Chapter five hundred and fourth Guo Jia's depression
"You kid, why didn't you go to that drunk red building? Your best friend ignored you today." As soon as his figure moved, Xiao Ziyu came to Guo Jia and said teasingly.
"Haha! Brother Ziyu, you're teasing me again. Guo doesn't have any romantic partners." Guo Jia's face turned slightly red when he heard this.
"You are still shy. It seems that your sweetheart is extraordinary. He is also extraordinary for being able to tie up a prodigal like you."
"Since we really love each other, take her home and don't delay her like this. Besides, you are already quite old and have a family."
Xiao Ziyu looked at Guo Jia and said.
"Brother Ziyu, you are older than me, right? Don't you have a family? There are rumors outside that Brother Ziyu is not good at women. Could it be that he is as good as Long Yang?"
Hearing Xiao Ziyu's words, Guo Jia rolled his eyes, and then quickly counterattacked.
"Well, Guo Fengxiao, I kindly advised you, but not only were you not grateful, you actually set me up. It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and you don't know a good heart."
After the two of them joked with each other.
Then Xiao Ziyu said seriously: "You came back from Xuzhou, what's going on there now?"
"Then Cao Mengde of Xuzhou is really not easy to get along with, but our General Lu suffered a lot at the beginning!"
Hearing Xiao Ziyu's question, Guo Jia's expression became serious, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.
"hehe!"
"Is it because Lu Feng didn't follow your plan first, and then fell into Cao Cao's scheme, so he got into trouble?" Xiao Ziyu raised the corners of his mouth and suddenly smiled.
A year ago, Lu Bu went to Yanzhou to attack Liu Dai. It took him more than three months to wipe out Liu Dai's forces.
His glorious return and the commendation he received from Dong Zhuo made him even more arrogant, thinking that he was the number one person under Dong Zhuo's account.
Half a year ago, Dong Zhuo was ordered to attack Cao Cao in Xuzhou again. This time, Dong Zhuo did not ask Jia Xu to accompany the army to act as military advisor, but asked Guo Jia to act as military advisor.
I also want to train Guo Jia and test his abilities.
Although Xiao Ziyu learned from Xiao Ziyu that Guo Jia had extraordinary intelligence, he could not promote him to a high position all at once.
According to Dong Zhuo's intention, Guo Jia was asked to follow Lu Bu to gain seniority. In his eyes, the current Cao Cao was still nothing, no different from Liu Dai in Yanzhou.
This is not Dong Zhuo's ignorance, but his self-confidence.
More than a year has passed since the allied forces of the Kwantung princes launched a crusade. During this period of more than a year, his army in Xiliang had occasionally doubled.
The military strength under his command has truly reached millions. And these millions of soldiers are all truly capable of fighting and can be considered elites.
Not like Liu Dai from Yanzhou.
When Lu Bu went to attack Liu Dai a year ago, Liu Dai also rose up in resistance and violently mobilized troops. He recruited millions of troops at once, hoping to win through sheer numbers.
But unfortunately, his idea was extremely ridiculous.
The invitation of a million-strong army was very terrifying. The coalition forces of the Kwantung princes back then were only this number.
But it's a pity that Liu Dai's million-strong army can only fight with only 100,000, and the rest are all used to make up the numbers.
When the battle with Lu Bu came, those armies even came with sticks to attack Lu Bu's army.
Wearing thin commoners and carrying sticks with no lethality, they rushed into the battlefield, but were attacked by Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry and were immediately defeated.
Liu Dai had a good plan. He wanted to use these people as cannon fodder to consume the energy of Lu Bu's army, and then he would attack with a real army of 100,000 people behind him.
This is a good idea.
But he never expected that his cannon fodder had no effect at all. Faced with an impact from Lu Bu's cavalry, he was defeated and fled backwards.
Not only did they flee, but these defeated armies instead fled towards Liu Dai's 100,000-strong army, which was terrifying all of a sudden.
Liu Dai's 100,000 elite troops were attacked by these remnants, and the military formation was immediately unstable. Lu Bu saw the opportunity at that time, and led the Bingzhou cavalry behind him to kill them immediately.
Lu Bu grasped the timing of the battlefield very accurately and grasped Liu Dai's seven inches at once. After a sudden impact, Liu Dai's 100,000 elite soldiers were also in a state of defeat.
In this battle, Lu Bu directly killed more than half of Liu Dai's troops.
There was nothing left to say after that. The army was defeated and morale was low. Liu Dai fled back to his base with the remaining soldiers, but wanted to defend the city.
But unfortunately, it was still a delusion in the end. After three months, it was finally defeated. Lu Bu completely captured the entire Yanzhou.
With all his achievements, Lu Bu was certainly promoted. Not only did he become General Zhendong, but he also rose to the rank of Marquis.
His current military position is truly worthy of the name as the number one general in Xiliang.
The same is true. Of course, this guy has become more arrogant. The only people he can listen to in Dong Zhuo's account are Li Ru and half of Jia Xu.
Needless to say, Li Ru, even with Lu Bu's brains and muscles, knew that his status in Dong Zhuo's heart was definitely not as good as that of him.
As for Jia Xu, in the past few months when he went to Yanzhou, he was certainly shocked by Jia Xu's calculations. Knowing that Jia Xu was very intelligent, he could still listen to such a person.
As for other people, he really didn't care.
So Guo Jia was unlucky. He met Lu Bu, who thought highly of himself. Although he was a military advisor, he had no reputation after all. When he attacked Cao Cao in Xuzhou, he offered several strategies, but they were all ignored by Lu Bu.
The result can be imagined. Lu Bu's strength is indeed beyond doubt, and his ability to lead troops in combat is also among the best in the world.
But Cao Cao is not bad here, and he has many counselors under his command. Although there are no Guo Jia and others, there are still Cheng Yu, Xun You and others.
There was even someone who surprised Xiao Ziyu, and that was Chen Gong. In the original time and space, Chen Gong separated from Cao Cao because of his words, and then chose Lu Bu.
But this time and space seems to have changed. The princes of Guandong were defeated, and Lu Bu did not fall out with Dong Zhuo.
There was no independence, and Cao Cao did not seem to have said the words "I would rather lose the world". Therefore, Chen Gong also joined the ranks of Cao Cao's advisers.
It can be said that the counselors under Cao Cao's current account are not bad. There were also many counselors who originally belonged to him, including Guo Jiahe and Xi Zhicai.
Both of them were scholars from poor families. Because Dong Zhuo made a recruitment order in Luoyang, they all went to Luoyang, so they stayed away from Cao Cao.
But even so, Cao Cao's strength was not bad. In one year, he defeated Tao Qian and captured the entire Xuzhou.
The total number of troops under his command has reached more than 200,000. Moreover, his more than 200,000 soldiers are not like Liu Dai. These 200,000 soldiers are truly elite soldiers.
Even if they are not as good as Bingzhou Cavalry and Xiliang Cavalry, they are still first-class elite soldiers.
Lu Bu's carelessness caused him to suffer a series of defeats at the beginning. If it weren't for his unparalleled battlefield sense, he would have definitely lost his troops.
But even so, he suffered successive defeats at the beginning.
