Three Kingdoms: Sir, you love learning too much!

Chapter 116 Teacher, please say something nice!

In this government office, Cao Ang looked at the eager eyes of several people, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while. He has always been a person who observes filial piety and righteousness, so he naturally takes the rules of loyalty to the emperor more seriously.

If he did not get the military order this time and immediately dispatched troops, then someone would follow suit in the future, wouldn't it be a mess? !

Even if I don't think about it this way, my father will definitely think about it. Let alone whether Yuan Shu's Yangzhou can be severely damaged, maybe he will be punished immediately before the battle.

Although Cao Ang is both civil and military, he has learned extensively, and his family education is also very strict. The big man originally ruled the country with filial piety, just like Cao Cao, although he is a hero, he would never offend in front of Cao Song.

Cao Ang would definitely not refute his father, and he was very obedient. He was ruled to be obedient every day, and he was tricked to teach his second brother Cao Pi a few years ago.

It is the first time for him to do such deviant things now...

When Guo Yi saw this, he pouted immediately, "It's over, what did I bring you here for, isn't it just to make a decision at this time? If you still hesitate, then you won't be able to leave today."

It has been a day since the news came, which means that Yuan Shu announced it two days ago, so the preparations must have been several months ago. Now after he ascended the throne, the time for preparations is only a few days, and he will definitely arrange to deploy a large number of troops to garrison Around Shouchun.

Shouchun, as his capital, must build walls and widen the city ditch, which is difficult to break through.

In these few months, it will become more and more difficult to break through, and it will be even more difficult to crack when it is built into a solid fortress-like high strength a year later.

After Yuan Shao conquered Youzhou and became a little stronger, Yuan Shu went to persuade him several times. Once the two join forces, the result may be completely different.

At this moment, many thoughts and guesses flashed through Guo Yi's mind, and just the few thoughts he grasped made him feel terrible.

For example, Yuan Shu, who called himself the "Zhong family", had nothing to do with the emperor, but secretly told Yuan Shao that he was the "Bo", and the two occupied half of the country. If they really united, which prince would be able to resist.

Another example is if Yuan Shu is really allowed to hold on for several years, the situation will change in various ways at that time, and the title of the country will be stabilized, and the emperor will really be gone.

"Zixiu, Yuan Shu said that the emperor is different from Quexuan back then. He has at least [-] armored soldiers under his command, and he has money and food he obtained regardless of the life and death of the people to hoard in Shouchun. If he really sticks to it for several years, maybe The general situation of the world will change again, the Yuan brothers ascended to the top, and they are still able to separate one side with [-] people this year, how terrible it is."

"At this time, we should take advantage of the fact that we have not heard of it, and immediately send troops to attack it. We have hundreds of horses and [-] soldiers in Chenliu. If we join forces with Xuzhou, we can send troops to Guangling immediately, and then enter Yangzhou from the Guangling area. Yangzhou The eight counties in the north close to Shouchun can at least be captured as a barrier to claim Yuan Shu, and his trip to become emperor should be punished by the whole world. To the south, Sun Ce must also be waiting for such an opportunity. Opportunities have existed since ancient times. It’s just fleeting, I’m sure he’s not ready to prepare his troops now, and since he’s usurping the Han, he must go through all the etiquette procedures and use this to cleanse the minds of the people in the territory,” Guo Yi has already Without any slack, he analyzed the situation to Cao Ang eloquently.

He even put the map in front of his eyes. Chen Deng had already sent back a copy of the map of Guangling, which marked the current real situation and corrected the diversion of several rivers. The geography of eight cities.

Speaking of this, taking advantage of Cao Ang's confusion, Guo Yi paused for a while, and then continued: "If you send troops directly, you can say that you will not accept military orders abroad, so you only need to be punished lightly, but you took down the eight city, you can attack Yuan Shu's arrogance first, so that the people in the territory have a place to escape. How can a country without people be a country? It's just like that Gongsun Zan built a 'Yijing Tower' to trap himself to death It's all inside!"

"After you have made meritorious deeds, go and claim merits and demerits with the lord. The reputation you occupy in this way is all your own! You don't do anything, just wait here for the edict, and wait for at least a month after the army arrives. At that time I don’t know how many people will die!! Zixiu, as a general, you must be good at making use of merits and demerits to earn war profits!! Only in this way can you continue to grow and make a fortune!”

"I……"

Cao Ang was really dumbfounded at this time. It was the first time he heard that marching and fighting can make a fortune by offsetting merits and demerits. Dian Wei next to him seemed to have opened up some new door, his eyes flickered, as if watching worship Staring at Guo Yi's side face like a god.

Today's General Zhonglang is extraordinarily handsome and resolute, am I finally going to make a contribution under his account? !
Gao Shun, on the other hand, turned around directly and had already walked to the threshold. What Guo Yi said was indeed a generous statement, but he really had no eyes to see or ears to hear.

Cao Ang pondered for a moment, entangled, but in the end what Guo Yi said about "equal merits and demerits" still moved him, at this moment Cao Ang murmured: "Brother is right, I would rather do wrong than do nothing. "

"That's right!" Guo Yi slapped the copybook with one hand, and said in a deep voice, "No matter what you do, you can never make a mistake! Even if you are really wrong, as long as you are still alive, no one will say you are wrong, but You must dare to do it!"

Dian Wei nodded immediately: "Well said, if I had half the identity of the eldest son and half the soldiers, I would have already decided to attack! To usurp the Han and stand on our own is to be a vassal!!"

What the fuck? !
Guo Yi was taken aback, and turned his head to look at Dian Wei dumbfounded, because he had never taught this sentence before, and it actually came from Dian Wei's mouth.

Gao Shun next to him was pretending to be looking at the scenery, but when he heard Dian Wei's words, he just bowed his head and remained silent, almost losing his temper.

After thinking about it, Cao Ang realized that this matter was indeed done, and he could gamble. It took only one day and night to send his letter to Xudu. If his father still had to discuss it, two days would be enough.

There will be no difference between these two days. I will directly mobilize the troops, and then I will make a more sincere statement, and I will definitely agree to it when I get a reply.

Take a gamble.

"Okay, send troops immediately, from Chenliu to Xiaqiu, and then immediately raid Yuan Shu's location. At the same time, order Chen Yuanlong to send troops from Guangling, go south and take the land of Yangzhou, and occupy Dongling."

"Well, good military strategy."

There are several rivers and several ferries in Dongling Pavilion, all of which can occupy important routes. In the future, it will be an important channel for Yuan Shu to transport grain by water. As long as he occupies this place, he can only divert it.

The consumption of food transported by the dry road will increase, and once they raid Jiujiang County, Yuan Shu will definitely not take care of Donglingdu, which is farther away.

He didn't even hear much news, and only cared about stabilizing the situation in Shouchun.

"The thing to consider now is, if Jiujiang is captured, how can we defend it..."

Cao Ang smiled wryly. According to the strength of the army, it is indeed more expensive than supernatural speed. If the enemy is unprepared, you may gain something, but if you want to defend it, it is very difficult.

Yuan Shu will definitely send a large army to continuously attack the lost ground. Even if the time comes to defend the city, it will be too difficult. I don't know how many soldiers will be killed or injured.

Guo Yi sighed: "Let's talk about it after we go, if you can't, just give him the territory."

……

On the way to march, to Liang Guo.

Cao Ang finally understood the meaning of Guo Yi's words.

"Give Jiujiang back to him again, which means...we'll just go and loot it, right?!"

Good guy, as expected of your brother.

Why is it necessary to treat Xuzhou with benevolence and righteousness, but to Yuan Shu, he is willing to directly plunder? If this happens, the reputation of our army in Jiujiang will be ruined?

Guo Yi immediately smiled wryly, "It is said to be plundering, but in fact it has nothing to do with the people. In Yuan Shu's jurisdiction, there will be no money and food left in the captured land. The people have already been squeezed out, and they are still alive for food. That's all, if you want to rob, you're going to rob those noble gentry and officials."

"If you go to the city, the people might be very cooperative and stand at the door of the house, let us go and plunder. At this time, we should use Cao's government to spread it widely and let the people migrate to Xiapi, Jixian, and Guyang. In this way, it can be the same as breaking Xuzhou back then."

"Of course, the result may be different!"

Guo Yi raised his whip on his horse, but he only guessed briefly. The road was far away, and few of them could talk all the time. The cavalry was very fast. Dian Wei led the Qing cavalry to follow, and crossed a river from Taiqiu to Ji County. There is no danger.

Then go straight down to Guyang.

They seized the cities of Xiangxian and Longkang in the same night, occupied a river, entered Huaiyuan at night, and then attacked Zhongli.

At this time, there were more than [-] defenders in Zhongli, but they did not expect an enemy attack at night. Guo Yi and Dianwei were cutting logs in the forest to make a simple cart with wheels, and equipped it with a knife in the front. Points and other sharp objects repeatedly gather the strength of dozens of people to collide.

Finally, the Kaicheng Cave was broken, and at the same time, some soldiers climbed up the ladder to the city wall. The enemy army was not ready to meet the enemy. In the end, the soldiers and horses in the city had no time to deploy defenses, and the city was not prepared at all. One after the other, Yi entered the city cave and led people from bottom to top to kill inside the city.

So after dozens of people were killed and wounded, the soldiers in the city saw that the gate was broken, and they didn't know how many enemy troops there were, so they surrendered. More than [-] people were captured, and the rest all fled. Unlike the state of autumn harvest, it is more like a group of people suffering from frozen bones on the road in severe winter.

After Guo Yi and others entered the city, they saw that the streets were mostly ruins along the way. Except for a few intact houses and mansions, all the houses were dilapidated.

The people, old and young, mostly waited to die outside their homes with their backs against the wall, and they would not run away when they saw the soldiers coming. They just stared at the street side with fear and despair on their faces, as well as a little hope.

In this situation, how do they rob?
Guo Yi and Cao Ang felt numb after seeing it, and could only sigh: "Even people like Dian Wei don't want to copy it after seeing it."

Dian Wei: "???"

"What kind of person am I?"

At this moment, Cao Ang's face was ashen and bloody, and he was also extremely brave in battle. At this time, he was exhausted from the long march, and he had nothing to say.

Perhaps, this trip will indeed lead to nothing, and the city cannot be defended, the walls on all sides are very low, if the city walls are to be built, it will take half a month to improve.

It would take two more days to wait for Gao Shunsu's Miaodao battalion to arrive, but these two days would be fine, since Yuan Shu's troops probably wouldn't arrive right away.

but……

"I can't retreat, I have a plan to defeat the enemy," Guo Yi patted Dianwei on the shoulder, his face was firm, without any hesitation, he closed his eyes at this moment, as if struggling to think about something, and at the same time kept talking , "This city goes up to Yicheng and down to Dangtu. There are rivers passing through it, backed by mountains, and then reaches Hong County. If you defend Zhongli County, when the reinforcements arrive, you can attack back and forth with Long Kang's soldiers and horses."

"Zixiu, go back to Longkang and wait for the arrival of Gao Shun's troops. Dian Wei and I will stay at Zhongli. When the soldiers and horses arrive, we will go down to the sentry post with Yicheng to closely check the movements of Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses. If there are no soldiers and horses, Forget it, if soldiers and horses come, we will attack Yuan's army from front to back."

"Then take their food as a supplement. Otherwise, many people will starve to death on the way back to the army now. The food in this city can only be used for seven days."

"This..." Cao Ang's face was suddenly confused, but he couldn't refute it. Looking around, he really felt that he didn't know how to mobilize the emotions of the people, "These people may be a burden in the city, and they will be moved away while there is no obstacle now. Bar."

"Well," Guo Yi quickly nodded seriously, "In Longkang, we can share food. If Chen Yuanlong can take Huailing, he can join me after walking thirty miles east."

"So you don't need to worry, Chen Yuanlong will definitely not let me down."

"Now, I have many retreats, so defending this city with Dianwei is also to let the nearby scholars and common people see my Cao Jun's determination, and also see Yuan Shu's ugly behavior."

"Understood!" Cao Ang stopped talking too much, he understood Guo Yi's ability, and he would not do things that show off his abilities. He still has so many businesses at home, and my sister is his wife. Chengchi gave up a good life.

Guo Yi and him reached out to pat each other, clasped tightly in front of their chests, and said in a deep voice: "Zixiu, remember, in the Longkang area, you must first spread the family tradition everywhere, and let people use paper, bark, and cloth to spread it around. Write Cao's internal commandments and distribute them everywhere."

"Okay, I know, attacking the heart is the first!"

Yuan Shu's behavior in Huaiyang has already reached the point where people and gods are indignant. Not to mention extravagance and lust, he didn't care about the affairs of the people during the war, which caused the people's livelihood to deteriorate year by year.

However, Cao's internal commandments are exactly the opposite, advocating that the family should never be extravagant, be frugal at home, and be sympathetic to the people and be generous in government externally.

Most of the people from the Cao family and the Xiahou family acted on this basis, forming a trend, which was widely spread among Xudu scholars, and even many ministers and ministers had heard of it.

It's just that they heard it, but they didn't believe it.

"Brother cherishes it."

Cao Ang made a sincere entreaty, and then led the soldiers and horses, urging the people to leave the city and go to Longkang to get food.

After the people left, Guo Yi came to the city gate tower. The simple city tower was equivalent to a small compartment, and the things inside were also very simple. Even a table was dilapidated. After searching for a long time in the city tower, he finally found a few jars liquor.

Dian Wei looked at it and scolded his mother, "There is no food for people to eat, and it is used to make wine. The local officials are really damned."

Guo Yi went up and slapped him on the shoulder, and said, "Maybe it was left by the predecessors. Maybe there was still enough food and clothing at that time? You can't use the current failure of government to insult the elegant scholars back then."

"Pu Po, look over there," Dian Wei ignored Guo Yi's words, but pouted his lips to let him look at the teenagers on the steps outside the door, to be precise, they were teenagers.

Guo Yi looked up and saw Zhuge Liang sitting on the steps, his face turned pale.

Just now he was patrolling the city, but he didn't come, and Zhuge Liang planned to charge along with him, but Dian Wei held him in the rear and prevented him from coming out, Guo Yi also ordered several guards to watch him.

Unexpectedly, after Zhuge Liang watched the battle at close range, he didn't dare to say the word of rushing forward.

Guo Yi understands that the formation of a person's personality requires many twists and turns in his life, and it is hard to change the final shape, so he walked slowly towards Zhuge Liang and sat beside him.

Looking at the distant sky just like Zhuge Liang, Guo Yi said softly and softly: "Do you know that when I first went to the battlefield, I chased and killed Yuan Shu eight hundred miles away."

"Teacher," Zhuge Liang trembled, his Adam's apple rolled, and turned his head to look at him resentfully, "It's about time, can you say something nice?"
