Chapter 178 Yeon Gae So Moon plans to go bankrupt

As the sun rose in the east, Guo Jia looked at the Goryeo army slowly retreating in the distance and couldn't help but shake his head.

The person who made the greatest contribution to this battle was naturally Guo Jia. He turned his hands into clouds and rain. He was clearly in the city, but he completely controlled the direction of the war.

"Mr. Guo is indeed a great talent! Xue admires him very much!" Xue Li looked at the thin scribe in front of him with admiration.

"General Xue, there's no need to be like this, everyone has their own strengths!" Guo Jia shook his head, but he didn't look complacent. This was just bullying a waste like Gao Li.

If it were the Northern Huns, they might be defeated today. This method is child's play for any known enemy, and it is only useful against Zahu and Goryeo.

When he heard that Goryeo had raised 30 troops to invade Youzhou, he was still a little solemn. After Goryeo failed to capture any city for a month, Guo Jia understood that this wave of Goryeo army was at the level of miscellaneous barbarians.

It's not a matter of strength, but a matter of people's hearts. Zahu is afraid of China, while Goryeo is purely in civil strife. After getting the information Zhou Yafu learned from Goguryeo, Guo Jia understood.

Today's Goryeo is just a union of mixed tribes. It is not even a kingdom, and it cannot even compare with the original coalition of princes. One army has five commanders. This is not self-division and self-consumption.

Guo Jia didn't even think about it, and instinctively planned the fate of defeat for Goryeo. Guo Jia understood the characteristics of the Goryeo people in just a moment. He was arrogant, arrogant, and sinister, and then directly dealt with these weaknesses, so that the original A perfect but slightly risky plan turns directly into a strategy for victory.

However, there were still errors in the information, and he could not help but be induced. He originally thought that the 30-strong army was led by five commanders, and it should be a situation where princes were fighting. Now, although it is not possible for Yeon Gaesumun's family to dominate, Goguryeo The king's power was undoubtedly greatly weakened.

Although the four surrounding camps belonged to different nobles, they were all subordinates of the King of Goryeo, so after this war, Yeon Gaesumun actually made a lot of money.

"Hmph!" Guo Jia hammered the city wall angrily. Because of the situation of the princes in the world, he subconsciously thought that the phenomenon of multiple commanders in other countries was due to the division of power. He did not expect that the other country would have a unified ownership.

"Yeongae Suwen will definitely be a serious problem for the Lord in the future!"

From the battle report at night, Guo Jia finally understood the division of Goryeo's 30 army. It turned out that Yeon Gaesumun alone controlled an army of [-], and the other four generals each held an army of [-].

Among them, the troops under Yeon Gaesumun were the most elite. This battle seemed to be won, but for Guo Jia, it was actually a complete loss.

Just like Zhuge Liang killed Zhang He in the novel, it seemed that he killed the mainstay of Cao Wei, but in fact he was borrowed by Sima Yi. It seemed that Zhuge Liang made a profit, but in fact Sima Yi was the one who made a lot of money.

Youzhou helped Yeon Gaesumun pawn a knife for free. If he guessed correctly, Yeongaesumun would start a rebellion when he returned to the country. By then, they would be facing a complete top-level kingdom, so they must He found an opportunity and inflicted heavy damage on Yeon Gaesumun's army.

And when thinking of the Xianbei Hu people who suddenly appeared in Juyongguan, Guo Jia had reason to doubt the relationship between the two parties.Maybe, the Northern Huns had already secretly reached some secrets with Goryeo, or with Yeon Gaesumun.

"But it's not that easy for Yeon Gaesumun to escape unscathed!" Guo Jia looked at the plans of Cao Shen, Zhou Yafu and others and sneered. Although there are gains in the current battle situation, it is not as easy as Yeon Gaesumon's gains. In comparison, it's a huge loss.

Although Cao Shen and Xun Yu are both top wise men, they are both good at governing the country. Although their ability to plan people's hearts is still far behind that of Guo Jiabi, they still have no problem dealing with Goguryeo.

Guo Jia looked at the Goguryeo camp in the distance. Yuengai Suwen had not won this round. Xue Li, Xie Xuan and others were not willing to let Goguryeo take such a big advantage and retreat. The two of them took six thousand soldiers with them. , taking advantage of the night to escape into the forest, intending to deliver a fatal blow to Goguryeo during its retreat.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger. If you can know the information about Goguryeo earlier, you won't be so passive this time.

Fortunately, he, Guo Jia, also made some money this time. Although it was not as much as Yun Gaesuwen directly made for a country, he still gained something.

Killed a king of the Northern Huns, captured more than 10,000 Goryeo people, and captured nearly 20 miscellaneous people. The harvest was not small. Use these to develop the Northeast. Xun Yu and Shen Pei Northeast China can be greatly developed.

But in contrast, Youzhou also paid a high price. Whether it was the soldiers who died in Juyong Pass, the soldiers who followed Xue Li and others, or the soldiers who died in the last battle, almost more than [-] were killed. people,
"Hey, bury all the corpses and send the name tags with their names to Zhuo County and put them in the Jingling Hall for the incense to be passed down."

Cao Shen looked at the battle report in his hand with a painful expression. More than 2 people died in the battle, which sounds very small. Those were the sons of more than [-] families. It was an honor to die for the country, but how much pain did it bring to the families under his command? Woolen cloth.

The dead have passed away, but the lives of the living will continue. The war is over, but the people displaced by the war still need him to further resettle them, and he cannot leave Youzhou.

Wei Qing, Zhou Yafu, Xie Xuan, Xue Li... these young people, Cao Shen saw in them the ability to stand alone, but as a commander, it is not enough to have commanding skills. If you want to stand alone, you must There is an understanding of the overall situation, and one that transcends the battlefield.

He only saw this kind of overall view in Wei Qing, who arrived in Changping in time to prevent the Xianbei barbarians from further causing trouble in Youzhou, and still left enough defense force on the prairie where they were stationed. It can be said that he completely took care of both sides. , there is no left-right imbalance.

On the contrary, he did not see this overall view in Zhou Yafu. As the commander-in-chief of the army, after he left, he did not take precautions in advance, which led to Goguryeo taking advantage of the opportunity.

If Xue Li hadn't turned the tide, the fall of Youzhou Border County would have been enough to make Zhou Yafu regret it for the rest of his life.

"However, Youzhou is not something you can come and leave whenever you want!" Cao Shen was on the warship at this time, preparing to use the navy to intercept the Goguryeo army.

Zhou Yafu also sent a notice to the Goguryeo army. Three thousand soldiers have joined the Goguryeo army. As long as the inside and outside are coordinated, it is guaranteed that Yeon Gaesumun will not be able to eat!
