Chapter 1766 Guo Jiashou Lu Su
Guo Jia has full confidence in his own strength.
When he was not strong, Guo Jia hoped to use strategies to exchange for a chance of winning. But with absolute strength, Guo Jia directly crushed without any strategy.
In fact, in Guo Jia's view of this conquest of the Eastern Wu, the Shenwu court did something that was both wrong and right.
The mistake is that the war launched by Liu Yu was inadequate in many aspects. The national treasury was empty, and the money and food in various places could only be maintained and needed time to rest and recuperate. After fighting Yizhou, the profits were not great. Guo Jia felt that the best time to use troops was over one year. At that time, the Shenwu court would have sufficient resources to eliminate the Eastern Wu. Unfortunately, the Eastern Wu also knew this. Sun Ce called himself the public without authorization, so he saw that Liu Yu had many difficulties and did not send troops to cook a piece of raw rice. At that time, Liu Yu would attack the Eastern Wu, and the Eastern Wu would have time to prepare. Liu Yu resolutely issued the order to destroy the Eastern Wu, and the Han Dynasty could not be damaged!
This chaotic era was caused by various natural and man-made disasters that caused the majesty of the Han court to be wiped out. The princes of the world only worried about the prestige of the Han people for hundreds of years, so they did not make the final blow to the Han Dynasty.
Liu Yu has been working hard for so many years and has put in a lot of effort to re-establish the prestige of the Han Dynasty. From the perspective of the emperor, it is impossible to tolerate Sun Ce challenging his authority. In Guo Jia's view, Liu Yu is doing this right. It is very worthwhile to use short-term difficulties to maintain subsequent rule.
The war to destroy the Eastern Wu was full of various plots from the beginning. The Eastern Wu also suffered a lot of losses in this regard.
Now Guo Jia is in front of him the last vital force of the Eastern Wu.
Guo Jia felt that if he was in Lu Su's position, he would never choose to fight to the decisive battle. Because once his side was finished, Dongwu would have no troops to reverse.
So when Lu Su chooses to fight to the decisive battle, Guo Jia will wake up laughing when he dreams.
Lu Su, who made a fatal mistake, is now full of his mind to destroy Liu Jun, but he has not thought about the consequences.
Poor Sun Ce is still waiting for Lu Su to pass in Lingyang City.
Liu's army kept attacking and advanced rapidly, and now it was only ten miles away from Fengcheng.
At this time, Guo Jia ordered the entire army to stop the attack. Liu's army was in good momentum. Why should he stop while Lu Su made a fatal mistake? Only Guo Jia knew about the reasons.
No, there is still someone who has guessed it.
This person is Lu Xun. Lu Xun has always been among Liu Jun.
When he surrendered, Lu Xun asked Guo Jia to promise that he would not attack Sun. Guo Jia was a man of integrity and did not make things difficult for Lu Xun. Since Guo Jia and Zhang Liao led their troops out of the country, Lu Xun followed Guo Jia without saying a word. Guo Jia did not ask Lu Xun, why did Lu Xun speak nonsense? Even when Liu Jun attacked rapidly, Lu Xun did not get involved, let alone stop the attack.
Liu Jun stopped the attack and stationed in place to rest. Lu Xun found a cool place to sit on the ground, closed his eyes to rest. Anyway, he was idle. Lu Xun did not participate in the military, but he was a little tired after following Liu Jun for so long.
But then again, the time Lu Xun and Guo Jia were together was the most comfortable period he had. When he was in the country, Guo Jia took Lu Xun to chat and talk, and told all the strange stories in the world. Guo Jia was also idle.
Lu Xun heard from Guo Jia that he had never heard of, which opened his eyes. What interested Lu Xun the most was the secrets of Liu Yu, Cao Cao and others. Maybe these words were said by Guo Jiahu, but Lu Xun was really interested. At the same time, Lu Xun could realize that Guo Jia was sincere to him and did not have any hypocritical behavior. In addition, Guo Jia's unrestrained personality, he often scolded Lu Xun with his own fallacies, so that Lu Xun must know how to enjoy life. Wine, sex, wealth and power have become the most important wealth in life in Guo Jia's mouth.
If someone had said these fallacies in front of Lu Xun before, Lu Xun would have refuted him. But when Guo Jia said the words, Lu Xun felt very pleasant. Even Lu Xun was wondering why he could hear them, and even wanted to try them.
Maybe this is mutual appreciation. Guo Jia has a unique charm. Although he is unruly, he is definitely a handsome guy. Lu Xun may be too old-fashioned, and his admiration for Guo Jia made him listen gradually.
Lu Xun now feels that he is right to join the Shenwu court.
But he still can't say too much about dealing with Dongwu.
Guo Jia walked towards Lu Xun with a smile and said softly: "Boyan, you are so leisurely! The soldiers are beaten to death, you are very comfortable."
Lu Xun opened his eyes, looked at Guo Jia deeply, and said lightly: "Brother Fengxiao, aren't you asking knowingly?"
"Haha!" Guo Jia laughed and sat gently beside Lu Xun.
Lu Xun automatically gave Guo Jia a place.
After Guo Jia sat down, he said to Lu Xun: "Boyan, why do you think Lu Su is so abnormal this time?"
Lu Xun actually realized that Lu Su made a serious mistake this time. After thinking about it for a while, he said with some emotion: "Zi Jing also has some ideas."
"I remember that Lu Su is always loyal and righteous." After hearing this, Guo Jia's face became serious. He attached great importance to Lu Xun's statement.
"Yes!" Lu Xun did not deny it and continued: "Zijing has always been loyal to Sun Ce. But it is more for Zhou Yu's sake. He also wants to do something. According to my opinion, Sun Ce is also a little worried about Zijing. Perhaps Zijing is more unwilling to give up."
"Unconced? Haha! With limited strength, what can he do if he is unwilling to do?" Guo Jia smiled.
This kind of laughter is more ridiculous.
Seeing Guo Jia's arrogant look, Lu Xun said a little unhappy: "Brother Fengxiao, when Cao Mengde was defeated by Liu Yu, weren't you unwilling to accept it?"
This kind of rhetorical question is generally more harmful.
For Guo Jia, the opposite is true.
"I can tell you responsibly! There is really no!" Guo Jia said directly.
Lu Xun didn't believe it, and the look on his face showed everything.
Guo Jia gave Lu Xun a blank look, touched his temples, and recalled: "Before the decisive battle between the lord and His Majesty, I had already calculated that the lord's congregation was defeated. At that time, the lord had explained his funeral, hoping that we would surrender to Liu Yu so that he could take care of his descendants and he would fight to the end. However, at that time, Wu, Wen Ruo and others were both opposed! We fought with the lord to the end. The defeat was because His Majesty was superior. We lost unjustly! So there was nothing unwilling to give up."
Guo Jia turned to look at Lu Xun and said, "Or, do you think we joined the court for glory and wealth? If there was no such wise ruler as His Majesty, who was both civil and military, we would have long since retired to the mountains and forests."
Lu Xun was shocked by Guo Jia's words. It turned out that Guo Jia and others joined the Shenwu court because Liu Yu defeated them.
Lu Xun came back to his senses and asked Guo Jia: "Brother Fengxiao, you stopped this time not just to ask about Zijing's questions."
"You guys have a good brain, you must know it too. Why ask more questions?" Guo Jia looked at Lu Xun mysteriously.
Lu Xun sighed and stopped talking afterwards. He really knew why Guo Jia wanted to stop, with the purpose of letting Lu Su fall into a trap!
"Zijing! When you meet Guo Fengxiao, you are unlucky!" Lu Xun thought for a few seconds in his heart.
Lu Xun stopped talking, and Guo Jia also began to close his eyes and rest for a good rest.
On the other hand, Lu Su gathered most of the troops and boosted morale. The morale of the Eastern Wu soldiers was low, but after being encouraged by Lu Su, they at least recovered some morale. But this was not enough!
When Lu Su saw such a subordinate, he felt very sad. When would the army of the Eastern Wu become like this?
The Eastern Wu army was definitely not like this in the past, but with the disappearance of a large number of elite soldiers, most of the people who came in were reserve troops and strong men. This ability and morale were of course impossible to be the same.
After gathering forces, Lu Su began to calculate Liu Jun's attack. However, he received a piece of news that surprised him. Liu Jun actually stopped the attack and rested on the spot.
"What's going on? Liu Jun's attack went very smoothly. Why did that guy Guo Jia stop attacking?" Lu Su couldn't figure out Guo Jia's intentions no matter how he thought about it.
Lu Su then reacted again. Isn’t Guo Jia stopping the attack just to give him more opportunities? He will order it soon.
But the news that followed was Guo Jia leading the Liu army to launch a fierce attack, and the Eastern Wu army retreated step by step.
"Okay! It turns out that Guo Jia is resting and resting on the spot because the soldiers are exhausted. Now, seeing that I have assembled the army, I will attack immediately." Lu Su finally thought of a reason.
But this is true. After Liu Jun came out of the country, he rarely had a rest, and the loss of physical strength was also huge.
"Soldiers! Liu Jun is too arrogant! I am on the order of my lord to lead you to destroy Liu Jun and make achievements!" Lu Su shouted loudly.
The soldiers of the Eastern Wu army also raised their weapons and shouted angrily, as if they could really defeat Liu Jun.
Lu Su left some troops to guard Fengcheng, and the rest all rushed to Guo Jia's location.
After a brief rest, Liu Jun recovered a certain amount of physical strength and his advancement was still fast. Soon, they discovered that Lu Su and the Eastern Wu army were coming to them.
Guo Jia was in charge of the central army, looking at the upcoming Lu Su, and said something to the messenger.
The messenger quickly conveyed Guo Jia's order.
Liu Jun, who was already attacking fiercely, instantly gave up the attack and retreated immediately. The Eastern Wu army that fought with them was unsolvable.
But Lu Su's arrival made these Eastern Wu soldiers understand that it turned out that their reinforcements arrived. When Liu's army saw that things were not good, they immediately retreated.
Guo Jia glanced at Lu Su, then retreated with Liu Jun.
Lu Su was very suspicious. He led the army to pursue him for a while, but Guo Jia continued to retreat. Lu Su ordered the entire army to stop the attack, and he was worried that Guo Jia was a trick to lure the enemy. Lu Su dared not take risks before thinking it through.
The Eastern Wu army did not continue to pursue Liu Jun and stopped on the spot.
Lu Su was silently thinking about Guo Jia's intentions. Suddenly retreating must be a fraud. Faced with a master like Guo Jia, Lu Su must be extremely cautious, and if a bad thing is done, he will be doomed.
At this time, Zhang Biao, the deputy general of the Eastern Wu, came to Lu Su, bowed and said, "Sir, we have found something in a willow tree."
"What?" Lu Su asked.
Zhang Biao said with a little embarrassedly: "It was Guo Fengxiao who left some insults on the tree. And......"
Lu Su can understand that Guo Jia wrote and cursed people, and he could still think of the allusions in it, but Zhang Biao finally hesitated, and Lu Su was very curious and asked, "What else?"
"Sir, I will cut off the side of the willow tree that has already been carved. Please take a look!" Zhang Biao handed a large piece of wood to Lu Su.
Lu Su was very puzzled. Why did Zhang Biao cut off the willow tree with so much effort?
When Lu Su saw what was written on it, he knew why Zhang Biao did this.
Guo Jia imitated the plot of Sun Bin's satirizing Pang Juan during the Warring States Period and wrote some insults to Lu Su on a willow tree. Guo Jia was unruly and could not mention how ugly it was to use the words. But when he finally signed, Guo Jia wrote eight big words "Guo Fengxiao, Lu Boyan left".
Lu Su was stunned. He actually saw Lu Xun's name and was on par with Guo Jia.
Before, Lu Xun was not aware of his life and death. Many people thought that Lu Xun had died in battle, but they did not expect that Lu Xun's name would appear at this time. Lu Su knew that Zhang Biao was right to peel the willow wood. If this kind of thing was spread, the morale of the army would definitely be turbulent.
"Hmph! What a despicable method! Guo Jia actually used the name of my friend to stimulate me. This is a way to provoke me! You don't need to worry!" Lu Su said relaxedly.
Zhang Biao was also very worried at first, but after Lu Su said this, he became much more relaxed and responded: "The general is also very confused. I have to solve the doubts of the Lord and he will immediately feel relieved!"
Lu Su touched his beard and actually hoped that Lu Xun would be alive, rather than being killed in battle as the official said. After all, in the Eastern Wu, Lu Xun was a better friend of Lu Su.
"Sir, what should our army do?" Zhang Biao asked.
Lu Su fell into deep thought. He now understood that Guo Jia was using the provocation method. How to deal with it next really needs to think carefully.
Just when Lu Su was attracted by Guo Jia, a force appeared on the east side of Fengcheng.
According to Guo Jia's arrangement, Zhang Liao brought five thousand soldiers and horses to the detour and killed him to the east gate of Fengcheng.
"Kill!" Zhang Liao led five thousand soldiers and horses to raid Fengcheng directly.
Lu Su didn't have many soldiers left in Fengcheng, and they never expected that the enemy would suddenly arrive.
Zhang Liao took down Fengcheng in one fell swoop.
