Yuan Shao stopped, his eyes flashed slightly, turned around and walked to the map, quickly found Guandu's location, without saying a word, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he had discovered a treasure.

Junyi City is surrounded by gutter water and Honggou water. Because we want to build a harbor to store water, there are construction sites for building harbors in the east and south of the city, as well as a large number of civilians and garrisons. There is a large camp in the north of the city. If Sun Jian wants to leave the city, he has to go out of the west gate, and then walk along the north bank of Honggou water, turn northwest, cross the gutter at Guandu in Zhongmu, and then go south along the east bank of Putianze.

When he ran from Luoyang, Yuan Shao had passed by Zhongmu. He knew that the terrain was low and humid. Now it is early summer. There are reeds everywhere around Putianze, so it is no problem to hide tens of thousands of people. From Guandu to the south, whether it is to go east to Kaifeng, Weishi, or Xinzheng to the west, there is an open land within a radius of 100 miles, and there are no large rivers, and there are many terrains suitable for cavalry charges.

As long as Sun Jian leaves the city and crosses the gap, Xu You cuts off his retreat, Sun Jian will be dead and will be unable to fly. As long as he surrounds Sun Jian, he can wait for Sun Ce to come to help. Even if Sun Ce is good at fighting and can defeat Tuo Yi and Xun Yan, whose troops are several times his own, his losses will not be small. To save Sun Jian is tantamount to falling into a trap. If Sun Jian does not save Sun Jian, he can only watch Sun Jian be captured and bear the bad reputation of being unfilial. Once Sun Jian is captured, he will not bow his head if he doesn't believe Sun Ce. Not only can he wash away the shame of Yuan Tan's capture, but he can also return it twice as much.

So for Sun Ce, the result is actually not much different from saving or not.

Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing. Xu You was indeed very smart. His method was better than Guo Tu and Ju Su, and there was basically no risk and the chance of success was higher. Sun Ce might not come to save Sun Jian, but Sun Jian could not sit idly by and watch Sun Ce be surrounded. As long as the news was sent to Junyi, Sun Jian would definitely leave the city. In the city, Sun Jian could only sigh at the city. When he left the city, even Sun Jian was really a tiger, he would turn into a sick cat.

Yuan Shao's eyes rolled, walked to the door of the tent and opened it. As he expected, Guo Tu was indeed standing outside the tent. Yuan Shao waved and called Guo Tu in. "You heard Ziyuan's suggestion?"

Guo Tu disagreed. "I don't think Xiuruo and others can't surround Sun Ce if the lord doesn't attack in person. Although Sun Ce's troops are small, they are all elite. He is like a hedgehog. Even if Kuo Yuntian and Xun Xiu can't slap him around, he will not be able to slap."

"Is it important to be able to speak? Even if his entire army arrives, we can still severely damage him." Xu You sneered. "I am not afraid of him coming, but I am afraid that he will not dare to come. The military strategy says: To help others but not to others. Also, it says: If you fight for profit for a hundred miles, you will be defeated. We are waiting for our hard work, so why fear it?"

Guo Tu snorted, speechless. Yuan Shao saw it in his eyes, was overjoyed and patted Guo Tu on the shoulder hard. "You are right, in terms of strange plans, Ziyou is the first."

Guo Tu bowed and said, "The lord is wise. But how can we make Sun Jian believe that Sun Ce is in danger? We still need to do some work."

Yuan Shao had a slight head. "That's right, this article will be written by Gongzeren."

"This is the duty of the minister." Guo Tu said again: "Lord, Mr. Ju and Mr. Ju are good at looking at the overall situation. It is better to ask him to discuss it together. It will definitely be beneficial to find out the missing."

Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu in surprise, feeling uneasy. Guo Tu knew it well, and then smiled and said, "Lord, Mr. Ju and his son are in Yingchuan. If he mistakenly thinks that the lord wants to abandon the Yingchuan army, he may have doubts. Let him participate, so as to avoid any trouble."

Yuan Shao was relieved and nodded repeatedly, asking the guards to pass on Ju Su. Not long after, Ju Su rushed over. Seeing Xu You in the tent, he was in a state of disheveled clothes and was full of alcohol, he was quite surprised. However, after listening to Xu You's plan, he thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"General Xu's plan is very good."

"Do you have anything to add?" Yuan Shao asked on his own initiative. Xu You disagreed, raised his head, stroked the short beard under his jaw, and pretended not to see him.

Ju Su thought about it and put forward a supplementary opinion.

Luoyang is the ancient capital. Although Huang Wan is an ally of Yuan Shao and cooperated with Yuan Shao to send troops to Yingchuan, he is nominally the Grand Marshal of the court, and Luoyang has always been in control of the court. Huang Wan sent troops to cooperate with Yuan Shao privately, which can also be understood as the court and Yuan Shao's alliance. Now that Huang Wan has failed, the court cannot sit idly by and watch Luoyang fall, and will definitely send important officials to take over Luoyang. If this person is in the same heart as Yuan Shao, then there is no problem. If this person is different from Yuan Shao, then Luoyang may become a problem for Yuan Shao, restraining Yuan Shao's actions and preventing him from going south with all his strength. Therefore, Yuan Shao should take advantage of the news before the court heard the news and march westward to seize the fortresses such as Xingyang and Ao Cang to see the changes in the situation.

Xingyang is only seventy or eighty miles away from Zhongmu. Once Sun Jian leaves the city, the cavalry can arrive in half a day and infantry can arrive in one day. Yuan Shao's move to Xingyang will not affect the plan to ambush Sun Jian, but will instead cover up the real tactical purpose - Sun Jian will definitely send scouts out of the city to inquire about the situation. When he finds that Yuan Shao is fighting for Luoyang, he will relax his vigilance and ignore the possibility of Yuan Shao's ambushing him.

"Okay, this plan is the best way to achieve the real and practical military strategy." Yuan Shao applauded.

Guo Tu also praised: "Yes, Sun Jian didn't know that Shen Pei was on the way to Luoyang, and Huang Wan lost the battle. The lord was worried that Luoyang would be in trouble, so he moved his troops to seize Luoyang. It was reasonable and there was no flaw. This plan was mixed with the real and the real was difficult to distinguish the authenticity. It was a natural skill, and it was written by everyone."

Ju Su said he didn't dare. Although Xu You didn't say anything, he really looked at Ju Su's eyes, and there was a rare feeling of appreciation in his eyes. He was not willing to be outdone, thought about it carefully, and also made a suggestion.

Kaifeng and the two counties of Yushi are already under Yuan Shao's control. Wanling on the west side, Xinzheng is still in the hands of Huang Wan's old subordinates, and are not directly controlled by Yuan Shao. Moreover, the west of Xinzheng is a mountainous area, which is beneficial to infantry and cavalry. According to common sense, Yuan Shao rushed to Yingchuan to take the route to Kaifeng, Yushi, Sun Jian, and Sun Ceyi take the route to Xinzheng and Wanling. Yuan Shao can bluff in Kaifeng, and Yushi, but ambush in the mountainous area west of Xinzheng. When Sun Jian and Sun Ce pass by, all the ambush will be launched and one strike will be hit.

Yuan Shao thought about it repeatedly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the plan was good, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Guo Tu, Ju Su and Xu You, I said one thing, a careful plan quickly took shape. After getting Yuan Shao's approval, Guo Tu took the lead and formulated a combat plan, sent people to Yingchuan, ordered Tuo Yi and Xun Yan to cooperate with the action, lay out a big picture, and forced Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son to join the war. Considering that this plan was related to whether Yuan Shao could defeat the Sun family and his son and seize the Central Plains, there could be no mistakes, Yuan Shao decided to send Zhang He to lead the halberd soldiers to take a trip, check the terrain along the way, and choose a battlefield that is conducive to cavalry combat.

After being defeated by Yu Fuluo, the Hu Qi was not adapted to the disadvantages of the Central Plains terrain. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, choosing an ideal terrain became a prerequisite for whether the cavalry's advantages could be used. Those Wuhuan people and Xianbei people did not have such knowledge. Zhang He was familiar with cavalry tactics and was the best candidate for this task.
