Yu Fan has been very busy recently and has been running back and forth between Kuaiji and Wujun. In order to save time, he used his power to improve the post stations in the Wuhui counties and equipped each post station with horses, so that he could change a horse every thirty miles in extreme situations, and travel between most counties and states in Kuaiji and Wujun at an accelerated speed of 600 miles.

He collected horses from various families. Not only did he not give a single money, but he also required the aristocratic family to provide horse raising services and rotated once every half month. For Jiangdong, who was short of horses, Sun Ce never asked about how he did it and what conditions he paid.

When he learned that Sun Ce was looking for him, Yu Fan, who was handling military farming affairs in Qu'a, rushed back overnight. It was already midnight when he arrived at the camp, and Sun Ce was about to rest. Seeing Yu Fan appear in front of him, Sun Ce was surprised.

"Aren't you going to Qu?"

"Yes, I had lunch in Qu'a. I heard that the general asked me for something, so I rushed back overnight and hadn't eaten dinner yet."

Sun Ce smiled bitterly. "As for it? It won't be a problem after two days. What if I get robbed in the middle of the night?"

"The general is fine, I have something to do." Yu Fan smiled proudly. "Although I am not the general's opponent, the three or five little thieves are not my opponent. Besides, I am uncertain and come and go like the wind. Even if someone wants to ambush me, I will not have a chance."

"Zhongxiang, you can't be so tired..."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, but now there are many things. When the rules are established, I will be idle. General, what are you doing to me?"

Seeing that Yu Fan was as busy as a top, Sun Ce did not waste his time. While asking someone to prepare for a midnight snack, he also told the situation and asked someone to call Guo Jia and Pang Tong over to discuss together. After hearing Guo Jia and Pang Tong's opinions, Yu Fan was a little unhappy when he looked at Sun Ce.

"The general asked me to come, not because he wanted to listen to my opinion, but because he wanted me to make a fortune, right?"

Before Sun Ce could speak, Guo Jia laughed first, nodded repeatedly and said, "Zhongxiang is right, no doubt, if it is difficult to make a decision, why ask you to come? Zhongxiang, you are welcome, show your skills. Your Yu family's fifth generation of Chuanyi cannot be able to tell you."

Yu rolled his eyes and said, "I know how to divine, but you said it, no doubt I won't divine. Are you having any questions now? No. Since there is no doubt, why do you need to divine?"

Guo Jia was furious and frowning. "So, Zhongxiang has any suggestions? Do you support me or Shi Yuan?"

"I don't support any of them." Yu Feng shook his sleeves. "General, gentleman acts when he sees the opportunity, without waiting for the whole day, there is no need to force him before the opportunity appears..."

Sun Ce slapped his forehead and suddenly realized. Guo Jia and Pang Tong looked at each other, laughed and shook their heads. They were both rare wise men, but they made the same mistake and couldn't argue because of something that had not yet been proven.

Yu Fan ignored them and bowed to Sun Cegong and said, "General, the way of heaven is still unknown. The moon has phases and waxing, and the sun also has sun eclipses. What's more, the war is fierce and dangerous. How can you expect to make every plan and win every battle? That's why the military strategy says that the invincibility lies in me, and the enemy can be defeated. There are never only unbeaten famous generals, but no famous generals who must win."

Sun Ce nodded yes. He knew he was too nervous. Maybe he didn't know Yuan Shao before and thought he was a weak chicken, but now he found that Yuan Shao's strength was stronger than Sun Cao and Liu, and the gap was too big, so he paid special attention to Yuan Shao, a giant, and felt a little nervous. Not only him, but Guo Jia, but Pang Tong, too. Needless to say, Pang Tong grew up with him. Guo Jia knew very well about Yuan Shao's strength and always regarded Yuan Shao as a strong enemy. He must fight and defeat him. Instead, he was not as calm as Yu Fanlai.

After breaking the solid state of mind, there is no need to ask questions. Continue to train troops and stay vigilant. Anyway, before the soldiers are trained, he can go anywhere. When the soldiers are trained, he can do whatever they want. He hasn't met Yu Fan for a while. Since Yu Fan came overnight, he simply exchanged the situation.

Sun Ce first explained the training of troops. Yu Fan had already learned a lot of the situation. At this moment, he heard Sun Ce's personal explanation and agreed with Sun Ce's courage to break the rules. Compared to the usual practice of comparing who has more troops, the idea of ​​winning with elite soldiers is different from the way, and it also means returning to the truth. Before the Warring States Period, conquest was something that aristocrats were qualified to do. The major affairs of the country were only sacrifices and military affairs. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the scale of the war has become larger and larger. Under similar skills, they can only compete for troops and have more household registration. Whoever has more household registration will have more soldiers and will win.

This is like fighting, fighting for brute force, not martial arts.

Practicing elite soldiers, instruments, and talking about tactics, and mobilizing everyone's intelligence and talents as much as possible is the real way to use troops.

Guo Jia and Pang Tong were surprised by Yu Fan's opinion. Although they were also planning and contributing wisdom for the war, the role they could play was actually very limited, otherwise they would not be so sensitive to whether Yuan Shao would attack. Yu Fan's eyes were even more open. He not only obeyed Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others, but also included Huang Yueying and other craftsmen in the Wood School, which undoubtedly expanded the use of scholars and broke the gap between civil and military.

This is not only the best manifestation of both civil and military importance, but also the active integration. In this regard, Guo Jia and Pang Tong both felt ashamed of themselves. Although they were all in the military camp, they did not regard themselves as warriors, and there were some scholars who were noble and thought that they were hardworking, not laborers. Not to mention anything else, they watched Sun Ce and others practice military martial arts every day, but they did not think about learning one move or two moves.

"Zhongxiang is brave and enterprising, and is amazing when he sees the virtuous," Guo Jia praised.

Pang Tong also shook his head repeatedly and was very grateful. "I know that yesterday was not the same as a piece of grass, and I can't do it if I am not a wise man."

Yu Fan was not humble either, laughing loudly, feeling a little complacent, and his madness remained unabated.

Sun Ce saw it and was happy in his heart, and the more he looked at it, the more he became happy. Yu Fan dared to give up. Once he found out that he was wrong, he would give up everything he had without hesitation. This is indeed not something that ordinary people can do. It is the result of his hard work for more than 20 years. If he can do this, his future achievements will be limitless.

Yu Fan also reported on his recent work, especially the military farming near Qua. He has been to Qua several times recently and met with the military farming commander Xian Yu Cheng several times. He thought that this person was a good farmer. He was very knowledgeable about agriculture, but he was not very proficient in water conservancy engineering and his organizational ability was not outstanding. He was looking for suitable talents to help. There are many people with organizational ability, but not many people who are familiar with water conservancy engineering. He was thinking about whether to study it himself.

Sun Ce's heart moved. "I have a candidate who should be able to help."

Yu Fan was overjoyed. "Who? Where?"

Sun Ce turned to look at Guo Jia. "Fengxiao, you should know who it is?"

Guo Jia pondered for a moment. "Yes, it's time for Yuan Min to come."
