The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 145 Plan ahead
In the name of the Son of Heaven, Wang Yun issued a call to crusade against Guo Jia, which charged Guo Jia'an as a traitor. Shouldn't it, should it be, let's not talk about it, but Guo Jia must keep a low profile at this time. He has the strength to enter Chang'an, but he does not have the strength to resist the flanking attacks of various warlords in Liangzhou and the princes of the Guandong. The most important thing is that at this time, except for the people under his rule, the people everywhere are against Guo Jia. People's hearts, Guo Jia must first give the stage to the Kwantung princes, let them attract the attention of the world, and secondly, rest and recuperate, waiting for the right time.

After the battle, Lu Bu, the most important thing is to clean up the battlefield. The corpses are burned immediately, and they must be disposed of cleanly, just to prevent the occurrence of plague.

From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the population of China dropped sharply. In addition to the war, the most important thing was the outbreak of the plague. There were countless plagues caused by natural disasters and war deaths. Guo Jia repeatedly ordered and repeated that after the war, the corpses must be cremated immediately, and if there are sudden sudden deaths of civilian livestock, they must be isolated and disposed of in a timely manner, and follow-up observations should be made to prevent erroneous events.

Guo Jia also wanted to find Hua Tuo, the wandering genius doctor, but no matter how good Hua Tuo's medical skills were, it was impossible to change the times. , he can only do his best to obey the destiny, and set up medicine in hundreds of schools as much as he can, but after all, the status of doctors is not high, and the subjects are profound, and those who want to stand out choose medicine very rarely.

When the other princes were amazed by Lu Bu's fiasco, only Cao Cao didn't take it seriously, and said to Xun Yu, "Guo Jia has countless capable men, and it would be unbelievable if Lu Bu was undefeated."

Indeed, in terms of the number of troops deployed on the battlefield, the Taiping Army was almost twice as large as Lu Bu's, and in terms of generals and advisers, the Taiping Army was far more than Lu Bu's. However, when Lu Bu's [-] army was wiped out, the Taiping Army lost only a few thousand. There is no general in front of the battle, this is a war of strategic and tactical use of troops, Guo Jia has no reason!The importance of talents has been best interpreted.

If there is no general in front of the battle and Lu Bu is unstoppable, will the winner of the general win?That is simply a fantasy. Fighting generals usually meet on narrow roads when the two armies are unprepared for the battle and have no tactical design. The generals want to defeat the opponent's morale through fighting generals. If the two armies are prepared Well, with the tactical route, will you still spend time and risk your life to fight the general?
Not to mention that Lu Bu is invincible in single-handed combat generals, even if he is a shrimp soldier and crab general, Guo Jia will not let Zhang Liao, Gan Ning and other generals foolishly fight for generals, because he knows that the abilities and talents of Zhang Liao, Gan Ning and other generals are not just martial arts.

Leading the army back to Hanzhong to rectify the soldiers and horses, Guo Jia rewarded the three armies in Hanzhong, and distributed the grain, grass and supplies he had seized from Chencang as rewards to the soldiers.

A banquet was held in the prefect's mansion to celebrate this great victory. Guo Jia sat on the main seat and exchanged cups with Tang Xiawu, toasting each general in person.

It is said that life must be enjoyed to the fullest, and the atmosphere at the banquet was high, the generals and counselors drank to their heart's content, laughing and laughing, but this ordinary wine tastes like drinking water, which is not enough to enjoy.

Just at this time, someone outside the hall came in and reported: "My lord, the Zhen family has sent ten altars of drunken immortals to celebrate the victory of the old way."

Everyone in the hall was taken aback, Guo Jiawen was overjoyed after hearing this, and said to Zhang Liao who was sitting in front of him, "What are you waiting for, Wen Yuan?"

Zhang Liao laughed, got up and ordered the soldiers to bring in the drunken immortal wine. Ten wine jars were placed on the ground. Guo Jia ordered: "Take six jars for the soldiers outside, and four jars are enough."

In the courtyard of the Taishou Mansion, the low-ranking generals in the army were also drinking happily, but they usually couldn't drink the drunken fairy at all. When Zhang Liao commanded his subordinates to carry the six altars of drunken fairy into the courtyard, Zhang Liao said loudly: " This is the lord's gift to you, the world-renowned Immortal Drunken Wine!"

The soldiers stood up and clasped their fists in the direction of the lobby and said in unison: "Thank you, my lord."

After thanking them, some wine-hungry generals impatiently opened the seal of the wine jar, a strong smell of wine came out, and the generals who had never drunk drunk swallowed a bowl, and then choked their noses and tears It was sprayed everywhere, causing everyone to laugh.

Although the Prohibition of Alcohol has been promulgated, it is not a ban on drinking alcohol, but that brewing of alcohol is not allowed in Yizhou, in order to stockpile food and prepare for wars and famines. The Zhen family has a lot of drunk wine in stock, which was not sold out before Guo Jiaqi's incident. But right now, I can only count and drink carefully.

With the help of drunken immortals, the atmosphere of the banquet was even higher. Only Gao Shun expressed his joy by substituting tea for wine with a faint smile. This was not a disappointment for Gao Shun. He is a general who keeps a clear mind at all times. This is his principle. Guo Jia will not force others to make things difficult. On the contrary, he admires Gao Shun very much.

Meng Da raised his glass to Guo Jia with three points of drunkenness and said, "My lord, Lu Bu returned after being defeated, and the remaining soldiers and horses in Guanzhong are already vulnerable. Why don't my lord take advantage of the victory to pursue and take down the land of Sanfu in one fell swoop?"

Fazheng, who was sitting on the other side, frowned slightly, and wanted to reprimand Meng Da not to talk nonsense. The Guanzhong land was indeed something that Guo Jia could take down at this time, but it was difficult for Guo Jia to gain a foothold after taking it. From the perspective of long-term and timing , this time is not a good opportunity to take Sansuke.

He was afraid that Guo Jia would be impulsive when drunk, so he was worried that Guo Jia would lead the army to attack Guanzhong, but before he could speak, Guo Jia smiled at Meng Da and asked, "Why does Zidu want me to take Guanzhong?"

Meng Da immediately replied: "The people in Guanzhong are suffering unspeakably, but the Lord's rule is peaceful. In order to solve the hardships of the people in Guanzhong, firstly, the people left their hometowns and moved to Yizhou, and secondly, the Lord took down Guanzhong and returned the heads of the people to the blue sky. "

"Zidu, don't talk nonsense. How can the war start as soon as it is said? Chang'an is the capital of the great Han Dynasty, which is extraordinary. Don't miss the Lord's great cause. Sending troops and three assistants at this time will have disadvantages but no benefits." Fazheng said with a serious expression. Rebutting Meng Da's proposal.

After Meng Da was refuted by Fazheng, he sobered up a little. Fazheng was his good friend. Although he was scolding him, he was helping him. Meng Da knew this well. Jia said, "My lord, I made a slip of the tongue after drinking, so don't take it seriously."

Guo Jia waved his hand casually, raised his wine glass and said, "I do intend to take the Sanfu of Guanzhong, but the time has not yet come. Now that Guanzhong is mentioned, let's talk about it. If I want to take Guanzhong, How to get it?"

Everyone in the hall put down their wine glasses, and Fazheng spoke first: "My lord, Chang'an is the place where the emperor is. No matter how many princes there are in the world, they are all officials in name. Confronting the Son of Heaven, otherwise it will be against the way of ministers, oh, of course, even though the lord is not a Hanchen at this time, I think that if possible, it is the best thing to get the title of the Son of Heaven in name. Shun, there is no doubt that you will lose. If the lord wants to take the three assistants, he must first avoid confrontation with the Han Dynasty. Only on this premise can he send troops to attack the three assistants."

Those who heard it all nodded and agreed with Fazheng's statement that they had no loyalty to the Han Dynasty, and most of the princes under the tents of the world did not have any loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Confrontation is not only contrary to righteousness, but also gives excuses to the princes.

"Xiaozhi's words are very close to my heart, but I want to serve the Han Dynasty in name, it's not waiting for me, Dong Zhuo once called for peace, I definitely can't follow Dong Zhuo, seeing Dong Zhuo's defeat, Wang Yun issued a call to crusade against me, alas, I can only watch Times have changed in the future.”

Guo Jia hated Wang Yun, and Wang Yun hated him too. After Lu Bu's entire army was annihilated, it seemed irrelevant. What matters is the development of the situation in the future.

Gan Ning bowed his hands to Guo Jia, and said calmly: "My lord, you need to look at the overall situation. If the emperor is alone, he will not be able to be safe in Chang'an. If the emperor is strong, he will be on the same level as the princes of the Guandong. My lord, there is always a chance to send troops to Guanzhong. , Lacking a strong cavalry, although Lu Bu was defeated, the power of the cavalry he led cannot be ignored. The defeat of Lu Bu was due to the location and people's schemes, and he will fight against a strong enemy in the future. A strong cavalry army is what the lord must have. "

Everyone nodded in agreement again, especially Zhang Liao. Although he had the upper hand in a confrontation with Lu Bu, he was very afraid of Lu Bu's cavalry. In another place, if it was an open battlefield, Lu Bu's cavalry could display their abilities from all directions, and the battle would not be easy. Under control, the mobility and power of the cavalry cannot be underestimated.

How could Guo Jia not know the importance of cavalry? Fortunately, Lu Bu's entire army was annihilated this time, and nearly [-] horses with only minor injuries were captured, which can be used in the battlefield in the future.

"Xingba, the horses captured in this battle will be handed over to you. Select soldiers who can ride and shoot well from the Jinfan Army, and form a new cavalry team. In the future, we will fight for supremacy in the world. If I don't have cavalry, I may lose three The odds are up."

Gan Ning didn't expect Guo Jia to ask him to train the cavalry. He thought he would let Gao Shun expand the cavalry in the camp, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to let him form a new cavalry unit.

The Yinling Flying Rider led by Gan Ning, who will become famous all over the world in the future, was formally established today.

Zhang Liao said thoughtfully: "My lord, if you want to take the Sanfu land in the future, you will inevitably have to confront the Xiqiang Zahu head-on. The Liangzhou army is also good at cavalry. How to restrain them is the top priority."

A complete army can only exert its greatest power when all kinds of arms are matched together. Guo Jia deeply believes that this is the same as Tian Ji's horse racing. Direct confrontation is essential, and restraining the enemy with superiority in arms is the most basic.

To defeat the cavalry, a fine bow and a strong crossbow are indispensable. Guo Jia asked Zhang Liao, "Wenyuan, the skilled craftsmen recruited from all over the country have been sent to Hanzhong for half a year. How is the progress of building a strong crossbow?"
