"Wang Wu, Wang Heng and the others haven't come back yet? How many other scouts have returned now?" Scout Sima asked the team leader who was doing statistics, although he was also counting the number of returned scouts.
"Wang Wu and the others haven't come back yet. It's probably because the scouting team was too detailed. Of the 273 scout teams that were sent out before, 264 have returned. There are still nine teams that have not returned." The scouts were counting. The team leader replied to Sima that it was already relatively late at this point, and it would be time to bury the pot and cook in a while.
"Hey~" There was a sound of reining in the horse in the distance. Scout Sima and the team leader looked at the same time and saw two more scouts coming back.
"Two hundred and sixty-five teams have returned, and there are still eight teams that have not returned. There is no special military situation." The scout captain replied.
"Okay, you continue to wait here, I will report to the general and military advisor." Scout Sima glanced at the two scouts who came back without saying anything, nor did he suspect that something bad happened to the other eight scouts.
"Report!" Guo Jia and Guan Yu were sitting in the tent discussing the march situation after joining Zhang Fei. Although the two of them had discussed this military matter many times, whenever they got bored, Guo Jia would chat with Guan Yu again. chat.
"Speak!" Guan Yu glanced at Scout Sima and said only one word. Scout Sima felt a sense of majesty, coldness and arrogance rushing towards him. Although he had reported information to Guan Yu many times, every time he saw him stroking his big beard, he felt slightly When Guan Yu opened his eyes and glanced at him, Scout Sima had a feeling - majestic, cold and arrogant. Look, this is how a person's image is established.
Scout Sima lowered his head and recounted all the details. After making sure there was nothing missing, he lowered his head and waited for Guan Yu's order.
"Two hundred and seventy-three teams, 265 have returned. Are there eight teams left that haven't returned?" Guo Jia thought for a moment, and after making sure they were still within the normal range, he didn't ask any more questions. He nodded towards Guan Yu.
"Report the information about the scouts who have not returned. You can leave." Guan Yu's deep voice came over.
Scout Sima quickly presented the bamboo slips. Guo Jia glanced at them and was slightly startled. He also put down the wine glass that he had already picked up. He reached out to pick up the bamboo slips and looked at them carefully. His expression was a little gloomy.
"But is there a problem?" Guan Yu and Guo Jia had been working together for a long time. When he saw Guo Jia picking up the bamboo slips instead of drinking, he knew there was a problem. So he asked.
"I'm afraid there is an ambush in this area." Guo Jia sighed and said. It is indeed very normal for seven or eight scout teams not to come back. After all, the magical creatures like the scouts probe too deeply and sometimes come back late. Two or three hundred It¡¯s common for a team of two to have seven or eight teams not come back!
"The opponent will not have many people, and they are ambushing us to the west. The number will not be more than a thousand, and they are very likely to avoid us. There is also the possibility of an attack, and the leader will probably be at the level of internal energy separation." Guo Although Jia was suspicious, he could guess the general situation just by looking at the bamboo slips in his hand.
"Okay, let's make preparations early!" Guan Yu never thought about Guo Jia's wrong guess. Having been with Guo Jia for a long time, Guan Yu also knows that Guo Jia's judgments rarely make mistakes, although it is really shocking that he can infer to this extent just from a bamboo slip with no relevant information. But for Guo Jia, Guan Yu now has absolute trust.
Guo Jia sighed. He quite likes to explain to others, but it's a pity that Guan Yu has been working with him for a long time and no longer asks him why like before.
"Show me the map. Let me find the opponent's location and determine the opponent's arms. If possible, it would be better for us to ambush them." Guo Jia said boredly.
Guan Yu fumbled twice in his arms and threw a cowhide map to Guo Jia. Guo Jia kept making gestures on the map with his knuckles, and finally sighed silently, "I underestimated the other party."
"How come Fengxiao, you sometimes make mistakes?" Guan Yu stroked his beard and said with a smile. He was very interested in Guo Jia's failure.
"It's not that we were mistaken, but the other party is a little far away from us, and they are all cavalry. Their strength is estimated to be only a thousand people. They are ambushing in the hills in the northwest. They may have also conducted a conspiracy with us before. Xiang March, and the target is really us." Guo Jia was amazed and admired the other party's courage.
"You can even estimate the types of soldiers this time?" Guan Yu was surprised.
"The distance is so far. If you rush over and attack, the scouts will be suspicious if they don't return for too long, so time cannot be lost. We have a strong military advantage. Even if the opponent attacks at night, they can only focus on destroying morale. According to the opponent's The courage and carefulness will definitely not give you a fight to the death.??In this way, fighting quickly and retreating quickly is the way to go. "Guo Jia said calmly, and Guan Yu understood this analysis.
"They are all cavalry. The cavalry here must be Lu Bu's, so they can only be wolf cavalry, and they have terrain advantages. If the opponent does not rush into our pocket, they will definitely escape successfully." Guan Yu nodded and said.
"But I'm curious which general under Lu Bu has such courage and such careful thinking." Guo Jia said curiously, "It's a pity that he has been fighting in the north and Jizhou recently and doesn't have much time to contact the world's intelligence. Otherwise, he should be able to Guess who the other party is.¡±
"But this is enough!" A cold light flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, "I will order my soldiers to step up their vigilance."
Guo Jia didn't speak. He was very curious now. A top general who could kill two scouts at a considerable distance in an instant without giving the scouts the slightest reaction, and who still decided to attack secretly even though he knew the other party was Guan Yu, actually led only A thousand people!
¡¾It seems that the other party is not powerful in Lu Bu's hands, so you can try to persuade him. ] Guo Jia carefully looked at the direction in which the scouts from the eighth team who had not returned were exploring, and finally determined that the other party had indeed killed a team of scouts and then marched in the same direction with them.
¡¾He is bold and careful, and he is strong enough. If dusk falls today and the other party really comes to kill him while he is making rice, I am afraid that this person can be said to be the best in the world in all aspects. ] Guo Jia silently thought that Guo Jia had given a very high evaluation to the unmasked Zhang Liao in their first encounter.
[Unfortunately, the other party has never thought that I have just numbered 360 scouts recently. After they are dispersed like this, I can even figure out where you are. After killing eight scouts, how far away are you from my company? Everyone can make guesses and let you attack at night! ] Guo Jia thought with a sneer.
Zhang Liao had no idea that Guo Jia had already exposed him even before he took action. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
