The Hejia Manor is about thirty miles away from Wancheng, which is exactly the one-day itinerary for a day of marching and the limit of the normal reconnaissance range of the scout. But Sun Ce knew that Cao Cao in the city wanted the other party's life as he did at any time, so he did not dare to slack off. He ordered the personal guard camp to closely monitor Wancheng and inform any movement in time.

Sun Ce's decision to assign the scout camp to the command of the personal guard camp. The soldiers of the scout camp are all elite soldiers with rich experience and strong personal abilities, and there is a coincidence with the personal guards. The scout camp is assigned to assign the scout camp to the command of the personal guard camp, which invisibly added a part of the elite, and it allows him to directly grasp his confidence and does not need to go through an intermediate link.

From the perspective of modern management, within the scope of capabilities, the flatter the management, the higher the efficiency, and the less information loss.

Sun Ce immediately stood up. "How many people are there?"

"It's not clear. It's dark, and the other party sent cavalry to clear the field in advance. We can't get close to it and can't see clearly."

"When did the cavalry clear the field?"

"Just shortly before the people left the city, at most one meal was separated."

Sun Ce nodded and ordered Lin Feng to invite Huang Zhong, Zhou Yu and Huang Chengyan to discuss matters. The other party suddenly left the city. Seeing that the situation was urgent, the scout had no time to inquire about the detailed information and warned him first. This is a good thing. If you wait until you find out everything before reporting, the time for the Daying reaction will be very limited, and it is easy to be caught off guard by the other party.

However, the simplicity of the information also caused trouble for his judgment. When the other party left the city, where was the target? Should he escape or attack? If it was an attack, would he target Yuan Shu who gathered in Nanzhijue, or attack me outside the He family manor?

It was a last resort to insufficient troops and having to divide the troops. But Sun Ce was not worried about himself, but Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu seemed to have more troops, with more than 10,000 people, which was comparable to Cao Cao, but Yuan Shu himself had limited command experience. Most of his time as the General of the Hu Ben and the Captain of Changshui was wasted on cockfighting and robbing halfway, and he had no practical experience. The last time he stationed in Xinye, the army was outside the city, and he actually went to the city to rest. If Cao Cao attacked him at night again, Yuan Shu might still be defeated with one blow, and maybe even his life would be lost.

Before Zhou Yu and others arrived, the scout sent the second news. The people who came out of Wancheng were heading east, and the target should be Hejia Manor. Of course, it might also turn north and escape from Ye County, but the number of people is still unknown.

Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief. As long as you didn't attack Yuan Shu, it would be fine. Although this guy would die sooner or later, it would not work now.

Zhou Yu arrived first. After listening to the news that Sun Ce reposted, he thought for a while. "Bo Fu, I think something is wrong, so I immediately sent someone to notify the general."

"You mean the attack on us was fake, and the general was real after the attack?"

"It is hard to say who it was to attack, but it is true that the latter general is more dangerous than us." Zhou Yu's eyes were bright. "The soldiers of Jingzhou had just surrendered for a while, and their morale was not high. Without the strong clamping of the general, it would be easy to collapse. Even if Cao Cao did not attack them, once the latter general wanted to support us and lead troops out of the camp, something might happen."

Sun Ce felt it was reasonable. "After sending someone to inform the general, he asked him to stay in the camp, and no matter whether there is an enemy attack or not, he should not leave the camp before dawn."

Zhou Yu shook his head. "You can't say that. The latter general is arrogant. If you say that, he will feel despised and will definitely leave the camp."

Sun Ce scratched his head. Zhou Yu made a point. Yuan Shu was the kind of stubborn person who kept pulling and regressing. Once his temper came up, he would not care about anything. Cao Cao had been with him for many years and knew his weaknesses too well. He used it once last time, and it was not impossible to do it again.

"What should I say?"

"Just say we were prepared and confident to win the more with less. Please feel free to watch the battle and scoop up the formation for you and me."

Sun Ce laughed loudly and held Zhou Yu's shoulder hard. "Gongjin, you're still thinking carefully. Just listen to you, come and hurry up. You dictate and write Shi Yuan, and send someone to send it out after you finish writing."

——

Yuan Shu woke up from his dream, jumped up, and reached out to touch the knife.

The young concubine screamed and rolled down from the bed, not daring to move. Yuan Shu pulled out the long sword and shouted fiercely: "Who is outside?"

"General, it's me." The voice of the personal guard, the slave, came from outside the tent.

"Hu——" Yuan Shu let out a long sigh and cursed: "I didn't stand up in the middle of the night, so I came to see Nai Gong for work?"

"General, the scout sent a message that some people and horses in Wancheng left the city and headed towards Hejia Manor. There were a lot of people, about five or six thousand."

"What?" Yuan Shu pushed out the tent and pulled Qian Nu in. Qian Nu glanced at the concubine and swallowed a secret saliva. "General, the people in Wancheng left the city when the people were determined, and it is likely to arrive soon now. Sun Zhonglang has only more than 2,000 people. If attacked, the consequences will be unimaginable. I am afraid that I will miss the matter, so I came to report immediately and disturb the general. Please forgive me."

Yuan Shu waved his hand and pulled his clothes tightly. The slave carefully walked around the concubine on the ground and took Yuan Shu's cloak to put it on him. Yuan Shu turned around twice, and said, "That short man was insidious. Could it be that he lured me out of the camp and ambush me halfway?"

Qian Nu thought about it and nodded vigorously. "General, this is completely possible."

"But if I don't leave the camp, Sun Ce may be in danger."

Qian Nu nodded even harder. Yuan Shu looked angry and kicked him out. "Your mother, you know how to nod. Get out of here, call Zhang Xun and Chen Yu. In addition, let Lei Bo and Chen Lan scream everyone up and prepare to leave the camp."

The slaughter responded and rolled out. Not long after, the army rushed Lei Bo to arrive first. "General, Chen Lan is gathering troops and can set off at any time." Yuan Shu glanced at him and was very satisfied. "Didn't sleep all night?"

Lei Bo chuckled: "In extraordinary times, we dare not be careless."

Yuan Shu crossed his waist and cursed twice with hatred. "If everyone was as loyal as you, why would Nai Gong be beaten so badly by that short man? A group of idiots, who usually speaks well, are really like a bunch of chickens. If the chickens are anxious, they will scream."

As he was speaking, Chen Yu pushed the tent in, just in time to hear Yuan Shu's words, and suddenly blushed. When Yuan Shu saw it, he knew that he had made up his words. He turned around and shouted to the concubine, "I can't get up, I have to do the important things." He turned around and said to Chen Yu, "Kung Wei, the matter is urgent, it's rude. That... Cao Cao went out of the camp to attack Sun Ce, and we immediately went out to support him."

"Now?" Chen Yu's expression changed immediately. "General, the soldiers are newly surrendered, and they are easy to move and uneasy. If they leave the camp in the middle of the night, it will cause a mutiny..."

Yuan Shu was furious. "Sun Wentai gave me his son, and I can't stand by death and refuse to save him. Stop talking. You stay in the camp, and I will lead my troops to save him."
