Guo Jia was expressionless after hearing this and had no reaction.
However, Zhang He on the side was so frightened that his face turned pale and his facial features became extremely unnatural!
Where is Pang Tong for this liar?
How much manpower and material resources would be needed to mobilize an army of 150,000 people? Need to spend food and supplies?
Absolutely astronomical figures!
King Cao Cao of Wei mobilized a total of 250,000 troops, but almost emptied the entire Central Plains and Hebei.
Would Liu Zhang be so kind?
Mobilizing 150,000 troops to help in the battle without agreeing on the remuneration in advance?
Do you really think Zhang He is a fool?
Besides, who is Liu Zhang helping?
Help Liu Bei or Cao Cao?
Or are you taking advantage of the quarrel between Cao Cao and Liu Bei to reap the benefits?
After the scene fell into a brief silence, Pang Tong spoke again.
"Commander Guo, does the general beside you seem to have something to say?"
Zhang He's face was uncertain. Except for his mouth, almost every organ was talking, which had long attracted Pang Tong's attention.
Pang Tong simply did a favor and gave Zhang He a chance to speak.
"ah?"
Zhang He couldn't help but make a sound of surprise, his whole body was in a tense state.
It was true that he was the Four Court Pillars of Hebei Province before, but after surrendering to Cao Cao, his status instantly changed from a general to a subordinate general.
Cao Cao had many talented people under his command, and demoted generals like Zhang He had no chance to perform.
How could one not be nervous about openly having a conversation with Pang Tong, Huang Zhong and other Qin army commanders in front of the battle line?
What if I say something wrong and cause a conflict between Qin Army and Cao Army?
Zhang He looked around, nervous and frightened. He couldn't even express a word, let alone express his thoughts.
This undoubtedly embarrassed Guo Jia.
The general who was brought out personally was so frightened that he did not dare to say anything when facing the Qin army?
"General Zhang, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter!"
Guo Jia saw the fear in Zhang He's heart and not only encouraged him personally, but also gave him a reassuring look.
It seems to be telling him, don't be afraid, there is King Wei behind you!
Zhang He immediately understood Guo Jia's intention, and his nervousness faded away.
But after thinking about it, I still shook my head.
"Military advisor, the general has nothing to say."
Zhang He is not a fool. Guo Jia hasn't spoken yet. Is it his turn to make irresponsible remarks?
What should we do if Pang Tong insists on Zhang He's words?
In short, Zhang He made up his mind not to talk nonsense until he understood Qin Jun's true intentions!
Guo Jia's chest rose and fell, and he kept breathing out turbid air.
He really convinced Xiahou Dun and Zhang He.
He was as timid as a mouse and didn't even have the courage to face the Qin army.
One person was very courageous, but when he came to the Qin army's formation, he was frightened and overwhelmed, and even his facial expression was extremely uncoordinated.
Leading Xiahou Dun and Zhang He in a surprise attack was one of the few stupid things Guo Jia had done in his life!
"Ahem..."
"This time King Wei personally led an army of 300,000 people to the south to destroy the Big Ear Bandits and conquer Jingzhou with almost no effort. There is no need for Military Advisor Pang to spend a lot of time!"
"Guo will take the place of King Wei here and thank King Qin for his kindness!"
Guo Jia saluted Huang Zhong and Pang Tong respectively, expressing his gratitude.
It hurts feelings to say that he wanted to quit, but Guo Jia expressed it both implicitly and directly.
Not to mention the extremely intelligent Pang Tong, even Huang Zhong, who was a military general, would definitely be able to understand.
"Hehehe..."
Pang Tong chuckled a few times, showing no displeasure at Guo Jia's vague expulsion.
Turning around, he started talking about Cao's army's defeat.
"Commander Guo, I heard that the King of Wei attacked Xiangyang twice, and both ended in disastrous defeats, with no less than 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses killed or injured!"
"I wonder if that's the case?"
Guo Jia nodded so as not to cover up his previous failure.
"Yes, our army was indeed defeated twice under Xiangyang City."
"military adviser!"
Zhang He was immediately worried when he heard this. How could he admit such a thing casually?
However, Guo Jia did not give Zhang He a chance to continue speaking, and directly raised his hand to interrupt him.
And gave Zhang He a shut-up look.
"Fifty or sixty thousand people were killed or wounded in the battle. Even if the King of Wei's family has a great cause, I'm afraid they can't withstand such damage, right?"
During this gap, Pang Tong spoke again.
While sarcastic, he looked at Zhang He with a vague look.
Zhang He's face turned red and his heart was full of shame.
Xiahou Dun was defeated by Liu Bei's army anyway, but he was burned by fire.
This was even when Liu Bei's army did not have any ambush.
If there had been an ambush outside Xiangyang City at that time, we don't know how much the situation would have worsened.
At the same time, Zhang He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
No wonder Xiahou Dun would rather die than come!
Why don't you listen to Pang Tong's sarcasm?
The reactions of Guo Jia and Zhang He were completely different, with a smile on their lips instead.
"Haha, what Military Advisor Pang said is absolutely true!"
"No, I personally led the troops to kill them. I wiped out all 5,000 Big Ear bandits in one battle and successfully rescued more than 100,000 Nanjun people!"
Pang Tong narrowed his eyes slightly, and with just a few words of dialogue, he understood why Liu Zhang always said that Guo Jia was extremely difficult to deal with.
He can face his own failure, and he can turn the tide after his own failure and personally defeat the enemy.
It fully expresses that the defeat was because there was no Guo Jia. With Guo Jia, the battle instantly became a complete victory!
"Haha, Pang Tong admires Guo's talent as a military advisor!"
"It's just that Liu Bei is the hero of the world, and Zhuge Liang is well versed in strategy. It will not be easy to win."
"I heard that Sun Quan and Liu Bei have formed an alliance to fight against the King of Wei."
Guo Jia nodded again. This was also a recognized fact and there was no need to hide it.
"That's right, Sun Quan separated his own country and killed the imperial envoys without authorization. He even tried to fight against the king's master!"
"The King of Wei is furious. After preparing to destroy Liu Bei, he will go directly down the river and destroy Sun Quan in one fell swoop!"
Pang Tong smiled and shook his head, extremely disdainful of the big words in Guo Jia's mouth.
"Commander Guo is so confident that he shouldn't throw cold water on it. But the current situation may not be as optimistic as Military Counselor Guo thinks!"
"Sun Quan and Liu Bei jointly have no less than 200,000 to 300,000 troops. After two major defeats, the King of Wei only has about 200,000 troops left. In terms of the number of troops and horses alone, the King of Wei is already at a disadvantage!"
"Furthermore, most of the soldiers under King Wei are from the north and are not used to water warfare at all. If we fight against the Sun and Liu coalition alone, we will probably be in trouble!"
After hearing this, Guo Jia was unmoved and asked Pang Tong directly.
"I wonder if Military Master Pang has any advice?"
Pang Tong gently stroked his sparse beard and came up with a plan for Guo Jia.
"Since Sun Quan and Liu Bei can form a coalition, why can't the King of Wei and the King of Qin form a coalition to fight against the enemy together? If the coalition of Liu and Cao fights against the coalition of Sun and Liu, it will definitely be defeated!"
"The fact that Tong brought out the entire Eastern Army this time shows the sincerity of King Qin! I wonder what Commander Guo wants?"
Guo Jia didn't give Pang Tong an answer, he frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
On the contrary, Zhang He on the side had fiery eyes and kept winking at Guo Jia.
That expression seemed to say, promise him, promise him!
