Chapter 599: Ming'er supports you
In fact, Guo Jia can directly rule out the first two possibilities. It's not that Cao Cao won't come to save him now, or he won't give him support for grain and grass. But if that were the case, there would be no need for that. Speak directly to the people below,
"Our reinforcements will be here in a few days, everyone hold on!"
"Wow!" Morale is high.
"Our grain and grass will arrive in a few days, so tighten your belts and hold on!"
"Wow!" Again, morale will not drop.
Under normal circumstances, this would be the case, and since nothing was said, it would not be like that. It doesn't make sense that your grain and grass will come in a few days, and you are deliberately deceiving people to provoke resentment. If you say it directly, everyone can understand it, even if you still have grievances, the effect is much better. Therefore, there is only the third possibility, and that is that there is a situation on the enemy's side.
Could it be that the enemy's food and grass can't hold on? Moreover, the situation is no different from Cao Jun's side. Originally, Cao's army could only hold out for five days, and the enemy could only hold out for five days, but Cao Cao used this method to squeeze out three more days, and then used these three days to break through the city.
Perhaps, this kind of dramatic situation does exist, but when I was fighting Xuzhou, I actually faced a similar choice, if there is really no food on both sides in the end, then no matter who wins and who loses, what will everyone eat? Cao Jun finally entered the city, but there was no food in the city, so did he starve to death in vain? Or just after the fight was reluctantly retreated?
Not to mention that Cao Cao's "originally" won the battle smoothly in the end, and there are not so many other problems, let's just say that Yuan Shu is actually not short of food now. There should not be the kind of dilemma that I imagined.
In this way, Guo Jia can only think of two possibilities. First. There is Neiying to help, but Neiying needs time. So I had to delay these few days to let Neiying prepare, and a few days later, Neiying was ready, and the city was easily and smoothly attacked. Second, now that there is indeed a shortage of food in the other party's city, but grain is being transported from behind, Cao Cao got the exact news and calculated the time. Loot the grain first and then attack the city, or capture the city, and then cheat the grain and grass, of course, the latter, the risk is too great, what if you fail to cheat? And the pressure of a direct siege is also great, and it is absolutely undesirable.
Therefore, there are only two key points in front of Guo Jia's eyes now: there is an internal response. There is grain and grass to be delivered.
And both of these scenarios, as it stands, are very likely. First of all, there is Neiying, Xuzhou. Even Lu Bu can plot against Han Xian and Yang Feng, is it impossible for Guo Jia to plot against a small person? Yuan Shu was not very popular, and now Yuan Shu has returned from a defeat in Xuzhou. Under the new defeat, his subordinates had even less confidence in Yuan Shu. Coupled with Cao Cao's great power, it is definitely not an impossible situation to plot against a few people.
Merely. Since Cao Cao was fooled in Puyang last time, Guo Jia didn't think that Cao Cao would be so unprepared. You must know that Cao Cao's procrastinating behavior has forced himself to the bottom line, and he is simply a shipwreck, fighting against the water, and has to go to Liangshan. If this is really the enemy's ploy, wouldn't it be too dangerous.
It's like the future surrender of Chen Deng's father and son, and now Cao Cao will not let Chen Deng secretly help open the city gate, but let them prevent Lu Bu from returning to the city. Therefore, here, Cao Cao will definitely not risk pushing himself into a desperate situation because of this possibility. Unless that person who should be Cao Cao's absolute trust is still about the same, but does that kind of person still exist today?
So, after thinking about it, there is only one last possibility left - the enemy city is also short of food, and the grain and grass are on the way.
Well, Guo Jia also knows that his whimsical method of exclusion and inference is quite unreliable. Regardless of the changeable battlefield, there are various reasons that determine the success or failure of the victory, even if the reason for Cao Cao's victory "at the beginning" was really guessed correctly by Guo Jia, can it be proved that it is exactly the same as "back then"?!
Therefore, if Guo Jiazhen plans to make a plan based on this, it will be as crazy as gambling, and it is a big gamble!
Under normal circumstances, the winner is king, and the loser is the loser. And once Guo Jia continues to do this, the winner will become a god, and the loser will be a turtle directly!
So, to do or not to do? To bet or not to bet? To-Be-Or-Not-To-Be,That-Is-A-Question!
"That, young master, does my reply really make you so embarrassed?" Ming'er finally couldn't help but said in a tangled way. How long has it been since Ming'er said the kidnapping of idols, how long has it been since Guo Jia reacted? Looking at Guo Jiana's tangled appearance, Ming'er couldn't help but pinch her heart.
Could it be that her Ming'er charm is really so great, and Guo Jia has to make such a big determination to refuse? It's impossible, if that's the case, then Guo Jia should have done it a long time ago. Therefore, Guo Jia's desire is too strong now, so strong that he is "hungry and does not choose to eat", has he reached the age of the legendary wolf-like tiger?
Guo Jia came back to his senses, immediately shook his head and said,
"No, no, it's not difficult at all. In fact, I've almost figured it out by now, and I'm about to make such a decision. ”
Ming'er's eyelids jumped when she heard this, she thought about it for so long, and she only "almost" figured it out, and it seemed that she hadn't been able to make a decision at all, as if it really took a lot of determination to make such a decision, Guo Jia was really hungry and thirsty?!
Ming'er hesitated for a while, and finally gritted her teeth, as a little maid, she has been taken care of by Guo Jia for so many years, and Guo Jia has not regarded her as an ordinary woman at all, daring to hand over some political affairs to her for her to deal with, and now she dares to take such a little girl to the battlefield in the face of the world's disapproval. Guo Jia has done so much for her, what is it for her to do this for Guo Jia tomorrow?
Oh, yes! She only thought about letting Guo Jia take care of her feelings, and only thought about asking Guo Jia for it constantly, why didn't she think about repaying Guo Jia, why didn't she think about her efforts without asking for anything in return? If people only care about their own happiness, as long as they like it, they will do it, and if they don't like it, then there will be good people in the world? Isn't it usually self-sacrificing to do good deeds?!
Ming'er has always wanted to help Guo Jia in big things, but in fact, it was Guo Jia who was helping her Ming'er realize her dream. This is a mutually beneficial thing, and there is no question of who helps whom. In other words, only this kind of thing can be regarded as a real reward for Guo Jia!
Guo Jia would never have imagined at this time that just when he was about to make a huge decision, Ming'er next to him was also deciding on one thing, and his consciousness was not smaller than Guo Jia, or even greater than Guo Jia!
"Young Master, if you want to do it, then do it! Ming'er, support you! Ming'er finally mustered up the courage and said to Guo Jia.
"Really?!" Guo Jia's eyes lit up, sometimes, when he couldn't make up his mind, it was really much easier to let others help decide. (To be continued......)
