There is no doubt that Shen You is undoubtedly a major general in the Jiangdong Group. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been in charge of a state in just two years. Gan Ning pointed this in front of so many people, which can be said to be a struggle for merit without speaking, or it can be said to be a chance to express his dissatisfaction.

In terms of camp time and military achievements, Shen You was not as good as Gan Ning. His later generations were the ones who obviously took advantage of the faction. Gan Ning was the most typical reference. He was the only Yizhou native under Sun Ce. He had no support from the village party and had a rough personality. He could not talk about it with scholars. The one he got was the Mi brothers, which was also the reason why the Mi brothers were humble and did not like to argue with others. However, the Mi brothers had a bit of temper, and could not play with him.

"This battle is a fierce battle, not anyone can take over. If you want to win the final victory, everyone must do their best, including me." Sun Ce raised his hand and pressed down. Shen You and Gan Ning glared at each other, but did not dare to be arrogant. They straightened their bodies and listened to Sun Ce's words. "So it doesn't matter who is the first to go into battle, and you don't have to fight. Just let me decide. Xingba, your name is festive, and you will take the lead. I hope you can show your domineering spirit."

Everyone couldn't help laughing and burst into laughter. Shen You also laughed, bowed his hand, and sat back on the table. Gan Ning shouted: "I will definitely live up to the name of the lord and overlord."

Sun Ce nodded. "Xingba, this time the enemy is numerous and we are few, and the opponent has many cavalry. We must be vigilant at all times. We must not seize the opportunity by the opponent. We must take every step firmly and crush the opponent's will with a dignified formation. We must not only kill people, but also punish our hearts. We must not only win, but also win cleanly. A miserable victory is like defeat. If you lose too much, then you will be fine next."

Gan Ning felt awe-inspiring in her heart, nodded vigorously, and replied loudly.

Sun Ce's eyes swept over the generals. "Although this time, he won by strength, his wisdom is indispensable. You should know that everyone can unite and use the intelligence and talents of every soldier as much as possible. He is very particular about it, and he will cut every knife in the most appropriate place, without giving his opponent a chance."

The generals put away their smiles and agreed with a loud voice.

Sun Ce immediately asked the military plan to explain the combat plan. This battle was centered on Dashi City, but the scope was not limited to Dashi City, but also included two fortresses forty miles north of Dashi City. These two fortresses were important roads from Dashi County to Xiangping. They were originally guarded by Ling Cao to block reinforcements from Xiangping. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Du swore a shot and sent cavalry to rush forward. Ling Cao was caught off guard and had to give up the two fortresses and retreat to Dashi City.

Now that Sun Ce wants to fight Gongsun Du, he naturally has to control these two fortresses first to avoid reinforcements from coming to Xiangping.

Fortresses are easy to defend and difficult to attack, but they must not stop attacking. They not only need to attack, but also control the rhythm and minimize casualties as much as possible. Too much casualties will not only affect morale, but also directly affect the subsequent decisive battle. If the fortress can be successfully captured and the casualties are controlled within a predetermined range, it will not only achieve tactical goals, cut off Gongsun Du's retreat and food routes, but also severely undermine Gongsun Du's confidence.

Gongsun Du swept Liaodong invincible for several years. He was somewhat conceited and a standard strong man. Once such a person is shaken, the possibility of collapse will increase greatly. The military plan was led by Guo Jia, and analyzed Gongsun Du's war in recent years. He formulated a tactical plan for his personality, and first took the fortress.

Guo Jia had collected information through Mi Zhu and others and had a detailed understanding of the terrain of the two fortresses. Ling Cao succeeded successfully. Now that he attacked again, there was nothing unfamiliar about the terrain. The military plan even made a simple sand table, which made people see at a glance. If there was any trouble, it was the fortification that Ling Cao had just built. Gongsun Du came for too long. Although Ling Cao ordered the burning of the emergency retreat plan, he would definitely not be able to burn it. As for how much Gongsun Du's subordinates could recover, they would have to go to the scene to see it again. Guo Jia had sent a scout to inquire and correct it at any time.

The first goal is the Tiger Leap Pass, located on Qihu Ridge, more than 40 miles northwest of Dashi City. It is the first fortress from the north. Although this pass is not big, it is extremely dangerous. It is built between the two ridges and is difficult to climb. There is only a small path that is only more than meter wide, passing through it.

The terrain is narrow and the troops cannot be spread out, which is an excellent place for easy defense and difficult attack. However, while limiting the attacking side, the defense's troops are also limited, and can only accommodate more than 200 people. For Sun Ce, who is mainly elite soldiers, this is an ideal goal.

Gan Ning seized the opportunity to fight the first battle and did not dare to be careless at all. He participated in the battle to capture the Dashi last time, but did not reach the Tiger Leap. This battle was a brand new task for him, so he asked very carefully. After repeated deductions, he suggested to Sun Ce that he hoped to arrange twenty A-level shooters to provide support. In this terrain combat, an A-level shooter could be worth ten ordinary crossbowmen, forming threatening long-range suppression, and giving full play to the advantages of the elite.

Sun Ce agreed happily. He asked the powerful crossbow commander Xie Kuan to select personnel to cooperate with Gan Ning to play, and arrange for the first-level and second-level shooters to play as much as possible. If the shortage is enough, he asked Xu Qian to arrange for forty tiger soldiers to protect the shooters.

Gan Ning was very grateful and didn't dare to be careless. A-level shooters are the best among the shooters. Sun Ce's command has only more than 100 A-level shooters, all of which are the backbone of the shooter camp. He proposed to ask for twenty people to help, which reserved room for bargaining. Unexpectedly, Sun Ce agreed and arranged the best shooter, so he didn't have to worry about the candidates for protection. This saved him a lot of worry. So many A-level shooters helped him, and he created an elite song out of thin air. Sniper is a unique training program in the shooter camp, and there are many professional skills that ordinary crossbowmen cannot reach.

After discussing the combat plan with Sun Ce, Gan Ning was worried and rushed to Huyue with Xie Kuan to check the terrain nearby.

Xie Kuan climbed up the hillside, personally surveyed the terrain, determined the locations of twenty archers, cooperated with appropriate crossbows, even the wind direction and vision, and wrote a few pages of paper. Gan Ning couldn't understand the marks, but he felt happy. With the help of these A-level archers, half of the tiger jumping passes have already bought it.

The news that the appearance of Sun Ce scout outside the Hu Yuewei quickly reached Gongsun Du's ears.

After reading the report, Gongsun Du was skeptical. He felt that this might be Sun Ce's suspicious army. It was fake to capture the tiger and jump the block. It was true to investigate the terrain of the tiger and jump the block. For the sake of suddenness, he came in a hurry. The food he carried with him was limited and could only be supported for half a month at most. The subsequent food was about to be delivered. The food of 50,000 infantry cavalry is not a small amount. Sun Ce may have received relevant news, and the possibility of robbing grain is very high.

In contrast, capturing the fortress is the most unlikely thing. Not to mention that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack when a tiger jumps, even if Sun Ce takes it, there is a more difficult fortress between him and Dashi City. To capture these two fortresses, Sun Ce will take at least one month to build armies, and he will have to pay several times or even dozens of times of casualties, and may even fail to capture it even if he suffers casualties.

Xu You also felt that the possibility was not great. This method was too clumsy, unlike Sun Ce's style. He suggested that Gongsun Du remind the general Gongsun Mo who was escorting food and grass, and let him be careful, especially not to expose the cavalry hidden in the dark. Even if it was slow, it wouldn't matter. Sun Ce was cautious in his work, and his scout camp was also very refined. Guo Jia was especially good at finding flaws from clues. If he noticed the secret tricks that Gongsun Mo had prepared, the plan might fail.

Gongsun Du acted according to the plan and was not at ease, so he arranged two thousand personal guards to pick him up to prevent accidents.
