Dong Xi is eight feet tall and can definitely stand out among the people in Jiangnan. He is full of curly beards and tall and mighty. At first glance, he is the kind of upright temper who has a personality and is unwilling to be easily convinced, but once he is convinced, he will be devoted to the wholeheartedness.

Dong Xi was not surprised at all to meet Sun Ce here. On the contrary, he was not surprised at Guo Yi and others who were limited to Guling and did not pay attention to such important methods as Chadu. When talking about Guo Yi and others, he looked disgusted and directly criticized him as a scholar.

Birds of birds flocked together, and Dong Xi was very fond of Ma Chao's appetite. The two chatted very happily. Although Dong Xi's official words had a strong local accent, Ma Chao could only barely understand part of them. Sun Ce led Dong Xi to the riverside and met Gan Ning and Ling Cao. Seeing the soldiers on the hillsides on both sides, they looked at these generals who were not gentle and gentle. Dong Xi patted the back of his head with lingering fear, and a cold air broke out from behind.

Even if a person who is not a good military strategy is clear when he sees this situation, it is expected that if he is an enemy but a friend, he will be hit hard in this ambush circle and be severely damaged, and it is not impossible to wipe out the entire army. Although there are not many of these people in front of him, they are all elites, and their own troops are not opponents at all, and they can only be abused.

Heroes cherish heroes. Although Dong Xi only saw a small part of Sun Ce's strength, he immediately fell in love with him and felt that he had finally found a like-minded person. It would be interesting to fight with such a hero. What is the future of mingling with Guo Yi and others? At first sight, Dong Xi quickly put forward his own suggestions: to rush to Shanyin.

"Guo Yi was intimidated by the reputation of the Ming Mansion. He not only gathered all the county soldiers, but also summoned many bandits, such as Huang Longluo, a thief near Shanyin, and Zhou Bo was among them. These people usually hide in the mountains, and if they are profitable, they will move forward like bees, and if they are unfavorable, they will scatter birds and beasts. Although their combat effectiveness is average, it is extremely troublesome. Now, by Guo Yi, gathering Guling is a good opportunity to catch all the troops. Shanyin is empty and can be determined by one battle. Then send people to seize Zhuji, and Yuji two counties. Guling cannot get food supplies and collapses at most a month."

While speaking, Dong Xi used a sword to draw grasslands on the ground to illustrate the situation. Although Kuaiji is vast, what is now developed is the coastal plain. There are thirteen cities in the county, and seven cities are located in this narrow and long area. Yuji is located on the westernmost county. Not far east is Shanyin, and it is connected to Zhuji and Wushang, but it is very far apart. If you capture Shanyin, the grain from the counties east of Shanyin will not be transported to Guling, and Guling will become an isolated city.

If there is no support, no food, no support, no reinforcements or food, there will be no defeat.

Sun Ce was in a state of mind and immediately took Dong Xi across the river to discuss with Guo Jia. Guo Jia was good at observing his face. If there was anything wrong with Dong Xi, it would be difficult for him to hide it from Guo Jia's eyes. Although he believed that Dong Xi would not be a bait, it was related to the survival of thousands of people and whether he could occupy Kuaiji, so he had to do it carefully.

Guo Jia agreed with Dong Xi's suggestion and proposed to add it. He suggested to surround Guling with heavy troops, and then send a light cavalry to Shangyu to welcome Gu Yong, and let him rush to Shanyin to act as the prefect, so as not to rush to Sun Ce personally. Although Guling is full of county soldiers and bandits, there are 20,000 people after all. If Sun Ce cannot take charge and coordinate the generals, the goal of annihilation will be difficult to achieve.

Sun Ce agreed with Guo Jia's suggestion and was about to nod, but suddenly remembered something. "In the Yuan Dynasty, there was a man named Yu Fan in Yuyao. Are you familiar with it?"

Dong Xi curled his lips. "General, Yu Kuaiji clan, and Yu Fan is even more famous madman, so I am naturally familiar with it."

"Do you think he will be in Guling?"

"Won't."

Seeing that Dong Xi answered so affirmatively, Sun Ce was puzzled. Dong Xi explained: "The general doesn't know what he has. Yu's eyes are very high, and it's hard for idle people to see him. Because of his poor words, he doesn't know how many people he offended. He can't talk to Guo Yi and others, and he will not get involved with these mobs. The five generations of Yu family ruled Yi, how could he not know that these people were defeated or not? "

Sun Ce laughed secretly. Yu Fan's stinky mouth was indeed famous. It was probably not only Guo Yi and others who were despised by him. Dong Xi was probably also disgraced, and he was a little afraid of Yu Fan in his words. With his personality, it was not because his academic performance was inferior to Yu Fan, but because he suffered a loss with Yu Fan.

"Since that's the case, I'll just invite you together." Sun Ce then called Jiang Gan, took a few words, and asked Yan Xing to bring a hundred cavalry to escort Jiang Gan to Shangyu. Yuyao invited Gu Yong and Yu Fan. Dong Xi heard this and quickly reminded Sun Ce that Yu Fan had a bad temper and probably wouldn't accept the invitation. Maybe he would say a few bad words. Sun Ce was confident, picked up a pen, drew a few strokes on the paper, wrote a few words, sealed them with a copper tube, and asked Jiang Gan to take them with him. If Yu Fan refused to come, show him this. If he didn't come, he would do whatever he wanted.

Dong Xi saw it and was skeptical.

Jiang Gan took the order and left, and Sun Ce immediately arranged to cross the river and rushed to Guling City.

——

Sheng Xian stood on the top of the mountain and looked down at the river.

Guling City is sandwiched between two waters, with a river in the west and Guling Lake in the east. Guling is built on Hucheng Mountain in the west of the lake. Xiajia Mountain is located in the east of the lake. The lake water is connected to Yaogao River. Part of the source of Yaogao River comes from the mountain and part of it comes from Gushui. Qidu is a ferry suitable for ship docking. From Wujun to Kuaiji, you usually land here.

If you control Guling, you will control the shudu. As long as the defenders set up strong bows, crossbows, long halberds and large shields on the shore, and condescendingly, even if the attacking side can fight, the casualties will be very heavy.

"Can Sun Ce land here?" Sheng Xian sneered: "Xu Gong is stupid and dies. He is not defeated by Sun Ce, but by the Wujun clan. If he hadn't killed innocent people indiscriminately and was separated from the Wujun clan, why would he have to go out of the city to fight Sun Ce? He would have been useless to defend the city and no matter how many Sun Ce had a large number of people."

Shen Zhi disagreed. "Aweng, Guling is strong, but Guling has limited grain storage. Usually, only 20,000 to 30,000 stones of grain are enough for two thousand people to eat for half a year. Now 20,000 people are here at once, and the grain storage is only enough for half a month. Every half month, you have to go to nearby Yuji to transport grain. If you want to defend Guling, you must defend Yuji. Let's hurry up. If Sun Ce seizes Yuji City, Guling will not be able to defend even if it is strong."

"Sun Ce cannot land here, how can he get Yu Ji?" Sheng Xian sneered. "Do you think he is really a phoenix bird and can fly over?"

Shen Zhi did not want to argue with Sheng Xian, and urged Sheng Xian to go down the mountain. He understood Guo Yi's military deployment and knew that there were major flaws, but he did not want to remind Sheng Xian, nor did he want to remind Guo Yi. In Guling, he felt deep malice. He regarded himself as a scholar, but because the Shen family was good at martial arts, Guo Yi looked down on him and regarded him as a pure warrior, treating him like those bandits. He didn't want to help Guo Yi, and was insulted, and he didn't want to stay in Guling. He deliberately came up with a plan to ask Sheng Xian to ask himself to Shou Yuji. He was neglected, and Sheng Xian felt embarrassed and agreed to his suggestion, but he still disagreed with his concerns and stubbornly believed that Sun Ce could not break through Guling.
