The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 211 Let's go, let's join in the fun too
The generation of Taishan bandits entrenched in Taishan County can be said to be a relatively large bandit force in the late Han Dynasty.It is enough to be compared with the size of Zhang Yan in Montenegro and the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou.

But the nature of this group of thieves is different from the previous two. They are not simply transformed from the common people, nor are they the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, but an army organized by local tyrants.

This force has always been good at changing the rudder according to the wind. Its leader, Zang Ba, raised troops to take part in the pacification of the Yellow Turbans during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Later, he became his own force and dominated one side.

But after the Yellow Turbans were pacified, the Taishan bandits absorbed many remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Since then, this team has some elements of the Yellow Turbans.

Not only that, although the Black Mountain bandits are bandits, they are similar to Zhang Yan. Their subordinates have occupied several cities, killed and plundered externally, but actively managed people's livelihood internally.

At the same time, he also broke up with Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and the two sides were quite ambiguous.

It's just that this year the entire Taishan County has suffered from drought, and the grain production has been reduced on a large scale. The food and grass under the Taishan bandits are not enough, so they sent troops to plunder the surrounding counties.

Taishan County, South Wuyang County.

"The damn weather!"

Guo Jia was wrapped up heavily, sitting on the carriage, his hands and feet were shivering from the cold.

Since being dispatched by Lin Chao forcibly, Guo Jia has traveled all the way around Taishan County, just to find out the traces of Taishan thieves.

Yesterday, I just traveled to Nanwuyang County, and suddenly there was heavy snowfall, and the temperature became even colder.

Guo Jia, who was always afraid of the cold, couldn't stand the weather. Although he added a few more clothes, he still felt cold hands and feet.

Guo Jia and Lin Chao are actually people of the same physique, but the difference is that Lin Chao has been weak and sick since he was a child, and belongs to the sick child type.

Guo Jia, on the other hand, likes drinking and playing with younger sisters. His body was hollowed out by alcohol at a young age, and he belongs to the type of kidney deficiency.

After cursing the weather, Guo Jia remembered the instigator again, and couldn't help cursing again.

"Damn Lin Zichu, he always thinks about calculating others. Ever since I met him, nothing good has happened to me."

After Guo Jia finished cursing, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he looked at the officers and soldiers guarding him on both sides with a guilty conscience, wishing to lick back what he said just now.

I heard that Lin Zixu set up this school affairs office alone, they wouldn't report that sentence just now to that guy Lin Zichu...

If this is the case, then the days to come will be even more difficult.

But the words have been spoken, and it is useless to regret.

"This damn Taishan bandit, if it wasn't for them, how could someone suffer such a crime!"

Lin Chao didn't dare to scold anymore, so Guo Jia could only vent his complaints on the Mount Tai thief.

After scolding everyone including the weather, Guo Jia felt at ease. He got off the carriage, looked at the dark sky in the distance, shook his head, and ordered his staff to open the map.

If you want to enter Xuzhou from Taishan County, there are only two ways to go.

All the way in the north, starting from Mou County, passing through Gai County, and finally entering Dongguan County in Langya, Xuzhou.

Entering Dongguan is equivalent to entering the hinterland of Langya, and going south is the plain area of ​​Yimapingchuan.

And the road to the south is closer.

If you start from Liangfu County, go all the way through Bian County, Nanwuyang County, Fei Country, and finally reach Linyi, which is only a few tens of miles away from Kaiyang, the seat of Langya.

Although Bian County along the way is located on the border of Yuzhou, the bandits would not care if they wanted to come to Mount Tai.

Generally speaking, if the Taishan bandits wanted to go south to Xuzhou, Lang Ya would definitely bear the brunt of it, and he couldn't avoid it.

As for Guo Jia's trip to Mount Tai this time, although Lin Chao only asked him to investigate the traces of the Taishan bandits, he was not reconciled to just investigating, so he inspected the terrain all the way to prepare for the capture of Mount Tai in a few months.

He first took the road to the north.But they went all the way, but there was no trace of Taishan bandit, so they had to turn back and take the south road again.

But now that they have all arrived in Nanwuyang County, they still haven't seen even half of the Taishan bandits, which makes Guo Jia very puzzled.

After staring at the map for a long time, Guo Jia had a guess in his mind.

"In this weather, this group of Mount Tai thieves...it's impossible to send troops to attack Feng Gao."

It is common sense in this era that there will be no soldiers when the snow falls in winter, because there are too many variables, and the outcome is unpredictable.

But if a group of people are going crazy with hunger, they will naturally not care about common sense or not. As long as they can win Feng Gao, they will have money and food, and they will be able to survive.

"Yes or no, as long as you pass Bian County, you will know the answer."

Guo Jia looked at the map and whispered to himself.

At this time, Xu Huang rushed back with dozens of riders in the distance.

"Gongming, are there any traces of Taishan bandits ahead?"

Seeing Xu Huang coming back, Guo Jia hurriedly asked.

It has to be said that Guo Jia is quite self-disciplined when he has business to do, and he hasn't even touched a single drink these days, for fear that his judgment will be delayed by being drunk.

Xu Huang clasped his fists together and said, "Mr. Feng Xiao, this trip crossed Bian County and traveled northwest for dozens of miles. Finally, thirty miles south of Liangfu County, we found traces of marching troops."

"Liang Fu!"

Guo Jia exclaimed, compared it with the map, clapped his hands and said: "Sure enough, I guessed correctly, these Taishan thieves must be attacking Feng Gao!"

Fenggao County is the seat of Taishan County, and it is also the richest city in Taishan County, with a large population and wealth.

Hearing this, Xu Huang shook his head and objected: "Mr. Feng Xiao, I think it's impossible. Marching in winter is a taboo for military strategists. The Taishan bandits should not be so stupid."

Although Xu Huang has only turned [-] after the new year, it is the time when he is young and frivolous.But he is a cautious person in his bones. In history, he used soldiers all his life, but never took risks. He always liked to fight steadily, so he didn't believe Guo Jia's judgment.

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Even you, Xu Gongming, thought it would be impossible, and the Taishou prefect was even more unpredictable. This is where the Taishan thief's chances lie."

"This……"

Xu Huang had to admit that what Guo Fengxiao said seemed to make sense.

In fact, the Taishan bandits at this time were not only attacking Fenggao, but even the surrounding Liangfu and Bo counties were not spared.

"Come on, let's join in the fun."

When it came to fighting, Guo Jia didn't feel sleepy anymore. He immediately laughed and went to watch the fun.

"Mr. Feng Xiao, let's not go." Xu Huang persuaded with a wry smile, "There are only a thousand soldiers under a certain command. If you go rashly and encounter large-scale Taishan bandits, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect Mr. comprehensively."

There is one more thing Xu Huang didn't say, that is, the soldiers of the school office under his command, although all of them are fighters, most of them are good at scouting. Neither can win.

"No problem, no problem, a certain one is just watching from a distance." Guo Jia said with a smile, "When the river thaws, the lord will send troops to Mount Tai. Naturally, I must first understand how many soldiers and horses the Taishan bandit has and how powerful it is. .”

"This……"

Seeing that Guo Jia gave a valid reason, Xu Huang hesitated.

Guo Jia wanted to go, but he, Xu Gongming, had no idea.

Since defecting to Liu Bei, Xu Huang has not made an inch of merit. Now if he can find out the military strength and combat strength of the Taishan bandits, it will be a great achievement to go back.

More importantly, when the time comes to send troops, he can also take the opportunity to participate in the name of knowing the Taishan bandits, so as to have the opportunity to make contributions.

Xu Huang asked himself that he was not weaker than all the generals under Liu Bei. This is his self-confidence, but he lacked a chance.

Why doesn't he want to be like Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, who lead an army alone every time he goes to war!
Furthermore, all the soldiers under his command have war horses, so if they can't beat them, it shouldn't be a problem to escape.

After thinking for a while, Xu Huang finally nodded, and said to Guo Jia with a serious face: "Mr. Feng Xiao, we agreed, we just wait and see from a distance, and retreat when we find out the enemy's situation, we must not fight with it!"

"Hahaha!"

Guo Jia laughed and patted Xu Huang's shoulder, and said, "It's natural! Being able to change things and making decisions on the spot, Gong Ming is a great general!"

Although he came out this time mainly by himself, if Xu Huang did not agree to go, Guo Jia would have nothing to say.

But Xu Huang was so knowledgeable, Guo Jia expressed his pleasure, praised him a few words, and smiled and invited Xu Huang to match him with words.

After being humble, Xu Huang accepted it frankly.

At this point, the two reached a consensus and galloped away to Liangfu County.
