Sun Ce walked outside the water pavilion, sat on the railing, resting his arms on the railing, looking at the lake water wrinkled by the autumn wind, and was in a daze. .

Guo Jia followed out and faced Sun Ce. A girl from Zhao brought a small case between the two of them, and then served some hot slurry and dried fruits, and then quietly retreated. Sun Ce picked up a dried fruit and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, thinking about what Guo Jia said in his heart. The decisive battle between Yuan and Cao in history was in Guandu, and Guandu was not far west of Junyi. Yuan Shao's route to march was what Guo Jia mentioned. Although people have changed, the geographical situation is still the same. This war seems to be possible to unfold according to inertia.

He said it very easily to Mi Lan, as if victory was at your fingertips, but the strategic one was not tactical. Strategically, Yuan Shao was attacked from all sides and had fallen into a passive position and became a trapped beast in a cage. However, in terms of tactics, he still had strong strength. Once he was not dealt with properly, the possibility of a turnaround still exists.

"What do you think Yuan Shao will do?"

"The first thing Yuan Shao has to do is to stabilize Youzhou and prevent Gongsun Zan from causing trouble behind him. Zhang Ze also wants to stabilize Youzhou, so they have a basis for negotiation. As for Liu Bei, he narrowly won this battle, earned a reputation, and had a foundation for expansion. He needed time to recruit soldiers and did not want to have conflicts with Yuan Shao again. Only Gongsun Zan would not sit idly by and watch Zhang Ze negotiate with Yuan Shao, and would inevitably provoke trouble. If Yuan Shao wanted to go south with peace of mind, he would inevitably be safe for someone who could be accepted by Zhang Ze and the people of Youzhou, but could also curb Gongsun Zan."

Sun Strategy thought. "Liu He?"

"That's right." Guo Jia took a sip of hot drink. "Xia Pi, Guangling has no danger to defend, and Liu He can't hold on for too long. In this case, Yuan Shao may use Xia Pi, Guangling and Tao Qian to negotiate with the two countries, in exchange for Tao Qian's support, and transfer Liu He back to Youzhou. Tao Qian suffered a lot in the past two years and suffered a major epidemic this year. If he could recover the two countries without a fight, he had no reason to refuse. In this way, there must be suspicion between the general and Tao Qian, and he must be guarded. Therefore, although Liu He left, the general's vigilance could not be reduced, but instead increased."

Sun Ce thought, and said, "Liu He is the son of Liu Yu. He is a dead son in Xuzhou, but he lives in Youzhou. Liu Yu has always been prestigious in Youzhou, and many people around Zhang Ze are Liu Yu's old officials. He cannot refuse Liu He to return to Youzhou, and he cannot treat him badly. Liu He wants to avenge his father, but Zhang Ze is unlikely to do it. Liu He will still place his hope on Yuan Shao. In this way, he becomes a nail arranged by Yuan Shao in Youzhou, enough to restrain Gongsun Zan.

Yuan Shao won two birds with one stone, but he didn't make any sense.

"Secondly, for Yuan Shao, the only benefit of fighting at Junyi is Huang Wan's assistance. Considering that most of Huang Wan's subordinates were old subordinates of Zhu Gong, it is unlikely that Huang Wan would take it for himself in the short term. In addition, Huang Wan himself has no experience in a war, Yuan Shao's trust in him is very limited, at least he will not be stronger than Yuan Xi, Cao Ang. Yuan Xi and Cao Ang have just experienced the test of a war and are young. They are obedient to Yuan Shao and will not have their own opinions like Huang Wan. On the premise of successful separation, Yuan Shao's choice of Rencheng to fight is more beneficial."

Guo Jia said while siping a hot drink. He was almost done with half a pot of hot drinks under his belly. He touched his stomp. "If Yuan Shao wants to follow our plan and fight in Junyi, we need to do two things: one, make him feel that Junyi is more beneficial to him; the other, make him feel that Rencheng is not good for him. Only when one rises and the other falls can he lead his nose."

"What specific plans do you have?"

Guo Jia turned around and looked at the busy military plan in the house. "The specific plan is not available yet, but I think I can talk to Gongsun Zan about Qingzhou. There is Yuan Shao outside and Zhang Ze and Liu Bei inside. He is now unable to take care of himself and can no longer control Qingzhou. As long as we give enough tempting conditions, he may give up Qingzhou. What I am worried about now is that Qingzhou is ruined, and whether we have enough manpower and material resources to face Yuan Xi's attack after we take over Qingzhou."

Sun Ce thought for a while and smiled. "It should be OK. I heard that the people in Qingxulai have a good impression of me. If we can arrange for those people who have recovered to return home and provide some food so that they can settle down in Qingzhou, they should be happy to go back."

Sun Ce sang the ballad that Mi Lan sang yesterday. Guo Jia was surprised and happy when he heard it. "I will arrange for someone to verify it immediately. If this is the case, it would be a good idea. No need to have more. As long as there are 10,000 households to conduct farming, we can guarantee the food supply of the 10,000 troops."

Sun Ce also thought so. The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were very terrible, with severe population loss and free land everywhere. If there were 10,000 households in the military farm, each household had a hundred acres, even if they were less, they would earn 200 stones a year, four officials and six people, and eighty stones, which would be enough to support one cavalry or three infantrymen, and they would still have some profit. The so-called people's hearts are available, and what best reflects this is logistics.

"By the way, a military adviser mentioned a suggestion yesterday. I think it's very good. Maybe it can be tried first in Qingzhou."

"What suggestions, let me tell you?"

Guo Jia stood up, walked inside, waved and called out a young military plan. "Xiaoren, tell the general about your plan yesterday."

Junmou was a little nervous, and his white face turned slightly red. Sun Ce waved his hand and signaled him to take his seat. He had never seen a young Junmou, so he should be a newcomer. "I am very proud of my face, a new talent?"

Guo Jia winked at the young army's plan. The young army's plan understood and hurriedly bowed to salute. "Huainan Cang Ci, whose courtesy name is Xiaoren, has met the general."

Sun Ce was surprised and couldn't help but look at Cang Ci more. Cang Ci, Ren Jun and Zao were both good officials who were good at government affairs and had certain research on military farming. They had no military achievements, but they were able to help the people and work hard to farm, which played an immeasurable role in the restoration of production in the late Han Dynasty.

Sun Ce said to Xu Sheng who was standing behind him: "Car a bed and let Xiaoren sit down and talk."

Xu Sheng responded, went in and took out a Hu bed, and asked Kurachi to take her seat. Kurachi was a little flattered and even more nervous. Sun Ce felt it was interesting, and did not urge him, and looked at him with a smile. After a while, Kurachi calmed down a little, held his knees with his hands, and bowed slightly to Sun Ce.

"The general is kind. Recently, he has placed tens of thousands of households to settle down, which is very beneficial to stabilizing people's hearts. But charity believes that there is more kindness and insufficient demonstration. The Master said: It is difficult for women and villains to raise. If they are close, they are not inferior, and if they are far away, they will be resentful. If they have kindness but no power, they will be arrogant and lazy and easy. If they are favored by the general, they will not be able to give enough rewards to the general. Once the general needs more rewards, they will have complaints."

Sun Ce felt that this was a little harsh. He asked patiently, "Then what are the good ways do you have? The Legalists' way of farming and fighting?"

Cang Ci heard the displeasure in Sun Ce's words and was very embarrassed. He pursed his lips, stood up, and gave a deep bow. "General, Shu Ci said frankly that although the Legalists are mean and have little kindness, it is not suitable for a long-term way, but Qin used the way of farming and fighting to pacify the world, which shows that he had urgent help. If he was in chaos today, if he could do it, it would be a good medicine to save the world. Why should the general hear the Legalists and feel disgusted?"
