Three Kingdoms King of the North

Seeing that Han Zhan had already made a decision, Huang Zhong couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only reply: "The general will obey."

After the discussion, Han Zhan returned to the backyard.Lihua, who was busy in the house, saw Han Zhan walking into the house from outside, with a surprised expression on her face: "My lord, are you done with the government affairs?"

"Well, it's over." Sitting on the bed, Han Zhan said weakly, "It's still easy when I was the son of Jizhou Mu, and I don't have to worry about anything."

Hearing what Han Zhan said, Li Hua, who was walking over with a basin of water, said with a smile, "Young master, if Mr. Han hadn't been bewitched by the thieves of Fengji back then, and gave up Jizhou to Yuan Shao, young master, he would still have nothing to do at this moment." Don’t worry about it, the eldest son of Jizhou Mu.”

After serving Han Zhan to wash his face, Li Hua asked his servants to take out the basin, then sat beside Han Zhan, and asked cautiously, "My lord, when will my uncle be able to return to Yecheng?"

"Your uncle?!" Han Zhan, who was thinking about something, was taken aback when he heard Lihua's question, then remembered that Lihua was Xu Shu's niece, and replied with a smile: "Mr. Yuanzhi still has important affairs in Chang'an." Things need to be dealt with, and it may take at least one or two months before we can return to Yecheng."

Knowing that Xu Shu would have to wait a month or two before returning to Yecheng, Lihua showed a disappointed expression on her face.Han Zhan stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek lightly, "Lihua, you are the eldest lady of the Xu family, and it would be disrespectful to stay in my house as a maid. In my opinion, you should come back sooner." The Xu family goes to serve your grandmother."

Han Zhan said this in a joking tone, but after hearing this, Lihua's eyes turned red, and she asked with a choked voice, "My lord, do you despise Lihua now?"

"I hate you?" Han Zhan asked in a daze, "Lihua, where do you start?"

Lihua looked up at Han Zhan, and asked, "If you don't dislike Lihua, why would you drive me out of the State Shepherd's Mansion?"

Chapter 300 Decoy

"Mr. Guo?!" Hearing the soldier's report, Zhao Yun couldn't help frowning: "Which Mr. Guo?"

Before the soldier could answer, a familiar voice came from outside the hall: "Which Mr. Guo, of course it is me!"

Seeing Guo Jia go and come back, Zhao Yun couldn't help being overjoyed. He knew very well that Han Zhan attached great importance to Guo Jia because of his superior strategy.If Guo Jia was here, it would be much easier to deal with Li Jue and Guo Si.

After Guo Jia sat down, he said to the two men, "Jia was on the way. I heard that you were worried about Li and Guo, so I ordered Zhang Liao and his subordinates to lead the people to continue northward. Jia came back and wished you a helping hand."

Hearing what Guo Jia said, Zhao Yun and Xu Shu looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.Zhao Yun got up quickly, bowed deeply to Guo Jia, and said: "If you can get help from your husband, then Li and Guo will die without a place to bury them."

Guo Jia waved the feather fan in his hand and said unhurriedly: "Li Guo and his men are all cavalry, and they come and go like flying; while our army is basically infantry, even if we defeat them, as long as they escape, they will not be able to catch up. "

"What Mr. Feng Xiao said is very true." As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Zhao Yun echoed: "If they were all infantry, we would have killed all of them."

"When Li and Guo were at war, there were countless villages outside the city. They could search for food and grass from those places to replenish soldiers." Guo Jia said lightly: "Now there is no one in the village, and the two of them want to collect food and grass. It is almost impossible to replenish troops.”

"Mr. Feng Xiao," Xu Shu added, "Li and Guo have suffered a great loss from our army's ambush, so it may not be easy to use the ambush strategy to deal with them again."

"The terrain in the west of the city, even if we want to set up an ambush, there is no suitable place." Guo Jia smiled and said to Xu Shu: "We can change the place to set up an ambush to another direction."

"Other directions?" Zhao Yun asked curiously, "Mr. Feng Xiao, which direction is it?"

Guo Jia saw a hand-painted map on the table in front of Zhao Yun, so he got up and walked over, pointing to the east of the city, and said, "Li and Guo are waiting for an opportunity when we leave Chang'an with all the people. , he led his troops to chase after them. Because our soldiers want to protect the people, it is naturally impossible to fight them with all their strength, and they may be defeated by then."

Both Zhao Yun and Xu Shu agreed with Guo Jia's statement.Once all the people left Chang'an, Chang'an would be an empty city, and the soldiers and horses of Li Jue and Guo Si could come in and out freely.If they followed up and pursued them again, the soldiers responsible for protecting the people would definitely not be able to fight with all their strength. Even if Zhao Yun personally supervised the battle at that time, they might still lose the battle.

"There must be spies from Li and Guo in the city. We can spread the word that because of the lack of military rations, the last two batches of civilians may temporarily stay in Chang'an until food and grass are brought from the direction of Yecheng." Guo Jia told the two of them. Said: "As long as Li and Guo know this news, they will definitely lead their troops to cut off our food road. At that time, we will use our plan and set up an ambush in the east of the city to kill them by surprise."

"Mr. Feng Xiao's plan is very clever." Xu Shu couldn't help nodding after hearing Guo Jia's words, and said, "The villages outside the city have long been deserted. Even if Li and Guo want to collect food and replenish soldiers, there is nothing they can do. If so They know that we have a large amount of grain and grass to be transported to Chang'an, and they will definitely send people to rob the grain, and we can kill them all on the way."

After the plan was finalized, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu and others spread rumors in the city, saying that because of insufficient food and grass, in order to prevent the people from starving during the migration, they decided to postpone leaving Chang'an until the food and grass from Yecheng arrived.The spies hidden in the crowd, after hearing the news, sneaked out of the city overnight and reported the matter to Li and Guo.

Don't look at Li and Guo who fought inseparably some time ago, but now they are in the same boat, Guo Si is still the same as before, only Li Jue is the leader.When he heard the spies' report, he cautiously said to Li Jue: "Children, there are no people living outside Chang'an City, and it is difficult to supply food and grass. The food and grass we need have to be transported from Xiliang. Now our army food is only It is enough to last for two days. If there is no way, the army may run out of food. Once the food runs out, the morale of the army will be unstable."

For Guo Bang's statement, Li Jue agrees very much in his heart, but the village outside the city was looted when the two of them fought, and now there is no one inhabited, so go there to replenish food and grass.He looked at Guo Si and asked, "What good strategy does Ah Duo have?"

"Didn't the spies report that the Jizhou soldiers in the city will wait for the grain and grass from Yecheng to arrive before setting off?" Guo Si said to Li Jue, "We can make a decision on the grain and grass in Yecheng."

However, Li Jue shook his head after hearing this, and said: "The grain and grass from Jizhou usually enter the city through the east gate. If we want to rob the grain, the journey is too far away. And every time the soldiers and horses escorting the grain and grass are between 3000 and [-] people. Around, if we can't eat them for a while, reinforcements from Chang'an City will arrive."

"Zhiran, if we don't go to rob the grain, once the grain and grass in the army run out, the soldiers and horses may disperse at that time." Seeing that Li Jue rejected his proposal, Guo Si specially reminded him: "The two of us If you don't have soldiers and horses in your hands, you can only capture them with nothing."

Li Jue is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. After Dong Zhuo was eliminated by Wang Yun and others, he once pleaded guilty to Wang Yun, hoping that the other party would forgive his sins.After being rejected, he immediately raised troops to invade Chang'an, successfully defeated Lu Bu, eradicated Wang Yun and others, and took the government into his own hands.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, because he and Guo Si killed each other because of the tricks of Yang Biao, Zhu Jun and others, and Han Zhan took a big advantage in the end.

In order to prevent the same mistakes from happening again, he decided to take the risk: "Well, since Ah Duo said so, we will send more people to the east of the city for reconnaissance. Once we find the grain team from Jizhou, we will bypass Chang'an to seize the grain and grass."

According to Zhao Yun and Xu Shu's ideas, they planned to prepare a fake grain transportation convoy to lure Li and Guo into the bait.But their proposal was opposed by Guo Jia: "No, we don't know how many spies Li and Guo have nearby. Once they find out that the fake food team outside the city, they will not let them be fooled in the future. It's an easy thing."

Hearing what Guo Jia said, Zhao Yun couldn't help but thumped in his heart, and then asked tentatively, "Mr. Feng Xiao, do you mean to use a real food team to lure Li and Guo into the bait?"

"That's right, that's true." Guo Jia thought for a while, and continued: "In Jia's estimation, there should be another grain team from Yecheng in the past two days, and it is about to enter Chang'an, but who is escorting the cart? "

Zhao Yun immediately stated: "It's simple. As long as Zhao sends people to investigate, he will soon know who is escorting the grain and grass, and then we will set up traps for Li and Guo."

After the discussion was over, Zhao Yun immediately dispatched his men to look for the grain transport convoy to Chang'an along the official road.Zhao Yun's envoy had been on the road for two days, and finally met the grain transport convoy from Yecheng.

"Mr. Guo?!" Hearing the soldier's report, Zhao Yun couldn't help frowning: "Which Mr. Guo?"

Before the soldier could answer, a familiar voice came from outside the hall: "Which Mr. Guo, of course it is me!"

Seeing Guo Jia go and come back, Zhao Yun couldn't help being overjoyed. He knew very well that Han Zhan attached great importance to Guo Jia because of his superior strategy.If Guo Jia was here, it would be much easier to deal with Li Jue and Guo Si.
