Chapter 1378: Turning black and white (Page 1/1)

Sun Ce did not dare to be careless when he reminded Guo Jia. His main opponent was not Xun Yan, but Yuan Shao. It would be no benefit to defeat Xun Yan, so he just wanted to drive Que Yi and Xun Yan out of Yingchuan and stabilize the situation, so he was unwilling to fight Xun Yan to desperately.

But what if Xun Yan wants to fight him? He can't turn around and run away, or hide in the city without showing his head. Even if he doesn't care about his face and is willing to be a turtle, Xun Yan will definitely find a way to force him to fight. For example, surrounded Fanqiu City, or swaggeringly travel eastward, or even heading south to Runan, forcing him to intercept.

There are everywhere in the battle, Yang Zhi, who sells swords, meets Niu Er, and today I meet Xun Yan. Scholars are more difficult to deal with than real scoundrels when they play scoundrels. Guo Jia said it right, Xun Yan is a smart person and makes great progress. Giving face and honor is actually a fight for the initiative. The art of war says: To help others, it is not to help others. Attention is power. In order to fight for the momentum, sometimes it is even willing to make great sacrifices.

"If Xun Yan had to fight to the death, how many choices would he have?"

Guo Jia shook the feather fan and gave a wink. Zhuge Liang immediately spread the map. "Kong Ming, what would you do if you were Xun Yan?"

Zhuge Liang stared at the map and looked back and forth. "Encircled Fanqiu City, then dug deep into the trenches, cut off the connection between inside and outside the city, forcing the army to come and fight to the decisive battle under the city."

"What if our army took the lead in leaving the city?"

"Then... attack them and rescue them." Zhuge Liang pointed several places on the map. "Go to the east to Changshe, Yanling, Dingying and Yan County to the south, or run to Pingyu. The counties in Runan were robbed, and the general could not help them."

Sun Ce glanced at the map casually. In fact, there was no need to look at the map. If Xun Yan really wanted to find him to give him a reputation, he didn't have to worry about it. Apart from a limited number of cities such as Xiangcheng, Yingchuan had no danger to defend. Tuo Yi and Xun Yan had entered the hinterland of Yingchuan and attacked from all sides, unable to defend. He was stationed in Fanqiu City to block their way into Runan. If they went south, he could only fight and would never avoid it.

"Just fight in Fanqiu City." Sun Ce smacked his lips. He threw a rat and was afraid of weapons. Yingchuan was a weapon, and Runan was even more weapons. Xun Yan would not let Tuo Yi rob in Yingchuan, and he would not let Tuo Yi enter Runan.

"Longyuan is better." Guo Jia said: "Longyuan has a low-lying terrain and a crisscrossing water. It can limit cavalry conflicts, which is not conducive to the deployment of the army, and it is beneficial to us. Xun Yan should be interested in the place name of Longyuan. People with insufficient strength will habitually find some reasons to comfort themselves. Moreover, Xiangcheng is on the side, so he has to fight. Fanqiu City has no city defense and cannot stop the siege of tens of thousands of troops."

Sun Ce smiled. "Okay, give him a false reputation, and I will benefit you."

Guo Jia smiled knowingly, and then arranged for the military planners to design the formation based on the terrain near Longyuan to curb the cavalry and military strength as much as possible, so as to maximize his advantage and reduce unnecessary casualties. Xun Yan was willing to fight, but Sun Ce had to fight, but he could not suffer too much casualties. He still had to keep his energy to fight Yuan Shao.

At the same time, Guo Jia sent the most elite scouts to reconnaissance near Longyuan, and even borrowed Xie Guanglong, Guo Yuan and others from Sun Ce. After all, the map is a map, especially the large and small rivers near Longyuan. Once it rains, the water level rises, and the terrain may be beyond recognition.

Sun Ce was not idle either. He ordered the troops to prepare for the destruction and prepare for a water battle.

Sun Ce walked into a yard in the northeast corner of the small town.

Fanqiu is a small town with similar specifications as a town pavilion. There is no county seat, and only one military officer is working here. There are not many people and many houses are empty. After Sun Ce moved in, the soldiers simply cleaned up the empty houses and used them as military camps. Sun Ce lived on the city tower at the north gate, which was convenient for climbing up to see the distance. After Huang Wan arrived in Fanqiu, he arranged it in a yard in the northeast corner.

Sun Ce has never met Huang Wan. One is because of his busy military affairs, and the other is because he doesn't know what to say to Huang Wan. After hearing Guo Jia's introduction to Huang Wan, his feelings for Huang Wan were very complicated. He thought he was too paranoid and admired his persistence. Guo Jia said that Huang Wan was a real man who was rich and noble, poor and humble, and mighty and mighty, and mighty and mighty man, but Huang Wan was undoubtedly a gentleman, and his personal morality was impeccable.

The war is imminent, and Sun Ce does not want to leave Huang Wan in Fanqiu City, nor does he want to take him to Longyuan. He plans to send him to Pingyu. Before leaving, he wants to meet him and have a chat.

Standing at the door of the yard, Sun Ce hesitated a little. He had not planned what to say when he met later.

With a squeak, the window was gently pushed open, revealing half of Huang Wan's face. Huang Wan didn't speak, and looked at Sun Ce quietly through the window. He was not wearing a crown, his gray hair was wrapped in a piece of cloth, wearing a single dress of Yue cloth, and he knelt in front of the window, as if he was reading a book.

The two looked at each other for a while, Huang Wan's face was as deep as water, but Sun Ce suddenly laughed. He walked to the window and looked at it, and saw that there was indeed a book on the desk in front of Huang Wan. This was a simple house, short and small, with beams less than one meter high and the eaves were only about seven feet. If Sun Ce did not bow his head, he would even hit the forehead. The room was ten feet square, and he could only place a bed and a mat. Sun Ce looked at it and gave up his plan to enter the house. The room was so small that the two of them sat together. If the old man wanted to move, there would be no place to let him go.

He didn't want to fight with Huang Wan.

"What are you looking at?" Sun Ce leaned at the window and joked: "I heard that you don't go out of the gate and don't go out of the gate. I thought you were thinking about how to write a memorial for apology."

"What crime do I have to ask for?" Huang Wan said slowly.

"As the Grand Marshal, you are not guilty of leading troops to attack Yingchuan? Don't tell me that there was an edict to order you to do this."

"I am ordered to stay in Luoyang and have the power to use troops at a cheap price, and there is no need for an edict." Huang Wan said lightly: "As long as I think it is necessary, I can send troops."

"Then do you think it's necessary to attack me?"

"Of course, everyone can kill him."

"I am a traitor?" Sun Ce raised his eyebrows. "Mr. Huang is worthy of being a famous scholar. This is a first-class skill in distorting black and white. Yuan Shao made a proclamation, not a traitor, but I gave food to Guanzhong and became a traitor?"

Huang Wan was calm and calm. "You know whether you are a traitor, and I know in my heart. As for why you attack you instead of attacking Yuan Shao first, there is nothing strange about it. The court is tired, and you have no soldiers, no food, and no power to fight against Yuan Shao. Use Yuan Shao's power to defeat you, Yuzhou will return to Yuan Shao, and Jingzhou will return to the court, and the court will have half of the country. If you are lucky, you can force you to surrender and counterattack Yuan Shao again. The chance of victory will be much greater than going to war with Yuan Shao now."

Sun Ce was surprised and stared at Huang Wan for a long time, but couldn't say a word. He didn't know whether Huang Wan was saying true or not, but he knew that the court might have such an idea. Only in this way would it be reasonable for them to uplift Zhou Yu. If he was really defeated by Yuan Shao and Huang Wan, he had to bow to the court and had to retreat to Yangzhou. It would be almost natural for Jingzhou to be stripped out.

Sun Ce grinned. "It seems that you are not lucky."

Huang Wan sighed, lowered her head, and looked at the book on the desk. "Yes, the luck of the court is indeed not very good, but the luck of the people in Yuzhou seems to be good." He raised his head again. "General Sun, what do you think about competing for profit with the people?"
