Sun Ce leaned on the newly installed glazed window, looking at the tender green of the lakeshore, and was distracted for a while. The breeze is blowing slowly, the surface of the lake is sparkling, several small boats are drifting in the lake, and the faint ethereal singing is heard in the wind. Lu Yi, who was on duty, stood quietly aside, motionless as a pine. After the New Year, he was thirteen years old, his body had a big swelling, and he already looked like a teenager. In the first month, when he returned to Wu County to visit relatives, Lu Kang gave him a crown salute, took the word Boyan, and had high expectations for him.

Footsteps sounded, brisk and hurried, Sun Ce withdrew his gaze and looked at the staircase. Zhuge Liang is a strict person, he rarely walks so quickly, and even a little flustered. It seems that something big has happened, but I don't know if it's the Qingzhou battlefield or the Yingchuan battlefield.

The two battlefields were very tense, Shen You and others went into battle for the first time, Huang Zhong was outnumbered, and their opponents were not ordinary people, one was Yan Liang, who was later called the head of the four court pillars in Hebei, and the other was the first general in Hebei, Lu Yi.

Zhuge Liang walked quickly in front of Sun Ce, his breath was a little anxious. "General."

Sun Ce raised his eyelids and glanced at him. "What's the matter?"

"Qingzhou Battle Report." Zhuge Liang said and handed over the battle report. There is a lot of content in the battle report, a thick stack, with a piece of paper on it, and a summary is written, which is Zhuge Liang's handwriting. Zhuge Liang's calligraphy is very good, like others, neat and concise, nothing fancy, but it makes people feel very comfortable. Sun Ce twisted his fingers, took it, and picked up the summary first.

Unconsciously, his heart was beating a little fast. Arranging for Shen You to go on the expedition was a decision he had considered for a long time, not only to compete for Qingzhou, but also to balance the factions. The strength of the Jingzhou and Yuzhou departments is already considerable, and if the Yangzhou system is not supported as soon as possible, the morale of the Jiangdong soldiers will be affected, and his foundation will be unstable.

But Shen You has no combat experience, and the generals under his command Ling Cao, Zhang Yun and others are the same, Yuan Xi is just a middle talent, Yan Liang is a fierce general, whether Shen You and others can defeat him, in fact, many people have doubts, including Sun Ce himself. Although the Jiangdong Army has obvious advantages in terms of equipment and training, the experience of the generals in the battle between the two armies is still very important. Now that the battle report is coming, he doesn't know whether the result is as he expected. If Shen You loses, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Yangzhou department, and it will also have an immeasurable impact on his strategic layout.

Sun Ce calmed down and picked up the summary.

The summary is very simple: Shen You led his troops to repel Yan Liang, rescued Tian Kai, beheaded more than 2,000, Zhang Yun was killed, and nearly half of his troops were lost.

"Zhang Yun is dead?" Sun Ce's brows furrowed.

"Captain Zhang fought Yan Liang head-on, dragged Yan Liang back, and created an opportunity for General Shen to repel Yan Liang."

Sun Ce didn't say a word, and made two tuna to calm himself. The general inevitably died in battle, and although it was a pity that Zhang Yun died in battle, Shen You won the battle after all, not only stabilizing Qingzhou, but also proving that these Jiangdong troops were available. For the first time, to achieve such a record, I believe that no one can say anything. He opened the military newspaper and read it carefully. The military newspaper was written by Pang Tong and was accompanied by a detailed operational map. Sun Ce spread the map aside, and compared the map while reading the military report, analyzing the gains and losses. In the future, this military newspaper will become a teaching material for the lecture hall, and Pang Tong wrote it in the style of compiling a textbook, from geography to the pre-war situation, from the advantages and disadvantages of both sides to the pre-war analysis, and it was comprehensive, thorough, and extremely organized.

After reading it, Sun Ce put down the battle report, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. "Kong Ming, I heard that Yan Liang is also from Langya, what do you think of your township party?"

"High martial arts, bold, good intuition, quick reaction, a general in the field, but not General Shen's opponent."

"Why?"

"High martial arts, bold, good intuition, and quick response." Zhuge Liang showed a hint of a smile. "But they were not cautious enough, they did not collect enough information before the war, and they were not decisive enough to dare to break the cauldron and fight the winner." He paused, and then said, "I think he should be reluctant to give up his own parts." ”

Sun Ce smiled and bowed slightly. "If you were Yan Liang, what would you do?"

Zhuge Liang raised his hand and scratched his sideburns with his tail finger. "The best strategy is to stick to the Fuyong Mountain, and the next strategy is to make a desperate bet and storm General Shen's headquarters."

Sun Ce glanced at Zhuge Liang in surprise. It is understandable to stick to Fuyong Mountain, this is a very safe tactic, which is in line with Zhuge Liang's character of seeking stability. But he made a desperate bet, ignoring Ling Cao and Zhang Yun on both wings, and attacking the strongest Shen Youbu, which was not like Zhuge Liang's style. Could it be that with himself, his personality has also changed?

"I think Yan Liang is using the middle strategy, which is not as good as your upper policy, but it is better than your lower policy. However, you are right about one thing, he did not collect enough information before the war, and underestimated the strength of Shen Youbu. But it wasn't his responsibility, he didn't have that condition. If he is required by the standard of a general, even if he is not excellent, he is still middle-class, and it is enough to be Shen You's stone. ”

Zhuge Liang didn't say anything more and nodded. Although Yan Liang was defeated by Shen You in the end, he faced a superior force twice as large as his own, slashed Zhang Yun in battle, and achieved almost equal casualties, so he could not be considered defeated. Pang Tong only said that he repelled Yan Liang, but did not say that he defeated Yan Liang, precisely because of such considerations.

Of course, this is also Yan Liang's closest chance to victory. He failed to defeat Shen You this time, and he won't have a chance in the future. Shen Youhui is getting stronger and stronger, and Yan Liang is controlled by Yuan Xi and does not have much room to grow, and his background cannot make Yuan Xi and Feng Ji obey him. The two sides have different identities and statuses, and their power is uneven, so naturally there is no rival to speak of.

"Is there any news from Yingchuan?"

"Not yet, but it should be soon. According to the calculation of time, Lu Yi and Xun Yan will soon arrive in Yangzhai, and General Huang should not let them join forces with Huang Wan. ”

Sun Ce smiled but said nothing. Zhuge Liang saw it in his eyes and knew that Sun Ce had a different opinion, so he opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but swallowed it back. Seeing this, Sun Ce turned to Lu Yi and said, "Bo Yan, what do you think?" ”

Lu Yi bowed slightly. "I don't know much about General Huang's tactics, so I don't dare to speculate. However, there is nothing wrong with Huang Wan and Lu Yi meeting together. Huang Wan led the Luoyang Tuntian soldiers, who were originally Zhu Gong's old troops, but Lu Yi led the Jizhou soldiers, and it was difficult for them to have a tacit understanding, but there was a possibility of conflict. Lu Yi was short of food, and because Xun Yan prevented him, he couldn't collect it on the spot, so he joined Huang Wan and naturally wanted to get Luoyang's food support, but Luoyang's grain storage was limited, and he was afraid that he would not be able to meet Lu Yi's requirements. Over time, conflict is inevitable. ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed slightly, glanced at Lu Yi, and nodded in agreement. Bo Yan is right, there is indeed this possibility. In this way, General Huang should stick to Luyang and brake quietly. It will be hot in a few days, and Jizhou led by Lu Yi may not adapt to the climate of the Central Plains, and it is possible that the water and soil will not adapt to it after a long time. ”

"That's right, a soldier is a good victory, not a long time. Yuan Shao came thousands of miles, and the advantage was to win quickly. Our army is defending the spot, and the benefits are long-lasting. The longer it drags on, the better it will be for us. "It's hard for Lu Yi to say a few more words." Just like Yuan Shao is over half a hundred years old, but the general has just weakened the crown, the gap is thirty years, we don't need to worry, it should be Yuan Shao who is in a hurry, keep the clouds open, and the moon is naturally bright. ”..

Looking at the two genius boys, Sun Ce was very pleased. Well said, time is on my side. Thirty years later, I have so many geniuses available, what about Yuan Shao? The trees at the top of his grave are almost ready to be girders. Why am I in a hurry, slowly consume him, and consume him to death.
