Chapter 774: The ultimate plan
It is said that the Chang'an navy led by Huang Gai and Guo Jia has crossed the Luoyang Yellow River section and entered the Chenliu section of the Yellow River, which is known as the "terrestrial river". This section of turbid river water not only has the allusion of Wang Ben flooding the beams, but also the famous strategic point of Guandu.
Yuan Shu's army, who was fighting against Cao Cao in the south, had naturally detected that the Qinglong Army had crossed the Yellow River waters, and was naturally trembling with fear. Fortunately, the Qinglong Army did not seem to have any intention of attacking Luoyang with Cao Cao's army, so Yuan Shu was happy to pretend not to see it, and only monitored closely. It's just a Blue Dragon Army warship.
The fate of Zhang Liao, the famous general of the Three Kingdoms, was to meet the Qinglong Army at this moment. On the Qinglong Navy warship, Huang Gai, the commander of the first legion of the Qinglong Navy, and Guo Jia, the first military advisor, were present. Zhang Liao and Cao Xing came on board, and naturally informed Chen Liu of the latest situation. From Guo Jia's mouth, Zhang Liao learned that Lu Bu had left the Qinglong Army and was missing, and he couldn't help being surprised.
Zhang Liao and Cao Xing temporarily stayed away, while Guo Jia ordered people to serve them with tea and wine, so that they could entertain them well. The two family members were detained in Chenliucheng. Although they were anxious, they knew that they could not eat hot tofu in a hurry, so they had to rest and freshen up for the time being. Huang Gai personally walked outside the door and watched Zhang Liao and Cao Xing go away in the corridor. Then he walked back to the command cabin and asked Guo Jiadao: "Master, Zhang Wenyuan is here to surrender. Is it true or false?"
Guo Jia held his head and smiled slightly: "Commander Huang, I am not a god, how can you tell that?" This title of Commander Huang was usually used by Chen Long when he made fun of Huang Gai during his military training. Guo Jia learned and used it vividly. I can't change my words anymore.
Just when Huang Gai was angry about it, Guo Jia laughed and said: "But you will know whether it is true or false once you try it, so Commander Huang doesn't need to worry."
Huang Gai immediately became energetic and said: "I know that the military advisor has many ideas. Please tell me how to proceed?"
Guo Jia touched his palms and said confidently: "According to what Zhang Liao said, the two of them just escaped from Chenliu yesterday, so in addition to tracking their troops, Cao Pi's army must also be looting in the city." Guo Jia said this because Cao Jun has always had Cao Pi simply couldn't restrain the tradition of looting after breaking the city.
Huang Gai nodded in agreement, and Guo Jia's eyes shone with wisdom and said: "Guandu! It's Guandu! If it's a trap, it's in Guandu!" Guandu was originally the most important ferry from Chenliu to Jizhou, and Cao Pi would never give it up if he wanted to cross north. ,
Huang Gai is also a man who is well versed in military strategy. After Guo Jia's prompting, he immediately understood and nodded: "The military advisor said that if Zhang Liao pretended to surrender, he must have already arranged the defense of Guandu before he came to seduce us. The arrangements on the shore It must be an iron wall, and it must make it impossible for us to come back."
Guo Jia looked at the confident Huang Gai with approval. Since Huang Gai accepted the influence of his lord, he has indeed made rapid progress in military strategy, almost comparable to the Confucian general Zhou Yu.
Huang Gai continued: "Let's use our strategy and divide our troops to attack Guandu. If Guandu is empty, we will capture it in one fell swoop. If Guandu has some arrangements, Zhang Liao will undoubtedly surrender." After saying that, he glanced at Guo Jia and saw that he was shaking his head steadily. Beard, knowing that he had no plans, stopped and looked at Guo Jia.
Seeing Huang Gai's big eyes flashing frequently, Guo Jia seemed to be waiting for his approval. He smiled and nodded: "If the other party deliberately faked the official crossing to make us believe that Zhang Liao was not faking his surrender, then the mastermind behind this would be terrible." His heart suddenly tightened. The Qinglong Army did not know much about Cao Pi's civil servants and generals during this expedition. They could not know themselves and their enemies. Then they were relieved. There are several masterminds in this world who can have such profound wisdom.
If Guo Jia knew that Sima Yi and he were the same masterminds, he might not feel so relaxed. Huang Gai saw Guo Jia's expression change and knew that Guo Jia's brain was running fast, so he didn't dare to disturb him.
In a moment, Guo Jiadao said: "I only heard that among the advisers around Cao Pi, one is Wu Zhi and Wu Jizhong, the other is Sima Yi and Sima Zhongda, one is just coming out of the thatched cottage, and the other is an ignorant young man. They are all not well-known. Even if they have some strategies and experience, If you feel inadequate, don’t worry if you get public justice.”
Huang Gai finally felt relieved, thought for a while and said, "Please ask the military advisor for instructions on how to send troops."
Guo Jia held his forehead and said: "Wei Wenchang is holding down the rear army. The forward can send young general Fu Tong with more than a dozen small boats and more than a thousand people to bluff Guandu. If Guandu is empty, they can easily capture it, and then the rear army can land and consolidate the south bank. Position. If we encounter a strong enemy, Wei Wenchang will lead the troops to respond, and still board the ship and retreat to the north bank of the Yellow River to camp. This kind of test can ensure the minimum loss, and can also detect the intentions of Zhang Liao and Cao Xing."
Huang Gai nodded in agreement, and then asked in confusion: "Military advisor, Wen Chang, Fu Tong, they all have things to do, and they have forgotten about me?" Guo Jia laughed and said: "Of course there are more important things, and Gongfu must personally take action. "
Huang Gai looked at Guo Jia in puzzlement. Guo Jia stopped pretending and said like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube: "Gongfu, think about it. According to what Zhang Liao said, Cao Pi detained the families of their generals in prison, just like they were hostages. Generally speaking. If these hostages are used to force Zhang Liao and Cao Xing to surrender, it is unknown. Zhang Liao and Cao Xing may be forced to have no choice but to feel dissatisfied."
"What we have to do is to fight for the hostages, which can also be said to be the bottom line. If we can really rescue the hostages successfully, maybe Zhang Liao and Cao Xing will be able to join the Qinglong Army with all their heart. In other words, their families will become our The hostage can win the hearts of Zhang Liao and his generals and truly serve the Lord."
Huang Gai understood and said happily: "Go to the prison to rescue the hostages. It is really me who is responsible for this!"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Cao's army has just captured the city, and it is full of ambition, satisfaction and arrogance. According to the practice of Cao's army conquering and slaughtering the city, I am afraid they are busy burning, killing and looting, for fear that they will not be able to grab the money if they start too late. Cao Pi never expected that we would be there that night He dared to go deep into the enemy's cave and send a small force to rob the prison. If it is true that the public saw that Zhang Liao and others' family members were detained in the prison, it would also confirm Zhang Liao's true surrender."
The more Huang Gai listened, the happier he became. He raised his thumbs up and praised Guo Jia: "The great military advisor really has a plan! I didn't expect Wu Jizhong and Sima Zhongda to wash the feet of the military advisor!" Guo Jia laughed loudly after hearing this, which was rare. Showing a hint of pride, after all, Guo Jia is only twenty-two years old now, and is still just a green onion. Where did he come from so many cities?
After the two of them laughed, Guo Jia continued: "Fortunately, I brought forty people from the Lord's special forces to act as our bodyguards, and they are just in use now. Let's see how many people we need to bring with us?"
Huang Gai thought for a while and said: "Every member of the special operations team is worth one to a hundred, and twenty should be enough, otherwise the target is too big; even if something happens, twenty people can still escape in a fight. In addition, there is always It would be best if one of Zhang Liao or Cao Xing leads the team, they must be very familiar with the location of the prison in the city."
Guo Jia nodded and said: "Gong Fu's consideration is right. It's better to separate Zhang Liao and Cao Xing. Gong Fu and Zhang Liao will lead people to rescue the hostages, and let Cao Xing take Fu Tong to sneak attack Guandu. If they separate the two, they will also You can't play any tricks. If there is any deceit, you can kill it immediately."
Huang Gai nodded and ordered the guards: "Go and invite Generals Zhang Liao and Cao Xing. Then send someone to notify Deputy Commander Fu Tong and Commander Wei Yan to come for a meeting."
After a lot of fuss, the battle plan for that night was finally drawn up. Cao Xing received a Qinglong Army three-shot repeating crossbow, which was very novel. After using it, he repeatedly praised it. It was indeed a high-tech weapon. He happily went with Fu Tong. Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he knew that the Qinglong Army was going to take risks to rescue the hostages. He changed into black night clothes early and waited for the sky to darken before setting off. Huang Gai turned his palm, and a standard dagger of the Qinglong Army appeared in front of Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao was an expert in weapons. He suddenly saw that the dagger seemed to have a slight rainbow, and the blood groove was deep and thick. He couldn't help but said with joy: "What a dagger!" He took it. Thanks a lot, I have gained a new level of respect for Huang Gai, and I also have a better understanding of the advanced weapons of the Qinglong Army. Regarding Huang Gai's military arrangements, both generals agreed without any objection.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
