"Yeah, cough!" Yuan Quan coughed lightly next door, and then there was no news again.

Guo Jia's face changed slightly, she smiled awkwardly, and then laughed again: "Madam Yuan doesn't have to be like this. I am a very fair person and will never get tired of the old and old. When it comes to kitchens, the lady deserves the first place, and the other ladies can only compete for the second place."

"I can't afford to praise the wine. For you, Mrs. Zhong is the first. Don't make a mistake, it's hard for me to do it."

"Uh... the lady is right, and the words are right." Guo Jia bowed his hands repeatedly to beg for mercy.

Xiao Qiao saw it and was so happy that she smiled. She put down the food table, blinked at Sun Ce, said, "Your Majesty, use it slowly", pulled Da Qiao back to the cabin, and joking around Yuan Quan, with an extremely intimate relationship.

Sun Ce picked up a chopstick fish, dipped it in some soup, put it in a bowl, and then pushed the rest in front of Guo Jia. However, Guo Jia did not pick up the meat, lifted the fish gills, took out the fish brain, dipped it in some sauce, and put it in his mouth.

"The king doesn't know that when eating fish, you have to eat the head and tail first to taste the taste, and then eat it in large pieces. If you eat the fish body first and have a full belly, you will have no interest in eating the head and tail again, which is really a waste."

Sun Ce picked out the fish bones and threw them in the plate beside him. "I don't know who is the fish head and who is the fish tail in Fengxiao's eyes?"

"Yizhou should be the head of the fish, and Jizhou should be the tail of the fish."

Sun Ce slowly savored the fish without saying a word. Yizhou is the fish head, Jizhou is the fish tail, and Guanzhong's court is naturally the fish body. The world is a game of chess, and Guo Jia unknowingly became accustomed to the overall thinking. This is a good result.

"Eat fish head first?"

"Of course, the fish head is smart, and it will not taste good when it is cold. You should be while it is hot." Guo Jia said while taking apart the fish head: "Have you ever seen killing fish?"

Sun Ce smiled but said nothing. He regarded the boat as his home for so long, of course he had seen killing fish. Killing fish is very simple. He knocked the head with a stick, knocked the fish out of the air, then scraped the scales and broke the belly, cleaned the internal organs, cleaned it and put it in the pot. After the skillful treatment, the fish was still alive and jumped in the pot.

Guo Jia is very skilled in his technique, but he often eats fish heads. In a short while, the fish heads are broken up. The bones are bones and gills are clear, and the fish brain is sent into his mouth. "Tap the head with brute force on the outside and cook the head with high heat on the inside. Once the heat arrives, the head will naturally be scattered and mature."

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. When something happened to Zhu Jianping, Guo Jia's first reaction was that Xi Zhicai was making trouble. Although he did not object to rest for a year, being forced to train was very embarrassing for Guo Jia, so he kept thinking about how to repay Xi Zhicai. This combat plan should be designed based on this idea.

Although he was also annoyed, he was not as sensitive as Guo Jia, and he would not fight Xi Zhicai. It was Guo Jia's responsibility. Yizhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and he cannot be anxious. Zhou Yu and Huang Zhong's current progress is already very rare, and urging them will only backfire. Moreover, Yuan Tan has launched a army of 200,000 to compete for Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and the situation is even more urgent. It is really not a wise move to transfer the main force to Yizhou at this time.

Guo Jia is a smart person, so of course he will consider these things and has his reasons. It is not too late to listen to Guo Jia’s reasons before making comments.

Yuan Quan walked out, followed by the bridge behind him, holding a food table in one hand. "Don't speak, don't speak, especially when eating fish. Since you like fish brains, next time you make a bowl of fish brain soup for you to taste, let's just put it in one place today and eat a bowl of egg custard."

Yuan Quan said, and took down the bowl on the table and placed it in front of Sun Ce and Guo Jia. Two bowls per person, one bowl of egg custard, and one bowl of fish balls and water shield soup. The egg custard is golden and tender, the fish balls are white, and the water shield is green, and it looks pleasant to the eyes. Yuan Quan lowered his head and said softly: "Since you are talking about it, don't eat fish, be careful of fish bones." As he said that, he picked up a piece of meat from Sun Cegang, and Guo Jiagang took away the fish that he had eaten.

"Oh..." Guo Jia was very regretful. "I still have fish tails but haven't eaten them."

Yuan Quan ignored him, took Qiao Xiao and returned to the cabin, and brought it to the cabin door. Sun Ce picked up the dagger (a spoon), scooped a fish ball, and put it in his mouth. The fish balls were very elastic, but not old. Sun Ce liked it very much and repeatedly advised Guo Jia to try it. Guo Jia also tasted one, and was very curious.

"Is this a fish too?"

"Their new method is to choose fat fish, peel the scales and remove the thorns, and beat them hard until the fish meat becomes crumb and skews into balls. It is as delicious as the fish and does not have the risk of fish bones. It is especially suitable for children to eat. Those kids in my family like this dish the most. Your Madam Zhong has also tasted it, and she also asked how it was done, but hasn't made it for you?"

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "She is so busy, how can she have the heart to cook this kind of dish." He scooped a fish ball into his mouth, took a bite, and nodded repeatedly. "This is a good way to cook, and the fish should be eaten like this. It must be beaten to taste good."

"Then how do you plan to beat it?"

"Before beating, of course, you must first remove the head and tail, peel the scales and remove the bones, and then the way of the Holy King and the method of the ancestors, beat them one by one and only stop them by pounding them into meat."

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing and put the egg custard delivered to his mouth back. He didn't want to laugh out loud, and it was full of things, so he still had to worry about cleaning up.

"What should I do with the fish tail?"

"As the saying goes, one pound of fish is ten pounds of force, but it is in the water. After the water comes out, the power is limited. Yuan Tan fishes out of the lake and drains his own water. He is just trying to die. What is water? People, ordinary people. Qingzhou and Yanzhou have fought for several years, and with the great epidemic that year, all ordinary people can escape. There are only a few left, almost all families with forts guarding themselves. These people are short-sighted and reluctant to leave the small profits in front of them, or want to have both fish and bear's paws, so they resist until now. Since this is the case, let them support Yuan Tan's 200,000 troops to see how many months they can last."

Guo Jia took a sip of the soup. "The king thinks, how long can Zhu Ran stay?"

Sun Ce thought about it carefully. Zhu Ran was known for his good defence in history. He was besieged by famous generals such as Xiahou Shang and Zhang for half a year. After following him for a few years, he worked very seriously and didn't talk much, but thought carefully. Although it was the first time to lead troops to fight, defending the city was different from field battles, and it also tested his coordination ability rather than adaptability. The 5,000 people under his command were all Jiangdong soldiers, well-trained and highly executed. He didn't need to do his job personally, and he had enough food and weapons, so it should be fine to guard for six months.

"Six months."

"A 200,000 army, plus tens of thousands of war horses, consume more than one million stones of grain every month. How many months can the families of Qingyan and Yanzhou last?" Guo Jia raised his chopsticks. "At most six months, these 200,000 army can eat their stored grains completely. Even if they want to farm, they will have to wait until seven or eight months before they can get a harvest. At the beginning, they may have united together. When they find that they cannot win quickly, their consumption cannot be reduced, they may not be so united."

Guo Jia finished the soup in a few sips and breathed a sigh of satisfaction. "Shi Yuan's move is wonderful to retreat as an advance. After this battle, he can easily deal with Qingzhou." He tilted his head and thought. "King, who do you think will come to plead at that time? Teng Dan or Guan Ke?"

[m]      Sun Ce sighed. Pang Tong's move was indeed very good. Shen You had been taking Qingzhou for several years, but the Qingzhou family had not cooperated very much. They were still willing to support Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi. The reason was that they could not save the land in their hands. Yuan Tan was on the side, and these aristocratic families were not strong enough. Shen You didn't want to rob them openly, so he had to endure it first. Now that Yuan Tan is attacking, Pang Tong designed this tactical plan to give these Qingzhou families a chance to jump out, first let Yuan Tan's army exhaust their vitality, and then he would have to deal with them.

It's good, it's a bit damaged, and it's a snake out of the hole.

Pang Tong designed and Zhu Ran took the lead, both of these kids were very successful.

Sun Ce and Guo Jia chatted while eating the soup, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Guo Jia only analyzed the basic framework of the plan. The specific analysis will be formed by the Military Advisory Office and sent to Sun Ce and relevant personnel for review. If necessary, debates will be held, which cannot be decided by the Military Advisory Office. Overall, Sun Ce expressed his approval of Guo Jia's plan. Qingzhou seems dangerous but is actually safe, but Yanzhou may be in trouble. Cao Ang could not control the Yanzhou family and was controlled by the Yanzhou family. The Yanzhou family also had no land and was very resistant to him and the new policy.

Guo Jia's solution has two key points: one is to let the Yanzhou family choose themselves, whether to continue to be neutral, or be Yuan Tan's front pawn; the other is to mobilize the people of Yuzhou to protect their homes, especially those who fled from Qingzhou and Yanzhou. In order to survive, they had to leave their hometowns and come to Yuzhou. Now, the aristocratic families in Qingzhou and Yanzhou have not let them go, and they want to occupy their new homes and destroy their newly stable life. Can they tolerate it?

After several years of deep cultivation, the aristocratic families in Yuzhou have been cleaned up, and the rest have surrendered. Ordinary people have enjoyed the benefits of the new policy and have more sense of masters. In addition, the public opinion foundation laid by Zhuge Liang in Yuzhou not long ago, as long as the aristocratic families in Yanzhou support Yuan Tan and advance to Yuzhou, these people will never sit idly by and issue orders. Each county will protect its own troops.

Although Lu Fan, Lu Meng and Jiang Qin were transferred, they were full of favors. It is hard to say whether Yuan Tan can defeat Cao Ang. It is definitely not a problem to hold on for a while and wait for rescue.

Even when he hit Yizhou, Guo Jia did not want to use the most elite central army, but let the navy commander Gan Ning take action. Gan Ning was originally from Yizhou, and had been circulating in the Yangtze River for many years. He was a famous Jinfan thief. Now he brought the tower ship and the elite troops back, cooperated with Zhou Yu and Huang Zhong to fight, and broke through the middle road. Cao Cao was probably scared and sweated, which took a lot of brains.
