Sun Jian looked at Zhu Zhi for a moment, and suddenly laughed with a "poof". He patted Zhu Zhi's arm vigorously, and the smile immediately dispersed. "Junli's heart, I received it, but my Sun family came from a humble background, and it is a blessing to be able to have today, how dare I be greedy. Jiangdong has a small population and a lack of horses, so it is difficult for the river to defend itself, and it is difficult to chase the Central Plains. At the end of the strong crossbow, it is difficult to enter Lu Min, and this time is the proof. Qin Wenbiao persuaded me, but unfortunately I won consecutive battles at that time, and I was proud of my ambition and didn't listen to him. ”

Zhu Zhi was surprised, and then nodded in agreement. "The general is right, the Sun family's background is not as far as the Yuan family, and it is enough to be proud of today. In order to deal with your father and son, Yuan Shao is extremely elite, and he even did such a thing as attacking and harassing Benzhou with Hu cavalry, which shows that he is in a hurry. Speaking of which, he is more anxious than the general. The general is not yet confused, but he wants to know the destiny of heaven. Ten years later, when the general knew the destiny of heaven, it was unknown whether he was still alive. ”

Sun Jian couldn't help laughing, crossed his hands on his hips, and exhaled a sullen breath. "Ten years later, Bo Fu is the year of establishment, Quan Er and Yi'er have also grown up, and my father and son and brothers work together, maybe they can really achieve a royal career. If there is a day, we must not forget Junli's words today. "He looked at Zhu Zhi." Junli, take a concubine, I know that your husband and wife are good, and the wife of the chaff will not go to court, but if there is no successor, what is the use of being rich and noble? Take a concubine, give birth to a few sons, and after a hundred years, you can also have blood food. ”

Zhu Zhi bowed his hand. "Thank you, Prince." He paused, and then said: "The military affairs are busy, and the matter of taking concubines is in a hurry, I want to have a child first, but I haven't had a chance to ask the prince for instructions yet." ”

"Whose child?"

"My sister's child, Shi Ran, is twelve years old this year."

"It's the same age as Quan'er, very good, after this battle, you will do this and let him go in and out with Bo Fu. Bo Fu is good at cultivating talents, unlike me, a father, who can't make it himself and bring his son to ruin. Yi'er, that kid is too much like me, it's hard to be in charge, and I plan to let him follow Bo Fu. He's still young, and he still has time to change. ”

Zhu Zhi couldn't help but laugh, and said meaningfully: "Prince, changing the festival in the prime of life is even more commendable. ”

Sun Jian also smiled and waved his hand. "Ashamed, ashamed." He laughed twice, then sighed again. "Chaowen said, Xi Ke died, even if he died in battle this time, he would not be considered a fool."

Zhu Zhi's face changed, and he was about to be persuaded, but was stopped by Sun Jian. "Don't worry, I will never commit suicide. Yuan Tan wants to take my head, and it depends on whether he has the ability. Junli, you help me plan and see if there is a way to oppose the customer. ”

Zhu Zhi was relieved and nodded. "Prince, please."

——

Chen Gong stood in front of the entire map of Yanzhou with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed and motionless.

Cao Ang held the lamp, looked at Chen Gong for a while, looked at the map for a while, and wanted to speak a few times, but swallowed it back. Wei Zhen on the side saw it in his eyes, pursed his lips, and was about to speak, but Cao Ang shook his head quietly. Wei Zhen had no choice but to swallow back the words that came to his lips, took a lamp, and stood on the other side of Chen Palace.

Chen Gong suddenly didn't know, outside the gods.

Cao Ren and Ren Jun sat on one side, and Le Jin and Yu Ban sat on the other side, either closing their eyes to recuperate, or drinking water silently, as little as possible without making a sound.

After a long while, Chen Gong turned around and returned to his seat, squinting his eyes and continuing to think. Cao Ang put the lamp back in its place and quietly moved his sore arm. He smiled silently at Cao Ren. Cao Ren bowed his head slightly, casting an appreciative look.

"Fujun." Chen Gong suddenly spoke. "Liu He entered Xuzhou first, we don't have much chance for the time being, and the previous plan has to be adjusted."

Cao Ang was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Chen Gong, and then nodded awkwardly. "Gongtai, you go on."

"Liu He transferred to Xuzhou, and Tao Qian, Sun Ce competed, the three parties were suspicious of each other, no one dared to go all out, Yuan Yuanjun surrounded Sun Jian at the moment and did not attack, the purpose was to lure Sun Ce into an ambush, so that Liu He let go and Tao Qian to fight, if Liu He occupied Xuzhou. In the future, if you take Yuzhou, there will be nothing to do with Yuan Qingzhou. ”

Cao Ang suddenly realized. He pondered for a moment. "So, I still have to go back to Yanzhou?"

"It's very likely, but it may also move to Jibei. I think that maybe the prince of the palace can lead both Mount Tai and Lu, and to the south he can take Peixian and Pengcheng, to the east he can take the East China Sea, and to the north he can threaten the plains, killing three birds with one stone. ”

Pan Zhang couldn't help but say: "Chen Gongtai, now about where Sun Ce came from for reinforcements, what are you doing so far?" ”

Chen Gong didn't hear it, he didn't take Pan Zhang seriously at all, and he didn't even look at him. Pan Zhang was furious and was about to get up, but Cao Ang hurriedly stopped him. "Wen Jue, don't be rude, listen to what the public platform says."

Pan Zhang was helpless and sat back indignantly.

Chen Gong continued: "Liu He is a native of Xuzhou, he can't become the assassin of Xuzhou, but he can be the assassin of Yuzhou." If Sun Ce can be driven out of Yuzhou, Liu He will assassinate Yuzhou and attack Sun Ce, for the sake of interests, Liu He will inevitably form an alliance with Yuan Yuanjun. In this way, Yuan Yuanjun did not have to attack Sun Ce, but also got a large number of war horses, the best of both worlds. ”

At the mention of the word war horse, Cao Ang and the others immediately perked up. They all know the importance of war horses. They fought with Sun Jian many times, and Sun Jian's personal guard rode left a deep impression on them. Although there were only about 500 horsemen, they could often decide the victory of a battle. I heard that Yuan Tan also suffered from Sun Jian's personal guard cavalry in the defeat of his single father, first he was quickly broken through the vanguard, and then he was chased and killed by the cavalry, with countless casualties.

If they can get enough horses, they can also form their own cavalry. Yuan Tan thought so, and Cao Ang thought so too.

"But the premise of all this is to hit Sun Ce hard and drive him out of Yuzhou." Chen Gong turned his head to look at Pan Zhang, his eyes sneering. "Of course, it would be great if Pan Sima could kill Sun Ce on the spot. With this great achievement, Xuzhou is the only one who belongs to the government, and Pan Sima can also get a county as the Taishou. ”

Pan Zhang rolled his eyes. "Then tell me, where will Sun Ce come from?"

"There are three possibilities: the first is Rencheng, followed by Hulu, and then Fangdong and Shan Father. Where do you want to guard? ”

"And—" Pan Zhang didn't care. "I'm guarding the lake and land, Sun Ce must be from here. Unless he is too timid to go from here. ”

Cao Ang also felt strange. Sun Ce is in the Pengcheng area, and it is undoubtedly the closest to take the lake and land, and it is also possible to defend the east and single father, but Rencheng is in the north, how can Sun Ce go around in a big circle and walk hundreds of miles more?

Chen Gong was unhurried. "That's right, Hulu is the closest, but what Sun Jian needs most at the moment is not reinforcements, but food. Sun Ce rushed to attack, time was pressing, and he could not attack the city, so he could only go around the city. If he can't enter the city to get supplies, how can he have food for Sun Jian? Taking Rencheng, although it seems to be a little farther, but plundering the counties, with food, Sun Jian can recover, and their father and son join forces, and the outcome is unknown. ”

Cao Ang suddenly realized. "Since this is the case, then draw the attention of the envoy and send someone to guard Rencheng, so as not to be exploited by Sun Ce."

Chen Gong shook his head. "Fu Jun, if Sun Ce takes the road to Hulu and is attacked by their father and son, our losses will be very large."
