Under the sunshade tent, Sun Ce sat in the middle, his helmet was placed aside, his armor was open, Zhuge Liang and Lu Yi held a palm fan and fanned the wind. The battle in the summer was really painful, and he was sweating even if he didn't move. Because the golden silk and brocade armor was not taken off for a long time, it was wet and dry, and it was wet and wet, and a thick layer of salt frost was accumulated.

Lu Su, Dong Xi and Quan Rou walked in quickly and bowed to Sun Ce and Guo Jia. Sun Ce waved his hand and asked them to signal them to take their seats, and let them talk about the battle process. These contents will be told to all generals at the rank of the commander level and above during the military discussion. Now he will listen to Lu Su and others' personal feelings first.

Lu Su and the other two sat on Hu's seat, Lu Su was sitting in the upper head, Dong Xi and Quan Rou sat in the lower head. Sun Ce glanced at Dong Xi. Dong Xi looked bad, and he was stuttering his neck, looking unhappy. Sun Ce didn't say anything. He knew that Dong Xi had lost hundreds of people, which was the price of facing the Arctic Cavalry. If it weren't for the preparation plan in advance and staring at Yuan Shao's central army, the Arctic Cavalry would retreat in time as soon as it was launched, and the losses would never be just that. If Fu Ying was not careful, he would have to be broken into the formation.

"This time the Yuan Dynasty's troops are responsible for seducing the enemy and facing the armored cavalry directly. The deepest feeling is to tell the story of the Yuan Dynasty." Lu Su said.

Sun Ce looked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi was stunned and quickly stood up. Sun Ce waved his hand and signaled him to sit down and talk. Dong Xi sat down, stroked his knees with both hands, and considered the words. "The armored cavalry is indeed very powerful, especially the frontal protection ability is very high, and even infantry can't even hit with a spear. In my opinion, the armored cavalry should start from the side and behind, especially the rear. The armored cavalry runs slowly, and can catch up with them with a light cavalry. The armored cavalry only uses a spear, without a crossbow, and is heavy in body, and has inflexible steering..."

Dong Xi talked about the advantages and disadvantages of the Arctic Rider in one breath. It can be seen that his loss was in vain and he gained a lot of experience and lessons. After obtaining Sun Ce's consent, he asked Fu Ying and the surviving spearmen to come in to report. Fu Ying was the general who was directly commanded. He was only a dozen steps closest to the Arctic Rider. Some of the spearmen even fought with the Arctic Rider, which had the most direct and specific experience, which was different from Dong Xi's emphasis on overall tactics.

After listening to their report, Sun Ce asked Lu Yi to get a few glasses of wine, each spearman enjoyed a glass of wine, and gave Fu Ying a new knife. Fu Ying and the spearmen were so grateful that Dong Xi was also very excited, and the bad luck on his face was wiped out.

"Although the armored cavalry is not omnipotent, it is the direction of the development of the cavalry. You must pay close attention to it. We lack the source of war horses, and facing the armored cavalry is an inevitable dilemma. Every sacrifice is a valuable experience. You should summarize it carefully and find more ways to find ways to restrain the armored cavalry, reduce casualties, and not let the blood of any soldier flow in vain."

"Here!" Fu Ying and others bowed to take the order and retreated.

Sun Ce tapped his leg armor lightly with his fingers, pondered for a moment, and looked at Dong Xi and others. "What do you think?"

Lu Su and others looked at Guo Jia, but Guo Jia signaled them to say first. Lu Su and Dong Xi, Quan Rou gave in. Dong Xi had already said that Quan Rou did not participate in the war directly and was unwilling to show off her ugly things. Lu Su asked Lu Su to say first. Lu Su was polite and began to express his views. He didn't say much, but he was very organized and pointed at the advantages and disadvantages of riding with nails.

"The armored cavalry has strong armor protection, and ordinary crossbows are difficult to break. Even infantry fighting with spears is difficult to cause damage. It is indeed a sharp weapon for the formation. It is supplemented by light cavalry assault, so the lethality will be stronger. Although the speed and agility are not as good as those of light cavalry, it is difficult for light cavalry to defeat them head-on, and the situation is relatively passive. At present, only the crossbows can defeat and restrain armored cavalry, but the crossbows move slowly and it takes time to set up the formation. I believe that Yuan Shao will be able to master the cracking method soon. As for the current situation, we should fight quickly, otherwise we will have more dreams and our advantages will be weakened."

Sun Ce turned to look at Guo Jia. Lu Su's words mean something. In addition to experiencing the combat power of the Arctic Cavalry at close range, Lu Su's mission today is to show weakness and lure the enemy, giving Yuan Shao a little sweetness, so that he feels that he still has a chance to win and will not choose to retreat as soon as possible.

The two most likely directions of Yuan Shao's retreat are Luoyang and Puyang. Compared with the two, Yuan Shao's entry into Luoyang is the greatest threat.

Luoyang is relatively close, only more than 300 miles, and he doesn't need to go to Luoyang at all. As long as he occupies Xingyang, it will be safe. Although Huang Zhong forced him up, he did not have enough troops and did not have a way to break the armored cavalry in the field. If Yuan Shao wanted to advance west, he would not be able to stop him. If he wanted to stop Yuan Shao, he just needed to find a suitable terrain to form an array. The nearest terrain was Cross Valley, and Xingyang went west. The first choice was Cross Valley. Yuan Shao also considered this and sent Xun Yan to set up a formation in Cross Valley to refuse to defend. Huang Zhong had to defeat Xun Yan first to occupy Cross Valley.

It is not easy to defeat Xun Yan's position. Xun Yan didn't command his troops for a long time, but he made great progress. He did not dare to go out of the camp during the Battle of Longyuan. During the Battle of Huangshui, he was already fighting on the road, occupying the favorable map of Cross Valley, and his troops were equal to Huang Zhong. The possibility of Huang Zhong's victory was slim. If Yuan Shao led the main force to advance westward again, even if he sent some people to reinforce, Huang Zhong would have to retreat to Xingyang.

Sun Ce wanted to delay and buy time for Huang Zhong, but Lu Su reminded him that Yuan Shao had the armored horse in his hand and the six thousand seven-hu cavalry. Once he found a way to restrain the crossbow, the situation would be even more unfavorable to them. Yuan Shao had a small chance of turning the tables, but it was easy to leave. In this way, the preparation he made would be in vain and there would be endless troubles.

Sun Ce looked at Guo Jia. Guo Jia smiled. "The most important thing to use a plan is to understand your opponent. How to understand your opponent? Look at his past, especially his childhood experience. The country is easy to change, but his nature is difficult to change. Most of the human nature is formed in childhood. Even if the situation changes after adulthood changes, some things are still rooted in his bloodline and it will be difficult to change in this life."

He shook the feather fan and glanced at Lu Su and others leisurely. "What was Yuan Shao's childhood experience like? He was a concubine's son. What was the biggest difference between a concubine's son and a legitimate son? He had no dignity. He was born in the Yuan family of four generations and three dukes, and everyone admired him, but this had nothing to do with him. Glory only belonged to the legitimate son. Later, he became Yuan Cheng's legitimate son, Li Yuanli's son-in-law, and the leader of the world's heroes. All the glory that he could not imagine when he was young became reality. Then he had no knot in his heart? No. In his own heart, the identity of a concubine's son will never change. As long as others see him, he will feel that others are laughing at him as a concubine's son."

"So, how can we prove that we are no worse than those legitimate sons? Defeat them and defeat their heirs." Guo Jia looked at Sun Ce and smiled slightly. "General, if Yuan Shao is not able to defeat you, he may endure and be complacent, but if he has the opportunity to defeat you, he will never give up. Luoyang, he may go, but he is more willing to defeat the general and enter Luoyang as a winner rather than a loser. This is not only a victory or defeat, but also a honor and disgrace. It is not only for the general, but also for Yuan Gaolu, who has always regarded him as a slave."
