Chapter 434 Guo Da's hesitation
Since he got this imperial edict, Guo Da also couldn't sleep at night. He understood another meaning in the imperial edict. After defecting to the Han court, he was awarded the title of an inconspicuous miscellaneous general, but Zhonglang was different. Even in today's war period, the Zhonglang general recognized by the Han court still had certain real power.
"General, please see me!"
Guo Da nodded and said, "Let him in!" Since owning Runan Yingchuan County, the strength of the yellow scarf has soared. Although the people under his rule still live a hard life, it is much better than exile in exile, and Guo Daye also likes his soldiers to call him a general. Such a name makes him feel extremely comfortable all over his body, from the yellow scarf thief who is shouting to the present. How difficult it is for General Han. I'm afraid only you can know the hardships. Guo Da has been able to cross the Han Dynasty for many years, and his own strength should not be underestimated.
"Sir, I'm here late at night. I don't know what's going on?"
Yu Shan arched his hand and said, "Come here for the matter in the general's heart!"
"Oh, let's take a look."
Yu Shan paused for a moment and said slowly, "The general's life has been ruled by a horse. As the saying goes, the name is not good. At this time, the elite of the Cao army occupied the land of Qingzhou, and his strength increased again. In contrast, our army only has the land of two counties in Yuzhou, and the people under his rule are suffering, even if Cao Cao does not invade. I'm afraid that our army can't last long, and now the general is a Han minister. If he disobeys the order of the court and changes the order overnight, he is afraid that it will cause people all over the world to spit on him.
"A lot of nonsense! The people in the world are nothing. The yellow scarf is not the anti-thief that everyone shouts to fight, and now it is also the Han army, hum." Guo Da said angrily that he would not be in a good mood if anyone denies the results of hard work.
"General, calm your anger, and listen to me!" Yu Dan continued: "The generals in our army have been fighting with the Han army for many years, and the two sides have a deep hatred, but if the general submits to the Han court, he will no longer worry about his future life. Cao Cao is a man of great talent. The general is also a tough general in the battlefield, and he can also be valued under his command, and the generals in the army can also have a proper name. As generals of the Han army, some generals will strongly oppose it, but in the future, they will also understand the deep meaning of the general, and they will be grateful to the general.
Guo Da's face was meditating. Although Yu Dan's previous words were not pleasant to listen to him, he thought about it carefully, but there was also a certain truth. Who didn't want to think about the things behind him? Guo Da turned to the court and thought that the descendants of future generations would not be scolded by the name of traitors and thieves.
"Is it sure to fight against Cao Jun with the land of two counties?" Yu Dan asked.
Guo Da shook his head feebly. The soldier's combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the other party. In terms of the general's combat ability, it was not as good as Cao's army, otherwise Guo Da would not have been chased by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao from Qingzhou and other places to Yuzhou.
"Come to the middle of the court to make it clear that the lord will be the general of Zhonglang." Yu Dan's tone turned and said, "If the general doesn't want to turn to Cao's army, he can only defend according to the city and slowly. Cao Cao captured Yuan Shao's Qingzhou. With Yuan Shao's character, there will definitely be a fight between the two sides. After successive battles, Cao's army lack of food and fodder, and the two sides will inevitably have a stalemate. At that time, the general can also lead his command to fight well. Shi, it's okay to fight everywhere. I think of the general Jia Rong. In the past, he was just a small soldier under Dong Zhuo's account.
Guo Da said slowly, "This matter is very important. Let me think about it for a few days and treat the angels of the court."
"No!" Yu Dan said goodbye and left.
Walking out of Guo Da's mansion, Yu Dan's face was not very good-looking. He pointed out two ways for Guo Da. The first is to turn to Cao Cao and live the rest of his life safely. He doesn't need to be wary of enemies from all directions all the time. He will live the rest of his life safely. The second is to fight in the world. Obviously, Guo Da is the first He was a little moved. Anyway, he and Guo Da are both masters and servants. They don't want Guo Da to suffer a bad end in the end. No matter what Guo Da chooses, he will never leave him. The scholar dies for his confidant. Yu Shan thinks that his talent is not high, and there are many omissions in his strategy. Being able to shoulder heavy responsibilities in the army is completely Guo Da's trust.
Guo Da finally chose to turn to Cao Cao. After years of war, he was a little tired of such a life. Yu Dan learned that Guo Da's choice did not show great surprise, as if everything was expected, and he looked carefree.
Guo Da's choice has caused a lot of controversy among the senior officials of the Yellow Turban Army. Since Guo Da led the Yellow Turban Army, it has been invincible. Now he has the land of two counties in Yuzhou. He has enough strength to compete with Cao Cao. It is not difficult to occupy the whole Yuzhou. Why did he surrender to Cao Cao? They really can't understand. In troubled times, having soldiers in hand is the greatest capital. What can a strong family do? After breaking through the city, it is not a mermaid.
"It has been nearly ten years since the yellow scarf started the army. What have you got? Seeing that countless relatives fell one by one, they fled in a hurry under the pursuit of the Han army, and then developed again. Such resistance was completely contrary to the will of the great sage and good teacher who rose up on that day. The great sage and good master wanted to build a country where the people could live and work in peace and work, so that the people would no longer be bullied. Looking back and see what we did, Whenever I go to a place, there is constant plundering, and then the suffering people add the yellow scarf again, which makes the strength of the yellow scarf grow again, and then there is endless fighting. You must be a little tired of this kind of life, right? Guo Da said in a low and calm voice.
Guo Da has a prestige that ordinary people can't reach in the yellow scarf. The black mountain yellow scarf has hundreds of thousands of troops, which can be said to be powerful. However, compared with Guo Da's record, it is a small witch. Zhang Yan can only station in Montenegro with a group of yellow scarfs. When Yuan Shao is unprepared, he can come up. .
The yellow scarf generals in the account were all silent. Although Guo Da's words greatly hit the morale of the Yellow Turban Army, they were telling the truth. From an ordinary person to this step, what is it for? In the final analysis, they want to have a good life. If they don't use war to get all this, they will never pick up knives and guns. In the fight against the elite Han army, the people are simple. As long as they can live and have a full meal, they will never put their heads on their belts to rebel. At the beginning, they followed the virtuous and good teacher was also out of helplessness. There was no food at home. Seeing one family starve to death one after another, their choice was in a certain way. It was also the ruler who forced them to this point.
"After you go back, think about it. After making a decision, we will discuss it again. If you don't want to surrender to Hanting, I, Guo Da, will not force it, but you can't force the soldiers under your command, brothers. I don't want to fight each other in the end." After Guo Da finished speaking, he got up and left the big account.
Zhang Han followed Guo Da to the Taishou Mansion in a single way and couldn't help asking, "Did the lord decide to surrender to Cao Cao?"
Yu Shan stared at Zhang Han and said, "Among the princes in the world, there are seven major forces, Jia Rong of the Xiliang Army, Cao Cao's Army, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Yan of Yizhou, Yuan Shu of Yangzhou, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, and Tao Qian of Tao Qian of Xuzhou. These seven forces are the strongest of the princes today, and the rest of them are not worried. The Xiliang Army is strong and has the name of brave. Which battle is not exciting to subdue the Xiongnu? Cao Cao in Yanzhou had a prestige in his early years. He assassinated Dong Zhuo alone, sent articles to fight against Dong Zhuo, and achieved a career. Now he has half of Yanzhou and Xuzhou in Qingzhou. He has strong strength. Yuan Shao, Jizhou, is the fourth generation and three princes. Yuan's of the Yuan family are all over the world. And Gen. Yuan Shaolixian, a good fighter under his command, is like a cloud, and there are countless good counselors. Youzhou Gongsun Zan has repeatedly defeated his hand and is one of the strong troops. Liu Biao in Jingzhou is not enterprising enough. Yangzhou Yuan Shu only knows that the horizontal expedition is violent. Yizhou Liu Yan has been shrinking in the land of Yizhou. Although the soldiers are enough, he has no intention to make progress. Therefore, among the seven major forces, only Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Jia Rong are the strongest.
After listening to Yu Dan's analysis, Guo Dadao: "Mr. Yu's words are reasonable, but the emperor is in Yanzhou. Cao Cao is thirsty for virtuousness. If he is obedient, you can also be useful. Chang'an Jia Rong is too far away from this place, and our army has no contact with him. I'm afraid he disdains to accept the yellow scarf. Although he has a virtuous name among the people, he is not taking the exam. I'm worried."
Zhang Han was shocked and said, "Has the lord decided to obey Cao Cao?"
Guo Da Dao: "I haven't thought about it yet!" In fact, he was more inclined to Cao Cao in his heart, otherwise he would not have said such words in the previous big account. Cao Cao had the son of heaven in his hand, and he turned to him, which seemed to be more just and obedient, and the elite soldiers in Cao Cao's hand were not suitable. Guo Da had never fought with the Xiliang army, but he thought that Cao's army was definitely not much weaker than the famous Xiliang army in the world. Less.
"Lord, although Chang'an Jia Rong is relatively far away from here, he has a way to get in touch with them." Zhang Han said slowly.
Guo Da was shocked, but thinking of the previous decision in the big account, he calmed down. Now the choice of the yellow scarf is which force to turn to, not to investigate the generals who has dealings with. "Let's talk about it."
"Lord, military stor, be careful that there are ears on the wall." Zhang Han said carefully that half of the land in Yuzhou belongs to Cao Cao, and maybe Cao Cao's secret agents are already everywhere in today's army.
The three returned to Guo Da's tent. The soldiers guarding here were the soldiers who had followed Guo Da for many years, which was trustworthy.
Zhang Han said, "Have you ever heard of Xianlian Pavilion?"
"Xianlian Pavilion must have a great relationship with the Xiliang Army, otherwise the headquarters will not be located in Jincheng first, and then follow Jia Rong to Chang'an. As long as you discuss it with the people of Xianlian Pavilion, you will definitely be able to get in touch with the Xiliang Army."
Guo Da thought for a long time and said, "General Zhang, it's up to you to do this matter. Don't leak the news." Zhang Han's words made his heart ripple again that he had decided to turn to Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao was strong, he was not as strong as the Xiliang Army, and Jia Rong's strategy of governing the people was too similar to the original intention of Daxian Liangshi's uprising in those years. If he defected to the Xiliang Army, the generals under his command would not have much resistance, which made Guo Da valued more. Yes, Jia Rong comes from a civilian background and has similarities with him.
