Guo Jia of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was reborn at the beginning to recruit

Chapter 33, Tai Shi Ci

"Tai Shi Ci has met all the generals."

After the banquet, the three Liu Bei brothers and Guo Jia immediately went to meet Tai Shici, because it was he who came to ask for help on Kong Rong's order.

Liu Bei stepped forward to help him up and said with a smile: "General, there is no need to be polite."

Seeing Taishi Ci again after a lifetime, Liu Bei had mixed feelings in his heart.

In his previous life, this same man came to ask for help, but the location was completely different. In his previous life, Liu Bei did not come to Yingchuan, but gathered a volunteer army in Pingyuan County.

It was thought that in this life he and Guo Jia had a great victory in Yingchuan, so Taishi Ci came after hearing the news.

Liu Bei thought in his heart.

Tai Shici said: "I have no official position, so I cannot bear the title of general."

Liu Bei pretended to be surprised, and then smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I think the general has a heroic spirit, and he will have a bright future."

In fact, he didn't know about this, and he was just pretending to be reasonable. It was obvious that Liu Bei had become more and more proficient in how to open the reborn person.

Guo Jia's heart was like a bright mirror, but he just watched quietly.

However, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were a little unhappy. Isn't this man just more handsome than them? Is this heroic spirit?

The true heroism should be as strong as an ox, with a strong back and strong waist... Zhang Fei thought dissatisfied.

Inexplicably, I felt like my cheese was about to be snatched away.

"I dare to ask you, brave man, what is the situation in Duchang now?"

Guo Jia said, they will march to Duchang, where Kong Rong is, the day after tomorrow after resting for a day.

During this period, he must learn as much as possible about his opponent's generals, troops, and terrain on the battlefield, so that he can quickly formulate a general strategic direction.

Sun Tzu's words convey the true meaning of the art of war: know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

Guo Jian was able to defeat Zhang Ning so thoroughly precisely because he had figured out this person.

It may seem like an eccentric tactic, but in fact every step has been carefully thought out.

Taishi Ci's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Guo Jia, and he boldly guessed: "Sir, is he Guo Fengxiao who broke the Yellow Turban?"

Since arriving in Yingchuan yesterday, the name I heard most often was Guo Jia, and I also got a rough idea of ​​this person's appearance from rumors.

A thin young man, dissolute and overindulged.

Guo Jia was startled when he heard this. Is he already so famous?

"That's right. However, defeating the Yellow Turbans was not the result of just one person. It was my lord's command and the whole army who fought bravely."

"Sir, you are so humble. Without your advice, how easy would it be to wipe out tens of thousands of bandits with just a few thousand troops?"

Taishi Ci seemed to admire Guo Jia very much, and his words were full of praise.

The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang on the side were suddenly a little confused, and their achievements were not mentioned at all?

Zhang Fei was a little unhappy. He did not deny the military advisor's strategy, but he was also fighting for his life.

Guo Jia sighed in his heart and looked at Liu Bei helplessly. His innocent eyes seemed to say: Lord, I didn't mean to steal your limelight. Such things as charisma are innate.

Guo Jia said sternly: "What a strong man said is wrong. If my lord does not arrange the troops and the two generals have good arrangements, no matter how clever my strategy is, it will be useless."

Taishi Ci suddenly noticed Guo Jia's remarks.

Lord?

This title means that he has recognized Liu Bei as his master.

Then he looked at Liu Bei, who had been ignored by him for a long time.

"May I ask what position the general holds now?"

"Without an official position, he is now just the temporary leader of the bandit-suppressing army."

While Liu Bei responded, he secretly thought about how to recruit Taishi Ci to his command.

Although this man's martial prowess is not as good as that of his second and third brothers, he is still a fierce general. His archery skills are even more superb, and he is known as a marksman.

He failed in his previous life because he had too little capital.

Taishi Ci also had a proud character, and a small Pingyuan County obviously couldn't keep him.

At this moment, Zhang Fei spoke.

"Hmph, although my eldest brother has no official position at the moment, he is a descendant of the empress of the Han Dynasty. Now he has made great achievements, and he will be granted the title of marquis and prime minister in the future."

As Liu Bei's most loyal younger brother, Zhang Fei hated to see his brother being looked down upon.

"Don't make too much boast about your virtues. My lord's contribution is at most the governor of a state, not enough to be named a marquis or prime minister." Guo Jia added, seeming to be scolding Zhang Fei for boasting about Haikou, but in fact he himself was not very humble.

He saw that Liu Bei was coveting Taishi Ci, so he offered to help him.

Not everyone is like Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who will be impressed by the name of a descendant of a Han empress. What matters more is official position.

Zhang Fei was stunned. He couldn't adapt to Guo Jia's brain circuit for a while, and he didn't know how to answer this question.

Even with Liu Bei's face, he was a little at a loss for the two men's praise.

Guan Yu's face is always red, I don't know if it's because of shyness.

Taishi Ci looked at Guo Jia with a surprised look on his face: "Sir, are you so sure?"

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Now is the time when the world is in turmoil. What do you think, the strong man, if today the emperor knows that there is such an outstanding talent as my lord among the Liu family, what will he do?"

The more turbulent the period, the more we need a benchmark.

Why did Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty distribute Liu Yan, Liu Biao and other Liu family's descendants to various places after the Yellow Turban Rebellion?

Isn't it just to stabilize the Han family?

It's a pity that none of these people can carry the banner of the Han family. In the end, Liu Bei, who came from a humble background, achieved three-thirds of the world.

Taishi Ci was silent for a moment and said: "Now there are only 4,000 soldiers and horses left in Duchang City. There are said to be 100,000 Yellow Turbans outside the city, but based on my observation, the number of combatable Yellow Turbans should be around 30,000."

After going around in a big circle, I finally got back to the topic.

Guo Jia fell into deep thought after listening.

Although he once defeated an equal number of Yellow Turbans with 5,000 men, he did not think that this kind of victory could be easily replicated.

First, he knows Zhang Ning very well.

Second, after this case, opponents will definitely be more cautious.

Third, they only have 2,000 men left.

"We must get in touch with the army in the city, otherwise this battle may not be easy."

Guo Jia quickly came to a conclusion.

The general direction is basically determined, get in touch with Kong Rong in the city, and use the internal and external strategy.

However, the specific operation depends on arriving at the battlefield and then arranging tactics according to the situation.

Taishi Ci pondered and said: "I would like to ask, how many reinforcements are you planning to bring?"

Liu Bei replied: "Two thousand soldiers and horses are nothing more than elite troops."

This is reasonable. This army has just experienced a great victory, and it is a time when morale is high.

Having fought in battles in his previous life, he knew the importance of morale very well.

An army of 10,000 brave and fearless is far better than an army of 100,000 with low morale.

Because the battlefield confrontation is not a direct one-on-one duel, if the front army cannot withstand the pressure and collapses, the army behind will also be affected, leading to a complete defeat.

"Sir, are you sure you can win by surprise again?"
