At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

In more than two years, he chopped off more than 3000 heads, attacked dozens of times, large and small, fought every month, and completely put down all the remaining small countries in the Western Regions who were trying to restore the country.

When the remnants of the small countries in the Western Regions were almost pacified by him, the Beiting Governor's Mansion was completely stable, and the Beiting Governor Zhuge Liang began to push for economic development, Zhang Fei couldn't stay idle.

There is no battle to fight, every day in the barracks to bask in the sun, the whole person is going to be sick when he is idle.

Troop training is very boring, and war drills are also quite boring. How to fight is strange, and how to fight is not right.

There is no such thrill of killing, no such exciting feeling.

Zhang Fei couldn't be satisfied.

So he sent reports to Guo Peng one after another, requesting to be transferred to Pingzhou and Mozhou, where there are battles to be fought, or go to Yunzhou and Jiaozhou, as there are always battles to be fought, and if he continues to stay in these places, he will go crazy .

How dare Guo Peng let him go?

The Beiting Protectorate itself needs a prestigious general to sit in command to deter dissidents, so as to ensure that the local construction achievements will not be destroyed by people with bad intentions, so Zhang Fei, a famous and famous person, should be placed there.

But Zhang Fei is not willing, he wants to fight, he wants to see blood, he wants to be excited.

Wherever he goes, he is the overlord of the battlefield, and his qualifications are still old. Even the five tiger generals in the army, few dare to show their teeth to him.

Once he leaves, Guo Peng's policy of training troops to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army in peacetime will be in vain.

When he stops there, he directly takes care of all the battles, taking care of everything. How can the young rookie officers still have the opportunity to experience themselves in the battlefield?

Things are different now.

The Xianbei regime was powerful back then, with at least [-] cavalry, while the Wei Empire had only about [-] cavalry at the beginning of its founding, so Xianbei at that time was still a threat to the Wei Empire.

Guo Peng chose to let Zhang Fei, the extremely lethal disaster star, stand there, let him play around freely, and delay Guo Peng's time, so he asked Guo Peng to unify the country as soon as possible, set the Central Plains, and accumulate strength for the Northern Expedition to Xianbei .

Now that there is no force on the grassland that can threaten the Wei Empire, Zhang Fei's continued presence is just to squeeze the space for newcomers to grow and disrupt Guo Peng's military training policy, of course it is not allowed.

New generals cannot be educated only by military school education, they still need more battlefield experience, fighting on the battlefield, only fighting, only the real battlefield can cultivate excellent soldiers.

So Guo Peng left him in Beiting Dufu for more than two years in a daze, almost driving him crazy.

Until Guo Peng abdicated, Zhang Fei seemed to see hope again.

Three months after Guo Jin ascended the throne, Zhang Fei made six petitions, hoping that Guo Jin would transfer him to Pingzhou and Mozhou, and let him participate in the grand strategy of Li Ting Sweeping Caves.

He said that he was familiar with the grasslands, and that the Xianbei grandsons on the grasslands were tamed by him.

Seeing Zhang Fei's petition form, Guo Jin felt very headache, so she took it to Guo Peng. Guo Peng saw the plague god's expression on his face, and quickly asked him to take Zhang Fei's petition form away.

Then Guo Peng asked the people in the inner court to take Guo Jin to read the 72 petition forms that Zhang Fei gave him in the past two years, and the corners of Guo Jin's mouth twitched.

Is there really such a war madman who likes nothing but wars?

In view of this, Guo Jin felt that if Zhang Fei was not brought along in this military operation, Zhang Fei would probably have suicidal thoughts.

So after much deliberation, Guo Jin felt that the candidate for the coach must have very deep qualifications, must have the prestige enough to command the entire army, and must have sufficient military capabilities, at least to be able to deal with a Kangju country without missing.

This battle was his first since he ascended the throne. If he did not fight well, the international deterrence of the Wei Empire would be in danger, and Guo Jin's own prestige would also be affected.

So we must be cautious.

To be honest, if Guo Peng wasn't still alive, it would be really inconvenient for Guo Jin to fight. He would have wanted to use Cao Ren again to fight this battle.

Guo Jia saw Guo Jin's worry, rolled his eyes, moved closer to Guo Jin, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the old minister has a suitable candidate. I wonder if His Majesty can consider it."

"Mr. Feng Xiao, please tell me."

Guo Jin quickly looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia pursed her lips and smiled, turning her gaze to a certain person present.

Guo Jin followed his line of sight and saw a big Zhao Yunchu standing there.

Hey!Why didn't I think of it?

In terms of seniority, Zhao Yun joined Guo Peng's army a little earlier than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and he became a personal soldier as soon as he joined.

In terms of prestige, Zhao Yun fought with Guo Peng for many years, and later served as the commander-in-chief of the Central Guards. He has been in charge of the world for 13 years, and his military affairs have never been flawed.

In terms of military exploits, before Guo Peng became emperor, Zhao Yun's military exploits were no lower than any general. After Guo Peng became emperor, he had to put Zhao Yun by his side to control the central army, so Zhao Yun stayed away from the battlefield.

In terms of closeness, not to mention Zhao Yun's family background, his prostitute daughter is a nobleman around Guo Jin. She is related to relatives and has entered a small circle of blood in the highest decision-making circle of the empire.

So no matter how you look at it, Zhao Yun is the best candidate to be the coach of this war.

So Guo Jin looked at Zhao Yun with full expectation.

"General Zhao, are you willing to lead an army to the Western Regions to fight against the Kangju rebels?"

"..."

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists in both hands.

"Your Majesty has orders, and I must obey them!"

"it is good!"

Guo Jin was very happy, and personally stepped forward to help Zhao Yun: "General Zhao was also a strong general under the emperor's command in the early years. Later, he had to retreat to the second line in order to guard the capital. Gu has always felt sorry for this. Now General Zhao can return to the battlefield. , Gu is also pleased."

Zhao Yun smiled.

"It is my wish and my duty to be able to fight for Your Majesty on the battlefield. I will definitely fight against the Kangju rebels for Your Majesty, so that the Kangju rebels will bind their hands and go to Luoyang to plead guilty to His Majesty."

"nice!"

Guo Jin laughed for a while, very happy, and immediately issued an order to ask the staff desk to issue a document, awarding Zhao Yun the position of General Zhengxi, and ordering him to lead the army to crusade against Kang Juguo.

After making a decision, Guo Jin discussed some other details with everyone.

For example, Cao Chun, the right general of the guard army, and Li Dian, the former general of the guard army, were sent as Zhao Yun's deputy generals to attack together.

Xia Houyuan, the left general of the Wei army, and Guo Dong, the rear general of the Wei army, also wanted to attack, but they could not all attack because they had to keep people guarding the capital. In order to ensure fairness, Guo Jin personally presided over the drawing of lots.

In the end, Cao Chun and Li Dian won the lottery and attacked with Zhao Yun. Xia Houyuan and Guo Dong angrily broke the lottery in their hands.

Guo Jin had no choice but to laugh and cry and said that staying in the capital was as important as going out to fight. As long as Zhao Yun wins the battle, everyone will have credit.

In this way, the two veteran generals Xia Houyuan and Guo Dong were slightly appeased.

Afterwards, Guo Jin began to send people to all the counties and counties on the marching road of the army, and asked them to prepare the food and fodder for the army, and ordered the strategic reserves of the Western Regions and the four counties of Hexi to be transported to the Zhenxi Dufu immediately. error.

After finishing the matter, Guo Jin went to Taishan Hall to discuss the matter with Guo Peng.

Guo Jin felt that Guo Peng, who had a deep understanding of Zhao Yun, should be able to give him some proper advice. If Zhao Yun had any problems, he could still remedy them now and send him some right-hand assistants.

"Zi Long?"

Guo Peng looked at Guo Jin with some surprise: "You let Zilong lead the troops to attack?"

"Well, my son thinks that the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have deep qualifications. If Cao Xiu is the commander-in-chief, the second generals Guan and Zhang may be dissatisfied. Cao Xiu has less seniority and it is difficult to control the second general. When there is a dispute on the battlefield, it will be a bad thing. .”

Guo Jin explained his thoughts.

Chapter 1461 One thousand 370 one Guo Jin set a small goal for herself

Knowing that Guo Jin decided to appoint Zhao Yun as the commander-in-chief to attack Kangju, Guo Peng was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.

Zhao Yun's abilities are indeed sufficient, and his status is also sufficient. No matter from which aspect, he is a suitable candidate.

However, the problem is not military, but political.

Guo Peng didn't know whether Guo Jin was aware of this problem.

He decided not to talk about it for the time being, but to talk about the military.

"You're right. Yun Chang and Yi De are fierce generals, and they are very difficult to control. If you change to a younger one, the two of them may really not take it seriously. Right now, only Zilong Only then can the two of them be convinced."

"So father thinks General Zhao can do it?"

"Of course it can. Zilong is also an excellent general brought out by me. He is capable enough. There is nothing wrong with it. But the emperor, you have to understand one thing when using him."

Guo Peng looked at Guo Jin.

"what's up?"

"Zilong is a person who is used to working within the frame. He is very cautious. If you think he is good at riding, he is brave in battle, and he can lead the cavalry to the full. You think he is a good general, but he is not.

Zilong was very cautious, to the point where he would definitely make the enemy desperate when defending a city. What he was best at was not attacking, but defending. "

"This……"

Guo Jin felt a little surprised.

"Don't think I'm teasing you. It's true. Zilong seems to be rushing forward in one breath. He is unparalleled in courage, but he is actually modest and cautious, even a little cautious. He is not the kind of fighter who can fully enter the battle. , but a calm and experienced guard.

Of course, this does not mean that he cannot charge forward, but for him, not making mistakes is more important than meritorious deeds. When I led troops to fight, I would give Zilong a very clear combat goal every time and tell him what to do and how to do it. Consider reaching the goal.

In this way, Zilong can do things to the extreme for you, but if you don’t give him this standard and let him play freely, he is not as good as Yide, so I will let Yide lead 5 cavalry on the grassland. Over the past few years, more than [-] Xianbei people were beheaded.

If it were Zilong, it should be to keep the border airtight and not let any Xianbei come in, but the gains are far inferior to Yide. If you let Zilong lead troops to fight, yes, he can control These troops, but you have to give him a clear goal and let him know what to do. "

After Guo Peng finished speaking, he paused, and then said: "Emperor, you need to know why I trust Zilong so much, and why I entrusted the Central Army to him to command, it is because he is a genius in carrying out missions, that's all."

After Guo Jin finished listening, she nodded silently, expressing that she had understood.

He already understood how to use Zhao Yun and how to provide double insurance for this war.

Before Zhao Yun set off, Guo Jin summoned Zhao Yun at the staff desk, and deduced the process of the war with Zhao Yun on the sand table.

Guo Jin asked Xi Zhong and Xun You to go into battle together, and deduce the process of this war with Zhao Yun to see how this war should be fought.

Then let Xun You, who is proficient in tactics, tell Zhao Yun what his first strategic goal is, what his second strategic goal is, how to ensure the exact implementation of the strategic goal, and so on.

Xun You is a master tactician. This was discovered by Guo Peng. Xun You is very good at planning tactics during wars. He uses tactics to the extreme within a large strategic framework to make the enemy desperate.

Compared with Xun You, Xun Yu, who is no longer alive, is better at strategic planning. In the early strategic planning of the Guo Wei regime, Xun Yu contributed a lot to it.

pity……

But to this day, the Guo Wei regime has no shortage of strategic planning talents and tactical planning talents, and newcomers are constantly emerging. Even at that time, Guo Peng did not lack Xun Yu alone, and he was not irreplaceable.

Xun You is an excellent tactician, Guo Jin needs him to teach Zhao Yun some tactics.

Zhao Yun doesn't need any other help in fighting. He needs you to draw a framework. As long as there is a clear framework and how to do it step by step, he can maximize his ability.

Guo Jin asked Xun You to give this framework to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun understood what he should do, and his mood changed immediately.

Before, there was always a vague tension, but now, this tension has been compressed into a controllable range.

So before leaving, Zhao Yun expressed his thanks to Guo Jin.

"Your Majesty understands me and knows what my problem is, so I help him in this way. I am deeply moved, and I will definitely ask Kangju's traitor to go outside Luoyang City to plead guilty to Your Majesty."

"I'm not as good as Duke Zilong in directing the battle. I have to do things other than this. If I can't do it, then Duke Zilong will be able to manage the curtain. I'm afraid it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice."

Guo Jin smiled and shook Zhao Yun's hand: "I have done everything I can do for Duke Zilong, and the next thing is what Duke Zilong will do for me.

This is the first time I have launched a war since I ascended the throne. If I can't win a complete victory, it will not be a good thing for me or Wei Guo. I know that I shouldn't put pressure on Duke Zilong, but this battle is of great significance .

Whether it is military or political, it is very important. I hope that Mr. Zilong will win a hearty victory. When Mr. Zilong returns triumphantly, I will personally bring Ke Lan to welcome Mr. Zilong, and we will explain to Mr. Zilong together. Take off your jersey. "

Zhao Yun's indifferent expression was slightly moved, he pursed his lips, stepped forward quickly, then turned around and bowed down to Guo Jin.

"It is the duty of the minister to fight for His Majesty and the Kingdom of Wei. If this battle cannot be completely won, and if you cannot spread the prestige outside the territory for Your Majesty and the Kingdom of Wei, then I will come to see you!"

Guo Jin laughed out loud.

"Mr. Zilong please get up quickly."

Guo Jin stretched out his hand to support Zhao Yun: "Mr. Zi Long is an old man who followed his father in the army. He was a soldier beside his father to protect him 30 years ago. He has been fighting for his father on the battlefield and has made countless contributions.

My father told me more than once that it is our father and son's honor to receive the loyalty of Duke Zilong. This time, I hope that Duke Zilong will win a complete victory. The day of triumph is the day I celebrate for Duke Zilong! "

"Sir, obey the order!"

Under Guo Jin's order, Zhao Yun went to the barracks with the Emperor's Tiger Talisman in hand to mobilize troops, reorganize the army, and reorganize all rations, supplies, and marching documents needed along the way.

After everything was ready, the [-] central elite cavalry galloped all the way in the form of one man and two horses, heading west in a mighty way.

As the commander-in-chief of the Central Army, Zhao Yun has always been in charge of guarding the capital, and guarding the capital as impenetrably as impenetrable. In various senses, he is a figure like the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Wei Empire.

This time he left for an expedition, leaving the Central Army without a leader, and couldn't find a suitable commander for a while.

So on the second day after Zhao Yun left, Guo Jin, dressed in armor and holding the Tianzi sword, went to the major barracks of the Central Army to inspect the troops, rewarded the army with meat and drinks, and inspected the barracks.

Then Guo Jin ordered the four generals of the Central Guard Army to report to the emperor directly. He will open a green channel for the central army to report to the emperor. Don't worry at all.
