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

Chapter 68, The Butcher and the Pig

"What about Fengxiao's marriage?"

Liu Bei suddenly raised a question. Guo Jia's invitations had been sent out and the wedding was in a few days.

But looking at the current posture, the Baibo Army is expected to launch troops in the next few days, and by then they will probably collide with each other.

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "Of course we will proceed as usual. If I cancel the marriage now, wouldn't I be telling Ding Yuan that we have seen through his scheme?"

Liu Bei frowned and said, "Wouldn't this be too humiliating and filial piety?"

Guo Jia said with a meaningless look: "It doesn't matter, I'll just add another one later." He just wanted to give Su Meiniang a status. As for the wedding being interrupted, he can just make up for it in the future.

It is taboo for military strategists to influence the overall situation with personal affairs.

"Fengxiao is really... open-minded."

While Liu Bei sighed, he secretly made up his mind to give you, Guo Fengxiao, a grand wedding after everything is settled, and I will personally witness your marriage.

Guo Jia smiled and said: "But this matter is of great importance and requires careful planning."

"Fengxiao is absolutely right."

Liu Bei nodded in agreement. Although they had thoroughly analyzed Ding Yuan's plan, one thing had never changed, that is, Ding Yuan still had 6,000 capable wolf cavalry troops in his hands.

On the surface, he has handed over military power, but in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Liu Bei has not yet replaced the generals of this army. In other words, as long as Ding Yuan raises his arms, most of them will respond instantly.

At that time, if Ding Yuan chooses to fight to the death, the outcome will be uncertain.

Liu Bei immediately ordered people to summon Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, and Mi Zhu.

These four are all confidants he brought with him, so there is no need to worry about the news leaking.

Half an hour later, several people arrived one after another.

Liu Bei looked at the few five people below and couldn't help but sigh: There are still too few ministers available.

Even counting Zhang Liao and Gao Shun in Yanmen County, there were only four generals under his command. He had actually made up his mind long ago that when the situation in Bingzhou stabilized, he would embark on another trip to visit the wise.

Different from the last time, his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty has been recognized by the emperor, and he is also the lord of Bingzhou. It will be much smoother.

Liu Bei put away his thoughts and asked: "Second brother and third brother, how many troops and horses do you have in your hands now?"

They have not been idle these days. In the name of reorganizing the three armies, they have gathered some troops from various counties.

Guan Yu was the first to come out of the queue, and he raised his hands and said: "Brother, I have more than 4,500 men under my command now, including 1,500 cavalry, 2,000 infantry, and the rest are all crossbowmen."

Liu Bei nodded and sighed again in his heart. Only in border areas can such cavalry account for nearly 30% of the total army.

Moreover, Guan Yu was relatively small. More than half of the six thousand wolf cavalry under Ding Yuan were cavalry, and some even had one person and two horses.

The situation is similar in Yanmen County.

Zhang Fei followed closely, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

"Brother, I now have five thousand troops under my command, including one thousand and eighty cavalry, two thousand infantry, and the rest are all archers and crossbowmen."

Liu Bei was surprised and said: "So many?"

The two of them went to mobilize troops together, so why was there a difference of nearly 500 men?

Guan Yu smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Zhang Fei's eyes moved around for a while, as if he was thinking about something.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Yide must be fighting with each other everywhere. Yun Chang could only give in because of his elder brother's status."

Guan Yu immediately looked at Guo Jia and gave him a look that said, "He who knows me is a military advisor."

Zhang Fei, however, did not feel guilty at all about stealing his love. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Second brother and I are brothers and sisters. What's his is mine, isn't it?"

What difference can there be between such good brothers?

Liu Bei was no longer too lazy to talk about him, and the left and right matters were insignificant, as long as these soldiers and horses were in the hands of his own family.

He immediately got to the point.

"The military adviser's men have carefully investigated the news. Ding Yuan has sent someone to contact Bai Bo and Guo Tai. I'm afraid there will be an attack soon."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei already knew that Guo Jia had an intelligence team in his hands, and were not surprised by this.

This was not the case for Mi Zhu and Jian Yong. It was their first time working with Guo Jia, and they couldn't help but feel emotional after hearing this.

The Art of War says that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

What Sun Tzu said makes sense.

Ding Yuan's movements were all clearly detected by them, how could there be any reason behind it?

Jian Yong said sincerely: "The military advisor is far-sighted and I admire him."

Mi Zhu agreed: "It seems that we can take advantage of everything from now on."

Guo Jia nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Actually, this is all thanks to Brother Zizhong!"

Mi Zhu asked in confusion: "What does it have to do with me?"

"How could I form this team without Zizhong's financial support?"

"I see."

Mi Zhu suddenly realized, and suddenly felt that the way Guo Jia looked at him had changed, like a butcher sharpening his knife and looking at a fat pig.

He couldn't help but secretly sigh: It seems that in the future, we will have to spend less money and effort.

He heard something by chance before. At that time, the three generals were also well-known powerful men in Zhuo County and had a rich family. However, since he met the military advisor, his family has been reduced to nothing...

"Hey... what about the military advisor's wedding?" Zhang Fei also thought of this, after all, they had received the invitations.

"It doesn't matter, maybe it won't happen to be on the same day." Although Guo Jia said this, he had a vague intuition in his heart that Ding Yuan would choose this day, and the other party also received his invitation.

Because it coincides with a happy event, it is also the time when vigilance is most relaxed.

Zhang Fei didn't think too much, so he didn't ask any more questions after hearing this answer.

Liu Bei solemnly said: "That said, Yide must not be drunk that day."

Although he wanted to invite you to the urn, he did not want to see the situation in Bingzhou deteriorate. In that case, even if he won the battle, the land would be devastated.

Zhang Fei said seriously: "Brother, I know the priorities."

"I hope so."

Liu Bei paused and then said: "Since Ding Yuan chose Bai Bo and Guo Tai, his strength must not be underestimated. I am afraid that Wen Ruo will need to send an army to support him this time."

This is to ensure nothing goes wrong and prepare for the worst. If Ding Yuan switches sides in the end, they can quickly stabilize the situation.

Guo Jia nodded and said: "In the next meeting, you can send someone to send a message to Wen Ruo and ask him to send three thousand cavalry to help."

Jian Yong hesitated and said: "In this case, wouldn't Yanmen only have two thousand troops left?"

The meaning behind his words was clear. He was worried that the barbarians would take the opportunity to invade the border area.

Liu Bei looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia smiled and said confidently: "Don't worry, with Xun Wenruo here, it won't be a problem to stay for ten days and a half."

Yanmen City has high walls and strong walls, and the barbarians are not good at attacking the city. As long as the arrangements are properly made, it is not difficult to defend it for a period of time.

Guo Jia looked at Jian Yong and said jokingly: "What's going on over there at Xianhe?"

Jian Yong understood instantly. Currently, he was only engaged in the task of instigating Lu Bu's rebellion.

"He and Ding Yuan are definitely not of the same mind, and they have great potential."

"Why don't you try to reveal this to Ding Yuan and see how he reacts."
