Chen Ji said a few words, and then asked him to say that he was in poor health and went to the back hall to rest. Chen Qun held a banquet to entertain Guo Jia. Although he accepted Sun Ce's exclusion in principle, the specific conditions have not been discussed.

Guo Jia was very calm and found out the arrangements and plans discussed with Sun Ce. Zao Zhi will take over Feng Fang as the General of the Military Field Army, and Xun Chen will be the Chief Secretary, assisting Zao Zhi in charge of military field affairs. His status is comparable to that of Lu Meng and Jiang Qin. Lu Meng and Jiang Qin are both young generals trained by Sun Ce, and their expectations are very high. They will mainly undertake combat tasks in the military field, and Xun Chen will be their military advisor. Zao Zhi himself is not good at using troops, and Xun Chen needs to undertake some combat tasks. If Xun Chen himself has this intention, he can be converted into a full-time general in the future.

Chen Qun had no practical experience, so he first interned in Sun Ce's Military Planning Office for a period of time, and then arranged according to his expertise. The Military Planning Office heard that the name is an institution related to military affairs, but in fact it is Sun Ce's staff organization, and even military farming affairs are included. Not long ago, a young man named Cang Ci made a good suggestion, which was adopted by Sun Ce. Now he is in charge of this matter in detail. Judging from the current progress, Sun Ce is very satisfied with him.

"General Sun is very young, and most of the members of the Military Planning Department are young. They get along well and have no rules and regulations. Of course, this also has its drawbacks. It is too casual and easy to get into trouble. Long articles are a good opportunity to enter the Military Planning Department at this time. It is a good opportunity to bring the strict family style of your Chen family and gradually establish rules. It will be beneficial to General Sun's great cause."

Chen Qun was a teenager after all, and after hearing Guo Jia's words, he was very happy. Although he wanted to act calmly and reserved, he showed an unconcealed smile on his face.

Xun Chen thought more. "Is this going to use the promise as a battlefield?"

Guo Jia knew that Xun Chen was smart and did not hide it. "Yes."

"So, Xiuruo has become your prey?" Xun Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Fengxiao, you are making our brothers an enemy."

"This is also the reason why you are the chief for the time being. The brothers are fighting each other, after all, it hurts human relations. Of course, if you can write a letter and let Xiu Ruoqi go to the dark light, it would be the best. Wen Ruo met Zhang Zigang in Luoyang before going to Chang'an. He rejected Zhang Zigang's invitation and only wanted to be the enemy of Zhang Zigang for life. If you come forward to persuade Xiu Ruo, Xiu Ruo will never be the enemy of you for life."

Xun Chen sighed softly. "I'm fine, I'm afraid Xu can't agree. After all, there are still many tribe members in Yecheng."

Guo Jia's heart moved, and he wanted to speak but stopped. Although it was only a moment of change in expression, Xun Chen could see clearly and looked at Guo Jia with a bright look. Guo Jia secretly regretted that the plan to encircle and annihilate Yuan Shao was highly confidential, and even the military plan knew about it was only a handful of people. At this time, the news could not be leaked. However, Xun Chen was a smart person. If he didn't explain it, Xun Chen would definitely doubt it. His eyes rolled and he smiled and said, "Yuan Xiansi has gone back, and He Boqiu will soon return to Yecheng. With their care, you should not be in danger of your Xun family."

Xun Chen was skeptical. With He Yong, Yuan Tan could not protect the Xun family. Guo Jia should have other reasons, but the time was not right, so he was not convenient for him to say it. Xun Chen did not ask. "I'll try it. Whether it can be successful depends on Xiu Ruo's own thoughts."

"It's better to write now," Guo Jia urged.

——

Man Chong held the military newspaper and read it three times, his brows getting tighter and tighter. He looked at Xu Sheng in front of him and couldn't help asking: "Who is the general of more than a thousand navy commanders? Why didn't he mention it at all?"

Xu Sheng did not speak. Man Chong understood and waved his hand to signal the officials to retreat. He asked Xu Sheng to take a seat and ordered someone to serve tea. Xu Sheng took the seat, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and waited for all the officials to retreat. Only the two of them were left in the hall, Man Chong bowed.

"I dare to ask for my high reputation."

Xu Sheng returned the ceremony, reported his name, hometown and position, and finally said: "The general said that the thousand navy troops were suspicious soldiers, so there was no need to arrange special generals, and the command of the Manchu envoy was temporarily under the command of the envoy."

When Man Chong learned that Xu Sheng was the guard knight beside Sun Ce, he understood what Sun Ce meant. The command did not need to be borne by Sun Ce's guard knight, and Xu Sheng was arranged by Sun Ce to assist him. According to convention, this suspicious plan was probably proposed by Xu Sheng. He immediately asked Xu Sheng for specific planning content. Xu Sheng told him everything and explained the plan.

Man Chong was shocked and full of shock. He stared at Xu Sheng. If he hadn't been familiar with Xu Sheng, he would almost scream. This plan was too risky. Using Sun Ce as bait to lure Yuan Shao into Yingchuan and use the navy to intercept Yuan Shao's retreat. This was simply whimsical. There were too many uncontrollable factors. If there were any mistakes, it would be a big defeat, at the least, it would be a loss, and at the worst it would be a defeat. Compared to the current tactic of defending the city and waiting for Yuan Shao to retreat, this plan was simply a gambling, and it was a desperate bet.

Man Chong moved his body uneasyly. "Is the general still in Xu County?"

Xu Sheng was prepared. "The envoy planned to go to Xu County and meet the general?"

Although Man Chong was a little surprised, he nodded. "Yes, I have some opinions and want to ask the general in person."

Xu Sheng nodded in understanding. "The general said that the envoy is cautious and will definitely have opinions. The envoy can go to Xu County to meet him, but it is not now. He wants to invite Tuo Yi and Xun Yan to fight. After he succeeds, he may return to Xu County. Even if the envoy does not go, he will summon the envoy to the envoy for an interview. As for now, the most urgent task is to contact Luo Xiang and coordinate the matter of harvesting wheat, planting rice and building dams. The situation is relatively urgent. You cannot delay it. The sooner you prepare, the better."

Man Chong frowned, twisted his fingers, pondering without saying a word. He felt that this matter was unreliable, time was tight and the task was heavy, and it might be difficult for the people to recruit them easily, and it might even cause people's turmoil. It would be fine if he himself did not agree, he would definitely follow Sun Ce's plan. However, Luo Tong was different. He was a bit stubborn scholar. If there was no sufficient reason, he could not convince Luo Tong. He was the governor and could not directly mobilize the people. He had to pass Luo Tong. Moreover, Luo Tong had a very good reputation in Chen State. If he opposed it, this matter would basically not be possible.

Xu Sheng said with a smile: "Are you worried about Luo Xiang?"

"Yes, Luo Xiang is an upright person and loves the people as much as his son. He values ​​farming. At this time, he may delay harvesting wheat and planting rice. If there is no sufficient reason, he probably won't agree."

Xu Sheng nodded. "The envoy's concern makes sense, and the general also considered this point, so he gave a preferential condition. This time, the dam water storage is not levy free of charge, but is paid recruitment. All the people involved in the project, regardless of men or women, as long as they meet the conditions and obey management, can also receive some rewards in addition to providing food."

"Reward? Is it food or money?" Man Chong asked.
