Catching Deer Mountain in Xinzheng North.

There was another heavy rain at night, washing the trees in the mountains spotlessly, green and stretching west. The flowing water in the mountains was rustling, and two black crows flew across the hills, croaking and flying westward.

"Good omen." Guo Jia shook the feather fan and said with a smile.

Sun Ce knew that crows were still auspicious birds in the Han Dynasty, and they had the meaning of feeding back. However, he did not believe in self-comfort such as good omen and bad omen. He was more concerned about the trouble caused by this heavy rain. When crossing the yellow water in the morning, the water level rose a lot. "The heavy rain at night, the water will inevitably rise. The water is so fast that Jiang Qinsui was on the way up the water, so he was afraid that he would not be able to reach Zhucheng in time."

"It is indeed possible, but the gains and losses of Zhucheng cannot affect the overall situation. As long as Yuan Shao is not allowed to suddenly appear under Xinzheng City." Guo Jia was confident and pointed to a hillside in the northwest. "Do you know what is there?"

Sun Ce pondered for a moment. "The water behind him is called Huangshui. Could it be that the source is Huangquan or Huangyuan?"

"It's Huangquan. Can the general know what allusions do this Huangquan have?"

Sun Ce shook his head and gave Guo Jia a angrily glance. "I know I am less studying, so don't take the exam for me. Is it interesting?"

Guo Jia laughed. "Kong Ming, Bo Yan, tell me."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly. "The wine sacrifice is about Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan, and Huang Quan meets his mother?"

"Yes, then guess again, why did I tell such a story?"

Zhuge Liang tilted his head and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Guo Jia turned to look at Lu Yi, but Lu Yi couldn't help but say slowly: "If you do evil, you will die. Yuan Shao is the same."

When Sun Ce heard this, he realized that he had an indescribable sense of time and space disorder for a moment. In the past four years of this era, except for dreaming back at midnight, he often could not remember his previous life. He thought he was a late Han Dynasty man, but when he heard Guo Jia and the other two use the past to describe the present, he suddenly realized that no matter how beautiful his words and deeds were, his way of thinking was different from them.

He only believes in strength, only believes in economy and technology, and can speak frankly and profitably, but Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, and Lu Yi still believe in the hearts of the people, morality, and believe that there are many helps when they are in the way of being, while there are few helps when they are in the way of being. They all believe that they can defeat Yuan Shao, but his confidence comes from the understanding of the greed and weakness in the bones of the aristocratic family, while Guo Jia and others believe that Yuan Shao is unrighteous and loses the hearts of the people, so they will undoubtedly lose.

You can't be wrong, it's just that the key points are different.

Sun Ce smiled and said, "According to your words, Yuan Shao did not choose to garrison Xinzheng. Is he guilty?"

Guo Jia shook his head. "It's hard to say whether he feels guilty or not, but he did not choose Xinzheng, but chose to garrison Meishan. It's certain that he feels guilty." He pointed to the mountains in front of him, waved his feather fan, and showed great courage to guide the country. "This mountain is the remnant of Songshan Mountain, which stretches for dozens of miles east and west, and there is Huangshui behind the mountain, which is not conducive to marching. If he enters Xinzheng, it is inconvenient to supply supplies. Once the general sends people to occupy this mountain, Yuan Shao's retreat will be kanyu. He stations in Meishan and guards the dangers. He can advance or retreat, and is naturally safer than Xinzheng."

Guo Jia chuckled: "Hold heavy troops in his hand and think about retreating before fighting. Yuan Shao's confidence is not enough."

Zhuge Liang nodded and agreed, "That's right, even if he stationed troops in Meishan, he should send generals to occupy Xinzheng and respond to it. It is really a mistake to give in to Xinzheng."

"Kongming, you don't know anything." Guo Jia laughed. "In addition to lack of confidence, there may be two reasons why Yuan Shao did not choose Xinzheng. First, Xinzheng is the capital of Zheng State, the Ji surname of Zheng, the royal family of Zhou, Yuan Shao, and the general all regard themselves as descendants of Emperor Shun. When the two armies fought decisively, he naturally would not choose the garrison of the Ji family. However, Xinzheng is also the ruins of Zhurong, and the general uses the name of Fire Phoenix, so it is okay to live there."

"That's true. I've been knowledgeable and never thought of this for a while. What about the second one?"

Guo Jia stretched out his hand and pointed. "Did you see the mountain in the distance?"

Sun Ce and others looked at each other. Guo Jia was referring to the direction of Meishan, which was only about twenty miles away from Zhuzhang Mountain, and his eyesight was within reach. From a distance, Meishan and Taishan on the east side were clearly visible. The two mountains were opposite, Meishan was slightly higher and Taishan was slightly lower, and it looked like the king and his subjects were facing each other.

"The position of the monarch and the subject?"

"Not only that. The main peak of Meishan is facing north and south, and looks like a green screen from east to west, so the people commonly call this peak the Yuzu Peak."

Sun Ce understood and couldn't help laughing. He believed in Guo Jia's judgment. After all, he was a person of an era, and his way of thinking was relatively close. Guo Jia also knew Yuan Shao's nature, so his judgment should not be too outrageous. This is also normal. Some people believe in these in the 21st century when science was prosperous, let alone this era.

"When you admire your reputation and live in trouble, the wise will not do it." Sun Ce waved his hand and looked at it disdainfully. "According to this, the Songshan Mountain behind him is higher, or Xiadu, wouldn't he, a descendant of Emperor Shun, have laid the foundation of the new dynasty before he could sit firmly on the imperial throne?"

Guo Jia and the other two couldn't help laughing and burst into laughter.

A messenger walked up quickly to report the news he had just received. Yan Xing found out that, and Shen Pei led his troops to leave Meishan Camp and detour Yuanling, and were rushing to Zhucheng. He had a lot of people, nearly 30,000 people, equipped with a large number of powerful crossbows.

After hearing this, Sun Ce looked at Zhuge Liang and Lu Yi marked the location on the map, and his heart sank. With his worries and misfortune, Jiang Qin went up against the current and might not have time to arrive at Zhucheng. Shen Pei had too many people, but Zhucheng's city defense was not enough. Dong Xi could not stop Shen Pei.

"Yuan Shao's reaction was very fast this time."

"I said that he was not without talents, but the internal fighting was consumed too much. At the moment of life and death, they might temporarily put aside their rift and fight against the enemy. It is not easy for us to win." Guo Jia thought for a moment. "It doesn't matter if Zhucheng cannot be defended. Dong Zhi retreated to Qihujian and Jiang Qin guarded Huangquankou, which could also block Shen Pei. What we have to worry about is that Shen Pei and Xun Yan joined forces to cut off our army's food route. Although Yuan Shao may not be patient in confronting our army, it is difficult to ensure that he is safe. If he is forced to siege and not attack under the situation, we will be very passive."

Sun Ce weighed the pros and cons, and made a decision. "Don't worry, let's see if he will surround him." He smiled. "I'm not worried about his patience, I'm worried about his courage. As you said, going south is not easy, but returning north is even more difficult. If he really dares to surround Xinzheng, we will let him go without a return."

Guo Jia thought about it and reminded: "General, what if the Yingchuan family makes a desperate bet and support Yuan Shao?"

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and gently fell down. He understood what Guo Jia meant. Guo Jia still opposed him to clean up the Yingchuan family that supported Xun Yan. Now that there is such a good opportunity, he will certainly not let it go. However, Guo Jia took the initiative to remind him instead of following the trend, which shows that he could still distinguish between public and private, and did not deliberately put him in danger just because he wanted to save the Yingchuan family.

"If they are determined to go to the underworld with Yuan Shao, I will help them." Sun Ce said meaningfully: "I have given them a chance to be filial, but they have given up on their own. Doing unrighteous things will kill themselves. Everything must not be repeated, otherwise it will become abusive kindness."
