Chapter 110: Murphy's Law
Transporting grain is a very boring thing, it is completely different from touring the mountains and rivers, you can't walk fast, you can't go slow, you can only move forward at a fixed speed, and even camp anywhere to rest, if the weather is bad and it rains, it is more troublesome. In short, a rather tedious and boring task.
But fortunately, because he can't march in a hurry, he is quite suitable for Guo Jia, a person who can't ride a horse at all. Guo Jia is now in the same state as those grains and grasses, and he is completely transported by others.
In the car, Guo Jia was thinking about the legendary wooden ox and flowing horse, and at the same time complained about the current situation.
Because Guo Jia found out that he was cheated by some things he always took for granted!
For example, in acting, Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass are two different levels, but now here is simply the same place. Of course, it's not a big deal. What really makes Guo Jia care is that Huaxiong's guy is actually stationed outside the Tiger Prison Pass!
It turned out that Huaxiong was camping in the wilderness dozens of miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, that is to say, Guo Jia thought that it would be smooth and smooth, without any dangerous trip, but in the end, he had to get out of the Tiger Prison Pass, through a completely "dark" territory that could be attacked at any time, and wait until the supplies were delivered to the Huaxiong camp, so that the task could be successfully completed.
And Guo Jia not only has to go over, but also come back later, so he will face two rounds of crises.
At the beginning, Guo Jia was still complaining that Huaxiong was stupid, obviously there was such a majestic tiger prison for him to guard, he just wanted to go outside to fight with people in the field, even if your Xiliang army was very strong in the field, how could it be convenient to defend the city!
But Guo Jia then thought about it again, even if Huaxiong is stupid, is Jia Xu who came with him stupid?
Therefore, it was Guo Jia who was wrong, and fundamentally he was wrong.
You must know that now Dong Zhuo represents the imperial court and the Han Dynasty, and the whole world is under Dong Zhuo's control. Then if Dong Zhuo really made an appearance that he couldn't hold out, wouldn't it mean that all areas outside the Kanto region would be ceded to the Eighteenth Route Princes Alliance Army? The area west of Tiger Prison Pass can be said to be not even half of the country, Dong Zhuo's absolute position that he has worked so hard to establish, may he be willing to give up most of it directly?
Guo Jia took it for granted that the Kwantung Alliance Army would attack and Dong Zhuo would defend it, but in fact, it was not clear who would attack and who would defend. The Kwantung Alliance Army wants to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo also wants to exterminate the traitors, so that he can always stabilize his rule.
Therefore, at least at the beginning, before the two sides play a victory or weakness, both sides of the opponent can be called the offensive side!
A few days later, Guo Jia and his entourage's grain transport team arrived at Tiger Pass. As the eastern gateway and important pass of Luoyang, the Tiger Prison Pass was named after King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty who imprisoned the tiger here. It is connected to Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are staggered, which is a natural danger. There is a trend of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", and it is a place for soldiers of all dynasties.
In fact, it is said that it is Xiongguan, in the eyes of people like Guo Jia, who are used to watching blockbusters, it is just like that. Of course, in real life, judging from the attack ability of ancient cold weapons, the Tiger Prison Pass is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Before coming to the pass, he left a part of the grain and grass for the troops guarding the pass, Guo Jia also knew from this front line that until now, the two sides have not been able to fight, and there has not even been a test attack.
However, under the tension, the two sides may fight at any time. Guo Jia even maliciously prayed in his heart, how good it would be if Huaxiong had been cut down at this time, and when the front-line troops retreated to the Tiger Pass, then Guo Jia would not have to send grain and grass out.
It's a pity that now Guo Jia can only think about all this in his heart. Since the two sides have not yet fought, it is entirely possible for Guo Jia to send the grain and grass safely before they fight. So Guo Jia stopped for a while, and then set off again, in order to be able to go early and return early.
Guo Jia's original food delivery team, plus the transfer of 500 more soldiers from the Tiger Prison Pass as escorts, the group headed towards Huaxiong's camp outside the pass.
There is a saying that the more you are afraid, the more worried you are, even if the probability is low, it will always happen! This is the legendary Murphy's Law.
It's really hard to say for sure that kind of luck is such a thing. Some time ago, Guo Jia was so lucky that he exploded; Recently, Guo Jia himself was almost blown up!
Just as the grain transport team was marching to the middle of the Tiger Prison Pass and the Huaxiong camp, an enemy army suddenly rushed out from the horizon and caught Guo Jia and the others by surprise.
Guo Yuan immediately organized men and horses to meet the enemy, but Guo Jia only had time to order two men and two horses, one in front of the other, and the other in front of the horse and whip the horses and whips respectively to the Tiger Prison Pass and the Huaxiong camp to ask for help and move the rescuers. After doing all this, Guo Jia shrank directly under the grain cart, pulled out the seven-star treasure knife, and trembled.
It can also be seen that Guo Jia is indeed inexperienced and not suitable to lead troops alone as a commander.
First of all, Guo Jia did not judge the strength of the enemy soldiers at all, and subconsciously sent people to ask for help, and in order to ensure his own safety, he also asked for help on both sides at the same time. Of course, Guo Jia himself will definitely be able to find a suitable excuse: for example, grain and grass are so important, if they are robbed by the enemy, it will be great; And since the opponent dares to attack, it means that the opponent has the confidence to win, so he needs to ask for help.
But Guo Jia didn't think about it, what if he was just a feint here? What if the enemy took advantage of Huaxiong's rescue and captured the front-line camp? What if the enemy army took advantage of the Tiger Prison Pass to send troops and capture the Tiger Prison Pass? Even if the enemy really captured both sides at the same time, then Guo Jia and the others would be able to be safe for a while even if they could be safe for a while, and they would become sandwich biscuits!
So at this time, Guo Jia should make a preliminary judgment first, and then make a decision on what to do. Especially if the enemy army is very fierce and huge, they will not be able to resist the arrival of reinforcements at all, it is better to abandon the food and run away, so there may be a chance to fight back!
Then, Guo Jia, as the commander, was so frightened that he hid under the grain truck, which made the people next to him think when they saw it? Can there still be any morale in the whole army? And even if you don't talk about morale, if a group of people is suddenly attacked, most soldiers will subconsciously be in a panic and don't know the situation. At this time, it is the time when the commander-in-chief should stabilize the morale of the army and let people not be chaotic. Guo Jia didn't care about anything, and let it be chaotic, which led to the battle that he might have won would eventually lose!
"Kill !!"
The surroundings were full of chaotic slashing sounds, dust and smoke were everywhere, and Guo Jia, who was lying on the ground, couldn't figure out the battle situation outside. However, as long as the sound of slashing and killing does not stop for a moment, Guo Jia will definitely not take the initiative to go out!
"Amitabha, God bless, Allah is above......" Guo Jia recited all the gods and Buddhas in his heart for a while, obviously scared and wanted to close his eyes, but he was too scared to close his eyes, at this moment, Guo Jia's only reason was all on this.
