Chapter 77 Plan ahead

.Chapter 77 Preparing for the Future

Wang Yun issued a manifesto in the name of the emperor to attack Guo Jia, which was a crime of rebel against Guo Jia'an. Should it be, right? No, but Guo Jia must be low-key at this time. He is at the forefront of the storm and cannot act voluntarily. He has the strength to enter Chang'an, but he does not have the ability to resist the attacks of various warlords in Liangzhou and the Guandong princes. The most important thing is that at this time, except for the people under his rule, the people in other places are resistant to Guo Jia. As the saying goes, over time, Guo Jia must first give the stage to the Guandong princes to attract the attention of the people of the world, and secondly, rest and wait for the time.

After the battle, Lu Bu was the most important thing to clean the battlefield and burn the body as soon as possible. It is necessary to deal with it completely, just to prevent the occurrence of plague.

From the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the population of China plummeted. In addition to war, the most important thing is the outbreak of plagues. Natural disasters and war deaths caused countless plagues. Some were inevitable due to medical conditions in the times, while others were ignored by humans. Guo Jia repeatedly ordered that the bodies must be cremated after the war. However, if any of the people died suddenly, they must be isolated and disposed of in a timely manner. Subsequent observations should be made to prevent the problem from escalating.

Guo Jia also wanted to find Hua Tuo, a miracle doctor who traveled around the world. However, no matter how skilled Hua Tuo's medical skills are, it would not be possible to change the times. Even if he is a scholar, he would not succeed in his medical attainments in a short period of time. Therefore, he could only do his best to leave his will and open medicine in hundreds of schools to the best of his ability. However, after all, the status of doctors is not high, and the academic field is profound, and those who want to make a name for themselves are very small to choose medicine.

When the other princes were surprised by Lu Bu's defeat, Cao Cao was not concerned and said to Xun Yu, "Guo Jia has countless capable people, and it is unbelievable if Lu Bu is not defeated."

Indeed, in terms of the troops put into the battlefield, the Taiping Army was almost twice that of Lu Bu. In terms of military generals and strategists, the Taiping Army was far more than Lu Bu. Lu Bu's 40,000 troops were wiped out, and the Taiping Army was only thousands of them lost. From beginning to end, there were no generals in front of the formation. This is a war to compete for strategic and tactical military use. Guo Jia's unreasonable importance of not winning talents was best explained.

If there is no one in front of the battle general, Lu Bu can stop him, will the winner of the battle general win? That is simply a fantasy. Fighting generals are usually when they meet on a narrow road and there is no tactical design. When the generals want to defeat the morale of the opponent by fighting the general, will the two generals still spend time with the risk of their lives?

Not to mention that Lu Bu is invincible in the world when he fights against generals alone, even if he is a shrimp soldier and a crab general, Guo Jia will not let Zhang Liao and Gan Ning and other generals foolishly fight against generals, because he knows that the abilities and talents of Zhang Liao and Gan Ning and other generals are not just that martial arts.

He led his army back to Hanzhong to rectify the troops. Guo Jia rewarded the three armies in Hanzhong and distributed the food, grass and supplies he seized from Chen Cang as rewards to the soldiers.

The prefect's mansion held a banquet to celebrate the victory. Guo Jia sat in the main seat and exchanged cups with the civil and military officials in the hall, and personally toasted every general.

It is said that life is full of joy. The atmosphere at the banquet is high, and the military generals and strategists drink happily, laughing and laughing, but this ordinary wine tastes like drinking water, which is really not enough to enjoy.

Just at this moment, someone outside the hall came in to report: "Report to the lord, the Zhen family sent ten altars of drunken immortals to congratulate the great victory of the old Tao."

Everyone in the hall was stunned. After hearing this, Guo Jia was delighted and said to Zhang Liao who was sitting in the front row of his hand: "Why are Wen Yuan waiting for?"

Zhang Liao laughed and stood up and ordered the soldiers to bring the Zuixian wine in. Ten wine jars were placed on the ground. Guo Jia ordered: "Take six jars for the soldiers outside, and leave four jars."

In the courtyard of the prefect's palace, the low-level generals in the army were also drinking, but they could not drink the Zuixian at all. When Zhang Liao commanded his subordinates to carry the six altars of Zuixian into the courtyard, Zhang Liao said loudly: "This is the famous Zuixian wine that the lord rewards you to you."

The soldiers stood up and clasped their fists towards the lobby and said in unison: "Thank you lord."

After thanking, some generals who were greedy for wine were impatient to unblock the seal of the wine jar. A strong aroma of wine came to his nose. The general who had never drunk the drunk immortal stooled a bowl in one mouthful, and then choked and snot and tears sprayed everywhere, causing everyone to laugh.

Although the alcohol ban was issued, it was not a prohibition on drinking, but it was not allowed to brew wine in Yizhou. It was to stock up on food and prepare for war and famine. The Zhen family had a lot of inventory of Zuixian wine. Before Guo Jia started, he had to sell it, but now he could only drink it carefully.

With the drunk immortals to cheer up, the atmosphere of the banquet became even higher, and only Gao Shun smiled and used tea instead of wine to express his joy. This was not Gao Shun's disappointment. He did not drink alcohol on weekdays and did not receive gifts, and was a general who kept a clear mind at all times. This was his principle. Guo Jia would not force others to do anything, but admired Gao Shun very much, and did not lose his gratitude, and Guo Jia was not as good as Gao Shun in this regard.

Meng Da raised his glass to Guo Jia with three points of drunkenness and said, "Lord, Lu Bu returned after his defeat, and the remaining troops in Guanzhong are vulnerable. Why not take advantage of the victory and take over the land of the Three Auxiliary in one fell swoop?"

Fa Zheng, who was sitting on the other side, frowned slightly, trying to scold Meng Da for not talking nonsense. The land in Guanzhong was indeed something that Guo Jia could take down, but it was difficult for Guo Jia to gain a foothold after taking down. From the long run and the timing, it was not a good opportunity to get the three auxiliary.

He was afraid that Guo Jia would be impulsive when he was drunk, so he was worried that Guo Jia would lead his army to attack Guanzhong. But before he could speak, Guo Jia smiled at Meng Da and asked, "Why did Zidu want me to take Guanzhong?"

Meng Da immediately replied: "The people of Guanzhong are suffering, but the lord's rule is in a state of peace. In order to resolve the difficulties of the people of Guanzhong, the people left their hometowns and moved to Yizhou. The lord took down Guanzhong and returned the blue sky to the people."

"Zi Du, don't talk nonsense. How can the war start just by saying that? Chang'an is the capital of the Great Han Dynasty, which is extraordinary. Don't miss the lord's great cause. At this time, sending three auxiliary troops will have disadvantages but no advantages." Fa Zheng seriously refuted Meng Da's proposal.

After being refuted by Fazheng, Meng Da sobered up a little. Fazheng was his friend. Although he was scolding him at this time, he was helping him. Meng Da knew this very well. He put away his smile. Meng Da hurriedly said to Guo Jia: "Lord, I made a mistake after drinking, so I should not take it seriously."

Guo Jia waved his hand lightly, raised his glass and said, "I do want to take the three auxiliary places of Guanzhong, but the time has not come. Since we mentioned Guanzhong, let's talk about it. If I want to take Guanzhong, how should I take it?"

Everyone in the hall put down their wine glasses, and Fa Zheng first said, "Lord, Chang'an is the place where the emperor is. No matter how many princes there are in the world, they are nominal Han ministers. If the lord does not want to confirm the name of a rebel, you should not oppose the emperor, otherwise you will be disobeyed. Oh, of course, even if the lord is not a Han minister at this time, I think that if it is possible, it is best to get the emperor's imperial seal in name. The so-called "unrighteous name will not be followed, and you will definitely lose. The lord must first avoid opposition to the Han Dynasty. Only under this premise can the troops be sent to capture the three servants."

The listeners nodded and agreed with Fazheng's statement that they were not loyal to the Han Dynasty. Most of the princes in the world were not loyal to the Han Dynasty. However, the Han Dynasty had not yet perished and was openly confronting the Han Dynasty, which not only violated the righteousness, but also gave the princes excuses.

"What Xiaozhi said is very consistent with my heart, but I want to nominally serve the Han Dynasty, and it is not waiting for me. Dong Zhuo once invited me. I can't follow Dong Zhuo. Seeing Dong Zhuo's defeat, Wang Yun issued a manifesto to attack me. Alas, I can only see the changes in the future."

Guo Jia hated Wang Yun, and Wang Yun hated him, which seemed irrelevant after Lu Bu's entire army was wiped out. What is important is the future development of the situation.

Gan Ning bowed to Guo Jia and said lightly: "The lord needs to look at the overall situation. The emperor's power will not be stable in Chang'an. If the emperor has a strong power, he will be in the same state as the princes of Guandong. The lord always has the opportunity to send troops to Guanzhong, but the lord lacks a powerful cavalry under the lord. Although Lu Bu was defeated, the power of the cavalry he led cannot be ignored. The defeat of Lu Bu is to plot against others due to the advantage of the location and to compete with the strong enemy in the future. A strong cavalry army is something that the lord must have."

Everyone nodded again to agree, especially Zhang Liao. Although he had the upper hand in confrontation with Lu Bu, Lu Bu had cavalry, which made him very afraid. If there was a place where Lu Bu's cavalry could display his abilities from all directions, the situation would not be easy to control, and the maneuver and power of the cavalry should not be underestimated.

How could Guo Jia not know the importance of cavalry? Fortunately, Lu Bu's entire army was wiped out this time, and nearly 4,000 war horses with only slightly wounded injuries were seized, which could be put into the battlefield in the future.

"Xingba, I will leave the war horses seized in this battle to you. Choose soldiers who can ride and shoot from the Jinfan Army and form a new cavalry team. In the future, I will fight for the world. If I don't have cavalry, I may lose three-point chance of winning."

Gan Ning didn't expect Guo Jia to ask him to train cavalry. He thought that Gao Shun would re-expand the cavalry in the trapped camp, but he didn't expect that Guo Jia asked him to form a new cavalry unit and clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "The last general will obey the order."

The Yinling Feiqi, which was famous all over the world, was officially established today.

Zhang Liao said thoughtfully: "Lord, if you take the land of the Three Auxiliary in the future, you will inevitably confront the Western Qiang Zahu head-on. The Liangzhou army is also a master of cavalry. How to restrain them is the top priority."

A perfect army can only exert its maximum power when combined with all kinds of troops. Guo Jiashen believes that this is the same as Tian Ji’s horse racing. It is a truth to attack the enemy with his own strengths and defeat the enemy with his own weaknesses. However, the direct collision of the army is essential, and it is the most basic to restrain the enemy with the advantage of the troops.
