Chapter 31, a great victory

The morning sun was rising slowly, its rays of light dispelling the coldness of the night, but it could not dry up the blood everywhere.

In just one day and one night, more than 10,000 corpses were buried in this land.

In the future, there will be more!

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals are leading their troops to hunt down the Yellow Turban Army who broke through and escaped, but Guo Jia no longer needs to care about these.

He is just a counselor who makes plans, and it is up to the general to do battle on the battlefield.

Guo Jia rode a carriage to a hay shed and lay on his back on the grass bored. The place was far away from the bloody battlefield and the air was much fresher.

Xiao Zhan on the side couldn't help but ask: "Our army has won a complete victory, why is sir so sad?" After this battle, some of the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan had completely lost their fighting power.

Hearing this, Guo Jia sighed: "Although I am not the executioner, I indirectly created all of this."

He was still a little unable to adapt to this change of identity. It turned out that "the enemy's army was wiped out in ashes while talking and laughing" was not all happiness, but also a heavy burden with blood on his hands.

Xiao Zhan couldn't understand this kind of thinking.

"How can one not die in a war?"

"You see clearly."

Guo Jia was a little surprised. A little groom had a better attitude than him. Is it because he was not immersed in the situation?

"These days, even if there is no war, many people will starve to death." Xiao Zhan looked melancholy. Last year, there was a severe drought across the country, and countless people died of starvation. In some places, there were even tragic scenes of exchanging children for food.

Guo Jia stared at this honest face for a long time, then smiled and said: "You are right, it was me who got the look."

Xiao Zhan seemed to have held back a lot of words, and then continued: "I know that General Liu must be a man who can do great things. With the help of Mr. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two powerful generals, we will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Uncle Liu Huang seemed not to let go of Guo Jia's groom, and activated his "Benevolence" talent on him.

I suspect that I am a fake protagonist.

Guo Jia laughed dumbly, and an idea came to his mind for no reason.

Is the protagonist of this era me or Liu Bei?

Or Cao Cao, Sun Quan...

What a failed time traveler.

At this time, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard not far away, and the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang came on horseback with a group of cavalry.

The three brothers and the soldiers behind them were all covered in blood, and their faces looked dusty.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rode their horses to Guo Jia, turned over and dismounted, looked at each other, bent their proud waists, and said in unison: "Guan Yu (Zhang Fei) has seen the military advisor."

This was a statement of stance. After this battle, the two of them were completely convinced by Guo Jia, and they also experienced the horror of the strategy.

A man who seemed so weak that he could easily strangle him to death could single-handedly decide the life and death of tens of thousands of people with just his words.

Guo Jia stood up from the grass, reached out and patted the weeds on his body, and said with a smile: "What's the result?"

"Second brother, tell me."

"The Yellow Turban army first ambushed a partial division on the retreat. Although they killed the enemy and captured numerous prisoners in this battle, they did not capture the enemy general."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "It's not important anymore."

The main force of this Yellow Turban team has been exhausted and is no longer able to pose a threat to Yingchuan. It is time to carry out the next plan.

Guo Jia then crossed over the two of them and came to Liu Bei under the shade of a tree.

Liu Bei smiled and said: "The first step of Sir's plan has been completed. It seems it is time to start the second step."

Guo Jia had two plans for the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The first step was to defend Yingchuan and use this battle to train an elite army. Then he would perform meritorious deeds in the subsequent battles to quell the rebellion and gain promotion.

Guo Jia nodded and said: "With this military merit, Jia has the capital to ask for orders from the county governor."

Liu Bei suddenly held Guo Jia's hand: "I have to be filial, just like the great ancestor had..."

Guo Jia:……

Can you use a new word?

——

Guan Hai breathed heavily, and his lips were almost dry.

"Holy girl, the officers and soldiers have not continued to pursue her."

In the wilderness and on the mountain road, Zhang Ning led the remaining thousands of remnant soldiers and fled in embarrassment until there was no sign of his pursuers.

Looking at the gray scene behind him, Zhang Ning clenched his fists, and his long nails dug deeply into the delicate palms, oozing out traces of blood.

She knew that she had completely lost and the situation in the Yingchuan area had completely fallen apart.

Seeing this, Bo Cai couldn't help but persuade him: "Holy girl, this defeat is not all due to resentment. If the general is allowed to lead the army, he will not be able to defeat these scholars."

However, these words had no consoling effect.

Zhang Ning lost his mind and said: "If you had led the army, even if we couldn't win, we would never lose so miserably."

She wanted to win so much that she showed her flaws.

If the commander-in-chief is Bo Cai, given his character, he will choose to defend tightly after losing the first battle and not give the officers and soldiers any opportunity to take advantage.

Bocai responded silently. This was an unanswerable question. A person's choice is determined by his character.

"Go back to Jizhou. I will take full responsibility for the consequences of this battle. I am no longer worthy of holding the position of a saint."

——

After resting for a day, Liu Bei and Guo Jia immediately led their troops back to Yingchuan.

Xun Sheng prepared a grand ceremony and led all the officials and people in Yingchuan out of the city to welcome him.

"Fengxiao fought well in this battle. I should take credit for you. If it goes as expected, you no longer need to practice filial piety and integrity."

"Uncle has said before that this battle is not the result of one person, but the lives of the three armies. What's more, Wen Ruo also came up with a plan."

Xun Sheng glanced at Xun Yu and said nothing more.

Of course, one's own children are praised by others, so there is no reason for one's own praise.

After some pleasantries, Xun Sheng looked at Liu Bei again.

"I heard that the general prepared the troops for this battle."

Liu Bei was neither humble nor arrogant and said: "I'm just trying my best."

"I also heard that the general is a descendant of the Han Dynasty."

"To be honest, I am Prince Jing of Zhongshan..."

Although his family was in decline, Liu Bei did not flinch at all and generously resigned from the family.

These days, the descendants of the Liu family have little value, but if they have meritorious service, that would be another story.

Xun Sheng smiled and said: "Sure enough, times make heroes. After this battle, the general will definitely be able to regain the glory of his ancestors."

"The governor has given too much credit, and I am deeply worried."

"You gentlemen, please go back and wash up for the time being. I have ordered people to prepare a banquet and I will welcome you tonight to wash away the dust."

The group of people immediately walked towards the city.

At this time, Guo Jia approached Zhang Fei.

"I heard that Yide's family is well off."

After Zhang Fei heard this and saw the malicious expression, he suddenly felt bad. How could this person still care about his family background?

"My ancestors have accumulated some wealth, but it is certainly not as good as the Guo family's."

Zhang Fei looked wary, and at the same time secretly reminded someone that your family is much richer than mine, so there is no need to come here to fight against the rich, right?

Guo Jia sighed: "I'm just a descendant of the Guo family, so I can't get my share of the family fortune."

"So what do you mean sir?"

"My lord needs a lot of money and food now, are you willing to help me?"

When Zhang Fei heard that it was his eldest brother's business, he immediately said without hesitation: "Sir, it doesn't matter what you choose..."

He suddenly paused: "But now that the war has just ended, what does eldest brother want money and food for?"

"Pensions to the wounded and wounded soldiers."
