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

Chapter 37, fire and water are ruthless

Guo Jia misunderstood Zhang Fei this time. Although he was usually reckless, at this critical moment of marching and fighting, he also knew that the overall situation was the most important thing.

Guan Yu came over and persuaded: "The military advisers always use troops in an eclectic way. You and I just wait and see the good show."

"Second brother, that's not what I'm angry about."

"Then why are you angry?"

"It's just because the military advisor can't trust you and me, brothers."

Zhang Fei explained the reason in a depressed manner.

Trust, he has given to Guo Jia.

But the other party hid it from him, which made him feel inexplicably alienated.

Guan Yu suddenly understood. In fact, he had always felt the same in his heart, but his personality was not as direct as Zhang Fei's, and he liked to keep everything in his heart.

Guan Yu thought for a moment and then said: "You might as well ask the military advisor directly."

Now that the four of them are one and the same, hiding and tucking them together will easily hurt their feelings.

Zhang Fei said dullly: "If you want to go, you can go, but I won't go."

He looked like a sulky child.

"Okay, then let me ask."

Guan Yu stood up suddenly. He was just trying to clear up the doubts in his mind, so he turned around and walked towards the Chinese army's tent.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Fei hurriedly followed.

——

In the Chinese army's tent, Guo Jiazheng was playing chess with Liu Bei, but he saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei walking in one after another, both looking worried, and he couldn't help but stop his movements.

Liu Bei frowned slightly and said, "Yun Changyide, why are you here?"

Guan Yu looked at Guo Jia and said directly: "Brother, I know that the military advisor must have a plan, but I can't suppress my curiosity. I wonder if the military advisor is willing to reveal it?"

Liu Bei was in trouble. If it was Zhang Fei, he could scold him a few words, but Guan Yu was rarely serious and had a very paranoid temper.

If I were to drink him away today, there might be a gap between the brothers, so I looked to Guo Jia for help.

Guo Jia placed the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard and said with a smile: "Do you blame me for hiding it from you?"

Guan Yu shook his head slightly: "I have no intention of blaming the military advisor. I just want to know why the military advisor is unwilling to reveal it to me. Could it be that he cannot trust my two brothers?"

The meaning of the words is concise and concise. We put our trust in you, but you never gave it back.

Guo Jia smiled and then looked at Zhang Fei: "Does Yide think so too?"

Zhang Fei raised his head. Although he didn't speak, his eyes showed his attitude.

"good."

Guo Jia nodded.

"Then I will come one by one."

"Do you know why I hid the battle in Yingchuan from you?"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "I don't know."

"Because you and your troops are just bait. If I told you, would you still charge with them without hesitation?"

Zhang Fei was stunned.

This is very realistic and cruel.

Compassion does not command troops.

Several people present understand this truth, but when it comes to actually doing it, how many people can completely ignore it?

After all, these soldiers and horses were trained by Zhang Fei. If he knew that he was going to die, even if he accepted the order happily, could he still "act" as realistically as before?

Guo Jia didn't dare to bet. There were too many things involved in that battle, and if he was not careful, he would lose everything.

Zhang Fei was silent, with mixed feelings in his heart. He had no intention of blaming him, because marching and fighting meant walking between life and death.

Guo Jia continued: "As for why I haven't revealed this battle to you, it's because... I haven't made up my mind yet."

Guan Yu knew that this was the key point, so he subconsciously asked: "Why?"

Guo Jia was silent for a long time.

Liu Bei sighed: "Fire and water have no mercy!"

This is their ultimate strategy.

Using a fire to burn tens of thousands of people to ashes is a decision that everyone would hesitate to make.

Bai Qi is known as the God of Killing. When he ordered the killing of 400,000 Zhao soldiers, he must have hesitated for a moment.

Guan Yu raised his hands to Guo Jiayi and said seriously: "Guan, I have learned a lesson."

Killing is not something to be said lightly. Even when he first killed people as a ranger, he felt uncomfortable.

Although the person in front of me has never killed anyone with his own hands, he indirectly contributed to the burial of thousands of people a month ago.

This battle will be even more brutal. The disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves is too great, and there is no chance of winning in a head-on battle. Even if Guo Jia racks his brains, he can only come up with this "taking advantage of the situation" strategy.

With the power of heaven and earth, the power of water and fire, these tens of thousands of people were buried.

Zhang Fei also understood at this time that his military advisor was going to use a "fire attack" strategy, and his avoidance of fighting at this moment was all paving the way for that move.

Although he didn't know the specific steps, he felt that there was no need to ask any more and he could just follow the orders.

"Military advisor, I, Zhang Fei, wrongly blamed you, and I am here to apologize to you."

"It doesn't matter, I'm actually being pretentious."

Guo Jia forced a smile, but his face was no longer as free and easy as before.

He had been struggling with this for a while, but at this moment the emotion had disappeared.

Once you have embarked on this path, you are destined to be unable to turn back.

Everything requires a process of adaptation, and he is currently in this process.

Liu Bei sighed: "We are killing people now just for the sake of peace in the future."

As someone who has experienced it, he has the best say in this matter.

Having spent a lifetime fighting in my previous life, I have long been accustomed to seeing the ruins behind war.

Especially in Huogong, he experienced the Battle of Changshe, the Battle of Chibi, and the Battle of Yiling.

To this day, I can still recall that scene in my mind.

Boundless flames burned blazingly, and soldiers fleeing in embarrassment in the fire kept flashing before my eyes, and the wailing in my ears never stopped...

Before he knew it, Liu Bei was crying with sadness.

He was crying for the soldiers who died tragically in the Battle of Yiling, just because of a mistake in his decision-making.

He once again reminded himself that every decision in the future needs to be carefully considered.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not immersed in the scene and could not experience this state of mind.

"Brother..."

Liu Bei waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just that the wind and sand are getting into my eyes."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other. It was unbearably hot in the middle of summer. There was not even a gust of wind. How could we talk about wind and sand?

Guo Jia could roughly guess what Liu Bei was thinking, but he didn't say much.

He looked at Guan and Zhang and said: "Since you two have nothing to do, then strengthen the camp for me. There will be a fierce battle in the future."

"The last general takes command!"

——

Guan Hai, covered in blood, rushed into the Chinese army's tent and said in a deep voice: "General Digong, the walls of Duchang City are strong. It is not advisable to continue like this!"

The brutal siege battle had lasted for five full days, but Zhang Bao, hindered by Guo Jia at the rear, did not dare to mobilize the main force, resulting in repeated failures.

Zhang Bao slammed the table and said in a deep voice: "Stop attacking the city."

All the generals were shocked.

"I want to defeat Guo Jia first, and then take Duchang City."

He found that he had always been in too much awe of Guo Jia, so that he had been timid during battle and was unable to exert his full strength.

"I want to see if Kong Rong dares to help Guo Jia."
