Sun Ce and Guo Jia sat opposite each other, with basically the same posture, just like looking in the mirror. Novel. However, Sun Ce was wearing armor and had a strong figure. Although Guo Jia was older, he had exercised a lot recently and had a rosy complexion, he still looked very gentle compared to Sun Ce.

"Yi, Xun Yan forced him to seek a decisive battle, but he surrounded him but did not attack. There are two possibilities: one is that he lacks confidence and was not prepared enough; the other is that other factors appear and the plan changes." Guo Jia shook his feather fan and said slowly. "These knights are the key. If my guess is true, then the Yingchuan battlefield is not isolated, but controlled by Yuan Shao three hundred miles away. For me, there are pros and cons. The advantage is that Yuan Shao is indecisive and indecisive, and is far away from Junyi and has a slow reaction. The disadvantages are also obvious. We must not only consider the Yingchuan battlefield, but also the Junyi battlefield."

Sun Ce didn't say anything. He was the same as Guo Jia. Sun Jian was more than enough to defend Junyi City, but he had no chance of winning after leaving the city. If Yuan Shao integrated the two battlefields together and considered comprehensively, the gap between the total strength of the two sides would be more obvious, especially the cavalry. Yuan Shao had nearly 10,000 elite cavalry and could raid for a long distance, but he was mainly infantry. Even if he marched like Xiahou Yuan, he would take at least two days to marches like five hundred days and one thousand days.

What's more, Xiahou Yuan, who likes to marching in a hurry, has already received the lunch box in advance. He ambushed Xiahou Yuan because he knew the disadvantages of marching in a hurry. Now letting them learn from Xiahou Yuan is definitely not a pleasant thing.

He didn't want such a thing to happen, but he knew better that the possibility of such thing was not not there. He just didn't know Yuan Shao's specific plan.

What to do? Sun Ce raised his eyelids and looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows. "Don't worry, wait until I think about it. These cavalry may be slalomers, or Xun Yan's pretentious and implicit actions, forcing us to take the initiative to attack. He is very comfortable to wait for his work."

Sun Ce nodded. This may also exist. Xun Yan may not have much experience in commanding troops, but he is by no means an ordinary general. These virtual and real techniques are very easy to play. Even at the same location, the same opponent has completely different attacks and defenses. The attacking side has the initiative, but it still has to pay more physical strength and casualties. Although the defense side is a bit passive, it is easy to wait for labor, save physical strength, and maintain the formation, and the casualties will be much smaller. If you can lure the opponent to attack your own strong formation, it is undoubtedly a good choice.

In particular, Xun Yan led the military troops of Huang Wan's old subordinates and the Yingchuan family's troops as the main force, and defending instead of attacking was beneficial to him.

Sun Ce could see that there was insufficient information and was as smart as Guo Jia, but it was difficult to make a decision. He thought about it and made a decision. "In the morning, instead of racking his brains to guess how Yuan Shao and Xun Yan would make arrangements, it would be better to think about how they would deal with it if we took the initiative to attack. Let him take a thousand moves, I will only use one move to fight with fast and slow, and use clumsy to break the tricks."

Guo Jia agreed. "The general is right. Although Yuan Shao has many soldiers, the ones that can be called elite are limited. Although we have few soldiers, we are all elite. Instead of guessing, it is better to concentrate our troops and rescue them, and force him to follow our rhythm. No matter what ideas Xun Yan is making, it is a fact that the military troops led by him are not strong in fighting with the aristocratic families. Let's start with him first."

Sun Ce stood up and shook his head. "No, attack Yi first."

"Attack Yi first?" Guo Jia hesitated and did not agree with it in his expression.

Sun Ce understood his concerns. It is common sense to be weak first and then strong. Xun Yan's army was not strong in combat and had weak fighting spirit. Once they suffered a fierce attack, there was a high possibility of collapse. Xun Yan's army collapsed, righteous morale was frustrated, and they were isolated and helpless, and their combat power would be greatly reduced. But everything has two sides. If righteousness is on the side, Xun Yan has hope and may be able to last longer. The gap between the forces between the two sides is obvious. Once Xun Yan survives this period, the defeat will become a stalemate, which may give Yi a chance to take advantage of the situation.

Since you want to attack hard, it is better to find the strongest opponent, Yi, who is known as the number one general in Hebei, to hit the morale of the opponent. Even if the losses are relatively large, even if you retreat to Xu County and Changshe area, you can still support the military farming soldiers. After Yi was injured, the remaining Xun Yan's troops were limited in battle and the danger coefficient was much smaller.

There is no absolute good or bad tactics, and the only difference is whether it is suitable for harmony. Yi's subordinates are called elite, but Sun Ce believes that his subordinates are better. If they defeat Yi first as soon as the war begins, the impact on both sides of the morale should be far greater than defeating Xun Yan.

After hearing Sun Ce's thoughts, Guo Jia did not object. He just proposed to let Man Chong and Xu Sheng advance to Jun Yi and restrain Yuan Shao's troops. No matter what Yuan Shao's idea was, he could not be too satisfied. Letting the navy attack, even if it was a bluff, could play a certain role.

"It's a pity that there has been no news in Qingzhou. If Gan Xingba and the others can arrive in time, we will have another chance of winning."

"Don't think so much." Sun Ce stood up and patted Xiang Yu's sword on his waist. "I have the confidence to defeat Yi and Yuan Shao. You must also have the confidence to defeat Xun Yan and defeat you, Cong Shu Guotu."

Guo Jia laughed loudly, and then recruited troops to deduce the battle process to avoid major flaws as much as possible. No matter how bold the plan is, it is based on strength. People's subjective initiative has a positive effect, but it is impossible to deviate from objective laws.

The war is imminent, and Sun Ce generals such as Lu Su, Dong Xi have recruited generals such as the Central Army to participate in the deduction of the military plan, so that they can understand their tasks so that they can respond temporarily. Once the war begins, tens of thousands of people on both sides will be mixed together, and they will vary from hundreds of steps to several miles apart. Even if the orders are sent by flags and drums, there will always be delays. In severe cases, the contact may even be cut off, and the generals can only rely on the subjective judgment of the generals. At this time, it is very important for each general to know what they should do. Only when everyone thinks in the same direction and works in the same direction can they exert more strength, defeat their opponents, and achieve the expected combat goals.

Forty or fifty people discussed for most of the day, even dinner was eaten together. Junmou and the generals sat in the same seat, while eating and discussing. No one cared about the teachings of the saint who was speechless. They were so excited that there were many people who slapped the table and smashed the bowl.

In the middle of the night, the plan was finalized, and the generals of each battalion returned to the battalion to prepare. Thinking that they would take the initiative to attack tomorrow morning, Sun Ce and Guo Jia were speechless, and their hearts were a little heavy. They were shot without turning back. Once the war started, it was impossible to stop and think about it. Even if they were wrong, even if they knew that there was a sea of ​​swords and fire in front of them, they could only rush forward with their teeth.

"General..." Guo Jia wanted to speak but stopped.

"Okay, I know what you want to say." Sun Ce smiled. He will take the personal guard camp to confront each other tomorrow. Guo Jia stayed in the camp to take charge of the central army. The victory and defeat were unpredictable. Whether he could meet the other party alive was a question. The strength gap between the enemy and us was obvious, and even Guo Jia was very nervous.

He was as nervous as Guo Jia. But he knew that nervousness was useless, but he was much more calm. Guo Jia was nervous because there were too many uncontrollable factors and he was not nervous because he believed that his destiny was in his own hands, and it was not that easy for Yi to defeat him.

"General, although morale should be boosted rather than discharged, I would like to remind you, if the situation is not good, don't force it. Even if we give up Yuzhou and retreat to Jiangdong, we still have the opportunity to revive our momentum and make a comeback."

Sun Ce laughed. "Don't worry, I may not be able to defeat Yi, but I want to leave, Yi can't stop him."

Guo Jia nodded and was about to say something else, Guo Wu walked in. "General, Li Guangqu's Yin Damu is here."
