After listening to the plan of the cultural recruitment, Sun Ce can confirm 100% that this is the historical literary recruitment, which has no outstanding military exploits, but is stable and good at guarding, and has almost never suffered a major defeat. He is a defensive general, steady and steady, and there are few obvious flaws.

This two-line, three-point line of defense is very solid. Compared with only guarding the military pass, Wenpin's plan has increased by four points. When the Wuguan is not broken, these four points can be used as a material transfer station to reinforce the Wuguan. The Wuguan was breached, and these four points could also control the north and south directions, resist step by step, delay the advance of the enemy army, and buy precious time.

Sieges are always the most time-consuming, and even with the help of stone throwers, the supply of stone is a hassle. What's more, Xu Rong led the Xiliang soldiers, cavalry and archery are strong points, but making complex ordnance such as stone throwers is a shortcoming, as long as these cities are held, Xu Rong will not dare to go straight to Wancheng or Xiangyang without scruples.

Compared with his previous plan to focus on guarding the military pass, this plan is more solid and comprehensive.

"There are now 3,000 people in Wuguan, which is my father's old department, and the combat power is okay. I have already sent some craftsmen to build the equipment for defending the city, but the time is short, and it may not be enough. How many more do you need? ”

Wen Ping thought about it. "General, I want to ask for the right to recruit troops on my own."

"Self-recruitment?"

"Yes, I don't need a single soldier from the general, I just need the general to give me the right to recruit soldiers on my own, and I will definitely be able to find like-minded township parties. Shouwu Pass is for Nanyang, and the locals can hold it the most. ”

Sun thought for a moment and nodded solemnly. "Okay, saving soldiers is like fighting fires, I'll give you two days, you can recruit as many people as you can take away, ordnance, grain and grass, I will allocate all the amount."

Wen Ping looked at Sun Ce in disbelief. It wasn't until Deng Zhan pulled his sleeve that he woke up like a dream, took a step back to his knees, fell to the ground, and said loudly: "Oh." ”

Sun Ce put away the map and said slowly: "Wen Zhongye, there may be some misunderstanding between you and me, but it doesn't matter, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and after a long time, you will know that we are the same people." If you have to say that there is any difference, it is probably that you only want to protect Nanyang, while what I want to protect is the whole world, that's all. ”

Wen Ping raised his head. Sun Ce's eyes were bloodshot and tired, but his eyes were very clear and determined. Wen Ping's heart swelled with excitement. Compared with letting him command the army, Sun Ce's understanding and support for him to protect the countryside moved him even more. Bosom friends are rare, and tonight is the right place.

"If there is such a day, Wen Ping is willing to drive from the general, and he will never give up."

——

Seeing off Wen Ping and Deng Zhan, it was already the middle of the night, Sun Ce was sleepy and tired, but he couldn't rest yet.

Yan Xiang was still waiting for him.

Sun Ce wanted to scold his mother, this job was really not done by people. How comfortable was Yuan Shu when he was the lord, the revolutionary wine was drunk every day, why was I so hard to be the lord, I was injured, and I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night? He looked at Yuan Shu in the spirit bed, and suddenly envied him.

Fools also have the happiness of fools. There is Yuan Shu in front of them, and there will be Adou in the future, they all say they are stupid, but they are enjoying life.

Yan Xiang was also tired. After running around in the generals' camp for most of the day, his saliva was dry, his throat was hoarse, and he quarreled with Yang Hong, but the results were very limited. The generals either perfunctory him, or did not see him, or few people were willing to accept Yuan Shu's orders and serve Sun Ce as the main one, and some even bluntly said that he was disloyal and conspired with Sun Ce to seize Yuan Shu's men and horses.

Facing Sun Ce, Yan Xiang was very ashamed, and he didn't know how to speak.

Sun Ce didn't say anything, and asked people to bring out the prepared meal. Although there was no wine and no meat, it was steaming. Before Yan Xiang could swallow a mouthful of food, tears came out. He has assisted Yuan Shu for so long, and he has eaten a lot of good wine and food, but it is not as heart-warming as this hot meal. Compared with the generals outside the city who ate and drank a lot regardless of Yuan Shu's new funeral, Sun Ce, who has always been despised for his lack of reading, can eat politely, and the gap is really not half a point.

After Yan Xiang finished eating, Sun Ce personally served a cup of hot water. "Sir, after a hard day's work, you have a good rest. I have something to trouble sir tomorrow. ”

Yan Xiang took the hot water and held it in the palm of his hand, and shook his head with a wry smile. "General, I'm not afraid of working hard, but I really can't help the general. My Yan family has a small reputation in Guanzhong, but it is too far from the Hongnong Yang family, and at least half of the generals are protégés of the Yang family. ”

"Sir, don't be discouraged, those people are lustful, even if Mr. has a lotus tongue, they can't listen to it." Sun Ce smiled slightly, whispered a few words in Yan Xiang's ear, and patted Yan Xiang's shoulder to wipe away a few snowflakes. "Please leave this matter to Mr., we must do it well."

Yan Xiang glared at Sun Ce, opened his mouth, and remained motionless until his palms were burned by the cup, then he woke up, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, general, this matter will definitely be done." He slapped his head hard. Confused, I'm so confused. Haha, the future is terrifying, and the ancients were honest and did not deceive me. He turned around and walked to the funeral bed, stood solemnly in front of Yuan Shu's body, and wept: "The wisdom of the lord is beyond the reach of idlers. With Sun Lang like this, my lord, you can rest assured. ”

——

Early the next morning, before dawn, Yuan Quan woke up. She got out of bed cautiously, called the maid to fetch water and washed, and asked about the situation in the front yard while combing her hair. As soon as the maid opened the conversation, she couldn't hold her mouth back, and talked endlessly about what Sun Ce dealt with in the middle of the night, and her eyebrows danced, as if she had seen it herself. Yuan Quan was a little surprised, she made people pay attention to the things in front of her, and reported the situation as soon as she had it, but she didn't let people stare at Sun Ce, how could the maid know so clearly?

"Madame doesn't know, Sun Lang is young and old, not only Captain Lei admires him so much, but even a wise man like Mr. Yan obeys him. Yesterday, when Mr. Yan came back, he still had a sad face, and General Sun later said a few words in his ear, and he was immediately happy, and said to General Yuan that he could rest assured. ”

Yuan Quan was skeptical, but he also added a bit of curiosity. She asked about Huang Yi again, and the maid immediately lowered her face and counted a few words angrily. These maids were all left by Yuan Quan since he was a child, and he never looked down on Huang Yi very much. When Yuan Shu was mourned, Huang Yi did not go to the vigil, hid in his room to drink wine and eat meat, these maids were very indignant, and naturally had nothing good to say about him.

Yuan Quan was very calm. What kind of person Huang Yi is, she is like a mirror in her heart, and she doesn't need the maids to add oil and vinegar. The Yuan and Huang families got married, one was the inevitable marriage between the families, and the other was that Huang Yi wanted to climb the Yuan family, but he was not famous enough to climb Yuan Shao's high branch, so he had to reluctantly marry her. The official has not been done, and it is normal to have grievances.

Thinking of Huang Yi's matter, Yuan Quan felt uneasy again, hurriedly washed up, and quietly came to the front hall. She got up too early, and the slave maid didn't have time to clear the snow in the yard. Yuan Quan walked through the middle door and came to the front hall through the thick snow, Yuan Quan glanced at the room on the west side, but found that the door was wide open, the bedding on the bed was neatly folded, but the room was empty. She was very curious, walked to the bottom of the corridor, and saw that in the snow, Sun Ce was wearing a white single coat, and was practicing martial arts next to the plum tree of Yushu Qiongzhi.

Yuan Shu suddenly became fascinated, and quietly watched Sun Ce finish a set of punches, and stand upright under the plum blossoms.

Between heaven and earth, there is a white one. People are like jade, pleasing to the eye. Plum has a dark fragrance, refreshing people's spleen.
