Sun Ce tasted it and smiled dumbly.

Guo Jia's fair words are much more ruthless than impeachment. Abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Xun Yu admitted that he offended Yuan Shao, and if he didn't admit it, he offended the Son of Heaven. Alone in Chang'an? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like drawing a line with Yuan Shao, but it seems to have ulterior motives. ZTE celebrities? Maybe I want to be a powerful minister.

The most ruthless planting is the praise that makes you unable to explain, and the more you explain, the darker it becomes. The treacherous is like loyalty, and the evil is like good, which is vividly reflected in Guo Jia's words.

It's a pity that no matter how good the strategy is, the other party doesn't hit the plan, and you don't have a trick. Xun Yu's Shangshu order was dismissed, but he was still in the palace, and his favor was still there. Whether Xun Yu is eloquent or the Son of Heaven trusts him, it's hard to say at the moment, but this result is obviously not enough to make Guo Jia so happy. If Guo Jia is so easily satisfied, he is not Guo Jia.

"Who is Shang Shuling now?"

"Jingzhao celebrity Zhao Shumao (Zhao Jian)."

Sun Ce had no impression of this person at all. However, when it came to Jingzhao Mingshi, whose surname was Zhao, he naturally remembered Zhao Qi. The two of them won't have anything to do with each other. Guo Jia then proved his conjecture. Zhao Jian is the son of Zhao Qi, he is very studious, he must be called poetry and books, he provides benevolence and love, and he is a good person in the true sense, but ...... Nothing to use.

Such a person as Shang Shuling is probably specially chosen by the Son of Heaven in order to appease the minister, and it is also to show his attitude to the Guanzhong family. But things must be reversed, and the Son of Heaven relies so heavily on the Kansai people, sooner or later it will cause a backlash from the Kanto people, and the situation in the imperial court will only become more and more complicated. As for how it will evolve later, no one can say.

Sun Ce felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and dealing with these smart people was really not an easy task.

"Bong-hyo asked if the recruits could fight, did they have any plans?"

"I suggest that the general be relocated to Niuzhu. This is a battleground for soldiers, and there is no need to lose it in a moment. ”

Sun Ce nodded, Wu Jun and Dantian were in Tuntian, spending a lot of manpower and material resources, but there was no terrain to defend in this area, only Niuzhuji was a battleground. Crossing the river from Niuzhu Rock can gallop to help Jiangbei, and going up the river from Niuzhu Rock can take Yuzhang, which is the hub.

"Feasible."

Sun Ce immediately invited the generals to discuss. Knowing that the war in Jiangbei was about to start, the generals were also eager to try, so there was no reason to disagree. Sun Ce made an arrangement, he asked his subordinate general Lin Feng to lead a thousand elite guards battalion to stay in Wu County, cooperate with Yu Fu and Cai Mao to stabilize Wu County, and if necessary, recruit troops from nearby Zhutun. He Qi was also sent back to Taimo, preparing to march into Yuzhang from the southern front. Zu Lang was stationed in Yixian County, and was the governor of the southern part of Danyang, cooperating with Chen to stabilize Danyang. The rest of the generals followed him north and watched the situation.

The generals dispersed, and each prepared to pull out his camp.

Sun Ce left Shen You. Wu County has basically stabilized, and Shen You will go with him on the expedition. Considering that Yuan Shao could go south at any time, Sun Ce lacked skills, so he planned to let Shen You be the deputy general, staying and guarding. Shen You happily obeyed, and reminded Sun Ce that He Qi is different from Zu Lang, his dedication is relatively heavy, and the strength of the He family is by no means comparable to a thief like Zu Lang, he may ask for more preparation, Sun Ce should grasp the overall situation, and the camera will be determined.

After saying the matter, as soon as Shen You came out of the account, He Qi came to ask to see him. Sun Ce exchanged glances with Guo Jia and Pang Tong, laughed twice in unison, and then shook his head helplessly.

He Qi entered the tent and bowed to Sun Ce. Seeing Guo Jia and Pang Tong on the side, smiling weirdly, He Qi couldn't help but be a little frightened.

Sun Ce coughed: "Gong Miao came to see him, what's the matter?" ”

He Qi retracted his mind, faked a cough, and arched his hand: "Thanks to the general's weight, the responsibility of Qi, and the command of the army, Qi is grateful, and his heart is terrified, so he came to ask the general for advice, and ask the general to explain the strategy in detail." ”

Sun Ce looked at He Qi with a smile and secretly despised it. The children of this family are hypocritical, they obviously want to fight, but they don't say a word about it, and they also ask for advice in a fake way.

"Is Gongmiao saying that I don't know people and use them inappropriately?"

He Qi hurriedly bowed. "How dare Qi, I don't know where the general started with this."

"In the battlefield battle, the fighter plane is fleeting, how can anyone decide in advance? I entrust you with the war on the Southern Front, because I believe that you have such ability. If you come to me now to ask me about my strategy, don't you mean that I have no eyes and have mistaken you, or have I deliberately given you an incompleteable task and put you in danger? ”

He Qi was embarrassed and shook his hand again and again. "The general's words are serious, and I have no intention of doing so. I'm just a little worried and want to ask the general for support. ”

"Worried about what? Insufficient troops? ”

He Qi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while. Sun Ce's straightforward way of speaking made it difficult for him to get used to. He came to see Sun Ce because he wanted to have more preparations. After being put under Sun Ce's command, Sun Ce only gave him the compilation of 300 parts, and this time, Sun Ce allocated another 2,000 people to his command to listen to orders. These two thousand people are indeed elite, but after all, there are not many of them, and he wants to have more establishment. The He family is rich and can afford to support people, as long as Sun Ce allows, he can recruit another two thousand people at any time. With 4,000 people in hand, he is sure to win Yuzhang.

But Sun Ce blocked him at the beginning. Sun Ce is very sensitive to this, is it appropriate for him to make this request at this time? But without mentioning it, he was not sure of winning. In desperation, he had to bite the bullet and say: "General, Yuzhang is a big county, and its population is more than that of Wu County and Huiji combined. Yuzhang and Danyang are adjacent to each other, and the bandits communicate with each other, and the troops are too small, so I am afraid that they will not be enough. Qi is not greedy, but he is worried that he will miss the general's big business. ”

Sun Ce nodded slowly, but the smile on his face was gone. He looked at He Qi solemnly, and said earnestly: "Gong Miao, you are cautious in using troops and taking precautions, which is of course a good thing. Who wouldn't want to have more centaurs if they could? However, the current situation is complicated, Wu will be coarse, the foundation is not solid, and it is not appropriate to raise troops on a large scale, otherwise the consumption will be too great, and it will inevitably be suspected of killing chickens and taking eggs. ”

He Qi hurriedly explained: "General, you cherish the people and don't want to extort tyranny, I very much agree. I didn't want to hire more soldiers, but I just hoped that the general would allow me to recruit troops on my own without the general allocating any salaries and supplies. ”

"I know that your He family has strong financial resources and can afford to raise soldiers, but what about others? Looking at your He Gongmiao's meritorious service, can they have no ideas? Or does it mean that without the cooperation of the generals, you He Gongmiao alone can capture Yuzhang? How many soldiers do you want to recruit? Ten thousand, twenty thousand? ”

A layer of cold sweat broke out on He Qi's forehead. He said in a dumb voice: "The general said that he laughed, how could the He family have such strength, and they would be satisfied if they could recruit two thousand people." ”

Sun Ce stared at He Qi for a while, and suddenly laughed. "Two thousand people is enough?"

"Two thousand is enough."

"If two thousand people are enough, I will ask Zulang to cooperate with you. The 2,000 men under his command are all elites, much better than the new recruits. Gong Miao, the conquest is a state affair, how can you let the He family contribute to it. I have received your heart, but public and private still have to be distinguished, what do you say? ”

He Qi sweated out like a pulp, and bowed down to receive the order.
