Chapter 73

To the east hit the west

Going down the river, Guo Jia, who led the fleet, made a smooth journey. He arrived in Zigui within two days. Here, there were a large number of ships abandoned when Guo Ye passed by, and took them together, and continued to go down the river.

Half a day later, Guo Jia's voyage was only 10,000 people, and he came to Yidu County with a warship that covered almost a few miles.

On land, the Taiping Army battalion was hundreds of miles away, and there were only two days left before the vanguard Wei Yan led his army into the Qiting Pavilion. However, Guo Jia caught up with the tail of the Taiping Army's ground troops at this time.

In the evening, the trees on the shore were swaying. Jia Xu stood by the river, looking at the dense warships slowly coming from under the sky, and smiled knowingly.

Deng Zhi, who was called out by Jia Xu from the camp site on the other side of the forest, was shocked. He looked at the endless warship and said in surprise: "Who is this on the ship?"

Jia Xu asked him meaningfully.

"The general can guess."

Deng Zhi immediately gave Jia Xu a blank look. What a fool to guess.

It was Guo Ye’s order to abandon the warship in Zigui. If Guo Ye’s order can be overturned, is it still worth guessing? It must be Guo Jia.

Deng Zhi just didn't expect who was in charge of the warship. It was Gao Shun, Zhang Yan, and Xu Chu?

Thinking of the past, Deng Zhi was full of doubts and asked Jia Xu: "Military advisor, is it because the prince is acting inappropriately, or is it because the lord deliberately did it?"

When Jia Xu heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. Like Guo Jia, he didn't like to talk to Mu Yu's head, but the generals who liked to think were all happy.

"The prince obeys the lord."

After Jia Xu's guidance, Deng Zhi suddenly realized and blurted out: "That lord is going to confuse Jiangdong."

Jia Xu nodded with relief and said softly: "That's true."

The warship was docked, and the first person to land was Meng Huo. He led the 10,000 Wudang Flying Army to Badong and followed Guo Jia to fight. He was also the only troops that Guo Jia could draw now.

The person following Meng Huo was Pang Tong. The two led the soldiers to quietly land. Meng Huo did not understand the etiquette of officialdom, which was quite pragmatic, so when he saw Jia Xu and Deng Zhi, he bowed and then asked Pang Tong to announce Guo Jia's military order.

Of course, Pang Tong would not be as stubborn as Meng Huo. He smiled and bowed to Jia Xu and Deng Zhi, "Thank you for your hard work, both of you."

Deng Zhi quickly politely and humbly said a few words. However, Jia Xu stared at Pang Tong with an unfathomable smile and asked, "Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, why didn't Shi Yuan seize the opportunity?"

Pang Tong laughed out loud, came back to his senses and shook his head and said bitterly: "The lord refused to change his mind, so what can I do?"

Jia Xu looked up at the night sky, sighed and stopped talking.

Pang Tong felt emotion in his heart, but quickly picked up the regret and immediately turned his head to Deng Zhisu and said, "General, the lord has an order to lead the rear army on the ship, so there must be no mistakes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Zhi frowned and said, "It will take two or three days to travel through the mountains and forests, and it will be difficult for the whole army to board the ship."

The military camp stationed by the Taiping Army was on the other side of the forest. In Deng Zhi's view, it was quite difficult to bring all 50,000 troops onto the ship.

But Pang Tong was obviously not surprised and explained to Deng Zhi: "General Meng will assist the general, so it's not time to go and do it now. Oh, there is another thing. When the general led his army to leave, he left the camp and patrolled hundreds of soldiers."

"Empty camp?"

Deng Zhi asked in surprise, and then after thinking about it, he immediately understood.

Mountains and forests are a big problem for ordinary soldiers. It takes a long time to open up mountain roads for tens of thousands of troops to cross them. However, for Wudang Feijun, facing dangerous mountains and rivers is common. The mountains and forests on this shore can be as if they are walking on flat ground. With their assistance, the soldiers at the tail of the Taiping Army’s three armies only took one night to cross the mountains and forests to the shore, boarded the ship and continued down the river.

From the outside, there was no abnormality in the camp. Some soldiers patrolled step by step. If they did not enter the camp or notice the subtleties, it would be difficult to find that the camp to the west of the Taiping Army was already an empty camp.

The fleet continued to move forward, and he was sitting with Jia Xu in the Longtou ship where Guo Jia was sitting and playing games, while Pang Tong was accompanying him, which was a little bored.

"Can Wenhe hold on to this military hard work?"

Guo Jia looked at the chessboard and asked softly.

Jia Xu, who is over 60 years old, letting him go to war with the army, even if he rides a horse, it will definitely be a torture.

Just before Jia Xu could speak, Pang Tong interrupted: "Mr. Wenhe is pure in his heart and has few desires, and he has his own experience in cultivating one's own nature. His body is stronger than that of young people. Even if the lord lets him go to the army ten years later, there will definitely be no problem."

Guo Jia, who was holding Bai Zi, was slightly stunned, raised his head and looked at Pang Tong. Seeing him looking at him, his expression was a little innocent, but full of expectation.

With a smile, Guo Jia said, "Shi Yuan, you have something to say. Don't think about anything else, there is a big battle waiting in front of you."

Pang Tong scratched his head and looked at Jia Xu inadvertently. The two of them exchanged their eyes, showing a little helplessness.

Zi fell into the chessboard, Guo Jiaran said: "Yan Pu Fei Ge sent a letter, Cao Pi sent Sima Yi to Luoyang. What do you two think?"

Jia Xu didn't speak and focused on playing chess. Pang Tong was very interested in Sima Yi, or Pang Tong would pay attention to the person who could make Guo Jia pay attention to it. There was a Sima Yi in Cao Wei and a Lu Xun in Jiangdong. They were all people who Guo Jia once said, and it was impossible to praise him, but it was just to let everyone pay attention to it.

Since Sima Yi became an official, he truly entered the sight of outsiders after Cao Cao's death. His most eye-catching purpose was to participate in all the important matters of military and political aspects from Cao Pi's stability to the ascension of the throne. Although his official position has not reached a prominent level, he has become an important figure in the center of confidentiality.

With Sima Yi's age, it can be said that he rose to the speed of a comet in the officialdom of Cao Wei. Compared with his brother Sima Lang, who had been in office earlier, Sima Yi can be said to have risen to the top. To achieve such a success, it is impossible for Sima Yi to have extraordinary talents alone, but Pang Tong can't say anything about it.

Cao Wei’s confidential discussions were all secrets. At most, outsiders knew that Cao Pi valued Sima Yi, and they would discuss all important military and political matters with him. However, outsiders had no way to know the specific content, so they also asked Guo Jia to discuss matters. There were so many advisers under them, so outsiders could only guess what they talked about.

"Shi Yuan stopped thinking about it. It was not a good sign to see your sad face. I heard from someone that Sima Yi looked like a wolf."

Black and white intertwined, vertical and horizontal chessboard, Guo Jia and Jia Xu were in a relationship, but no one was hesitant.

This sentence made Jia Xu stare at him for a moment, and Pang Tong was even more surprised and said, "What is the lord's meaning? Sima Yi is going to Luoyang, is his intention to be ill?"

Guo Jia grabbed a handful of white pieces and kept it in his hand, staring at the chessboard, thinking, "According to Sima Yi's current trend of being valued by Cao Pi, and the ninth-rank Zhongzheng system, the Sima family will sooner or later have a second Yuan Shao. However, with Wang Mang's precedent, the Sima family is not strong enough of a clan power, so it is best to have a He Jin. Even if he can't do that, it is necessary to establish prestige in the army. Haha, Wenhe, you old fox, have hidden a hand, and you almost hide it from the world. If you don't find out, I will abandon my son and surrender within five steps."

Guo Jia laughed and left a son, which happened to block a carefully designed game by Jia Xu.

Jia Xu and Pang Tong obviously did not focus on the chessboard. After all, they were shocked by Sima Yi.

They didn't know why Guo Jia thought Sima Yi was unfaithful to Cao Wei. Anyway, it was absolutely impossible to make this conclusion by hearing that Sima Yi had a look of a wolf, but Guo Jia never made a targetless decision.

Jia Xu smiled relaxedly and said, "If the lord wins the game back, it will be a draw."

Guo Jiahun didn't care, and picked up chess pieces while saying, "Then let's decide the next game."

Pang Tong, who was pondering on the side, also left Sima Yi behind. Even if Sima Yi really wanted to usurp the Cao Wei, it was a matter of nothing. Isn't it a trivial matter to usurp the government? How can the ambitious man do it for more than ten years or decades?

It was only one day before Wei Yan's attack into the pavilion, and the fleet led by Guo Jia was less than three hundred miles away from Wei Yan's vanguard army. He used his old tricks again. Guo Jia asked Wudang Flying Army to land at night, crossed the mountains and forests to pass the orders, and secretly crossed Chencang.

Guo Ye, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly heard the neat footsteps outside the account, stopped and turned his eyes to the account door. Sure enough, someone lifted the curtain to record the account, and the person coming was definitely unexpected by Guo Ye.

Xu Chu, who had a big golden sword, came to Guo Ye and bowed, and then said straight to the point: "Young Master, I will bring you my lord's military order. Please check it out."

After reading the military orders brought by Xu Chu, Guo Ye immediately said, "No need to delay, what will General Xu do? I immediately ordered the soldiers to cooperate with the general."

Xu Chu didn't say nonsense. After Xiao Ren, Zhang Ren, and Dian Man came to the tent, he told the plan.

In this industry, Xu Chu took Meng Huo, and Wudang's flying army had 20,000, and 10,000 were under Meng Huo's command, and 10,000 were among the 130,000 army of the central army.

Xu Chu ordered one by one and performed his duties.

Like the rear army, the soldiers of the central army retreated to the shore overnight with the assistance of the 20,000 Wudang Flying Army.

Dianmansou led the young army to escort Guo Ye. Halfway through the mountain and forest, Guo Ye suddenly turned around to find Xu Chu and came to Xu Chu. Guo Ye asked directly: "General Xu, how can we ask our vanguard troops, what arrangements will be made?"

Now Guo Ye has understood Guo Jia’s plan to deceive the east and attack the west.

However, Guo Ye must know what will happen to Wei Yan.

Under the leadership of Wei Yan, the 20,000 vanguard troops in the front could not withdraw quietly like the central army, otherwise they would be alarmed.

Xu Chu said the truth: "I got the order from my lord that after General Wei led his army into the pavilion, he went to rescue him."

When Guo Ye heard this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"In other words, the vanguard troops will inevitably go to war with Jiangdong. If Jiangdong strikes forward with all its might, the vanguard troops will be isolated and helpless."

Guo Ye didn't finish his heart, he understood!

Wei Yan's 20,000 soldiers were completely killed!

This explains why Guo Jia wanted to recruit an army composed of criminals, and before it was tempered, it was sent to the front line, and it was still a vanguard!

"General Xu, I would like to ask you something."

Guo Ye suddenly looked solemn and held Xu Chu's arm tightly.

Xu Chu was stunned and said solemnly: "Please speak with me, young master."

"Be sure to rescue Wei Wenchang."

Looking at Guo Ye's unwavering gaze, Xu Chu nodded seriously.
