King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 379

"Is that why the general buried the corpses of his soldiers in order to prevent the epidemic?" Guo Jia asked with a smile.

"Yes!" The soldier nodded, and at this moment, the guard sent by Yu Jin came back and clasped his fists at Jin and Guo Jia.Said in a deep voice, "General and military adviser, the last general has asked more than a dozen elders who left the camp today, and they all said that Zhao Jun never carried dry food with him!"

"That's true!" Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he said to Jin Gongshou, "Thank you, General, for solving my doubts! General Xu, let's go!"

"Ah?" Just like that, Yu Jin watched in a daze as Guo Jia and his party got on their horses and galloped away. This... rode their horses for dozens of miles and came here in person just for such a question?Yu Jin obviously couldn't understand, what exactly did the military division want to do?

Sacrifice.Abandoned!Sure enough, as I expected, I sneaked downstream.It's just a cover-up to confuse our army!Sure enough, the spirit of forcibly crossing the Yellow River is serious.The purpose of setting up a fortress is to come here, and the soldiers of this army will definitely carry dry food with them. From this, it can be seen that the soldiers and horses on this route are only to disturb our sight and make us think that he is going to cross the downstream by force. The target is still the middle reaches of the Yellow River, where our army's main camp is located!
But... how would he cross the river?Is it really so daring to want to build a pontoon bridge under our noses?Our army only needs one rocket, how can the bridge survive?It can be seen from this that he must want to attack when we relax our defenses and are weak!Weak defense, only at night......

But in just one night, how can a pontoon bridge be built for soldiers and horses to pass through?The Yellow River is no better than Yingshui. I'm afraid it's not enough for just one night, right?Looking at the wide river, Guo Jia sighed.

"Military Master, you have been looking at this place for two full hours. You can see that it is almost sunset and pointing at the sunset!" Xu Chu beside Guo Jia said with a strange expression, and stood on the bank of the Yellow River for two or three hours. , not talking, nor doing anything, just looking at the river blankly, anyone would secretly mutter in their hearts.

"Really, has it been two hours?" Guo Jia said with his hands behind his back, heaving a long sigh and shaking his head. "But there is still one thing I can't figure out... I can't figure out how to build a pontoon bridge overnight!"

"What is it that the military master can't figure out?" Xu Chu subconsciously asked, hesitated, and then asked, "If the military master doesn't dislike the stupid general, the general... the general..."

"Hehe, is it possible that General Xu wants to help me solve the problem?" Guo Jia said with a light smile.

Dare dare Xu Chu scratched his head, and said awkwardly, "The military master's strategy is superb. Even the military master can't figure out this matter. How can the general dare to boast? It's just that the general thinks that if the military master has something on his mind, he might as well talk to the general... ...Maybe the strategist will be able to come up with a clever plan while talking about it!"

"Hehe..." Guo Jia laughed dumbly, shook his head and said with a smile, "How can there be such absurd things in the world?"

"Hey!" Xu Chu scratched his head in embarrassment and blushed and said, "Actually, the general just wants to hear what kind of problem makes the military division so frustrating..."

"You!" Guo Jia shook his head and smiled...

What a simple and honest person!Guo Jia chuckled lightly, shook his head and said, "General Xu, has he ever seen a lot of troops cutting down trees on the other side?"

"Well, it's been a few days." Xu Chu nodded and said with a smile, "Could it be that Liu He still wants to build the pontoon bridge under our noses? When the enemy stands on the pontoon bridge, our army only needs a rocket. Tell him to ruin his work for several days, this... what is it called a soldier and a half..."

"Soldiers hit him halfway through! Hehe. General Xu also knows the art of war, so he is really a great blessing!" Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Hey." Xu Chu scratched his head and said naively, "Mr. Wen Ruo once said that if you want to be a commander, you must learn the art of war, otherwise you can only be a vanguard. But I, Xu Chu, can't read all the characters. How can I learn the art of war? Hehe, Let’s be the vanguard! Military advisor, you can call me Zhongkang, my lord once said, gentlemen, if you tell one strategy you have in mind, you can reach [-] soldiers!”

"Haha, good, good! Zhongkang is really a wonderful person, since that's the case, don't call me a military adviser, just call me a filial piety!" Guo Jia laughed.

"This is impossible!" Xu Chu shook his head and said repeatedly, "I, Xu Chu, is a martial artist, how could this be the case? It's better to call a military advisor!"

"Zhongkang's words are inappropriate. Why can't you call me when I can call you?" Guo Jia persuaded, but no matter how much he persuaded, Xu Chu just kept shaking his head, and Guo Jia smiled helplessly in his heart.So he went with him.

He briefly shared his thoughts with Xu Chu and other people present.Then Guo Jia smiled and said to Xu Chuyeyu, "Does Zhongkang have any countermeasures?"

"Hey, there are no military advisers, how can a stupid general think of it?" Xu Chu smiled sarcastically.

"You, you!" Guo Jia smiled, and then said with a sigh. "Let's go, I will return to camp!"

"Yes!" Xu Chu responded with a fist, glanced at the other side, and muttered, "Speaking of which, Liu Hena is so stupid, he cut down all the trees near the camp, and our army can see at a glance the movement of his camp. Is it?"

"Huh?" Guo Jia, who had walked a few steps, stopped, turned his head to look at the other side, and asked, "Is the army still cutting down trees?"

"That's right, look at it, military commander!" Xu Chuyao pointed at one place and said, "This army doesn't know what kind of tricks it has been doing. After cutting down the trees for two days, the pontoon bridge was only built at one end..."

Seeing Guo Jia staring intently at the opposite bank, she remained silent and pursed her lips. Xu Chu laughed and said, "In my opinion, if the construction speed is kept at this rate, Liu He will not be able to build the pontoon bridge in ten days!"

"Zhongkang!" Looking at Liu He's main camp in the distance on the other side, Guo Jia asked intently, "Is it true that the forest has been felled for two days?"

"Yes!" Xu Chu nodded heavily, and said with certainty, "This is what General Cao Hong said. He goes out of camp to inspect the Yellow River every day, and he can hear the sound of tree felling from the other side. Both!"

"There are at night?" Guo Jia's heart trembled, and he said secretly, at night?If this is the case, I am afraid that Liu He is rushing to work day and night, what is rushing?Logging?Or... secretly build a pontoon bridge!
No, if a pontoon bridge is built, the place will be empty. Unless it is hidden in the camp, it will definitely be seen by me. However, if it is hidden in the camp and moved to the river at night, it may take more than several hours to go back and forth If the patrolling soldiers of our army see it, this plan will fall short... I have a feeling in my heart that the plan will not be so shallow. Although I don't know what method you want to use to build the pontoon bridge, I do understand your purpose , you want to take advantage of the night to take down the main camp of our army and win the first battle!In this way, I can also use tricks!
Guo Jiayou thought for a long time on the spot, "Gulu..." A discordant voice came out, Guo Jia looked back, and it turned out that it was from Xu Chu's side.

Xu Chu smacked his lips, and patted his disappointing stomach. The military division is thinking of a strategy here, and your stomach interrupts it, really!

Guo Jia looked at Xu Chu's embarrassment and laughed, "I've been thinking about it but forgot to check the time. It's a crime for the general to wait for so long!"

Xu Chu also knew that Guo Jia was being polite, so he quickly said, "The military commander is thinking hard about strategies, and I don't dare to disturb you, so what is a little hunger?"

Guo Jia smiled and patted the simple and honest Xu Chu, and said, "Okay! Let's go! Ji Ce has already thought about it, let's go back to camp!"

"No!" Xu Chu cupped his hands, and then followed Guo Jia back to the camp. When Guo Jia arrived in the camp, he was not in a hurry to see Cao Cao, but went straight into a side tent...

"Wen Ruo! How have you been these few days?" It turns out that this is where Xun Yu is. This time, Cao Cao is in critical condition. Although Xun Yu has just recovered from a serious illness, he insists on following the advice of others. Here we come, and when we reach the Yellow River, we fall ill again...

"Ahem... Feng Xiao, so-and-so's health is fine, how is the lord?" Xun Yu didn't have the time to think about his body, so he hurriedly asked Guo Jia about Cao Cao's situation.

"This... Liu He is very powerful, and the lord is also in a state of distress, but..." Afterwards, Guo Jia told Xun Yu what he thought in his heart. In fact, when Guo Jia came to Xun Yu, he just wanted to I want Xun Yu to discuss countermeasures to prevent any omissions...

"Okay! Now that Liu He's plan has been seen by Feng Xiao, then we have a plan to deal with Liu He. Feng Xiao's plan is feasible, but Feng Xiao, I will perfect it for you. Feng Xiao's plan focuses on defeating the enemy. , and now that Liu He has a large army, defeating the enemy can't hurt the vitality of Liu He's army at all. Liu He can make a comeback after a month's rest, how about this..."

"Wonderful! Wen Ruo's resourcefulness is not as good as it is! But Wen Ruo, this chess move is a little dangerous..." Guo Jia praised Xun Yu's strategy after hearing it.

"Cough cough..." Xun Yu said for a long time, then coughed again, and he took a breath, his chest heaved up and down for a long time, much calmer.

"Feng Xiao, the food and grass in the camp now..." Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia with red eyes.

"Wen Ruo...you too...you also discovered..." Guo Jia was startled at first, then thought about it, with Xun Yu's wisdom, how could he not have thought of it?
"My lord, in all previous wars, I always worried about food and grass. This time, it was a battle of near death. If there is no problem with food and grass, then Liu He is not worried about food and grass. Our army is 30, and the Zhao army has at least [-], so I say , Feng Xiao's success or failure this time will depend on this food, so Feng Xiao, no matter whether a certain strategy is dangerous or not, must be used!" Xun Yu said with his eyes wide open.

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded, saying, "Okay! Okay! Let's follow Wenruo's plan..."
