Chapter 915: A New Generation Replaces the Old

There used to be a city, but now the city has been abandoned, and only some ruins remain. Some families are scattered around and have a limited population, with only 100 households. In later generations, this form of village was common, but it was not the mainstream in the Han Dynasty. In this era, most of the population returned to the city or suburbs, and was managed in a closed manner in the form of li, which was convenient for the government to control.

Many generals have a lot of opinions about being stationed under the wall and feel that it is not very lucky. Sun Ce is known as the little overlord, and the overlord Xiang Yu was defeated under the wall, broke through, fled to Jiangdong, and killed himself in Wujiang.

Sun Ce didn't mind much. Together with Guo Jia, Lu Su and others, he inspected the ancient battlefield and analyzed and reasoned about the state of the battle at that time. Chinese historiography has a habit of emphasizing personnel over technology, and it is even more brief about war, even if it is a decisive battle such as the Battle of Qixia, it does not describe the process at all. For generals commanding operations, many details are lacking, and it is inevitable that they will fall into the dilemma of talking on paper.

Sun Ce wanted to change this habit, and he would leave notes at the end of each battle, which he could still record in detail the geography, the composition of the forces of both sides, and the process of the battle. After the Battle of Nanyang, he also asked Cai Yong to sort out a battle record, which is now an important textbook for Nanyang Lecture Hall.

The battle of Qixia is a suspicious point in later generations, the biggest problem is where the specific battle is, there are many theories, Sun Ce has read some papers, but he has not visited the field. Now that he is on the battlefield, he looks at the terrain near here, recalls quite a record, and combined with more than two years of actual combat experience, he basically believes that this place is the place where the battle of Qixia took place.

In contrast, Guo Jia and Lu Su have no such doubts. Within the scope of their knowledge, this was the ancient battlefield that had been passed down from generation to generation, and they had never suspected the possibility of other ulcers. Of course, the more important reason is that there are still traces of Xiang Yu's ancient city, which can be seen without archaeological excavations. Later generations finally determined that this is the evidence of the ancient war site, and it is also the ancient city and the relics such as arrow clusters and Chu Qian found inside. In a few hundred years, the city will be buried in the ground, and even the locals will not be able to tell whether it is true or not.

Sun Ce asked Guo Jia to arrange for someone to draw a topographic map as material for the generals' sand table deduction exercises in their spare time.

Lu Su felt very fresh and asked Guo Jia about the relevant situation. Guo Jia and Lu Su can talk very well, both of them do not take the usual path, and they also have similarities in strategic thinking, and they get along quickly in two days, and they are very speculative. Guo Jia told Lu Su about the operation mode of the lecture hall, and also told him that the same is true in the army, although he can't teach regularly, but Sun Ce will gather generals to discuss matters and analyze the battle situation as soon as he has time, and the generals will express their opinions, which is not only a process of learning from each other, but also a silent contest, and those who perform well in the deduction will of course have more opportunities.

Lu Su comprehended. This was a good opportunity for him, the newly attached general.

Seeing Lu Su and Guo Jia talking and laughing, Wu Jing was very uncomfortable. He digressed from the subject. "Bo Fu, when will it be?"

Sun Ce glanced at Wu Jing and asked rhetorically, "What is Uncle's plan?" ”

Wu Jing's eyebrows frowned. "The first month of the year was originally the most leisurely time of the year, but now there is a war, the morale of the soldiers is not high, it is advisable to fight quickly, lest the morale of the river and the thieves have not been pacified, and I can't leave for too long. Moreover, spring plowing is about to take place again, which delays the agricultural season and affects the harvest of one year, and next year will definitely be tight. Now that there is war on all sides, the food supply is very tight. ”

"Uncle is reasonable, but I have to wait for a while β‰Œ Qian is very guarded, and my rash entry into Xuzhou will cause his overreaction. I don't think he will delay for too long, after all, these Hu horses entered Xuzhou, which had a great impact on him. ”

Wu Jing was about to speak, Gu Yong walked over quickly and handed a military report to Sun Ce. Sun Ce took it in his hand and quickly glanced at it, and his heart suddenly burst into ecstasy. Zhou Yu had actually conquered Yuzhang, and the timing was very coincidental, it was Chinese New Year's Eve. That night, he ambushed Zheng Bao and Zhang Duo, which is also a long time, but compared to Zhou Yu, it is a small thing.

"What's wrong?" Wu Jing saw Sun Ce's face with joy, and hurriedly asked.

Sun Ce turned his head to look at Wu Jing, he wanted to tell him the good news, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, he was thinking about what to say, Guo Jia walked over, took the military newspaper and read it, his eyebrows frowned slightly. "Why did you let Liu Miao run away again? That's a curse. Zhou Gongjin was too disheartened. ”

Wu Jing didn't understand what he meant, but Sun Ce understood. He said lightly: "How can there be a general who has won a hundred battles, just run away, and it is a good thing to win the firewood reward." He said to Wu Jing again: "Liu Miao has run away, Lujiang and Jiujiang will be stable for a while, and Uncle can rest assured." ”

Wu Jing listened to it and showed a rare smile. "That's a good thing."

Guo Jia glanced at Sun Ce casually. Sun Ce was silent. He knew what Guo Jia meant. Cheng Pu and Wu Jing have certain abilities, but they are not sufficient compared with top talents such as Zhou Yu and Lu Su. They regarded themselves as Sun Jian's subordinates, had a sense of superiority, and felt that they were qualified to guide their juniors. Although it's just some vagueness and it's not obvious, it always makes people feel alienated.

But he didn't do it for a while.

Guo Jia said: "General, General Zhengdong is attacking Shanyang, and it is going well, once Shanyang is completely occupied and the door is closed, Yuan Tan will have to withdraw." It's just that his troops are limited, his stamina is insufficient, and he needs reinforcements. ”

Sun Ce looked at Guo Jia suspiciously, and Guo Jia blinked quietly. He turned his back to Wu Jing, Wu Jing couldn't see his expression, only Sun Ce could understand it. Sun Ce pondered for a moment: "Last year, there was too much rain, Yanzhou was short of food, and my father was short not only of soldiers, but also of food. It's just that transporting grain is cumbersome and dangerous, and it takes a steady person to do it. ”

Wu Jing immediately said: "Bo Fu, all of you are elite, the marching speed is fast, and my subordinates are very difficult to follow. Why don't I go and reinforce and do what I can, so as not to hold you back. ”

Sun Ce is in the middle of it. Guo Jia said this sentence at this time to let Wu Jing take the initiative to leave and return to his father Sun Jian's subordinates, so as not to see the newcomer unpleasant and affect unity. Sun Jian is progressing smoothly, Zhu Zhi, Huang Gai and others have made meritorious contributions, and Wu Jing also wants to follow to get a piece of the pie. As for the danger, Liu He and others have been forced into Xuzhou by him, so there is no danger at all.

But he couldn't show it, and he had to pretend to be very unhappy. "Uncle, if your words reach my mother's ears, it will change its taste, as if I am reluctant to give it to you."

Wu Jing laughed and waved his hand again and again. "You're too careful, I didn't mean that. I have been with your father for many years, and I want to reinforce him, of course, I am more suitable. ”

"That's just as well." Sun Ce nodded very "reluctantly". "In this way, you go to Pengcheng first, let Tao Ying provide food, we will help him fight, he can't not give no benefit at all. I'll get him ready with the food and the boat, and you can get there and get going. ”

Wu Jing agreed, and went back to the camp to arrange it.

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and chuckled. "General, Shanyang Taishou or Ren Chengxiang, it is better to pick any one than Jiujiang Taishou, and the general needs to rearrange a Jiujiang Taishou."

Sun Ce understood and nodded silently.
