The only drawback is that Zheng County does not have geographical advantages such as Hangu Pass and Wu Pass.

The small county town walls are not high and thick, so it is no problem to accommodate Guo Jia's 30,000 to 40,000 troops, but they definitely do not have any advantage in defending the city.

After just leading his army to Zheng County, Guo Jia issued the first military order to expand and revise the defense facilities of the county.

If the city wall is not high or solid, then repair it.

There is no moat outside the city, so it doesn’t matter, dig a trap for horses.

The soldiers who had just arrived in Zheng County were busy, and there was a busy scene inside and outside the city.

The people in the city have temporarily moved to Chang'an for refuge. Guo Jia stayed in the government office in the city. At this time, he was gathering in a ecstasy to stare at the maps of Zheng County, Hangu Pass and Wu Pass.

The Fa of the Hall was looking at Guo Jia's back, silent, waiting for the orders at all times.

"Are the craftsmen in place?"

Guo Jia asked calmly without turning around.

After hearing this, Fa Zheng replied: "All of them have been in place and will be supervised by General Gao. It is expected that the lord's mission will be completed within two months."

Guo Jia nodded softly and then did not answer again.

Soon, Xu Chu came to the hall with a piece of intelligence. After seeing Guo Jia, he directly submitted the urgent report sent by Zhang Liao to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia took it and opened it. After reading it, he handed it to Fa Zheng, and he fell into deep thought.

Fa Zheng and Xu Chu also thought about it after reading the information.

"Yuan Shao and Cao cào attack Hangu Pass together? Oh, it's a perfect match. If I am Cao cào, if the big flag is in Hangu Pass, I will send out a surprise attack on Wuguan. If I am Yuan Shao, I will be divided into two groups of troops, and both sides raised the banner of Yuan's name to confuse the enemy's sight. Wuguan is in danger, Xu Chu, go and call Gan Ning for me."

Guo Jia was not afraid at all. No matter which general uses troops, he could not present his own strength to the enemy in a real way. The real and the most wise. Whether it is a skinny or a wise man, he would be a little bit like that.

It’s like the big banners between Yuan Shao and Cao cào are both in Hangu Pass, and Guo Jia predicts that there must be a fraud.

It is nothing more than a situation where Hangu Pass is attacked by heavy troops, and then unexpectedly takes down Wu Pass.

Although the four great passes in Guanzhong and Wu Pass are not as good as Hangu Pass, they cannot be easily broken in a moment.

After a moment, Gan Ning, who was in a stunning posture, came to Guo Jia, bowed his fists and waited for the call.

The 30,000 Jinfan Army, 10,000 was led by Wu Ban and Meng Da in Fufeng to prevent Han Sui and Ma Teng.

There are still 20,000,000 for infantry, and 10,000 for Yinling Flying Cavalry.

Whether it is Wu Pass or Hangu Pass, the terrain is dangerous in the east and flat in the west.

Since it is not a plain and the roads are not open, there is very little room for cavalry to play.

"Xingba, you immediately lead your army to reinforce Wuguan. The Yinling Flying Cavalry stays. I will ask you to take away 10,000 infantry. In less than three days, a large army will be besieging Wuguan. Half a day before you lead your army to Wuguan, you must first raise your strength. After entering Wuguan, the first thing you have to do is to ask Pang Tong whether he can send troops to fight first. No matter who the generals are besieging Wuguan, even Cao cào himself may not have expected that I dare to send troops to fight. Of course, if Pang Tong opposes, this surprise attack tactic will be abandoned."

Yuan Shao and Cao cào were invading Guanzhong with more than 200,000 troops. People in the world thought that Guo Jia could only be a turtle with his head at this moment, using the advantage of the pass to resist the enemy. If he could protect himself, he would burn the incense. Thank God.

Guo Jia insisted on going the other way. In the early stages of the war, his attitude of fighting and defending did not come into the hearts of Yuan Shao and Cao cào. ​​They must have preconceived ideas that they came to attack and Guo Jia could only defend. Therefore, the people who could really perform surprise attacks in the first battle were not Yuan Shao and Cao cào, but Guo Jia.

Pang Tong knew about the enemy situation in Wuguan, and he must be more detailed than Guo Jia. If Pang Tong did not support this tactic, it means that things could not be done, and Guo Jia would not insist on doing it alone. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. Today's decision may be a day or two in the future, the situation facing the situation will be completely different.

Gan Ning took the order without any hesitation.

He led 10,000 invaders Xiong Taotao left Zheng County angrily and rushed towards Wuguan in the southeast.

One and a half days later, Gan Ning led his army to less than half a day away from Wu Pass, so the soldiers could rest for half a day before entering Wu Pass at night.

When Pang Tong and Yan Yan saw Gan Ning leading their troops to aid, they were overjoyed to come out to greet each other.

Without caring about washing away the dust, Gan Ning came to the hall wearing armor and directly asked about the situation on the east side of Pang Tongwu Guan.

After Pang Tong and Yan Yan looked at each other, Pang Tong asked in surprise: "The cavalry who delivered the letter was only whipped to Zheng County early this morning. How did General Gan learn that a great enemy was attacking in the east of Wuguan? Could it be that he met the cavalry who delivered the letter on the road?"

Gan Ning's face was as deep as water, shook his head and said, "The lord guessed that Wuguan would face a great enemy two days ago

i, I ordered me to lead my army to aid and asked me to ask the military advisor to fight against the enemy?"

Pang Tong was dumbfounded. In the emergency report he sent to Guo Jia, he was asking for troops to come and help.

Wuguan is on a relatively flat high ground in the canyon, with the high and steep Shaoxi Mountain in the north and the dangerous side of the south. The city of Guancheng is slightly square. Each east and west is one mén, and is wrapped in bricks and stones. The terrain of Guanxi is relatively flat, but only when you go out to the east, you can go across the mountainside and cross it. The cliffs are high and the valleys are deep, and it is difficult to move. Therefore, Wuguan is a must-fight place for ancient military strategists.

At this moment, a large army had gathered in the deep valley at the foot of the mountain to the east of Wuguan. The word Xiahou was written on the flag of the commander. It was obviously Cao cào's soldiers and horses. The troops were reported by the explorer, and the soldiers were between 30,000 and 70,000.

There are 10,000 troops in Wuguan, led by Yan Yan, and Pang Tong is in charge. According to Pang Tong's view, it is easy for Wuguan to defend the city of Guancheng, but the best opportunity now is a surprise attack, so he sent a urgent report to Guo Jia, requesting reinforcements, and striving to win the first battle and defeat the enemy's edge.

It is not that Pang Tong cannot use the 10,000 defenders in Wuguan, but that Wuguan cannot lose money and he cannot afford the risks. If Wuguan is lost, Hanguguan will become isolated and helpless, and the enemy can drive straight into the three auxiliary forces.

Therefore, whether it is Hangu Pass or Wu Pass, the city of Guan City cannot be empty. It is okay to fight for surprise attacks, but it is necessary to ensure that the city of Guan City cannot be missed after the surprise attack is ineffective. Therefore, the ten thousand defenders of Wu Pass seem to be stretched to play Pang Tong.

What Pang Tong did not expect was that Guo Jia could predict the enemy first when he was a hundred miles away, and he coincided with him.

"Okay, the lord is as expected as a god, and this battle will be won."

Pang Tong couldn't help but feel a little moved, but his smile instantly froze a little, and he asked in a deep voice: "General Gan, you have led your army to march for a few days. Do the soldiers still have the strength to fight against the enemy?"

Even if the Cao army did not expect Guo Jia to send troops to attack, at least they had an absolute advantage in terms of number of people.

If the army led by Gan Ning is weak and cannot kill the enemy in one go, this surprise attack tactic will probably be greatly reduced.

Of course, things can be treated differently. If the Jinfan Army is tired, then this surprise attack will only be able to retreat with one blow. The number of enemies that can be killed depends on the opponent's ability to adapt to the situation.

Gan Ning smiled and said casually: "This lord has already made arrangements. Before entering Wu Pass, I ordered the soldiers to rest for half a day. Now I am full of energy and have more than enough to kill the generals and kill the enemy."

A series of joy made Pang Tong unable to even speak. After a little admiration for Guo Jia, he discussed with Gan Ning and Yan Yan's strategy of leaving the city to rob the camp in the middle of the night.

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were stationed in the deep valley east of Wuguan.

Today is the second day of their arrival. The valley is full of grass and trees. They led 50,000 troops to camp in the valley. They have been stepping up the construction of defensive measures in the past two days.

It’s a pity that there were few rocks where they stationed their troops. It took a long time to erect the solid walls outside the camp. Just the next day, several camp tents had been laid, but the solid barriers around them had not yet taken shape.

At night, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan brothers stood outside the camp, looking out of the west with their hands behind their backs. The towering Wuguan could be seen standing on the high city of Guancheng.

"If you really fight Wuguan, the casualties may be terrible."

Xiahou Yuan was inspired by his feelings.

The Taiping Army is waiting for labor with freedom. The Cao army is a tired army. The Taiping Army is a guard and the Cao army attacks. This is to attack on the back, which is not good.

There is no way to go on both sides of Wu Pass, and you stand in a cross-path and are both condescending. If you want to conquer this heroic pass, if there is no strange plan, the war loss will be unimaginable.

The weather in the chuntian was cool and pleasant. Xiahou Dun's face was as deep as water, without any movement. Instead, he said indifferently: "My lord never had the intention to attack Wuguan from the beginning to the end. We stationed troops here to intimidate Wuguan. After Hangu Pass was broken, it would be easy to get Wuguan. However, huh, even if we fight Wuguan now, 30,000 people are enough."

Hangu Pass and Wu Pass are in a corner. If one loses, the other will be dangerous, and Guanzhong's defensive system will collapse at the same time.

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan led their troops this time, with some loss and helplessness.

They were surging in fighting, and Cao cào turned a blind eye.

Perhaps most military generals believe that victory belongs to the surviving side on the battlefield.

But Cao cào, or Guo Jia, believes that those who live longer are the ultimate winners.

If Cao cào did not instigate Yuan Shao to attack Guanzhong today, in his opinion, perhaps as early as one and a half years, or as late as three years, if Yuan Shao led his army south, he would undoubtedly die.

With today's Guanzhong Battle, Cao cào was sure that he would have no worries within at least three years, and in three to five years, he might have the strength to kill Yuan Shao.

Only by looking far can one live longer.

There is no need to explain to your subordinates what you think and do. If you are a minister, you should worry about your ministers and work hard. The strategist can guess Cao cào's thoughts, but he will not say it out loud or spread it everywhere.
