Yingyin, Gaoyangli.

Xun Yue waved his sleeves and walked back and forth in the hall, shouting loudly, his voice and expression were stern, and his saliva flew everywhere. Zhong Changtong curled his lips, tilted his head, and looked at him disdainfully. Whenever Xun Yue paused, the corners of his mouth would move, and he couldn't wait to refute Xun Yue's argument.

Sun Ce sat in his knees, watching Zhong Changtong and Xun Yue debate, and turned back from time to time to say whisper to Zhuge Liang, Lu Yi muttered a few words. Yingyin Ling Gao Shen sat aside with a respectful expression, but he couldn't hide his complacentness between his eyebrows and eyes. Looking closely, he was also a little gloating.

The wheat harvest is about to end in the past two days, and no war has happened ahead. Sun Ce took a break from his busy schedule to visit Xun Yue. Xun Yue was the seed of the Xun family's study. Later, he was a companion to Emperor Xian of Han and wrote a "Han Ji", which is considered to be the representative of the Xun family's royal family. However, Sun Ce took the initiative to visit Xun Yue because of Xun Yue's other identity: Xun Yue was one of the representatives of political scholars at the end of the Han Dynasty. His academic studies were not only Confucian classics, but also reflection on social reality, representing the rational component of Confucian scholars.

Zhong Changtong is also one of them.

Xun Yue is nearly fifty years old. He has been studying since childhood. It has been more than 30 years since now. In addition to the origin of the Xun family in Yingchuan, he can be regarded as a famous scholar. Zhong Changtong is still young, only sixteen years old, but when facing Xun Yue, he is not afraid, has reason and refutes one by one.

Sun Ce could understand it at first, but later the two of them became more and more complicated, and they quoted classics, especially the annotations of each school. He was confused. He had read some "Zuo Zhuan", but he was limited to understanding historical events and main views. He could not understand the nuances between the annotations of each school and was confused. Lu Yi listened with relish, and his family had a lot of knowledge and had not been idle for years. He often went to Pingyu to ask Zhang Zhao, Cheng Bing and others for advice, without any obstacles. Zhuge Liang could understand it, but he seemed to have no interest.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves and footsteps outside, Zhuge Liang stood up and walked out. After a while, he came over with a military newspaper and attached it to Sun Ce's ear and said, "General, news about General Lu."

Sun Ce did not dare to be negligent and nodded to Xun Yue. Xun Yuezheng was excited and didn't care. He waved his hand to signal Sun Ce to take his own wish. Sun Ce got up and said goodbye, and quickly walked out of the atrium. Guo Wu and Liu Hu were sitting in the front yard, chatting in a mess. When they saw Sun Ce coming out, they quickly stood up. Sun Ce sat on the railing, opened the military newspaper and browsed.

Huang Wan, who was originally confronting Huang Zhong in Luyang, was leading the main force to Yingyang, and Xun Yan also gave up Linying. The three armies might meet in Yingyang, with a total force of about 60,000. However, Lu Su did not ask for help, he just reported the other party's movements.

Sun Ce did not dare to neglect. Yingyang was a county town after all, and the city walls were not tall and solid enough, and the city defense facilities were not complete enough. Kuo Yi and Huang Wan did not even need big city siege equipment, and could forcibly climb the city with only the most primitive ant tactics. With a ten-fold advantage in military strength, even if Lu Su could block it, he would have to pay a heavy price. Not to mention, the density of the arrow formations between the two sides during the siege was completely different, and the absolute advantage in quantity was enough to make up for the relative quality disadvantage.

"Go back to the camp."

——

Guo Jia turned around the sand table model, and several military figures scattered aside and whispered softly. Seeing Sun Ce walking in quickly, they closed their mouths and straightened their chests.

"Fengxiao, what news is there?"

"There is not much news, and it is not timely." Guo Jia shook his head and smacked his lips, a little depressed. Because the number of cavalry on both sides was very different, the casualty rate of scouts remained high, which greatly affected the integrity of the news. They received sporadic news, with many blank spaces, so they could only guess, and the lag was also very serious. Although it was easy to say that the news west of Yingshui would be delayed by at least one day. The reason for not receiving the news that Huang Wan moved to the army was not promptly.

"Will Lu Su be surrounded?"

"It is inevitable to be surrounded. The key is how many days he can hold on to it and whether he will be encircled or annihilated." Guo Jia rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little distressed. "Tu Yi is trying to force the general to reinforce and fight the general to a decisive battle."

Sun Ce also thought so. The disparity in troops and insufficient cavalry was obvious. He wanted to defend and attack, and at the cost of abandoning the Yingshui west, to block Tuo Yi and Xun Yan, to buy time for farming and harvesting wheat, and to burn the ripe wheat if necessary. This was his idea, but Tuo Yi and Xun Yan would not follow his hopes. Once they found that it was unrealistic to divide the troops and attack the city, they simply concentrated their forces, broke through the middle and forced him to fight to the decisive battle.

The advantage lies with the opponent, and the initiative lies with the opponent. This is reality.

Of course, he didn't have the power to fight back, so he could only lie down and let others trample. In terms of quantity, he did not have any advantages, but in terms of quality, he had enough advantages. The opponent could only fight one, but he could fight four or five, Lu Su and Dong Xi were both ruthless people who could fight against Qu Yi, not to mention that there was a legitimate Huang Zhong behind Qu Yi.

Unfortunately, the news is not smooth now, and I don’t know where Huang Zhong is now. However, based on his understanding of Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong will never let him go as long as he has the chance. There are a few who are not masters who can kill the heads of the opponent’s general in the chaotic battlefield.

Sun Ce's heart moved, walked to the sand table, held it in front of his chest with one hand, and stroked the short beard on his chin with the other. He hasn't been too busy these days, and he hasn't even had time to repair his face, and his beard is a little longer.

"Show out the possible situation between the two sides."

"Here." A military plan responded and placed the corpses representing each unit in their positions. In this way, the situation between the two sides was very intuitive. In the middle was Lu Su, who was stationed in Yingyang, surrounded by Tuo Yi, Huang Wan, and Xun Yan. Further out, Sun Ce himself was in the east, Dong Zhi was in the south, Quan Rou was in the north, and Huang Zhong was in the west, surrounded Tuo Yi and the other three from all sides.

"This is the momentum of catching turtles in the trunk." Sun Ce smiled and said, "It's too urgent to get some supplements before autumn comes."

The military planners couldn't help laughing and laughed loudly. The originally somewhat depressing atmosphere became relaxed. Judging from the situation, if the gap between the troops between the two sides was not considered, this was indeed a more favorable situation for their own side.

Chen Qun coughed and said slowly: "Yes, such a big turtle, if you can catch it, it will be enough to replenish it. Just be careful. If you bite it, you will lose a piece of meat." He pointed to Lu Su's troops surrounded by the center. "The first thing you have to throw is the piece of meat that acts as bait."

Guo Jia smiled and said in a slow tone: "Long article, you read it wrong. This is not a piece of meat, it is a bone, and it is a hard bone. If Kuo Yi wants to bite this bone, it depends on whether his teeth are good enough."

Chen Qun snorted, disagreed.

Guo Jia ignored him and walked back and forth for two steps, tapping his fingers gently on the sand table, his eyes turned around, and he thought for a while, and suddenly said, "General, spring fields, summer seedlings, autumn search and winter hunting, we should not distinguish so clearly. Let's just go together in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and have a group fight. As for the end, spring, summer, autumn and winter, or the autumn wind is irritating, it depends on their luck."

Sun Ce understood and nodded repeatedly. "Interesting, I think it's good. What do you think?"

The military planners also suddenly realized and nodded in agreement.

"I think it's OK."

"This is a good method."

"Yes, this is very relevant."

Chen Qun was puzzled and looked at Sun Ce and Guo Jia. Seeing that everyone present seemed to understand, he was the only one who didn't understand, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
