Chapter 46: Guo Jia's suggestions
"Well, Yide is truly worthy of being a tiger general." Xie Chengbin is now weak and weak, and he can kill him if he picks a small soldier. Seeing that Xie Chengbin's face is not very good, Zhang Fei thought Xie Chengbin was unhappy for the fallen soldiers, so he immediately put away his smile. "Uh... brother, our army is currently few and few, and there are many injured. Staying in the plain is an unwise move. It is better to retreat to the south of the Yellow River first and then call the army to come back in the future!"
Xie Chengbin thought so too. Just as he was about to ask Ding Jie next to him to order his withdrawal, Liu Quan ran in quickly. "Report to the lord, the scout came to report that General Guan led 10,000 troops to reinforce. He has crossed the Yellow River and arrived in Gaotang. He will reach the plain tonight!"
Xie Chengbin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then frowned and began to hesitate. Qingzhou's territory was small, and if he gave up Pingyuan County, the two Linhe counties and states of Jinan and Le'an were exposed directly, and it would not be impossible even if they were attacked by the coalition forces of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. If the plains were not given up, then you must face this northern overlord! If you go directly to war with Yuan Shao, then the family's wealth accumulated through hardships is likely to be defeated! What should you do?
"Yongyan, what do you think about the current situation?" Xie Chengbin died of many brain cells but still couldn't think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds, so he simply listened to other people's ideas. Ding Jie didn't expect Xie Chengbin to ask him, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. After thinking a little, he clasped his fists at Xie Chengbin. "Go back to the lord, in today's battle, Yuan's army was defeated. In recent days, eight or ten years of strict precautions are taken. Our army should not attack him rashly. Yuan Shao learned about this matter. If he defended him here, he would probably have a lot of danger! Even if he could not attack or defend, he could only retreat along the way, and he could rest assured with the danger of the Yellow River!"
Ding Jie was very vocal, but Xie Chengbin was extremely unwilling to do so. At this moment, Liu Quan ran in again, knelt in front of Xie Chengbin and pointed outside the door in panic. "Lord, all the injured soldiers are healed!!"
Zhang Fei and Ding Jie were both surprised when they heard this, thinking that they had heard it wrong.
"I understand." Xie Chengbin was in the mood to explain to Liu Quan, and waved his hand to signal Liu Quan to retreat.
Seeing Xie Chengbin so calm, Liu Quan felt that he was too fussy. He punched Xie Chengbin, got up and walked out, and ran in again in less than ten seconds. "Lord, there is someone sneaking outside the school grounds and was caught by the patrolmen. What should I do?"
"Oh? There is such a thing! Let it..." Xie Chengbin thought it was a detailed act of the enemy (spy) at the first time, and subconsciously wanted to order execution, but when the words came to his mouth, he remembered whether the people would seek justice, so he quickly changed his words after half of his words. "...br it in."
"Let's go! Be honest!" "Ouch! Be gentle, it hurts and hurts!" There were loud curses and complaints outside the door. Xie Chengbin felt that the complaint was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. As the footsteps became louder, two soldiers walked in with a young man. When Xie Chengbin saw that the person coming was Guo Jia!
"Hehehe!" Guo Jia, who was known as a genius, could not hide his embarrassment, so he could only laugh a few times. The two soldiers escorting Guo Jia mistakenly thought Guo Jia was rude, so he leaned against Guo Jia's arm even harder! Guo Jia was in pain, and immediately screamed! "Ah! Be gentle, it hurts!"
When Xie Chengbin saw Guo Jia, he was stunned for a moment, and then saw Guo Jia's funny look. He was so amused and laughed and waved his hand to signal the two soldiers to retreat. "Why is Jia here? When the war is in chaos, you shouldn't be walking around everywhere."
Guo Jia moved his arms and walked to the front of Xie Chengbin's case to kneel down (Ding Jie knew Guo Jia, so he didn't stop him), pouring water on his own, as if this was his home. "It's a long story, and he lived in seclusion for nearly a year and went to the north to join Mr. Yuan. Later, he found that Mr. Yuan was difficult to accomplish great things, so he went to Jinan. Wow! Jinan looked strange, with a lot of merchants, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and looked like a paradise! I happened to hear that the envoy came to the plain to defend the enemy. When he arrived, he met General Guan. He used a trick to borrow a war horse from him, and he was arrested when he came to the schoolyard."
"In this way, Jia is willing to help me?" Xie Chengbin was very excited. With Guo Jia, what else can't be done? However, Xie Chengbin, who was in YY, was knocked back to his original form by Guo Jia understatement. "Yes! If the envoy can answer the question below, he will be the lord!"
"Ah?" As soon as Xie Chengbin heard that Guo Jia was going to ask another question, Xie Chengbin was a little scared. After all, not everyone could answer the questions Guo Jia gave. Seeing Xie Chengbin's embarrassing look, Guo Jia smiled mysteriously without hiding the contempt on his face. "Is it because you are afraid? If this is the case, you dare not force yourself. (Powering method)"
"Haha! Jia was joking, but it was a bit unexpected, not a timid heart. Even if he let the horse come over, he would just let it go." Xie Chengbin smiled bitterly, and now he could only bite the bullet and let it go. Guo Jia stopped smiling and immediately became extra serious, as if he had never laughed at all. "First, what aspirants have? Second, how can they control the world? Third, what should they do if they are different from what they see?"
These questions are much normal than last time. Xie Chengbin can answer the answer after pondering for a moment. "First, I have no ambitions, nor is it a talent for an official. I do not seek fame and fortune. I only hope that the people of the Han Dynasty will live and work in peace and prosperity, and return the peaceful and prosperous times of the Han Dynasty. At that time, some people will definitely leave their armor and return to the fields and hide their names from then on. Second, the only people who control the world are the people! The people are water, and the officials are boats. Water can carry boats, and can also overturn the boats; third, if you see differently from what you see, you must look at the morality and will definitely not flatter you."
Guo Jia nodded while listening, until Xie Chengbin finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
I don’t know what Guo Jia was thinking, but this thought took him half an hour, and Zhang Fei next to him was impatient. "My brother is unparalleled and righteous. Why can you hesitate? Besides, it’s not a real man to drag him down!"
"Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. If Yide is unwilling to wait, go out for some breath, don't interfere with others' decisions." At the critical moment, Xie Chengbin was very dissatisfied and blamed him for a few words. Zhang Fei was dissatisfied and wanted to refute him, but when he saw Xie Chengbin with a stern face, he couldn't refute him immediately. He glared at Guo Jia fiercely, turned around and walked out.
Guo Jia finally opened his eyes, his expression was extremely calm, which was completely inconsistent with his age. "In extraordinary times, extraordinary things, those who accomplish great things do not care about minor details, and make the king too benevolent and righteous, not the choice of a wise king."
When Xie Chengbin heard this, he felt like a gust of wind blew in his heart - there was no hope! There was nothing I could do about it. Who said Xie Chengbin was in this style?
"However, I am sincere and honest, so I really cannot refuse. I wish to worship the envoy as the lord, and from then on I wish to fight for the lord!" Guo Jia said that, and bowed to his knees and performed the ceremony of worshiping the lord. Xie Chengbin, who was in a big ups and downs, was mixed with emotion and quickly helped Guo Jia up. "Today, I am getting Guo Jia is like getting Zhang Liang and Han Xin, why worry about the big thing not going to happen! Assuming your position as a military advisor, how about commanding the soldiers of the three armies to block Yuan's army?"
"Hehe! The lord praised, Jiayuan is not as good as Zhang Liang and Han Xin! As a military advisor, he was afraid that the army would be dissatisfied, so he followed the envoy and gave advice to the envoy. I wonder what the strength of our army and Yuan army are? So what about morale?" Guo Jia returned to his unruly smile in a blink of an eye, completely different from the one just now. Unexpectedly, Guo Jia was unwilling to accept the position of military advisor, and Xie Chengbin was a little surprised. "Jia doesn't need to see you, just call me. Yuan's army is estimated to be as large as 50,000 or 60,000, and our army has more than 3,000 infantry and more than 4,000 iron cavalry. Guan Hai will arrive in 10,000 infantry and cavalry tonight. Today our army will win by luck and its morale is strong."
"Since that's the case, Jia asked to call the lord Zibin Brother! Our army is still at a disadvantage. If Yuan's army attacks again, it would be bad. Brother Zibin knows who the commander Yuan is? How is it?" Guo Jia poured himself into drinking water and said in a tone of family conversation, without any panic. Xie Chengbin blushed when he heard this. "This... I don't know."
Three days later, the sky was clear and the sun was shining.
Ande County belongs to Pingyuan County, and after being captured by Yuan’s army, it became a temporary camp for Yuan’s army.
Xie Jun divided more than 10,000 people into five square formations, with clear flags and spears like forests, and the scene was quite spectacular!
"Dong, dong, dong..." Several war drums were ringing one after another, slowly and neatly! Whenever the war drums sounded once, the soldiers also took a big step. The training steps were very neat, comparable to those of later generations!
When Xie's army came to Ande in a mighty manner, Yuan's army had already left the city and was ready for battle! When it was about two hundred meters away from Yuan's army, Xie's army stopped and the two armies were about to break out!
A cavalry rushed out of the formation of Xie Jun, stopped between the two armies, pointed a spear in his hand at Yuan Jun and shouted: "I am Yu Jin, the prefect of Pingyuan! Who will die!"
"Don't be crazy if you're not dry! Wait until a certain Jiao Ting takes off your head!" Yu Jin just finished speaking, a loud roar came from Yuan Jun! The sound was so loud that even Xie Chengbin on Xie Jun could hear it!
After the words came, Yuan Jun rushed out a cavalry and started fighting with Yu Jin. The two of them did not distinguish between the winners. After fifty rounds, Yu Jin showed a little defeat, and he swung his horse and turned around and ran away. "My war horse is exhausted, and I will fight again when I change the war horse!"
Jiao Chu laughed, not to mention how proud he was. All the soldiers of Yuan’s army shook their flags and cheered, while the soldiers of Xie’s army were silent.
"Don't be proud of the rebels, the prefect of Le'an Kingdom, Guan Hai, came!" Another cavalry rushed out of the formation and rushed towards Jiao Tu.
