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

Chapter 35, drag!

The sun is scorching, and the sun is like fire.

Half a month later, we were fifty miles away from Duchang City.

Zhang Fei still served as the vanguard of the army and led the remaining 500 troops of his headquarters to take the lead.

At this moment, a general galloped across the army and came to Zhang Fei's side.

The general wiped the sweat off his face and said, "The military advisor has ordered us to set up camp on the spot."

Zhang Fei raised his head and glanced at the sky, and said in a deep voice: "It's noon at this time, why are you in such a hurry to set up camp?"

The general cupped his hands and said, "I don't know, but the military advisor has issued orders many times, and those who disobey orders will be subject to military law."

When Zhang Fei heard this, even though he was puzzled, he still ordered his men to set up camp on the spot.

At the same time, on a hillside twenty miles away.

"Report...the officers and soldiers have stopped moving forward and are now setting up camp twenty miles away."

"Explore again!"

"Here."

After Zhang Bao dismissed his soldiers, his weathered face with Chinese characters showed a look of confusion.

Since ancient times, the camps between the two armies have usually been no more than thirty miles apart. This is to facilitate the start of the battle and to more clearly detect the enemy's movements.

Now Guo Jia is camping fifty miles away, which makes Zhang Bao wary.

Bo Cai on the side suddenly said: "Guo Fengxiao is extremely treacherous. General Digong must be careful and careful."

Although Zhang Ning on the other side did not speak, he was secretly thinking about Guo Jia's intentions.

They originally planned to go north to Jizhou, but they changed their minds halfway and ended up in Qingzhou.

However, due to the shadow of the last failure, Zhang Ning never intervened in military affairs again, and just watched quietly without saying a word.

Zhang Bao nodded and said: "This battle should be fought steadily, guarding all sides, and not giving the officers and soldiers any opportunity to take advantage."

He knew that his side had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. As long as he fought steadily and without exposing any flaws, the two thousand men in his army would not be able to make any trouble.

Guan Hai on the side asked: "Should we continue to form an array here?"

Zhang Bao shook his head and said: "No need, Guo Jia knows that he has insufficient troops and will not fight us head-on."

He originally planned to engage in a sniper battle on the plains of Ma Pingchuan and give Guo Jia a head-on blow. However, the opponent had anticipated this and chose to avoid the battle.

Zhang Bao firmly believed that as long as he did not reveal any flaws, Guo Fengxiao would not be able to do anything to him even if he came up with all his tricks.

My niece's battle was an accident. She exposed her back to her opponent, which is a taboo for military strategists.

The general on the side couldn't help but said: "There are only two thousand officers and soldiers, so we might as well take advantage of his unsteady footing and directly overwhelm their camp."

Zhang Bao glanced at the man when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Twenty miles away, the terrain is steep and the trees are lush. Otherwise, why do you think Guo Jia would choose to camp there?"

The plain is the most difficult place to design, so Zhang Bao chose to snipe here.

If he was in a dangerous place, he was not sure he could defeat those scholars.

In fact, that place was the most suitable place for them to ambush, but I was wary of Guo Jia and didn't dare to take risks.

Playing slowly and slowly means that results will not come quickly.

"Go back."

——

"This place is fifty miles away from Duchang City. Why did the military advisor choose to camp here?"

In the evening, the vanguard army led by Zhang Fei had already set up camp.

As soon as the army arrived, Zhang Fei couldn't help but raise doubts.

Guo Jia joked: "Are Yide teaching me how to use soldiers?"

Zhang Fei immediately withered. He didn't think he could beat Guo Jia in terms of strategy. At least he couldn't defeat 30,000 with 5,000.

He muttered: "No matter what, we are here to rescue. We are here now, we can't avoid it and not fight, right?"

Obviously, Meng Zhangfei could no longer control his violent prehistoric power.

He originally just said it casually, but Guo Jia's statement confirmed what he said.

"Yide guessed it right, I was planning to avoid fighting."

"this……"

Zhang Fei was speechless. Are they here for shopping?

Liu Bei said with a sullen face: "When a military advisor uses troops, how will it be up to you, a fool like you, to tell us what to do?"

In fact, Guo Jia had discussed the final tactics with him before setting off, but only the two of them knew about it.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Third brother, we just obey orders and have our own military advisors to make plans."

His words revealed full trust. After the last battle, he was completely convinced by Guo Jia.

Tai Shici asked doubtfully: "Sir, don't you plan to send troops?"

He thought that Guo Jia was going to pull off another strange plot, and that he would be lucky enough to experience a war in which less would defeat more.

"Not yet."

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "One moment, another moment, our army is too small now, and after Zhang Bao heard about the battle in Yingchuan, he would definitely defend it to the death. The last conspiracy can no longer be replicated."

"I remember Ziyi said that there is enough food and grass in the city to last for several months. We don't have to rush."

The so-called victory by surprise does not mean the use of clever tricks.

The true meaning of using military force is to achieve a perfect combination and achieve a surprising victory.

If you surprise your opponent when he is alert, you will definitely get a bloody blow.

Although Tai Shici could not guess Guo Jia's thoughts, he did not continue to ask.

Guo Jia continued: "I hope Ziyi can do me a favor."

"Sir, it doesn't matter."

"Tell Governor Kong for me that if the Yellow Turbans attack me, you can attack the rear. If the Yellow Turbans attack the city, I will also attack the rear."

Guo Jia paused and then added: "Remember, you must find out the enemy's situation before sending troops. Don't fall into the Yellow Turban's trick of luring the enemy."

"I'll take your orders."

Taishi Ci already understood that Guo Jia really planned to drag it out, otherwise he would not have arranged it like this.

"I'm talking about military advisor, what should we do next?"

Zhang Fei looked depressed. They came to fight, but now there was no battle to fight. He was a little at a loss for a while.

Guo Jia smiled and said: "You are not allowed to drink alcohol, and you are not allowed to go to war privately. Other than that, you can do whatever you want."

Zhang Fei was stunned. The things he loved most were restricted. What else could he do?

Guo Jia ignored him and walked aside to sit down.

"Lord, how about a game of chess between you and me?"

“Very good.”

Liu Bei nodded and immediately ordered someone to fetch the chessboard.

The two began to play chess.

Zhang Fei was a little confused for a moment. He was not here to fight. He was clearly here to enjoy the scenery.

But he saw his second brother suddenly pulling him out and saying, "Third brother, you and I haven't practiced martial arts for a long time, so come and practice."

Zhang Fei was completely speechless, feeling that everyone present except him was abnormal.

——

The leisurely days lasted for five full days.

Yellow Turban Camp.

"Is there any movement among the officers and soldiers?"

"Reporting to the Lord General, the officers and soldiers have not noticed any other movements other than training their soldiers."

"Is there any trouble within a few dozen miles?"

"The scouts didn't find anything disturbing."

Zhang Bao was silent. He had been on guard these days and was always ready to deal with a surprise attack by the army at night. Unexpectedly, the enemy did not move.

At this time Guan Hai spoke.

"It's better to let the general lead a group of troops to challenge and test the strength of the official army."
