Yinhou of the Three Kingdoms

……

Guandu.

Since August of the first year of Jian'an, Cao Jun and Yuan Jun have lined up on both sides of the Yellow River, facing each other for three months.

When the weather entered November, although the weather became warmer this year, it was considered a mild winter, but no one could be happy, because anyone with a bit of common sense knew what it meant for a plague to encounter a mild winter.

At this time, Guo Jia received Cao Cao's military order to go to Guandu to inspect the defense of the army. Although Guo Jia was puzzled, he packed up and went straight to Guandu.

Guandu is about [-] miles south of Xudu, not too far away from Xudu. Although this place looks ordinary, it is the south gate of Xudu. Therefore, Guandu has become a must for both Cao and Yuan armies. place.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold!

Applying this idiom is the most suitable place here, because Guandu is on the south bank of the Yellow River, and once Yuan Jun crosses the river and breaks Guandu, the two hundred miles of plains are enough for the army to drive straight in and kill Xudu directly.

"This...is the last key of Xudu, so don't throw it away!"

Guo Jia rode on the horse, looking at the water of the Yellow River, and said with emotion.

"Mr. Guo, why do you still want to inspect Baima and Yanjin?"

Cao Ang was dressed in a dark brown suit and followed Guo Jia in a very low-key manner, looking like a follower.

"Does the eldest son know how the lord fought against Yuan Jun?"

The turbid water of the Yellow River lapped against the shore, and the waves kept tumbling towards the east. Guo Jia was a little dazed watching it. "Well... Father, in order to intercept Yuan Jun's sneak attack, sent General Zang Ba to lead the Shenyi Army from Langye to the Qingzhou border. On the one hand, it was to contain Yuan Shao and consolidate the right wing, and on the other hand, it was also to be able to guard against Yuan Tan in Qingzhou. , I heard from my father that I can fight against Xuzhou when necessary.

The government soldiers jointly attacked Qingzhou and entered Qi, Beihai, Dong'an and other places! "

Cao Ang raised his face and explained Cao Cao's deployment.

"Then, starting with Xudu, the king ordered General Yujin to lead a 5000-strong Right Weiwei army to guard Yanjin, an important ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River, so as to assist Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun who guarded Baima.

In this way, on the one hand, it can prevent Yuan Jun from crossing the river and driving southward, on the other hand, he can also build a fortress to help Guandu share the pressure of Yuan Jun!

As for the important place of Guandu, my father even asked Uncle Cao Hong to replace General Zhang Liao. Now Guandu is where General Zhang Liao leads the Zuo Qianniu Guard to station and defend! "

Hearing Cao Ang's words, Guo Jia nodded. He still hadn't figured out what Cao Cao meant. Not only did he send him here, but he also asked Cao Ang to come with him.

"Young Master is right. You should know that Baima, Yanjin, and Guandu are three places, but the places known as the 'Three Crunches of the Yellow River' are naturally the places that military strategists must contend for.

The terrain of Baima is dangerous, and it is the closest to Yuan Jun. This place is also the place where the enemy and us have the most frequent friction, so its importance is self-evident.

The city of Yanjin is located behind the white horse, and the city wall is deep and strong. If our army's battle line is extended, this place will be the key point for our army to turn around. Guandu in the rear is a rock!

Now, does the eldest son understand the importance of these three cities? "

Guo Jia spared no effort to teach Cao Ang that the heir of King Wei is obviously not as smart as that boy Fazheng, and the overall situation still needs to be improved!

"Thank you, Mr. Guo, Ang understands! It's just... but there is still one thing I don't understand?"

Cao Ang showed a shy look on his face and scratched his head, but he was a little embarrassed.

"Speak!"

Guo Jia nodded encouragingly to Cao Ang.

"Ang has benefited a lot from what Mr. said, but...isn't Uncle Xiahou the governor of Yanzhou? Since Guandu is so important, why does he divide his troops in the Aocang area west of Guandu!" Cao Ang's doubts are also shared by everyone. He knew that the governor Cao Ang was talking about was Xiahou Dun, who was also the third governor of the Cao Wei Group, and the second was naturally Xiahouyuan who guarded the pass, while the first was a temporary governor. Metropolitan Ning Rong, it is still time

It happened when Lu Bu and Chen Gong rebelled.

"What do you say?"

Guo Jia did not answer Cao Ang, but threw the question to Cao Ang.

"Huh? Mr. Guo doesn't know either?" Cao Ang scratched his head, a little surprised that he didn't even know about ghosts?

Chapter 962 Guandu Guard Zhang Liao

"Cough! Some things can't be rushed! You'll know later!"

Guo Jia said ambiguously, Cao Ang had no choice but to let go of his doubts.

"Go! Go to Guandu!"

Guo Jia spent a while writing poems about the water of the Yellow River, and then turned his horse's head and headed towards Guandu.

……

"Report... to the general, and arrest Yuan Jun's spies, and they have been taken to the barracks!"

Zhang Liao held the military book in his hand, and was reading it with great interest, when a soldier came to report him suddenly, which interrupted his interest, and his face was a bit displeased.

"What's the fuss about Yuan Jun's spy, just kill him!"

Zhang Liaodu was lying on the handsome chair, holding the military book in his hand, his eyes were calm and steady, and he swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, he was like a general.

Speaking of which, since the Ning family's woodware shop has grown, all kinds of grand master's chairs, Eight Immortals tables, rocking chairs, rattan tables and other weird and weird furniture have entered the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Although Ning Rong did not interfere with the family business, after the last rectification, although the Ning family's business lost some profits, it seemed to be much cleaner, and he cut off those unclear connections before.

It is impossible for one family to monopolize one's interests alone. Cutting off one's wealth is like killing one's parents. Ning Rong has not yet reached the point where money is his life. Now Ning's family runs a woodworking shop and a bookstore.

Speaking of the bookstore, it has changed a lot in the past year. Before, Ning Rong was afraid that books would be used to finance powerful enemies, but later on, you found out that it was not as good as sparse. You have no way to determine who the seller is?Or who are they buying the books for!

Therefore, Ning Rong was determined to learn from Dayu's water control, and it is better to block it than to avoid it. Anyway, before he came, there were already books from the Han Dynasty, so why not just use them to print and sell them for money?As a result, the Ningjia Bookstore expanded to all the prefectures and counties of the Han Dynasty at an extremely fast speed. Even Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, who were the most hostile to Cao Cao, did not prohibit them from governing the business of the Ningjia Bookstore. The child is cold and hostile, and... the clean and refreshing book

They also like it.Eliminating it at the source is the most effective way.Therefore, since Ning Rong's bookstore business has spread all over the world, he has set his sights on the academy. All the books he wrote, or the books in the academy, must not be revealed to the outside world, and the students of the academy seem to have reached a consensus.

Doomed to keep his knowledge secret, it made Ning Rong realize that they cared more about that knowledge than himself, just like a family likes to collect books.

...

And what Zhang Liao is sitting on now is the latest general chair from Ningjia Wooden Ware Co., Ltd. According to reports, this chair can increase the general's bearing and prestige, and it can also allow the general to move freely. Even sitting on the chair, he can wield weapons.

cough!

It is too easy to imitate wooden utensils. In ancient times when there was no patent law, many small workshops kept imitating the furniture of the Ning family, but Ning Rong ignored them and let them develop. The Ning family only needs to innovate.

"Hmm...why haven't you finished writing this book of Shilin Yiyu?"

Zhang Liao muttered with some dissatisfaction that it is easy to get sleepy reading military books, and this kind of story-based military books is his favorite, which is another form that Ning Rong inadvertently led.

"The general wants to read a book, just arrest the person who wrote it!"

The soldier chuckled and suggested to Zhang Liao.

"Get out! What do you know, these scholars of the academies and colleges will not be able to be provoked!"
