Chapter 24, Guo Fengxiao, talking on paper

Tiger whip is a magical thing that can make men show their power and make them invincible.

Guo Jia spent a pleasant time like this, and unknowingly, the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising in his memory was getting closer and closer.

The sun rises and everything revives.

In the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, Guo Jiazheng and Liu Bei played Go.

As the weather gets warmer, the ice and snow begin to melt, and everything is looking prosperous.

"It's all the opposite, it's all the opposite!"

Zhang Fei walked over quickly and spoke plausibly.

Guan Yu followed closely behind, his expression slightly complicated.

When Guo Jia heard this, he paused slightly in his movements.

On the contrary...has this day finally come?

He immediately raised his head and looked at Liu Bei, who was sitting opposite him, when the other party also raised his head.

The two looked at each other.

Snapped!

Guo Jialuozi looked at Liu Bei and said with a smile: "The green dragon holds its head high and soars thousands of miles away."

This is a rebellion sweeping the world and will deal a heavy blow to the Han Dynasty.

However, danger and opportunity coexist, and this is also an opportunity, especially for those who have no foundation in Liu Bei, it is a God-given opportunity.

Liu Bei stood up with great pride in his heart.

"I will hold the three-foot sword and achieve unparalleled achievements."

In this life, I will never have any regrets.

He added in his mind.

Guo Jia played with the chess pieces in his hand and looked at Guan and Zhang with a playful expression: "Raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while, are you ready?"

He divided the thousand soldiers and horses into two parts and gave them to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for training respectively. At the same time, he made a bet to see who could train better soldiers.

The two of them each developed a set of training methods based on their own strengths, Guan Yu's swordsmen, and Zhang Fei's spearmen.

The methods of using spears and guns are similar, and the pikemen trained by Zhang Fei are also very good.

When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, military advisor, my second brother and I will never let you down. You will understand when we get to the battlefield."

Guan Yu didn't speak, but his face was full of confidence, fully demonstrating the characteristic of a ruthless man who doesn't talk much.

At this moment, "Zhou Cheng", a scribe from the county governor's office, came hurriedly.

"The Sheriff invites you."

Zhou Cheng looked at Guo Jia with a somewhat complicated expression. Combining various signs, it was clear that this man had predicted everything. This talent was indeed beyond his reach.

Guo Jia smiled and then slightly arched his hand towards Liu Bei.

"Go down and come back."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, knowing that this was the Yingchuan County Governor inviting Guo Jia to discuss countermeasures.

...Guo Jia immediately followed Zhou Cheng and set off for the governor's mansion.

"I would like to ask you boldly, what is the situation inside the Yingchuan Administrative Office now?"

On the carriage, Guo Jia had nothing to do, so he asked about the development of the situation.

Zhou Cheng looked worried and sighed: "The rebels outside the city are said to number one hundred thousand. They have already captured several nearby counties. They are now heading towards Yingchuan and have great potential to attack the city."

Guo Jia shook his head and sneered, "One hundred thousand? It's just a bluff. From what I see, it's only 20 to 30 percent at most."

In this era, people always like to exaggerate. In his opinion, the so-called 100,000 rebels are just an imaginary number, and there are only 20,000 to 30,000 young men who can go to the battlefield at most.

Among these 30,000 people, there should be no more than 10,000 who have been trained and equipped with weapons.

Seeing his relaxed expression, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but feel a little confused. Is this man really sure of victory, or is he pretending to be calm?

Zhou Cheng couldn't help but probed: "Even if it's only 20 to 30 percent, that's still ten times the number of Yingchuan defenders. Does Fengxiao have some countermeasures?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "No, if the enemy has already thought of countermeasures before they arrive, it's just talk on paper."

The reason why he was so relaxed was because although there were many Yellow Turbans, almost all of them were new recruits who had never experienced combat.

Although there are only three thousand soldiers and horses in Yingchuan City, they are well-trained and well-equipped regular troops. Even though they are in the hinterland of the Central Plains, their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the frontier troops, but they are far better than these newly formed militiamen.

Coupled with the external threat, the major families in the city will definitely share the same hatred. It should not be difficult to recruit another 2,000 people from their private soldiers.

It can be seen that the final result should be five thousand versus twenty thousand, and the individual combat power of the officers and soldiers is even better.

Such a comparison shows that the gap in strength between the two sides is actually not that big. This is because the center of gravity of the Yellow Turban Uprising was not in Yingchuan, but in Jizhou, Nanyang and other places.

Zhou Cheng was speechless. Why were you so confident without any countermeasures?

While thinking about it, the carriage has arrived at the Sheriff's Mansion.

——

When Guo Jia and Guo Jia arrived at the meeting hall, the room was already in chaos, and they could vaguely hear people arguing about the Yellow Turban matter.

Some people proposed to strengthen the city wall and wait for help.

Some people think that the people should be mobilized to defend the city together.

Some people also felt that someone should be sent to the capital to ask for help immediately.

...but no one suggested taking the initiative.

"Guo Jia, a grassroots man, has met the county governor."

Guo Jia strode into the hall and bowed his head to Xun Sheng.

Xun Sheng was worried about the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but he was relieved when he saw Guo Jia.

"Fengxiao is here, please take a seat."

To sit down is actually to sit on your knees.

Guo Jia stood up and went to sit next to Xun Yu and Xi Zhong.

In this noisy hall, the two people who were as stable as a rock stood out from the crowd. The empty seat was obviously reserved for him.

Seeing the governor speak, everyone stopped talking and turned their attention to Guo Jia.

These people are either descendants of aristocratic families or powerful landlords, so they naturally know Guo Jia. In addition to his own talents, Guo's past influence is also indispensable.

Xun Sheng pondered: "Has Fengxiao ever heard of the Yellow Turban Rebellion?"

This was a question knowingly. From Guo Jia's previous incident of borrowing troops to suppress bandits, it is not difficult to see that he was preparing for today.

"I've heard a little bit about it."

"Is there any countermeasures to filial piety?"

"Why don't the governor ask Xun Yu first? He has the talents of a king and he will definitely have a good strategy to defeat the enemy."

Guo Jia felt that scholars needed to be more modest, so he handed the ball to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu smiled and said nothing.

The actor's face was expressionless, as if he was staying aloof from the incident.

Xun Sheng looked helpless: "Wen Ruo just recommended you to me, and now you recommend him. Could it be that you two have no intention of sharing my worries?"

Although he is his nephew, Xun Yu, as the future head of the Xun family, still has a higher status than him, and he cannot control him.

Guo Jia couldn't help but glance at Xun Yu, this guy actually struck first!

He immediately stood up and said seriously: "I think we should take the initiative to prevent the thieves from developing and growing."

This was a strategy that Guo Jia had agreed upon with Liu Bei in advance. Since he planned to establish meritorious service in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he naturally couldn't do it in a small place like Yingchuan.

As soon as this statement came out, Xun Sheng was stunned, and everyone started talking again.

Some people say that Guo Jia is young and frivolous, others think that the gap in military strength is too big, and even worse...

"Reporting to the governor, Zhao Kuo has learned from the past and must be observed!"

Guo Jia was speechless for a moment.

Zhao Kuo is not weak, but his opponent is too strong!
