Taking stock of the counselor rankings, Guo Jia only ranks at the bottom?

Immediately, he nodded and said with great joy:"The words of filial piety are very much to my liking."

"If I hadn't been filial, I would have almost made a big mistake!!"

Guo Jia's point of view hit the nail on the head. After hearing this, Cao Cao immediately gathered his troops.

Attack the north and march into Liucheng.

Guo Jia went out with the army as a military advisor.

Afterwards,

Liu Bei, who received the news of Cao Cao's Northern Expedition to Wuhuan in Jingzhou, naturally wanted to instigate Liu Biao to take advantage of Cao's army. Weak, he raided Xuchang, but as Guo Jia expected, he was immediately rejected by Liu Biao.

After all, in addition to Cao Cao,

Liu Biao was also extremely afraid of Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei was extremely helpless, he had no choice but to give up.

See Here, everyone in the world is also horrified.

Although they have long seen Guo Jia's ability to see through people's hearts and make endless calculations.

But seeing him succeed in his calculations again and again, everyone is still horrified.

You know, the human heart is the world It is the most difficult thing to see through.

But in Guo Jia's hands, it seems that he can completely control it.

It makes people even feel a little creepy.

Everyone in the Han Dynasty is also more and more horrified.

Within Gaotang County,

Liu Bei's face is full of fear.

"This Guo Jia is really terrifying!"

"With his help, Cao Cao is almost difficult to defeat!!"

Liu Biao from Jingzhou also had an ugly look on his face.

Guo Jia had seen through him completely.

He even looked down on him.

"Guo Fengxiao actually said that I was a politician who only knew how to talk, but he still got it right.

Damn it! You have disgraced me, Liu Jingsheng!!"

Liu Biao's face was very ugly at the moment.

After being exposed like this,

I am afraid that many military officers and counselors will no longer be willing to defect to him.

Cao Cao of Chenliu County was happy and laughed.

"Fengxiao, Fengxiao, I really love you to death!!"

Afterwards.

As they set off for the expedition,

Cao Cao's army arrived at Yicheng.

The speed was quite good.

But Guo Jia, who was accompanying the army, felt that the speed of advancement was still too slow, so he said:"We have to speed up!!

Cao Cao said:"Fengxiao's words are very reasonable.""

So he led the three armies, large and small, and marched forward.

He saw fire dancing in the yellow sand, strong winds blowing, and the road was rugged, making it difficult for people and horses to move.

Seeing this, Cao Cao wanted to return to the army and asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia was not acclimatized at this time. , lying ill in the car.

He felt like he was dying.

Cao Cao cried and said:"Because I want to flatten the desert, and I want you to travel long distances and suffer, and even get sick. How can I feel at ease?"

Guo Jia said:"Even if I die, it will be difficult to repay the Prime Minister's great kindness to me."

Cao Cao said,"I think the roads in the north are rugged and I want to return to the army. What do you think?"

Guo Jia said:"Soldiers are valuable and quick." Now on a thousand-mile expedition, the baggage has become a burden.

It is better to attack with light troops and attack them unprepared. But you need to find a good guide."

Cao Cao then left Guo Jia to recuperate in Yizhou and look for a guide to guide the way.

Someone recommended Yuan Shao's old general Tian Chou, and Cao Cao summoned him for questioning.

Tian Chou said:"There is water on this road between autumn and summer, and it is too deep for cars to pass. The horse is too shallow to carry the boat, and it is difficult to move.

It is better to return to the army, cross the dangerous Baitan area from Lulongkou, walk out of the open area, approach Liucheng, and attack it unprepared.

I think Tadun can be captured in one battle."

Cao Cao made Tianchou the general of Jingbei, serving as a guide and the vanguard.

Zhang Liao followed, and Cao Cao took charge of the rear army and led his light cavalry on both sides of the road.

Later, this battle became a story in the history of Chinese wars where"the superiority of the troops, the speed of the troops, and the victory of the surprise troops" One of the most classic battle examples. It will go down in history. After Cao Cao set up some illusions of withdrawing his troops, he immediately followed Guo Jia's plan and secretly led a group of lightly-armed elite troops. Under the leadership of his guide Tian Chou, he suddenly appeared behind Wuhuan.

Tian Chou led Zhang Liao there. After Bailang Mountain, they happened to encounter Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang joining Tadun, who was coming with tens of thousands of horses.

Zhang Liao quickly reported the matter to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao reined in his horse and climbed up to look, only to see that Tadun's team had no formation. It’s uneven.

Cao Cao said to Zhang Liao:

"The enemy soldiers are not in order and can attack."

So Zhang Liao was authorized to command the troops.

Zhang Liao led Xu Chu, Yu Jin, and Xu Huang down the mountain in four groups, and attacked with all their strength. Ta Dun was in chaos.

Zhang Liao slapped his horse and killed Ta Dun and his horse, and everyone surrendered.

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang had no choice but to surrender. Cao Cao led thousands of cavalry to flee to Liaodong.

Cao Cao entered Liucheng and made Tianchou the Marquis of Liuting to guard Liucheng. Tianchou cried and said,"I was originally a person who fled unjustly.

Thanks to your kindness, I have been able to survive. Lucky for you.

How can I sell Lulong Village in exchange for a reward?

I would rather die than accept the Marquis award."

Cao Cao then appointed Tian Chou as Yilang.

Tian Chou hated Wu Huan for killing people at will. He had long wanted to defeat Wu Huan, but he was not strong enough.

So he served as Cao Cao's guide, helped Wu Huan conquer Wu Huan, and made great achievements.

Cao Cao made him a marquis, and he was He refused.

Later, Cao Cao tried to confer officials and titles on Tian Chou again and again, but Tian Chou would rather die than obey. This shows that his character was stubborn.

Cao Cao appeased Shan Yu and others, got tens of thousands of horses, and returned to the army that day.

At this time, the weather It was dry and cold, there was no water within 200 miles, and the army was short of food, so they had to kill horses to satisfy their hunger. Only after drilling thirty or forty feet of ground did they see water.

Cao Cao returned to Yizhou and rewarded those who had admonished him.

Cao Cao was right The generals said:"I ignored the danger and the expedition was successful.

This victory was a blessing from God and is not worth imitating.

Your advice is the best solution, so I reward you. If you have anything to say in the future, feel free to say it."

This is one of Cao Cao's great strengths.

He never blocked his opinions and listened to everyone's suggestions, which led him to make as few mistakes as possible and unify the north.

When Cao Cao arrived in Yizhou, Guo Jia had been dead for several days.

Coffin It was placed in the official office.

Cao Cao went to worship and cried loudly:"Fengxiao died, God is trying to kill me!" Cao

Cao turned back to the officials and said,"You are about the same age as me. Only Fengxiao is the youngest.

I was going to entrust him with my funeral affairs. I didn't expect that he died in middle age, which really broke my heart!""

Guo Jia's men handed the letter Guo Jia wrote before his death to Cao Cao and said:

"In this letter written by Duke Guo himself before his death, he said:"If the prime minister does what he said in the letter, he can pacify Liaodong."’"

Cao Cao opened the letter and nodded frequently. No one knew what it meant.
