Sun Ce leaned against the newly decorated window and looked at the faint green green on the lakeshore, and was in a daze. The breeze came and the face was not cold. The lake surface was sparkling, and several small boats were floating in the lake, and a faint ethereal song came from the wind. Lu Yi, who was on duty, stood quietly aside, still as if he was pine. After the Chinese New Year, he was thirteen years old, and his body was already full of youth. In the first month of the year, he returned to Wujun to visit relatives, and Lu Kang gave him a gift, and took his name as Boyan, and had high expectations for him.

The footsteps sounded, light and rapid. Sun Ce withdrew his gaze and looked at the stairs. Zhuge Liang was rigorous and rarely walked so quickly or even a little panicked. It seemed that something big happened, but I didn’t know whether it was the Qingzhou battlefield or the Yingchuan battlefield.

Both battlefields were very nervous. Shen You and others took the battle for the first time, and Huang Zhong was invincible. Moreover, their opponents were not ordinary people. One was Yan Liang, who was later called the leader of the Four Pillars of Hebei, and the other was the No. 1 Hebei general, Tuo Yi.

Zhuge Liang quickly walked to Sun Ce, his breath was a little anxious. "General."

Sun Ce raised his eyelids and glanced at him. "What's the matter?"

"Qingzhou Battle Report." Zhuge Liang said, and handed over the battle report. The battle report had a lot of contents, a thick stack with a piece of paper on it. The abstract was written in Zhuge Liang's handwriting. Zhuge Liang's calligraphy was very good. Like others, it was neat and concise, and there was nothing fancy, but it made people feel comfortable to see. Sun Ce twisted his fingers, took them over, and picked up the summary first.

Unconsciously, his heartbeats a little fast. He had been thinking about the decision to arrange Shen You to go to war for a long time, not only to compete for Qingzhou, but also to have a plan to balance the faction. The strength of the Jingzhou Group and the Yuzhou Group are already considerable. If the Yangzhou Group is not supported as soon as possible, the morale of the Jiangdong soldiers will be affected and his foundation will be unstable.

However, Shen You had no combat experience, and the same was true for his generals Ling Cao, Zhang Yun and others. Yuan Xi was just a talented man, and Yan Liang was a powerful general. In fact, many people had questions about whether Shen You and others could defeat him, including Sun Ce himself. Although the Jiangdong Army had obvious advantages in terms of equipment and training, the experience of the generals was still very important when the two armies fought. Now that the battle report is here, he didn't know whether the result was as he expected. If Shen You had a crushing defeat, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Yangzhou Group and would have an immeasurable impact on his strategic layout.

Sun Ce calmed down and picked up the summary.

The summary is simple: Shen You led his troops to repel Yan Liang, rescue Tian Kai, beheaded more than 2,000 yuan, Zhang Yun was killed, and his troops lost nearly half.

"Is Zhang Yun dead?" Sun Ce frowned.

"Prince Zhang fought with Yan Liang head-on, dragging Yan Liang down and creating an opportunity for General Shen to defeat Yan Liang."

Sun Ce did not say anything, and made two breaths to restore himself to calm. The general was inevitably killed in the battle. Although it was a pity that Zhang Yun died, Shen You won after all, not only stabilized Qingzhou, but also proved that these Jiangdong troops were available. I believe no one could say anything about this when he was on the battlefield for the first time and could achieve such a battle. He opened the General's newspaper and read it carefully. The military newspaper was written by Pang Tong, which was equipped with a detailed combat map. Sun Ce laid the map aside, compared the map while reading the military newspaper and analyzing the gains and losses. This military newspaper will become a textbook for the martial arts lecture hall in the future. Pang Tong wrote it in the format of the edited textbook, from geography to pre-war situation, from the advantages and disadvantages of both sides to pre-war analysis, one by one, comprehensive and thorough, and extremely organized.

After reading it, Sun Ce put down the battle report and closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. "Kong Ming, I heard that Yan Liang is also from Langya. What do you think of you, the village party?"

"He is good at martial arts, boldness, good intuition, and quick reaction. He is the general in terms of the matter, but he is not the opponent of General Chen."

“Why?”

"High martial arts skills, great courage, good intuition, and quick reaction." Zhuge Liang smiled. "But he was not cautious enough, he did not collect enough information before the war, and was not decisive enough in the battle. He dared not to burn his boats to decide the outcome." He paused and said, "I think he should be reluctant to leave his own team."

Sun Ce smiled and looked slightly. "If you were Yan Liang, what would you do?"

Zhuge Liang raised his hand and scratched his temples with his tail finger. "The best strategy is to stick to Fu Zongshan, and the worst strategy is to take a desperate bet and attack General Shen's headquarters."

Sun Ce glanced at Zhuge Liang in surprise. It is understandable that it is a very stable tactic, which is in line with Zhuge Liang's character of seeking stability. However, Ling Cao and Zhang Yunyu, who were winged, ignored him and attacked Shen Youbu, the strongest, which was not like Zhuge Liang's style. Could it be that his personality has also changed with him?

"I think Yan Liang's use of the middle strategy is not as good as your best strategy, but it is worse than your worst strategy. But you are right. He did not collect enough information before the war and his strength was insufficient. But this is not his responsibility, and he does not have such conditions. If he is required by the standards of the generals, even if he is not excellent, he is still middle-class and superior. It is enough to be a sharp stone for Shen You."

Zhuge Liang said nothing and nodded. Although Yan Liang was defeated by Shen You in the end, he faced twice his superior force, and killed Zhang Yun in a formation, and achieved almost a considerable casualties, which could not be considered defeated. Pang Tong only said that he would defeat Yan Liang, but did not say that he would defeat Yan Liang, because of this consideration.

Of course, this is also the closest chance for Yan Liang to win. This time he failed to defeat Shen You, and there will be no chance in the future. Shen You will become stronger and stronger, and Yan Liang is controlled by Yuan Xi and does not have much room for growth. His background cannot make Yuan Xi obey him. Feng Ji obeys his words. The two sides have different identities and uneven powers, so naturally they have no strength to compete.

"Is there any news coming to Yingchuan?"

"Not yet, but it should be soon. Calculated by the time, Queyi and Xun Yan will soon arrive in Yangdi, and General Huang should not let them meet with Huang Wan."

Sun Ce smiled but said nothing. Zhuge Liang saw it and knew that Sun Ce had different opinions. He opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but swallowed it back. Seeing this, Sun Ce turned around and said to Lu Yi: "Boyan, what do you think?"

Lu Yi bowed slightly. "I don't know much about General Huang's tactics and dare not speculate. However, it's not bad for Huang Wan and Que Yi to meet. Huang Wan was led by Luoyang military farm soldiers. Originally, they were old subordinates of Zhu Gong, but Que Yi led by Jizhou soldiers. It was difficult for them to have a tacit understanding, but there was a possibility of conflict. Que Yi was short of food, and because Xun Yan stopped him, he could not collect it on the spot. He met with Huang Wan, so naturally he wanted to get food support from Luoyang, but Luoyang had limited food storage, so he was afraid that he could not meet Que Yi's requirements. Over time, conflicts were inevitable."

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed slightly, he glanced at Lu Yi, nodded in agreement. "Bo Yan's statement is reasonable, and there is indeed a possibility. In this way, General Huang should stick to Luyang and use static to control his movements. It will be hot in a few days. Jizhou led by Queyi may not adapt to the climate of the Central Plains. If time goes on for a long time, it is possible that the environment will not be adapted to."

"That's right, victory is more important than long-term. Yuan Shao comes from thousands of miles away, and the profit is quick victory. Our army defends on the spot, and the profit is lasting. The longer the time is delayed, the more beneficial it is for us." Lu Gong said a few more words. "Just like Yuan Shao is over fifty years old, but the general is just weak. The gap is thirty years old. We don't need to hurry. The one who is anxious should be Yuan Shao, who will guard the clouds and the moon will be bright naturally."

Looking at the two genius boys, Sun Ce was very pleased. It was said that time was on my side. Thirty years later, I had so many geniuses to use. Where is Yuan Shao? The trees on his grave can almost be made into a beam. Why am I in a hurry? It can also consume him to death.
