Yuan Shao divided his troops and sent Tuo Yi and Xun Yan to the south again amazed the military planners. It has to be said that this is a very exquisite tactic, which not only cuts off Sun Jian's retreat, has the effect of blocking and helping him, and has the effect of attacking and rescuing him. It is necessary to force Sun Ce to reinforce, give full play to his military advantage and fight for the initiative.

However, with the experience of the last time, the military planners were not so panicked. While praising the exquisiteness of this plan, they quickly entered the role and began to analyze the possibility of success. After a heated discussion, they finally came up with a somewhat sad result.

This plan can be surprising and difficult to win.

There are two main reasons:

First, Junyi City has sufficient food and reserved a year of grain and weapons, which were all prepared before the epidemic. After the epidemic, considering that Sun Ce's ability to move was weakened, it might not be able to rescue. Information from all aspects also shows that Yuan Shao was likely to take Junyi to the road, so he squeezed out some grain from his teeth and sent it to Junyi. With Junyi's current grain storage support until the end of the year, he was not panicked. Whether the rear was cut off would not have much impact on Junyi. Unless Sun Ce's main force was defeated by Yuan Shao and Junyi City was an isolated city, Junyi would not show any signs of unstable morale.

First, it is still late winter and early spring, and there are at least two months left to harvest winter wheat. Even if Kuo Yi and Xun Yan arrive in Xu County, it will be useless, unless they plan to feed the horses with wheat seedlings. Xu County has 30,000 military farm soldiers, who are concentrated in several surrounding counties such as Xu County, Changshe, Yanling, etc. Even if the combat effectiveness of military farm soldiers is slightly worse, it will not be a problem to stick to it for a month, which is enough to support the arrival of reinforcements.

If you can't win quickly, there will be few choices left. You will either destroy the wheat fields and harm others and harm yourself; you will either siege the city and wait for the wheat to ripen, and use the wheat from the farm as military rations for military rations. Before the wheat is ripe, they either transport grain from Junyi or collect it on the spot. Yingchuan has recovered well in recent years, and as long as they are willing to rob the skins, they can still collect some food. However, in this way, Yuan Shao's reputation in Yingchuan will become bad, and the people of Yingchuan will further turn to Sun Ce.

Considering that Xun Yan is from Yingchuan, this possibility should be unlikely. After all, Ruying is one, and the Ruying faction is the foundation of Yuan Shao. Unless he is crazy and decides to break up with the Ruying people, he will not make such a choice. Sending Xun Yan and Tuo Yi to accompany him should have this consideration. Of course, anything can happen on the battlefield. Tuo Yi is really anxious, and Xun Yan may not be able to stop him, so there is still a military plan to suggest Sun Ce to attack as soon as possible to avoid Yingchuan suffering.

The counties around Xu County are the places with the most talents. Several of the military plans present come from these three counties, including Guo Jia himself.

Guo Jia and Sun Ce stood behind the crowd, listened to the talk of the military planners, smiled at each other, and turned around to the stairs. Since the military planners were not in a mess, they did not need to appear to take charge of the overall situation, so it would be beneficial to let the military planners experience more. The two sat down on the second floor. Tea was prepared on the case table under the corridor, and the cups and plates were arranged neatly and meticulously, and even the distance between the cups and the case was measured by a ruler.

Sun Ce saw it and laughed spontaneously. Zhuge Liang was born with caution. He was a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he was not the same type as Pang Tong. They needed to use it differently.

"It seems that the killing of Hu Ling has worked." Guo Jia took his seat, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"It's because of Xun Yan?"

"Well, of course, this is not just the purpose of Ren Xun Yan as a general. The Ruying faction needs to control military power, which is a good opportunity. With Que Yi, the number one general in Hebei, Xun Yan can learn a lot of practical experience. If he wins, he can divide the credit. If he loses, he will bear it. If he has a small risk and a large profit, he will basically make a stable profit without losing."

"Scholars can calculate. Whose idea do you think this is?"

"No matter who's idea, my uncle's shadow must be behind it." Guo Jia sighed with emotion and turned the teacup in his hand. "In fact, it doesn't matter who it is. This is the common wish of the scholars of Ruying. Yingchuan is a narrow place, and it is also a place of war. This has been the case since the Warring States Period. In order to survive and reproduce, it has to be together. It is difficult to succeed with just one person. Just like the Xun family in Yingyin, if it were not for Chen Zhonggong, Xu County, how could it be today? General, Ling Zun is the general of the chariot and cavalry, you have already been appointed as the marquis, and you are the general of Zhenbei, and you will be justified in the fight. More scholars will come soon. You must be mentally prepared."

Sun Ce sipped tea and looked slightly. It was rare that Guo Jia spoke so implicitly, but he still understood Guo Jia's thoughts. The court's preference for Zhou Yu and the Jingzhou faction made him feel pressure. Zhang Hong also made him a title of the Marquis of the Township, but Xun You did not even mention it. The edict clearly stated that it was the meaning of suppressing the Yingchuan people.

"You write a letter to Chen Changwen to see if he is interested in becoming an official. Yang Xiu went to Yuzhang, and I was missing someone in charge of internal affairs."

"General, Chen Changwen is indeed a talent, but he is Xun Wenruo's son-in-law."

"It's okay, I dare to use Xun You, but I dare not use Chen Qun?" Sun Ce smiled. "Where did Xun Chen go? If you can contact him, I want to meet him."

Guo Jia smiled. "Okay, I'll find a way to contact him."

"The world is very big." Sun Ce raised his teacup and signaled to Guo Jia with deep consciousness. "It's bigger than you think, enough for me, Chinese scholars to dance."

Guo Jia felt a little embarrassed and raised the teacup with both hands.

Everyone is smart. When it comes to this, they all know the other party’s intentions. There is no need to say anything more, so they tacitly changed the topic. Guo Jia said: "General, judging from this edict, the influence of the party members in the court is quite large. The emperor is constrained by him, and it is difficult for the emperor to truly form an alliance with the general. Only by defeating Yuan Shao can the emperor truly suppress the party members. Yuan Shao came to the north, and it is beneficial to victory quickly and not to last longer. He is likely to mobilize the party members in the court and force the emperor to send troops to Nanyang. Whether Xu Shu can defend Wu Pass is crucial."

"You mean Huangfu Song?"

"That's right. Although Huangfu Yishi, the Northern Emperor, always admired the party members. Huangfu Song pacified the Yellow Turbans, but was framed by the castration and was dismissed from his post and households. Later, it was the help of the party members that he was able to make a comeback. Although he was not on the party member list, he regarded himself as a party member. Now he teaches the emperor's military learning and has the opportunity to advise the emperor."

Sun Ce pondered and repeatedly considered. He believed Guo Jia's judgment, but he felt that Xu Shu was enough to defend Wu Pass, and there seemed to be no need to increase troops. Huang Zhong had already led his troops to Luyang, and Nanyang had limited mobile troops available, and there were not many troops that could be adjusted. Besides, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others were dragging him down, and Huangfu Song alone would not play any role.

"Contact with Huang Yi, Han Sui, Ma Teng Zai Ming, Huangfu Song should not trust them, and it is more likely to let Lu Bu hold the horse."

"Here." Guo Jia said again: "Yuan Shao's division of troops is a good opportunity. We cannot let him siege the city so simply. We should tempt him to take the initiative to attack the city and kill and kill a lot of people."
