Chapter 85, Eyeing Guanzhong

Xun Yu gave an ambiguous answer, indicating that he didn't care whether Guo Jia's words were true or false, as long as the result was good.

Of course, there is also a possibility that he has seen through it but just doesn't want to point it out.

"Based on Bingzhou and targeting Guanzhong, what is Fengxiao's specific plan?"

Xun Yu asked another question, or in other words, this was the question he most wanted to know the answer to tonight.

Guo Jia had reservations about him at the beginning because the two were not in the same camp at that time. But it is different now. The two of them work together for the same purpose and there is no need to hide it anymore.

Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu and did not answer the other party's question directly. Instead, he asked: "The First Emperor died and the earth was divided. What does Wen Ruo think of this statement?"

Xun Yu pondered for a moment and replied: "Because the First Emperor back then was very prestigious. If he were around, the survivors of the Six Kingdoms would not dare to easily raise armies for restoration."

"After the death of the First Emperor, Fusu was ordered to die by Zhao Gao under the pretense of the emperor's will. Hu Hai was unable to govern the huge Qin State, and the Qin Dynasty died as a result."

After finishing speaking, Xun Yu vaguely guessed what Guo Jia was thinking.

How similar is the Han Dynasty at this moment to the Qin Kingdom in the past?

Just because the Han Dynasty had 400 years of foundation, the country was not destroyed in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but it also laid many hidden dangers. The influence of the empire on the local area was not as good as before, and there was even a scene of princes standing side by side.

This is also the reason why the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down so quickly, because during this period, various states and counties spontaneously recruited troops to increase their strength.

The disadvantage is that the increased strength will no longer be weakened, and it has become a force that cannot be shaken off.

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Nowadays, there are several forces in Guanzhong, such as eunuchs, relatives, and aristocratic families... If our border troops join forces again, it will definitely be very lively."

"Fengxiao thinks there will be chaos in Guanzhong?"

"When there will be chaos in Guanzhong, it depends on how long the emperor in the capital can hold on."

Guo Jia replied that after all, Emperor Ling had been in power for many years, and even if he made no achievements during this period, the power in his hands could not be ignored.

But once he dies, can the two young princes stabilize the chaos in Guanzhong?

Xun Yu nodded solemnly, obviously he and Guo Jia had the same idea in this regard.

But he still had doubts.

"Will the emperor really summon the border troops to Beijing?"

No matter how much Xun Yu thought about this matter, it was impossible.

The Emperor has the Yulin Army in his hands, so why does he need to let the border troops come in to disrupt the situation?

It is easy to invite the gods but difficult to send them away. Once these arrogant soldiers enter the pass, it will be difficult to send them away. This will have a great impact on the imperial power.

If you really do that...that would be stupid!

"Of course the emperor won't, but others will."

"who?"

"God knows."

Guo Jia did not continue speaking. This message was beyond the scope of intelligence, but came from the advantage of foresight.

Otherwise, who would have thought that the general who was born as a butcher could be so stupid?

According to the original process, He Jin died early at the hands of the eunuch group. But even if he did not die, he would not be able to control the border troops that had entered Guanzhong.

You were a general when you were not here, but when you are here, it is all about the sword. After all, Dong Zhuo later did not even pay attention to the emperor.

Xun Yu didn't ask further questions. He still didn't believe that the capital would lead a wolf into the house, thinking that this was just Guo Jia's guess.

All the questions that needed to be asked had been asked, and it was already late at night. Xun Yu immediately said goodbye and ended the conversation.

——

After putting down the rebellion between Dingyuan and Baibo, Bingzhou has regained its long-lost tranquility.

A few days later, Liu Bei suddenly issued an order, ordering Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to gather all his troops together, and at the same time revealed his idea of ​​forming a new army.

When all the generals heard the news, their hearts were filled with excitement.

Those stationed in Jinyang are all the elites of the Bingzhou Army. What is the situation like for the elites selected from the elites?

There is no general who does not like soldiers who are good at fighting.

The huge military camp was bustling with people, and looking around, the dark area was particularly spectacular.

Liu Bei did not arrive at the scene, but left the matter of selecting Iron Buddha Tu soldiers and horses to Guo Jia.

First of all, this unit of arms was originally proposed by Guo Jia.

Secondly, if he were to attend and face two sworn brothers fighting, it would be difficult to make a choice. After all, the palms and backs of his hands were all flesh, so he would simply leave the problem to Guo Jia.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, and Zhang Liao came to Guo Jia one after another. Guan Yu stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "We have all gathered our subordinates. May I ask the military advisor how we plan to choose?"

Guo Jia nodded and said with a smile: "This new army only has 800 people. In other words, among the 16,000 soldiers, only one out of every 20 can be left."

All the generals were puzzled.

It is true that if you adopt the method of selecting one out of twenty from the elite division, what will be left in the end will definitely be the elite among the elite.

But what can a mere 800 people do?

Guo Jia continued: "Take a team of two hundred people and have them run around the school grounds non-stop. The last ten people who persist can join the new army. By the way, don't forget to tell them that the treatment of the new army will be better than that of the new army.

It’s better now.”

This was his designated selection plan, to select the soldiers with the strongest endurance. Although the heavily armored cavalry was destined to be unable to fight for a long time, it was still necessary to make up for this flaw as much as possible.

As for the issue of combat strength, he is not worried. After all, the soldiers who can come here are the main force of the Bingzhou Army, so there will not be a problem of insufficient combat strength.

The generals looked at each other, this was the first time they had seen this kind of judgment.

Zhang Fei suddenly stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Commander, did you tell me who should lead this new army?"

"Who do you want?"

"Of course it's me, Zhang Fei."

Although he thought Guo Jia was joking, Zhang Fei still answered without hesitation.

It would be a lie to say that anyone is not salivating over the trump cards that have been carefully selected.

Guo Jia nodded and said seriously: "Okay, then it's up to you."

Zhang Fei:???

Happiness came so suddenly that he suspected it was a joke.

"Military advisor, are you serious about this?"

"Do you think I'm joking? My lord has already concluded this matter. You have the highest military merit in this battle, and this is your reward."

Guo Jia paused and then said: "But if one day your military achievements are surpassed, the commander of this army will be replaced. The strongest army should be led by the most skilled general."

This was not only an excuse, but also to motivate the generals. Guo Jia felt that Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei all day long, so he would not be overshadowed by others, right?

Guan Yu originally wanted to fight, but when he heard that it was his elder brother who made the decision, he immediately retreated.

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao had just joined. Although they were interested in competing, they gave up because they heard that this was Liu Bei's decision.

In fact, there is another reason why the three people withdrew from the competition, that is, they don't think that a mere 800 people can make much difference.

Soon, the scene of a long-distance run by the entire army appeared on the school field.
