"Report, Lord Sima, General Pang De asked to see me outside, saying that he came to send a handwritten letter to the Lord on the order of King Zhao."
In the Sima Mansion in Shangjun County, Guo Jia was discussing the future march plan with Zhao Yun, when he suddenly saw a sergeant break in from outside and bow to Guo Jia.After hearing the sergeant's words, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun were both stunned, and then only listened to Guo Jia: "Quickly invite General Pang De in." ”"Yes, sir."
That is, the sergeant ran out of the house in a flash, and Guo Jia and Zhao Yun also walked out of the house together, intending to greet Pang De.Before the two of them walked outside, they saw a general break in, and as soon as they saw the two of them, they bowed their hands and said: "Pang De has seen Lord Sima and General Zilong." ”Looking at Pound's slightly tired expression running all the way, coupled with Pound's serious observance of etiquette, Guo Jia couldn't sigh: "General Pound is really polite, in the future, when the general comes to see me, just enter, and there is no need to report." ”When Pang De heard this, he hurriedly said: "Where is the adult, how can the etiquette of the subordinates be ignored." ”At first, Pang De was a relatively upright and little-spoken person, but since the Xiliang Ma family was almost destroyed, he fled all the way to Zhao Yu.Here, Pound saw all kinds of etiquette and respect from the top and bottom of the monarch and ministers, which made Pound's originally rude mind change a little.No matter what position you hold, you must order yourself to restrain yourself from every little thing in words and deeds, so that you can train a good soldier.After listening to Pang De's words, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun both nodded approvingly, and then only listened to Guo Jiadao: "I don't know what secret letter General Pang De brought to King Zhao this time, and he actually asked General Pang De to deliver it in person." ”"Oh, my lord, look."
After Pang De finished speaking, he hurriedly took out the secret letter in his arms and handed it to Guo Jia respectfully with both hands.Guo Jia immediately took it, opened it carefully and looked at it carefully, the content of the letter was not much, only a few paragraphs, but it was of great significance.In the letter, Zhao Yu ostensibly asked Guo Jia to immediately start preparing for the plan of sending troops to attack Bingzhou after receiving the letter, and also said that although the three armies of Bingzhou each had a marching division, Zhao Jun was appointed as the commander of the three armies, and Guo Jia was the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and all actions between the three armies belonged to Guo Jia's dispatch, and the three armies must closely cooperate with Guo Jia's actions.In addition, he also said that if Guo Jia felt that there was not enough manpower, he could order all the generals and ministers in the army to use it at any time, as long as Guo Jia gave an order, no matter where the generals were, they must rush to cooperate with Guo Jia's actions.It can be said that Zhao Yu handed over all the ruling power of the army to Guo Jia this time, which is enough to show Zhao Yu's trust in Guo Jia.You must know that this is the command of 300,000 vanguard soldiers and horses, not to mention that Zhao Yu also gave Guo Jia a person who can command all the generals and ministers in the army at any time for his use.If you put it another way, then Guo Jia's identity this time can be called the status of the generalissimo of soldiers and horses in the army.Putting away the letter, Guo Jia took a deep breath, suppressed the gratitude in his heart, and said to Pang De: "General Pang De, presumably this time King Zhao has arranged a suitable marching position for the general, if Guo Jia is not mistaken, King Zhao is to let General Pang De assist Wang Shizi's army."
It's just that I don't know who else is with me, and I hope the general will tell the truth. ”Pang De immediately said without hesitation: "It is worthy of Lord Sima, King Zhao is the soldier and horse who let Pang De be responsible for assisting Wang Shizi, in addition to Pang De, there are also General Cheng Gongying and Lord Xu Shu, and the two of them went to report to Wang Shizi.It's just that Pang De has a secret military intelligence letter, so he comes to see Master Sima first, and then he can return. ”Hearing that it was Xu Shu who went with him, Guo Jia couldn't help but nodded and said: "It turned out to be Xu Yuanzhi, I know, if he follows Wang Shizi, then Guo Jia will be relieved."
General Pang De can go back now and tell Wang Shizi that the army will start a war against Xiliang in three days, and this time Wang Shizi and Youxian Wang's soldiers and horses will be in charge of attacking the Fuping area in the north.As for how to attack Fuping in the north, I think it must not be difficult to use Yuan Zhi's resourcefulness, although Cao Jun has capable people, but as long as Yuan Zhi goes all out, even Guo Jia will be difficult to resist. ”Listening to Guo Jia's evaluation of Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and Sergeant Pang De were taken aback.In fact, it is no wonder that after Xu Shu left Liu Bei and switched to Zhao Yu, he had been exchanging the art of war with Guo Jia for a period of time.It's just that this array is too large and can never be cooperated with by a small number of people, so it has not been able to show its power, which is a big pity.After Guo Jia finished speaking, he couldn't help but pause and said again: "When Wang Shizi's army takes Fuping City, the army will defend with all its might, and it must not attack.This time, there are hundreds of thousands of troops of Cao's army stationed in Xiliang, we must advance carefully, and there must not be a trace of carelessness and luck, otherwise a mistake is very likely to be ruined, and I hope General Pang De will warn it. ”Pang De immediately bowed to Guo Jia, and said quite seriously: "Please rest assured, Lord Sima, in the past, the Cao army and the Ma family army were defeated, and Pang De has already suffered a painful lesson.And this lesson has always been deeply seared in my Pound's heart, so Pound will never forget it. ”Seeing Pang De's serious look, Guo Jia couldn't help but say with confidence: "Okay, with General Pang De's words, Guo Jia is much more relieved, because of the urgency of the situation this time, Guo Jia will not leave the general to stay again."
After our army takes Xiliang in the future, Guo Jiading will set up a banquet to entertain the general, and the general will walk slowly. ”Pang De bowed to the two of them at the moment and said, "Lord Sima and General Zilong say goodbye." ”That is, the whole person has rushed out of the house.It wasn't until after Pang De left that Zhao Yun opened his mouth to ask Guo Jia and said: "Military division, this time King Zhao has ordered troops to attack the Xiliang Cao army, what is the marching plan of the military division, do you want Zilong to order a sentry to investigate the movements of the Xiliang Cao army." ”Guo Jia shook his head and said, "To investigate the matter of Xiliang Cao Jun, I had already ordered the people of Xuanwu Hall to do it before.Cao Jun's people are very cunning, and they may have guessed that our army would send outposts to investigate the military situation in Xiliang, so although Cao Jun has already made arrangements in various places in Xiliang, he has put everything away.Even the respective leading commanders did not come out, and they all hid in one place, and it seemed that it would not be until after the war that the defending generals and armies of their respective cities and counties would be determined.From this point of view, it is obvious that we have known for a long time that our army will attack Xiliang in the near future, so we have made preparations in advance. ”After hearing Guo Jia's words, Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh: "It is worthy of the Cao army, it seems that in order to deal with the attack of our army this time, the Cao army is still quite troubled, but I don't know which generals and advisers the Cao army will send to deal with our army this time." ”Guo Jia immediately said to Zhao Yun: "General Zilong doesn't have to bother so much, although we can't grasp the enemy's intelligence and whereabouts this time, those Cao troops can't grasp the movements of our army.Once the two sides finally decided on the route of the march, it was impossible to make changes, and I think the Cao army was also speculating about our march at the moment.Or in order to defend our army, the Cao army has a headache, as the so-called soldiers will block the water to the earth, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, we don't need to worry too much about this, no matter who leads the army this time, we just need to go all out.Instead of worrying about this matter now, it is better to let the army do the final rectification, and three days later, the three armies will be caught off guard by the Cao army. ”Zhao Yun immediately couldn't help but admire: "It is worthy of being a military advisor, and he can still talk and laugh in this situation, looking at today, the one who can do this is the ghost Guo Fengxiao." ”I only heard Guo Jiayan say: "There is still one thing now, General Lao Zilong sent someone to run."
This time the three armies attacked together, in addition to our army and Wang Shizi's army, General Ma Chao has not yet been notified, today after we received the military order from King Zhao, we have not yet notified General Ma Chao, we need to be notified immediately, and three days later, we will send troops together to attack the Xiliang Cao army.Ma Chao has always grown up in Xiliang, and he is far more familiar with the terrain of Xiliang than we are, so he ordered General Ma Chao to send troops from Shuofang to detour and attack the land of Xiliang's martial arts.Our army attacked the northern part of Xiliang Beidi, and divided with Wang Shizi's army to devour Cao's army in Xiliang Beidi, waiting for an opportunity to open a road to Xiliang first. ”"Don't worry, Zilong will arrange for someone to go to the communication."
At that moment, Zhao Yun arranged for a cronie to go to Ma Chao's garrison in person, truthfully informed Ma Chao of the words conveyed by Zhao Yun, and ordered him to detour from Shuofang to capture Xiliang Wuwei three days later.And Ma Chao couldn't help but be excited after learning the news, since a few months ago, after following King Zhao to welcome the Son of Heaven back to Jizhou, Ma Chao knew that King Zhao would order an attack on Xiliang at any time, which was also Ma Chao's wish all along.After a battle with Cao Jun a few years ago, Ma Jiajun was almost destroyed in his own hands, and Ma Chao was once in a slump, if it weren't for Ma Dai who had been following him and encouraging himself, he would really give up on himself.Ma Chao first defected to Zhang Lu, and then was ostracized, and was even almost assassinated by Zhang Lujun's lieutenant generals.Later, just as he was about to switch to Liu Bei, King Zhao appeared and led him back to Jizhou together.It didn't take long for King Zhao to officially ascend to the throne of King Zhao after Cao Cao ascended to the throne of Wei, and named himself one of the five tiger generals in the army, which can be said to have given him a very high honor.His brothers and sisters Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Ma Yunlu, and the former general Pang De all survived because of King Zhao's merits, so Ma Chao had nothing to repay for King Zhao's kindness.Although after pressing Xiliang this time, Xiliang still does not belong to the Ma family, but belongs to the territory of King Zhao, but Ma Chao is also willing, because Ma Chao thinks the same as Pang De and Cheng Gongying, Xiliang will get better and better in the hands of King Zhao
