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

Chapter 47, The Weakest

Unconsciously, half a month has passed, and the army and the Yellow Turbans are still attacking and defending around Guangzong. With the combination of harassment and strong attack, even though Zhang Liang has already responded, he is still being troubled.

The officers and soldiers kept changing the direction of their main attack, which caught Zhang Liang off guard. The city tower fell for a time, but in the end the Yellow Turban Army was able to hold on.

Zhang Fei had an open-minded nature and fully demonstrated the heroic side of Yan and Zhao. He quickly emerged from the shadow of his family's wealth being emptied and returned to his usual carefree appearance.

With nothing to do today, he started competing with his second brother again.

The Qinglong Yanyue Sword and the Zhangba Snake Spear make friends in mid-air, sparks fly, and the game of strength and skill is picturesque.

Inside the tent, Guo Jiazheng was playing chess with Liu Bei, but he was lost in thought while holding the chess pieces in his hand.

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly walked into the tent.

"General, General Huangfu summons you."

Liu Bei's eyes flashed and he looked up at Guo Jia.

The latter casually threw away the chess piece in his hand and said with a smile: "As expected, Zhang Liang is going to fight to the death with our army."

If Zhang Liang doesn't want to be dragged down, a last-ditch fight is his last option.

Liu Bei nodded and said: "After this battle, we should be able to live in peace for a few days."

After this battle, the Yellow Turban Rebellion can be declared to have ended.

Although he knew that there would be sporadic rebellions later, the impact was far less severe than this time.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu heard the sound, so they also walked in.

Zhang Fei looked eager to try and said: "Military advisor, are we about to start a war?"

Guan Yu was as calm and calm as ever, but his red phoenix eyes were staring at Guo Jia unblinkingly, obviously he was also looking forward to it.

Guo Jia asked with great interest: "Does Yide like fighting so much?"

"That's right, after eating and sleeping all day long, my bones are sore."

"Then go down and get ready. In my opinion, this time it's almost the same."

"Okay."

Zhang Fei turned around happily and went down, and Guan Yu followed suit after raising his hands to indicate.

Liu Bei looked at the two people's backs and said helplessly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint them."

"Let him be happy for a moment first."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Guo Jia and Liu Bei immediately went to the Chinese army's tent.

As he expected, Zhang Liang took the initiative to declare a challenge, and Huangfu Song was ready to start arranging his troops.

"Okay, now that everyone has arrived, I will now make arrangements for tomorrow's battle. All units must go to their designated positions in time."

Huangfu Song looked around at the generals and said in a deep voice: "Sun Jian, Yuan Shao."

"The end will be here."

"You two will lead your troops to form an array here tomorrow."

Huangfusong said, pointing to a certain place on the map.

"The last general takes orders."

"Cao Cao, Yuan Shu."

"The end will be here."

"You two..."

…

"Okay, the whole army will prepare food at the third watch tomorrow and set off at the fifth watch."

"Here!"

As Huangfu Song spoke word by word, the positions of each department were quickly clearly arranged.

Sun Jian was known for his bravery. The Jiangdong Army under his command had experienced hundreds of battles, and its combat power was no worse than that of the Yulin Army, so he was placed in the front army together with Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shu commanded all the cavalry of the Yulin Army, which were arranged on the left and right wings respectively, waiting for opportunities to move.

To advance, you can break through from the left and right wings.

Retreat to protect the army.

As for Chunyu Qiong and others, they were assigned to the Central Army as a reserve force, ready to support various ministries at any time.

I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, but Liu Bei's troops were placed in the rear area. This is a position that is difficult to define.

Fortunately, if nothing happens, the troops in the rear will not suffer too many casualties, because they are basically useless.

Unfortunately, when others eat meat, they may not even be able to drink soup.

Everything is as expected.

Although Liu Bei's army fought two victorious battles, everyone knows that these two battles relied on wisdom rather than combat power.

In addition, most of the army are new recruits, and only a thousand are veterans. This overall configuration is still far from the Yulin Army, which is known as the most elite Han Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the beautiful battles in those two battles, Huangfu Song would not have even allowed such a miscellaneous army to join.

——

"Military advisor, are we the front army...or the central army?"

The next day, Zhang Fei looked at the empty scene in all directions and couldn't help but ask.

Guan Yu stroked his beard for a moment, as if he had guessed something, and his face suddenly turned very rosy, as if he was angry.

Liu Bei smiled helplessly. The lie would eventually be exposed. Yesterday, Guo Jia specifically told Zhang Fei to recharge his batteries and be at his best for today's battle.

"None of them are right." Guo Jia's expression did not change, he was calm and composed.

Guan Yu muttered: "We...are the rear army."

He was not asking, but stating a fact.

Zhang Fei's eyes widened immediately: "What!"

Since ancient times, those who guard the rear are the soldiers and horses with the weakest combat power. Because after all, there are only a few people like Guo Jia who make a large circle to attack the rear. Most of the time, the most brutal fighting occurs on the front battlefield.

Moreover, a qualified commander often leaves a reserve force ready to support various ministries at any time. The chance of success of this surprise attack strategy is not high.

That's why the Battle of Yingchuan was full of chance and even a certain amount of luck.

"Military advisor, how could you..." Zhang Fei's face turned red with anger, almost comparable to that of Guan Yu.

"What's wrong with me?" Guo Jia, however, had no consciousness of doing anything wrong and dared to talk back.

"I just asked you to go to bed early last night and recuperate your energy, but I didn't say that our army would be the main attacker."

Zhang Fei said angrily: "Why do you need to recharge your batteries to guard such a useless place?"

After speaking, he threw away the snake spear in his hand and lay directly on the grass. At this moment, he was like a body that had lost its soul.

Upon seeing this, Guan Yu advised: "Third brother, even if we are not in the front army, we must not slack off. Soldiers are the place of life and death."

Zhang Fei didn't understand, but stood up anyway.

Liu Bei said with satisfaction: "General Huangfu's arrangement is right. Looking at the three armies, our troops are indeed the worst equipped and the weakest in combat effectiveness."

Zhang Fei was a little unconvinced when he heard this: "Which of the generals and commanders in the entire army can surpass me and my second brother in martial arts?"

This statement was quickly denied by Guo Jia.

"The bravery of the general can certainly improve morale, but it cannot directly affect the combat effectiveness of the three armies. Yide, after all, you are still standing still."

"A qualified general should take his responsibilities seriously, even if it is a sinecure."

"Although the rear army will not fight the frontal enemy forces, they still shoulder heavy responsibilities. Have you forgotten the Battle of Yingchuan?"

Guo Jia actually didn't think Zhang Liang would make the decision to rush around and attack because Huangfu Song was different from Zhang Ning.

The former is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles and is as stable as a mountain.

Zhang Ning is still young and does not control the situation rigorously enough.

"Second brother, let's go."
