't worry, I have two ways to overcome all the difficulties: one is to dig a ditch and deliver provisions; The second is a detour, a surprise attack! ”

Since the expedition of the Cao army, because the roads are difficult to travel, the logistics supply is difficult, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly affected, Guo Jia has thought of a good way, which is to use the wet water system to dig a large ditch between 'Xu Wu' and 'Linyu'!

Wet water originates from the northern grassland, with many tributaries and abundant water, flowing south through Yuyang, Youbeiping, and Liaoxi...... The counties, which finally enter the sea from Leting, are one of the famous water systems in the north!

This canal is 180 miles long, half of the use of natural rivers, half of which need to be dug manually, after the completion of the project, you can use boats to transport grain, grass, ordnance, save the pain of walking and transporting, the problem of fresh water is also solved, it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!

This is equivalent to advancing the base camp of the Cao army to the northeast for one hundred and eighty miles, and there is no need to worry about logistics, and after the ditch is completed, the weather should be completely warmer, and then the decisive battle with Karasuma and Xianbei will have a much greater chance of victory!

According to Guo Jia's plan, the ditch will be extended in the future, and it is best to dig it to Liaodong County and connect it with the Daling River and Xiaoling River to form a Grand Canal of five or six hundred miles!

In the future, if there is a war in the Northeast, the soldiers, horses, grain and grass of the imperial court will be able to quickly reach the counties of Liaodong through this canal, quell all rebellions, and use this as a basis to expand the territory to the Northeast and compete for living space!

On the march route, Guo Jia denied the Hexi Corridor, this road is difficult and difficult, not to mention the time-consuming, and it is still expected by the enemy, so an ambush must be set up, and another road must be chosen to surprise the troops to attack!

As for taking that road, Guo Jia hasn't thought about it yet, the environment in Liaodong is complicated, and there is no good guide, if you rush to send troops, I'm afraid that the enemy's shadow will not be seen, and he will be trapped in the wilderness!

There is also the candidate for the commander of the army, in the past, when the lone army was deep and thousands of miles of sneak attack, as long as it was handed over to Xiao Yi to command the army, it must be a success, because of the high merit and the master's matter, Xiao Yi was forced to retreat into the mountains, among the rest of the generals, who can take on this heavy responsibility?

Thinking of this, Guo Jia only felt that his eyes were full of gold stars and his limbs were weak, and he hurriedly took two golden pills before he could suppress it, but how long can he last with such squeezing potential?

……………………………………………………………………

In the next few days, the army stopped advancing, and was stationed in the Linyu area for a comprehensive rest, and also built a base camp to hoard grain and grass, and at the same time discussed digging ditches and drinking water, and dividing troops to sneak attack!

It is relatively easy to dig a ditch, as long as the terrain is surveyed and manpower is transferred, in order to commend Guo Jia's merits, and in order to pray for him for good fortune, everyone unanimously decides that this ditch is called 'Fengxiao Canal!' ’

It is difficult to divide the troops and sneak attack, there is no guide to guide the way, there is no famous general to lead, who has the certainty of victory, once the sneak attack fails, the consequences are unimaginable, Cao Cao even secretly decided, there is really no suitable candidate, only to go out in person!

"Boom! --Boom! Boom! ”

"Woo! --Woo! Woo! ”

…………………………

On this day, everyone was discussing the military aircraft, and the drums and trumpets sounded in the camp, which was earth-shattering and endless, and the civil and military ministers were all surprised, and they all drew their swords, thinking that it was a sneak attack by the enemy!

"Report! --The four generals Gao Shun, Yu Ban, Zhang Xiu, and Jiang Qi, who led the headquarters of the people, came to meet with the Prime Minister, did they open the camp gate? ”

A moment later, a colonel ran into the big tent, his face was full of joy, it turned out that it was not the enemy soldiers who sneaked attack, but his own reinforcements arrived!

After receiving the order, the four departments raised grain and grass, handed over the defense, and went to Crouching Tiger Mountain again, specifically to resign to Xiao Yi, so they were one step late, and only joined the main army today!

"Quickly open the camp gate, invite the four generals to meet in the big tent, and then take out the cattle, sheep, and wine, reward the soldiers who came, and the whole army celebrates a day!"

Hearing that the reinforcements had arrived, Cao Cao was overjoyed, on the one hand: the four departments of nearly 100,000 people and horses have greatly enriched their strength, and they have enough manpower to dig that ditch!

On the other hand: Cao Cao was not completely at ease about Xiao Yi's seclusion, for fear that during his expedition to Liaodong, Xiao Yi would suddenly rebel, control the cities in Guangyang, Yuyang, and Youbeiping, and cut off the retreat of 200,000 Cao troops, then it would be completely over!

Now that the four generals have come to command the troops, it shows that Xiao Yizhen has no objections, and Cao Cao is completely relieved, and he can concentrate all his energy to deal with the two departments of Karasuma and Xianbei, as well as the Gongsun family in Liaodong!

Regarding Guo Jia's life and death, I voted in the readership, and the results were divided...... This is difficult to do, do you have to make the baron's decision?
