【Chapter 754】 Iron-Blooded Overlord
Speaking of this, Guo Jia smiled indifferently with a relaxed expression and said, "What's more, if Lu Bu can't stay in Yanzhou, he can still go to Jingzhou and Yangzhou and other areas along the river." The land of the Han Dynasty is vast, so there is no place for him.
What's more, when he is exhausted, he may not be able to take it under the command of the lord and use it for the lord's use. I don't know what happens under the Lord's will? ”
"Surrender Lu Bu?" Li Li shook his head in astonishment: "Feng Xiao really dares to think about it, isn't it a joke?" ”
Guo Jia restrained his smile when he heard this, and said solemnly: "In front of the lord, Jiayan dares to joke? What's more, it's just Lu Bu, what's so difficult to collect it? ”
"In this way, Fengxiao is not a lie, isn't there a good plan?" Li Li said suspiciously in surprise.
Guo Jia nodded when he heard this: "Whether it is a good policy or not, it is too early to say, and it will be clear after it is confirmed." ”
As he spoke, he paused, leaned forward and leaned closer to Li Li's ear, whispering.
In an instant, Guo Jia sat up straight and said with a smile: "This is a strategy that Jia has been thinking about for a long time, I don't know if the lord thinks it is feasible?" ”
Li Li's brows moved slightly, a solemn look crossed his eyes, and while thinking, he muttered: "It's true that Fengxiao said, it's not feasible, it's still too early to say." You can give it a try, and you'll know for sure. However, Feng Xiaoke ever thought that Lu Bu was a white-eyed wolf that could not be raised, and if he was not careful, he would repeat the mistakes of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo? ”
Guo Jia nodded lightly, pondered and said, "What the lord said is extremely true. However, Weichen once heard the lord say that no matter how cunning the fox is, he can't fight a good hunter. I wonder if the lord still remembers this sentence? By extension, it is. No matter how unruly a fierce horse is, it cannot escape the palm of a good rider. I wonder if the Lord thinks so? ”
"Hehehe! Feng Xiao is deliberately provoking me, but it's also very interesting. I like challenging things, though. And never afraid of challenges, so far, has not tasted defeat! Li Lilang laughed.
Guo Jiaxin smiled: "In this case, Weichen agreed as the lord." I don't know if it's possible? ”
"Yes, I'll wait and see, and I'll see how Feng Xiao does it. Hehehe! Li Li said with a smile.
Seeing this, Guo Jia smiled. After raising his eyes and looking at the camp of the Montenegrin Army on the left flank of the Allied Army, he said thoughtfully: "This Zhang Yan is very strange, why did he let the left arm of the Black Mountain Army soldiers tie white silk. Could it be something else? ”
After finishing speaking, Guo Jia looked at Li Li with burning eyes, and there was a smile on his face that seemed to be realized.
"Since Bonghyo has already guessed, why do you knowingly ask?" Li Li smiled indifferently.
"The Lord forgives sins. Jia is just guessing. It can't be true. This time, I came to ask the lord for confirmation, and asked the lord to make it clear. ”
"As Feng Xiao thought, this leader of the Montenegrin Army, Zhang Yan, is a person who understands current affairs, is good at judging the situation, and has a lot of knowledge."
Guo Jia was shocked when he heard this, and said happily: "In this way, our army has another boost, and the odds of winning have increased by two percent!" ”
"It's a solid credit." Li Li bowed slightly: "In his early years, he had a great friendship with Sun Qing, the second leader under Zhang Yan, and Wang Dang, the third leader. He also worshipped as brothers with different surnames and swore to live and die together. Just a few years down. They have different encounters with each other, and their identities are not the same, and they gradually become estranged. Last year, when I met Zhenggu by chance, he was included in the Xiliang Army, and then he went to the villages of Montenegro with a lot of money, and of course, it was indispensable to show off in front of the leaders of the Montenegrin Army. Since then, Teng Xiao ordered him to go to Montenegro every two months, and he walked around more, and he got along with a group of Montenegrin leaders and had a very close personal relationship.
When Zhang Yan led his troops to join the alliance a few days ago, I ordered Zheng Gu to bring Zhang Yan a secret letter of surrender, and promised some Montenegrin army leaders the benefits they were eager to get but could not get. Since then, it is natural that Zhang Yan decided to lead his troops to serve me three days ago. That's the way it is, at this time, what they tied to their arms was not white silk, but white hemp, and only the leader had white silk, after all, the Black Mountain Army didn't have so much white silk to distribute to all the soldiers. ”
"Oh, I see." Guo Jia nodded happily, and looked at Li Li curiously: "It turned out that it was the Gugu who persuaded the Black Mountain Army to surrender, which was greatly beyond my expectations, it seems that the lord began to lay out as early as when he traveled to Jizhou, and now it is indeed time to harvest." However, it is also extremely rare to persuade Zhang Yan to defect, which is a huge credit, so that he can worship the marquis. ”
"What Feng Xiao said is good. Although he came from a humble background, and his martial arts and art of war were not enough to be in charge alone, this person was extremely affectionate and well-led, and he was not a good general. Therefore, after this battle, I will appoint him as a guerrilla general, give him the marquis of Seki, and stay in Sanfu as a guard general. Li Li said with a smile.
Guo Jia said with a smile on his face: "The lord is wise, and the ministers are admired. It is said that the Montenegrin army has a million people, including more than 100,000 foot riders, and hundreds of thousands of women and children's families. If the rumors are true, it means that the population in my Xiliang jurisdiction will increase by one million, which is a huge fortune! ”
"It's just a million, but it's not that much." Li Li shook his head slightly, and said disapprerovingly: "In these years, many numbers are false, more than two or three hundred thousand people dare to claim to be one million, just like the princes and allies in front of them, isn't it also known as a million army of three or four hundred thousand horses?" Therefore, in my opinion, the Montenegrin army, which claims to be a million people, should not exceed 300,000 people. It is worth mentioning that they do have more than 100,000 paces, which has also been mentioned; It's just that the more than 100,000 Black Mountain troops are counting all the men and young men, after all, they are all bandits who gather in the mountains and forests, as long as they are slightly older men, they are soldiers. ”
"Yellow turban thieves are like this, Jia has long been used to it." Guo Jia echoed.
After speaking, he seemed to want to say something, but he had scruples, and opened his mouth again and again, but in the end he still didn't say it.
Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Li Li smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Does Feng Xiao want to ask, why don't the officers and soldiers of our army know about Zhang Yan leading his troops to serve?" Especially the white silk on their left arm, our army has no way of knowing about it, so it is useless for them to tie the white silk or not? ”
"Exactly." Guo Jia responded: "Since the Black Mountain Army has been surrendered to the lord, why hasn't the lord ordered the officers and men of our army to identify Bai Aya, so as not to injure them by mistake?" ”
"No, because Zhang Yan delayed for nine months after seeing my letter of surrender, and she didn't make up her mind until three days ago. So, to be honest, I don't trust him, just as he doesn't trust me. ”
Speaking of this, Li Li looked at the soldiers of the Long Xiang Battalion who had already rushed into the battle formation on the right flank of the Allied forces, and muttered: "Trust is based on the common goals and common intentions of both sides, not unilateral trust.
Since Zhang Yan had been hesitant and didn't make up his mind until he burned his eyebrows, then he needed to show enough sincerity and prove that the Montenegrin army was strong. Only in this way can he make up for his previous mistakes and re-establish a relationship of trust. Otherwise, what's the use of me recruiting the Montenegrin Army? Do you really think that all the prefectures and counties in Xiliang under my Li Li will not refuse?
Today, the scourge of war continues, millions of Lebanese people are displaced, lonely, and many people are dying of freezing and starvation. Instead of recruiting a group of robbers and grass robbers who have been in trouble for many years, it is better to take in more displaced people and fleeing people. Take 10,000 steps back and say, after Zhang Yan received my letter of surrender, she prevaricated in every possible way, delaying for nine months, and now I, Li Li, must I immediately express my position after receiving his letter of surrender, and delaying for four or five days is not too much, right?
Therefore, in this decisive battle, the Montenegrin army must pay the price for what it has done before, and it must charge forward as a vanguard until the end of the war. Otherwise, I will destroy them with me, and save me a waste of food!" ”
"Ugh! This??? What the lord said was very true. Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, and his heart was shaken, because this was the first time he had seen the ruthless side of his lord Li Li.
Prior to this, Guo Jia's impression of Li Li had always been a generous, open-minded and enlightened monarch like the sea, and he had never seen Li Li so ruthless in his way of doing things. This made Guo Jia wonder how Li Li came to such a hegemonic position today, since ancient times, how could there have been a generous and benevolent king who could achieve hegemony?
Since ancient times, all of them have been iron-blooded and ruthless heroes, who can be graceful, violent and cruel, and even cunning and suspicious and capricious, but they can only be indecisive and soft-hearted. If the king has the kindness of a woman in his heart, and shows mercy and forgiveness everywhere, it is undoubtedly a sign of self-destruction, and sooner or later he will be replaced by someone else, and he will be reduced to a wronged death.
At this moment, Guo Jia finally saw the means of the iron-blooded overlord of the lord Li Li, and decided the life and death of hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain tribesmen in a single thought, and without hesitation, every word was heard. If you want to achieve great things, it should be like this, and the ancient emperors are all like this.
However, in addition to being relieved, Guo Jia felt a little afraid, because he had always been outspoken in front of Li Li, and even taught Li Li the way of the emperor in a conclusive manner.
The funny thing is that it was not until this moment that Guo Jia suddenly discovered that the lord Li Li was well versed in the emperor's mental skills, and his words and deeds had deep meanings. Many of Li Li's casual layouts and measures are far-reaching, silent, and have no trajectory to follow, only when the facts are presented in front of him, everything is logical; Only by careful observation and speculation can we find the clues of scales and claws. Such meticulous and meticulous scheming, dripping and leaky means of doing things, and bottomless hearts and cities, are far-sighted, unpredictable, and unpredictable, making people unable to figure it out.
