Jia Xu made three plans and suggested that the emperor retreat, but his disciple Wu Qiuxing did the opposite and suggested that the emperor take the initiative to attack. The news has been spread to Jianye from different channels, and the authenticity can basically be confirmed, but what the emperor was thinking in his heart is still unknown.

Joining Yuan Tan and Liu Bei to gather elite cavalry from You and Liang to fight in Jizhou is one of the possible solutions that the Military Advisory Office deduced and is consistent with the current actions of the emperor. However, Sun Ce did not intend to attack Jizhou immediately. Yanzhou is the meat on his lips, and there is no reason not to eat it. The emperor and Yuan Tan and Liu Bei are happy, in his opinion, just play house and entertain themselves. A gentleman has the beauty of adulthood. Just let them play and be happy. I will follow my plan.

The main force of attacking Yanzhou with the troops of Yuzhou County and pushing the front line to the Yellow River can not only minimize consumption, but also train an elite soldier. The next attack on Jizhou will have sufficient troops. For the people of Jizhou, this kind of feeling of waiting for death is absolutely not good. The longer the emperor stays in Jizhou, the easier the conflicts within Jizhou will intensify and the faster the collapse will collapse. As expected, as soon as the emperor arrived in Hejian, Yuan Tan gave up Hejian, Zhongshan, abandoned northern Hebei, and replaced him with a nameless King of Wei.

It cannot be said that there is no meaning at all, at least it is one step closer to Yuan Shao's last wish. I just don't know how many days he, the King of Wei, can do it.

"When will the king start?"

"I'll wait a little longer and let Zhu Huan go first." Sun Ce laughed and said, "Zhong Yao is in Xiangyang, so there should be no problem?"

Guo Jia also smiled. "Don't worry, king, he gets along well with the second general. After receiving the news, they have already started preparing." He paused, glanced at Sun Shangxiang who was lying beside Sun Ce, and said, "It's a pity that the third general is still young, otherwise it would be nice to let the third general go to Yuzhou. The king can sit in Jianye and admire the world."

"Yes, yes." Sun Shangxiang agreed with a serious expression. "You won't wait for a few years to fight."

Sun Cequ flicked her forehead with a finger. "What's the rush? The world is so big that it's beyond your imagination, and it's enough for you to fight for the rest of your life." He blinked. "Have you ever thought about who to choose as a military advisor, general?"

Sun Shangxiang touched his forehead and laughed: "There is no need for a military advisor. A Jie is pretty good. As a general, I also want to see that expeditions are not as good as nearby combat. Of course, you have to choose the strongest one. One is not enough to be ten, but one is as a hundred."

"Do you think I can do it? It may be a bit of a force to be a hundred, but it is still okay to be twenty or thirty."

Sun Shangxiang laughed and hugged Sun Ce's neck and shook his body. "Brother Wang, don't be happy with me. How dare I command you? You sit in the back and steer me in the formation so that I have no worries, and I will be satisfied."

"Well, I'm going to be a lieutenant for you, and I don't even have the qualifications to go to battle."

Sun Shangxiang's face turned red with a smile, and she stuck out her tongue. "No, you are the head of state, I am the minion. I will hit wherever you say you want."

"My brothers and sisters are eight, this youngest sister is the most cunning." Sun Ce smiled and said, "Sacrificial wine, you have made a lot of contributions."

Guo Jia is rare modesty. "The three generals have good qualifications, and the king is good at teaching by example. I just do my best. The three generals, for the sake of my husband, should I bring my Ayi with me?"

"If he dares to come, of course I welcome it."

"Hahaha..." Sun Ce laughed and pointed at Guo Jia and said, "The strong mother gave birth to a weak son. Go back and tell your tiger that she would change her temper quickly. It's still too late. In a few years, it's too late to change."

Guo Jia smiled and bowed. "The king must be fine. I will go back and tell his wife immediately."

Sun Ce and Guo Jia joked for a while and asked Sun Shangxiang and Xu Jie about the current situation. The Yulin Guards have the responsibility to guard the palace. They live around the world all year round, and they will attend major meetings of the Military Advisory Office. You can ask questions at any time if you have any questions. Sun Ce, Guo Jia and even Zhang Hong and Yu Fan will answer with all their hearts whenever they have time. Speaking of which, among the Sun brothers and sisters, Sun Shangxiang received the most complete education. It was arranged by Sun Ce since he was five or six years old and received systematic training, and got to this day step by step. Her progress is obvious to all. When analyzing current affairs, it is accurate and far beyond his peers. Even the military advisory office may not be able to join the military.

As he was speaking, the attendant Hu Zong walked in and reported that the naval commander Gan Ning had a military officer who had reported it to him. He was copying and filing the records at the Military Administrative Office and would be delivered soon. Sun Ce sat up and looked at Guo Jia. Guo Jia understood, stood up and said goodbye, rushed back to the Military Administrative Office to find out the situation.

Gan Ning had news before that he had discussed with Taishi Ci and others and decided to fight a large-scale guerrilla warfare and restrain Jizhou and Youzhou. According to time, he should have arrived in Youzhou now. Whether he could shock the mountains and attract the attention of Yuan Tan and Liu Bei was very important for the next battle. Although his war in northern Hebei was good, it was not very meaningful. The navy went deep into the alone army and was only an accident. Once he was prepared, it would be difficult to use the same trick again. In contrast, the attack on Youzhou was much more feasible.

The Military Administrative Office quickly completed the relevant procedures and submitted Gan Ning's army to Sun Ce.

After learning about the battle between Gan Ning and Guan Yu, Sun Ce was very satisfied and even breathed a sigh of relief. Gan Ning stopped when he saw it was good and did not take the risk to attack Guan Yu's camp, which showed that although Gan Ning was brave and easy to kill, he was not a reckless person. He knew when to advance and when to retreat. For the navy commander who was the only one, this was more rare than bravery.

Bu Zhi also played his due role. His response to Gan Ning's deployment was not only appreciated by Gan Ning, but also surprised Sun Ce. Although there was inevitably a calculating element, there was still a view of the overall situation. With him as the deputy general, Sun Ce could feel at ease with Gan Ning.

Another thing that surprised Sun Ce was: Guan Yu was able to calm down and did not send troops to chase Gan Ning. It seemed that his mind had become much calmer in the past two years. After the Chinese New Year, he was no longer the angry young man who was full of passion and ignored him.

The Military Advisory Office quickly made a plan: considering that Man Chong and others were about to launch an attack on Yanzhou, it would be best for Ganning to enter the Yellow River, cooperate with Xu Sheng, cut off the liaison between Yanzhou and Jizhou, form an encirclement of Yanzhou, and put pressure on Jizhou, so that Yuan Tan could not feel at ease in the autumn harvest. If the opportunity is right, he would harass him along the river, destroy some of the crops and destroy the economy of Jizhou.

Among the navy in Ganning, there were tower ships equipped with giant stone throwers and powerful crossbows. The attack power was still very strong, and ordinary manors could not stop him at all.

The Military Administration also proposed a plan to mobilize the Black Mountain Army to go down the mountain. Yuan Tan concentrated his troops in the east and the west was empty. From Hanoi to Changshan and Zhongshan, they were all targets that the Black Mountain Army could attack. Even if they were harvesting some crops, they would be good. What would they do if they could hide in the mountains?

Afterwards, Sun Ce called Zhu Huan and sent him to lead the five schools with a total of 10,000 central troops to Yuzhou. After meeting with Yan Xing, Chen Dao and others, he was in the middle to dispatch the offensive against Yanzhou. As his deputy general, Lu Gong also served as military strategist.

Zhu Huan was overjoyed and bowed to accept the order.

Sun Ce looked at Zhu Huan for a long time. "You go back and prepare a strategy, accept inquiries from the Military Advisory Department, and pass as much as possible."

Zhu Huan's eyes flashed slightly and agreed. He knew that Sun Ce had not allowed him to win a single film for so long. It was not that he doubted his loyalty and ability, but that he was not very at ease with his temper and was worried that he was not steady enough and could not take on such a heavy responsibility, so he had been refrigerated for several years. Now that the opportunity has come, he naturally cannot let it go. Not only did he have to pass the military advisory department's inquiry at one time, but he also had to get a good result and not disappoint Sun Ce.

Seeing Zhu Huan leaving with great courage, Sun Ce twisted his fingers and let out a sigh of relief, feeling helpless.

Sending troops in midsummer is a great difficulty for any general, and it is much more troublesome than sending troops in autumn.

The weather is hot and the rain is heavy. On sunny days, the iron armor is hot and sweaty. When it rains, it is raining everywhere, and it is difficult to march. If the prevention is not properly done and the environment is not suitable, the epidemic will be caused, and the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

Sun Ce gave this task to Zhu Huan, which was a test for him. He not only had to consider how to fight, but also had to consider preventing various accidents. The marching route should be as short as possible, avoiding swamps, suitable for large troops to station, and the transportation of materials should be convenient, and unnecessary news should be reduced, especially for drugs, all kinds of medicines should be prepared to prevent accidents. It would be too late to find medicine when something happened.

Leading ten thousand people to fight is almost a yardstick to test whether a general can stand on his own. Among the nine governors, only Zhou Yu, Taishi Ci, Huang Zhong and Shen You can command more than ten thousand people, and at most Lu Su, who had just made contributions in Hongnong. In fact, when Lu Su took Hongnong, he directly commanded no more than ten thousand troops, and veterans such as Lu Meng, Jiang Qin and Xu Sheng were assisting him in the battle.

Cultivating generals cannot help grow. They must follow the steps and start step by step.

By this standard, Sun Ce was not fully sure whether Zhu Huan could be competent. Choosing Zhu Huan was a result of weighing multiple factors, and it was actually a bit risky. The Jiangdong clan was his foundation, and he had to give them more opportunities to ensure their support for him, especially when the Jiangdong clan was ready to move and planned to test the law with his own body. Attacking Yanzhou and using the Yanzhou clan to attack the Yanzhou clan to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. I hope that the Jiangdong clan’s powerful clans would understand the current affairs. If it was a last resort, it would inevitably kill a few people to show shock.

Before this, he wanted to ensure that most Jiangdong families trust and obey him, and promoting Zhu Huan was an important step. At present, there was no Zhu, Zhang, Gu Lu's saying that Gu and Lu had a deep foundation and could not play much demonstration role, but Zhu and Zhang were not that strong, and even worse than Shen's. Zhang Yun's accidental death made his plan to support the Zhang family fail, and Zhu Huan became a few choices.
