Although Zhen Mi was surprised, but she was too weak in actual combat and failed to win. She repeated the mistakes of Zhao Kuo, a famous general in Zhao State. Seeing that she was powerless, Sun Ce sent her back to the cabin to avoid being embarrassed in front of others. When she returned to her cabin, Zhen Mi relaxed a lot. Although she intended to let the maid go beyond the chef, Sun Ce refused. Zhen Mi had to give up the rest of her courage and tried all her skills. Finally, she asked Sun Ce to take over the weapon and solve the urgent problem.

After this battle, she knew Sun Ce's strength. Although she was not as good as Jiujie, she was so tired that she was so tired that she fell asleep.

After the cleaning, Sun Ce came out of Zhen Mi's cabin and returned to the main cabin. Guo Jia was sitting in front of the case, yawning. He had not slept all night and had been waiting for news from Shen You and others. Although he took a nap in the middle, he was not sleeping soundly and his face was a little pale. Seeing Sun Ce come in, he knocked on the case and just received the official document.

"all the best."

Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the official document to read it carefully. The official document was written by Shen You, with vigorous strokes and flying dragons and phoenixes. You can imagine Shen You's spirit and spirit when he wrote.

"It seems that Gongsun Du is too confident."

"The frog in the well is not enough to discuss." Guo Jia looked at him disdain. "Taishi Ci, Gan Ning is returning, we can set off at any time. The wind-seeker said that there will be a southeast wind this afternoon."

Sun Ce nodded and replied. "Okay, then you go and have a rest. I will have to make up for it later."

Guo Jia stood up, raised his sleeves, and walked to the door. Sun Ce called him again. "Fengxiao, have you ever heard that there is a Yan Zhao lineage in the art of the room?"

"Yes." Guo Jia suddenly became energetic. "Are you interested in trying Miss Zhao?"

"I just want to ask, is there a style of Li Dai Tao Zombie in the Yanzhao lineage? What is the origin of?"

Guo Jia stared at Sun Ce for a while and couldn't help laughing loudly. He laughed for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Why, Junhou wants to try the male style?"

Sun Ce was stunned, then suddenly realized and couldn't help laughing. In fact, this allusion was not uncommon, but he had preconceived ideas and thought it was a bit wrong. He waved his hand and signaled that Guo Jia could leave. However, Guo Jia was intrigued and pulled Sun Ce with a slutty look on his face. "Why, Mrs. Zhen asked you to leave the back court?"

Sun Ce rolled his eyes and raised his legs. Guo Jia was ready, flashing aside and said with a smile: "General, Mrs. Zhen is from a wealthy family. Even if she knows something, she will be able to speak. If you really want to do it, it is still the Zhao girl in our military planning department. If you are interested, I can arrange it to ensure that they are clean..."

"Get out!" Sun Ce remembered Zhen Mi's little mouth, and he was moved a little. He pushed Guo Jia out and closed the cabin door. Guo Jia left with a wicked smile. Sun Ce was also speechless. This guy was born to be slutty and had no serious time. Among the few concubines, the only ones that made him awe were Yuan Quan and Huang Yueying. He dared to make jokes from others. No wonder, in the eyes of people of this era, concubines can even give up, let alone make a few jokes.

It is the most difficult to accept the kindness of a beauty. Such a good woman, I am so virtuous and capable of committing herself to her concubine.

The outcome was decided, Sun Ce was relieved, and returned to the cabin, washed up, and fell asleep. Although he slept very late, his biological clock was always very accurate. When it was dawn, he woke up on time and went to the deck to practice boxing.

As the sun rises, the little black mountain on the east side of the harbor wakes up from the morning light and is inlaid with a golden edge. The sea is illuminated by the sun, and the floating light leaps gold and is dazzling.

At noon, Gan Ning and Taishi Ci returned. After the placement was completed, they went to Sun Ce's ship to report the situation. This battle was not good. In Gan Ning's words, it was mainly to rush to go on a road and there was almost no real battle. Liu Fu slept like a dead hunter, and he never expected that they would attack the city. When Gan Ning rushed into the county temple, he was still trembling in the bed. Seeing his cowardly look, Gan Ning had no desire to kill him, for fear of dirtying his knife.

Sun Ce was also surprised. It has been more than a month since he arrived in Qingzhou. As the garrison of Da County, Liu Fu was so careless that he had not even sent a scout to Qingzhou? Since that's the case, when he arrived in Da County, Liu Fu should be more vigilant, why didn't he even strengthen the city defense?

Who did Gongsun Du use? Like Gongsun Zan, he used peddlers and pawns, and there were few real talents?

Sun Ce felt that he had a far from understanding Liaodong and Gongsun Du, and needed to strengthen the collection of information. But this was all money. Each time he sent a detailed work, it would cost at least hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. Liaodong was vast and sparsely populated. Even if he focused his energy on Xiangping, it would take at least seven or eight people to add up the light and darkness. If he added bribes and the purchase cost would be unbalanced without tens of millions.

In the evening, the wind was blowing in the southeast, and Sun Ce set sail and rushed to Youbeiping.

Compared with the Western Han Dynasty, the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty had significantly reduced, and Youzhou is a typical example.

There were sixteen cities in Youbeiping during the Western Han Dynasty, only four cities remained in the Eastern Han Dynasty, fourteen cities in the Western Han Dynasty, and only five cities remained in the Eastern Han Dynasty. All of them were basically lost to the north of Yanshan Mountain, and they became pastures for the Wuhuan and Xianbei people.

The reason for this situation was both political and economic factors. Politically, Confucianism was the dominant one, and she advocated conquering people with virtue, and basically gave up the conquest by force. Dou Xian pacified the Northern Huns out of his personal selfishness. For this reason, there was a fierce conflict with other ministers, and Yuan An was the backbone of them. Dou Xian later failed to fight for power and was sentenced to death. Yuan An and other dove factions gained power and the policy of appeaseing the Hu people has been postponed.

In fact, even without Confucianism, the Eastern Han Dynasty could not be tough and its economic foundation was weak. The Eastern Han Dynasty was based on the economic support of the powerful. The powerful families and families were extremely powerful, and the country's financial situation was always inferior to that of the Western Han Dynasty. Dou Xian pacified the Northern Huns and Yanran tied stones, which only achieved his personal fame and had no significance for the country. The Northern Huns declined, and the Wuhuan people and Xianbei people gradually emerged, especially the Xianbei people. A few years later, they became a great man during the He Emperor period. The court was unable to conquer. They had to cede 270 million from Qingxu every year as a reward to appease the Hu people.

But appeasement is never the fundamental way. When he was unable to conquer others, he was just deceiving himself. The Xianbei grew stronger, especially after Tan Shihuai became the King of Xianbei. At that time, Emperor Huan of Han was committed to fighting against the Western Qiang, but he was unable to take care of it, so he wanted to appease the Xianbei people in the form of marriage, but was rejected by Tan Shihuai and brought shame to himself. During the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, the court could no longer bear it. In the sixth year of Xiping, the three generals Zang, Xia Yu, Tian Yan and the Xiongnu Shanyu attacked, but was lured by Tan Shihuai into deep, defeated each one, and returned in disgrace.

Fortunately, Tan Shihuai also died soon, and the Xianbei fell into internal strife and the threat to the border was slightly reduced.

The expedition is seeking death, and the comfort is waiting for death. It is impossible to say which one is better. In the absence of the economic foundation of the law, comfort can at least seek temporary peace. 270 million is a lot, but the expenses for the expedition are even greater and it may not be possible to win. The comfort eventually gained the upper hand. Yuan An established the Yuan family of four generations and three dukes, and the policy of comfort was also inherited by those ministers who obeyed Confucianism. The Wuhuan people and Xianbei people were also happy to see it and were very grateful to the Yuan family. Yuan Shao was able to get their support, and Liu Yu did not dare to turn against Yuan Shao directly, all of which were caused by this.

For the time being, the best way to deal with these nomadic peoples, which are mainly cavalry, is to break the cavalry. War horses are the key to the key. Without enough war horses, you cannot win by relying on two legs. You can defend, lose sight of one thing, be exhausted, attack, and be unable to reach the limit, and waste money.

"Ziyi, what are your plans?" Sun Ce patted the railings and looked at the horizon at the end of the vast sea, feeling very stressed. Until now, he had no confidence in winning the Youzhou strategy. This time was very inappropriate and too forced.

Taishici was prepared and said calmly: "Fight to fight and fight with others. Use his own way to treat others."

Sun Ce nodded and signaled Taishi Ci to explain in detail.

Taishici said: "At present, we do not have the strength to severely damage the Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people, let alone wipe out them out. I am willing to defend the situation. I plan to take the initiative to recruit some of the border children and go deep into the grassland. These Hu people are not always together. They are scattered everywhere most of the time. As long as we seize the opportunity, we can defeat them. The biggest difficulty is only one: how to find their traces."

Sun Ce deeply felt the same. The Military Planning Office also proposed the tactic of using war to support war, which is not new. This was what Huo Qubing swept the Huns. Facts proved that this was the best way to deal with nomadic peoples. However, this method has a fatal weakness. It is too accidental and in the vast grassland. Once the target cannot be found in time, or the target cannot be found but cannot defeat the opponent, and seize the spoils to supplement the supplies, it is likely that he will lose without fighting.

A genius like Huo Qubing, his success was also based on major casualties. Every time he went to the battle, his losses would be more than half. Even so, Shigong Tai said that he was lucky. His luck was a little worse, and he might not be able to wait for his illness to die, and he might be sacrificed directly on the grassland.

"You're going to solve this problem in this way?"

"One depends on endurance and wisdom." Taishici said: "The children of border counties suffer from the Hu people and can endure hunger and work hard, no less than the Hu people. As long as they are given weapons, equipment, and some food, they dare to fight with the Hu people with their lives. The armor and armor made by the Mu Academy can make us fight against the masses with only a small amount. If they can develop some easy-to-carry food, it can not only extend our combat time without increasing too much weight, the chance of success will be even greater. I roughly estimated that Lu Long has more than 600 miles to Yangle City, from Lu Long to the north, or from Yangle to the west, it can penetrate into the grassland for about four or five hundred miles. One turn, one thousand miles apart, and it takes ten days to march. Even if there is no harvest in the middle, as long as the supplies we carry can support fifteen days, the possibility of defeat due to insufficient supplies will be greatly reduced."

Taishici turned around and looked at Sun Ce and said earnestly: "Lord, I want to invite three thousand cavalry to a year's food."

Gan Ning laughed. "Taishi Ziyi, you are so angry. Do you want me to be the lieutenant of the baggage camp for you?"

Sun Ce thought about it and patted the railing. "That's not necessary, as long as you are willing to be a fisherman."—
