Sun Ce shook his head slightly, although he didn't know what the combat effectiveness of these soldiers under his command was, but how could he predict victory or defeat just by looking at the number of soldiers in a battle?

Of the 10,000 soldiers led by Sun Ce, 5,000 were the 5,000 light and strong Yellow Turban soldiers who had been "stolen" from Yuzhou before, and the 5,000 were recruits recruited by Zhao Yun! Although the training time was not long, Sun Ce still believed in Zhao Yun's training ability.

"Since you refuse to obey the orders of this marquis, then let's meet each other!" With that, Sun Ce turned his horse's head and returned to his camp, leaving Chen Wen with no chance to speak.

"Young master, are we attacking the city now?" After Sun Ce returned to the formation, Cheng Pu asked. As a military general, there has been no battle for a few months, Cheng Pu and others are itching and unbearable, just listened to the whole process of the dialogue between Sun Ce and Chen Wen, they are also holding a breath in their hearts, and they are all eager to try, wanting to take the lead in the city and take the first credit for this battle!

"Don't rush yet! We are not attacking the city today, just to test the meaning of this Chen Wen, as for when and how to attack the city, we have to think in the long run! Anyway, we only have 10,000 people now, and there are more than 20,000 people in the other city, although it is impossible to fight all of them, but 10,000 against 20,000, there is a huge gap in the number, we still have to be cautious! Sun Ce shook his head, he hadn't thought about attacking the city now, whether Sun Ce wanted to admit it or not, there was still some difference in actual strength.

Cheng Pu and the others only asked for battle, but since Sun Ce had no intention of fighting, they had no choice but to give up.

After returning to the camp, Sun Ce gathered all the generals together to discuss how to break the city.

"Lord!" The first to speak was naturally Guo Jia, who was a military advisor, "Now the situation of the enemy army is still unclear, we should focus on temptation now, and wait until we find out the true strength of the enemy army before we carry out a real siege!" At that time, the enemy will be truly defeated in one fell swoop! ”

"Well, Bonghyo is right, the question before us now is how to test the enemy!" Sun Ce has a headache now, just by relying on the few words that Chen Wen said, there is no way to judge at all, even if what Chen Wen said is the real number, then what about the combat effectiveness of the soldiers? How should this be understood?

Moreover, the thing that makes Sun Ce even more troublesome now is that due to the previous Yellow Turban Rebellion, the shadows in Yangzhou have lost contact with each other, and the shadows that Sun Ce can use now are only the shadows of Shouchun, and the remaining shadows, for some reason, can't be contacted! Otherwise, according to Shadow's intelligence-gathering ability, what Sun Ce wanted to know shouldn't be a problem at all.

"Lord, it's not as good as us!" Guo Jia seems to have thought of a good way.

"Tell me about it!" Sun Ce motioned for Guo Jia to continue.

"We're going straight to war!" Guo Jia said decisively.

"Straight to war?" Sun Ce frowned, it was obvious that he was not so satisfied with what Guo Jia said.

"That's right, Jiazhi's war is not to attack the city, but to make an appointment!" Guo Jia smiled slightly, he could see Sun Ce's expression, and he could naturally guess what Sun Ce thought.

"Covenant war?" Sun Ce frowned and pondered.

"That's right, it's about fighting, asking them to go out of the city, and fight in the field outside the city, so that there will be no situation where the two armies have the advantage and who is the inferior, so it will be easier to test the true strength of the other party! Moreover, if we can win this first battle, it will definitely be a great boost to the morale of our army! Guo Jia is very confident and calm.

"Well, what you said is right, but this Chen Wen, would he be so stupid to fight with us out of the city?" Sun Ce's brows were still tightly locked. He didn't think that this Chen Wen would be stupid enough to come to the field battle outside the city with them, in other words, with such a big advantage in hand, as long as he defended the city, it would be foolproof, why bother to go out of the city?

"Of course it will!" Guo Jia affirmed, "This Chen Wen is not as good as others, we can take advantage of the fact that Chen Wen is the assassin of Yangzhou, and he has a very high self-esteem to make a fuss!" ”

"Oh?" Sun Ce frowned slightly, as if he understood what Guo Jia meant.

"Yes, we can do that...... Such...... ...... like this," Guo Jia said little by little his plan.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Cheng Pu on the side hurriedly stroked his palms and praised him.

"Well, there shouldn't be any problem, just act according to what Feng Xiao said, do you understand?" Sun Ce nodded, "In addition, we don't have to worry, according to my estimate, Zilong's side should be about to be done, if Zilong can arrive in time, our side will be more confident!" ”

The generals nodded one after another, what was Zhao Yun's strength, and what was the strength of the Yellow Turban Lux they took away, they knew very well in their hearts. If Zhao Yun joins, maybe they don't need to be so entangled, just attack the city, maybe they can capture it!

"Let's go and rest first, and do what Feng Xiao said tomorrow morning!" Sun Ce opened his mouth and said, "Of course, you should call the formation in the morning, if you can call it out, it is good, if you can't, you can do it directly according to what Feng Xiao said!" ”

Guo Jia's plan is good, but if he can really lure Chen Wen or Chen Wen's army out of the city by scolding, wouldn't it be more beautiful?

"Yes!" The generals hugged their fists towards Sun Ce, and then scattered away, leaving only Sun Ce and Guo Jia in the camp.

"Fengxiao, you say, if we are a class teacher, what kind of expression will those county guards in Shouchun have when they know the result?" Sun Ce had a strange smile, and he could now imagine the shocked and terrified looks of those five people.

"Hehe, those five people, now they are probably still full of confidence, thinking that the lord has come to Chen Wen to solve it!" Guo Jia is still very accurate in grasping the human heart, as Guo Jia expected, Li Miao and the other five really think so!

"Hearing you say that, I can't wait to end this war and go back and see the expressions of those five!" Sun Ce couldn't help laughing.

After laughing for a while, Sun Ce's smile gradually converged, staring at the sky outside the tent, Sun Ce sighed: "I don't know if I can rush home before the year!" ”

After listening to Sun Ce's words, Guo Jia smiled very confidently: "Lord Fangxin, this expedition will not last too long, at most half a month, I will definitely be able to teach the class!" ”

"Oh?" Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and looked at Guo Jia suspiciously, "Fengxiao, you are so confident?" ”

"Naturally!" Guo Jia nodded very confidently, as if everything was already under his control.
