Chapter 1413 Don't do it for yourself
Two bloody corpses were quietly placed under the steps, and the blood had not dried up completely, slowly flowing on the ground like earthworms. Novel.
The military newspaper was placed in front of Sun Jian, which was soaked in blood. The paper was made from Pingyu Workshop, and the handwriting was also neat, and there was no obvious difference from the military newspaper I received before. There was no problem with the tone of the text, the words and words used. Qin Song and Hongzi discussed repeatedly and basically confirmed the authenticity of the military newspaper.
But they did not agree with Sun Jian's exit from the city. There are two reasons: First, Yuan's army chased and killed scouts for several days, and the news was completely cut off. Suddenly a messenger appeared, it was inevitable that there would be fraud. It would be better to be careful; second, even if the military report was correct and Sun Ce was trapped, it did not mean that he needed Sun Jian's reinforcements. How many people could Sun Jian have? If Sun Ce needed, he could recruit military troops to help the battle at any time, and there was no need to go far. With the combat power of Sun Ce's troops, even if he could not win the battle, breaking through was completely possible.
Besides, Sun Ce said in the military newspaper that he would let Sun hold Junyi City and not worry about him.
Sun Jian felt that Qin Song and Hongzi were right, but he still had some questions in his heart. There was no doubt that Sun Ce's situation was very critical, otherwise he would not take special care of him not to go out of the city to reinforce. The more this happened, the more it means that Sun Ce might need his reinforcements. Yi is the number one general in Hebei. Although Sun Ce is good at fighting, he is far inferior to Yi in terms of experience. Last time in Rencheng, Sun Ce was surrounded by Yuan Tan, and finally broke through with cavalry. Yi is best at breaking the cavalry with his footsteps. If Sun Ce is surrounded by Yi, he may not have a chance to escape. On the contrary, Yi has five thousand Hun cavalry, and even if Sun Ce can break through the encirclement, he will face the pursuit of the cavalry.
Sun Jian did not directly reject Qin Song's suggestion. He had been fighting for more than 20 years and knew the truth that the army would never get tired of deceitfulness. When the two armies were fighting, anything could happen. Even if there was no problem with the military newspaper, it was not ruled out that Yuan Shao surrounded Sun Ce and forced him out of the city.
Sun Jian ordered Zu Mao to scatter all the scouts, and ordered Han Dang to lead his personal guards out of the city to find ways to break through the siege in Yingchuan, especially paying attention to the direction of Xingyang and observing the movements of Yuan Shao's main force.
Zu Mao and Han Dang received the order and left the city overnight.
Pang De returned to the camp and reported to Sun Ce and Guo Jia what he found.
In addition to confirming that Zhang left Yingchuan, Pang De also discovered an abnormal phenomenon. After Zhang crossed the water, he went north to Xinzheng instead of Weishi and Kaifeng to the east. Xinzheng was close to mountains, hills and slopes, which were not suitable for cavalry to rush. In contrast, the terrain of Weishi and Kaifeng was flat, and the two counties were under Yuan Shao's control, and it was more convenient to rest, eat and accommodation.
"It's indeed suspicious." Guo Jia immediately realized the strangeness. "Not far north of Xinzheng is Putianze, and Qingkouze, and more than ten water sieges of all sizes of Zhongyangze. After heavy rain, the roads are muddy and difficult to march. Moreover, Xinzheng is very close to Yangdi and Changshe, which is suitable for ambushing. Zhang travels day and night, and it seems that he should not choose this road."
Sun Ce frowned. He was not as familiar with the geography near Zhongmu, but he knew better than Guo Jia. Among the five good generals of Cao Wei, Zhang Liao and Le Jin were known for their courage, Yu Jin was known for their strictness, and Zhang and Xu Huang were known for their prudence. For Zhang, who was cautious by nature, if there was no sufficient reason, he should not choose Xinzheng.
"What kind of reason will prompt Zhang to go to Xinzheng?"
Guo Jia was silent for a moment and said, "We have not received any news about General Cheqi and Cavalry for several days, and the messenger sent out has not returned. The latest news is five or six days ago. Judging from the time, it is just before and after Zhang entered Yingchuan. Judging from various signs, our previous estimate is correct. Yuan Shao had some plans near Junyi and blocked the news." He moved his body and felt a little uneasy. "General, Yuan Shao has a big appetite."
"I have a big mouth and a small throat, and I'm not afraid of choking to death." Sun Ce cursed, but he also had a headache. This is the benefit of a large number of people. If you want to block the news within a radius of hundreds of miles, you can't handle it without thousands of cavalry. Yuan Shao's big moves would naturally not be ordinary people, but only father and son. If a big hole is dug, the father and son cannot communicate with each other, and one will inevitably jump in. As long as you catch one, Yuan Shao will not lose. If both of them are caught by him, Yuan Shao will send it.
There is no way to avoid it. To break this situation, there is only one way: take the initiative to push forward, make Yuan Shao unable to make a calm layout, change passive to active, ambush to pincer attack, father and son attack north and south, kill Yuan Shao. Sun Ce calculated the combat power of both sides and felt that this idea was not arrogant, but the safest thing, at least he could control the initiative in his own hands and quickly made a decision.
"Fengxiao, let's go to Junyi."
"What should I do if Xun Yan?"
"Well, how can he do? Lead troops to plunder Yingchuan? I'll give him this opportunity." Sun Ce laughed.
Guo Jia thought about it and laughed. Yi was already defeated, and Xun Yan retreated to Xiangcheng and Jiaxian, and was in panic all day long. Siege was not easy. Even if they stayed in Yingchuan, they would still take Xun Yan for a while. Juhu had no choice but to switch to Junyi. Xun Yan was from Yingchuan. He occupied a few counties at most and could not do anything too out of the way. The gains and losses of the county town had nothing to do. He defeated Yuan Shao and made a free move. Xun Yan had no support, and no matter how many counties occupied, he could not defend it.
"I think this plan is good."
"Then do it." Sun Ce waved his hand. "Do you want to discuss it first?"
"You can discuss the details slowly on the road, just be a good direction. With the power of killing righteousness, you will fight against Yuan Shao head-on. I think there is no problem with Yuan Shao. Kong Ming, Bo Yan, what do you think?"
Zhuge Liang and Lu Yi exchanged a look and said in unison: "What the sacrificial wine says is reasonable, and that's right."
Sun Ce immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters. Before the generals arrived, he called Yan Xing and asked him to lead the personal guards to go first, especially to break Yuan Shao's blockade and send the news to the city of Junyi. In the battle of Longyuan, Yan Xing led the personal guards to cruising the battlefield, defeating the devils first, and then attacking Yin Kai. He showed extraordinary ability to capture fighter jets, and was not greedy for merit, taking into account the overall situation, and won unanimous praise from all the generals. This time, he needed a vanguard official to fight Junyi, and Sun Ce naturally thought of him.
Yan Xing received the order and quickly left the camp.
Sun Ce immediately asked Guo Jia to write a private message to send it to Xiangcheng. Guo Jia said in the letter that Huang Wan surrendered and was buried in Fuluo. Now Yi was killed in the battle again. You Xun Yan is the only one in Yingchuan who is worthy of General Sun's attack. I originally wanted to fight you in a dignified battle, but unfortunately you hid in Xiangcheng and dared not show up. Now Huang Zhong guarded Lushan, and your retreat back to Luoyang was cut off. What else can you do besides surrender? A gentleman does not care much about himself. General Sun does not force you. He is willing to give you a while to think. Now rush to Junyi first to fight. I hope that after General Sun defeats Yuan Shao, you can go there. Don't go to the secret of the pearl or against the will of heaven. If you have the courage to catch up, General Sun is also welcome. He is willing to fight with you in Yingyin, so that your hometown party and ancestors can appreciate your righteous spirit that you know that it is impossible.
Xun Yan received the letter of war, sighed to the sky, leaving Juhu to guard the city, led his troops out of the city to follow and chase, and sent someone to notify Yuan Shao.
Sun Ce is here.
