Sun Ce rolled over and got off the horse in front of the curved corridor. Chen Wu and Xu Sheng followed Sun Ce to the water pavilion. The others were free to move on the shore, either practicing riding and archery, or sitting around.

Guo Jia was sitting in the corridor on the east side, drinking hot drinks while listening to the military planners' reports. From the moment he learned that Yuan Shao and Zhang Ze were in a state of war, the military planners were in war ready, and those who were preparing to go home for the New Year had their leave. The military planners, who originally planned to reunite with their families during the New Year holiday, scolded Yuan Shao so much that they could not return home. Although they could send letters through post offices and send their families to Pingyu to reunite, it was a pity that they could not return home in glory. Therefore, the military planners were all angry and racked their brains to cheat Yuan Shao, and it would be best to beat him up so that they would not have to make trouble in the future.

When Sun Ce went upstairs, he was hearing a military figure reporting to Guo Jia about the geography near Junyi. He looked so excited that Guo Jia blocked his face with a feather fan so that he would not be spitting out of his face. Seeing Sun Ce going upstairs, Jun Mou seized the time to mutter a few more words, looked at Guo Jia nodded in agreement, and then left with satisfaction.

Sun Ce looked at Junmou's excited back and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Guo Jia took out his hand towel to wipe his face and said, "He said that Yuan Shao came across the river, and there were many supplies for tens of thousands of troops. There was Wuchao Ze near the sour jujube. There was swampy land on all sides. Only one passage could enter, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Yuan Shao might arrange the supplies there. It is recommended to seize the time to investigate the terrain."

When Sun Ce heard the word Wuchao, he felt aroused. Although Chunyu Qiong had already hung up, the fire of Wuchao could still be released.

"What do you think?"

"These kids are smart and dare to think and do, but they don't have experience, so they can't help taking it for granted. No matter how easy Wuchao is to defend and attack, is it safer than Sourzao? Zhang Chao will not face Yuan Shao head-on and give up Fengqiu, which is facing Junyi's front. Sourzao Zhucheng is expected."

After Sun Strategy thought about it, he understood the truth. The geography would not change, but the situation between the two sides changed. Cao Cao was in Yanzhou at the beginning, so when Yuan Shao entered Guandu, the sour jujube was still in Cao Cao's hands, and Yuan Shao could only station himself outside the city. Now Yanzhou is in Cao Ang's hands, Chen Liu is in Zhang Chao's hands. Cao Ang, and Zhang Chao will not turn against him and Yuan Shao for him and Zhucheng in front, and let him and Yuan Shao have a tough fight. This is in their interests. Therefore, Yuan Shao will easily seize the sour jujube and Fengqiu Zhucheng, and there is no need to put the baggage outside the city.

"Can you take the jujubes first?"

"Yes, but it's meaningless." Guo Jia took out a document from the side of the case and handed it to Sun Ce. "Our tactic is to defend and counterattack, let Yuan Shao fight against Junyi City for a long time, concentrate the limited field main force in his hands, waiting for a counterattack. Now, although you can discuss it with Zhang Chao, you will inevitably face Yuan Shao's attack after taking it off. The city of Sugara is not as strong as Junyi City, and it cannot be defended in the end. Although it can delay Yuan Shao for a little time, it consumes our limited force and is not worth the loss."

After hearing Guo Jia's right, Sun Ce did not persist anymore. He ignored the actual situation and tried to replicate the success in history. It was like carving a boat and asking for a sword. The wise man did not do it. He opened the document and read it for a while. It was sent by Sun Jian. He had returned to Junyi and fought with Huang Wan according to Sun Ce's plan. Huang Gai was ordered to be defeated. After two days of confrontation, he saw Huang Wan sending a large army to encircle him, Huang Gai threw down some supplies and ran away. At present, Huang Wan's morale was high and he returned to attack Dong Yue. Dong Yue was short of troops and was defeated by Huang Wan. He had already given up the Pike and retreated to Shan County.

Sun Ce smiled and said, "Huang Wan must now feel that she is simply a famous general in the world."

Guo Jia laughed and handed over another document. "Ma Riyi is coming. He did not go to Nanyang, but went to Yingchuan, saying that he wanted to see his old friend Feng Fang. General, what do you think he wants to see?"

“Military farming.”

"That's right." Guo Jia shook the feather fan. "This may be due to the instruction of the emperor, or it may be due to the instruction of Yuan Shao. Although Ma Riyan was old, he was a scholar after all, and sometimes he might not tell who he meant. If it was Yuan Shao's intention, then our plan would be half successful. Taking Yingchuan can not only obtain military farmland, but also return to his hometown, and gain both fame and fortune. My uncle will definitely not give up."

Sun Ce nodded with a smile. Not only Guo Tu, Yuan Shao would also be moved. Xu County has good advantages in military farming. After two years of exploration, it has gradually become better. It has harvested nearly two million stones a year, and in addition to its own consumption, it can also support 50,000 people. After controlling this military farming, the Ruying Group has the strength to compete with the Jizhou Group.

"Have you contacted Feng Fang?"

"I've contacted, but I still hope to make the momentum bigger. Please send someone to send an emergency order from Ma Chao to prohibit them from entering the military farm."

Sun Ce laughed silently. Guo Jia was indeed a genius who played with people's hearts. This move would definitely make Yuan Shao unable to stop. He agreed happily and immediately raised his pen and ordered. "Who is better to let him go?"

"Liu Hu is good."

Sun Ce understood and called Chen Wu and asked him to find Liu Hu with the sealed order. Chen Wu went there. Sun Ce told him about the incident when he had met Zhuge Liang just now at the workshop. Guo Jia frowned. "What do the general want to do?"

"He has lofty ambitions, I don't know if he can do what he wishes." Sun Ce twisted his fingers and was a little hesitant. It must be a temptation to take Zhuge Liang for himself, but the premise is that Zhuge Liang can use it for him. His personality determines his destiny. Although his encounters are different, his personality is born. Whether Zhuge Liang will become a powerful minister in the future is something he needs to consider.

"High ambitions are not a bad thing, and it is tragic to have no ambitions. As for whether he becomes Yi Yin or Wang Mang, the decision-making power is not up to him, but general." Guo Jia shook his feather fan and said slowly: "General, modesty is a virtue, but being too modesty will also affect your confidence. You must have confidence in yourself, and the magic power is in your hands. What are you going to worry about?"

Sun Ce raised his eyelids and glanced at Guo Jia, thinking. He knew best whether it was modest or guilty. Of course, Guo Jia knew it well, but he just couldn't guess the real reason for his guilt.

"There is one more thing." Guo Jia changed the topic in time. "Xu Huang has news. Wu Yi has been very active recently. He sent scouts to Shangyong and Fangling areas to significantly increase in detail. It seems that there is a possibility of sending troops to Jingxiang and supporting Yuan Shao."

"If Wu Yi had actions, would Cao Cao have actions against Nanjun as well?"

"The expected difference is that I don't know if he really wants to take advantage of the situation or bluff. We make the worst plan. Zhou Gongjin should go to Yiling, and the troops in Xiangyang will increase. At this time, we cannot give Cao Cao any fantasies to avoid backfiring."

Sun Ce thought for a moment and nodded. "Transfer our thoughts to Gongjin, and he will deal with the rest. With Xun You and Xin Pi helping each other, he will be able to get Cao Cao."

Guo Jia responded and said, "What should I do on Wuguan? Huang Zhong went north and Gongjin went south. Nanyang was short of troops. If the enemy could not be resisted from the territory, once it was penetrated into the hinterland, Nanyang would be in danger."

"It's okay to have Mr. Zigang here." Sun Ce said meaningfully: "I believe in them, and you must believe in them too. It is impossible to have everything in a thousand miles away."
