The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 544 Guo Jia
Xun Yu faced Sun Jian, saluted first, and then spoke.

"Yan Baihu is entrenched in Wu County, known as the 'King of Thieves', but because of the weakness of Yangzhou's soldiers, this is why he has a moment of prestige."

"Yangzhou is located in the south, and has rarely experienced wars. Only the soldiers of Baiyue in the south defending the mountainous areas have the power to fight, but they should not move lightly."

Xun Yu's eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and then settled on Liu Chong.

"General Sun's family lives in Wu County, which is quite influential, and they have good relations with the Zhou family in Lujiang County. Now the prefect of Danyang is Zhou Shang."

Liu Chong nodded slightly, waiting for the next sentence, he knew what Xun Yu said.

At the beginning, Sun Jian was promoted by the former Marquis of Qiantang as the assistant army Sima to go north to suppress the rebellion, and left his family members in Shouchun City, Jiujiang County.

His son, Sun Ce, was also among them. Although Sun Ce was young, only ten years old, he was already well-known and well-known.

Zhou Yu, a son of the Lujiang Zhou family, was born in Yingda in the same year as Sun Ce. Hearing about Ce, he made a special trip from Shu County to visit Sun Ce in Shouchun.

Later, when Sun Jian launched an army to challenge Dong Zhuo, Zhou Yu persuaded Sun Ce to move to Shu County, and Sun Ce agreed.

When Sun Ce and others arrived at Marquis of Shu County, Lujiang County, Zhou Yu vacated the mansion on the south side of the road for the Sun family to live in, and visited Sun Ce's mother in the hall, and the two families became friendly.

The Lujiang Zhou family is a real big family. Zhou Yu's grandfather, Zhou Jing, and uncle Zhou Zhong, were the capital officials who once held the position of Taiwei in the Han Dynasty. His father, Zhou Yi, also served as the Luoyang Commander. There are not a few members of the Zhou clan who are officials.

"Yan Baihu has two things to rely on, one is the bandits under his command, and the other is the local tyrants, who think that they know the direction of our army's mobilization."

Xun Yu said calmly.

"Although the bandits under Yan Baihu's command are stronger than the county soldiers, they are actually difficult to get on the stage. I think that General Sun can choose a capable general and lead more than a thousand elite soldiers to Wu County to stabilize the situation, train new troops, and plan to attack. Things."

"There are a lot of local tyrants who have colluded with Yan Baihu. If we continue to suppress them, I am afraid that we will encounter a more serious rebellion, which will only fuel Yan Baihu's momentum. I think that we can rely on the influence of General Sun's family and the Lujiang Zhou family to sever their ties. .”

"If the two strategies are carried out together, the chaos in Yangzhou should not be hindered."

Liu Chong's eyes moved slightly, and he had to say that Xun Yu's strategy did work theoretically.

One thing Yan Baihu relies on is bandits, and the other is local tyrants. If the two strategies work together, Yan Baihu's support can be removed.

Yan Baihu is not a famous general, he is just a bandit in the mountains. It is because of the lack of training of Yangzhou soldiers that he has such a reputation because of his strong connections.

Although Sun Jian is the only one in the court who is worthy of a great position, he can be commander-in-chief and lead an army to go out.

However, there are a lot of generals in the court, and there is no shortage of generals to lead a group. Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi and others under Sun Jian's command are all first-class generals, and there are more than enough soldiers to lead a group. How can Yan Baihu Compared with it.

Liu Chong pondered for a while, then subconsciously glanced at Luo Jun beside him.

Luo Jun moved forward slightly, said a name softly, Liu Chong's expression changed slightly, he glanced at Sun Jian's direction, and nodded.

"If Wen Ruo thinks this strategy is feasible, what does Wentai think?"

When Liu Chong asked, Sun Jian didn't think too much about it, and agreed with him.

In the end, Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Jing was appointed as the Sima of the other department, and led [-] soldiers to Wujun to suppress the rebellion.

"The summer is hot, it is inconvenient to march and fight, and now the army lacks siege equipment and armaments..."

Because Zhou Ang occupied Yangcheng, he might be cut off by Zhou Ang at any time and be trapped in the Luoyang Basin, so Sun Jian directly burned a large number of siege equipment, which also led to the embarrassment of their lack of siege equipment.

The cities of Yanzhou have been strengthened, and there are no large siege equipment, which will inevitably lead to the loss of soldiers and generals. This is also unacceptable to the court of Chendu today.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

While everyone was discussing the details, there was a sudden knock on the door from outside.

Everyone in the hall looked out of the door. During the meeting, Liu Chong had already issued an order not to interfere, but at this time there was a knock on the door, which undoubtedly proved that something extremely serious happened. big thing.

"Urgent report!"

The wooden door opened, and a travel-worn messenger hurried into the hall.

The messenger didn't take off his shoes and socks, and when he walked into the hall, the dirt on his shoes was all over the floor, but no one would care about it at this time.

"The embroidered clothes envoy stationed in Jizhou urgently reported that Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou, was afraid of Dutinghou's army, so he handed over the Bohai prefect Yinshou to Dutinghou's younger brother, Gongsun Fan, and sent him to Nanpi to ease the relationship with Dutinghou..."

Everyone in the hall stood up, and the Marquis of Duting was Gongsun Zan. At this time, Yuan Shao showed his favor. If Gongsun Zan accepted, they would undoubtedly lose the reinforcements from Youzhou. At that time, they would really be fighting alone. Terrible news.

If Gongsun Zan also joins Yuan Shao's camp, then Liu Yu will be in danger, and Youzhou will also be lost!

Liu Chong's eyes were slightly dark, and he almost couldn't stand still, but then the messenger's words directly dragged Liu Chong from hell to heaven.

"male
Sun Fan held the prefect Yinshou of Bohai, and sent his cronies to control the Bohai soldiers. Dutinghou and Gongsun Fan joined forces, and now they have occupied the entire Bohai County! "

"Jizhou Army and Dutinghou fought in Dongguan, Bohai County. Dutinghou's formation killed the enemy generals Lu Weihuang and Han Ju, and they were defeated...the Jizhou Army was defeated!"

"What did you say?!"

Yuan Shu stepped forward suddenly, grabbed the messenger who reported the message, and asked anxiously.

All this is really a fantasy, Gongsun Zan should not have many generals, how could he defeat the Jizhou army and Yuan Shao so easily.

The messenger stammered: "The Marquis of Duting... defeated the Jizhou Army in Dongguan..."

Yuan Shu snatched the silk book from Xin Shi's hand. He clearly saw the seal and handprint of the embroidered envoy, and he knew that all this was not a fantasy, but a real thing that happened.

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

Yuan Shu smiled sarcastically with a sneer on his face.

"He, Yuan Shao, is just a servant girl..."

In the middle of speaking, Yuan Shu also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he immediately shut his mouth and stood back up again.

For so long, he has been pressed on the head by Yuan Shao, and he has never raised his head.

Finally, he took control of Nanyang County. With his help, Sun Jian defeated Dong Zhuo many times. Immediately Sun Jian would be able to attack Hangu Pass, immediately defeat Dong Zhuo completely, and welcome the emperor back to his old capital!
But all of this was destroyed by Yuan Shao again now. Yuan Shao became Jizhou Shepherd, and once again weighed on his head, and once again made him fail at an important juncture.

The current Yuan Shu really wanted to swallow Yuan Shao alive. Hearing that Yuan Shao was defeated, all his prestige and demeanor were forgotten by Yuan Shu. He just wanted to confirm the authenticity of this news!

Everyone was still in shock, and Yuan Shu's slip of the tongue was ignored by everyone in the hall. In the end, it was Sun Jian who reacted first.

"Hurry up and get the geomancy map!"

After a while, a detailed map was presented to the hall, and the guards hung it in front of everyone.

This was originally the place where the general's mansion discussed matters, so naturally there was also a place to place the map.

With a map to look at, the situation became much clearer at once.

The mapping of Kanyu maps is extremely detailed, and Youzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other places are all on it, which is clear at a glance.

Sun Jian's eyes brightened slightly, and he suppressed his excitement and said, "Gongsun Bogui defeated Yuan Shao in Dongping. The next step should be to attack Qingzhou Pingyuan County and Le'an Country in the south of Bohai County!"

"Gongsun Bogui can only guarantee peace of mind if he occupies Pingyuan County and Le'an Country, so that he will not be attacked from the southwest."

Sun Jian analyzed on the Kanyu map that Yuan Shao's stupid trick directly sent him to an extremely dangerous situation.

Although most of Bohai County is actually controlled by Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao directly gave the prefect seal to Gongsun Fan this time, hoping to get back together, which is a bit naive.

"At this time in Qingzhou, Jiaohe and Yuan Shao have been in close contact for many times, and the Yellow Turbans in the four prefectures have revived before, so Qingzhou has recruited more local braves and added trilogy. If Gongsun Zan wants to capture Pingyuan County and Le'an Kingdom, it may not be a simple matter. thing."

Sun Jian turned his head to look, and saw that the objection was a young scribe with a fair complexion and a slightly sick face.

Seeing Sun Jian's gaze, the white-faced scribe smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I'm Xi Zhicai, a native of Yingchuan County, and now works as a Zhonglang in the Cheqi General's Mansion."

"Xi Zhicai..."

Sun Jian's eyes were slightly lingering, and he glanced at Liu Chong indiscriminately.

These days Liu Chong seems to have recruited quite a few celebrities. There was Xun Yu before, and now there is another Xi Zhicai. Fame, reputation spread far and wide.

Now in the Cheqi General’s Mansion, Xun Yu is in charge of Sima, and Luo Jun is in charge of Changshi, and there are two other Zhonglang, one is the drama talent in front of him, and the other Sun Jian has heard some rumors, It seems to be from the Guo family in Yingchuan, whose name is Guo Jia and whose style name is Fengxiao.

"According to what I see, the Marquis of Duting may be able to occupy Pingyuan and Le'an within ten months."

Standing beside Xi Zhicai, a young scribe with a calm face and bright eyes shook his head slightly.

"Zhicai may not know that not long ago, the "moth thief" at the junction of Qingzhou, Yan, and Xuzhou was defeated by the Xuzhou army, and the remnants fled northward. Now because of lack of food, they are attacking Qingzhou from the north. In the chaos, the governor Jiaohe has transferred most of the soldiers to the territory of Qi."

"The Marquis of Duting deployed his troops swiftly like the wind. The Jizhou army suffered a major defeat in Dongping and withdrew westward. Yuan Shao was currently training in Changshan. Now in Pingyuan and Le'an, there are only a few thousand soldiers from the prefectures. How can they stop the Marquis of Duting's army! "

Sun Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, this person's attire was similar to that of a playmaker, presumably he was another Zhonglang Guo Jia.

"Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, is a clan. Although he had entanglements with Yuan Shao before, but now that Yuan Shao has failed, I'm afraid Liu Dai will have other ideas. He can send envoys to Yanzhou to lobby Liu Dai..."

Xi Zhicai frowned slightly, and vetoed it.

"Although Liu Dai belongs to the clan, but his temperament is small, and he will repay his grievances, but he may not be willing to taste the virtue of a meal."

"Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, had old grievances with Liu Dai. Liu Dai borrowed food from Qiao Mao, but Qiao Mao refused. The eunuch Yinshou is attached to Wang Gong, and he is ordered to take the post of eunuch of Dongjun, I am afraid that he already has the heart of disobedience."

Guo Jia smiled and said.

"Liu Dai and Yuan Shao colluded with each other and harbored disobedience, but not everyone in the county guards under their command was like this, but their disobedience was just because of their power, and that's why they aroused their desire to compete."

"There are eight counties in Yanzhou. The six counties of Dong, Shanyang, Rencheng, Dongping, Taishan, and Chenliu are all biased towards Liu Dai. Now only Cao Cao, the prefect of Jiyin, and Bao, the prime minister of Jibei, have confidence in the court, but they can be used as articles from now on. .”

The eyes of Sun Jian and others were fixed on Guo Jia. This young man who had just won the crown was methodical at this time, neither humble nor overbearing. Facing the gazes of so many powerful people, he was still calm and composed.

"The sheriff of Chenliu County is Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo. He has a close relationship with Cao Cao and Bao Xin. I think we can send lobbyists to Jiyin and Jibei to persuade Cao Cao and Bao Xin to lobby Zhang Miao."

"Yuan Shaoxin's defeat, Zhang Miao and others may also feel uneasy. At this time, with the persuasion of old friends, most of them can be persuaded."

"General Sun defeated Dong Bandit, and the battle at Taigu Pass will shake the world! At that time, the army will be assembled in Yangxia, and Chen Bing will be in the south of Chenliu County. As long as Zhang Miao is not a fool, he will naturally know the right choice."

Guo Jia pointed to Chenliu County on the Kanyu map and said in a low voice.

"Lobbying Liu Dai is just a way to slow down the army. It would be best if Liu Dai is willing to serve the court again, but if he refuses, our army will get Chenliu Commandery, and we can go straight to Puyang, East Commandery, without any worries, and win the battle against Yanzhou!"

Sun Jian looked in the direction of Guo Jia's finger, and instantly outlined the route of advance in his mind.

If Chenliu County is attached, then he can completely avoid any worries, and lead the army to drive straight in and besiege Puyang before Liu Dai can react.

Once Puyang, the state government, is captured, Yanzhou south of the Yellow River will be completely in the hands of the Han army.

At that time, the Han army will be in the south, and Gongsun Zan's army will be in the east, one south, one east, and can march from both sides at the same time, attacking Yuan Shao from both sides.

However, Gongsun Zan occupied Pingyuan and Le'an, and the Han army occupied Yanzhou, so Qingzhou's army could not quickly support Jizhou.

At that time, Yuan Shao will face the difficult situation of fighting alone and the two fronts are in a dilemma. For Yuan Shao, this is undoubtedly a dead end!

The discussion was still going on, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia kept talking, and Xun Yu also raised a few words from time to time to improve the details.

Sun Jian looked at the people who were discussing, his eyes were slightly serious.

The alliance of Hebei, Yan, and Qingzhou was easily broken in this short discussion of less than a moment.

Sun Jian's eyes were wandering around the people in the hall. Only then did he realize that there seemed to be many unfamiliar faces in Liu Chong's general's mansion.
