Chapter 40: The blink of an eye can be destroyed

When the two armies fight, the fighting spirit is very important.

If you have fighting spirit, you will be fearless in the face of thousands of troops.

If you have no fighting spirit, you will beg for mercy when facing the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao joined more than 200,000 troops to fight Guanzhong. How Guo Jia responded is secondly. First of all, he must make clear his attitude and be united in the top and bottom of the army to use his life.

If you want to withdraw, you might as well go back to your house and return to Yizhou immediately.

If you want to defend or attack, it depends on the situation. Should you act according to the opportunity or fight to the end?

"Does anyone want to persuade me to return to Chengdu to preserve my strength?"

Guo Jia asked lightly in the main position.

Everyone in the hall was silent.

There are 80,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, and more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang. Although there are 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou, that is Guo Jia's foundation. Can you use it to fight to the death?

Besides, it will affect the whole body by one move. There are more than 180,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou and Guanzhong. But can Guo Jia mobilize all these soldiers and horses to Guanzhong to fight against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao?

On the side of the military general, Gan Ning closed his eyes, as if he had nothing to do with him.

If you want to fight, fight.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao.

I can't wait to see it for a while.

Xu Chu and Dian Wei held their heads and chests with their eyes raised, their eyes were like copper bells, and they stared at Guo Jia with bright eyes, as if they were about to return to the camp immediately after he ordered the troops to enter Luoyang.

Gao Shun always looked indifferent. At this moment, the long-lost fighting intention was slowly brewing in his heart.

If all the generals were afraid before fighting, Guo Jia would not win even if he wanted to fight.

A general succeeds and has thousands of bones woven, and has a bloody battle on the battlefield, killing generals and killing enemies is the way for military generals to achieve success and fame.

The three strategists lacked the passion of the generals for war. Their rationality drove them to analyze the situation, analyze the pros and cons, and then make judgments.

They have a very unified opinion on whether to fight or not.

Xu Shu said lightly: "Guanzhong, you cannot give it to others."

Fa Zheng also said one after another: "Now the people from all directions have returned to Guanzhong and strive to live and work in peace and contentment. The officials promoted to the imperial examination last year have also taken office. The Yizhou Business Association has established a foundation in Chang'an. If Guanzhong is lost, the lord will not only be the territory, but the lord has no way out at this moment, and can only ensure that Guanzhong is not lost."

This spring is a critical period.

If the returning people know that there is a great enemy, they will inevitably be panic and want to escape again.

As the people at the bottom of society, they will only support the rulers who treat them well. Whether Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can be more friendly to the people than Guo Jia and implement a policy of light taxes and low taxes, they don’t know. If Guo Jia cannot defend Guanzhong, and then Yuan Shao or Cao Cao will treat the people well after occupying Guanzhong, then Guo Jia will lose the support of the people. On the contrary, if Yuan Shao or Cao Cao cannot treat the people well, then the people will be disappointed with Guo Jia.

For Guo Jia, as long as he loses Guanzhong, he will lose the hearts of the people of Guanzhong.

Not to mention that it is difficult to resettle officials from all over Guanzhong who have just taken office as a member of the Yizhou family who came to Guanzhong to develop their family business with a large amount of materials, money and grain.

The gains and losses of war are not only military, but also local, but also people's hearts.

Guanzhong cannot be lost, this is an analysis of pros and cons.

But how to fight the war still needs to be discussed.

Pang Tong, who spoke in the end, spoke with clarity, crispness and firmness.

"Yuan Shao and Cao Cao marched into Luoyang, with no less than 200,000 troops, of which Yuan Shao had the most, at least 150,000 troops. Because Cao Cao could not bring more than 50,000 troops to attack Guanzhong. In this case, these 200,000 troops were not afraid. Yuan Shao's army came to Luoyang thousands of miles away, and with many years of war with Gongsun Zan, the soldiers were exhausted and the combat power was removed at least 20%. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were in a relationship, but in fact they were able to work together, so the two families could not work together, and the combat power would not rise but decline, and then they would go 20%. Guanzhong had a Xiongguan Guard, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were attacking, without taking advantage of the land, and the combat power would still go 20%. As for Guanzhong, from officials and people to the people, all the support of the lord to govern Guanzhong, the strength of our army would increase sharply. From this point of view, these 200,000 enemy troops could be destroyed by a blink of an eye."

What a sentence, "It can be destroyed by a snap of your fingers"

The civil and military officials in the hall were slightly shocked.

What was shocked was Pang Tong's arrogant words, but he was also very righteous.

Pang Tong's face remained unchanged and remained firm.

He must be forgiven for seemingly arrogant and demoted Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to vulnerable small characters.

As a strategist, it is difficult to get promoted if you are just a good person.

If you want to win the favor of the master, sometimes you have to speak without shocking words.

A strategist who is incompetent can only exaggerate and make a name out of nothing.

A capable strategist will always show his extraordinary talents at critical moments and then make a splash.

Guo Jia, who was sitting in the main seat, smiled with relief.

At least there are no surrender factions among the civil and military officials he regards as his confidant.

The situation has been analyzed clearly and thoroughly.

Guanzhong cannot be lost, and Guo Jia cannot retreat without fighting.

Since that's the case, what Guo Jia has to do now is to issue military orders and prepare for the battle.

With a calm expression, Guo Jia looked solemn.

"Xu Shu, immediately issue documents to the officials of Hongnong County, asking them to bring the people under their rule to Chang'an for temporary refuge. As long as they have an in-law household registration in the county, they can get living security."

"Fa Zheng, I will report to Zhang Liao to the urgent report, so that he can hold on to Hangu Pass. Although he has the power to adapt to the situation, he must ensure that Hangu Pass will not lose. In addition, I will report to Yan Yanfa of Wu Pass, so that he can strengthen his investigation into the enemy situation in the east. Like Zhang Liao, Wu Pass cannot make mistakes. Finally, I will give Wu Ban of Fufeng an order. If Ma Teng and Han Sui dare to take advantage of the situation, he has the right to make decisions at the moment. As long as he has courage and ability, even if he enters Liangzhou, I will reward him."

"Pang Tong, send a message to Chengdu with a flying pigeon, so that Chengdu can always pay attention to the movements in southern Yizhou and Jingzhou. Humph, Liu Biao must not give me the reason to attack Jingzhou. The generals will return to the camp to reorganize the army and prepare for war. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will at least not rush to fight without saying a word. I want to see what name they use to attack me."

Guo Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief after giving the order, and at the same time his eyes became sharp, his fists were clenched, and a sneer appeared on his face.

Yuan Benchu, Cao Mengde.

Actually, I have been waiting for this day for a long time.

Although it was obvious that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were invading Luoyang, they were the enemy in front of Guo Jia.

But how many enemies will be there in the dark?

Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Suima Teng in the northwest, and even the barbarians who had not yet surrendered to the south of Yizhou.

If you don't beware of them, you will definitely regret it one day.

Guo Jia didn't know whether Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would secretly incite these forces, and put themselves in their shoes. If Guo Jia had the advantage of Cao Cao's order to decree the emperor, he would definitely incite the surrounding forces to attack together.

Chengdu, Yizhou Prefecture

Now the official office of Yizhou Prefecture is no longer in Guo Jia's mansion. The magnificent palace built by Liu Yan, which was built in a magnificent place like a palace, has been renamed several times, and has also changed from the General's Mansion to the Provincial Mansion in Guo Jia, and finally the Guo Mansion.

After all, there is Guo Jia's family living in the backyard there, and there are always something wrong with officials working in the front hall lobby, so another office building is deliberately built in Chengdu.

Xi Zhicai, who works in Yizhou Prefecture, wore a windbreaker. Although winter and spring have come, he is still keeping warm recently because of his discomfort.

A burst of footsteps came, and Xi Zhicai looked up and saw Zhen Yao walking towards him with a serious expression.

After Zhen Yao entered the hall, he didn't say much, and he saved all the red tape and handed the letter in his hand to Xi Zhicai.

After taking it, Xi Zhicai opened the reading, and his expression became solemn.

“When did this get the news?”

Zhen Yao replied: "Just now."

This is a message sent from a letter sent from Chang'an Feige.

Fei Ge passed on letters as early as the Chu-Han war, but this kind of way of conveying information was developed and popularized in the Tang Dynasty.

Perhaps some horses can fly faster than birds, but horses always have to bypass mountains and wade through rivers.

The sky is unblocked, and the efficiency of flying pigeons in passing letters is undoubtedly much higher than that of sending letters by people.

However, raising carrier pigeons is extremely difficult, and laymen cannot figure out the trick. If you want to learn this skill, you will not be able to achieve success every day.

After Guo Jia took over Yizhou, he recruited talented people from all sides, and there were indeed people who were hiding birds and animals, so Guo Jia issued the task of raising carrier pigeons.

After so many years, this project has been somewhat effective. Now it can only be used in exchanges between Chang'an and Chengdu, or when sending messages carefully, a carrier pigeon is released.

This is all risky.

And there are limitations. The flying pigeon’s letter is to use the instinct of the pigeon’s return to the nest, rather than looking for directions to go to a destination.

Just like, Guo Jia sent a message to Chengdu with a carrier pigeon. If Xi Zhicai wanted to reply to Guo Jia, he could not use the same carrier pigeon, but could only exchange for a carrier pigeon with a nest in Chang'an.

Of course, for example, for example, the transmission of information within the territorial area is fast, but not safe, so the two-pronged approach is to send people out. If the carrier pigeon arrives first, the efficiency will be improved. If the carrier pigeon is missing, the manpower can make up for it.

Xi Zhicai paced back and forth in the hall, falling into deep thought.

Everyone knows in their hearts that as soon as this spring passes, Guo Jia will have the foundation for the people of Guanzhong. After the autumn harvest, Guo Jia can gradually recruit troops to expand his power.

So Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had a good chance of seizing it.

Or they did have the intention to attack Guo Jia instead of bluffing.

"Let's watch the changes first. The war in Guanzhong will be left to the lord to deal with it. We must ensure that there will be no mistakes in Yizhou. If there is any change in Yizhou, Guanzhong will definitely lose."

Xi Zhicai said seriously, and Zhen Yao agreed deeply.

When fighting, it is most taboo to be attacked from both sides. If you are unable to care about the beginning and end, you will inevitably lose your troops.

"Ahem..."

Zhen Yao, who had just turned around, heard the sharp coughing sound of Xi Zhicai behind him, stopped, turned to face Xi Zhicai, and said with concern with concern: "Brother Zhicai, you should go home to recuperate. All winter, your condition will be getting better and worse. If you drag it like this, you will definitely become a serious disease."

After finally calming down the breath of asthma and cough in his lower chest, Xi Zhi squeezed out a smile and said with a forced smile: "Haha, my lord said that the disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes like a thread. My disease is slowly getting better, and it will be cured in a few days."

"You...ah..."

Zhen Yao knew that no matter how hard he was, he would not persuade Xi Zhicai, so he turned around and left.
