Chapter 1485: Stop when you see the good (Xuan Qingzhu rewards and updates) (Page 1/1)

Sun Ce retreated more than ten miles, and after meeting with Lu Su, he set up camp on the spot. He ordered Yan Xing to lead his troops to inquire about the situation, and be sure to understand the deployment of Yuan's army. It is best to find out about Yuan Shao's situation. Whether Yuan Shao died or not had a decisive impact on Yuan's morale.

Guo Jia cleaned up the battlefield behind him, received the news, and rushed to the camp overnight. After listening to the relevant description, especially the Yuan army attacked and surrounded Han Yin's subordinates and wiped them out. Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said, "This is not like Yuan Shao's tactics. Yuan Shao should have been injured, and it is not light."

Sun Ce nodded. He didn't know if the short spear thrown by Ma Chao and others hurt Yuan Shao, but he believed that his sword would definitely hurt Yuan Shao hard. If Yuan Shao was not injured, his army would not collapse so easily. He was very decisive in dealing with Han Yin, especially using the elliptical as bait. It was not very similar to Yuan Shao's style. The elliptical was Yuan Shao's personal guard cavalry, and he could not be so decisive.

"So, is Ju Su presided over the war?"

Guo Jia smiled. "General, we think of going together. If Yuan Shao was seriously injured, my uncle would definitely be by his side and not give others a chance to make suggestions. Yuan Shao died, and Yuan Tan was also there. Besides, the habit of their generation was to fight for power. The things in the court were to kill people without blood. They didn't look at the direct and life-and-death situation on the battlefield. After fifty years of age, the habit has become, and it is difficult to change."

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. Guo Jia always hit the nail on the head. Isn't Guo Tu like this? He didn't forget to exclude Zhang He and Gao Lan at such a critical moment, and forced the two to surrender directly to Cao Cao. Alas, it would be great if he could force Zhang He and Gao Lan to rebel now.

There are gains and losses.

“What should I do now?”

"Stay first." Guo Jia shook his feather fan. "The more you are, the more urgent it is. In this battle, we killed and captured at least 30,000 prisoners, and the baggage and food were piled up like mountains, which took time to clean up. Yuan Shao was injured, the army was defeated, and his morale was low. Even if Ju Su had the wisdom of peace, he could not reverse the situation. First of all, he could not solve the problem of food and food. Without food, he could not hold on for too long."

Sun Ce calculated. Yuan Shao's central army infantry was commanded by Guo Tu and Ju Su. He left Guandu early and took away some food, grass and supplies. However, Gao Lan and others behind the palace were caught up and defeated. The system was kept intact and only the Xun Yan's troops, which were originally in the Cross Valley, and some of the troops of the central army. The total force was about 20,000, and in addition, there were four or five thousand Hu cavalry. With this number of people and horses, there were not enough supplies and food, as long as he did not make any mistakes, Ju Su's possibility of turning the tables was infinitely close to zero.

"General, do you want to chase and fight relentlessly, or do you want to stop when you see it?" Guo Jia suddenly said.

“How to say it?”

"Our original purpose was to repel Yuan Shao and defend Yuzhou. Now this mission has been completed. If the general intends to stop when it is good, we don't have to attack. When Yuan Shao retreats, we can minimize casualties. If the general wants to go further, severely damage or even wipe out Yuan Shao, then we have to take the initiative to attack, which may cost a greater price and take a longer recovery time. Of course, there are also benefits. The power of a battle is enough to make people with bad intentions worry about and dare not act rashly, but this is false after all, and it is not effective for all opponents. If someone takes risks, we can only accompany him. At that time, we need enough troops to have a chance of victory."

Sun Ce pondered and did not immediately answer Guo Jia. So far, except for the Han Yin tribe, he has won almost every battle, but he has suffered a lot of losses, and the accumulated casualties have reached more than 40%. These soldiers who have fought fiercely are the most precious wealth, and in the future, these people are the best backbone for expanding their troops. If the losses are too large, even if the number of people meets the standard, their combat effectiveness will be insufficient.

After this battle, he has become the strongest prince. Even if he wants to keep a low profile, others may not give him a chance. A severe injury to Yuan Shao can scare some people, but not everyone. Fighting is inevitable, so it is better to keep more backbones. If you are determined to severely damage Yuan Shao or even kill him, even if you suffer too much casualties and have too long recovery period, you will inevitably be taken advantage of by others.

"Continue." Sun Ce nodded to Guo Jia.

"Huang Wan surrendered half a month ago. He Xian didn't know where to go. It might be because he went to Chang'an. Chang'an might send someone to take over Luoyang at any time. Yuan Shao did not go north, but went west instead, and wanted to be in a grievance and form an alliance with the court. Now that Yuan Shao is injured, Huang Zhong blocks his way. We can basically ignore the possibility of Yuan Shao entering Luoyang, but we cannot ignore the possibility of the court sending someone to take over Luoyang. If you have been entangled with Yuan Shao for too long, you may lose the big picture because of a small loss."

Sun Ce frowned, pondered for a long time, and looked slightly. "Fengxiao, your horizons are getting wider and wider."

"The young man is terrifying and has to make progress." Guo Jia smiled.

Sun Ce also smiled. "What should I do now?"

"Planning three palaces and one, rushing them back to Jizhou, pursuing them along the way, and expanding their results."

"This is to let the tiger return to the mountain."

"The trapped beast is still fighting. Instead of fighting for the death to fight for others, it is better to stop when you see the good and wait for it to be in trouble. Yuan Shao is already devastated and is not a problem. At this time, he will fight to the death with all his might, but he will only make it clear to Yuan Tan."

Sun Ce repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, but still accepted Guo Jia's suggestion. "Well, you can handle this matter. Find a way to contact your uncle and confirm Yuan Shao's situation. I think he would not be willing to watch Ju Su make meritorious service." He stood up, opened his arms, and moved his body. "This battle, alas, it's a big loss. Han Yin died in battle. The task of chasing will be handed over to Yan Xing. Han Sui will always give Han Sui an explanation. In addition, you can find a way to exchange Han Yin's head back and give Han Sui a whole body."

Guo Jia was relieved. "Yan Xing was responsible for the cavalry, and Huang Zhong was responsible for the infantry. Huang Zhong had no decent military achievements except for the forced submission of Huang Wan. He could not make a sword in vain and would make a trip in vain."

Sun Ce smiled knowingly and didn't say anything, but felt helpless. Huang Zhong captured Luoyang, but wanted Lu Su to take over. This was a blow to the Jingzhou faction and a response to the sow discord of the court. He was unwilling to force Yuan Shao to fight to the death, and he also had such considerations. Now that there are many factions, intrigues are inevitable. Even if he can trust Zhou Yu, Zhang Hong and others, can he still trust everyone? For any interest group, internal struggle is always inevitable, and time travelers cannot solve this problem. Guo Jia is so anxious to come, probably this is the main purpose.

As a think tank with Legalism, Guo Jia's string must naturally be tighter. If it were just because Han Yin was killed and the war was slightly setback, Guo Jia would not be so nervous. What he was nervous was that Yuan Jun's style suddenly became so tough, and there might be new changes in the situation behind it. If the tactics are not adjusted in time, once the losses are too large and affecting the overall strategy, it may cause immeasurable losses.

"There are people from Xiliang around Luoyang, but it is not possible to have no cavalry. Let Yan Xing lead the cavalry to assist Lu Su in defending Luoyang." Guo Jia made another suggestion.

Sun Ce scratched his head a little. This was an accident. He originally planned to transfer Qin Mu or Mi Fang to Luoyang, but now Han Yin was killed in an accident and wanted to compensate Han Sui, so he could only arrange Yan Xing. Yan Xing's personal ability and quality were fine. However, in this way, he lacked an excellent cavalry general. If it really didn't work, he could only transfer Chen Dao back.

"Ma Chao just told me that after this battle, he wants to go back to Xiliang."

"This is a matter of time sooner or later." Guo Jia was prepared. "Even if he returned to Xiliang, the Ma family would not dare to break off contact. Just find a way to keep Pang De. If it doesn't work, let Ma Teng change to another son."
