Chapter 738
However, Guo Yuan led Yuan Shao's order to raise troops from Bingzhou to attack Hedong, and joined forces with the Huns' Nan Shanyu Huchuquan to attack Hedong. Not only that, in private, Guo Yuan also sent envoys to discuss joint anti-Cao with the generals of Guandong, Ma Teng and others. Because of the last incident of wearing a belt edict, they were originally anti-Cao. Now that they have such an opportunity, they naturally agreed to Guo Yuan privately...
These three troops united, and it can be said that the situation on the Western Front battlefield is definitely not optimistic. If Cao Cao didn’t send Guo Jia here this time, he might really lose the Western barrier in the end!
Hedong is very close to Luoyang. Dong Zhuo was in front of others as the prefect of Hedong, so he could successfully occupy the court in the end. Therefore, once Guo Yuan and others took Hedong, the next step would be Luoyang. Moreover, when Hedong is captured, Guo Yuan will continue to break through Tongguan and Hangu Pass, then the west of Luoyang, including Chang'an, will instantly break out of Cao Cao's control. It can be seen that Guo Yuan's strategic thinking is quite clear. Take Hedong first and take Hedong as a stronghold. You can attack and retreat to defend. It is really a place that military strategists must fight for.
Because Guo Yuan's troops were too strong and the strength of the two sides was very different, the current Hedong prefect Wang Yi blocked Guo Yuan's attack. However, Guo Yuan's attack on the cities and counties was unsuccessful, but he already had the style of a famous general.
However, there was still a strong city here. Guo Yuan was unable to capture Jiangyi, which was guarded by Jia Kui. So Guo Yuan called the Xiongnu Nan Shanyu Huchuquan, and the two armies attacked Jiangyi. Guo Yuan knew that Cao Cao's army had come from Xudu, so he must take down Hedong completely before the local reinforcements arrived. Using this as a stronghold, he can gain an advantage.
Jiangyi is just a small place after all. Under the sudden attack of Guo Yuan and Nan Shanyu, Jia Kui was alone and alone. How could he resist it? Seeing that the city was about to be captured, the elders of Jiangyi went on a blind date. In order to avoid being massacred by the enemy after the city was broken, they had to surrender to Guo Yuan and recognize him as the prefect. However, the people only had one condition, that is, they could not kill Jia Kui. It can be seen how loved by Jia Kui is in the local area, and he is definitely a rare good official.
Guo Yuan had heard of Jia Kui's name, and this time he could not capture it for a long time, so he was sure that Jia Kui was indeed a rare talent. Therefore, Guo Yuan naturally agreed to the people's request and planned to accept Jia Kui as his subordinate.
As a result, Guo Yuan asked someone to bring Jia Kui to him. Jia Kui not only did not kneel down to Guo Yuan, but instead said righteously.
"I only know that the prince's mansion is the prefect of this county, but I don't know what the origin is. How can the state officials kowtow to the bandits?!"
Good, who is Guo Yuan? Look at the bandit-like gangster figure who was killed when he followed Guo Jiagang and even Gu’s old man could do it! It is said that changing his own surname is easy to change. Although so many years have passed, Guo Yuan has become much more stable after getting married and having children, how can the surname in his bones be easily changed? Guo Yuan was so angry that he couldn’t do anything!
This guy Jia Kui was shameless and wanted to accept him as his subordinate, and he was promoted and made money with him, and he was so popular that he drank spicy food. As a result, this guy not only did not kneel down to himself, but also scolded him. Since such a person is stubborn, it would be better to drag him out and chop him up!
As a result, after hearing the news that Guo Yuan was about to kill Jia Kui, the officials and civilians in Jiangyi ran to the city and shouted,
"If you kill our virtuous Lord Jia who violates the agreement, then we would rather die with him!"
The people on Guo Yuan's side were also deeply moved by Jia Kui's integrity and asked for his appointments. The public opinion should not be disobeyed. When he occupied Jiangyi just now, Guo Yuan did not want to cause any trouble for such a thing. However, he had to pardon Jia Kui.
However, even if the pardon is pardoned, it does not mean that Guo Yuan will really let Jia Kui go like this. Guo Yuan is very similar to Guo Jia in some aspects. He will revenge his grudges. If others are so disrespectful, he will never touch his cold butt. Even if he knows that the other party is a talent, what if he knows that the other party is a talent? Look at Chen Qun back then, Guo Jiaxing rushed to take someone as his younger brother, but in a disagreement, he started fighting directly.
The same is true now. Guo Yuan ran to take Jia Kui as his younger brother, but he had to kill someone if he had a disagreement! Since he couldn't kill him now, Guo Yuan imprisoned Jia Kui in Huguan, placed him in a crypt, covered the entrance of the cellar with a wheel, and sent someone to guard him, preparing to kill him at the appropriate time.
Jia Kui was a very honest and tough man, and he told the guards directly that,
"Is there no backbone here who dares to take action? Should the righteous man die in this crypt?"
There was a knight at that time who was not close to Jia Kui, but after hearing these words from Jia Kui, he admired him for being in danger and still being able to stick to his integrity. So he secretly released Jia Kui at night, but helped him remove the shackles and sent him to escape. Jia Kui was grateful and asked for his name, but the other party insisted on telling him.
It was not until the end of the month that Guo Yuan was defeated that Jia Kui realized that the hero who saved him was originally named Lei Feng, ah, it was called Zhu Gongdao. This is also a famous chivalrous story in history. Unfortunately, Guo Yuan was not the protagonist, but the villain.
After Jia Kui fled, he delayed Guo Yuan for seven days with a plan, successfully stabilized the dangerous terrain, and was a small military strategist in the small military strategist land. He insisted on Guo Jia's reinforcements, so that the entire county did not completely fall.
In this way, Guo Yuan led the prefect of Hedong and stationed his troops in Hedong. After helping Guo Yuan capture Jiangyi, Huchuquan returned to Pingyang to guard the situation. Ma Teng continued to stay in the west, with three troops standing with three legs, supporting and taking care of each other, and fighting against Guo Jia who led his troops. This also shows that these people attached importance to Guo Jia. The name of Guo Jia alone had to make them cautious. They were obviously the attacking side, but after Guo Jia arrived, they were standing there one by one, posing as a defensive posture, which was obviously shocked by Guo Jia's reputation.
As soon as Guo Jia arrived, he led his troops to station in Dayang, and Dayang was close to Hedong. Guo Jia obviously came directly towards Guo Yuan.
However, Dayang is not a big city, and it is so close to the enemy. In addition, Guo Yuan has a total of three troops, with a large number of people. The overall strength is definitely a strong side. Will Guo Jia be too risky when he comes to others?
