"Stop doing this. Novels." Guo Jia laughed. "Tell me, if this is a plan, what kind of plan would it be, and how should it be broken?"

Seeing that Guo Jia was going to take the exam, Zhuge Liang and Lu Yi were both surprised and happy. This kind of opportunity to have a small meal was too rare. Zhuge Liang quickly packed up the case and took out the map. The sand table was too big, and Sun Ce's big tent could not be put down, and only the map was available. However, for them, the map of Yingchuan had long been in their minds. Lu Yi prepared some fruit pulp and snacks. The two armies were fighting, and Sun Ce was not in the camp. They were destined to be unable to sleep peacefully today. They had to be prepared for trouble at all times. These things were prepared in advance.

The three of them sat around the table. Zhuge Liang and Lu Yi put their shoulders on each other and asked each other to say first. Seeing that they were modest, Guo Jia directly pointed out the general and asked Zhuge Liang to speak first in the order of age, and let Zhuge Liang speak first and add Lu Yi. In his experience, these two young men are excellent, and they are both good at planning for details. Lu Yi has a broad vision and is good at looking at the big picture. If they cooperate, they can naturally use their strengths to achieve perfection. However, such talents cannot always be the military plan. Sooner or later, they must be independent, so that they can try to do things they are not so good at, learn from each other, and consciously make up for a little bit of shortcomings, but it may create two perfect geniuses.

Although Zhuge Liang was a little surprised, he did not refuse. He knew Guo Jia's good intentions very well. He stared at the map, pondered for a long time, cleared his throat, stretched out his hand, clicked in Xiangcheng, slowly slid towards Jia County, and finally pointed to Luoyang.

"The two armies fight, the first is to compete for power. As the saying goes, deep roots and lush leaves, solid roots and branches are prosperous. The roots of the army are grain, Huang Wan's roots are Luoyang, Yingchuan is broken and the household registration is damaged. Even if Xun Yan merges from it and reconciles with the Han family of Yingchuan, the food collected cannot last long, and it will inevitably be transferred from Luoyang. General Huang enters Yingchuan, and can attack Jiaxian in the north and take Xiangcheng in the south. Huang Wan is like a stunning light, and he must be eliminated and quickly. In terms of combat power, General Huang will naturally win more than one level, but Huang Wan's scholar may not know that

Dao is powerful, and he thinks that his troops are superior, so he takes the initiative to go out of the city to challenge General Huang as soon as possible. Huang Wan is a high-ranking and a senior party member. Once the situation is unfavorable and even controlled by others, Xun Yan cannot refuse to save him. This is likely the reason why Xun Yan retreated quickly. As a subordinate of Huang Wan, Cao Bao has no reason to refuse to save him. Xun Yan and Cao Bao withdraw, Yi's troops are not enough to attack the city. He takes advantage of the situation and follows the situation. Winning in the field has become his inevitable choice."

Guo Jia slowly tasted the pulp. "If it was a field battle, where would Yi choose to be the battlefield?" Zhuge Liang was about to speak, but Guo Jia pointed at Lu Yi. "Boyan, you say it."

"Here." Lu Yi gave a bow and said slowly: "If you don't care about Xun Yan, Cao Bao and others, Yi has 20,000 infantrymen, which is equivalent to our army's strength. The Hun cavalry is good for cavalry shooting and guerrillas, which is not conducive to assault, so Yi does not need to use them as the main force, but let them cruis around, find fighter jets, and restrain part of our army's forces, which can resist their training and lack of equipment. In addition, he is afraid of our cavalry, this terrain should be beneficial to infantry and cavalry terrain." Lu Yi reached out to point to several places on the map. "The most suitable places between Yingyang and Xiangcheng are just a few, Yicheng, Xibugen, Chicheng, and Longyuan. Judging from the marching route of Yi, first of all, Longyuan, and secondly Xibugen."

He paused and said, "If you consider Yi himself, Long Yuan is most likely."

Guo Jia asked back: "Why? Xibugen is close to Xiangcheng, which is convenient for Xiangcheng's troops to reinforce, which is more beneficial to Yi."

"There are three reasons: First, Yi is the most elite part of the army, and it may not be necessary to reinforce. Since he can monopolize his merits, why should he share the weight with others? Second, Yi is a native of Xiliang, and the place name Xibugen is not good for him, and the five elements of Longyuan belong to water, which can defeat the general's phoenix fire; Third, if there is no opportunity to take advantage of our army, our army will not attack, and he must choose a place that seems not very beneficial to him, so that our army will take risks."

"What should we do?"

"Turn but not trigger."

"Hold him?"

"Yes. Stop Yi and create opportunities for General Huang to defeat Huang Wan. Huang Wan is a scholar and Xun Yan is also a scholar. Neither is the opponent of General Huang. Even if General Huang cannot win completely, as long as we defeat Yi, Huang Wan and Xun Yan will be alone. The weather is getting hotter and the rain is getting more and more. Our army's main force comes from Jiangnan and is used to this kind of weather. Most of Yi's subordinates come from Hebei, and some come from Liangzhou, which is difficult to adapt to the climate of the Central Plains. In addition, our army's navy advantage, the longer the time is delayed, the more beneficial the situation is to us. Moreover, from the general trend, Yuan Shao and Huang Wan are both conducive to speed and failure, which is not conducive to long-term. Using defense instead of attack is originally the established strategy of the general and the sacrificial wine. This is the case on Junyi's battlefield and the same is true on Yingchuan battlefield."

Guo Jia smiled. "You are right, but Yi is not stupid. He won't wait too long unless..." He smacked his lips and did not continue. Lu Yi took over the topic slowly. "Unless he uses the general as bait. If he can severely damage the general or even kill the general, even if Huang Wan is killed, Yi can still repay the crime."

Zhuge Liang's face changed.

Guo Jia shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yes, this is what I worry about the most."

Before he finished speaking, a rapid footstep sounded outside the tent. A military squad rushed in, the door of the tent was raised, followed by a knight. The knight glanced and walked quickly to Guo Jia, bowed and said, "Sacrifice, the general has a message."

Guo Jia quickly stood up. This knight was Sun Ce's attendant knight. He was not only skilled in martial arts, but also loyal. Letting such people pass on the word is to prevent the news from falling into the hands of the enemy. The news transmitted in this way must be very important.

"explain."

The knight attached to Guo Jia's ear and muttered a few words. Guo Jia's face changed slightly, and he unconsciously glanced at Zhuge Liang and Lu Yi. Zhuge Liang and Lu Yi looked at each other, laughed twice at the same time, and then sighed in unison.

Sun Ce used his body as bait, which was not a good thing, it was an adventure. If it was done well, it would seriously damage Yi, a famous Hebei general, and defeat Yuan Shao. If it was done badly, Sun Ce was injured, which was like a catastrophe for the Sun family.

"I object to the wine sacrifice." Zhuge Liang said: "We don't need to take such a big risk, we can do it slowly."

Guo Jia blinked and said nothing. Zhuge Liang was anxious and was about to say something again, Lu Yi said, "Kong Ming, you are too worried. Since the general knows that he is bait, there will be no danger. If he really thinks this is an opportunity to defeat Yi, that is dangerous."

Zhuge Liang was stunned and then said, "After that being said, the fish and the fisherman have never been static. Both sides are baiting each other. Who can ensure perfection? Yi is not an ordinary general. Even if the general is brave, this adventure is frivolous and there is no need."

Lu Yi said: "Because of this, instead of dissuading the general, you might as well think about what to do to ensure that the military plan is responsible for planning, but cannot go beyond the sacrificial position and make a decision for the general."

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth and shut up again.
