After eating breakfast, Simbi washed up again, but he didn't feel sleepy. He thought about it, asked the waiter to find two boxes of medicine, went out of the tent, and went straight to the baggage camp.

Wen Chou was lying in the tent, not waking up yet, and the two guards sat on the side, looking tired. Seeing Xinbi, he hurriedly got up and saluted.

"How is General Wen's injuries?"

The guards looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. At this time, Wen Chou moved and said in a low voice: "I can't die." Dare to ask who it is? ”

Xin Bi turned his head to see that Wen Chou's eyelids twitched, but he couldn't open his eyes. He hurriedly held down Wen Chou. "Zijun, it's me, Xinbi. Don't move, lie down, I've brought you good medicine, I'll have someone change it for you right away. ”

Wen Chou was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said: "Thank you, Mr. George, Chou is grateful." ”

Xin Bi laughed and motioned for the attendant to take out the medicine and let Wen Chou's personal guards prepare hot water and clean cloth. "Zijun, this is the wound medicine of Nanyang Materia Medica, and it has a miraculous effect on wound healing."

"Sir, how can you afford to be ugly."

"Zijun is polite." Xin Bi patted Wen Chou on the shoulder. "Zijun charged into battle and fought Sun Ce head-on, I admire it very much. Sun Ce is brave and extremely cunning, and I have also suffered from him. Speaking of which, Zijun and I are in the same disease. ”

The corners of Wen Chou's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a hint of a smile. He knew that Xinbi's affairs had become a joke in Yecheng, and he was often ridiculed by Hebei people. It's just that he never thought that he would be in sympathy with Simbi. Although he was seriously injured, his brain was not confused, and Xin Bi was suddenly so polite, he must have asked for something. He was silent, waiting for Simbi to speak.

Seeing this, Xin Bi smiled and said, "Zijun is seriously injured and needs to recuperate, so I'll make a long story short." ”

Wen Chou replied softly. He was indeed seriously injured and did not have the energy to speak politely to Simbi.

"As far as Zijun knows, if Sun Ce succeeds in an ambush, how many people can he capture and how many horses can he get?"

Wen Chou thought for a moment. "There are about a thousand war horses, and it is difficult to say what pack horses will do, and it is likely that they will all fall into his hands." He paused, then added, "One thing, I've never been sure. ”

"Which point?"

"How many rides does Sun Ce have?"

Simbi's heart moved. "Zijun doesn't know?"

"I originally judged from the number of banners that Sun Ce should have about 1,000 horsemen, but now I feel that he may not have so many horses, and it is likely to replace reality with fiction. As for how many of his rides, I have no way of knowing. Wen Chou opened his eyes with great difficulty, turned his head, looked at Xin Bi, and said in a dumb voice: "I heard from the guards that Sun Ce will ambush the main force in Baishan. The scope of Kashiwa Mountain is limited, and it seems that there are no more than a thousand horsemen to hide. ”

"In Zijun's opinion, how much is it?"

"Most likely only half, five hundred rides. Judging from the amount of horse manure left along the way, Sun Ce's war horses may not exceed six hundred. ”

"In other words, counting the horses, the cavalry does not exceed five hundred?"

"Even ...... Less. ”

Simbi patted his thigh and woke up from a dream. "Zijun, we may have all been deceived by Sun Ce. He left the camp early the morning of the day, and it was said that there were only about two hundred men, but there were four hundred horses, and one man rode in pairs. ”

Wen Chou was stunned, and his eyes were a little hollow. He understood what Xin Bi meant, Sun Ce not only did not have a thousand horses, but also did not have five hundred horses, and if his estimate of six hundred horses was true, then Sun Ce only had three hundred.

It was a great shame that the two thousand horsemen were routed by the three hundred horsemen, and that they were seriously wounded.

Xin Bi's eyes swept and saw Wen Chou's expression, knowing what he was thinking, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. According to his analysis, Sun Ce is likely to only have these two hundred horsemen. The reason is very simple, Sun Jian himself has a personal guard cavalry, and the losses are limited, he does not need to leave Sun Ce's limited cavalry to strengthen his strength, and let Sun Ce only take two hundred cavalry to guerrilla attacks on the periphery.

Xin Bi comforted Wen Chou a few words, and suddenly left the baggage camp and rushed to the front of the battle. When he came to the front line, Yuan Tan was spinning around on the command platform, looking anxious, like a beast in prison. Preparations are underway before the battle, and no attack has yet been launched. Puzzled, Simbi hurriedly went to the podium.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yuan Tan stepped up with an arrow, holding Xin Bi's hand, revealing an ugly smile. "George came so fast."

Xin Bi was slightly stunned. "The envoy is waiting for me?"

Yuan Tan was also stunned. He sent someone to invite him, and he was wondering when he came shortly after the people left. As soon as the two of them spoke, they knew that something had gone wrong. Yuan Tan told Xin Bi the news he had just received, and Xin Bi smiled after looking at it.

"Envoy, Sun Ce may have three thousand horses, but it is impossible to have three thousand knights. This is Guo Jia's trick and suspicious tactic. ”

"How so?"

"Jiangdong is short of horses, Sun Ce has been buying horses from Liangzhou and Bingzhou, and his personal guards have always been around 1,000 people, this is a situation that the king has known for a long time, why is there suddenly thousands of knights now? He ambushed Wen Chou and could get more horses, but it was difficult for knights to become fast, even if Sun Ce was good at training, he would not be able to train cavalry in just a few days. To say that he had trained the cavalry before, just waiting to replenish the war horses, it would be appalling. ”

Yuan Tan felt that Sun Ce had this possibility, this person was too shrewd, and he was almost exhausted. But he didn't want to argue with Simbi about it.

"George, Lu Fan led his troops into the country, Sun Ce wanted to take Changyi, and Guo Jia led his troops to come for reinforcements, what should we do, do we continue to attack Sun Jian?"

Xin Bi looked at Sun Jian's camp in the distance, and a trace of disappointment passed through his heart. He had already made it clear to Yuan Tan that this was a big gamble. Since it's a big gamble, you can't look ahead and look backwards. Yuan Tan was obviously not mentally prepared for this, he was timid before he fought, always thinking about preserving his strength, and still seeking a perfect plan. The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and in the face of the aggressive Sun Ce, how can such a Yuan Tan win?

Simpi groaned. "Envoy, if Sun Ce really goes to take Changyi, this is our best chance. Changyi Chengjian, the family in Changyi City just drove Sun Jian out of the city not long ago, and almost took Sun Jian's life, if the city is broken, how can Sun Ce spare them? As for Guo Jia from the east, this is indeed a strong enemy, he led the elite trained by Sun Ce himself, and his combat power is stronger than Sun Jian's subordinates, and the general needs to send people to reinforce Lu Qian, hold the lake and land, and buy time. ”

He turned around, looked at Yuan Tan, and said softly, "Envoy, ask the alliance leader for help." Father and son soldiers in battle, Sun's father and son are both famous generals, so that you can hold on to the present, you have proved your courage and ability, now is the right time to ask the alliance leader for help. The big husband can bend and stretch, let alone between father and son. ”

Yuan Tan blinked, unwilling. "Even if you ask for help, the reinforcements will not arrive immediately, and it is difficult to quench your thirst in the far water."

"Rest assured, I have a plan to quench my thirst, and it is not inconsistent with asking for help from the alliance leader."

"What's the plan?"

"Zhang Miao, Liu He."

Yuan Tan's eyelids were raised, a smile bloomed from the corner of his eyes, and quickly spread, and the whole person became radiant. He raised his hand and patted his forehead and laughed loudly. "George, you're so right, since Sun Ce wants to gamble, we'll bet with him to the end."
