Wu Qiuxing politely and firmly rejected Niu Gai and closed the door.

Niu Gai was mentally prepared. While sending someone to repay Dong Yue, he found a hotel to stay in the inn and was preparing to invite him again to show his sincerity. Dong Yue was so smart that he angered Jia Xu. Now that he asked Jia Xu again, he was expected to suffer a little. He politely thanked Wu Qiu Xing, saying that he would come again, and asked him to say a few words in front of Jia Xu, and hinted that Wu Qiu Xing would succeed in persuading Jia Xu, Dong Yue would like to give him a lieutenant.

He believed that even if Jia Xu was calm, the young and energetic Wu Qiuxing could not calm down.

Wu Qiuxing returned to the study room in the backyard. Jia Xu had already returned to the case but had not read. He pointed to the seat opposite and signaled Wu Qiuxing to take his seat. "Tell me what you think about the Junyi war I know now."

Wu Qiuxing was stunned for a moment. Junyi's war had just ended. There was no war record, only a brief passage from Niu Gai. How could he say this? However, when Jia Xu asked, he did not dare to be perfunctory. Dong Yue had already bowed his head. It would be a matter of time before Jia Xu came back. If Jia Xu was disappointed and he would not take him to the front line, his hard work for the past few months would be in vain.

Wu Qiuxing thought about it carefully, and decided to start with Junyi's geography. In the third year of Chuping, Sun Ce fought with Yuan Tan and Junyi. In the sixth year of Chuping, Sun Ce fought with Yuan Shao again. Especially in the sixth year of Chuping, Xu You built a dam to flood Junyi City, but later gave up halfway, but now it was used by Xun Yan. In terms of war, it is actually a lineage. In addition, there were 3,000 people in Luyi City, and Xun Yan had more than 50,000 infantry and cavalry. Even if the cavalry led by Lu Bu and Zhao Yun could not participate in the attack, Xun Yan had more than 40,000 infantry and troops from both sides were also available. The lack of information was the arrangement of troops on both sides.

And this is exactly what Jia Xu wants to test him.

Wu Qiuxing thought carefully and felt a sense of enlightenment. He first analyzed Junyi's terrain, then analyzed the situation between the two sides, and finally said: "Yuan Tan came out of Jizhou, first frustrated by Gaotang, and had to advance to Yanzhou. Although the progress was smooth, it was delayed. Therefore, Xun Yan was eager to conquer Junyi and had to use the old dam left by Xu You before, otherwise he would not have completed it in a short time. Lu Yi should have thought of this, so he tampered with the old dam in advance. When Xun Yan thought the task was completed, he suddenly launched, causing Xun Yan to collapse thousands of miles."

"So, what is Xun Yan's biggest flaw?"

Wu Qiuxing originally wanted to say it was an old dam, but then he changed his words. "It's... anxious."

"What happens if you are anxious?"

"If you are anxious, you will take risks and make mistakes." The more Wu Qiu Xing thought about it, the more it made sense. If Xun Yan had not been anxious, he should have carefully checked the old weir and found that Lu Yi's hands and feet would not have been to the Lu Yi. If it were not anxious, he could have built the weir more solid and thicker than just useful. Completed such a large project in a short time will inevitably force the soldiers. The soldiers are resentful and the time is tight, so the construction will inevitably be slack. The supervisors will also be eager to achieve success. The weir may not be able to be constructed according to Xun Yan's requirements. All kinds of subtle mistakes are combined, and even if Lu Yi does not, the weir will not be considered solid and there is a high possibility of problems.

Of course, the most important thing is mentality. Jia Xu asked him to analyze this case of war and remind him not to be anxious. If he is anxious, he will be in chaos, and if he is anxious, he will make mistakes. The consequences of making mistakes on the battlefield are very serious and it is likely to cost his life. Xun Yan was from Ru Ying and was the elder brother of Xun Yu. He was a general of the Yuan army as early as the Battle of Guandu. In recent years, he has accumulated a lot of military achievements and is already on his own. However, because of his impatience, he was defeated by Lu Yi and lost his life.

Jia Xu nodded with satisfaction. "If the emperor asked, how would you deal with it?"

Wu Qiuxing was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable. Hedong was still in Dong Yue's hands, and the emperor did not directly take charge of the emperor. Do you know that he is a problem? How could he ask for advice from him? Could it be that Jia Xu believed that the emperor would also send envoys to come and planned to recommend him to serve in the office?

Wu Qiuxing suddenly felt his heart beating faster, and a burst of passion surged up. If Jia Xu could recommend it to the emperor and be a man, it would be that he would climb the Longmen, which would be much more promising than being a lieutenant in Dong Yue's army.

Jia Xu looked at Wu Qiuxing quietly. Wu Qiuxing felt a little embarrassed, lowered his head and thought seriously. This is equivalent to a preview. If you can get Jia Xu's recognition, it will be much easier to get the emperor's recognition in the future. Now that you are wrong, Jia Xu can still point him instruct him. If you say something wrong in front of the emperor, there is no room for regret.

"Yuan Tan's mistake is hesitation. If you want to make a profit, you should be decisive and concentrate your troops to siege a city, fight steadily, and never stop until the outcome is decided. If reinforcements come from the enemy, you will break the enemy's reinforcements at the city. If no reinforcements come from the enemy, you will be besieged the city, either attack hard, or wait for the enemy to lose food and collapse..."

Wu Qiuxing was so sensible that he was not Jia Xu sitting in front of him, but the emperor who could make him ascend to heaven in one step. Jia Xu listened quietly, gently shook the folding fan in his hand, nodded from time to time, but did not express his opinions. It was not until Wu Qiuxing finished speaking that he tightened the folding fan and gently knocked on the fate of the case.

"Boqi, can the court defeat the King of Wu?"

Wu Qiuxing, who was still talking nonstop just now, was speechless and didn't say anything for a long time. Jia Xu smiled. "Don't worry, think about it slowly. I heard that there will be a defense when the martial arts lecture hall and county school graduate, so this is your graduation defense."

"Now." Wu Qiuxing bowed respectfully. He understood what Jia Xu meant. No matter what, he would leave Jia Xu. Choosing the court or the King of Wu would determine his life's fate and he would not be careless at all.

——

Guo Jia sighed and put down the information he had just received.

Xun Yan's death was a sad news, which diluted the joy brought by Junyi's victory. In Zhang Hong's misfortune, Xi Zhicai's death was just the beginning, and more Ru Ying elites will die in this battle. Not everyone has the opportunity to choose again like Xin Pi and Zhong Yao.

Sometimes choice is more important than hard work. Among the brothers of Xun Yu, Xun Yu is the most talented. He was named Wang Zuo by He Yong, followed by Xun Yan, but he is familiar with military books and has the ability to command troops. Xun Chen is the weakest. But now it seems that Xun Chen's achievements may be the highest. He made a wise choice, hoping that he can continue to be wise, do his job well, and not make mistakes.

Guo Jia calmed down, picked up the information, got up and went to the side palace to meet Sun Ce. This was an important news. The battle report of Lu Yi had not been delivered yet. Although Man Chong sent the news, he did not mention Xun Yan's life and death. In a big battle, the meaning of life and death of the enemy's chief general was no less than the outcome of the entire battle, which would have an immeasurable impact on the morale of both sides, and thus affect the entire battle situation.

As of now, it seems unlikely that Yuan Tan will continue to attack. The plan to test the achievements of the new policy in Yuzhou may need to be adjusted.

Guo Jia came to the side hall and just stepped onto the steps when he heard Sun Ce's voice.

"What are you thinking? Cao Ang patted his butt and left. It would be fine if his wife and children were thrown away. Is it acceptable for Mrs. Ding to stay and you and your father and son to entrust me. Isn't it too much? Stop talking nonsense to me and search the house! Leave a part for Mrs. Ding to support her, and give the rest to my nephew. If you talk a little longer, I cut off your father and son's heads and sent them to Yizhou to reunite your family."

Guo Jia couldn't help laughing, and stopped and hid under the steps. After a while, a fat middle-aged man walked out of it. While walking, he used a handkerchief to wipe his sweat with his handkerchief, but he couldn't wipe it clean, and his forehead was still greasy. His face turned red and white, and he was a little unsteady when walking. Finally, he walked a little anxiously with his two steps. He stepped on the empty feet and sat on the ground, which made the fat on his face distorted.

Guo Jia looked at it carefully, but he didn't say anything. He knew this person, but in fact, everyone who could speak in front of Sun Ce knew this person. This was Cao Cao's younger brother Cao De. Because Sun Ce wanted to confiscate Cao's property, he came to Jianye to plead with him, but he refused. Cao Ang gave up Yanzhou and took some confidants to Yizhou, but left his family in Yuzhou. This was clearly a bully of Sun Ce and was easy to talk to. Anyone would be angry.

Sun Ce had previously confiscated the property of the Cao family and Xiahou family in Qiao County. Later, due to his relationship with Cao Ang, he returned part of his property to Cao Ang, which was considered under Mrs. Ding. Cao Ang was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou. Cao Song, who fled to Xuzhou, also went to Yanzhou and brought a lot of property. In recent years, he had done business in Yanzhou and accumulated a lot of property. This time, Cao Ang went to Yizhou and took some away, but there were still a lot left. He was all taken back by Cao Song to his hometown in Qiao County.

It has to be said that Cao Song's ability to make money is much better than that of being an official, and his distrust of his eldest son Cao Cao is also shocking. When Cao Cao raised an army to challenge Dong, Cao Song refused to give money. Now Cao Cao already has Yizhou, but Cao Song still refused to fund it, only providing Cao Ang with expenses on the way.

Now, all these property have been raided by Sun Ce. The newly appointed Pei Xiang Zaozhi hated the eunuchs and had no good impression of the Cao family. He was very ruthless and only left a yard for Cao Song and his son, two hundred acres of land, and all the others were confiscated. Cao Song had no choice but to send Cao De to Jianye to find a way, but who would be willing to care about his business? It would be a waste of time to make Sun Ce unhappy?

To be fair, Sun Ce was already kind enough to not cut off Cao Song and his son's heads.

Cao De sat on the ground and saw Guo Jia at first sight. He stood up regardless of the pain in his butt, limped over, and grabbed Guo Jia's sleeve. "Guo Jijiu, Guo Jijiu, you should pity my father and son. Dozens of people live in the same yard and don't even have a place to sleep. Besides, how can we father and son farm? Then..."

"Stop!" Guo Jia raised the military newspaper in his hand and broke free from Cao De's hand. "Are you willing to go to Yizhou?"

Cao De blinked and thought for a while. "Will...I do."

"Okay, I will suggest that the king seize your father and son, pass on a letter to your brother Cao Cao, and let him take the money to redeem people."

"Well……"

Cao De was still hesitating, and Sun Ce's voice came from his head. He raised his head with difficulty and saw Sun Ce standing at the door of the hall, saying loudly: "I'm a good plan to sacrifice wine, just do it like this. I'll send a letter to Pei Xiang Zaozhi and send Cao Song and his son to Jianye."

Cao De's legs became weak and he sat on the ground again. Oil sweat as big as beans gathered into a stream and rolled down his forehead.
