Chapter 784: The Sorrow of Filial Piety
Even with Fengxiao's supreme wisdom, he didn't expect Sima Yi's counterattack to be so sharp. Although Guo Jia had prepared to retreat into the warship at any time, Guandu was unsafe to defend. Coupled with Hu Zun's unexpected ambush, Guo Jia was forced to a dead end.
Guo Jia is extremely intelligent and charming, but his character is not forbearing. It can also be said that he would rather bend than bend. Under Hu Zun's spear, Guo Jia's guards had been killed and injured. Guo Jia thought of all the past events with Chen Long, and sighed slightly in his heart: "In this life, I will meet the Ming Gong and reach the supreme high position. I will obey my words and my wishes will be fulfilled." He closed his eyes and urged his horse to leap into the rolling darkness. In the rapids of the Yellow River, there was no trace in an instant.
Hu Zun did not expect that Guo Jia would not surrender. Although he beat his chest and stamped his feet, it was too late to regret. Hu Zun had no choice but to mount his horse and join forces with Fei Yao and Dai Ling.
Guo Jia was in the rapids, floating and sinking, and was gradually suffocated by the turbid waves. There is a vast expanse of white in front of me, as if it is under the underworld, and it also seems to be the light of the past. Guo Jia's body became heavier and heavier, but his mood became infinitely lighter. His soul and body gradually separated, and his body fell into the abyss, while his soul floated up to the blue sky in search of a glimmer of light.
Just between light and darkness, on the edge of life and death, suddenly the shadow of a small boat floated over, and a person jumped into the water with a splash. He held Guo Jia's armpits with both hands and brought him to the surface. Immediately, someone on the boat dragged the two of them. Get on the boat. Guo Jia drowned and fell unconscious. The man rubbed his chest and abdomen, and a mouthful of dirty water spurted out. His airway suddenly became clear, and he coughed loudly. The person who rescued Guo Jia sat down heavily on the side, panting from exhaustion.
Guo Jia narrowly escaped death and slowly opened his eyes. Several people on the boat immediately gathered around and shouted to the military advisor. When Guo Jia heard that it was one of his own, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He raised his eyes and recognized one of them, and said hurriedly: "Wen Yuan, you saved me!"
It turned out that it was also a coincidence that the person who rescued Guo Jia was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan who escaped from the pursuers after rescuing the hostages. Because the ship could not carry many hostages, Huang Gai and the hostages were still hiding somewhere on the shore. Zhang Liao took a few people in a small boat upstream to find a larger ship to rescue them, and unexpectedly rescued the dying Guo Jia.
The two of them told each other about their experiences, both of them were in tears. Zhang Liao didn't expect that Guandu was defeated and lost, and even the great military advisor Guo Jia almost died, so he was even more stunned. But Zhang Liao was not a fool, but a scheming general. He immediately said: "Commander, wait until we find a big ship before we can prepare to respond."
Guo Jia naturally understood what Zhang Liao meant and nodded reluctantly: "What Wen Yuan said is true. What I am most worried about now is Fu Tong and Wei Yan. The loss of Guandu has cut off their escape route. If they are forced to retreat to the bank of the Yellow River, Without a ship to pick you up, it’s a dead end!”
Zhang Liao immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. Fu Tong and Wei Yan could be said to have been deeply surrounded by Cao Jun. He couldn't help but took a breath and said: "It's time to rescue them immediately!" At this moment, Guo Jia's voice came softly: "Cao Jun Who is so powerful inside!"
Zhang Liao suddenly remembered a person. This person was right behind Cao Pi. He seemed to have heard someone mention it before, and he replied blankly: "It should be Sima..."
Guo Jia was slightly startled, and the distant memory seemed to come back to his mind, and he said with an audible sound: "A few years ago, my lord told me that if I encounter someone named Sima Yi on the battlefield, I must be extremely careful. Could it be this Sima?" ! My lord is truly a god!"
After saying this, he said with great regret: "If I had not been cautious enough and knew myself and the enemy, I would never have let many brothers die." After saying this, he beat his chest and cried loudly: "If I had known that this Sima was here, I would never have used troops so rashly! "I was so angry that I spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Zhang Liao quickly comforted and advised: "For the current plan, we have to find a big ship first, and then we can contact Huang Gongfu and General Wei Wenchang. It will be safe to pick them up on the ship!"
Before he finished speaking, a giant ship appeared leisurely in the mist. The blue dragon on the tooth flag was looming. His subordinates pointed and said happily: "Strategy, this is our warship!"
Zhang Liao couldn't help but take a deep breath and said happily: "It's the path of heaven and earth! The Qinglong Army is truly blessed by God!"
Then one by one, warships emerged from the dark mist like ghosts in the sky. It was the sky that hid the warships. If it was clear and sunny, it would probably be difficult to hide the warships. His men told the ship to lower the rope, Zhang Liao carried Guo Jia on his back, and climbed up in a hurry. Guo Jia immediately ordered Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, I have to make you work hard. Quickly guide the fleet to berth, and you can find a secluded place while the fog is thick. After arriving at the shore, we found that the troops were divided into two groups. One group took the hostages to the barge on the shore. The other group immediately set off to find the two generals Fu Tong and Wen Yuan on the battlefield and guide them to the shore to escape. I ordered the big ship to drop everything. The boat is moored on the shore waiting to be picked up."
Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "Take the order!" Then he turned around and jumped into the boat again. The few who followed him were mostly members of the Qinglong Special Forces, who were usually well-trained. Although Zhang Liao had just arrived, under the instruction of the military advisor, he had already regarded Zhang Liao as the leader.
Guo Jiaqiang supported his body, which had just vomited blood, and conveyed the order for the fleet to berth and the boat to dock. After some fuss, Guo Jia felt dizzy. He hurriedly helped the table to sit down, and his men hurriedly Said: "Military advisor! You can take a rest first!"
Guo Jia shook his head and ordered: "Get paper and pen quickly."
After removing the pen and paper, Guo Jiaqiang resisted the urge to vomit blood, wrote a text in Dot Chuo Chuo, packed the envelope, and ordered one of his subordinates: "Take this letter and go to Puyang immediately. Find Military Advisor Zhou Buyi or General Yan Liang, Order them to cooperate and fight as written in my letter to meet Cao Pi and Sima Yi who are about to cross the river."
When his men took the letter and were about to leave, Guo Jia ordered again: "If Military Advisor Zhou asks where my army is stationed, just tell me the Yanjin area on the north bank of the Yellow River. After setting up camp tonight, I will naturally send someone to contact Military Advisor Zhou."
After the man agreed, he turned around and was about to leave. Guo Jia shouted again: "After you conveyed the news from Zhou's military advisor, you don't have to come back to us. Go directly back to Chang'an to find Xun You and Xu Shu, the two military advisors, and tell Cao Yuan what I said." Yuan Shu will be defeated in the war. Capturing Luoyang is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." The man hurriedly handed over his hand.
Guo Jia's eyes were empty, looking at the figures of his men leaving in a hurry, and finally relaxed. As soon as I relaxed, my whole body started to hurt. I felt extremely tired and just wanted to cover my head and fall asleep. This defeat hurt him greatly and gave Guo Jia an indelible first impression of Sima Zhongda. Send people to Chang'an. If Xu Shu and Xun You decide to send troops, it will inevitably cause an even more chaotic war in the Central Plains. The Qinglong Army is insufficient in strength and may not necessarily be able to win. But Guo Jia couldn't wait any longer. Yuan Shu was about to be overthrown, and he had to seize the fruits of Cao Jun's victory at the last resort. Otherwise, it would be difficult to attack Luoyang under Cao Jun's command in the future.
Although the Qinglong Army is elite, its shortcoming is that it benefits the people, which objectively results in insufficient military expenditures, and they do not engage in forced recruitment. Therefore, the number of troops has not expanded geometrically like Cao's army. Therefore, the Qinglong Army is always at a numerical disadvantage. Coupled with such a terrifying opponent as Sima Yi, I am afraid that it is not a match for Cao Jun yet. At least in the Central Plains areas such as Qingzhou and Yanzhou, Cao Jun's bloody minions still make people laugh.
Fengxiao thought for a moment, facing this defeat, there was already a faint sadness in his heart. Where does the sorrow come from? Guo Jia's handsome lips trembled, and he sighed slightly: "My lord, I haven't seen you for many days, where are you now?!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
