The crisp horse bell and heavy hooves stepped on the desolate official road, and the fluttering swallow flag set out on the way home. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiang Jin howled the ballad sung in Youzhou at the top of his throat, but Yan Bei couldn't laugh anyway.

The way back was far away, and Yanbei did not ride a war horse again, but sat on the couch of the chariot and listened to Guo Jia tell him about the war in Guo Fengxiao's eyes.

"General, the ins and outs of Jia already roughly knows, Yuan Benchu's major generals are weak, if the army sweeps up, it will be as short as three months and as long as half a year...... Bohai County will inevitably turn into scorched earth. Guo Jia sat on the side of the chariot, although he had a wine jug tied around his waist, his expression was very cautious, and he said to Yanbei: "But if the general attacks the Bohai Sea, it seems that it is only a strategy. ”

The first half of Guo Jia's sentence won the heart of Yanbei.

In fact, in his opinion, this is the case, Yuan Shao relies on Yan Liangwen and ugly Yu Qiong, and the soldiers are no more than thousands of people in the county, he Yanbei can instigate Montenegro and force Han Wenjie to feint with a shout, even if it is a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, one of ten beating you can stuff him Yuan Benchu into the East China Sea to feed the big fish!

How dare you be hostile to me?

This is actually the real reason for Yan Bei's anger. He was very polite to the scholars, except for the Kong Ling who borrowed troops from Cao Cao that day and led him to look down on him, whether others sent troops or not, he didn't offend anyone.

Even if the sky in Kanto has changed, he didn't say that he wanted to come out and take someone else's inheritance...... He's a horse bandit! Doing this is not enough to give face?

Rob or not rob others, follow his heart. He robbed it, it was born like this; He doesn't rob, that's because he is restrained enough...... If the imperial court is still in charge of the world, it should give Yan someone a virtuous and good way!

It's all like this, and you still want to be hostile to me?

To be honest, Yanbei is not interested in seizing people's inheritance, otherwise the Liaodong Taishou at the beginning would have invited himself. What he likes is to rule, appoint and dismiss county orders, make a decision to defend Taishou with one word, control Han Fu remotely, and rule the Kwantung coalition army.

He seeks to rule over the minority who rule over others, not over the mediocre majority.

Until now, he Yanbei has not found out that there is anyone in this world who he wants to instruct, but can't.

Yuan Benchu is hard-boned, I will not rule you, I respect the offense of the fourth and third princes in your family, and stay away from you...... It's good for you, just a guard, and you still want to pretend to be a bad general?

Therefore, the second half of Guo Jia's sentence caused Yanbei to dislike it, and said: "What is the next policy? ”

Yanbei was lying to Cao Cao last night, in fact, since Cao Mengde said yesterday that Yuan Shao was hostile to him, Yanbei made the first move on the way home to clean up Yuan Shao. What nonsense that Yuan Shao would never do if he didn't offend him was just to stabilize Cao Cao.

If Yuan Shao really harmed Han Fu, can he still leave him a way to live?

"The next strategy is to start a war with Benchu on the way back to Liaodong." Guo Jia sat cross-legged on the couch, his body swayed with the bumps of the carriage, slowly untied the wine jug and knocked it lightly on the wheel, listening to the sound of the water in the wine jug and showing a satisfied smile, then he looked up at Yanbei and said: "There are three advantages to attacking Bohai County, except for the opponents who will compete for Jizhou in the future, and the Hanwen Festival that protects the pro-affiliated generals......"

Guo Jia suddenly stopped talking about this, looked at Yan Bei and smiled before continuing: "It can also make the general vent his evil anger, although I don't know why the general is angry, but when I visited the tent last night, I was obviously angry." ”

Yan Bei pursed his upper teeth and bit his lower lip, making a laughing motion even though he didn't laugh.

Guo Jia is right, he mainly wants to vent his anger.

"You're right." Yan Bei sighed, he needed to re-examine his actions. The Kwantung rites collapsed, and it was not only the princes from all walks of life who broke free from the shackles in their hearts, but also Yanbei. Although he kept reminding himself that he couldn't float, and even left Wang Mang's head in the imperial treasury to warn him, he still couldn't be full of arrogance. "If you raise your head three feet, there will be gods who bow their heads, and no one can lack reverence...... Isn't it worth fighting for these two benefits? ”

Yan Bei tried his best to correct his attitude and put his temper aside. It is never wrong to be angry because others despise you, and this has always been one of the driving forces that drive people to forge ahead, but people do not live to be angry or to be seen by others.

What's more, before forging ahead, it is important to judge right and wrong with a clear mind.

"It's worth it, whether it's fighting for Jizhou in the future or the current Hangeul Festival, it's worth it, and the general must do something about it." The more important Guo Jia spoke, the more contemptuous he became, and he unplugged the wine bag and poured it into his mouth...... I really can't figure out how this Central Plains scholar has the free and easy meaning of a border man when he drinks wine. Smacking his mouth lightly as if he was savoring the wine, Guo Jia said to Yan Bei: "But there are three evils in easy war, do you want to hear it?" ”

In fact, the two of them didn't know in their hearts, and this incident could be regarded as an examination for both parties. Yanbei examines Guo Jia's wisdom, and Guo Jia examines Yanbei's temperament.

Yanbei gestured and asked Guo Jia to continue.

"Death and wounding of elite soldiers are inevitable; defeated and killed Yuan Benchu, hurting his reputation; Gongsun Chan and Goguryeo were constrained in many ways. Guo Jia pressed down the clothes that were lifted by the wind, raised his palm and smoothed it out: "So in the next place, it is the next policy to attack Bohai County with strong troops." ”

"Where there are immortals in war, it is really inevitable."

Yanbei listened to what Guo Jia said, every sentence was reasonable, but it was nonsense. Can you fight a war without dying? Can you win the battle without killing Yuan Shao and waiting for him to take revenge? Or does Yanbei already have the ability to rule Gongsun Chan and Goguryeo, so that they don't make trouble?

"Fengxiao, since you said that this is the next policy, then there must be a middle policy and a good policy, it is better to say it together, let me think about it more."

Guo Jia took another sip of wine, nodded and said, "Sorry general, there is never a middle strategy in the lower down, only two strategies in the upper and lower areas, both of which can win!" ”

It's kind of interesting!

"Say it." Yan Bei raised his eyebrows and said, "The best policy!" ”

"The general sent a letter telling Gongsun Zhan that Yuan Shao was going to seize Jizhou and asked him to be careful about the way back to Liaoxi." Yanbei still listened to the following, Guo Jia spread his hands and said: "No, this is the best policy." Then the general led the soldiers and horses without passing through Bohai County, and went straight to Youzhou, resting the soldiers, and the soldiers and horses could be recuperated. ”

Yan Bei glared and asked, "Feng Xiao is not entertaining Yan, what's the use of this?" ”

It's not directly good for him!

"The general sent this letter, and Gongsun Zhan would naturally start a war with Yuan Shao on behalf of the general, and the general could sit and watch the success or failure in Liaodong. The general was angry, Jizhou did not fall into the hands of people, the two soldiers and horses fought in Jizhou, Han Wenjie could be coordinated in the middle, whoever he supplied with military rations could win, and he could also be preserved. Guo Jia asked rhetorically: "General Yu has all the three benefits and three evils, why not?" ”

As soon as Guo Jia said this, Yanbei came back to his senses, and this is indeed the truth. War is also nothing more than a solution to a problem, and is usually used as a last resort after it is impossible to rely on conventional means to get what it should or want, and there is nothing to be done.

As Guo Jia said, if Gongsun Zhan used troops against Yuan Shao, the three goals that Yanbei hoped to achieve would be achieved...... It's just that he's not used to this, this way of thinking.

However, Yan Bei still said stupidly: "What if the letter is sent, but Gongsun Chan is unwilling to send troops?" Or Bo Gui sent troops, but was defeated by Yuan Shao. ”

"There are no absolutes, the general will give it a try." Guo Jiale squinted his eyes and drank, showing a leisurely appearance, and asked Yanbei: "The general will make plans to use troops in Bohai County because of Cao Mengde's hostility, why won't Gongsun Bogui?" ”

After that, Guo Jia also picked his eyes and looked at Yanbei, "Gongsun Zhan will not send troops, and the general will return to Liaodong to rest for three months, and go south to attack the Bohai Sea, which can also avoid the pain of being cut off from the back road; And Gongsun Chan sent troops, no matter whether he won or lost, it was good for the general, and both of them were enemies of the general, right? ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jiacai finally showed a serious expression, waved his hand and said to Yanbei with a lot of pride: "Gongsun Zhan Sheng, Yuan Shaosheng, are all good things for the general, with the pillow Ge's troops swept south to attack his tired troops, but the matter of Jizhou can be determined in a war!" If the two are deadlocked, it is also a good thing that both sides will lose, and the general will also fight Jizhou! ”

What is a Good Strategist? This is a good strategist!

Yan Bei's eyes lit up.

Isn't the so-called counselor a plan proposed by the ruler, and the counselor can paint out the whole plan, pick out the most advantageous of them, discern the disadvantages that will go wrong in it, and try to correct it into a better means?

At this moment, Yanbei put forward the idea of cleaning up Yuan Shao, which has become a plan in Guo Jia's hands to annex Jizhou and cut off the two princes of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao.

And the way this plan was implemented was just to send a letter!

"As for the general's concern that Gongsun Chan will not send troops, it doesn't matter, I have seen Yuan Shao in the next place, and I have a deep talk with him to know that he is more resourceful and less decisive. Don't say that in March, the general just gave him half a year, and he may not be able to do anything big! ”

Guo Jia's words seemed a bit too much to Yanbei.

"Meng De said yesterday that Yuan Shao is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, I know this, as for saying that he is more resourceful and less decisive, Yan has a different opinion. Yuan Benchu is a masterpiece, and it is precisely because of the master that he needs to think more about doing things, and he can't make hasty decisions. Yan Bei smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because of his more scheming and less decisive that I will be afraid that when he really makes a decision, it will be like thunder from the sky." ”

Raising the morale of others, Yan Bei would not lose his prestige, and smiled at Guo Jia: "But with you Guo Fengxiao, I am afraid that the thunder will fall on his Yuan Benchu's head first." ”

Without waiting for Guo Jia to respond, Yanbei took the water bladder from the back of the car and ordered someone to find Sun Qing, so he touched Guo Jia with the water bladder and drank the next sip.

He is the main general, so naturally you can't drink alcohol on the road.

After a while, Sun, who was riding the horse first, ran to the front of the car lightly, smiled at Yan Bei and asked, "What is the matter with the general's subordinates, but please give orders." ”

"You bring some fresh faces, go to Jizhou first to do some customs clearance and seal letters to the Hanwen Festival in Yecheng, don't mix into Bohai County with flags, take a look at what Yuan Benchu is doing these days for me, find out all the movements of their troops and horses, and see you in Liyang in ten years."
