Sun Ce looked at Guo Jia and did not immediately express his position. He also wanted to take Changyi, and he had a strong desire, not only to save face for Sun Jian, nor only to compensate for the losses in Xuzhou, but to push the defense line north. If the Dingtao, Changyi, Rencheng, and Lu defense lines he conceived can be realized, he will have more room for maneuver, but there will be fewer points to defend, and his strategic advantage will be very obvious if he annexes Qingzhou in the future.

But he can't base his hope of achieving this goal on the basis of the other party's mistakes, especially when Yuan Tan suffered a loss and immediately retreated and disengaged, so that all his follow-up methods were in vain.

"Fengxiao, we are in a hurry to take Shanyang, is it also a flaw?"

"Of course." Guo Jia didn't think about it, and the corners of his mouth provoked a little curvature, making him look a little more evil. "But now that the general is aware, this is not a flaw. On the contrary, we can use this flaw that is not a flaw to induce the other person to make a mistake. ”

Sun Ce savored Guo Jia's words, he could understand them, but he didn't fully understand them. He thinks that he is not ignorant of human feelings, but compared with a ghost like Guo Jia, he still lacks some heat.

What's more, after all, he is not a person in this era and this circle, and he may not be able to accurately grasp their psychology like Guo Jia.

Guo Jia's words changed. "What is the general's impression of Simbi?"

"Simbi?" Sun Ce was surprised. He originally thought that Guo Jia's target was Yuan Tan. "Achievement? Light lintel? Leaving a name in history? ”

Guo Jia laughed silently, his eyes lit up, and his face was full of confidence. He shook his feather fan. "The general knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other."

Sun Ce didn't think it was angry, but sat back and waited for Guo Jia's analysis with great interest.

"Yang Zhai Xin's family is a newly rising wealthy family, with a certain strength, but it is not deeply rooted in Shilin, not only can it not be compared with my Guo family, even Han Zhong and Chen Xun are not comparable to them, Xin Ping and Xin Bi are the most promising heroes of the Xin family in recent generations, Xin Bi is especially great, he can be as famous as Chen Changwen, Du Zixu, and Zhao Boran, and beat Chen Changwen to become the head of the four, his talent is beyond doubt."

Sun Ce's eyebrows moved slightly, and he nodded involuntarily. Among these four people, Chen Qun is the most famous in later generations, first, because the Chen family has a deep foundation, starting from Chen Yu, the Chen family is one of the few important people in Yingchuan celebrities; The second is that there is no detour in the Chen family, Chen Ji Shihan, the official to the great Honglu, Chen Qun Shiwei, the official to the Sikong, Yingchuan Chen family has successfully become a first-class family, and it is logical to leave a name in history. In contrast, Sindhu Zhao, who is tied to Chen Qun, is far inferior, the foundation is not deep enough, and the development is not smooth, so there are not many descendants who know about them, and even fewer know that they were once as famous as Chen Qun.

In fact, the reputation of these three people is not much weaker than Chen Qun, and Xin Bi is even more in front of Chen Qun.

Such a person's expectations for himself must be very high, not just the usual saying meritorious service, light lintel, and leaving a name in history, he wants more, he wants to make great contributions, establish great causes, and become a family, not only to leave a name in history, but also to leave a big name, at least a category of founding heroes, and even may be the level of Yuntai 28 generals.

But his luck was not good, in real history, he followed Yuan Shao first, then Yuan Tan, and after the fall of the Yuan family, he followed Cao Cao. As a general, his career can not be smooth, when Cao Cao was alive, he was idle for a long time, until the last years of Jian'an Cao Pi and Cao Zhi contended, Xin Bi made the right choice - to support Cao Pi and succeed, so that he had the opportunity to re-participate in the military, and since then he has embarked on a smooth road, and he is promoted and knighted, and he is trusted by Cao Pi and Cao Rui.

Now, his situation is not much better, he escorted Yuan Yao back to Runan to seize power, and he was beaten by Yuan Quan at the beginning of getting out of the car, and he became a lost dog before he had a chance to show his skills. Now assisting Yuan Tan to fight for Yanzhou, Yuan Tan was defeated, and he was seriously injured. If he can't turn defeat into victory, Yuan Tan's position as a son-in-law will not be guaranteed, and his career will probably die halfway.

After Sun Ce had almost digested it, Guo Jia continued: "But now, Du Zixu and Zhao Boran have become the talents that the general relies on, but he Xinbi was defeated by the general, how can Yuan Tan still believe him?" If he can't prove himself, he will immediately be replaced by someone else. ”

"No, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Yuan Tan relies so heavily on Xin Bi, how can he abandon him because of a defeat?"

Guo Jia smiled happily. "Normally, it is indeed not like this, Yuan Tan still has the capacity to accommodate people. But this is not a simple victory or defeat, but Yuan Tan's future. Just as Changyi is not a simple city, but also Yanzhou Prefecture. Yuan Tan is the assassin of Yanzhou, if he can't even defend Changyi, how can he prove that he is a qualified heir? One of the reasons why he is now able to sit firmly in the position of heir is that he defeated the general the year before last. Now that he has been severely damaged by the general, his reputation is in jeopardy, and if he loses Changyi again, he will go to the other extreme and lose his reputation. ”

Sun Ce suddenly realized. Yuan Tan is different from him. Behind Yuan Tan stood a world-famous father, who wanted to deprive him of his inheritance, so he couldn't take a wrong step, he couldn't afford to lose. If Simbi can't help him win, he can only choose someone else who can help him win.

"Who can take the place of Simbi? Chen Qun? ”

"No, Chen Gong."

"Chen Gong?" Sun Ce laughed, feeling that Guo Jia had lost his eyes this time. Chen Gong has a plan, but he is Cao Ang's person, how can he replace Xin Bi and become Yuan Tan's henchman. And this person ...... It seems to be too far from Simbi.

"Under Yuan Tan, in terms of military and political talents, the only one who can be compared with Xin Bi is Chen Gong. The general thought that Xin Bi was injured, who was giving advice to Yuan Tan and retreating as advance? ”

"You mean that Yuan Tan's plan to retreat was not suggested by Xin Bi, but by Chen Gong?"

"That's right."

"Is there any evidence? Although Sinbi was injured, he was not even able to speak. Chen Gong was Cao Ang's advisor, how could he give advice for Yuan Tan? ”

"The evidence is obvious, it's just that the general didn't pay attention." Guo Jia put away his smile and became a little more stern, obviously dissatisfied with Sun Ce's negligence. This plan is relatively conservative for Yuan Tan, and it is not the best choice, and only Cao Ang can really benefit from it. Except for Chen Gong, no one would make such a suggestion. If Simbi could still speak, he would never agree. ”

Sun Ce thought about it carefully and couldn't help but pat his forehead. That's right, this plan is indeed the most beneficial for Cao Ang. Yuan Tan's retreat to Changyi is tantamount to ceding the territory south of Surabaya, which is undoubtedly the damaged side. However, Cao Ang turned to Gaoping and did not go with Yuan Tan, obviously he had another task, and this task was not only Gaoping, but also the key point of Yanzhou's border with Yuzhou and Xuzhou, which was very important. Cao Ang is undoubtedly the beneficiary of such an opportunity. Except for Chen Gong, who would make such a suggestion?

"So, once Simbi recovers from his injuries, he will inevitably oppose this plan?"

Whether it was for himself or for Yuan Tan, he would not accept this plan. He will do his best to convince Yuan Tan to fight back, and at the same time prove that Chen Gong cannot replace him. If the general showed his flaws at this time, how could he let it go? The general knows his flaw, so this is not a flaw. But Simbi didn't know that this was his flaw, but would become his flaw. ”

Sun Ce laughed, and then Guo Jia's words continued. "Even if he knew it was his flaw, he would gamble that I didn't know his flaw."

Guo Jia laughed loudly. "Yes, because he has no choice."
