Chapter 74, Insatiable

Everyone's eyes fell on Guo Jia, wondering if he had any other tricks up his sleeve.

Guo Jia chuckled and said, "My lord, this scene is not just for Ding Yuan to see. It is also a push to Lu Bu to let him know that Ding Yuan is in trouble."

Liu Bei immediately understood what he meant, like a ferocious beast being forced to the edge of a cliff, it would often make unexpected moves.

If the previous strategy had worked, Lu Bu and Ding Yuan should have already developed a estrangement. If they continue to add fuel to the flames, this rift will be intensified.

Guan Yu pondered and said: "Does the military advisor think that Lu Bu is really going to commit patricide?"

Guo Jia said seriously: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and righteousness. Lu Bu only made a choice between loyalty to the emperor and filial piety. This is an act of righteousness and annihilation of relatives, and there is nothing wrong with it."

This is a hint.

Everyone didn't understand it at first, but after thinking deeply, it suddenly became clear.

Guo Jia was reminding them that if Lu Bu really killed his father, he was instigated by them to rebel. The world can scold Lu Bu, but they can't, because they are the culprits!

Guan Yu cupped his hands and said, "What the military advisor said...is absolutely true."

Lu Bu's position is very important. If Ding Yuan is allowed to defect with six thousand wolf cavalry, the situation in Bingzhou will become very troublesome.

"Okay, let's see how General Lu will decide."

Liu Bei stood up and brought the meeting to an end.

After the scene just now, as expected, Ding Yuan should speed up. Success or failure will depend on these two days.

"Lin Bin, you go out of the camp immediately to find Guo Tai and tell him to raise a fire as a signal at the third watch tomorrow night."

Ding Yuan here has just returned to his camp and can't wait to start the deployment. He can't wait any longer.

If Liu Bei is really asked to mobilize soldiers and horses from other states and counties, his chances of winning will become slim. And after all, this seizure of power is about the inferior conquering the superior. He must not make the matter a big deal, otherwise he will become a rebel even if he wins.

.

"yes!"

Lin Bin received the order, but he hesitated to move.

When Ding Yuan saw this, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Lin Bin half-bowed and said slowly: "My lord, this is a critical moment. Even if you trust Lu Bu, you should still have a backup plan in case something unexpected happens."

This time, Ding Yuan did not scold him, but fell into silence, thinking about Jian Yong's secret meeting with Lu Bu again in his mind.

This is indeed a hidden danger.

"Here comes someone."

"What are your orders, general?"

"Lü Bu disobeyed orders and attacked privately. Take him down immediately. You are not allowed to step out of the camp without my order."

As soon as this order came out, the soldiers who followed the order were stunned for a moment, never expecting that General Lu would be punished for such a trivial matter.

"What are you still doing?"

"yes."

Ever since, Ding Yuan made a wrong decision.

He underestimated Lu Bu's prestige in the hearts of the soldiers, and also ignored the terrifying power of the tiger when it shows off its power.

In other words, his rope was not tight enough to restrain a beast-like general like Lu Bu.

——

When Liu Bei led his army and rushed outside Yangqu County, an army of 40,000 led by Guo Tai also arrived at the same time.

He divided his troops into two parts. One part was stationed in the city, and the other part was camped outside the city. The two sides were at arm's length.

Late at night, Lin Bin once again acted as the link between the two parties.

The former county government office has been reduced to the main tent of the Baibo Army. Except for Han Xian, Li Le, Guo Tai and others who were stationed outside the city, they all gathered here.

"How dare you come!"

Yang Feng was furious when he saw Lin Bin. In the daytime battle, he killed and wounded more than a thousand soldiers.

Lin Bin still had that calm expression, as if in his eyes, the Bai Bo Thief was never something to be afraid of, and he firmly believed that the other party would not dare to kill him.

"It was Lu Bu who made his own decision in the daytime battle. General Ding has already dealt with him. Besides, if you don't do anything, how can you confuse Liu Bei?"

These words were equivalent to treating the dead and wounded soldiers as victims. Yang Feng became even more angry when he heard these words, and immediately drew his sword towards him, but was stopped by Guo Tai.

Guo Tairao said with interest: "Tell me, what does Ding Yuan plan to do?"

In this battle, they conquered nearly ten counties and obtained money, food, and countless weapons. In comparison, the death and injury of a thousand people was indeed nothing to mention.

Lin Bin said bluntly: "At the third watch tomorrow night, raise the fire as a signal."

Guo Tai was startled when he heard this, and then joked: "Is Ding Yuan so eager to kill his lord?"

"This has nothing to do with you."

"It really has nothing to do with me, but why should I help you?"

Everyone in the world benefits from chaos, and this temporary alliance is no exception.

Bai Bojun has gained a lot from this trip, but this does not mean that Guo Tai will be satisfied with this. Human desires are endless.

However, Lin Bin was not threatened at all and said calmly: "Because you are a smart person and you should be able to think clearly about which one of General Ding and Liu Bei will benefit you more if he wins."

"If General Ding wins, he will need time to clean up the mess, and you can still retreat safely with the gains from this trip."

"But if Liu Bei wins, he will never let you go. With so much food, grass and weapons, you must not be able to escape as fast as before."

Since Ding Yuan dared to seek skin from a tiger, he would not let it be manipulated without preparation.

After a long speech, Guo Tai's face instantly darkened.

He suddenly regretted coming to Yangqu County and regretted that he was greedy and should have retreated as before before Liu Bei's army arrived.

I heard Lin Bin continue to say: "Liu Bei has sent people to mobilize troops and horses from various counties. As for when he started to give orders, I don't know."

"But one thing is for sure, if you don't defeat him, you won't be able to run far, unless...you are willing to spit out what you got."

This is not an alarmist statement. The Bingzhou Army had many cavalry. If the Baibo Army brought a large amount of baggage, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the cavalry even if they used the previous method of scattering and escaping.

"Don't be so arrogant!" Yang Feng was already angry, but seeing how arrogant this guy was in their territory, he could hardly contain the ancient power in his body.

Hu Cai also glared angrily, obviously irritated by this man's arrogant posture. If he hadn't been concerned about Guo Tai's attitude, he would have joined forces with Yang Feng to hack this man to death with random swords.

"Okay, I agree to your agreement."

Guo Tai suddenly gave an unexpected answer. Yang Feng and Hu Cai were about to open their mouths to persuade, but they were interrupted by his wave of hands.

Lin Bin took a deep look at Guo Tai and said in a deep voice: "You'd better keep your word, otherwise if we lose, you won't end well."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

As soon as Lin Bin left, Yang Feng couldn't wait to say: "Guo Shuai, why did you agree to him?"

Hu Cai also nodded and said: "Yes, we have obtained enough things during this trip. It is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and watch the officers and soldiers kill each other."

But Guo Tai showed an inscrutable smile.

"If we don't get involved, they won't be able to fight."

"The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind. It's better to take this opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Bingzhou Army. From now on, this northern land will be our world."

Yang Feng and Hu Cai looked at each other with disbelief on their faces. They never expected that Guo Tai wanted to swallow up the entire Bingzhou Army on the road.

However, after thinking about it, I realized that my side had some advantages in military strength, which was enough to make up for the gap in combat power. In addition, the officers and soldiers were surrounded by each other, so this matter was not a bad idea.

"Guo Shuai is brilliant!"
