Chapter 107 Three-point human plan

Chen Qun came and left in a hurry. When he arrived in Chengdu, he met Guo Jia. After talking about the important matter, he left Cao Cao's two daughters and followed him on the carriage and embarked on the way home.

Two hundred miles away from Chengdu, Chen Qun's carriage suddenly stopped. Next to the official road in the wilderness, there was a carriage that had been here for more than two days.

Man Chong got off the carriage and got into the carriage where Chen Qun was.

At this moment, Chen Qun, who was sitting in the car, was calm and composed, and was completely different from his fearless and nervous performance in front of Guo Jia.

After the two of them had their eyes intersected, they gave each other a proper look, Man Chong whispered: "There are only Zhong Yuanchang who is left to encourage Han Sui on the three sides of the matter."

Chen Qun raised his lips lightly and said in a deep voice: "Han Sui's ambitions. If Ma Chao and Guo Jia jointly attacked the Central Plains, how could Han Sui be lonely? The battle in the Central Plains is approaching, and Guanxi just wants to reap profits. Guo Fengxiao, you are too naive."

Two carriages slowly set off on the road and returned toward the Central Plains.

Cao Xian and Cao Jie are two pawns, but Guo Jia cannot face them with a cold attitude.

In the backyard of the mansion, Guo Jia and Zhen Jiang were watching the two delicately dressed little girls in the corridor. Guo Jin held the bamboo slips and told them stories, but Cao Jie still had tears and uneasy fear on his face.

The two sisters showed completely different attitudes. Cao Xian was a little calm. Cao Jie was crying sadly for several days, as if he was living under someone else's roof. Even if the child cried, he would be silent.

"Husband, is this OK?"

Zhen Jiang was deeply worried. As a mother, she felt sad about Cao Xian and Cao Jie's fate, and she also wanted to be tolerant and accept them. But after all, they are Cao Cao's daughters and Guo Jia's enemy's daughters. Zhen Jiang was afraid that these pair of girls would affect Guo Jin's future. Zhen Jiang could not treat other people's children before her own.

"They are victims of troubled times. I hope you can treat everyone equally and not be prejudiced against them. Ten years later, if they want to marry Jin'er, they will marry, and if they don't want to, they will decide on their own."

Guo Jia hugged Zhen Jiang and sighed.

Even if they are Cao Cao's daughter, they may not have a deep impression of Cao Cao at this age. Ten years later, when they grow up, they will choose their freedom. Guo Jia doesn't force anything. This political marriage only requires a symbolic meaning. Cao Cao and Guo Jia did not turn against each other. The marriage represents the sincerity of the friendship between the two families.

Is Cao Cao wishful thinking and whether Guo Jia will ignore his sincerity? In fact, the two monarchs have answers in their hearts.

Just like Guo Jia's tried and tested strategy, Cao Cao sent Chen Qun to marry in a humble manner. Who can deny it? Isn't this a strategy for Cao Cao to paralyze Guo Jia?

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's envoys visited one after another, but they were inconsistent in their methods and goals. They all hoped that Guo Jia would watch the situation and not disturb their battles.

Guo Jia agreed to Yuan Shao and accepted Cao Cao's marriage proposal, but he still had to do the work he should do.

Jia Xu, who had been idle for more than two years, was suddenly called by Guo Jia to go to the military camp together.

The military camps in Chengdu are the places where the guards are stationed. The selection conditions for the guards are relatively harsh. First of all, there are no outsiders. Their responsibility is to be responsible for the safety of Chengdu and Shu County. Therefore, their families all live in Chengdu. This is a generous treatment offered by Guo Jia, and only by letting their homes be in Chengdu. When Chengdu is in crisis, the combat power of these soldiers will be further improved and they will truly protect their homes.

Badong and Hanzhong each had 50,000 naval troops, plus 40,000 soldiers and horses under Zhang Yan. In the past two years, Yan Yan also recruited 40,000 new troops in Hanzhong.

In Guanzhong, Zhang Liao had 60,000 soldiers and horses, Gao Shun led 4,000 camps, Xu Chu had 5,000 soldiers and horses, but now it has expanded to 10,000, Dian Wei's Tiger Guard has also expanded to 10,000, and the Yinling Flying Cavalry was temporarily handed over to Wu Yi. Due to the scarcity of war horses, the northwest war horses have been in a state of shortage of supply. Guo Jia only expanded the Yinling Flying Cavalry to 15,000 in two years through various channels.

There are 100,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong and 200,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou.

Jia Xu accompanied Guo Jia on the side of the military camp, and the soldiers were still practicing hard. Guo Jia sometimes looked at the soldiers and sometimes looked up at the sky, as if he was worried.

"Is the lord considering how many troops to lead to the Central Plains?"

Jia Xu asked softly.

In fact, Guo Jia had to consider a lot of things at this time, but to fight the Central Plains, the key is how many troops to lead. If you plan to win a thousand miles, the source of confidence is the number of troops and the strength of combat.

Guo Jia stopped and turned around, stared at Jia Xu, and asked lightly: "I sent 100,000 troops, can I sweep across the Central Plains?"

After thinking for a while, Jia Xu said, "How many troops will be taken by the lord depends on the result of the decisive battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. The best time to attack the Central Plains is when the war is about to settle. As long as one side shows signs of defeat, the lord can advance eastward at that time. Yuan Shao won, and the lord's lord's 100,000 troops may not be able to do anything. Cao Cao won, and his troops will lose no less. He had just experienced a great war. The lord's 100,000 troops were overwhelmed by the lord's 100,000 troops were caught off guard. However, Cao won and Yuan lost, the chance of this result... "

Guo Jia wanted to fight in Guandu, and his goal of marching his army eastward would be Cao Cao.

Hebei is far away and Central Plains is near.

Yuan Shao was defeated and would not leave any pieces of armor.

Cao Cao is defeated and may never turn over.

Guo Jia, who had only 300,000 soldiers and horses, was considering the number of troops sent by 100,000, and even Cao Cao's troops were not as good as Cao Cao's.

Therefore, Yuan Shao led 700,000 troops south. If he defeated Cao Cao, Guo Jia would die if his 100,000 troops left.

If Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, there would definitely be no casualties. Moreover, the three armies were exhausted after the war, and Guo Jia's 100,000 elite troops swept through the Central Plains without any effort.

Jia Xu had a plan in his mind to offer to Guo Jia, so he spoke: "It is better to take advantage of the opportunity of marrying Cao Cao and form an alliance with Cao Cao. In the early stage of the Yuan-Cao War, the lord helped Cao Cao. When the battle was stalemate, Yuan Shao showed signs of defeat, the lord could change the target and put Cao Cao to death."

This trick is vicious, and it is even more despicable

If this strategy is adopted, Guo Jia will break his trust in the world and will be criticized countless times.

But as long as he gets the Central Plains, Guo Jia can take advantage of the victory and take the Jingzhou and Yangzhou into his pocket in one year. In that case, the world will change its masters and become a founding king who is scolded without trust and righteousness. It is not necessarily a bad thing.

The only one who scolds Guo Jia will be Guo Jia's enemy. If you clear the enemy, what else can you worry about?

If Yuan Shao is defeated and Cao Cao dies, who will Guo Jia, who is in the prime of his life, fear?

Liu Biao? The dying person.

Sun Ce? Can the six counties compete with half of the country?

Guo Jia never claims to be a kind and righteous gentleman. He just puts a moral cloak on himself with his actions, making people look comfortable and envious. He will not look back when it is despicable.

After Guo Jia thought about Jia Xu's plan, he looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Did Wenhe expect Cao Cao to be defeated?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Yuan is strong and Cao Cao is weak, Yuan Shao has higher chances of winning than Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao has more troops than Cao Cao. I don't think Yuan Shao will win, but I also hope that the lord can prevent Yuan Shao from winning."

There are many factors for the victory or defeat on the battlefield, the situation is treacherous and changing rapidly. Jia Xu cannot guarantee who wins and who loses, but once Yuan Shao wins, Guo Jia's situation will be in danger.

After swallowing the Central Plains, Yuan Shao was definitely not the only one who could compete with Yizhou and Guanzhong Guo Jia.

In order to prevent this situation from happening and take the initiative to hold fate in your own hands, Guo Jia should take the initiative to guide the development of the situation. This is Jia Xu's view.

The matter of watching the success or failure of the fisherman is profitable is not as simple as dreaming. Guo Jia is planning, so did Yuan Shao and Cao Cao just ignore it?

Now that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are in conflict, I am afraid that except for the loyal civil and military officials who are loyal to Cao Cao, Cao Cao is capable of competing with Yuan Shao, most of the others have very pessimistic views on Cao Cao's prospects.

In history, Guo Jia and Xun Yu both supported Cao Cao. Whether it is ten wins and ten defeats or four wins and four defeats, objectively analyzing the situation between the enemy and us is the main point, but it is certainly an exaggerated element that boosts morale.

If Cao Cao was defeated, Cao Cao's supporters, civil officials and military generals, even if they surrendered to Yuan Shao, would probably not be as good as Cao Cao's position, let alone Xun Yu, who firmly believed that Cao Cao could achieve a prosperous world.

Jia Xu asked replies without answering: "Why did the lord expect Cao Cao to win?"

If Guo Jia didn't firmly believe that Cao Cao would win, then he wouldn't have wanted to wipe out the Central Plains just by bringing 100,000 troops.

With such a few soldiers and horses, even if they are elite soldiers and generals, can they decide the situation of the battle compared to Yuan Shao’s 700,000 troops and Cao Cao’s nearly 150,000 troops?

The premise that these 100,000 soldiers and horses can play the greatest role must be Cao Cao's victory, regardless of Yuan Shao's life or death, at least Yuan Shao's troops will withdraw back to Hebei. In this way, Guo Jia's 100,000 elite troops can occupy an absolute advantage to sweep the Central Plains.

Jia Xu was deeply worried, afraid that Guo Jia would make a mistake this time. He had been waiting for the fighter opportunity for several years. If it passed through his fingertips like this, it would be a regret of the Lord, and even an impact on his life.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other for a while, suddenly smiled faintly and said relaxedly: "Cao Mengde will win, this, Wenhe you don't have to argue with me. Cao Mengde does not have the advantage of time and place, and the city massacre has been ruined. He has made up his plan to make a living today. Although his troops are few, people infinitely underestimate his chances of winning. In my opinion, Cao Mengde should have a five-point chance of winning."

The Wuchao Fire, which decided the victory and defeat in the Battle of Guandu, burned all Yuan Shao's military rations. Before that, the confrontation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was actually incomparable.

Guo Jiasi thought about it over and over again, considering the variables in this war, Xu You's surrender to Cao, Zhang He's back to the master, and Yuan Shao's resourcefulness and lack of determination and other factors. He felt that the direction of the Guandu battle would not be deviated from history, so he believed that Cao Cao would win.

Even if Guo Jia doesn't consider these things, he only has 300,000 troops, and the number of troops he can bring to the Central Plains is very small. If he insists on intervening in the battle between Yuan and Cao before the victory or defeat, he will probably end up stealing the chicken and losing the rice.

"I hope the lord's expectations are correct."

Jia Xu did not refute Guo Jia. Since Guo Jia had made a decision, he would no longer persuade him. His plan was not absolutely successful, but just gave Guo Jia a choice.

As for war, it is just three points to strength, three points to human planning, three points to fighting spirit, and one point to God's will.
