Guo Jia's opinion is actually very simple. Didn't Yuan Tan treat Liu Bei as a hidden arrow? Then let's break the hidden arrow first. Liu Bei hid in Cangyuan City forty miles away. He said that it was not far away, and that it was not close. If he wanted to get here, it would take an hour to march quickly, and it would take an hour and a half to march quickly. As the saying goes, if you seek profit for fifty miles, you will fall into the general. The method is half way; if you fight for profit for thirty miles, two-thirds will arrive. When he runs up, we will just come up and strike head-on.

Why did Yuan Tan only regard Liu Bei as Zhongsi and rank behind Zhu Ling? First, because he had few troops, only 5,000 people; second, because the Dongjun soldiers he led were mainly new soldiers. Cao Cao was defeated in Nanyang, and the Dongjun soldiers had lost a lot of elite soldiers. The new soldiers Liu Bei now summoned far inferior to those whom Cao Cao was the leader. He was not a local, and he could not get the support of local tyrants, had no money and was average in equipment, and he had an advantage in dealing with the unruly Black Mountain Army. When encountering real elite soldiers, they had no advantage and could defeat them with one blow.

If you consider that Liu Bei was beaten to escape in Xiaoxian County in the middle of the night, he already had a clear advantage in morale.

Of course there is a risk to do this. Take the initiative to fight Liu Bei, and you cannot be too close to Junyi, otherwise Yuan Tan may reinforce at any time, and it is inevitable to march for more than ten miles. If you consider that they are in the west of the city and want to fight in the east of the city, the total distance is at least twenty miles, which is not much different from Liu Bei. Even so, it is not safe enough. Once you cannot defeat Liu Bei at the first time, Yuan Tan's reinforcements will inevitably be trapped in the attack between Liu Bei and Yuan Tan. Liu Bei is very close to Zhang Miao's camp on the east side of Junyi. If Zhang Miao changes his position and attacks from behind, Sun Ce will undoubtedly be defeated.

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he stared at Sun Ce with a bright look. Sun Ce wanted to fight and decide quickly. He made suggestions for Sun Ce. Now it was time for Sun Ce to choose.

Sun Ce met Guo Jia's gaze and thought about the suggestions Guo Jia gave to Cao Cao in history. He knew that this guy was born a gambler, but he didn't want to gamble now. He exaggerated the danger and did not want him to gamble.

But he decided to take a gamble.

"This plan is just right for me." Sun Ce patted Guo Jia's shoulder. "Notify Mr. Zigang and Gong Du and let them change their defense."

Guo Jia sighed softly. "General, I would rather you choose to wait on the spot."

"The opportunity must not be missed, and the time will not come again." Sun Ce said eight words, signaling Guo Jia not to say anything, and immediately ordered the ministries to prepare. At the same time, he sent someone to inform Zhu Yan of the relevant situation, asking him to pay attention to Zhu Ling's movements and never let Zhu Ling escape from the battlefield. If possible, it is best to send someone to restrain Zhang Miao and let him not act rashly.

Zhang Hong responded immediately and rushed to Sun Ce. He also knew that the situation was urgent and he could not sit still and wait for death. There was still a chance to take the initiative, so he did not stop Sun Ce, but he reminded Sun Ce not to show off his courage. If the situation is wrong, retreat immediately.

Sun Ce agreed.

The orders were passed one by one, and the soldiers of various units rushed back and forth, completing the defense change during the movement. Seeing the flags on the position, and looking like they were about to attack, Cao Ren on the opposite side was very nervous and ordered the infantry to prepare for the battle. After half an hour of busyness, he found that it was just a false alarm. Sun Ce not only did not launch an offensive, but gradually became quiet and even the arrow formation stopped. He observed carefully and found that there were nearly half of the fewer crossbowmen.

Cao Ren did not dare to be careless and reported the latest situation to Cao Ang. After discussing with Chen Gong, Cao Ang sent a scout to search for news westward along the Honggu to see if Sun Ce was planning to choose a different location to smuggle Honggu and attack in a roundabout way.

When Cao Ang and Cao Ren guessed where Sun Ce was going, Sun Ce led his troops to march eastward. When he arrived at the Langdang Canal, Zhu Jun had already sent Wen Yun to build a floating bridge. Wen Yun said that Zhu Taiwei mobilized his troops in the central army and was ready to attack Zhu Ling to attract Yuan Tan's attention. You must be careful, don't force it. If it really doesn't work, you can temporarily retreat to Zhongmu.

Zhang Fang was there too. He said nothing, gave Sun Ce a big gift, and then stood beside Sun Ce with a knife on his shoulder.

Sun Ce led his troops across the Wandang Canal, and five thousand infantry and cavalry marched eastward, and the soldiers pointed directly at Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao received the news soon and was shocked. He sent Zhang Chao to see Sun Ce. Didn’t we agree that you would attack me? Sun Ce explained the situation to Zhang Chao and finally said, I am going to ambush Liu Bei now. You can watch the show or participate in the war. I will accompany you to the end.

Zhang Chao smiled and shook his head repeatedly. "We are not the general's opponents. It would be great if we can defend the camp. How dare we fight with the general?"

Sun Ce and Zhang Chao said goodbye. The reason why he dared to make this decision was to bet that Zhang Miao did not want Yuan Tan to succeed and would watch the wall. After Yuan Tan won the battle, they were in danger. Zhu Jun wanted Jun Yi at most, but Yuan Tan wanted the whole of Chenliu. As for Liu Bei's life or death, they actually didn't care.

After crossing the Wandang Canal, it was already dark. Sun Ce ordered a torch to ignite and march without hiding his actions.

"The general is as brave as a fight." King Chen sighed: "When I am with you, I am a little young and crazy."

Sun Ce laughed. "Master, you have to stay calm. I'm still waiting to see your magical skills."

——

Yuan Tan received a report from Cheng Yu, and a group of people crossed the Wandering Canal under the banner of Sun Ce and headed towards Zhang Miao's defense zone.

Yuan Tan was skeptical and discussed with Liu Biao and others for a while, but he still did not dare to determine the authenticity. He decided to send someone to ask Cao Ang who was fighting against Sun Ce. Soon, he received Cao Ang's report. Sun Ce on the opposite side had not launched an attack for a long time, and his battle flag was missing. The situation was puzzling. He was sending scouts to find Sun Ce's trace, but there was no result yet.

Immediately afterwards, he received several reports from Zhang Miao: First, he was in a hurry, and Sun Ce rushed towards me; then he reported his safety, but Sun Ce did not attack me; finally he was confused, and Sun Ce went north, and didn't know what he wanted to do, do you know?

Yuan Tan was confused by a series of information. It seemed that Sun Ce had gone east and crossed the east of the Langdangqu, but what did he want to do? He lay on the map and looked at it for a long time, and was startled. Sun Ce passed the Langdangqu and headed north again. It was not that Ximen attacked Cao Ang and instead attacked Cheng Yu at the East Gate? Cheng Yu had limited military strength and was limited by the terrain. Xu Jian was already a little reluctant to deal with Cao Bao, and Sun Ce would be defeated.

Yuan Tan did not dare to be negligent. While dispatching troops and generals to support Cheng Yu, he sent someone to ask about the latest news about Cheng Yu. The battlefield was false and real, and it was difficult to tell the truth. If you can't figure out the situation, act rashly and follow the other party's rhythm and you will definitely lose.

The idea of ​​Sun Ce's possible attack on Liu Bei flashed through Yuan Tan's mind and was rejected immediately. This was simply impossible. First of all, Sun Ce may not know where Liu Bei was. Secondly, even if he knew, he would go around such a big circle and march for more than 20 or 30 miles to fight, and he would have to go through Cheng Yu and Zhang Miao's defense zones. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible, unless Sun Ce is a madman.

Half an hour later, he received Cheng Yu's report: Sun Ce did not come to me, he headed northeast.

Yuan Tan took a breath of air conditioning, was stunned for a while, and yelled: "Zhang Mengzhuo misled me!"
