"The key problem now is food. Without food, even if there is a million soldiers, it will be useless. If there is food, the General Zhengdong will be able to revive the potential, which is definitely not Yuan Tan and Cao Ang can compete with him." Guo Jia shook his feather fan and talked happily. "However, food itself is not a problem. Suiyang has food, Dangshan has food, Peixian, and Pengcheng have food. How to deliver food to General Zhengdong is the biggest problem. Not to mention Yuan Tan, Cao Ang will not let us do it. Even if they don't stop, prepare and transfer, we will take seven or eight days. If we delay it on the road, it may take more than ten days."

"What should I do? Will I not save you when I die?" Sun Quan said loudly, with tears on his face.

Guo Jia looked at Sun Quan and said word by word: "Of course you need to save it. This issue does not need to be discussed. What is discussed now is how to save it. What do you have to do to deliver food security to Fanghe within ten days?"

Sun Quan was speechless.

"Since you can't deliver food, you may consider picking up food on the spot." Pang Tong said: "Yanzhou is a large province, Shanyang, Jiyin and Rencheng, all with densely populated areas. There are many large counties with household registrations of over 10,000 yuan. As long as you can capture a county town, the county's grain storage will be enough to support the food for several months."

"Oh, this is a good method." Han Dang slapped his thigh, surprised and happy. "We shouldn't go east, we should go north." He looked at everyone and felt a little embarrassed. "In fact, Changyi had more food, but he was in a hurry and didn't have time to bring it with him."

Guo Jia nodded. "Shi Yuan's suggestion is indeed good, but we have to consider a problem. Siege is not easy. Even in an ordinary county town, if the opponent is prepared and cannot quickly take it, he can only attack. It will take ten days and half a month to prepare the siege equipment, and we don't have this time at all. With Xinpi's ability, since such a big situation has been laid, there is no reason not to strengthen defense in Rencheng. Three circumferences are missing one, and his one will be the swamp in Fang and Nan, and it will not be Rencheng."

Pang Tong looked slightly and then put forward his own opinions. "There are many powerful families in Rencheng. Even if they don't take the county town and attack one or two manors, it is easy to obtain three or five thousand stones of grain."

"It's true. But there are two problems to consider: First, Yanzhou is one of the most serious areas of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou entered Yanzhou a year ago, and Rencheng was the battlefield. Rencheng prime minister Zheng was killed in battle. The powerful Rencheng family suffered this problem and would not fail to strengthen their defense. Second, even if they succeeded by luck, three or five thousand stones would be just a few days of edification, and they could only take it again after a few days. Continuous attacks are facing the crisis of food cuts at all times. How long can it last?"

Han Dang couldn't help asking, "This is not OK, that is not OK, what's the trick to sacrificing wine?"

Guo Jia laughed: "The tiger's mouth robs food."

The generals looked at each other, not knowing what Guo Jia was talking about. Sun Ce was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Take Yuan Tan and Cao Ang's food to eat?"

Guo Jia nodded. "If this is not the case, we cannot rescue General Zhengdong."

Everyone took a breath of air conditioning at the same time. Even Han Dang's face was gone and he didn't dare to say another word. Without baggage, he was looking forward to seizing the other party's food and raising the battle with war. This was a gamble. He tried Sun Ce's life to save Sun Jian, either father and son were both alive, or father and son died. Such a decision was no longer acceptable to a normal person. But after thinking about it, this was originally a game set by Xin Pi, with the purpose of luring Sun Ce into the underworld. This result was the most normal result.

Sun Quan looked at Sun Ce and did not dare to say a word.

The atmosphere in the big tent was extremely depressing for a moment, and even breathing was suppressed intentionally or unintentionally.

Sun Ce twisted his fingers and pondered for a moment. "Since that's the case, then follow the plan of sacrificing wine to seize food from the tiger's mouth and fight for life and death with Yuan Tan and Cao Ang."

"General..." Han Dang felt relieved, but he didn't know what to say.

"Brother..." Sun Quan also breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could finish his words, tears burst out from his eyes.

Sun Ce glanced at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia seemed to be smiling. Sun Ce said: "The war is fierce and dangerous. The battlefield is a place of death. There is no way to win. This battle is dangerous. I dare not force you to advance and retreat with me. For the sake of convenience, I cannot lead too many people. I can only choose the bravest and most fearless warriors. Only by taking one to ten can I have the chance to live to death..."

Before Sun Ce could speak, Guan Yu stood up, stroked his left hand with his smooth and bright beard and gently pushed forward.

"Guan is willing to go."

Sun Ce looked at Guan Yu and laughed. "Chang Yun, I understand your mood, but this battle..."

"It's okay." Guan Yu stood proudly. "I have nothing to ask for, I just want to ask the general to give two good horses for transfer. Even if the general doesn't go, Guan is willing to go to the battle alone and rescue Sun Zhengdong. The general has healed my father, and I will rescue your father, and we will resent you from now on."

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare horses for you later."

"Thank you." Guan Yu returned to the seat, looking straight.

"Chief Guan Yun, General Zhengdong is my hero in Jiangdong. Why do you, a Hedong man, go to save him?" Dong Xi stood up and bowed with his fists. "General, Dong Xi is willing to go."

"A thousand miles of rushing, it is my cavalry director. Why are you, an infantryman, joining in the fun?" Ma Chao stood up slowly, stood side by side with Dong Xi, and bowed. "General, in my opinion, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. No matter how close the guard camp or the righteous camp, you don't have to bring cavalry. The infantry is too slow and cannot keep up, and it will only drag you down."

"Is the cavalry awesome?" Lu Su stood up and said slowly: "The infantry just doesn't ride horses. If there is a horse, it may not be worse than the cavalry. General, Lu Su is not talented, and he is a little stubborn and is willing to follow the general in person."

Quan Rou was not willing to be outdone and stood up. "That's right, are the cavalry great? Someone can also ride and shoot. Although he is not as brave as General Ma, he is still more than enough to be a knight."

"Ah--" Seeing that he was the target of public criticism, Ma Chao raised his eyebrows. "Did you do it on purpose? Is this going to save people, don't joke, okay?"

Sun Ce waved his hand and signaled everyone to be calm. "Meng Qi didn't mean that, don't be too sensitive. It's true that cavalry is more suitable for rushing thousands of miles. This is how I lead the cavalry first, waiting for an opportunity to seize grain. Fengxiao, you rushed to Pei County, dispatched in the middle, prepare food and weapons, and wait for me to notify you at any time. Boren (Quanrou), you follow the sacrificial wine to ensure his safety as the top priority. Zijing, in the Yuan Dynasty, you led your troops to rush Lu State, wait for an opportunity to enter Rencheng, and cut off Cao Ang's retreat. If you have the chance, we will eat Cao Ang's troops."

Lu Su and Dong Xi smiled knowingly and bowed to take the order. The battle in Pugupi was successful. They proved their abilities and got the opportunity to act alone as they wished. Quan Rou saw it and sighed secretly. The opportunity slipped away from her hands again.

Sun Ce finally said to Han Dang: "Uncle Yi, you have to work harder. Go back and tell your father, ask him to prepare for a counterattack, and let Yuan Tan learn about the methods of our father and son."

Han Dang was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly.

"Everyone, are there any unknown things? If not, now return to the camp and prepare. The cavalry will set off early tomorrow morning, and the others will attack in turn according to the deployment."
