After Xu Shu finished speaking, Guo Jia stood up again. The reputation of being a genius was not just for boasting.
In the list of counselors, especially in the military field, Guo Jia ranked second, and no one dared to rank first.
It's a pity that Guo Jia died early, and Zhuge Liang didn't have anything to do with him until after he died.
Otherwise, if Guo Jia were alive, it is hard to say whether Zhuge Liang would be the best military strategist in the world.
Although there is no guarantee that Guo Jia will definitely surpass Zhuge Liang, the two are at least evenly matched.
Guo Jia added: "Yuan Zhi's move can relieve Gongsun Zan's siege, but it will not be of great benefit to our army. It is better to add to Yuan Zhi's strategy."
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he came to the military map in the meeting hall, pointed to the Hanzhong territory and said: "Chang'an is only a hundred miles away from Hanzhong. If we can take the opportunity to capture Hanzhong, my Lord has the land of Yuzhou in the east, and we can advance to the south and Yi in the north.
Wouldn't it be great to jump together, look at each other from east to west, and connect end to end?"
All the counselors looked at Hanzhong, and after thinking about it for a moment, their eyes lit up.
Yes, if Hanzhong can be taken, they will have the greatest military initiative.
"Hanzhong is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We have discussed this before, but now Fengxiao says he wants to take it. How to take it?" Jiang Siming asked.
Guo Jia smiled confidently and said: "One moment is not the other. Although Zhang Lu has some abilities, he is too pedantic and content with the status quo. Otherwise, he would take advantage of such a good territory in Hanzhong but not think about making progress. He is still just
Huddled in Hanzhong."
"Furthermore, Zhang Lu appointed a new counselor named Yang Song six months ago. This man has a very corrupt character, but Zhang Lu left him alone and appointed him as his military advisor."
Guo Jia paused and then said: "I think now is the best time to take Hanzhong. First, the lord can send a eloquent person to persuade Zhang Lu. Second, on the other hand, he can secretly send someone to bribe Yang Song.
"
"It would be best if we could directly persuade Zhang Lu to surrender. If Zhang Lu doesn't listen, we can ask Yang Song to open the gate of Hanzhong, and our army will attack the city again! It just so happens that our army is sent to the north, and Zhang Lu never expected that we would take action against him.
In this way, Hanzhong will definitely belong to my lord!"
This explanation made everyone enlightened.
Even Jiang Siming couldn't help but applaud. Although he has a high IQ, he is not good at strategy.
This kind of thing needs to be left to the professionals.
Guo Jia is obviously a professional among professionals.
With just a few words, the plan was made up.
"Then why should we persuade Zhang Lu?" Jiang Siming asked.
Xun Yu said with a smile: "I recommend Xiaozhi. His eloquence is as wonderful as Chen Qun's writing, as bright as the stars, and Xiaozhi is a Hanzhong person. It is most suitable for him to go."
Everyone also agreed.
But Fazheng himself stood up and said: "My lord, I served as an official under Zhang Lu for a year before, so it's better not to go."
Fazheng was afraid that Jiang Siming would doubt whether he would surrender to his old master. After all, he used to be Zhang Lu's subordinate.
He was afraid that Jiang Siming would be suspicious.
But Jiang Siming laughed and said: "So what? I always employ people without doubting them and do not use them if I doubt them. I am filial and upright. Just go ahead. No matter what the result is, I will not blame you, let alone
will be suspicious of you."
Fa Zheng was deeply moved after hearing this, changed his tune decisively, and took on the difficult task of persuading Zhang Lu.
The plan has been worked out, and the next step is to make arrangements.
Gao Lan and Zhang He each led an army, one attacked Xuchang and the other attacked Bingzhou.
Chang'an, which has not been moved for a long time, is finally going to have big changes.
Jiang Siming, however, remained in Chang'an and made no move.
But his Xuanjia Army was already ready at any time.
But for the time being, we still need to wait, waiting for Fa Zheng to lobby, and waiting for Yang Song to be bribed.
On the other hand, Gao Lan and Zhang He, on the other two sides, had to retreat to their base camp in a hurry because they surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao.
Gongsun Zan was able to preserve his territory and safety.
To this end, he specially sent his generals to escort a large amount of gold and silver and thousands of war horses to Jiang Siming as a thank you gift.
"Commander Guo, when can I see the Prime Minister? My lord called us here just so that I could express my gratitude to the Prime Minister in person on his behalf."
Gongsun Zan's general Yan Gang asked Guo Jia. Behind him was a white-robed young man who was eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a broad face and a handsome face. He was holding a bright white spear and looked majestic.
Guo Jia didn't pay attention at first. He just smiled and said to Gongsun Zan: "Don't worry, General Yan. Our Lord went hunting today and will be back at noon. He also told me to entertain General Yan well."
"That's good. Thank you, Military Advisor Guo." Yan Gang felt relieved after hearing this.
Guo Jia saw the young general behind Yan Gang and asked out of curiosity: "General Yan, who is this?"
"Oh, this is the Colonel."
After Yan Gang finished speaking, the young man in white robe took the initiative to stand up, cupped his fists towards Guo Jia and said, "I always..."
Before the young general finished speaking, the world suddenly stopped...
This guy Jiang Siming quit the game, oh no, quit the dungeon.
It's really not his fault, it was this girl Zhao Xiaoxiao who woke him up.
He had already seen a sika deer and was about to shoot the deer with an arrow, thinking that sika deer were protected animals in modern society.
But in this ancient time, no one cares about that. The venison is the best game, hehe.
Just as he was setting the arrow, he was woken up by Zhao Xiaoxiao.
When he opened his eyes, Zhao Xiaoxiao looked at him with a smile, holding his own hair in his hands and still picking out Jiang Siming's ears.
Jiang Siming immediately grabbed her hand and slapped her skin twice angrily.
"Who told you to disturb your father's sleep?"
Zhao Xiaoxiao let out an ouch and cried out: "I came to wake you up out of kindness, have you forgotten what day it is today?"
Jiang Siming was startled, then slapped his thigh.
"Oh! I almost forgot, I have to pick up my sister!"
Jiang Siming almost overslept and forgot important things.
His father called him a few days ago and said that his sister was on winter vacation and wanted to come to Shanghai for two days and buy some New Year's goods to go home.
How could I have forgotten this incident?
"Thank you my little cutie Xiaoxiao~" Jiang Siming quickly admitted his mistake and helped her up.
Who would have thought that this girl would not be willing to get up, she just stayed in his arms unable to get up.
"Don't you have a clear idea of what you should do if you make a mistake?"
After Zhao Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she pouted at Jiang Siming.
Jiang Siming's face darkened and he said, "This is the trick your mothers used on me."
"I know, I learned it secretly, what's wrong~"
Jiang Siming had no choice but to smack her cheek.
Who knew that this girl was not satisfied yet, so she forcefully gave Jiang Siming a mouthful and then skipped away.
"I'm really..." Jiang Siming feels that this girl is increasingly out of his control now... her development is also...

[Author's digression]: The third update~ Today is the first day of the banknote contest. I believe many friends have saved a lot of banknotes. Please vote for sake~
Let's not deal with the fictitious things, and only the No. 8 banknote contest ends.
No matter what ranking the sake gets, ten more chapters will be added!
Of course, Sake didn't save the manuscript, so it was obviously impossible to do ten chapters a day, and the quality had to be guaranteed.
It’s okay, Sake will try its best to add more updates every day until the ten owed updates are completed.
But I still hope everyone can vote more. Sake really wants a good ranking.
This also lets Sake know that his efforts have not been in vain, and knows that many book fans are supporting him. This is also the motivation for Sake to be willing to add more books for everyone!
Without further ado, thank you all!
Let’s not say much today, let’s talk about it later! Okay! I hope you all enjoy watching it! (To be continued)
