There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

The surrounding guards hurried over.

"General, how are you?"

"General!"

Xia Houyuan stretched out his hand and pushed the guards aside: "Get out of the way!"

Then, I saw Xia Houyuan looking viciously at the golden armored figure holding a bow in the opposite army formation, gnashing his teeth and saying: "Old man Huang Zhong, just wait for me!"

The battle under the city was in full swing, and the pottery merchant observed the situation below from the city, and listened to the report from the school affairs office on the surrounding situation from time to time.

Unlike the pottery merchant, Guo Jia was in the city gate tower, carefully looking at the map, and muttering in doubt: "There must be something wrong with this, there must be something I didn't expect, there must be."

Chapter 834 Breaking the Enemy's Scheme

If anyone else is here, they will definitely say that Guo Jia has nothing to do right now, and he is just looking for boredom and figuring it out.

In fact, Guo Jia also knew that what he was doing right now was superfluous, but for some reason, he was not at ease in his heart.

Together with the advisors, the pottery merchant had deduced that the other party was using this battle to send troops to attack the surrounding camps, but Guo Jia felt that there was something wrong.

But what exactly is the problem?Guo Jia couldn't figure it out for the time being.

At this time, the potter walked into the city gate.

Guo Jia raised his head, looked at him, and said: "The Prime Minister is not on the tower to order troops and send generals to supervise the battle, why did you come in person?"

The pottery merchant smiled slightly: "There is nothing worth seeing over there now. The generals of the two sides come and go, and the battle formations set up by Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are evenly divided. I can't tell the winner for a while. In the event of a victory or defeat, it is also the kind that hurts the enemy one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred, so there is no need to worry about it, but you, why did you come here by yourself instead of watching the enemy's situation on the city with me?"

Guo Jia was silent for a while, and said: "Guo always feels that there seems to be something wrong here."

"What's wrong?"

Guo Jia was silent for a long time, and finally said after a long while: "Over the years, Guo has found out little by little through the information collected by the school office that there are people like Jia Xu under Cao Cao's command. He is very sophisticated in his actions and has a great strategy in doing things, which is not comparable to taking it easy, once he makes a move, it will never be a small move."

The pottery merchant nodded, and said: "We all expected this. Just now, Tai Shici, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Ji Ling and other generals stationed outside sent people to report that they had been attacked by the princes of Guanzhong. For the cavalry attack, fortunately, all the camps have already been alerted by us, and they have already made preparations for the battle, and now all the camps have started fighting with the enemy, almost allowing Jia Xu's plan to succeed."

Guo Jia shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "That's not right."

"What's wrong?"

Guo Jia raised his hand, scratched his forehead vigorously, and said: "The camp we set up outside the city has long been attacked by Cao Cao and the Allied Forces of the Three Lius, not once or twice, just Wen Chou and Tai Shici fought For a while, although this strategy seems reasonable on the surface, if you think about it, how could Jia Xu set the focus of the strategy on several camps that have been contested by both sides for countless times? If this is the case, either The old thing is not that powerful, or there is something we haven't thought of."

"Things that have never been thought of?" The potter frowned, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said, "The key to reasoning about something is to look at some things that we ignore but exist objectively. Things, if the facts are as you said, then in this battle, what have we overlooked?"

"Ignore?" Guo Jia whispered, "What will we ignore?"

The potter closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly said slowly: "Where did Cao Jun, Jingzhou Army, and Yizhou soldiers from the Guanzhong Army go?"

The pottery's words were like thunder on the ground, waking Guo Jia up suddenly, and he suddenly recalled it after being enlightened.

"It's broken! That old thing is really good at calculating!"

Seeing that Guo Jia seemed to understand something, the potter's heart couldn't help but he stood up hastily and said, "What's the matter?"

Guo Jia walked quickly to the table, pointed to Pitu and said, "Not far from the rear of Qufu City, thirty miles southeast, is Jinqi City, which is guarded between the three mountains on the border of our army. A point of connection with Xuzhou can be said to be the lifeblood of our army's rear. Once this place is conquered, Han Hao, Zhang Zhao and others will have raised food and grass, and they will not be able to send it to the front line at all. The land is basically out of our control, and there will be endless troubles."

The potter looked at Jin Qicheng on the map and said, "Even if what you said is right, Jin Qicheng is behind us and in the mountains. How can the Cao-Liu allied forces step over us to capture it?" "

When talking about this, the pottery merchant suddenly remembered something, he exchanged glances with the astonished Guo Jia, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"The Xichuan army is good at mountain travel!"

"Boom!" The potter punched the table heavily, and said through gritted teeth, "It's dangerous, it's dangerous! It's really dangerous! Old man Jia Xu, I'll never end this matter with him later!"

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "It's not too late. The prime minister has to make a decision quickly and send troops to support the rear. Otherwise, once the Yizhou army succeeds in crossing the mountain and captures Jin Qi, we will be completely passive in this battle."

The potter nodded and said: "That's right, but it doesn't matter. Now that we know what Jia Xu's plan is, then we don't have to be afraid. It doesn't matter that the Yizhou army is good at mountain warfare, but the Danyang elite soldiers under my command are good at this. This time, I will have a good time with Cao Cao, just yesterday Zang Ba went back to the city due to something, and Tao took him and Tao Ji to personally meet those Yizhou soldiers who are good at fighting."

Guo Jia was shocked when he heard the words: "The prime minister will go to the battle in person, but who should preside over here?"

"You!" The potter pointed at Guo Jia: "I will leave everything here to you, and I will let Lu Su and Chen Deng assist you. Besides, this is not the center of gravity of the enemy army. They are just using it to delay time." That being the case, then let's return the same way to the other, and let's use this to restrain the enemy army."

"Use the way of the other to give back to the other." Guo Jia muttered each word for a while, and then said: "I never thought that such a golden sentence would come from your mouth. It seems that Guo knows you well. It's not deep enough."

The pottery merchant smiled slightly: "There is no one in this world who really understands me yet. But if the enemy makes up his mind to attack Jin Qi City, then this day may not be enough. , After today, Cao Cao will definitely let Pang Tong continue to fight with us tomorrow, if he really does this, how should he answer, do you know it well?"

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, Guo can handle such trivial matters."

"Don't let them see the flaw."

"It's natural."

After ordering Guo Jia's business, Tao Ji and Zang Ba came to the pottery: "I have seen the prime minister."

"Tao Ji, immediately prepare your Danyang elite soldiers and fast horses. Let's return to Jin Qi City first, and then enter the mountain from Jin Qi to fight a mountain battle. This time, it's time for your Danyang soldiers to show their strength Zang Ba, you turn around to greet Sun Guan, and go with me, you used to live in the mountains, this time you need to make meritorious service."

Tao Ji never had any doubts about the potter's orders, so he went to prepare without saying a word.

Zang Ba seemed a little puzzled: "Prime Minister, what happened?"

The pottery merchant explained to him concisely.

After hearing this, Zang Ba stuck out his tongue in amazement: "I didn't expect the Cao-Liu coalition army to be so insidious, even to use such a low-level move. It's thanks to them for thinking it out."

However, Guo Jia said from the side: "General Zang, Cao Cao may not trust Xichuan soldiers so much. If the Sichuan army really attacked Jin Qicheng from the mountain road, with Cao Cao's character, he would definitely send a guide to follow the army to monitor. Now, who do you think Cao Cao will send?"

Zang Ba pondered carefully for a while, and suddenly an angry look appeared on his face: "You mean Chang Xi?"

Chapter 835 The Pottery Merchant

The fight between Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang went from day to night, from the day when the sun was high, to sunset, but there was no winner.

Seeing that the sky was getting late and the battle could no longer be fought, both sides sent out their own signals to order their own soldiers and generals to retreat.

Fighting requires skill, and you have to listen to the signals from the rear constantly, and listening to the signals is actually much more tiring than ordinary battles.

It is indeed a good thing for the main generals of the two sides to stop fighting.

The two sides followed the military order and slowly withdrew towards the rear.

But Zhuge Liang ordered a row of loud sergeants to stand in front of him and shouted to Pang Tong.

"Mr. Shi Yuan is indeed an expert who is proficient in battle formations. Today's battle was really an eye-opener. The sir's formation method has changed eight times in a day. Mr. Qizheng of each sect has dabbled in it. It's really admirable."

Although Pang Tong is ugly, he has a very high spirit and a bit of arrogance. What he likes most is when others praise him.

Now that Zhuge Liang praised him so much, Pang Tong's nose almost didn't grow any longer.
