Chapter 1329: The Wisdom of the Devil and the Three Armies

Looking at Zhao Yu's eager appearance, Guo Jia didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and said directly to him: "I don't know if Your Majesty has heard an ancient saying, about the midwinter period, about the change of wind direction. ”

Hearing Guo Jia's question, Zhao Yu suddenly frowned, after all, for Zhao Yu. Before his death, he was in the special forces barracks, because of the jungle field battles and sniper gun practice, so he was particularly concerned about the changes in the weather. It's just that the weather that Zhao Yu was concerned about at that time was all known from the weather forecast, but since the crossing, there is no weather forecast, and Zhao Yu no longer pays attention. Regarding Guo Jia's inquiry this time, Zhao Yu naturally shook his head and didn't know: "I really have never heard of this question that Guo Jia said. ”

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "There is a folk proverb, the winter solstice is a yang, I don't know if Your Majesty understands or hears of this." ”

Zhao Yu suddenly frowned and said, "Winter solstice? I really don't know what this means, Guo Jia quickly explained it to me. ”

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "The winter solstice is a yang birth, which means that when winter arrives on the day of the winter solstice, the climate will change from extremely cold to warm. The winter solstice is the turning point of the climate from cold to warm, and such climate change can easily lead to a greater possibility of easterly and southerly winds. This is the truth that some people with rich common sense of life usually know this truth throughout the ages. In Guo Jia's view, tomorrow is the winter solstice, and the three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu chose to send people to induce our army to fight on this day, and fight with it, most likely because they want to gamble on this winter solstice. ”

"If there is a real climate change tomorrow at dusk, the northwest wind will change to the southeast wind. Then the enemy army can take advantage of the situation to attack, wait until the fire of battle burns, and with the help of the southeast wind, directly burn our warships. With the help of the fire in the direction of the wind, our soldiers could not stop it at all, so they could only abandon the ship and flee. At that time, let alone avoiding the enemy's fire, even in the face of the southeast wind, it will be difficult for our archers to use their bows. Even archers facing the enemy will definitely exert great combat power with the help of the power of the wind. ”

"So there's still a saying about it." When he heard Guo Jia's explanation, Zhao Yu couldn't help but be stunned. No matter how experienced Zhao Yu was, he didn't take this into account, if the enemy army really took advantage of tomorrow's strong wind to reverse, then the battle would be particularly unfavorable for his own army.

At that moment, I only heard Zhao Yu say to Guo Jia: "But if we discover the enemy's conspiracy and debunk it, I am afraid that the enemy army will huddle in the camp and start a protracted battle with our army with the help of natural dangers." In that case, it will be particularly detrimental to our war, and I don't want to consume it anymore. The officers and men of our army have been waiting for a long time for this war, and it would be best if it could end as soon as possible. I wonder if Guo Jia has any good plans? Let me hear it, though. ”

Guo Jia arched his hand at Zhao Yu and said, "Back to Your Majesty, according to the layout of the enemy army this time." Guo Jia guessed that the purpose of the enemy army was to attack the front army of our warships with fire. Then, taking advantage of the fire, when the southeast wind incurs our army, attack the left and right flanks of our army. In this way, the enemy's fire attack only needs to attack the middle of the left, center and right parts, and then the soldiers and horses surrounded by fire will naturally not be able to meet it. The soldiers and horses on the left and right flanks, if they wanted to move, were besieged by the enemy troops coming from the left and right flanks. ”

"There is even a possibility that the enemy army is divided into multiple units and directly blocks the retreat of our army first. Then they waited for an opportunity to attack the left and right flanks of our army, so that the front of our army was on fire. After the army is intercepted, the left and right flanks are sneak attacked, and the morale of these three armies will be in chaos, and the enemy will take the opportunity to surround our army. As long as we can't break through, we will continue to burn under the fire, accelerating the death and damage, and its casualties will be innumerable. The enemy must have had this ghost idea, trying to trap us as trapped beasts and then hunt us. ”

"If Your Majesty wants to listen to Guo Jia's opinion, then Guo Jia still means to act according to the previous plan. It was only a plan for the enemy to start a fire attack on our front army, and those warships that were on fire would inevitably not be able to escape because they were bound by iron chains. And our real army, in the rear, quickly cut the rope and quickly retreated. Of course, we must not retreat too quickly, and we must wait for the enemy's encircling fleet to surround us, so that we can start a melee with the enemy. ”

"Relatively speaking, it is better that our middle army and rear army have distanced themselves from the warships that were on fire in the front army. Even with the help of the direction of the wind, those fires will not be able to burn our middle army and rear army, especially from Guo Jia's point of view. Once a war breaks out, the enemy's soldiers and horses responsible for the attack will inevitably come to encircle and suppress it with all their might. Even if they see that the soldiers and horses behind us are separated from the soldiers and horses in front of us, they will not give up the pursuit, otherwise, they will not have this opportunity in the future. ”

"And our army can take advantage of the situation to lure these pursuing enemy troops, fight them as much as possible, and destroy them. If these enemy forces are not easy to deal with, then we only need to entangle them, and then wait for General Gan Ning's Yinglong Water Army to come, and then carry out a counter-encirclement and slowly kill these enemy troops. ”

"Of course, there is another way, that is, when the fire of the front army is burning, the officers and men of the middle army and the rear army can also quickly spread to both sides. In this way, even if there is a southeast wind mixed with fire, the soldiers and horses behind us have already dispersed, and if the enemy's soldiers and horses come to encircle and encircle, because of the spread of our army, we will avoid the encirclement of the enemy army. The battle between the two sides will form a head-to-head showdown, depending on whose naval army is more powerful. ”

After listening to Guo Jia's analysis, Zhao Yu couldn't help but express his approval to Guo Jia, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, what a trapped beast hunting, this general of the three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu really dares to think about it." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yu said again: "Although this enemy army's adviser thinks that he has it, but I and we are not general. This time, let me take a good look at who is really the trapped beast and who is the hunter, and start hunting. ”

"However, judging from Guo Jia's two strategies, I still like the first one. Although it seems that we have to use ourselves as bait, it seems a little dangerous, but I am more satisfied. In my opinion, if we want to defeat the enemy, we must not be too conservative. As the saying goes, if you can't let the child trap the wolf, and if you don't have a little sacrifice and risk, how can you successfully lure those enemy armies into the bait? ”

"Besides, this time the enemy is coming with a heavy fire, as long as we retreat in a hurry. When those fires burned the front army, they began to retreat, and the fires could not burn our warships at all, at most they only burned Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's warships. It depends on which of them can escape, and if they really die in battle, it will be helpless. As for the enemy forces on the left and right, presumably except for Wu, Shu and Wei had no naval armies at all. ”

"With the strength of the Wu army, it is impossible for so many naval troops to encircle and suppress us. It will definitely be the main force of a naval army, responsible for killing. The rest of the soldiers and horses took the warships and intercepted them, and for those irregulars, our soldiers would not be inferior at all. As long as Gan Ning and Ying Long's water army can come to the aid in time, it will be the time for our army to counterattack. ”

"Well, since Your Majesty wants to use this strategy to trap and kill the enemy army, Guo Jia will immediately go down and start arranging." At the moment when he was about to walk out of the military tent, Guo Jia spoke to Zhao Yu again and said, "Your Majesty, there is one thing, Guo Jia thinks that we can make General Gan Ning's Yinglong Water Army change. ”

As soon as Zhao Yu heard this, he knew that Guo Jiayou had other thoughts, and hurriedly said to Guo Jia: "Oh? If Guo Jia has thought of any other clever ideas, you might as well say it bluntly. ”

I only heard Guo Jia speak: "According to the movements of the three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu, the strength of Wu's naval army is also limited, and its own naval army should not exceed 50,000. If you can call it an elite sailor in the calculation, it should only be about 30,000, and for this sailor, our soldiers and soldiers can completely deal with it. The rest of the enemy's forces were mostly infantry from Shu and Wei, and they boarded ships to fight, so Guo Jia felt. It is better to let General Gan Ning's Yinglong Water Army divide the troops into two routes, and be responsible for joining forces with my other sergeants to encircle and suppress the enemy's soldiers and horses. On the other hand, it is responsible for taking advantage of the enemy's soldiers and horses to take the enemy's camp lair when all the troops and horses are dispatched. In this case, those enemy troops who came to charge will inevitably be greatly panicked, entangled in the confusion of whether to continue to kill our army or turn back to the rescue. ”

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Zhao Yu was immediately overjoyed, and immediately said to Guo Jiayan: "If we give this method, presumably those enemy troops are still murderous, and in an instant, they see their lair and may be attacked by enemy warships." It will inevitably be a mess of panic, and both the morale and morale of the army will be greatly reduced. In this way, it will be very beneficial for our army, worthy of Guo Jia, your idea is very good. You can immediately send someone to inform Gan Ning, inform Gan Ning and Jia Xu of your idea, and let the two of them refer to this suggestion and make a decision according to the situation at that time. ”

Immediately, Guo Jia said to Zhao Yu: "Well, if Your Majesty agrees, then Guo Jia can go and arrange it immediately, and Your Majesty can rest at this moment, I'm afraid that tomorrow's war will last for a day and night, and it won't end until dawn the next day." If Your Majesty does not have a good rest, how can he have the physical strength to command the whole army to fight, and even after the war, how to lead the army to capture the enemy's camp. ”
