Chapter 146

In the face of Cao Cao's inquiry, Guo Jia, with an air of complacency, reached out and hammered his sour back. In other people's eyes, this action is disrespectful to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao asked, but did not answer.

Instead, he hammered his waist.

However, in Cao Cao's view, this is Guo Jia's true feelings. With a smile on his face, without any displeasure or impatience, he waited for Guo Jia's reply.

Guo Jia said: "my Lord, I think that attacking Zhang Xiu can start from two aspects."

Cao Cao said: "which two aspects?"

Guo Jia replied, "first, the frontal attack mentioned by general Xiahou just now."

"Our strength is stronger. If we don't attack Zhang Xiu, it will make Zhang Xiu suspicious and think that we have another plan. I suggest that we send a general to lead an army as a vanguard and go straight to Lushan first. "

"The Lord's army will follow."

"This step, on the one hand, is to attack Lushan, on the other hand, is to attract Zhang Xiu's attention. No matter from which aspect, this move is worth it. "

Guo Jia continued: "in the attack at the same time, the troops raided Luyang County by copying the path."

"If we attack head on, we can beat Zhang Xiu in one go, that's the best. This result will not be too troublesome. But in a short time, Zhang Xiu occupied Nanyang County and married the Pearl of the Pang family in Jingzhou. "

"Such a character is by no means simple."

"In particular, during her stay in Nanyang County, Zhang Xiu won the hearts and minds of the people

"It's hard to deal with such a person."

"We must send out a surprise force to bypass Lushan County and take the county seat of Luyang county from the rear of Zhang Xiu."

Guo Jia said: "the county seat of Luyang County, located behind the army of Zhang Xiu, is a place to store grain. When we have captured Luyang County, we can spread the news, disturb the morale of Zhang Xiu's army, and force Zhang Xiu's army to retreat. "

"At that time, Zhang Xiu will be defeated if the two armies attack each other."

"It's too simple to rely on the attack all the way alone. Only by making a surprise attack and winning by surprise can we be perfect."

Guo Jia put forward his suggestion.

"Wonderful, really wonderful!"

When Cao Cao heard the words, he nodded one after another.

He got along with Guo Jia for some time and found out Guo Jia's strategy style. Most of the time, Guo Jia's moves are unusual. His sword is not an open attack.

This is Guo Jia's style.

Cao Cao liked it very much.

Cao Cao turned his eyes, looked at the people in the camp and said, "what do you think, gentlemen

Xia Houyuan said: "Lord, I agree with you."

Originally, he suggested a strong attack, but Guo Jia suggested a strong attack, which was the most appropriate.

Yu Jin also said: "I agree with my humble position."

The rest of the generals, one by one, agreed and agreed.

At this time, a young man stood up.

Cao Cao is tall and straight, similar to his youth.

He went to the camp and said, "father, son, please fight. As commander Guo said just now, we need to send an army as a vanguard. My son is willing to be a vanguard. He will first arrive in Lushan County and find out about Zhang Xiu. "

He is Cao ang, the eldest son of Cao Cao.

Cao ang is now in his early twenties. He is very brave and brave, much like Cao Cao when he was young.

Just like this, he was highly valued by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took Cao ang with him in both big and small wars, and let Cao ang read the government affairs under his command, so that Cao ang could understand the government affairs.

"Lord, I am willing to be a pioneer."

Then another young man came forward.

Young age, slightly older than Cao ang, the figure is strong, rough, very brave.

His name is Cao Anmin.

He is Cao Cao's nephew and has a good relationship with Cao ang. He is a representative of the younger generation in the army.

When they asked for a fight, Cao Cao nodded.

Cao Cao was generous in helping the younger generation. He hoped that the younger generation would be familiar with the battlefield, so he said, "since you have taken the initiative to fight, I have given you permission. Cao ang is the vanguard general, and Cao Anmin is the deputy general. I'll give you another 3000 vanguard troops and go to Lushan first. "

"Father Xie!"

Cao ang and Cao Anmin looked at each other, their faces full of smiles and high morale.

This is their chance.

It is extremely difficult for them to have such an opportunity on the battlefield. There are many generals in the army, but in big and small battles, the main ones are veteran generals, and Cao ang and Cao Anmin are rarely involved.

As soon as Cao Cao's eyes turned, he swept the generals one by one, and finally fell on ban.

He trusted Yu Jin.

In the early period of the Three Kingdoms, Yu Jin was Cao Cao's absolute confidant.

Since Cao Cao established his foothold in Yanzhou, he has followed Cao Cao since he was banned. He has made great contributions and was once regarded by Cao Cao as one of the most famous generals in ancient times.However, after Cao, Liu and sun split up, Guan Yu led his army to attack Fancheng, and Yu Jin and pound rescued Cao Ren. In this war, Guan Yu flooded Fancheng, Yu Jin and pound were captured.

At that time, pound would rather die than surrender.

Pound was eventually executed.

In order to survive, Yu Jin chose to surrender and was finally imprisoned in Jiangling, Jingzhou.

After breaking the ban in Jingzhou, Yu was sent back to Jingzhou. At this time, Yu Jin lost the most important character of his ministers, that is loyalty.

He was sent back to the state of Wei by Sun Quan, humiliated by Cao Pi, and soon died of illness.

It can be said that Yu Jin was Cao Cao's absolute confidant in the early stage, even above Xu Huang and lejin.

Today's Yu ban is still highly valued by Cao Cao. He was serious, upright and serious. Under the command of Cao Cao, Yu Jin has always been famous for his strict military discipline.

Cao Cao said, "Wen Ze, are you sure you can win Luyang county?"

Yu Jin said: "please rest assured, the end will only need 3000 troops, will be able to take Luyang county."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "all the troops of Zhang Xiu are on the front line of Lushan, but there are not many troops in Luyang county. As long as general Yu quietly arrives in Luyang county and breaks all the soldiers into parts, he can easily mix into Luyang county and control the county. "

"Of course, General Yu may not choose to break the whole into parts. It can be deceiving the city or other ways."

"In a word, General Yu is flexible and can take Luyang county."

"When you take the county seat of Luyang County, you send someone to spread the news and send back the news of the fall of Luyang county. When Zhang Xiu learns about it, she is sure to be in a state of turmoil and even send troops to rescue Luyang county. "

Guo Jia said: "at that time, no matter whether Zhang Xiu retreats or not, we will attack Zhang Xiu. In the case of the fall of Luyang County, Zhang Xiu's morale is in chaos and will surely be defeated. "

"Don't worry, military strategist. Yu Jin understands."

Yu Jin nodded solemnly.

In the view of ban, although Zhang Xiu is powerful, their strength is also very strong, and they can completely crush Zhang Xiu.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "go and arrange it all."

"Here it is

Yu Jin, Cao ang and Cao Anmin retired at the same time to deploy troops and prepare to send troops.

XiaHouYuan also immediately retreated.

He will prepare to pull out the camp and lead the army to Lushan on a large scale.

In the camp, only Cao Cao and Guo Jia were left.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and said, "fengxiao, do you think there will be waves in this battle with Zhang Xiu?"

Guo Jia gently smile, confident way: "Zhang Xiu is really powerful, is a powerful role. But, after all, he is too young and insufficient to stop us. "

"In fact, if we carefully examine it, Zhang Xiu's" fierce "will not hold water. It's not surprising that he defeated the Huns, Liu Biao's generals and the yellow scarf thieves. "

"According to the current information, the counselors around Zhang Xiu are Xu Shu and Pang Tong."

"Neither of them has much experience."

Guo Jia continued: "I think that as long as the vanguard troops arrive in Lushan successfully, they will win the first battle. As long as you take Zhang Xiu, the Lord will take part of Nanyang County, and you can turn around and attack Xuzhou with all your strength. "

"When Xuzhou was pacified as soon as possible, the troops were transferred to destroy Yuan Shu in Yangzhou."

"At that time, the Lord will occupy half of the country and will be able to fight Yuan Shao. Now the relationship between the Lord and Yuan Shao is getting more and more tense, and it's only a matter of time before war begins. "

Guo Jia said: "moreover, the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan has gained the upper hand. Yuan Shao is pressing forward step by step and will soon win Gongsun Zan. The decisive battle between the Lord and Yuan Shao will be in the next three or four years. "

Cao Cao said, "what filial piety says is true."

In fact, Cao Cao also had great pressure. Although he controlled nearly three states, in fact, he was in a very difficult situation and could not spend freely.
