Chapter 1032
: Chapter 374: Unexpected Change
He had calculated earlier that he wanted to dig up the Zhangshui River to cut it off. Doing so might cause a change in the former army, and he had already thought of it.However, as a person who has been following the Yuan family for two generations, he also knew that with those 20 people, it would be difficult to drive Liu Bei back.
Today, the Yuan family has long been a strong outsider and a middle-ranking official, so they only have a huge name to bluff.Deep down, the talents are withered and the morale of the army is scattered, but in terms of internal affairs, it has experienced several major defeats, and the national strength is so weak that it is even difficult to maintain daily operations.
At this time, let alone relying on the Yuan family to beat back Liaodong, even if they insisted, it would be difficult to maintain food and grass for too long.At this time, it was raining heavily, and the war was protracted for a long time. When the food and grass in the rear were insufficient and could not be delivered, I was afraid that the 20 troops who met the enemy would turn into sharp weapons to attack themselves.
In view of this, Guo Tu had the idea of digging water to block the enemy.In this way, the worst result is to make the 20 troops who are not very stable mutiny ahead of time, but it can also win a long time.
Guo Tu deeply understood that the mutiny of the 20 troops could not be all.Because firstly, after all, some people are deeply loyal to the emperor, so they will definitely be able to suppress them; secondly, the way back will be blocked by then, and they will have no other choice but to fight to the death.In this way, instead, the final potential of the fighting soldiers can be tapped out. [
As for surrendering to the enemy, Guo Tu used himself to save people, who would dare to accept such a huge number of opponents in front of the two armies at once?As long as Liu Bei is on guard, all the troops will be panicked, and they won't get much help, but the constraints will be greatly increased.At that time, it will take more than half of his energy just to beware of these surrendered soldiers.In that case, it would be tantamount to nonsense to make a breakthrough like before.
Moreover, among those who are forced to surrender, how many of them are the ones who follow the wind?As long as foreign aid comes in in the future, but if you want to gain a temporary advantage and recruit a little bit, these people will definitely switch back.At that time, there was a strong attack from outside, and there was echoing from the chaos inside. The attack of Liaodong this time was really a surprise without danger.
His plan was so meticulous that he didn't care about the sacrifice of millions of civilians.And the strong support in his heart is Cao Cao, Xudu, who is close at hand.
The last time Cao Cao asked for help, he refused to send troops on the pretext, which means, how could Guo Tu not know.It's just that he understood clearly that it was Yuan Tan and the Yuan family that Cao Cao rejected, but not Guo Tu and his subordinates of the Yuan family.
Now that the Yuan family has declined, there will be no future if they continue to follow.It would be the wisest choice if he could take advantage of this incident and successfully get on Prime Minister Cao's chariot.And if he can contribute to Prime Minister Cao's smooth annexation of Jizhou, how can Prime Minister Cao treat himself slowly?
It can not only delay the attack on Liaodong, relieve the current crisis, but also secretly weaken the Yuan family, and speed up Prime Minister Cao's annexation of Jizhou, so as to increase his own weight in the promotion. Guo Tu's abacus made a fuss about this deal. Sound, already have a plan in mind.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that his own design, how could he be negligent for a while, and be informed by the scouts sent by the former army.And after he found out, he dispatched masters to hunt down and kill him immediately, but he was still passed on, which finally led to the current situation that was in jeopardy.
