Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1789 Guo Jia's Analysis

After the war, the two southeast walls of the eldest son city looked even more messy, even crumbling.

Wearing a cloak, Mu Jing walked down from the city wall, passed through the city wall, and walked out of the suburbs. He looked at the messy battlefield with corpses strewn across the field and blood dripping.

"His Majesty!"

Xi Zhicai came on horseback from the eastern suburbs: "The Wei army has retreated, the scouts have been placed fifty miles away, and their main force has withdrawn. It is impossible to organize an attack in a short time!"

"This battle, we fought a bit miserably!"

Mu Jing said solemnly.

"Ok!"

Xi Zhicai sighed: "Even if you are very strong, if you can't exert [-]% of it, it will naturally be much more tragic, and the casualty ratio will be higher than usual!"

"Such a situation, do you think Wei Jun's people also know about it?" Mu Jing gritted his teeth.

"If this is a trial battle, then it is impossible for their people not to spy on the battlefield secretly. Naturally, they know very well about the injured troops on the battlefield!"

Xi Zhicai said: "And what I suspect is that the person watching the battlefield is Guo Fengxiao. There are many talents around Cao Mengde, but I have always wanted to go to someone who can make him feel at ease and have absolute perception of the battlefield." , only Guo Fengxiao is left!"

"Then what do you think they will do next?"

Mu Jing clenched his fists tightly.

"Hard to say!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Looking at Cao Mengde's mind, if Cao Mengde thinks that he has absolute confidence in taking the eldest son city, then he will come east regardless of the casualties, and fight at all costs to eat the eldest son city before he can eat it." Our Ming army's defensive line can defeat us, and he may still capture His Majesty directly, so no matter how many casualties he pays, it will be worth it to him!"

"Pass down my military order and order Zhang Wenyuan to go south quickly!"

"Yes!"

The personal guard quickly conveyed the military order, and the orderly soldier pulled up the order flag, got on his horse, and went straight to the north.

"Zhicai, after cleaning the battlefield, the whole city is on alert. All soldiers and horses are ready to fight at any time. The soldiers never leave their hands, and their armor never leaves their bodies. What's more, the defense line of the eldest son city needs to be re-arranged. Labor, I want to impress the forests outside the city and between the southeast and connect the battlefields in the southeast outskirts into a single line!"

Mu Jing took a deep breath and said calmly.

"promise!"

Xi Zhi nodded.

At this point, he did not dare to guarantee absolutely that the Wei army would withdraw its troops and wait for the beginning of spring before the decisive battle. In case the Wei army attacked ahead of time, then they had to find a way to deal with it.

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, Li Yan was standing beside him, and he suddenly said, "There is still a big problem. Our food and grass must not be enough to survive the winter. Once we run out of food, we will be in trouble!"

Since Luoyang had a problem, they no longer had food and grass supplies. This was the biggest problem facing the Ming army.

Although Li Yan searched from Hanoi.

But the consumption of their army is too great. Once winter comes, life will become more difficult. Let alone Wei Jun, even if Wei Jun chooses not to carry out, they will be forced to death by food and grass in the end.

Mu Jing's face suddenly darkened: "How long can our food and grass last?"

"Ten days to half a month is already the limit. Winter started early this year, and now there are at least a few months before spring begins. Even if we save food and money, even if we search the northern part of Shangdang, even if we dig Digging up the bark of the weeds and hanging yourself, that won't last!" Li Yan smiled wryly.

"Is there any news from Luo Yang?"

Mu Jing gritted his teeth. If the supply line cannot be restored, then they may have to change their plan. After all, there is no food and grass, and people can be boiled to death. At that time, there is no need to fight, just surrender.

I have to say that Cao Cao's move against Luoyang was really good.

"Not yet!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head: "But I have already asked people to open the Luoyang and Chang'an lines from Hedong. Even if there is a problem with Luoyang, as long as we hold Hedong, go to Hedong from Guanzhong, and then transport it in from Hedong, the efficiency will be low. Some, but at least one way!"

From Shangdang to Hedong, there is no strong official road, and most of the mountain roads make transportation difficult. Even if they are opened up, the efficiency of transportation is not half that of going north directly from Luoyang.

But this may be the last and only food route for the Ming army.

"Not only to get through the grain road in the east, but also to find ways to collect grain in the east, west, Hetao, and even Taiyuan in the north!"

Mu Jing's eyes became a little stern and cold: "At this point, everything is to ensure that our soldiers can have a full meal first, so that we can survive this winter!"

He looked up and saw that there was no snow today, but the sky was gloomy all day long, and said faintly: "If you get through this winter, then the world will belong to Ming Dynasty!"

He firmly believed in it.

"Yes!"

Both Xi Zhicai and Li Yan took the lead, their expressions were serious, and there was even a touch of coldness and madness in their expressions.

..........................................

After the Wei army withdrew, they rested fifty miles to the southeast, and Lu Bu, Guan Hai, and Yan Xingshun joined forces. After the confluence, this force directly formed a deterrent force against the eldest son city.

"How about the casualties?"

Guo Jia looked at the three main generals.

"I'm in the camp, son of a bitch, and there are a lot of casualties!" Lu Bu's face was bitter, and he was trapped in the camp by the state wolf cavalry. Those were all his Xiliang direct descendants, but now, with the casualties again and again, more and more The recruits have joined, and the so-called Bingzhou direct descendants are no longer worthy of their names.

"My lord, so there are a lot of casualties!" Yan Xing said.

He surrendered before the battle, so he needs to work harder, otherwise, how could Yan Xing survive in the Wei army, so this battle, he fought hard.

"Our army joined the battle for less than a day, and withdrew quickly, with less than three hundred casualties!" Guan Hai said softly.

Guan Hai's soldiers and horses are all Xuzhou soldiers, Xuzhou Office is also known as brave and good at fighting, and Guan Hai can be regarded as a titan, but he knows how to preserve his strength better.

"Although your casualties don't seem to be the casualties of a big battle, after all, we are a trial battle, not a death battle, but there is one thing, our combined casualties are still more than double that of the Ming army!"

Guo Jia said bitterly: "In this battle, it seems that we have the upper hand, but the formation of the Ming army is still strong!"

None of the three main generals doubted this point.

The strength of the Ming army is beyond doubt.

"What should we do now?"

Lu Bu asked Guo Jia: "Should we continue to attack?"

He looked at the gloomy sky outside and said, "Based on my experience, this may be a continuous snowfall, at least it will fall for several days in a row. In the next few days, it will be difficult to have good weather!"

His subtext is that in such weather, it is too difficult to attack the city, and it will be very difficult to fight.

Guo Jia thought for a while, and said: "You should camp and rest first. Remember, be careful to guard against the Ming army. Don't think that the Ming army is defending the eldest son city, so you dare not attack. One of the factors is that the Ming army has a desperate mentality in the war. You think they are just for defense, maybe they will give you a counterattack. This time the Ming army is obviously at a disadvantage, and they will not stop there. Yes, if the whole army is really angry at that time, a small part of our main force will be here, and the rest will be rested at Huguan, which is not far from here, and we will not suffer if we fight, but your three armies will definitely Suffering, so you must be careful!"

"Yes!"

The three main generals handed over their orders, but they were still looking at Guo Jia, waiting for Guo Jia's next order.

"I'm returning to Huguan now, after discussing with the king, I will pass the next military order!" Guo Jia got up and said: "Whether this battle will be fought or delayed, there will be a decision in the end, you just go and prepare! "

........................

Half an hour later, Guo Jia returned to Huguan with his own soldiers.

Before dark, he entered Huguan.

"Bong Xiao is back?"

Just as Cao Cao was seeing it, he saw Guo Jia stepping in from the outside. It was impossible for others to break in like this. Only Guo Jia might have this honor.

"The last general, Guo Jia, pay homage to the king!"

"No need to be polite!"

Cao Cao waved his hand, asked Guo Jia to sit next to him, and even asked someone to serve him a pot of warm wine, and said, "The military is hangover, but your body needs it. This is the medical wine from the Taiyuan Hospital. Warm it up. Drink something to warm your body, I don't want you to ruin your body!"

He is very concerned about Guo Jia's body.

"Yes!"

Guo Jia took a sip, then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this wine is a bit strong, it is a medicine bar soaked in Ming wine!"

"You are the most talkative!"

Cao Cao put down the book in his hand, looked at Guo Jia's pale smile, and said with a sigh: "Sometimes I wonder if he was born with this picture of shepherd dragon. It is said that he personally arranged for someone to brew this wine. It is indeed very strong. There is no alcohol in this world that can beat it. I also heard from Yelou that in the wounded barracks of the Ming army, there is something called alcohol that can disinfect wounds. I don't know what disinfection is. , but in this way, many children who were wounded by swords and soldiers survived. This is indeed a fact, but the night building is useless, and the formula of this alcohol has never been heard, which is a pity!"

For Mujing, sometimes Cao Cao has a deep feeling. Many times, he feels that Mujing's knowledge seems to be endless, and he can always do things and things that he doesn't know.

"Your Majesty, don't care about it. Even if there is such a good thing, they will naturally guard against it. As for the Son of Heaven, he is good at learning Mohism, so he can create many special things and use them. It is indeed not easy. !"

Guo Jiadao: "Although the big men are a little behind, as long as we are willing to catch up and learn, one day we will be able to learn everything from them!"

"Hope it!"

Cao Cao said calmly: "No matter what, I have to kill Mu Longtu first. He lives for a day, and he can't sleep or eat when he's alone. The Mu family is not destroyed, and the big man is restless!"

The urgency in his heart was getting heavier and heavier.

The emergence of the Ming Dynasty was the last camel that dragged down the court of the Han Dynasty, especially today's Daming, life is better than that of the people of the Han Dynasty, and in the land of Bashu, the wealth is unparalleled, and there is enough national power to support it. It was a very scary thing, and most importantly, Da Ming also had Mu Longtu, a young overlord whom he couldn't see through, at the helm.

If he couldn't eat Mujing in this battle, he knew that in this lifetime, he would never have another chance, and what awaited him in the end was to be eaten away step by step by the Ming army.

"My lord, this battle of temptation is over!"

Guo Jia thought for a while, and reported: "The war lasted for two days and two nights. Our army suffered more than 500 casualties, and the Ming army also suffered more than 200 casualties!"

"One to two?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, his mind was turning, and said, "They are defending the city, and we are attacking. Under such circumstances, with the weapons and combat power of the Ming army, at least one to three casualties can be maintained. It's normal!"

"One vs. three?" Guo Jia shook his head: "If the tactics of the Ming army are played out, one vs. four or one vs. five won't be a surprise. After all, they use defense instead of offense and have an absolute advantage. They also have long-range weapons. Advantage, it is even more difficult for us to attack under the state of heavy snow falling, and the casualties will be heavier!"

"Then what you mean is that the fighting power of the Ming army is only about [-]% to [-]%!"

"Not even fifty percent!"

"That's a lonely opportunity!"

"not necessarily!"

"How to say?"

"The battle of temptation may not be our temptation. Could it be that they are testing us?" Guo Jia said in a low voice.

"Speak clearly!"

"My lord, after our army cut off Luoyang, there must be a problem with the supply of food and grass for the Ming army. Even if it's winter, they can delay, but they need food and grass!"

Guo Jia analyzed: "I have been thinking about this question all the way back. If the Ming army had no food and grass, what would they do? With the current morale and strength of the Ming army, would they counterattack? This possibility is unlikely, so what about breaking through? , but where can their army go, where can they break through, there are remnants of the Yan army around Shangdang, the gate of Taiyuan, and the southeast is within the range of our troops. They only have the west, but the west is surrounded by mountains. Crossing the mountains in the west to enter the east or the west river is a big test, and even because of the obstacles of the terrain, they will be attacked from behind before they withdraw, so I think they dare not go west Withdraw troops, 10,000+ troops, there is no way to withdraw!"

"Keep talking!" Cao Cao's face became more serious.

"If they can't break through, how should they deal with it? After much deliberation, I thought that they have only two paths. The first is to restore the grain road. The second is to lure us to attack. They defend and have a great advantage. You can still fight us to the death, but once you attack and lose your advantage, you are not our opponent at all!"

Guo Jia changed his analysis, and then said: "So this battle, maybe we are testing, or maybe they are testing our minds!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were a little cold: "Mulongtu is really a good idea!"
