Chapter 732 Guo Jia Is No Longer A Baby Face

When Guo Jia heard this, he was overjoyed, knowing that his strategy would be adopted by Guan Yu, and this war would come to an end soon.

Guo Jia is confident that he can definitely end this war before the spring plowing.

Guan Yu stood up and stopped the words of his subordinates who wanted to talk about this matter.

"I have made up my mind, so I don't need to say much. This battle must end as soon as possible. The Yellow Turban bandits have a shallow foundation. It is time for our army to move forward decisively and completely destroy them! Our army should move forward bravely and never back down. Let the bandits take a good look at how invincible our army is! We are invincible!"

Guan Yu waved his hand majestically.

Although he had many opinions on Guo Jia and was still a little unhappy, at this moment, Guan Yu chose to follow his inner voice and believed in Guo Jia's judgment on this matter.

And in the final analysis, the number of the Han army is larger than that of the Yellow Turban Mountain-Vietnam Allied Army, and with a strong force in hand, Guan Yu has the confidence to do things.

So he left Huang Zhong, who was doing things safely, to guard the rear, and personally led the three independent battalions of Gan Ning, Shi Huan, and Yan Xing to continue advancing, and continued to implement fire attack tactics and rush tactics.

Facts have proved that Guo Jia's judgment is correct.

The Han army continued to implement fire attack tactics and continued to move forward, causing a severe blow to the Huangjinshan-Vietnamese allied forces.

The Huangjinshan-Vietnamese allied forces launched many counter-charges against the Han army, but their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Han army.

And their attempt to threaten the logistics of the Han army also ended due to insufficient troops-in other words, Fei Zhan, who saw that the situation was getting worse, didn't want to continue fighting.

Fei Zhan no longer wanted to waste his troops helping the Yellow Turban Army continue to fight against the Han Army.

By the end of December, near the New Year's Eve, the Han army had pushed the battle line to the outskirts of the mountainous area where the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army was located. The mountainous area where the headquarters of the Unicom Danyang Shanyue Division was located, and the surrounding hills had all been captured.

It means that the Han army has completed the tactical siege of the old nest of the Huangjinshan-Vietnamese Allied Forces.

The Han army attacked all the way and burned all the way, consuming all the fierce fire oil tanks brought by the army and stored in Lujiang County and Jiujiang County. The burning of this mountain area was a mess, which can be called a plant killer.

The good news came one after another. The Han army advanced step by step, and it seemed that the Yellow Turban army was about to be wiped out.

But the bad news is that the fierce oil tanks are used up, and it will take at least half a month for the new batch to reach the front line in transit.

And in the past few days, the sunny weather is over. After a winter rain, there is another heavy snow. The mountain roads are even more difficult. If you continue to implement the fire attack tactics, the effect will drop a lot.

These days, the generals in the army have greatly changed their views on Guo Jia, because everything he said before has basically come true.

Continuing to implement resolute offensive tactics has indeed achieved great success. The Yellow Turban Army is really at the end of its battle. The previous threat is just the last bravery.

After that, the Yellow Turban and Shanyue troops never threatened the logistics of the Han army.

Even the logistics route that has been discovered, the Yellow Turban Army and the Shanyue gang have never attacked again, and it is very safe. Although the logistics supply of the frontline Han army is not easy, it has never been in short supply after all.

And more importantly, it rained on the second day after the fierce fire oil tank was almost used up, and then it was snowing heavily.

It is quite choking when it is burned and burned, and the smoke fills the air, but it is not enough lethal and deterrent on the battlefield.

Therefore, the officers' view of Guo Jia was no longer that of a frail little boy, but that he was seriously regarded as a marching staff officer.

On the day when it was snowing heavily, Guan Yu found Guo Jia, personally handed him a cup of hot wine for him to drink, and asked him about his views on battlefield tactics.

"Now the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, the roads are muddy and difficult to move forward, and it is difficult for the army to move forward. What's more, they have lost the important weapon of the fierce fire oil tank. If they continue to advance, although they can win in the end, they will definitely pay a heavy price. I can't bear it. Fengxiao, what do you think?"

Guo Jia held the mug of hot wine and took a sip comfortably.

"General Guan is benevolent, this is a good thing, but in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with suspending the attack. The Yellow Turban Bandits will be defeated when the weather clears up and a new batch of high-fire oil tanks arrive. Even this whole mountain, we can burn him clean."

"Then there will be a truce during this period of time? Will the Yellow Turban Bandits take any action?"

"There should be, and they won't sit still. Seeing that our army has closed the mountain without doing anything, they should send people to try to break through. But as long as our army is strictly guarded, they won't have any chance."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Our army should be able to have a stable New Year's Eve. During this period of time, the soldiers have also worked hard. Isn't it good to prepare some wine and meat for them to eat and drink to celebrate the New Year's Eve?"

"That's natural."

Guan Yu nodded: "But if you don't do anything, isn't it a bit..."

"General Guan's worries, I understand, so..."

Guo Jia took another sip of the hot wine and said slowly, "I have an idea."

"Oh? What do you think?"

Guan Yu looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia put down the mug of hot wine in his hand.

"I would like to send someone to contact Danyang Shanyue. If possible, I would like to visit the leader of Danyang Shanyue and discuss some cooperation matters with him, trying to get him to abandon the Yellow Turban and cooperate directly with us to raid the Yellow Turban Thief's lair from the rear and end the resistance of the Yellow Turban Thieves as soon as possible."

"This……"

Guan Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then thought of Liu Bei's method of disintegrating and disintegrating the Bingzhou bandits and finally successfully solving this problem.

According to the art of war, Guo Jia has changed from a bastard and a vase to a capable person in his eyes. A capable person who is valued by Liu Bei will definitely not do meaningless things.

"Feng Xiao, do you want to persuade Danyang Shanyue to take this opportunity to join the imperial court and use them to destroy the Yellow Turban bandits?"

Guo Jia nodded.

"Again, I don't think that Danyang Shanyue can choose to live and die with the Yellow Turban Bandit at all. This is unbelievable to them. I think Danyang Shanyue must be very anxious now and must be very unwilling to accept the reality.

At this moment, if we can give them a way out and allow them to see their chances, then maybe we can persuade them to cooperate with the court and launch an attack on the Yellow Turbans from their position, which should be much more convenient. "

Guan Yu stroked his beard habitually, narrowed his eyes, and pondered for a moment.

"In this way, wouldn't you be in danger? No one knows if those bandits from the mountains are crazy people, just in case you are in danger..."

"How can you get a tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's den? If you don't take some risks, how can you get the desired result?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "And I'm not purely taking risks, General Guan, I've thought about it too. From the standpoint of these Shanyue bandits, they definitely don't want to be attacked by the imperial army with the Yellow Turban bandits, and they don't want to really offend the imperial court. They just want to live their lives in peace. If they really annoy the imperial court and send a large army to encircle and suppress them, their life will not be easy."

"But the Shanyue bandits will be wiped out in the end, just like the imperial court treats the Bingzhou bandits."

Guan Yu hesitated and said, "Eliminating now is no different from eradicating later, right?"

"The general did not completely wipe out the bandits in Bingzhou, but disintegrated."

Guo Jia said slowly: "If the current imperial army gives the Shanyue bandits an image of only fighting and not negotiating, it will do great harm to the imperial court's management of Yangzhou in the future.

If there is a good cooperation, maybe more Shanyue thieves will be less tyrannical, and the court will be given time to manage Yangzhou safely. In the future, when Yangzhou is almost managed, it will not be difficult to deal with the Shanyue thieves.

Therefore, I think it is necessary for us to adopt a strategy of appeasement against the Shanyue thieves, to deal with them separately from the Yellow Turban thieves, and then divide and disintegrate some of them. In this way, these thieves can be calmed down faster. "
