Sun Ce opened the military newspaper and was a little surprised when he saw the potter's release of the Donghai family that had been arrested before.

Release people, what does this mean? Has it been achieved, or is it a compromise? Considering Tao Qian's death, it should be more likely to be the latter. These people were arrested by him and the pottery merchant at the beginning, and Tao Qian has been detaining them and not killing them, so that the Donghai family does not dare to blatantly associate with Liu He, and whoever comes to him will kill him. This method does not cure the root cause, but it treats the symptoms, as evidenced by Liu He's failure to win the East China Sea for nearly a year.

Tao Qian has a set, but Tao Qian is dead now, and he also knows what kind of goods his two sons are, and it is estimated that they are not the opponents of the Donghai family, and it just so happens that Liu He was mobilized by Yuan Shao in Xuzhou, and it is also a good time to make peace with the Donghai family. This old old boy can, and he still plays such a hand when he is dying. It's a pity that the potter and Tao Ying are not heroes, although after his edification, they have grown a little, but they are only middle talents. It was too difficult to rely on their brothers to hold Xuzhou, and in history, Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei before his death, which was both a helpless move and a wise move.

Sun Ce sat for a while, the tea he prepared was cold, and Guo Jiacai hurried over, smiling and windy under his feet. Sun Ce teased: "So happy, picking up the treasure? ”

"It's not a pick-up, but it's a treasure." Guo Jia gave a thumbs up. "General, you're not wrong." As he spoke, he gave Sun Ce a look. Sun Ce understood and thought for a moment. "Zhuge Liang?"

"That's right, he's been in Pingyu for a few days, and he's wandering around. I went to the wood school, happened to meet me, and chatted a few words. ”

Sun Ce nodded with satisfaction, as long as Zhuge Liang came to Pingyu, there would be no need to worry about this matter anymore, let it be. It would be better if he was willing to stay, but it didn't matter if he really didn't. After all, a person's strength is limited, and without the blessing of Jingxiang Group, even if he goes to Yizhou to join Cao Cao now, he will not be able to turn the sky upside down. What's more, Cao Cao is not Liu Bei, it is unlikely to give him the opportunity to monopolize power, and it will be heaven to become a general in all aspects.

Sun Ce asked people to serve hot tea again, and took this opportunity to read the military newspaper again. After reading it, he gently put the military newspaper back on the table, smacking his lips, his eyes flashing. "Tao Qianxin is mourning, and he can't use troops against Xuzhou for at least a year. Ling Zun was a colleague with Tao Qian back then, and he had to fund one or two to protect the son of the deceased. However, Tao Qian's deathbed arrangements are very detailed, and it seems that he wants to have both sides. ”

Sun Ce's eyes rolled, and he understood what Guo Jia meant. Guo Jia was further than he imagined, Tao Qian and the Donghai family eased their cheeks, and they should have the meaning of throwing stones to Yuan Shao through Liu He to ask for directions. If this speculation is true, then Langya and Donghai, which are close to Qingzhou, may fall into the hands of Yuan Xi. Xiapi and Guangling will be handed over to Tao Ying and thrown to themselves. Xuzhou is divided into two, which seems fair, but it is actually very unfavorable to itself. The first is that Xiapi and Guangling are not in danger to defend, and the second is that this place was occupied by Liu He, and the family that supported Liu He was sanctioned by him, and he has not been able to leave the country to do business until now, and has lost a lot of money. Even if Tao Ying is willing to throw himself into himself, these families will also interfere from the shadows.

There are also those families who escaped from Yuzhou.

In other words, Xiapi and Guangling can get land, but they can't win people, and this land is not valuable, compared to Yuan Xi, he didn't take any advantage. On the contrary, Donghai and Langya fell into the hands of Yuan Xi, which was a huge blow to his plan to take Qingzhou. Without Tao Qian's response, Tian Kai would not be able to support it for long, and once Qingzhou fell into the hands of Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi would push the battle line to the East China Sea. The right wing of Yuzhou is in danger.

What's even worse is that when Qingzhou, Langya, and Donghai fall into the hands of Yuan Xi, the communication line that he has spent a lot of effort to build will also be interrupted, and the news delay in Youzhou will be more serious in the future, beyond the reach of the whip. Maybe the dust has settled over there, and I haven't heard from it yet.

Standing in front of the map and thinking for a while, Sun Ce made a decision. "Seize Qingzhou immediately, you can't let Yuan Xi go south so easily."

Zhang Cheng immediately reminded. "The epidemic in Yuzhou is not over yet, so it is not appropriate to move lightly."

Sun Ce looked at Guo Jia. Guo Jia smiled: "Just give this opportunity to Shen Zizheng." The general can send someone to Xuzhou to contact Tao Ying, and if the situation is as we expected, then immediately inform Shen Zizheng and ask him to mobilize men and horses and rush to Quxian by land to prepare to cross the sea and fight. ”

Sun Ce nodded and turned to Zhang Cheng. "Zhong Hei, you are going to go to Xuzhou, mourn, and contact Tao Ying."

Zhang Cheng bowed and promised.

Sun Ce immediately asked people to call Pang Tong again, and asked him to go back to clean up and prepare to rush to Qu'a to assist Shen You in making preparations before the battle. Commander Pang commanded, and Sun Ce said to him earnestly: "Shiyuan, this farewell, you may not be able to meet for a few years, so you can only pass on the book to Hongyan." However, you followed me the earliest, and what I wanted to do, you should know very well in your heart. Remember, don't rush, take your time. ”

Pang Tong bowed his hand. "Don't worry, general, I will live up to the general's expectations. Change customs and restore morale. ”

Sun Ce nodded, shook his head again, and pointed at Pang Tong's heart. "I don't need to worry, not only about my career, but also about yours. Don't be greedy, you are only sixteen years old, and you are only seventeen after the New Year, you are already a teenager and famous, if you are still bent on surpassing everyone, how can you embarrass others? ”

Pang Tong smiled embarrassedly and glanced at Guo Jia secretly. "General, I see."

"Bring this sentence to Shen You as well. For the first time, it may not be a good thing to be perfect, don't be afraid of wrestling, and fall a few more times to grow strong. ”

Pang Tong couldn't help but smile and bowed again. "Whoa."

Sun Ce asked Guo Jia to arrange for the military planners to discuss the details of the plan to see if there was a better way or obvious loopholes. Guo Jia knew how important this matter was, so he personally selected a few experienced military strategists, and worked with Pang Tong and Zhang Cheng for half the night, carefully analyzed various possibilities, and made plans respectively. At present, we cannot make a specific tactical plan, and we can only make a rough plan in terms of strategy.

On the morning of the next day, the people sent by Tao Ying to report the funeral rushed to Pingyu and brought Tao Ying's handwritten letter, which confirmed the speculation of Sun Ce and others. Sun Ce no longer hesitated, and issued several orders in succession, so that Tai Shici and Lu Su were ready to go on the expedition. When Shen You went north, Lu Su wanted to go with Shen You and attack Qingzhou by sea. Tai Shici had to do a good job of going north from Rencheng, attacking Jinan and the plains, blocking possible reinforcements, and cooperating with Shen You.

The arrangements were made, and Zhang Cheng and Pang Tong set off at the same time.

At noon that day, Jiang Gan rushed to Pingyu with Gongsun Xu. After a brief hustle, Sun Ce informed Gongsun Xu of the latest situation, and made it clear that he wanted Qingzhou, hoping that Gongsun Xu could write a letter to Gongsun Zhan, so that Gongsun Chan could understand the current situation and cooperate.

Hearing that Liu He was going back to Youzhou, Gongsun Xu was already in a mess, and then heard that Tao Qian might send Langya and Donghai to Yuan Xi, he knew that Qingzhou would definitely not be able to keep it, so he immediately agreed to Sun Ce's request and wrote a personal letter. After showing Sun Ce, Sun Ce ordered someone to send it to Qingzhou as quickly as possible, and at the same time conveyed the relevant news to Tian Kai, so that he could prepare for the situation and not be caught off guard by Yuan Xi.

Early in the morning of the third day, Cao Ang left Pingyu and rushed back to Yanzhou. Sun Ce put down the affairs in his hand and rushed outside the city to see off Cao Ang.
