Just when Qin Song racked his brains to appease Sun Jian, Guo Jia and Sun Ce also had a fierce argument.

Before Liu He and the others entered Runan, Sun Ce received the news. Guo Jia arranged a detailed work in Jizhou, and as soon as those Wuhuan cavalry appeared, they realized that the situation was not right, and immediately notified their companions in Yanzhou to pay attention and strengthen surveillance. The Wuhuan cavalry crossed the Yellow River, entered Dongjun, and moved forward along the official road, and the fine work in Yanzhou sent the news to Chaisang. It's just that at that time, they didn't expect that these cavalry would go deep into Runan, which Guo Jia himself deduced.

After listening to Guo Jia's inference, Sun Ce knew that his trouble was coming.

Guo Jia said at the beginning that Yuzhou has no geographical advantages, and Suishui and Huaishui are not the Yangtze River, and their role is limited. The Yellow River freezes in winter, sometimes breaks its flow, and it can't stop the enemy from the north. The biggest problem is also that Runan is the base camp of the party, and most of them support Yuan Shao. For Sun Ce, these Runan families are difficult to fight for, kill, change immediately, don't kill, sooner or later.

The current situation, as Guo Jia expected, is not at all happy. Therefore, Guo Jia's suggestion is also very clear, keep Suiyang, Pingyu and other important towns, and let these Hu Qi go to make trouble. The more fierce the trouble, the longer the trouble, the more unfavorable it will be to Yuan Shao. First, the appearance of Wuhuan Hu Qi is different from that of the Central Plains, even if they wear Han army uniforms, it is difficult to hide, and using Hu people to kill the people of this county is by no means a wise choice for Yuan Shao; Second, it is not easy to support the cavalry, and sooner or later the Runan family will be overwhelmed; The third is that Sun Ce really has no good means to face these cavalry, so he can only brake quietly.

Yuzhou was originally a strategic buffer zone, which was determined by the geography of Yuzhou. Now that Sun Ce is developing rapidly, Yuan Shao has been forced to rush south before he has taken Youzhou, and he can't go all out, so he can only send some cavalry into the country to harass him, which is much better than the imagined situation. Taking advantage of this opportunity to let the people of Yuzhou migrate to Tuntian in the south of the Yangtze River and strengthen the strength of Wuhui, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for Sun Ce, and it is even a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Sun Ce admits that Guo Jia's suggestion is practical, but he is very worried about his father Sun Jian. Sun Jian is a brave and ruthless character, he has been enduring it before, and suddenly suffered such a big loss, no one dares to guarantee whether he can endure it. Even with Hongzi and Qin Song by his side, Sun Ce was not at ease. No matter how reasonable the analysis is, if he doesn't listen, what can you do?

As he is now. Guo Jia's suggestion is very reasonable, but he is not surnamed Sun, and he may hope that Sun Jian will die in battle as soon as possible, so that he can inherit the family business and monopolize the power, and have another name for revenge.

Sun Ce couldn't be so cold-blooded, he wanted to give up Yuzhang for the time being and rush to help Runan.

Guo Jia strongly disagreed. The purpose of Yuan Shao's cavalry attack on Runan was by no means to capture Runan, but to force Sun Ce to return to Runan to relieve the pressure on Liu Xuan. Sun Ce did this, which was exactly what Yuan Shao wanted. When he arrived at Runan, the cavalry might have withdrawn. Even if he doesn't withdraw, Sun Ce's cavalry is limited, and he can't catch up, he is tired of running for his life, and if he is not careful, he may be attacked by the cavalry, and Yuan Shaoke will make a lot of money.

"So I'm just looking at it?" Sun Ce was also anxious. "My family is all in peace."

"General, the cavalry can't attack the city, and Pingyu is very safe." Guo Jia persuaded bitterly: "The way of using soldiers is to cause people but not people." This is obviously Yuan Shao's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, how can you be fooled by him? Take Yuzhang, Gongjin can take Jingnan with peace of mind, and you can calmly recover Runan. If you don't get on Yuzhang, you can't go all out, the gains and losses are very clear. ”

Sun Ce couldn't refute Guo Jia, so he had to turn to Zhou Yu. "Gong Jin, I will leave the men and horses to you, are you sure to take Chaisang?"

When Sun Ce and Guo Jia were arguing, he didn't speak, and Xun You remained silent. Seeing Sun Ce ask his opinion, Zhou Yu shook his body and said slowly: "Yu Qing, what Bo Fu said is reasonable. As a son of man, filial piety comes first, and interests come second. In reason, what Feng Xiao said is very appropriate. Runan is just a small trouble, and there is no big worry. ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense, you haven't said anything." Sun Ce said angrily: "I'll ask you, can you win Yuzhang alone." ”

"Bo Fu, I don't approve of you only taking your personal guards to gallop to aid Runan." Zhou Yu raised his head and looked directly at Sun Ce. He broke Sun Ce's plan in one word, and made it clear that he was against it. "Chaisang is nearly a thousand miles away from Runan, and it is unheard of to rush thousands of miles to help."

Sun Ce frowned, looked at Xun You, and thought about it. He actually knew that this decision was irrational, but anyone with a little brain would not approve of it, and with Xun You's IQ, it was impossible for him to support his suggestion.

He and Xun You have not known each other for a long time, and this meeting in Chaisang is the first meeting. After getting along for a few days, Xun You didn't say a few words, most of the time he just listened. But he could see that Zhou Yu had a lot of opinions from Xun You, at least he participated in Xun You's suggestions. Zhou Yu trusts Xun Yu very much, and Xun You is also very dedicated to Zhou Yu, and even deliberately avoids contact with him.

The gentleman doesn't want to win people's favor, and he doesn't want to leave Zhou Yu with the intention of wanting to win people's hearts, so he has never had contact with Xun Yu in private.

Seeing Sun Ce's entangled expression, Zhou Yu laughed and said to Xun You: "Gongda, Bo Fu's concern is chaotic, it is difficult to decide for a while, and you need to synthesize the suggestions of many people, you might as well say your opinion for Bo Fu to participate." ”

Seeing this, Xun Yu bowed slightly. "In that case, I'll give you my advice. General Zhou is right, and General Sun is from the bottom of his heart, and there is no doubt about it. Yu Li, Feng Xiao said it very thoroughly, and there is no doubt about it. ”

Sun Ce secretly rolled his eyes. I know that what you say is also in vain.

However, since Yuan Shao's purpose was to force General Sun to rush to the aid of Runan and relieve the siege of Yuzhang, if General Sun did not relieve the siege of Yuzhang, Yuan Shao would definitely refuse to give up and would most likely increase his troops. At that time, the general will not fight and will not fight, and will eventually break the siege and rush to Runan. Instead of this, it is better to go now, but to be more calm, and dispel the possibility of Yuan Shao's desperate bet. ”

When Sun Ce heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he already understood what Xun Yu meant. He looked at Guo Jia. Guo Jia was silent in thought, shook the feather fan in his hand twice, and nodded. "Gongda's words are reasonable. There is a distinction between virtual and real soldiers, and improper action does not mean that it cannot be done, we can use nothing to have, replace reality with virtuality, and do a good job of layout, in case Yuan Shaogou jumps off the wall in a hurry. Gongda, that's what you mean, right? ”

Xun Yu drooped his eyelids and was silent. It's not right, it's not wrong. Seeing this, Guo Jia laughed and pointed at Xun Yu with a feather fan. "You, you're just not happy." Look at Zhou Yu again. "You're like-minded, no wonder you make sense."

Zhou Yu retorted with a smile: "You and Bo Fu are natural monarchs, and I can't wait for them." ”

Guo Jiamei danced, laughed, and was quite complacent. He looked at Xun You. "Gongda, although you have not known the general for a long time, the general respects you very much. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have let you eat and drink for so long in Wancheng Wood and Grass Hall. Today's situation is related to the gains and losses of the Central Plains, and it is not for one person to decide. Why don't you and I join forces to plan a game for the general, reject Yuan Shao in Hebei, and take Yuzhang in Jiangnan, how about it? ”

Xun You's eyes flashed, he thought for a while, and said lightly: "Since Fengxiao has such a Yaxing, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”
