Chapter 1323: Big bet (Page 1/1)

Sun Ce was skeptical, but he still let go of his hand. Guo Jia picked up the bamboo cup and took a sip of the wine, raised his head, closed his eyes, savored it carefully, swallowed slowly, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good wine, it's true that it's good wine. It's as clear as the snow and clear as the north wind blows, it's so satisfying."

Sun Ce also took a sip and didn't take it seriously. The wine was indeed a little stronger than ordinary wine, but it was far worse than the distilled liquor he drank in his previous life. If it weren't for the tight food, he really wanted to buy some distilled liquor to sell money. The Han people are addicted to alcohol and have a wide range of sales, so they will definitely make money, but he is very short of money now.

"Speak quickly, what's the plan?"

Guo Jia took two more sips, became energetic, his eyes were full of glittery light.

"General, Yuan Shao Nanlai was forced to do so, not well prepared, and had no worries. On the contrary, Jizhou may change at any time, especially after Yuan Tan returned to Yecheng, the possibility of a conflict with Shen Pei increased greatly." Guo Jia raised his lips slightly, and his expression was cunning. He reached out to touch Sun Shangxiang's head. "The third general was right just now. Yuan Shao was worried about internal and external troubles, like a pile of wages. For him, it was beneficial to win quickly and was not conducive to lasting. If he had the opportunity to defeat him in one battle, he would definitely take risks."

Sun Ce sipped the wine, and the wine flowed at the end of his tongue, the fragrance of the wine filled his heart and penetrated into his limbs and bones. He became more nervous and relaxed for days, and his qi and blood became active. He savored Guo Jia's analysis and suddenly realized a problem. In fact, it was not only him who was under great pressure, but Yuan Shao was more stressed than him. When people were under great pressure, they would make mistakes, their judgment would decrease, their vision would narrow, and they could only see in front of them, but not in the long run.

Of course they are no exception, Guo Jia is trying to take risks.

"You want to reveal a flaw and lure him into the trap?"

"Yes." Guo Jia looked at Zhuge Liang and then at Sun Shangxiang. "You guys say, what is the most fragrant bait for Yuan Shao?"

"Grain." Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said.

Guo Jia smiled but said nothing. Sun Shangxiang originally wanted to talk about food, but when she saw Guo Jia's expression, she swallowed the words to her mouth. She turned her eyes, thought about it carefully, and suddenly looked at Sun Ce. "I understand, it's the eldest brother."

Zhuge Liang suddenly realized and scratched his head embarrassedly.

Sun Ce still didn't quite understand what Guo Jia meant. Of course, he knew that Yuan Shao wanted to kill him, and he also wanted to kill Yuan Shao, but he knew very well that the troops on both sides were very different. Yuan Shao was not Yuan Tan. His 60,000 or 70,000 people were elite, especially those cavalrymen. They must not be taken lightly. If they really set up a formation, the two armies would have little chance of winning. Even if they win by luck, they would become the prey of others due to their great damage to their vitality. It is precisely because of this that he set up this formation, allowing Junyi to nail Yuan Shao's main force, keep a distance, use defense instead of attack, and compete with Yuan Shao for time.

"Yes, for Yuan Shao, the sweetest bait is the general. If you have the chance to kill the general, Yuan Shao will definitely not let it go."

"I'm right here, how dare he come?"

"I dare not now. Jun Yi has not stepped down and the food route is unstable. He has no chance of winning and dares to make a desperate bet. But what if someone surrounds Jun Yi, watches the general of the chariot and cavalry, and can open up another safe food route, or even provide him with food?"

Sun Ce understood what Guo Jia meant. "Zhang Miao?"

"That's right." Guo Jia snapped his fingers. "Yuan Shao wants to redeem Zhang Miao, we go with the flow and ask for a high price. Yuan Shao paid such a great price, how can he not seek rewards? It is no problem to ask Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao to provide military rations, recruit force, and surround Junyi. General of the chariot and cavalry sent people to curse the formation, angering Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao wanted to build a weir and store water, and wanted to attack Junyi City. Once the weir was completed, the general had to save it. Everything was natural."

"But how can we defeat Yuan Shao?"

"Navigation." Guo Jia narrowed his eyes and was full of murderous aura. "There are two or three months left to enter summer. There is a lot of rain in the Central Plains. Last year, the drought was severe. Logically, there will be more rain this year. Yuan Shao built a weir, Honggou water and gulf water in Junyi. They are the main sources of water. The water level rises, and it is more than enough to travel. In the rainy season, the navy goes up and enters Honggou, which only takes seven or eight days. Compared to land marching, it can be regarded as a surprise victory."

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and secretly applauded Guo Jia's imagination. Most people's eyes are within a hundred miles at most. Who would have thought of using the navy far away in the Bohai Sea as a surprise soldier? Using Yuan Shao to build a dam to store water, it can raise the water level of the gulf and the gulf water level, and even throw the tower ship into the battlefield. When dozens of tower ships equipped with stone throwers, powerful crossbows suddenly appeared behind Yuan Shao, cutting off Yuan Shao's grain route and retreat route, Yuan Shao's shock can be imagined. Even if he cannot completely wipe out him, it is entirely possible to seriously injure him.

Of course, the risk is not small. First, the navy is running thousands of miles away, and the possibility of being discovered is extremely high. Once Yuan Shao is alert, retreats early, or digs a dam and releases water, the tower ship is easily stranded, which is equivalent to falling to death. Second, the Zhang Miao brothers are uncontrollable. If they decide to cooperate with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao has not gone south, they will undoubtedly backfire and increase Junyi's risk.

No wonder Guo Jia wants to drink to gain courage. This plan will win if it succeeds, and if it fails, it will lose if it fails. It is much more risky than the relatively conservative plan now, and it is tantamount to a big bet.

Seeing Sun Ce pondering, Guo Jia didn't urge him. He slowly sipped the wine. Unconsciously finished a large glass of wine and leaned against the railing and started to snore. Sun Ce asked someone to carry Guo Jia. These days, Guo Jia was also very tired, and he drank a lot of wine and just took a nap. He also drank a lot of wine, but he became even more excited, and Guo Jia's plan kept circling in his mind.

The crescent moon in the sky gradually sets westward, the night is getting deeper, and the night wind is a little cool. Zhuge Liang, who was beside him, moved his body and wrapped his clothes tightly. Sun Ce looked back at him, stood up, and walked downstairs. The wind was strong upstairs, and he drank again, and it was easy to catch a cold.

"Kong Ming, what do you think of Jijiu's plan?"

"It's too risky." Zhuge Liang said without hesitation: "The chance of success is no more than 20%.

"Twenty percent?" Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. With Guo Jia's personality, if there was a 20% chance, he didn't need to be so cautious, so he wanted to drink and be brave. In his opinion, the chance of success was good. However, he did not simply deny Zhuge Liang. He wanted to hear what this genius who was born cautious looked at. Guo Jia said that Sun Shangxiang was a genius, but that was just a word of encouragement. Zhuge Liang was a real genius. He followed the military plan these days and made great progress. "If you were asked to implement this plan, what would you do?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Sun Ce in surprise. Sun Ce smiled and nodded encouragement. Zhuge Liang scratched his head and thought for a while. "General, can you give me two days? I want to think about it carefully."

"Of course. If you need a staff officer, you can also discuss it with them. I heard that you and Shi Guangyuan are getting along well?"

Zhuge Liang nodded. His relationship with Shi Tao is indeed very good, and everyone in the military planning department knows it. He looked at Sun Ce and mustered up the courage. "General, Lu Boyan...can it be?"

"Yes, you can discuss it with anyone you want."

"Thank you, General."
