Liu Rui was not polite to Guo Jia either. Seeing that Guo Jia looked good, he said, "Since it's okay to be filial, let's take a look at the current situation!"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "My lord, our army is currently relatively weak, and Liu Biao's troops are relatively large. If we attack hard, I am afraid that the loss will be too great."

Liu Rui nodded and said, "That's right, the old turtle Liu Biao repaired the camp to be as hard as a turtle's shell. I tried it a few times before, but I couldn't bite!"

Guo Jia said, "No, we can just keep confronting them like this." Peerless Tangmen www.jueshitangmen.info

Liu Rui wondered, "Could it be that Fengxiao brought reinforcements here this time?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "My lord, did you forget General Huo Qubing?"

Liu Rui's eyes lit up, he suddenly noticed what Guo Jia meant, and couldn't help but rejoiced: "Haha, I knew you, Guo Fengxiao, must have a plan!"

Guo Jia cupped his hands and smiled and said, "My lord, I have asked General Huo Qubing to lead a light cavalry to harass the rear. Liu Biao sent troops from Jingzhou, which is a long way from here, and the delivery of food and grass is also slow. Now we are confronting his army here, just need to When Liu Biao's supplies are interrupted, it will be the day of our army's victory."

Liu Rui laughed and said, "That's how it should be."

Guo Jia did not have much to say, but he cupped his hands again and said, "I had a very pleasant conversation with Guo Ziyi, who is under the lord's command, in Chang'an some time ago. I deeply feel that this person's talents are unfathomable. "

However, Liu Rui was puzzled: "Guo Ziyi? I forgot about him!" Liu Rui also learned a magical skill from Guo Ziyi that day.However, Guo Jia's words made Liu Rui a little confused. Guo Ziyi is indeed a good player in leading the war, so how could it have anything to do with the current situation?

Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord, my Hongnong nine cities are all occupied by Liu Biao, and my subordinates have already sent people to spy on them. Previously, in order to stabilize people's hearts, most of the city officials used by Liu Biao were the ones we promoted. If you can convince the nine cities to return to the lord's account at this moment..."

Liu Rui was stunned for a moment. He wanted to conquer Hongnong Jiucheng in the past, but now he is confronting Liu Biao's army here. It made Liu Rui react instantly.

That Guo Ziyi is a god who conquered a foreign vassal alone, what difficulty is there in just a few cities?

Thinking of this, Liu Rui smiled and said, "Since Feng Xiao mentioned Guo Ziyi, you must have brought him here! Please, please!"

After a while, Guo Ziyi came to Liu Rui's tent and heard the task Liu Rui gave him.

At this point, Liu Rui was already determined, Huo Qubing and Guo Ziyi both punched together, and he just had to wait for the good news.

Speaking of that Huo Qubing, he has already mastered the command of the light cavalry under his command. These thousands of elite light cavalry come and go like the wind, but Liu Biao's food and grass soldiers move slowly. Just seeing Huo Qubing, a round of arrows shot over. When you raised your knife and wanted to chase, the other party ran away without a trace.

It was this kind of constant harassment and interception that dragged Liu Biao's grain-carrying teams to the point of immobility, and then waited for an opportunity to burn several batches of Liu Biao's grain and grass.

Liu Biao had hundreds of thousands of troops, and the food and forage he needed every day was an astronomical amount. Now that several batches have been cut off, there is no major problem. However, if Liu Rui completely cut off the food and forage, it would be an exception to the defeat and retreat. , he Liu Biao also did not have any other choice.

Liu Biao's number was twice that of Liu Rui, but he did not dare to take the initiative to attack. During the previous trials between the two sides, Liu Biao had already clearly understood the strength of Liu Rui's army. The robbery camp directly closed all the gates of the big camp, and simply came to ignore it.No matter how provocative Liu Rui was outside, Liu Biao couldn't hold on.Not only that, but the entire battalion of soldiers that was dispatched was strengthened to be more rigid. , , .

408: Guo Ziyi joins Hongnong

In Nong County, Liu Biao's army had successively captured the nine cities, but Liu Biao was in a hurry at that time, and he had no time to place his own men in various cities, so he could only let the original officials temporarily stay in place.

If Liu Biao could attack Chang'an in one go, there would be nothing wrong with doing so. After all, the previous situation was too urgent to ensure the stability of the nine cities. Cai's most needed thing at that time.

It's just that Liu Biao's move was a foolish move.

Liu Biao's army has now been dragged here by Liu Rui, unable to move, and the logistics line has been constantly harassed and intercepted by Huo Qubing, so military supplies can only be mobilized from nine nearby cities.

But now, Liu Rui has sent Guo Ziyi to Hongnong.

Hongnong Jiucheng is now considered an enemy-occupied area. Although Liu Biao did not place officials, each city has left a small number of defenders. These defenders are all Jingzhou soldiers.

If it were someone else, even if he knew the importance of the nine cities now, he would not dare to take risks.On the other hand, this Guo Ziyi, not only did not rush to this task to be afraid, but looked like he was enjoying it, and ran leisurely to Hongnong City.

When he arrived at Hongnong City, Guo Ziyi went straight to the prefect's residence of Hongnong and showed his identity straight to the point.

Besides, the prefect of Hongnong, after Liu Biao captured Hongnong, he drove away the original prefect. He chose an inconspicuous one from among the many officials of Hongnong, and wanted to use this kind of grace to win people over.

It's just that this Hongnong City has just changed hands a few days ago. In addition, Liu Rui was extremely generous and tolerant to officials of all sizes, so when he heard that it was Guo Ziyi under Liu Rui's command, he hurriedly invited Guo Ziyi to the mansion.

"Brother Ziyi, why did you come here alone? If you let those Jingzhou guards know about it, I'm afraid..." Prefect Hongnong asked anxiously, looking at Guo Ziyi, who was sitting calmly.

"Without him, the lord ordered me to recover Hongnong Jiucheng, and I came." Guo Ziyi picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea! Good tea! "

"Oh, my brother Ziyi! You should go back quickly. When the lord leads the army to come, I will definitely open the city gate to welcome the lord, and personally go to the lord to take the crime of surrendering to the enemy." Hongnong Prefect Weeping and begging in a low voice.

"Haha, the lord has something to say first. Previously, my army was exhausted, so I could only avoid fighting. You surrendered Liu Biao, but it was just a helpless move. The lord is the master of the world, how can you care about these small points!" Guo Ziyi laughed, He nodded again and said: "I heard that the former prefect is still in this Hongnong, and was secretly hidden by you by means of means. I will report this matter to the lord in the future."

The prefect of Hongnong looked overjoyed, but said a little disappointedly: "Alas! At that time, Liu Biao's old bandit army was pressing the city. I was afraid that he would cause harm to the people in the city, so I had no choice but to take refuge in the past. The lord didn't care about my betrayal. You are already a great kind and great virtue, how can you ask for credit?"

Guo Ziyi shook his head and said, "My lord has always been clear about rewards and punishments, merit is merit, and demerit is demerit. You appease the people in the city, rescue officials in distress, and even under the pressure of Liu Biao, you secretly sent information to Chang'an many times. One by one, it can be remembered in the heart of the lord."

The prefect of Hongnong burst into tears and said in a low voice: "I will always remember the benevolence and righteousness of the lord, but now Liu Biao's army is still marching towards Chang'an. Brother Ziyi, you came alone. Human feat, but now the defenders in the city are all Liu Biao's subordinates, and we civil servants are all weak and weak, although I have the will, but there is nothing I can do!" Xiaoshuowa.com

Guo Ziyi said with a smile: "Then Liu Biao's army has been suppressed by the lord and dare not move, and General Huo Qubing also led the light cavalry to intercept Liu Biao's grain transport team, and now only need to recover Hongnong Jiucheng, then Liu Biao will go deep alone and retreat. cut off."

The prefect of Hongnong was startled, stood up hastily, and asked anxiously, "Brother Ziyi is serious!"

Seeing Guo Ziyi smiling and nodding, the prefect of Hongnong couldn't sit still anymore, paced back and forth anxiously, and muttered: "No wonder the lord is coming to recover Hongnong Jiucheng, it's just such a crucial matter, lord Why did you only send Brother Ziyi here?"

Before Guo Ziyi could answer, he heard the prefect of Hongnong grit his teeth: "That's it! That's it! I think I was just a scumbag at the time, but luckily I was able to serve under the old prefect's command. Now, in this extraordinary period, I'm just a fool. When you come out, you will also help Brother Ziyi to complete this matter." After a pause, he shouted fiercely: "Housekeeper, go and gather all the servants in the house for me!"

Guo Ziyi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what the prefect of Hongnong was going to do, and he shook his head and laughed: "The prefect don't need to panic, I am free at this time, you just need to find four tall, ruthless-looking swordsmen and axemen. Can."

Prefect Hongnong was stunned for a moment, and then asked in doubt, "Brother Ziyi, what can you do, but it's safe?"

Guo Ziyi smiled and said, "You can just listen to me."

Prefect Hongnong nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "The old prefect has several close guards, all of them are tall and powerful, and they are quite skilled, I will go and invite the old prefect now. come over."

Guo Ziyi nodded and watched the Prefect of Hongnong go out, but he sat on the chair and tasted the tea comfortably.

It didn't take long for the old prefect to come together with the prefect of Hongnong, and there were four people behind him, all of whom were powerful and fierce.

Guo Ziyi nodded with satisfaction, and chatted with the old guard again, before turning his head and saying, "Now, all you need to do is call the guard Liu Biao left in Hongnong, and you can recover Hongnong!"
