Just as Qin Song racked his brains to appease Sun Jian, Guo Jia also had a fierce argument with Sun Ce.

Before Liu He and others entered Runan, Sun Ce received the news. Guo Jia arranged a detailed work in Jizhou. As soon as the Wuhuan cavalry appeared, they realized that the situation was wrong and immediately notified their companions in Yanzhou to pay attention and strengthen surveillance. The Wuhuan cavalry crossed the Yellow River, entered Dongjun, and moved forward along the official road. The detailed work in Yanzhou sent the news to Chaisang. However, at that time they did not expect that these cavalry would go deep into Runan, which Guo Jia himself inferred.

After listening to Guo Jia's inference, Sun Ce knew that his trouble was coming.

Guo Jia said at the beginning that Yuzhou has no land available, Sui River, Huai River is not the Yangtze River, and its role is limited. The Yellow River will be frozen in winter, and sometimes it will cut off its currents, and it cannot stop the enemies from the north. The biggest problem is that Runan is the base camp of the party members, and most of them support Yuan Shao. For Sun Ce, these Runan families are difficult to fight for. If they kill, they will change immediately. If they don’t kill, they will change sooner or later.

As Guo Jia expected, he was unhappy at all. Therefore, Guo Jia's suggestions were also very clear. Keep important towns such as Suiyang and Pingyu, and let these Hu cavalry make trouble. The more violent the trouble, the longer the trouble, the more unfavorable it is for Yuan Shao. First, the appearance of the Wuhuan Hu cavalry is different from that of the Central Plains. Even if they wear Han military uniforms, it is difficult to hide it. Using Hu people to kill the people of this county is definitely not a wise choice for Yuan Shao; second, it is not easy to support cavalry, and the Runan family will be overwhelmed sooner or later; third, Sun Ce does not have any good means to face these cavalry, and can only use static control.

Yuzhou was originally a strategic buffer zone, which was decided by Yuzhou. Now Sun Ce’s development momentum was rapid, forcing Yuan Shao to rush south before he took Youzhou. He could not do his best and could only send some cavalry to harass him. This was much better than the imagined situation. Taking advantage of this opportunity to allow the people of Yuzhou to migrate to the Jiangnan military farm and strengthen the strength of the Wuhui, it would be more beneficial to Sun Ce than to kill two birds with one stone.

Sun Ce admitted that Guo Jia's suggestions were very practical, but he was very worried about his father Sun Jian. Sun Jian is a brave and fierce character. He had been holding back before, but suddenly he suffered such a big loss. No one can guarantee whether he could bear it. Even with Hongzi and Qin Song by his side, Sun Ce was not at ease. No matter how reasonable the analysis made, if he didn't listen, what would you do?

Just like his current situation, Guo Jia's suggestions are very reasonable, but his surname is not Sun. He might also hope that Sun Jian will die soon so that he can inherit the family business and monopolize the power, and have another name for revenge.

Sun Ce could not be so cold-blooded, so he wanted to give up Yuzhang for the time being and rush to Runan for aid.

Guo Jia strongly opposed it. Yuan Shao's purpose of sending cavalry to harass Runan was definitely not to capture Runan, but to force Sun Ce to return to help Runan to relieve Liu Yao's pressure. Sun Ce did this to the point where Yuan Shao wanted. When he arrived in Runan, the cavalry might retreat. Even if he didn't withdraw, Sun Ce's cavalry would be limited and he could not catch up. He was exhausted and might be attacked by the cavalry if he was not careful, and then Yuan Shao would make a lot of money.

"Then I'm just watching this?" Sun Ce was also anxious. "My family is all in Pingyu."

"General, cavalry cannot attack the city, and Pingyu is safe." Guo Jia advised with great thought: "The way to use troops is to help others but not to others. This is obviously Yuan Shao's plan to surround Wei and save Zhao. How can you be deceived? Taking Yuzhang, Gongjin can take Jingnan with peace of mind, and you can calmly recover Runan. If Yuzhang is not allowed, you can't do your best. The gains and losses are very clear."
