Lu's relatives

Chapter 452
The letters Guo Jia sent before and after were so different that Qin Xu noticed some clues.Who is Guo Jia?That is a character who is praised in poems as saying that Guo Fengxiao was born a hero.Qin Xu didn't believe that Guo Jia, who was able to help Cao Cao conquer half of the country in history, would be so tied up in Jiangdong.

Qin Xu and Guo Jia have known each other for a long time. It has been two years since they first met in Chenliu County and used a few gourds of court wine to "deceive" Guo Jia into Lu Bu's army.In the past few years, Qingzhou has experienced many dangerous situations, and Qin Xu has never seen Guo Jia ever feel worried.

Just such a man of great wisdom, but now he has no place to ask for help, so he had to send someone to ask for help when Qingzhou soldiers met Danyang soldiers and the outcome was unknown.What's more, among the various forces in Jiangdong, Sun Ce, the prefect of Yuzhang, was assisted by such talents as Zhou Yu. Mei Zhoulang's wise plan was at the top of the list of geniuses at the end of Han Dynasty. Major General Guo Jia caused some trouble, but if the disparity in military strength was less than shocking, it would probably be nothing more than trouble, not even danger.Zhou Yu is still like this, let alone other people.The letter actually said that Yan Baihu, Yan Yu and his son were attacking so fiercely that they had to order Guo Jia to guard Fuguan to prevent Sun's Taishi Cixingye from returning to Xiaoguan?Guo Jia's use of troops, is it possible that the two Jiangdong and the two mountains have no tigers and monkeys are kings?Qin Xu didn't believe it a hundred times.Intuitively, Guo Jia's two different letters this time must have his intentions.

Sure enough, after Qin Xu carefully read the letter sent by Guo Jia's order, he discovered the clue.What Guo Jia sent was not a silk book written on silk, but a regular wooden slip. The wooden slips were not big, but there were four or five columns of different lengths.In addition to the title at the beginning and a brief description of the battle, starting from the second column, the first sentence begins with "Send troops quickly to rescue, etc.", and the second column begins with "at most ten days of rations, etc.", The third column is "Loyal entrustment, dare not forget the king's kindness, never ask for it", and the last column follows the previous sentence, "Qu Yicun!" The letter of request for help is full of urging troops to be dispatched, as well as expressing that he is in a death situation and will not give in.But after all, Qin Xu is used to reading from left to right in future generations. At the first glance, he felt a little weird in his heart. Later, according to his current habit, after reading Guo Jia's letter vertically, he felt this weird feeling. As well as the admiration for Guo Jia's wisdom, Qin Xu finally saw some clues.

Hurry up to Danqu!It seems that the situation in Jiangdong is completely under control for Guo Jia, otherwise, how could he have the leisure to play such word games with Qin Xu.

Qu'a is the ancient name for the old land of Danyang in the pre-Qin period.Later in the Han Dynasty, Qu'a and Gu Danyang were assigned to Danyang County under the gimmick of Danfeng Chaoyang. In the Han Dynasty, Danyang County was also called Danqu.In Guo Jia's letter, he played such a game of hiding his head.

Speed ​​to Danqu.It is said that Guo Jia believes in Qin Xu, or is optimistic about Qingzhou soldiers.But obviously, this big brother didn't care about whether the tens of thousands of Danyang soldiers could successfully defend Guangling. Xu "arranged" the "task" for the next stage.

However, after Qin Xu stopped Zang Ba and others from going to rescue Guo Jia in a fit of indignation, although he saw that Guo Jia's letter was a small joke, it still had a hint of urging. Qin Xu knew that Guo Jia If there is nothing to do, it is absolutely impossible for him to be so bored that he sent letters twice in a row in such a hurry, and immediately ordered the whole army, including the Danyang soldiers, to stop resting. There were nearly [-] people in a mighty force, and they set off at high speed, aiming directly at Danyang county.

The speed of the march this time was much faster than before.Just now, the Qingzhou soldiers and Danyang soldiers, who were both dead or injured, seemed to have put in all their strength, and they might not have no intention of competing with each other in terms of footsteps in private.Even though the two armies are both infantry, they are marching extremely fast. Qingzhou soldiers are of course strong in stamina, but Danyang soldiers are masters who can rebel even their old master because of the news that Danyang suffered a military disaster. Going straight to Danyang, naturally they are not far behind, but they are evenly matched in this respect.Fortunately, the Mi family allocated food in time, and the Danyang soldiers collected and hoarded food in Guangling County before. Under such a hasty march, there was no situation that the soldiers could not keep up with the food, which is really a surprise.

In Danyang County, there are not many good ports.Of course, even if there were, Qin Xu didn't have so many ships capable of carrying nearly 5 people to "deliver food".After all, Danyang's ease of defense and difficulty of attack largely depends on its proximity to the river, which is also mostly mountains and hills, full of cliffs and cliffs. As long as there are enough arrows, it is completely a living target.The safest path right now is to take the old road, go up the river, cross the river and pass by Jiangzhu, which was once stationed before, and turn to Xiaoguan to enter.

Fortunately, Guangling used to be an important city to defend Yuan Shu and the Sun family from attacking. After Chen Deng succeeded as the prefect of Guangling, he knew that the center of gravity of Lv Bujun's attack was in the east of the Yangtze River, so he stocked up enough for the army to carry thousands of people across the river at a time. The boats, just like this, took more than half a day to assemble at Jiangzhu, and after the soldiers rested overnight, Cao Xing was ordered to lead five thousand Qingzhou soldiers from his headquarters to rush to Xiaoguan to investigate the area guarded by Liu Yao himself. Under the circumstances, Sun Guan and Yin Li were ordered to lead [-] Qingzhou soldiers to Wujun to obey Guo Jia's subordinates. Even though he knew that Guo Jia would be fine, Qin Xu was unwilling to make Guo Jia work too hard. It would be better to have more soldiers.If it hadn't been for the promise of the Danyang soldiers to go to Danyang earlier, Qin Xu would have planned to send all the Danyang soldiers to Wu County, so that Guo Jia could use them to resist Sun Ce.And Qin Xu left fierce men like Dian Wei and the Iron Triangle on his side. With [-] Qingzhou soldiers and nearly [-] Danyang soldiers as the central army, he will raise the morale of the soldiers while waiting for Xuzhou to open up the grain road. Make plans for the next step.The news that Cao Bao brought back here made Qin Xu somewhat understand Guo Jia's final intention.

Yamagoshi!It was the Shanyue people who attacked Xiaoguan and caused Liu Yao a lot of trouble!Qin Xu only remembered that in history, the Shanyue alien race once made Jiangdong's Sun family suffer. From Sun Jian to later in history when Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor, the Sun family, who was the lord of Jiangdong, did not completely eliminate the troubles in the rear.It is also one of the main reasons why the territory controlled by the Sun family has not been separated from the scope of Jiangdong from the beginning to the end.Therefore, it stands to reason that in the turmoil in Jiangdong, which is obviously controlled by the Sun family this time, the Shanyue people who have been feuding with the Sun family in history are the most unlikely to appear.

But in this time and space, I don't know what kind of means Sun Ce used to have an intersection with Yuzhang County, which is the closest to the area where Shanyue is active. While the father and son reconciled, the Shanyue soldiers were used to jointly target Lu Bu's army's Jiangdong strategy.

But the facts are already in front of us.If it is just the mob of the Yan family, lending them twice as many troops may not be able to cause any substantial damage to Xiaoguan, which Yuan Shu relied on as the Great Wall at the beginning.But if you add the tough Shanyue people who are best at running in the mountains this time, which has given Sun a headache for a lifetime, let alone Liu Yao's Wujun soldiers, it will be an equal number of Qingzhou soldiers. , Qin Xu is not sure that he can defeat it in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, according to the news from Cao Bao, although there were foreigners from Shanyue participating in the Xiaoguan battle, the number of people was only about [-].Presumably, it may be because the Yan family and his son are also wary of Sun Ce's intention to annex it, or because the population of Shanyue is not large, and it is impossible to accumulate too many troops to fight across the border.This can be regarded as a shock to Qin Xu, but he was really relieved.

After learning of this situation, Qin Xu also quickly adjusted his strategy.The reason why Liu Yao wanted to guard Xiao Guan in person was that on the one hand, he was awkward with Guo Jia and urgently needed to "prove" that he did not rely entirely on Lu Bu's army in battle; Xiaoguan is the most important pass in Wu County. Before the chaos in Jiangdong, Liu Yao, who was appointed as Yangzhou Shepherd by the Han Emperor, was really worried about repeating the same situation. The old affairs of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, his predecessor.Of course, although the latter words are true, they would never come out of Liu Yao's mouth. After all, there are quite a few Lv Bu soldiers in Yangzhou now. It was embarrassing to be blown away in Yangzhou, but this time he handled things a lot more smoothly.

But Liu Yao really overestimated his ability and Sun's determination to Jiangdong's plot.Xiaoguan is the most important gateway connecting Wu County to other counties in Yangzhou. In the original situation, Sun Ce could accept Qin Xu's "suggestion" and would rather put himself in the impoverished Yuzhang area than keep Sun Ce's The independence... (stand), is enough to see Sun's ambition.This time, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of Lv Bu's army was involved in the war in Hebei, at this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, Sun Ce would rather put aside his feud with Liu Biao for killing his father, and put all his family's fortunes on the back burner, even the momentary reputation. Even Shanyue's foreign race has also recruited, and the determination is so great that it can be seen.

With more than [-] Yan's own army and Yuan Shu's generals, the five thousand mountains are getting stronger and stronger. It's no wonder that Liu Yao can't hold on to such a formation.And Guo Jia must also know Liu Yao's embarrassment, but it may be that Fuguan was attacked by the Sun family, and it is true that there is no manpower to come back to help. The extremely ambiguous Yangzhou Mu, with experience and knowledge, even if the main force of Lu Bu's army is outside, he still has enough strength to wipe out Jiangdong.It is also to persuade Liu Yao to be more sensible and make a correct "choice".

Guo Jia's strategy of counting birds with one stone is to completely mix up Jiangdong!
