1272 Modesty and Weakness of Heart

Sun Ce turned over and dismounted in front of the corridor, Chen Wu and Xu Sheng followed Sun Ce to the water pavilion, and the others moved freely on the shore, either practicing riding and archery, or sitting nearby.

Guo Jia was sitting in the corridor on the east side, drinking hot drinks while listening to the report of the military strategists. From the moment he learned that Yuan Shao and Zhang Zeyuan had made peace, the Military Strategy Office entered a state of combat readiness, and those who were ready to go home for the New Year canceled their vacations. The military conspiracy that originally planned to take advantage of the annual leave to reunite with his family scolded Yuan Shao to the point of blood. Although it is possible to send a letter through the post and let the family come to Pingyu to reunite, it is a pity that Yijin cannot return to his hometown after all. Therefore, the military strategists were all holding back the fire in their bellies, racking their brains to pit Yuan Shao, it was best to abolish him, so as not to toss later.

When Sun Ce went upstairs, he heard a military planner reporting to Guo Jia about the geography near Junyi, and he looked so excited that Guo Jia covered his face with a feather fan, so as not to be sprayed with a spit star in his face. Seeing Sun Ce go upstairs, Jun Mou seized the time to mutter, looked at Guo Jia and nodded in agreement, and then left satisfied.

Sun Ce looked at the back of the military strategist and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Guo Jia said while wiping his face with a handkerchief: "He said that Yuan Shao crossed the river and came, tens of thousands of troops have a lot of baggage, there is Wuchaoze near the sour date, and there is a swamp on all sides, there is only one passage to enter, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Yuan Shao may arrange the baggage there, it is recommended to seize the time to survey the terrain." ”

Hearing the word Wuchao, Sun Ce's heart moved. Although Chun Yuqiong has already hung up, the fire of the black nest can still be released.

"What do you think?"

"These boys have flexible minds, dare to think and dare to do, but they have no experience, and they will inevitably take it for granted. No matter how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack, is it safer than sour jujubes? Zhang Chao will not confront Yuan Shao head-on, and it is expected that he will give up the Fengqiu and Sujujube cities on the front of Junyi. ”

As soon as Sun Strategy thought about it, he understood the truth. The geography will not change, but the situation on both sides has changed. Cao Cao was in Yanzhou at the beginning, so when Yuan Shao entered Guandu, the sour dates were still in Cao Cao's hands, and Yuan Shao could only garrison troops outside the city. Now Yanzhou is in the hands of Cao Ang, Chen is in the hands of Zhang Chao, Cao Ang and Zhang Chao will not turn their faces against him and Yuan Shao, and let Junyi face the cities, so that he and Yuan Shao can face the hard bar, which is in their interests, so Yuan Shao will easily take the sour dates and seal the Qiu Zhucheng, and there is no need to put the baggage outside the city at all.

"Can you take the jujube first?"

"Yes, but it doesn't make sense." Guo Jia took out a piece of paper from the side of the case and handed it to Sun Ce. "Our tactic is to defend and counterattack, let Yuan Shaodun troops under Junyi City, hold on for a long time, concentrate the limited field main force in his hands, and wait for a counterattack. Now take the sour date, although you can discuss it with Zhang Chao, but after taking it off, you will inevitably face Yuan Shao's attack. Sujube City is not as strong as Junyi City, and it can't be held to the end, although it can delay Yuan Shao for a little time, but it consumes our limited troops, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Listening to Guo Jia's reasonableness, Sun Ce did not insist anymore, regardless of the actual situation, trying to replicate the success in history, which is tantamount to carving a boat for a sword, and the wise man does not do it. He opened the document and read it for a while, it was sent by Sun Jian. He had returned to Junyi, and fought a battle with Huang Wan according to Sun Ce's plan, Huang Gai was ordered to be defeated, and after two days of confrontation between the two sides, seeing that Huang Wan sent a large army to outflank him, Huang Gai threw down some baggage and ran away. At present, Huang Wan's morale is high, and he returns to the army to attack Dong Yue, Dong Yue's troops are insufficient, and he is defeated and retreated by Huang Wan, and he has given up Huangchi and retreated to Shaanxi County.

Sun Ce said with a smile: "Huang Wan must feel that he is a famous general in the world now. ”

Guo Jia laughed and handed over another paperwork. "Ma Riyan is coming. He didn't go to Nanyang, but went to Yingchuan, saying that he wanted to see his old friend Feng Fang. General, what exactly do you say he wants to see? ”

"Tuntian."

"That's right." Guo Jia shook the feather fan. This may be due to the instruction of the Son of Heaven, or it may be due to the instruction of Yuan Shao, although Ma Riyan is old, after all, he is a scholar, and sometimes he may not be able to tell who he means. If it is Yuan Shao's intention, then our plan is half the battle. Seize Yingchuan, not only can you get Tuntian, but also return to your hometown, fame and fortune, my uncle will definitely not give up. ”

Sun Ce smiled and nodded. It's not just Guo Tu, Yuan Shao will also be moved. Xu County has a good advantage in tuntian, after two years of exploration, now it is gradually getting better, a year to harvest nearly 2 million stones, in addition to its own consumption can also support 50,000 people. Controlling this piece of tuntian, the Ruying system has the strength to compete with the Jizhou system.

"Have you contacted Feng Fang?"

"I have contacted, but I still hope to make the momentum bigger, and ask the general to send someone to urgently order Ma Chao to prohibit them from entering the Tuntian jurisdiction."

Sun Ce smiled dumbly. Guo Jia is really a ghost who plays with people's hearts, this trick is false and real, and it will definitely make Yuan Shao want to stop. He gladly agreed, and immediately put pen to paper. "Who's better to go?"

"Liu Hu is not bad."

Sun Ce comprehended, called Chen Wu, and asked him to go to Liu Hu with the sealed order. Chen Wu went, and Sun Ce told him about meeting Zhuge Liang in the workshop just now. Guo Jia frowned. "And what does the general want to do?"

"He's ambitious, and I don't know if he's going to get his wish." Sun Ce twisted his fingers, also a little hesitant. It must be a temptation to be able to take Zhuge Liang for his own use, but only if Zhuge Liang can be used by him. Character determines fate, although the circumstances are different, but the character is innate, whether Zhuge Liang will become a powerful minister in the future is something he needs to consider.

"It's not a bad thing to be ambitious, it's sad to have no ambition. As for whether he will become Yi Yin or Wang Mang, the decision is not his, but the general. Guo Jia shook the feather fan and said slowly: "General, modesty is a virtue, but being too modest will also affect your self-confidence." You have to have faith in yourself, the spells are all in your hands, what do you have to worry about? ”

Sun Ce raised his eyelids and glanced at Guo Jia, thoughtful. Whether it is modesty or weak-heartedness, he knows best in his own heart, and of course Guo Jia also knows it, but he can't guess the real reason for his weakness.

"One more thing." Guo Jia diverted the topic in time. "Xu Huang has news that Wu Yi has been very active recently, and the number of scouts and meticulous work sent to Shangyong and Fangling has increased significantly, and it seems that there is a possibility of sending troops to Jingxiang to deal with Yuan Shao."

"If Wu Yi has a move, will Cao Cao also have a move against Nanjun?"

"The difference between what is expected is that I don't know if he really wants to take advantage of the fire or bluff. We plan for the worst, Zhou Gongjin should go to Yiling, and the troops around Xiangyang will be increased. At this time, Cao Cao can't be given any illusions, so as not to be self-defeating. ”

Sun Ce pondered for a moment and nodded. "Transfer our ideas to Gong Jin, and he will dispose of the rest. With the help of Xun You and Xin Bi, he was able to get Cao Cao. ”

Guo Jia responded, and said, "What should I do over there in Wuguan?" Huang Zhong went north, Gongjin went south, Nanyang's internal forces were insufficient, if he could not resist the enemy abroad, once he was broken into the hinterland, Nanyang would be dangerous. ”

"It's okay to have Mr. Zigang here." Sun Ce said meaningfully: "Fengxiao, I believe in them, and you have to believe in them." Thousands of miles away, it is impossible to be meticulous and control everything. ”

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and was silent for a moment. "The general is right, my habit is still hard to change."
