After listening to Wen Pin's plan, Sun Ce could confirm 100%. This is Wen Pin in history. Wen Pin, who has no outstanding military achievements, is steady and good at defending, and has almost never suffered a great defeat. He is a defensive general, and he has played steadily and rarely has obvious flaws.

The defense line of two lines and three points is very solid. Compared to only guarding Wu Pass, Wenpin's plan has increased four points. When Wu Pass is not broken, these four points can be used as material transfer stations to reinforce Wu Pass. When Wu Pass is broken, these four points can also control the north and south directions, resist step by step, delay the enemy's advancement speed, and gain valuable time.

Siege is always the most time-consuming. Even with stone throwing machines, the supply of stones is a troublesome. Moreover, Xu Rong led the Xiliang army, and cavalrying is the strength, while manufacturing complex weapons such as stone throwing machines are a shortcoming. As long as these cities are guarded, Xu Rong dared not rush straight to Wancheng or Xiangyang without any scruples.

Compared with his previous plan to focus on guarding Wu Pass, this plan is more solid and comprehensive.

"There are now three thousand people in Wuguan. They are the old subordinates of my father, and their combat power is pretty good. I have sent some craftsmen to build the city guarding equipment, but the time is short, and it may not be enough. How many more people do you need?"

Wen Pin thought for a while. "General, I want to ask for the right to recruit troops independently."

"Recruiting troops independently?"

"Yes, I don't need a general to have a soldier, I just need the general to give me the right to recruit soldiers independently. I will definitely find like-minded village party. Guarding Wu Pass is for Nanyang, and locals can stick to it the most."

Sun Strategy thought and nodded solemnly. "Okay, the rescue is like putting out a fire. I will give you two days. You can take as many people as you can. I will allocate as much weapons and food as you can."

Wen Pin looked at Sun Ce in disbelief. It was not until Deng Zhan pulled his sleeve that he woke up as if he was dreaming, walked backwards, fell to the ground, and shouted: "Here."

Sun Ce put away the map and said slowly: "Wen Zhongye, there may be some misunderstandings between you and me, but it doesn't matter. The road is far away and the horsepower is seen, and it won't take long to see people's hearts. You will know that we are fellow practitioners. If you have to say that there is any difference, it is probably that you only want to protect Nanyang, while I want to protect the whole world, that's all."

Wen Pin raised his head. Sun Ce's eyes were full of blood and fatigue, but his eyes were very clear and firm. Wen Pin's heart was filled with excitement. Compared to letting him command troops, Sun Ce's understanding and support for him to protect the countryside made him more moved. It is rare to be a soulmate, so I came to the right night.

"If there is this day, Wen Pin is willing to drive away from the general and die."

——

After seeing off Wen Pin and Deng Zhan, it was already midnight. Sun Ce was sleepy and tired, but he couldn't rest.

Yan Xiang is still waiting for him.

Sun Cezhi wanted to curse her, this job is really not done by human beings. Yuan Shu was so comfortable when he was the lord. The revolutionary wine was drunk every day. Why was my lord so hard that I was injured and couldn't sleep in the middle of the night? He looked at Yuan Shu in the spiritual bed and suddenly became a little envious of him.

A fool can also have a fool's happiness. There is Yuan Shu in front of you and Adou in the future. They all say they are stupid, but they are enjoying life.

Yan Xiang was also very tired. After running around in the camp of the generals for most of the day, his saliva was dry, his throat was hoarse, and he had a big fight with Yang Hong, but the results were very limited. The generals either perfunctorily or did not see him, or few people were willing to accept Yuan Shu's orders and ruled by Sun Ce. Some even said that he was unfaithful and colluded with Sun Ce to seize Yuan Shu's men.

Facing Sun Ce, Yan Xiang was ashamed and didn't know how to speak.

Sun Ce said nothing and asked someone to bring out the prepared meal. Although there was no wine or meat, it was steaming. Before Yan Xiang could swallow a bite of the rice, tears came out. He had assisted Yuan Shu for so long and had eaten a lot of good wine and good dishes, but it was not as warm as this hot rice. Compared to the generals outside the city who ate and drank a lot despite Yuan Shu's new mourning and always despised Sun Ce, who was always despised by others, was able to eat politely. The difference was really not a little bit.

After Yan Xiang finished eating, Sun Ce personally brought a cup of hot water. "Sir, thank you for your hard work for a day, you have a good rest. I have something to worry about tomorrow."

Yan Xiang took the hot water and held it in his palm, shook his head with a wry smile. "General, I'm not afraid of hard work, but I really can't help the general. My Yan family is quite famous in Guanzhong, but it's far from the Hongnong Yang family. At least half of the generals are disciples of the Yang family."

"Sir, don't be discouraged. Those people are greedy. Even if they are radiant, they won't listen." Sun Ce smiled slightly, whispered a few words in Yan Xiang's ear, and patted Yan Xiang's shoulder and wiped off a few snowflakes. "I'll ask you to do this for me, and you must do it well."

Yan Xiang stared at Sun Ce, opened her mouth and did not move until her palm was burned by the cup. Then she woke up and said quickly: "Don't worry, General, this matter will definitely be done." He slapped his forehead hard. "I'm so confused. Haha, the younger generation is terrifying. The ancients are really not bullying me." He turned around and walked to the spiritual bed, stood up in front of Yuan Shu's body, and said in tears: "The lord's wisdom is not accessible to anyone. With Sun Lang like this, lord, you can feel at ease."

The next morning, before dawn, Yuan Quan woke up. She got out of bed carefully, called the maid to get water and wash, and asked about the situation in the front yard while combing her hair. As soon as the maid opened the conversation, she couldn't stop talking and talked endlessly about what Sun Ce had handled in the middle of the night, as if she had seen him in person. Yuan Quan was a little surprised. She made people pay attention to the previous matters and reported it as soon as there was a situation, but didn't let someone stare at Sun Ce. Why did the maid know so clearly?

"Mrs. I don't know that Sun Lang is old and mature. Not only did Captain Lei admire him so much that he was overwhelmed, but even a wise man like Mr. Yan obeyed him. Yesterday, when Mr. Yan came back, he was worried. General Sun later said a few words in his ear. He was immediately happy and told General Yuan that he could rest assured."

Yuan Quan was skeptical, but he also became a little curious. She asked Huang Yi again, and the maid immediately lowered her face and scolded her a few words in anger. These maids were all left by Yuan Quan since childhood and never looked down on Huang Yi. When Yuan Shu was in great destruction, Huang Yi did not go to guard the spirits and hid in his room to drink and eat meat. These maids were very indignant, so naturally there was nothing good to say to him.

Yuan Quan was very calm. She felt a clear-headed person like Huang Yi, and she didn't need maids to add fuel to the fire. The marriage between the Yuan and Huang families was one of the inevitable marriages between the aristocratic families, and the other was that Huang Yi wanted to cling to the Yuan family, but he was not famous enough and failed to climb Yuan Shao's high branch, so he had to marry her reluctantly. It was normal that he had resentment if he failed to become an official.

When Yuan Quan thought of Huang Yi, he felt uneasy again. He hurriedly finished washing and quietly came to the front hall. She got up too early and before he could clean the snow in the yard. Yuan Quan walked past the middle door and came to the front hall. Yuan Quan glanced at the room on the west side, but found that the door was wide open, the bedding on the bed was neatly folded, but the room was empty. She was very curious. When she walked to the corridor, she saw Sun Ce wearing a white single-clothed dress and practicing martial arts beside the plum tree on the jade tree. She didn't know what boxing was. She didn't have the murderous aura of ordinary people practicing martial arts, but she felt calm and righteous.

Yuan Shu was immediately immersed in sight, and watched Sun Ce quietly finish his punches, standing upright under the plum blossoms.

Between the heaven and earth, there is a piece of white. People are like bright jade, pleasing to the eyes. Plum has a faint fragrance that refreshes the heart.
