Chapter 617 Mysterious

Twenty miles west of Yecheng, in a wilderness.

Flags were fluttering, and a whole wooden fence surrounded a large area of ​​the field. Surrounded by thousands of elite Liangzhou soldiers wearing military uniforms, they were all full of energy, with sharp eyes, and stood tall and straight like trees rising from the ground. The tall pine trees tell you at a glance that they are elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles.

Occasionally, pedestrians passing by could not help but be frightened when they saw this formation, while the Liangzhou soldiers opened their eyes and reprimanded angrily.

"What are you looking at! Leave quickly!"

"Hmph! We are the imperial masters stationed here for martial arts training. If you don't retreat quickly, we will be treated as spies immediately and will be killed!"

When I saw the Liangzhou army, all of them looked fierce and fierce, and the pedestrians, refugees and merchants who passed by occasionally changed their expressions and ran away, while they were still a little confused in their hearts.

The outer walls are mottled with traces of war. Yecheng, which has been violently attacked by the Liangzhou Army these days, is peaceful. The Liangzhou Army seems to have huddled in the camp and has not come out. The Jizhou Army above the city has suffered many casualties these days. I was young and quite tired, so I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy this rare time.

In the Liangzhou Army barracks, outside the Chinese army's tent.

"I asked to see the general." Jia Xu came outside the camp and reported to the guards in front of the camp.

"It turns out to be Mr. Wenhe." When the guard saw Jia Xu, he bowed respectfully, and then explained: "The general is not in the tent."

Jia Xu frowned: "What, not in the account?"

He couldn't help but wonder, Liu Ye usually handled military affairs at the Zhongjun account. Even if he wanted to see him in the middle of the night, it was easy. Why was he not here now?

"Where did the general go? I went directly to find the general." Jia Xu asked.

The guard showed an embarrassed look on his face: "Well, Mr. Wenhe, please forgive me. I don't know where the general has gone. I only know that the general left last night."

"What?" Jia Xu was surprised: "Where the general is going, even you, the bodyguard, don't know?"

The guard shook his head in embarrassment.

Jia Xu frowned, snorted, turned around and was about to leave, only to see Guo Jia coming up to him with a smile on his face.

"Wen He is so angry, what are you going to do?" he laughed.

When Jia Xu saw Guo Jia, he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward and said, "Fengxiao, I came to look for the general but I don't know where he went. I know that the general values ​​you. Do you know?"

Guo Jia smiled and Jia Xu's eyes sparkled, but he shook his head.

"I don't know. The general left in a hurry this time and didn't want to tell anyone. I don't know. But the general said there was no need to worry about him. He led the two generals Ma Chao and Ma Dai and the newly defected Zhao Zilong. With thousands of cavalry, the safety is not a problem."

"With two generals, Ma Chao and Ma Dai?" Jia Xu said with a strange look on his face: "What is the general going to do? Could it be that he is running thousands of miles to attack and defeat the Wuhuan people by surprise with thousands of cavalry?"

"Hahaha, I don't know what the general is going to do, but I know that he definitely didn't abandon me and escape with thousands of cavalry." Guo Jia suddenly joked.

"Oh? Hahahahaha! You Guo Fengxiao, you are the only one who dares to make fun of the general, hahaha." Jia Xu couldn't help but curl his mouth when he heard this. The two of them laughed loudly at each other, looking at the Liangzhou Army around them. With a confused look on their faces, they all wondered what good things were going on.

"Don't worry, Wenhe." Guo Jia suddenly stopped smiling and said sternly: "The general is definitely not leading the light cavalry to attack the Wuhuan people this time. You must know how noble the general is now. As the saying goes, a son of a daughter cannot sit down. , the general cannot take personal risks, so just leave these matters to his subordinates."

Liu Ye's identity has changed a lot from what it used to be. He rose from being a white man to the general he is today. When he was a white man, he naturally dared to fight. He was barefoot and not afraid of those who wore shoes. Liu Ye often led Qingqi in conflicts. But now Liu Ye is the pillar of the imperial court, and the most important thing is that an interest group has formed around him. Even if Liu Ye wants to rush into battle, his subordinate Wenwu will not easily agree. You must know that Liu Ye still has no heirs.

"Besides, strategically speaking, the general will never attack Wuhuan unexpectedly at this moment."

Guo Jia analyzed: "First, Tadun divided his troops into three groups to fight, and most of the Wuhuan cavalry under his command were scattered and not assembled. It was difficult for the general to defeat the enemy in one battle. Secondly, if the general led the army to drive away the Wuhuan, Yuan Shao would definitely shrink back. The city refused to fight. Only when the Wuhuan cavalry troops approached the city, the Jizhou army remaining in Bingzhou retreated westward, and all the remaining Yuan Shao troops gathered under Yecheng——"

At this point, Guo Jia clenched his five fingers into a fist and said firmly: "In this way, the two armies will decide the outcome, and then Hebei can be decided in one battle!"

"Well said." Jia Xu nodded in approval. He also had deep thoughts and unique vision, so he was naturally able to analyze what Guo Jia said.

"It seems that the general may have secretly prepared for this war this time, so that even we don't know about it." Jia Xu said with emotion: "A hundred thousand troops gathered in Yecheng and defeated Hebei in one battle. It is really rare. When he saw the decisive battle, even Xu could not help but feel shaken."

"I believe that the general will win and the imperial court will win." Guo Jia said firmly.

"Haha, this is natural. After all, the general has not suffered a defeat since he raised his army." Jia Xu said with a smile.

As if thinking of something, Guo Jia took Jia Xu to the camp and said, "Wen He, the generals this time are all cavalry. Ma Chao and Ma Dai are cavalry generals who have experienced hundreds of battles. I heard that Zhao Zilong is also from Hebei Zhending." He was originally a subordinate of General White Horse and is proficient in cavalry and archery. It seems that the general intends to use the cavalry as his trump card to decide the outcome in one battle."

Jia Xu nodded: "The general has fought many times in the past, mostly using cavalry. I don't know what my lord has in mind this time."

In fact, the most important reason why Liu Ye was able to win repeatedly when using troops in the past was the advantage of the cavalry. Ever since Qingzhou raised his troops, Liu Ye had organized a cavalry unit, and the proportion among his troops was not small, with half of them being infantry and cavalry.

Relying on the clash of cavalry and the subsequent cover-up and killing by infantry to expand the results of the battle, Liu Ye could be said to have won every battle despite repeated attempts. As the saying goes, one fresh move can conquer the world. Liu Ye relied on this set of tactics to pacify Yongliang and sweep through Guanzhong.

"Okay, I don't need to speculate any more." Guo Jia said to Jia Xu, "I'll go back to the camp to deal with our affairs and see what the general is going to do this time."

Jia Xu nodded, got on his horse, and galloped away.

Guo Jia glanced at Jia Xu with envy: "It would be great if someone could get on the horse and gallop."

"Guo Jijiu, please get in the car." The sergeant on the side reminded him.
