Sun Ce had plum fruit in his mouth and forgot to chew it for a while. He looked at Guo Jia, Guo Jia smiled at the corner of his mouth, chewed the plum fruit slowly, spit out a plum kernel from time to time, smiled and looked relaxed, as if he had said an insignificant gossip.

Sun Ce came back to his senses and spit out the unfinished plum fruit. "Is the message accurate?"

"It's basically accurate, and it's very probable. There is Zhang to help, and Hanzhong has fallen into the hands of the imperial court. But Hanzhong is too small, and the imperial court can only have more money and grain if it controls Yizhou in its hands, and ......" Guo Jia threw a plum fruit into his mouth. "The general's strength is expanding too fast, and the imperial court can't help but be on guard, and seizing Yizhou is undoubtedly a clever move."

Sun Ce laughed twice, but it was very bitter. If you don't play cards according to the routine, you can't let me win Jiangdong smoothly? He pondered, picked up a plum fruit again, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly. The plum fruit is slightly sour and sweet, full of mouth, the more you chew, the more you taste, just like the change of the situation, the more you think about it, the more you feel dangerous, but there is endless fun.

Sun Ce glanced at Guo Jia, remembered Guo Jia's original strategy, and his mood gradually calmed down. What is there to worry about, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. The current situation has not changed beyond Guo Jia's previous analysis, and the regret is only that he still has the entire Jingzhou. However, it was not a matter of a day or two for Cao Cao to control Yizhou, and by the time he took control of Yizhou, Zhou Yu would have already taken Jingzhou.

It's just that the lord of Yizhou has been replaced by Cao Cao, and it is even more difficult to attack Yizhou from Jingzhou. However, the problem is not too big, with Zhou Yu guarding Jingzhou, it is not so easy for Cao Cao to go east.

Yuan Tan was in Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao sent Yuan Xi to take Qingzhou, even if Tian Kai could support it for a while, it wouldn't last long. Next up is Xuzhou. The old old boy Tao Qian faced the Yuan brothers and joined forces, but he didn't know how many days he could carry it. He is old, maybe he will hang up at any time, it seems that he must be ready to take over Xuzhou, otherwise Yuzhou will not be able to hold it. With such a large granary, you can't give it up and let Yuan Shao pick it up. Even if you want to retreat, you have to break it and then retreat.

The top priority at the moment is to take Yuzhang and connect Jingzhou and Yangzhou together, and then we can close the door, reject the enemy from abroad, and develop with peace of mind.

Sun Ce leaned on the table, tilted his head, let his hair fall apart, and picked up Guo Jia's feather fan to fan the wind. "Cao Cao's entry into Yizhou, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as grabbing the position, maybe it also means forcing me to fight Yuan Shao as soon as possible. Driving away the wolf and devouring the tiger, this trick is used smartly. ”

Guo Jia sneered, a little disdainful. "It's not necessarily smart, but it's a little timid. When two tigers fight, there will be an injury, and at this time, even if you don't plan to profit from it, you should not stay out of the matter and give up the power of checks and balances. Once the general and Yuan Shao were divided, how could the winner stop in Kanto? Seize Yizhou, are you waiting for refuge? General, between this advance and retreat, there is a lot of article. ”

Sun Ce thought for a moment and couldn't help laughing. He understood what Guo Jia meant. The Kwantung War is imminent, and the imperial court does not want to take advantage of the opportunity, but sends people to seize Yizhou, which seems to be a clever plan to avoid the real and make up for nothing, but from a psychological point of view, it is actually afraid to participate in the competition, which is what Guo Jia said about cowardice. This cowardice is not pretended to be seen, but inadvertently revealed from the heart. Of course, people like Guo Jia who are good at taking risks can't look down on it.

"Contact Zhou Gongjin to see how he is ready." Sun Ce closed his eyes. "If possible, before the autumn harvest, take Yuzhang."

Guo Jia nodded. "I'm waiting for news from Mr. Zigang, and it is estimated that it will be there in three or five days." He looked up at the outside of the tent. "It's so annoying that it's raining, and people are getting moldy."

"The rainy season has just begun, so it's early, at least until the end of summer, so be patient. If you're really not used to it, let's go back to Pingyu first. ”

"So much rain?" Guo Jia pursed his lips in surprise and shook his head again. "I don't go to Pingyu, I can't talk to Zhang Zibu."

Sun Ce smiled. Zhang Zhao is too serious, and there are really not many people who can talk to him. He thought about it, and suddenly he was a little distracted.

It's time for Yin Jiao to give birth, right?

——

Pingyu, Zhendong General's Mansion.

Mrs. Wu sat in the hall and kept turning her head to look at the door of the side courtyard. Sun Shanghua comforted: "Mother, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

Mrs. Wu glanced at her and said angrily: "What do you know, you haven't given birth." ”

Sun Shanghua smiled: "Look at you, why are you talking about me again?" I haven't given birth, but seeing that you have given birth, don't worry, it's convenient for the women of our Sun family to give birth, and it will be fine. ”

Mrs. Wu sighed, folded her hands, and prayed silently. Yin Jiao's production this time was not very smooth, it was originally half a month later than expected, and it was easy to give birth, and her stomach hurt for two days, but she never gave birth, and now she doesn't even have the strength to scream. Mrs. Wu was very worried, not only for Yin Jiao, but also for the child in her belly. This is Sun Ce's first child, and if it doesn't go well, it's not a good sign.

But Sun Shanghua was right, she gave birth to five, and Ding gave birth to three, all of which went very well. The women of the Sun family have not had a difficult birth when they give birth. Yin Ji is in good health, but she has never given birth before, so it should only be a temporary difficulty.

At this time, a heart-rending scream suddenly came from the backyard. Mrs. Wu suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Sun Shangying uneasily. Sun Shangying was also a little panicked, got up and said, "Mother, I'll take a look." ”

"Can't go!" Mrs. Wu stretched out her hand and grabbed Sun Shanghua and shook her head again and again. "When a woman is about to give birth, she can't see outsiders except for her mother, otherwise it is unlucky. If you go, it will not be right. This is her life, whether she can break through or not depends on herself. ”

Sun Shanghua listened to the scream, his face turned pale, his two fists were clenched tightly, and his nails pierced into his palms. She was still young when she married Hongzi, and she didn't have a round house in time, and now she has gathered less and left more, so she has never been pregnant. Hearing Yin Ji screaming so fiercely, she was scared for a while when she thought that she might encounter this situation in the future.

At this moment, Yin Ji's screams stopped abruptly. Mother and daughter looked at each other. Just when they were nervous, a servant girl ran from the side yard, her face full of joy. "Mrs. Hexi, Mrs. Hexi, Mrs. Yin gave birth to a big fat boy, and Mrs. has an eldest grandson."

Mrs. Wu let out a long breath and hurriedly asked, "How is Mrs. Yin?" ”

"Madame, don't worry, mother and son are safe." The handmaid smiled and held out her hand. Mrs. Wu glanced at the maidservant and motioned to Sun Shanghua to take the prepared reward. The maidservant took it in her hand, shook it, and stretched out her hand again. "Madam, you can get a big reward for such a great event. I have one more good news for you. ”

"What's the good news?"

"Mrs. Yin said that she just couldn't give birth, and she was in pain to death, and suddenly dreamed of the young general, saying that the young general won the battle, rushed back from Huiji, and then gave birth, and this child looks exactly like General Sun, very strong, and does not cry, and laughs when he is born, as if he is happy for the young general to win the battle."

Mrs. Wu will be suspicious, not knowing whether this is auspicious or evil. At this moment, Hongzi walked in from outside, walked in front of Mrs. Wu, and bowed his hand to Sun Shanghua, and said with a smile: "Mother, madam, good news, I just received the military letter, and Bo Fu has taken the meeting." ”
