Chapter 25, agreed to send troops

Guo Jia has no problem with people comparing him to Zhao Kuo. After all, at this moment, his reputation is far inferior to that of Zhao Kuo.

He commanded Zhao's 400,000 troops as soon as he appeared on the scene, which can be said to be a wild start.

If he defeats Bai Qi, he will definitely become a famous general comparable to Han Xin.

Guo Jia stood up, looked at the middle-aged man who claimed that "Zhao Kuo is a lesson to others", and said with a smile: "You think Zhao Kuo can only talk on paper?"

The middle-aged man said calmly: "This is not what I said, this is what ancient books say."

He was quite smart and did not take the matter personally, obviously thinking that Guo Jia would use it to make trouble.

But Guo Jia’s thinking doesn’t stop there?

"What are ancient books?"

"Natural history records."

"Then do you know that there is a saying in ancient books that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit?"

The middle-aged man was speechless. Guo Jia meant that history books tend to dismiss losers as worthless.

Guo Jia continued: "If you let your Excellency go to fight Bai Qi, what are the chances of winning?"

"you……"

The middle-aged man sat down with his sleeves rolled up.

He couldn't answer this question, because if he said he could win, Guo Jia would not hesitate to let him lead troops to conquer the Yellow Turbans.

If not, how could one have the face to ridicule Zhao Kuo?

Guo Jia did not continue to press. His purpose was just to stop irrelevant people from talking.

He turned to face Xun Sheng and said seriously: "It is not possible to defend this city blindly for a long time. Even if we defend this city, the bandits will gradually encroach on other counties and counties, and then form a siege on Yingchuan."

"Even if the bandits besiege the city, it will fall apart when the imperial army arrives." Some people expressed different opinions.

Guo Jia asked rhetorically: "Now that wars are raging across the states and counties, can you guarantee that the imperial army will come to rescue in time?"

"I……"

The man couldn't guarantee it, so he kept silent.

At this time Xun Sheng spoke.

"If we send troops, how sure are we of being filial?"

Xun Sheng could already see that Guo Jia was determined to take the initiative. He couldn't help but be curious about how much preparation the other party had made.

If you can take the initiative and exterminate bandits in exchange for merit, who would be willing to sit back and wait for death?

Guo Jia smiled and said: "If there are only three thousand officers and soldiers in the city, there should be a 50% chance of victory."

Xun Sheng cursed secretly in his heart: Little fox.

He couldn't tell that this guy was taking the opportunity to ask for chips.

"If I add two thousand soldiers and horses, what are the chances of winning?"

"Eighty percent."

Guo Jia immediately answered, and then added: "If we add another five hundred war horses, it will be at least 90%."

Xun Sheng was stunned. How did this little fox know that there were hundreds of war horses in the city?

But he immediately put aside his thoughts and asked: "Is Fengxiao's statement true?"

Ninety percent, it can almost be said to be a sure win.

Guo Jia said seriously: "Jia is willing to issue a military order. If we fail to win, we will engage in military law."

Xun Sheng was stunned. He didn't expect that he would raise the price to such a high price. With his status, there was no need to make such a huge gamble.

At this moment, Xun Yu and Xi Zhong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up at the same time.

"I would also like to issue a military order."

Xun Sheng:???

Is it necessary to place such a large bet?

This was not part of the plan.

Xun Sheng sighed, he was indeed young and frivolous.

In fact, when the news first came, he and his nephew reached a consensus that Guo Jia would take the lead in this battle as much as possible.

Because Xun Yu had already concluded that if he wanted to take the initiative in this war, Guo Jia's cunning plan would definitely be used?

Guo Jia turned his head and met Xun Yu and Xi Zhong's eyes, and they both saw the confidence in each other's eyes.

With the three of them joining forces, if they can't even deal with a group of untrained militiamen, how can they talk about guiding the country and competing in the Central Plains?

Xun Sheng sighed: "That's all, I believe in virtue disciples, you can go ahead and I will fully support you."

He looked around at everyone again.

"Gentlemen, Yingchuan is now at a critical stage of life and death. I hope you will give us your full support."

Everyone:???

You agreed to this matter, why should we bleed?

"We will obey the orders of the county governor."

——

After finalizing the matter of dispatching troops, Guo Jia and the others returned to the academy together. The three brothers from Taoyuan also came after hearing the news, and everyone gathered in a small pavilion by the lake.

Guo Jia joked: "Why did Wen Ruo help so much today? Could it be..." This was a hint, as if he was asking whether Xun Yu had any intention of joining.

Xun Yu said calmly: "The Xun family is all in Yingchuan. If the bandits break through the city, the century-old foundation will be completely destroyed."

He still didn't place a bet.

Guo Jia did not continue to pester. His words were just random graffiti.

Liu Bei's eyes kept lingering on Xun Yu and Xi Zhong, and his heart felt a little hot.

Both of them are important advisers to the Cao thief. If they can win love with a sword... no, they can be recruited under their command, they will definitely break the Cao thief's luck.

Xi Zhong suddenly said: "Has Feng Xiao ever thought about how to win this battle?"

The two are both rivals and friends, but now is the time to fight together, and no one will get into trouble at this time.

Guo Jia said calmly: "Without him, I am the only one fighting you."

Now that the two armies have not yet faced each other head-on, they are rashly planning to win by surprise. Once they are discovered, everything will be lost.

As the saying goes, "Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape." The specific combat strategy is determined by various reasons such as battlefield terrain, climate, strength of the enemy and ourselves, and the opponent's personality and characteristics...

"There are at least 30,000 rebels and our army only has 5,000."

"Although the enemy troops are numerous, they are nothing more than a mob. Although our troops are small, they are well-equipped."

At the same time, in the Yellow Turban camp dozens of miles away, the commander-in-chief "Bo Cai" was also preparing troops for war.

While everyone was discussing the situation of the battle, a group of people walked into the big tent. The leader was Zhang Ning, who had met Guo Jia before, and he was followed by Guan Hai.

When Bo Cai saw it was Zhang Ning, he hurriedly stood up from his seat, leaned over and said, "I have seen the saint before."

Zhang Ning helped Bo Cai up, and then said: "General, there is no need to be polite. I am only here to escort weapons and armor, and to meet old friends by the way."

Old friend?

Bocai looked puzzled.

Zhang Ning explained: "A few months ago, Guo Jia led the army to break into our camp in Yingchuan and seize a batch of grain, grass and weapons."

When the generals heard this, they were filled with righteous indignation and shouted that they would destroy Yingchuan City and cut the hateful Guo Jia into pieces.

Bo Cai asked in confusion: "How did that guy know that we built a camp in Yingchuan?"

Zhang Ning shook his head and said: "I haven't found out this problem yet, but this person is cunning and cunning, and the general must be on guard against him."

Bocai instantly understood, was the saint specifically here to remind him of this?

"Yingchuan has only a few thousand soldiers and horses. Even though our army is not fully equipped with weapons and armor, as long as we fight steadily, why should we be afraid of this man?"

"This person has a reputation as a genius, and I'm afraid that the general won't be able to guard against him. If the general doesn't mind, I'm willing to make suggestions for the general."

Zhang Ning finally revealed his true intention.

She was going to compete head-on with Guo Jia.

Bocai smiled and said: "The saint's willingness to help is the general's blessing."

In terms of status, Zhang Ning is still above him.
