There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"That we have a hundred thousand troops crossing the river this time, don't you have any opinions to express? Even singing a song to express your passionate feelings is okay, don't hold back like this."

Speaking of this, I don't know what to say anymore.

Guo Jia took the lead and said: "Yuan Shao has taken great precautions against Xuzhou. Qingzhou has been heavily defended by Yuan Shao. Whether it is the plains, Beihai, or Nanpi, there are deep ditches and high fences, and all counties and cities have become horns. With the current situation, it may not be so easy to conquer Qingzhou in the short term."

The Tao merchant raised his eyebrows: "Then why did you advise me to send troops quickly?"

Guo Jia sighed and said: "The reason for the remonstrance is to send out troops because of the current situation. As for how to send out troops and how to fight battles, I don't care. You are the master and you have to decide!"

The potter really wanted to slap the prodigal son against the wall.

Not responsible at all.

He turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

When it comes to the art of war, these two are not as good as Guo Jia, but what if they have a way?

When Sima Yi saw the potter looking at him, he hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Teacher, don't look at me. I can't decide such a big thing. I'm just a child."

The pottery merchant looked at him with a half-smile: "Now you know how to pretend to be tender? Last month, you used my name and went to the Pengcheng gentry Chengjia to meet someone else's daughter. You were quite mature."

When Sima Yi heard this, his face turned red.

How does the teacher even know about this?

Holding the white feather fan, Zhuge Liang carefully looked at Pitu for a long time. On it was Yuan Jun's layout in Qingzhou marked by Guo Jia.

Yuan Shao really attached great importance to pottery merchants. He almost arranged many defenders in Qingzhou, and he also controlled all important roads and set up many camps.

But it's no wonder that if Cao Cao and the pottery merchants attack Hebei in two ways, Yuan Shao can only be scruples no matter how powerful he is. Now that Cao Cao has split the Black Mountain Army, the morale is in full swing, and his sharp edge is directed at Li Yang. His goal is Yuan Shao's stronghold, Yuan Shao You have to deal with Cao Cao yourself. In this case, you can only use heavy troops to defend the potters.

Zhuge Liang looked at it carefully for a long while, and said: "Teacher, Yuan Shao has arranged the arrangement like this. We can attack one city by one city, and conquer one county by one county. land"

The potter knew that Zhuge Liang was telling the truth, and he also knew that the current situation must be resolved, but he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of any good way.

I had hoped that Guo Jia and others could open another window for me, but unfortunately they couldn't.

"Half a year is definitely not enough, and there will be a severe cold in three months. If there is no stable base, the whole army will suffer from severe cold. If Yuan Shao takes the opportunity to counterattack, I am afraid that my [-] soldiers will be killed." He swallowed it completely."

Guo Jia is also rare.

People who knew him well on weekdays would never have imagined that there would be something in this world that could make him difficult.

"Sigh, it's not true if you don't send troops. If you send troops, I'm afraid you won't be able to capture it for a while. It will be useless. Yuan Shao has deployed so many defenders on the front line of Qingzhou, but the rear will be empty if we can fly past Yuan Jun's barrier. That's enough." Guo Jia stared at Pitu and muttered to himself.

"Fly over? Fly over" Guo Jia's words lit a bright light in the potter's mind. He touched his chin and thought carefully for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "This is a good idea, let's fly over!"

"Ah?" Guo Jia and the others were all stunned.

Sima Yi looked at Tao Shang in surprise, wondering if the teacher was driven mad by Yuan Shao's defensive lineup?

When Guo Jia was told by the pottery merchant, he seemed to have some ideas in his mind, but he couldn't grasp the point vaguely.

"How do we fly there?" Guo Jia couldn't figure it out, so he simply asked the potter.

"Just fly over there! Fly, fly, fly." The potter smiled and pointed to the northeast with his hand on the Pitu, pointing to the northeast non-stop.

"Don't fly." Guo Jia wiped off his sweat, and said, "You are going to fly to the sea, if one of you fails to fly, all the soldiers of the three armies will fall into the sea and drown to feed the fish."

Having said that, Guo Jia was startled suddenly, and suddenly came back to his senses.

"What does the prime minister mean, to go by sea?"

The potter nodded and said: "As far as the number of navy and warships is concerned, I am the second in the south of the Yangtze River today. Who dares to be the first? We used to drive on the river. This time we divided some of the elite Soldiers and horses, take the sea route from the port along the coast of Xuzhou, and transport some elite soldiers and horses to Donglai County!"

Sima Yi suddenly realized: "Donglai County is a coastal place, and it is inland and does not border with us. As long as Yuan Shao arranges heavy troops in Beihai County and Jiaodong County, he will block the dry road from Xuzhou to Donglai County. If the army divides up and takes the water route, detours Donglai County to surprise Beihai, and attacks from both sides, it will definitely break the deadlock!"

Tao Shang lightly tapped Pitu with his fingers, and said: "That's the reason. Although this method is a bit risky, it is within the range of our army's tolerance, and after all, going by water is the strength of our army. For our navy, the sea is still a challenge that needs to be dealt with carefully."

Speaking of this, the pottery merchant looked at Guo Jia, and said, "I will entrust Brother Feng Xiao with the task of leading the troops across the sea. Let's agree on a date and a place. At that time, both sides will attack Yuan Jun in Beihai County and open a passage."

Guo Jia almost fainted when he heard that.

"Prime Minister, have you forgotten? I almost vomited to death on the first boat on the Yangtze River! If you let me go into the sea, wouldn't Mr. Guo spit out all my intestines?"

Spit the intestines out of your mouth?

The potter imagined it for a moment, and then felt a chill all over his body.

It's disgusting to say.

"Besides you, I really don't feel at ease if someone else takes this task. Don't worry. Tao will treat you well. When this cross-sea battle is over, I will play the emperor's role. I ask the emperor to confer the title of Guo Jia on you, how about it?"

Guo Jia curled his lips when he heard the words,

The emperor is staying at your house, and you are still pretending to play a fart!

However, the matter of Fenghou is still very angry with Guo Jia.

He said with a smile: "The prime minister plans to ask the emperor to confer the title of a certain Guo?"

The pottery merchant pondered for a while, and said: "Our great man had an ex-King of Changyi back then, and the deposed emperor Liu He was granted the title of Marquis of Haiyun. Since you fainted as soon as you got to the sea, then Tao will give you the title of Marquis of Haiyun."

Guo Jia's smile suddenly froze.

Guo Jia and Sima Yi snickered aside, almost holding their breath.

"Prime Minister, I don't want you to abuse people like this. Haihun is the name of the county! What kind of territory is your Haiyun? Is it the Marquis of the Ting, the Marquis of the Township, or the Marquis of the County?"

The potter thought carefully for a long while, and said: "We have a pavilion for ten miles, and a post for five miles, but now there are too many wars and many people who have made meritorious deeds. If we all have to be named princes, even if there are thousands of miles, it is not enough. I think In the future, we have to redo the law, continue to subdivide the kiosks, and divide them into sub-district offices. You can set an example in the community and be my first community marquis.”

Guo Jia's eyes widened.

What is Community Hou?

Chapter 656 What's Happening in the South

The issues considered by potters are more practical.

Leaving aside the county marquis, the so-called Tinghou's land is only ten miles in radius, which is about the size of two small villages.

In this way, although the food towns of the enfeoffed people cannot share much of the country's resources, it is different in this era because there are too many people.

Especially at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the era of the Three Kingdoms, people who were granted the title of Marquis were in groups. The title of Marquis was like a wholesale sale on Double Eleven. Large quantities were promoted by the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms, which seriously disrupted the market for titles in the circle of princes. value.

Although some marquis are only in name and do not have fixed fiefdoms, but for the Three Kingdoms era when the population dropped sharply, a marquis had to occupy the township, which is also a big deal for a country that has been in war for many years burden.

It is indeed a top priority to divide the Tinghou into smaller regions so as to cope with the various Marquis who will grow like ants in the future because of their military exploits.
