Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

"Ho..." Someone in the army shouted at the mountain opposite the Jialing River. There was an echo, and the army laughed. Everyone is in a better mood just after leaving the customs.

The road is not very narrow, but there are high mountains on both sides, and people can't look away from the valley. There is a kind of depression that is closed, and it feels very tight. There is a big height difference between the Dalu and the Jialing River. The road above can be paralleled by two horse-drawn carriages. The army walks on the mountain and has four people in a row. There is also an empty road outside for transportation.

Below the outside is the Jialing River. The water has not yet risen in the spring, exposing a riverbed covered with pebbles and stones. Horses can be raced on the river bed, so the retrograde messengers will pass by the river bed.

There is only such a big road, and the army stretches back and forth three or four miles, unable to go fast, and can only march for forty miles a whole day. The mountains on both sides are towering, the sun goes down very quickly, and you have to camp before you.

In the evening, the soldiers went to the riverside to fetch water and piled up rocks on the stove to cook. At this time, everyone divided the work and cooperated. Some people fetched water to cook, and some people went to collect firewood and fire... Guo Shao had an illusion, as if he were having a picnic. If it weren't for thinking about fighting, maybe this kind of journey is quite interesting.

This silence did not last long. The Shu Junjunzhai was not far away, and there was a battle before the next day...In the valley, the sound of fighting mixed in the rushing river was vaguely audible. On the riverbed, sergeants returned on horseback to report military information, and the main force has temporarily stopped advancing.

In the first battle, as Guo Shao expected, the strength of the Shu stronghold was weak, and the front army fought very smoothly with the strong bullying the weak. In three days, all eight battalions of the Shu army were pulled out.

Guo Shao sent a message to Li Dazhu: It is forbidden to kill prisoners. The military order only needs to be executed, without any explanation... Guo Shao's idea of ​​giving this order not only avoids the desperate consideration of the Shu army, but also understands in his heart: After all, it is a civil war. Why did the comrades who lay down their weapons slaughter them?

Of course this kind of remarks will affect the army's murderous spirit, he will not say it.

At dusk, Li Dazhu and others returned to the army, and the generals gathered together to listen to their bragging. Li Dazhu’s excitement has not ceased, and he said loudly there: "We got up in the morning, walked to the front of the Shujun Village, rushed on three sides, and rushed into the village. Haha. The battalion was ended here. The brother behind said that he won before seeing anyone. Before noon, I ignored the second command and led the people to move forward... I didn’t want to disobey the military order and asked. Luo Yanhuan, the lineup leader, nodded before continuing. When we walked to the second camp, we ate some dry food with the river water, and then took one away. This time the Shu army saw everyone rushing in and said nothing. I lost the weapon and dropped..."

Another military commander was there and talked: "The Shu Army is nothing but this, much weaker than the Northern Han Army and the Khitan Army. I rushed forward first, with ten soldiers each!"

Everyone said, they looked at Guo Shao sitting on the other side of the river...According to the habits of fishermen living by the water, the direction of the river is the upper position. Guo Shao seemed very silent at this time.

Winning the first game can naturally boost morale, and Guo Shao did not intend to pour cold water on everyone.

However, he stopped from the chaotic military affairs at this time, and gradually recalled the words and expressions of Wang Jing and others... Wang Jing and others seemed to feel that they were advancing and were not optimistic.

"General Guo, do you want to go straight to the mighty city?" Li Dazhu asked.

Guo Shaodao: "Strengthen guard day and night, and scout out. Set up camp at the Shu army camp on the spot. I will send someone to pass the order tomorrow.

Li Dazhu and others sternly clasped his fists and said, "Here."

Guo Shao's eyes swept across the faces of Yang Biao, Zuo You, Luo Yanhuan and others, and finally paused for a while on the face of the bearded Li Chuyun.

Guo Shao has inquired clearly about Li Chuyun’s resume from Luo Yanhuan. He followed Jie Shuaizhe to find work in the four states of Deng, Hua, Shan, and Yu. He is the eldest and courageous man with rich experience in military battles. . That night, Guo Shao invited Li Chuyun to meet alone in the army account.

Li Chuyun fell under his own account, but the first time Guo Shao went out together, Guo Shao said implicitly: "In Fengxiang, Wang Laojieshuai said that I underestimated the enemy and adventurously. At that time, I was thinking about combat strategy, and I was in the mood. Gu Shang was humble; Wang Jieshuai just said, and without any dissuasion, I took the order."

Guo Shao glanced at Li Chuyun with the light off the account, and then said solemnly: "I led the army into Qinling in the past two days, and the mountains on both sides made my heart depressed, and I gradually became a little flustered..."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Li Chuyun suddenly said: "Wang Jieshuai is old, he has already established a festival and entered the ranks of the servants. Those who have achieved fame only seek stability and have no edge. The same is true of Zhegong."

Guo Shao said: "What does Brother Li mean by this?"

Li Chuyun's tone was vaguely focused, and Guo Shao had the illusion for a while that he spoke like an elder. "Lord..." Li Chuyun said calmly, "The Shu army is unbearable for the battle, and the preparations are not enough to eat the elite Tigers. The worst situation in this expedition is to retreat."

Guo Shao nodded, his heart was slightly broad, and he asked: "In Brother Li's opinion, our first battle is so easy, shouldn't we immediately take advantage of the victory and approach the mighty city?" After a pause, Guo Shao whispered: "No As for me, the biggest battle I have ever commanded was in the town of Hatobu~www.readwn.com~ there were only a few hundred people in total."

Li Chuyun was silent for a moment: "The Lord's ambition is not small, you only need to do what you think is right. In the end, you will be willing to follow to the end regardless of success or failure."

...

What do you think is right? Guo Shao pondered in the middle of the night, and he thought about it. The people in Shu might not have expected that Zhou Jun would immediately launch a strong attack with the most elite troops when he arrived in Fengxiang, and take advantage of his lack of preparation to make a quick decision. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to spend in the Qinling Mountains.

Early the next morning, Guo Shao ordered the whole army to march towards the mighty city.

The valleys of the Shu roads vary in width, and occasionally there are wide valleys, and the population is denser to form villages or towns. Huanghua Valley is such a relatively flat and wide place...The army passed through Huanghua Valley, Luo Yanhuan looked for Guo Shaojin and said, "Are you staying to garrison?"

There is a road to the west of Guo Shaowang. According to the map drawn in the previous period, this road diverged in the past and all lead to Tangcang Town.

He sat and watched for a long time. Although the Yellow Flower Valley is wide, but there is no wall fortification, he said in a straightforward manner: "You don't need to divide the troops, set up a sentry point." Then he secretly ordered the two soldiers to stay at the Yellow Flower Valley sentry point. .

The army was unimpeded all the way, and the strongholds of the Shu army along the Shu Road fled after hearing the wind. Three days later, the main force of Guo Shao's tribe came to the mighty city, a few miles away. After exploring the horse, thousands of reinforcements from the Shu army went to build a fence outside the mighty city.

Half of the date when Wang Jing agreed to provide food was already half; most of the time was spent on the march.

Guo Shao immediately ordered a rest on the spot, reviewing the generals and said: "If this is the case, we will start the field battle tomorrow and defeat the Shu army!"

At this time, he has no choice but to fight quickly or retreat, otherwise he will run out of food or retreat... The preparation for the troop deployment is insufficient, and there is not enough food and supplies, but he judges the opponent hastily to fight; Guo Shao believes The risks of the enemy and ours are the same, which is considered even.
