Sun Ce was suspicious and subconsciously looked at Yuan Quan. Yuan Quan was also staring at Sun Ce, and was also confused. Seeing this, Guo Jia suddenly realized and hurriedly said, "General, you are ready. Let's go, the military planners are still waiting."

Sun Ce remembered the serious matter, nodded and agreed, said to Yuan Quan, and followed Guo Jia out of the cabin. Yuan Quan hesitated for a moment, chased to the door, and shouted: "General, do you want to prepare for a midnight snack?"

Sun Ce was very surprised. There was an emergency military service, and all the nearby military strategies were summoned. This meeting will definitely not be short. There is no need to explain the preparation of midnight snacks. In the past, Yuan Quan didn't have to ask at all and went to prepare directly. How could he do this more today? He didn't think too much and said casually: "Of course, there are more people today, prepare more."

"I understand." Yuan Quan covered the hatch door, was overjoyed, held his hands in front of his chest, and turned back and forth twice. He couldn't help but feel excited and exclaimed: "It's really amazing."

"Sister, what did you say?" Mi Lan on the couch lifted the curtain and lay lazily on the couch.

Yuan Quan walked to the couch and sat down, pinching Mi Lan's nose. "How is it different from the usual way to listen to your husband's voice?"

"No." Mi Lan was confused. "Just... it sounded a little?"

"Hehe, you..." Yuan Quan put his legs away, hugged them in front of his chest, put his chin on his knees, and his eyes lit up. "Actually, I didn't pay attention at first, but Guo Jijiu saw through it at first sight. Sister, weren't you paying attention? My husband's words have slightly revealed the quality of gold and jade."

Mi Lan thought for a moment and was surprised. She reached out and covered her mouth with her eyes wide open. "Sister, are you talking about... a god-like man?"

Yuan Quan couldn't hide his smile. "I don't know, but it should be. Sister, tell me how did it? When they discuss the big things in the world, we will discuss the big things in the boudoir. If the husband can really attain enlightenment, we might be able to ascend to heaven."

Mi Lan twisted. "Sister, have you... seen it all?"

"No, this is not a joke. I just saw it, but I don't know why, I have to ask you." Yuan Quan pulled Mi Lan up, hugged her in his arms, and urged her to say quickly. Mi Lan was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't resist Yuan Quan's threats and temptations. She thought about the wonderful prospect of becoming an immortal, so she endured her shame and recalled it bit by bit.

When Sun Ce came to the main cabin, more than 30 military plots had arrived. He was rumored to see the news he had just received, and he was talking in groups of three or five. Seeing Sun Ce and Guo Jia walking in side by side, he immediately closed his mouth and stood up to salute.

Sun Ce returned the favor and sat down on the chairman, winked at Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng stood up and read the message aloud. The message was not long, only more than 200 words, but it was concise and not simple. The rich content made no one present dare to take it lightly.

It is late June now, and there is more than a month before the autumn harvest. Whether the war will start after the autumn is now a very concerning issue for everyone. Some matters have begun to be prepared, and the soldiers and military plans on vacation have returned to the camp one after another. I suddenly heard this news, and it feels like a war is coming and the storm is about to come.

Youzhou is nearly a thousand miles away. Mi Zhu first sent the news to Qingzhou and then to Pingyu with a fast horse. Even if the journey goes smoothly, it will take at least fifteen days. Fifteen days ago, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu started a war with each other. With the preparation time between the two sides, and the delay in sending letters to various departments for help, this battle is likely to be imminent, and the two sides may have started a war.

Although it is a thousand miles away, Youzhou and Bingzhou are two fulcrums in Sun Ce's overall situation and play a role in restraining Yuan Shao. Whether these two points can play a role and how much they can play determines to a large extent whether Sun Ce can gain time for stable development. It is precisely because of the importance that Sun Ce specially invited Mi Zhu to take action. Mi's family has business dealings in Youzhou, and he is more familiar with the situation there than Jiang Gan.

But to be honest, Gongsun Zan's move was beyond Sun Ce's expectations and was not in his plan at all. He hoped that Gongsun Zan could make peace with Liu Yu, stabilize the rear, concentrate troops to harass Yuan Shao, rather than fight with Liu Yu, and reduce the burden on Yuan Shao.

This is simply backfire. Mi Zhu was probably confused, so he activated the emergency channel and tried to send the message back as soon as possible. Timely delivery of information comes at a cost. Qingzhou and Xuzhou are now in a mess, and the postal system is paralyzed. Sun Ce could only arrange for people to wait at the post station with horses. Whenever there is an emergency message, it will be delivered at different speeds according to the emergency level. Such messages are running at full speed at all speeds when they are powered. When a message is sent back, it may cost several or even dozens of horses to death. The value of a horse is one thing, and it is a problem that cannot be supplemented in a short period of time. If there is the same message again, it will not be able to be delivered quickly.

In other words, this method of delivery is unsustainable and one-time.

It was beyond reach. Looking at the military strategists who were talking in a low voice, Sun Ce felt very moved. If he had waited a few more years and had the ability to place Taishi Ci in Youzhou, he would not have been so passive. He could not have done anything when he saw that something unexpected happened in Youzhou.

Guo Jia waited for a moment and coughed lightly. The military planners immediately calmed down and looked at Guo Jia together.

"Manpower is sometimes poor, and Youzhou is thousands of miles away. Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu are not subordinates of generals, so it is inevitable that unexpected actions will be made. What we care about is not their life and death, but the impact of the changes in Youzhou situation on Yuan Shao, and then on us. No matter how the situation in Youzhou changes, the results are nothing more than two: either, hold up Yuan Shao; or be controlled by Yuan Shao and help Yuan Shao go south. The military strategy says: I cannot win, but I can win in the enemy. The information we collect now is incomplete and cannot make accurate judgments, so make the worst plan, and Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao and Youzhou fell into Yuan Shao's control for deduction. Thank you, all holidays will be cancelled from now, so people are divided into three groups, Youping led one group, Zhongsi led one group, and the remaining group is directly responsible for me, two groups deductions, and one group rest."

"Here." The military planners agreed, although most of them were scholars, they had the momentum in the army.

Guo Jia turned around and bowed to Sun Ce. "General, the situation is urgent. The Military Scheme Department ended the holiday early. Please adjust the rest of the holidays and make a salary increase according to the system. Some military plans to visit relatives but have not returned. The minister requested that they be allowed to bring their families back to the camp for temporary residence, so as to take their families and take care of both public and private affairs."

Sun Ce nodded. "Agree, everything is done according to the established system. Military plans that have abandoned private affairs will be credited for one more time. Everyone can bring their families into the camp, and the baggage camp will arrange food and accommodation uniformly." He stood up and looked solemnly, glanced across the faces of all military plans, and bowed, "Thank you all for your hard work."

The military planners were surprised and happy, exchanged glances with each other, and said in unison: "I hope to serve the general."
