"He Hao should be in Yecheng, right?"

"He should go to the spender." Guo Jia said: "Yuan Shao is swinging in the yin. To conquer the Montenegrin army, Dangyin is the closest. ”

"At this time?" Sun Ce was a little surprised. Qiu Laohu is so hot that even he feels uncomfortable, Yuan Shao, a person from a noble son, can also do it?

"This is the best time to do it." Guo Jia grinned, hehe, with a hint of pride. "Montenegro is too close to Yecheng and there are many people, which may pose a threat to Yecheng at any time. Gongsun Zhan retreated to Hejian and still controlled the northern part of Jizhou. If you don't know how to suppress the Black Mountain Army, the horse will be fat after the autumn, once Gongsun Chan makes a comeback, how can Yuan Shao rest assured that he will fight? ”

Guo Jia took a sip of sour plum soup, moistened his throat, and then said: "The Montenegrin army is defending against danger, but they also have to eat, and at this time, they either grab the harvest or simply burn it, so that the Montenegrin army has no food to eat, and after a winter, the Montenegrin army will starve to death a lot of people." They allied with Gongsun Chan and captured Yecheng, annoying Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao didn't retaliate, he wouldn't be Yuan Shao. ”

Sun Ce thought about it and was surprised. This method was used by someone in the Three Kingdoms era: Zhuge Ke. Zhuge Ke's use of this method to deal with Shanyue has achieved remarkable results, and it is indeed a good method. But he didn't expect Yuan Shao to use this method to deal with the Montenegrin army, there is no record in history, and the Montenegrin army has not yielded, and has been entangled with Yuan Shao for many years, until Gongsun Zan was wiped out by Yuan Shao, and the Montenegrin army did not surrender, and finally surrendered to Cao Cao.

Is this method not suitable, or is the Montenegrin army stronger than Shanyue? But in any case, Yuan Shao's performance was better than he expected.

Maybe it was because he failed in the end, so history intentionally or unintentionally erased his record?

"Fengxiao, what do you think of Yuan Shao's ability to use soldiers?"

Guo Jia looked at Sun Ce, which was meaningful. "General, compared to you, Yuan Shao is more like the overlord of Chu."

Sun Ce was silent. The answer came as a surprise to him. He asked about Yuan Shao's ability to use troops, Guo Jia said that he was more like Xiang Yu, did he mean that he had Xiang Yu's ability to use troops, or was it not only that? Speaking of which, Yuan Shao is really a bit like Xiang Yu, born in a nobleman, ascending to the heights, and the world responds. The result is also very similar, only half a step away from winning the world, and even one foot has already stepped on it, but in the end it collapsed inexplicably and lost to his former subordinates.

Of course, it may not be inexplicable, but part of the truth has been erased by the historical historian, which is why it seems confusing.

"General, although the battle of Jieqiao is due to Gongsun Zhan's own mistakes, Yuan Shao's surprise victory is also the key, and Lu Yi's step breaking is even more wonderful. If it weren't for Yuan Shao's courage to employ people and fight hard, even if Gongsun Chan made a mistake, the outcome would be unpredictable. Jieqiao is Yuan Shao's giant deer. ”

It has been a few months since the Battle of Jieqiao, and Guo Jia has received more news one after another, and his understanding of this battle has become deeper and deeper. Sun Ce didn't ask about those details, he was summarized and synthesized by Guo Jia and reported to him, so he didn't feel as strong as Guo Jia. Probably because Guo Jia felt that he didn't pay enough attention to Yuan Shao, so he took the opportunity to talk about the ancient times by the chasm.

Sun Ce has always advised Guo Jia to grasp the big and let go of the small, combining work and rest, in fact, he himself is often entangled in trivial matters, the military affairs of the 10,000-strong army are already very complicated, and he has to provide preliminary preparations for the stationing of Zhu Jun's main army, plus in the face of Yuan Tan's forty or fifty thousand people, any negligence may lead to a fiasco, and he cannot relax at all.

Jieqiao, is Yuan Shao's giant deer? Maybe, but Yuan Shao's peak has not really arrived, and a few years later, he will plan to attack and kill Gongsun Zan and unify Hebei, which is the most proud time of his life.

While thinking about Yuan Shao's life trajectory in history, Sun Ce was thinking about the information on the Battle of the Boundary Bridge sent by Guo Jia recently, and suddenly understood the true meaning of being a Venerable One. Yuan Shao was defeated, but his horse boy Cao Cao won, history is written by the victor, how can Cao Cao write Yuan Shao? It's a headache. I had to be vague and secretive. The Yuan Shao I know through the history books is likely to have been deformed - because he is a loser - the Yuan Shao I have to deal with now is the real Yuan Shao, and the Yuan Shao who has not yet failed is more real and stronger than the Yuan Shao in the book, and he is by no means the resourceful and indecisive celebrity, but a ruthless overlord.

The suzerain of the Yuan family, the leader of the party, the leader of the rangers, one in the court, one in the opposition, one in the rivers and lakes, Yuan Shao eats all black and white. I may be able to share a small cup of soup on the Yuan clan sect master and separate Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui's protégés from Yuan Shao's hands, but the other two items are powerless. The party didn't bird me, and the rangers didn't look at me squarely, and the two sides were not on the same level at all. No wonder Cao Cao gave Yuan Shao half his life's junior brother, and it was not until Jian'an five years that he broke with Yuan Shao, or because Yuan Shao was pressing step by step, he had to resist.

Guo Jia said that he was more like Xiang Yu, did he remind me to be careful of Yuan Shao, or encouraged me not to give up, or did Yuan Shao, like Xiang Yu, have insurmountable character flaws, seemingly powerful, but not invincible?

Seeing that Sun Ce was distracted, Guo Jia and Zhang Hong did not bother, and fished quietly on the side, letting Sun Ce think slowly. Sun Ce has excellent understanding and can accept different opinions, but he lacks experience. Just give him time, and he'll get something.

It's a pity that such opportunities are always rare. A fast horse galloped from a distance, and the knight turned over and dismounted, hurried to Guo Jia, knelt on one leg, and delivered a secret letter sealed with a copper pipe. Guo Jia took it and looked at it, and glanced at Zhang Hong, who glanced at Sun Ce not far away, and signaled Guo Jia not to disturb in a hurry. Guo Jia understood, pulled out the book knife on his waist, pried off the sealing mud on it, took out the secret letter inside and looked at it, his slightly delicate eyebrows suddenly shrugged, and then handed the secret letter to Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong took the secret letter with one hand, glanced at it, and handed it back, looking at the river and silent, but his eyes were a little solemn.

Guo Jia threw down the fishing rod, walked to Zhang Hong's side, and whispered, "What do you think, sir?" ”

"The time is not ripe." Zhang Hong shook his head, paused for a moment, and added. "It's too risky."

Guo Jia smacked his lips, but he didn't say anything, his eyes rolled, obviously not giving up, and he wanted to persuade Zhang Hong. Zhang Hong turned his head to look at him, then looked at Sun Ce not far away, and said in a low voice: "Fengxiao, the general is young, and he is already easy to be impulsive, you can't bewitch him anymore." Hedong is hundreds of miles away from here, and the general has killed 20,000 Xiliang people, at this time, the single horse meeting, in case the talk collapses, what should I do? ”

Sun Ce turned his head suddenly. "What's wrong with Hedong? Is there any news from Jiang Ziyi coming back? ”

Guo Jia was surprised and exchanged a look with Zhang Hong. "So far away that he can hear it?"

Zhang Hong's spread his hands and felt incredible. The two of them and Sun Ce were at least ten paces away, and their voices were very low, so it stands to reason that Sun Ce would definitely not hear what they were saying, but he heard it. He glanced at Guo Jia. "Fengxiao, don't add fuel to the fire."

Guo Jia smiled without saying a word, walked to Sun Ce's side, and handed over the secret letter. "Jiang Ziyi used a fast horse to pass the book, and Niu Fu wanted to talk to the general face-to-face."
