three kings

Chapter 393
Guo Jia walked into his tent wearily, took off the cloak on his body, threw it aside, and meditated on the weak light.

As a courtier, being loyal to the Lord is the foundation of being a courtier.

Sun Can was restless because of today's defeat, which is naturally the same. He mused to the candle: "Cao Cao is the master's number one enemy. You must be cautious when dealing with this person, otherwise if the opponent seizes the opportunity, the consequences will be disastrous. Standing firm is not a countermeasure, capable people and righteous people from all walks of life are paying attention to this place, if the situation of the battle is not reversed, the reputation of the other lord will definitely drop..."

"Feng Xiao..." The curtain was raised by someone, and Zhuge Liang strode in.

Zhuge Liang is gentle and elegant, likes to make friends with people with lofty ideals, and is good at handling interpersonal relationships. Except for Jia Xu, everyone in the army gets along well, especially with Guo Jia and Xun Yu. Time is irreversible, there is no need to inform each other about trivial matters, usually Zhuge Liang would stop to inform to be polite, but today he seemed to have something urgent, so he walked directly into Guo Jia's tent.

As soon as the curtain was opened, there was a gust of weak wind.The wind was very small, and it just swayed the candles in the tent from side to side.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Guo Jia's mind. He stared blankly at the candle that Yu Yi had been watching, recalling the feeling at that time, his expression was so focused that he never heard Zhuge Liang call him.

He lightly blew on the candle, and saw the flame fluttering in the direction he was blowing, swaying non-stop, and when he stopped talking, he saw the flame rush towards him suddenly, and then Return to calm.

"I thought of it..." Guo Jia's expression suddenly brightened with a confident look on his face. He hurriedly put on his cloak and planned to go to Sun Can's camp.

Just took two steps, but saw Zhuge Liang standing in the tent.

"Hey! Kong Ming, why are you here?" Guo Jia was completely unaware of Zhuge Liang's arrival.

Just as Zhuge Liang was about to open his mouth, Guo Jia hurriedly said: "Don't talk about it, no matter what we are talking about later, I just thought of a plan, and it should be feasible. Let's go to the lord's place together, take part in the research for me, and see Is it feasible."

Before Zhuge Liang could react, Guo Jia followed Zhuge Liang and walked out quickly.

"My lord, I need to see you!" Guo Jia came outside the tent and reported to the inside.

Sun Can was also thinking about ways to defeat the enemy, so he didn't rest, and immediately invited Guo Jia to come in.

Guo Jia went straight to the point, "My lord, I have a plan to defeat Cao Cao."

After hearing this, Sun Can was shocked. He sat Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang together and gathered around the map.

Guo Jia checked the position of Cao Jun on the map, and said: "Cao Cao is camping here now, about [-] miles away from our army, and the cavalry will arrive in a short time. Tomorrow, my lord, let someone lead a cavalry army to surprise Cao camp, waiting to be attracted." After the opponent paid attention, he dispatched a troop to go around to the rear of Cao Ying and attack their rear area."

This is an ordinary strategy that cannot be used in the ordinary way, and it has nothing to boast about.

Therefore, Sun Can just frowned and didn't speak, waiting for Guo Jia's finishing touch.

However, after waiting for a long time, Guo Jia did not continue to speak, and said in amazement, "It's over?"

"It's over!" Guo Jia nodded seriously.

"This joke is not funny at all!" Sun Can stared at Guo Jia with a trace of irritation in his eyes.

"This is not a joke!" Guo Jia said solemnly: "This 'striking from the east to attack the west' is not clever, but there is one thing that can be used. Soldiers are also deceitful. If our army attacked Cao Ying by surprise, Cao Cao would definitely see the strategy of "strike the east and attack the west" and send an army to guard the rear. Here is a small fighter that is worth considering. The so-called "strike the west" means using surprise. There will not be too many soldiers. Similarly, it is impossible for Cao Cao to send a large army to support. But if we unexpectedly invest heavy troops in Cao Cao's rear, the most important thing is that we can definitely catch Cao Cao by surprise. At least, it is not a problem to wipe out the opponent's reinforcements .”

"Abandoning the camp and attacking with all our strength, this is not an ordinary danger! If the opponent sends an army to detour to our camp, wouldn't the food and grass of our 30 army be burned?" Sun Can took a deep breath. If the opponent is really like this, then he will definitely lose this battle.

"I really think it's worth a try." After listening to Guo Jia's plan, Zhuge Liang also expressed his own opinion. There are three points in total:

20. Cao Cao dare not fight hard with my army. After all, his strength is immature. The [-]-strong army is almost his lifeblood. Cao Cao will not fight a battle that kills [-] enemies and destroys [-]. Because he can't afford it.

[-]. Cao Cao has a suspicious personality. Even if he knows this flaw, he may not dare to make such a soldier unless it is a last resort.Because this loophole is too big, it is probably a loophole deliberately left by one's own side.

Three, false and true, true and false.The more noise we made, the more confused Cao Cao would be, and he couldn't guess what we meant in a short time. When he realized it, it would be over.

"Okay! That's the decision!" Seeing that Zhuge Liang also agreed, how could Sun Can, who has the mentality of a gambler, object?

"My lord, my subordinate also has a way to help my lord expand the results of the battle." Zhuge Liang pointed to the Hulao Pass on the map and said, "This is the pass connecting Sizhou and Yuzhou. This pass is in Cao Cao's hands for a day, and our army's The capital city of Xuchang will be more dangerous. If we can take this pass, then our army will have less danger when fighting against the Cao-Liu allied forces in the future."

Sun Can nodded thoughtfully. The only thing he was afraid of at the moment was the Cao-Liu coalition army. Once they gathered the army with Sizhou with the same enemy, he would fall into a passive situation.Especially the existence of Hulaoguan, it is too close to his capital, but it is in the hands of the enemy, the enemy can attack Xuchang all the time, how can this make him feel at ease.

However, if Hulao is in his hands, the danger of the Cao Liu coalition army will be greatly reduced.

Sun Can's army controlled the Yellow River Basin, and no one on the water was an opponent of Sun Can's water army. The Yellow River was very safe with Zhou Yu, so the only breakthrough for the Cao Liu coalition army was Sizhou.Sizhou can not only attack Jingxiang Fortress, but also threaten Xuchang, which is his confidant's trouble.However, as long as Hulao Pass can be taken, then Hulao Pass will be the best barrier against the Cao Liu coalition forces.

But Cao Cao also realized this, and let Cao Ren, who is the best at defense, guard this place very firmly.Not long ago, he asked Zhao Yun to lead an army to attack this place, but with Zhao Yun's ability, he couldn't shake the tiger prison even with all his efforts, so he had no choice but to let Zhao Yun stop the attack and retreat to stand by.

Sun Can said, "Tell me about your method."

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "My subordinates believe that the strength of the Hulao should be attacked by one side, which must be fifteen times stronger than the defenders. But if we can attack from within, taking the Hulao is as easy as turning the palm of our hand."

"First of all, my lord, let General Xu Huang lead the army to join General Zhao Yun, and make an intention to storm Hulao Pass. Liu Bei is an ally of Cao Cao, and there are capable and righteous men under his command. He must be aware of the importance of Hulao Pass. Therefore If my predictions are not bad, Liu Bei will definitely not ignore things and harass our army's defense line from time to time. At that time, we can justifiably ask Governor Zhou to implement a blockade of the Yellow River, and pull out a blockade line in the Yellow River Basin to stop Liu Bei's actions. "

"But what does this have to do with Hulao Pass?" Sun Can frowned. Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia are two extremes.Guo Jia's strategy has a certain degree of danger while obtaining the maximum benefit. It is a strange strategy that seeks out of danger, but Zhuge Liang's strategy is like playing chess. He holds everything in his hands, step by step, and makes people It was impossible to see his intention until the end.

"Of course it has something to do with it!" Zhuge Liang said with a calm smile, "When Governor Zhou blocked the Yellow River, Liu Bei could not detect the movement of our army, and the patrolling navy could also secretly bypass the Hulao by the Yellow River. As long as the number of people If you don't have many, you won't be discovered. One hundred times, one thousand times ten times. Two times a day, ten days later, there will be two thousand troops. The tiger prison is seen by the mountains, surrounded by mountains and mountains, hiding 2000 people completely not a problem."

"There are only 2000 people? Even if the strategy is successful with 2000 people, they will not be able to capture Hulao if they attack from both sides." Sun Can had seen the strength of Hulao Pass when he was in the princes' alliance.

"Rules! There is a rule in everything." Zhuge Liang did not deny Sun Can's words, and continued: "Especially in the army, there must be an iron-like army. No matter what the situation is, this rule cannot be changed. The so-called three armies have not arrived. Grain comes first. The lord should be clear about the importance of food. There must be an iron-clad rule for its delivery time. As long as you understand this rule, you will cut off the food in advance, and then pretend to be them and mix into Hulao Pass. As long as you enter the pass, Taking Hulao Pass is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand."

"But Cao Ren is a careful person, it's not easy to catch him." Guo Jia asked with a smile, he knew Zhuge Liang's character, he must have a way to solve this problem.

Sure enough, Zhuge Liang said, "This is not a problem. According to my visits over the years, I found that Cao Jun's grain transportation is delivered every [-] days. As long as we attack Hulao Pass in turn the day before the grain transportation team arrives at Hulao Pass , a fierce attack regardless of casualties. With the talents of Generals Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, they will definitely be able to force Cao Ren to be restless and distracted for a moment.

The next day, when the food and grass arrived, Cao Ren was exhausted physically and mentally. How could he have the energy to resist Zhao Yun and Xu Huang's onslaught without casualties, and at the same time care about whether the food delivery team was normal? "

Zhuge Liang shook his lupine, smiling very confidently.
