"Watch the fire from afar? Turn the tables?"
Zhang Mu was stunned. For a moment, he thought Guo Jia was a transmigrator.
These two words came from the " Thirty-six Stratagems ", or " Thirty-six Tactics ", which referred to the thirty-six military strategies in history. They originated from the Northern and Southern Dynasties and were written in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Watching the fire from the other side of the river was to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. The origin of this word was related to Yuan Shao. It referred to Yuan Shao's time when Cao Cao sat and watched Yuan Shao's three children fight among themselves. In the end, Cao Cao sat and benefited from it.
Turning the guest into the master also referred to Yuan Shao's annexation of Jizhou.
These things hadn't happened yet, but the words came out of Guo Jia's mouth.
"Ziyu, do you know Lord Wu 'an of the Pre-Qin Dynasty?"
Guo Jia thought that Zhang Mu didn't understand what he meant and couldn't help but remind him.
Zhang Mu was now a person who had lived two lives, so his knowledge was not low. He instantly reacted.
Back then, Baiqi had won the Battle of Changping and killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers. He had already surrounded Handan and was about to destroy the country. Su Dai had contacted Fan Ju, a civil official in Qin who was at odds with Baiqi, to create internal strife in Qin.
In the end, the king of Qin was bewitched and ordered Bai Qi to die. Zhao was able to save itself from destruction.
This was indeed watching the fire from afar.
"Turning the guest into the host, is the filial piety referring to that Yuan Shao?”Zhang Mu asked with a smile.
"That's right!" Guo Jia nodded and said," That Han Fu is a member of the Yuan family. To commemorate the old friendship, she gave Bohai County to Yuan Shao. It was an act of inviting a wolf into the house. In the end, she was harmed."”
"Brother Fengxiao is right!" Zhang Mu nodded in agreement and asked,""Then I wonder how to do this?”
"This matter is easy." Guo Jia's eyes flashed with unprecedented brilliance.
What followed was an hour-long plan.
Zhang Mu deeply experienced the ability of a genius, and this was obviously just the tip of the iceberg of Guo Jia's talent. After all, he didn't spend time thinking about it and just casually set it up.
"Guo Jia is a genius and a strategist. In this era, he is truly terrifying.”
Looking at Guo Jia's back, Zhang Mu's eyes were gloomy.
During their conversation just now, he had tried to recruit Guo Jia, but Guo Jia had no intention of acknowledging him as his master.
However, this didn't mean that he would reject it.
Between smart people, they all understood.
Guo Jia had previously interacted with him as a friend and even thought of joining the same dukedom as a " colleague " in the future. It was obvious that he had never analyzed him from the perspective of a subject.
Now that he suddenly mentioned it, he needed time to digest it.
However, Guo Jia was willing to give him advice, which represented his initial approval. He did not entertain him for so long in vain.
Next, it would depend on whether his performance could satisfy him, and he could accept this great talent.
Such talent could only be a friend, not an enemy.
If they were enemies, he would not be so evil as to kill them casually out of fear, but he would not be so foolish as to ignore such a talent.
"If Brother Fengxiao doesn't like my pirate ship, then I can only trouble you to be a rich man in my territory in the future.”
In this era, there was no room for mercy.
"Summon Xu Chu and Xu Ding to see me!"
............
Half an hour later, in front of the gate of Zhang Manor.
Zhang Mu bid farewell to his newly married concubine. He donned his armor and rode on his warhorse. With Xu Chu's assistance, he led his 3,000 elite soldiers out of the western city gate and rushed towards Qiao County.
Strangely, and contrary to common sense, this troop did not have a supply team to transport the weapons, rations, and clothing that the troops needed to carry.
It was precisely because of this that the speed at which this army was reorganized was so fast.
However, no one felt that it was inappropriate.
Many Feng County citizens even came to the county town to see the army off. Their eyes were filled with hope and hope, as well as blessings.
Two hours after they left, a carriage escorted by Xu Ding and a hundred men slowly left in the same direction.
............
There were 21 counties in Pei Country, and Feng County was located in the northernmost part, adjacent to Chenliu County of Yanzhou.
There were quite a number of famous people in Feng County, such as Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Xiao He, Zhou Yafu, and so on.
The nearest county to the east of Feng County was Pei County, which was the Xiao Pei County where Liu Bei, the future herdsman of Yuzhou, had stationed his troops to resist Cao Cao for Tao Qian. It would take half a day to arrive on a fast horse.
Three days of riding on a fast horse to the south of Feng County would take them to Xiang County, where the Prefecture of Pei Country was located.
To the southwest of Feng County and to the northwest of Xiang County was Qiao County, where Yuzhou was located.
Qiao County also had many famous people, including Cao Cao's family, the Xiahou family, and Xu Chu.
"Zhongkang, it's getting late. Set up camp and make a fire to cook!”
The summer was hot and the days were longer. It was already half past 17:00 to 19:00, and the sun had only set halfway.
However, Zhang Mu wasn't in a hurry to rush to Qiao County, nor did he plan to travel at night.
"Yes!"
With Xu Chu's order, the soldiers under his command immediately moved. One of them was responsible for burying the bones and cooking. As for the tools and food needed, Zhang Mu casually waved his hand and piled them up into a mountain.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers 'eyes became extremely fanatical.
His lord was indeed a god who had descended to the mortal world. It would definitely not be wrong to follow him.
.......
Two hours later.
Zhang Mu, who had finished dinner with the soldiers, returned to his tent and sat down cross-legged.
The next moment, he returned to the special space, leaving behind a special 3D phantom as a substitute.
If someone entered the three-meter radius of the phantom, he would immediately sense it.
"Speed adjustment, reverse!"
After returning to the special space, Zhang Mu immediately returned to the modern world and adjusted the flow of time.
Controlling the flow of time was a special ability of a special space.
When Zhang Mu was in the late Han Dynasty or the modern era, he could make the time flow in the other world four times faster or four times slower. The time flow in the space was the same as the world he was in.
Under normal circumstances, when he was in one world, he would slow down the time flow in the other world by four times.
For example, two days had passed in the modern world, but only half a day had passed in the late Han world, which was also one night.
This way, he would have more time to deal with things, and he would not have to worry about being discovered missing if he stayed too long on a certain side, causing the situation to become worse.
"Hmm? Eleven o'clock in the morning was just the right time.”
Zhang Mu skillfully turned on his phone and walked out of the room in a modern outfit that he had changed into in a special space.
But the next moment, he was stunned.
In the open kitchen, a beautiful figure wearing only a thin white shirt was skillfully shuttling around and cooking.
Gulp!
Zhang Mu swallowed his saliva uneasily.
"Sister Yun?"
