The process of deduction by Guo Jia et al. is very long, but the results obtained are not complicated. Judging from the current situation, if Yuan Shao raises his troops to the south, he will inevitably face several large rivers running east and west and several strongholds deployed along the river, of which there are three most important: Rencheng in the east, Junyi in the west, and Suiyang in the middle.

Sun Ce originally hoped to capture Shanyang and advance the first line of defense into Yanzhou, but later he was overwhelmed and only took Rencheng, which was regarded as the first nail laid in Yanzhou. Rencheng and Peixian and Pengcheng are each more than 100 miles apart, forming an eastern defense line, and with the ability and strength of Tai Shi Ci and Xu Qi, supplemented by Zang Ba, Ji Ling and others, they should be able to block Yuan Shao's offensive, and at least drag on the war until next spring.

Unable to obtain Dingtao as he wished, Sun Ce could only use Suiyang as the first line of defense in the central part of the country, with Chen County and Qian County as support points. Lu Fan guarded Suiyang, had the experience of being besieged by Yuan Tan, and this time he participated in the Battle of Shanyang, so it should not be a big problem to hold Suiyang. Even if the situation is dangerous, it is very convenient for Sun Ce to lead the main force and reinforce from Pingyu, at least to keep the territory of Runan from major influences.

The most difficult is the western line. Zhang Chao is not a general, he can't hold Chen Liu, there is Huang Wan reinforcements in Luoyang, Yuan Shao crossed the river from Puyang, took the white horse, and went straight to Chen Liu. Once Chen Liu fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, Yingchuan, Chen Guo, and Liang Guo would all be threatened. Out of consideration for strengthening the western defense line, Sun Ce applied both soft and hard measures and asked to be stationed in Junyi. With Junyi as the apex and Yingyin and Chenxian as the support, the western defense line can be established.

Junyi was on the west side of Chen Liu, which could not only cover Chen Liu, but also not involve Chen Liujun too deeply, Zhang Miao agreed after weighing the pros and cons.

Sun Ce was most worried about Junyi. Unlike Ren Cheng and Suiyang, Junyi is at the front, with no cover on both sides, and may face Yuan Shao and Huang Wan's attack. Once surrounded, Junyi could become an isolated city, holding out on its own for months or even a year. What made Sun Ce even more uneasy was that this was actually the place where the Battle of Guandu took place, and Guandu was not far west of Junyi City.

Cao Cao narrowly defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu, laying the foundation for the three-point world. Can Sun Jian have such luck? Sun Ce didn't dare to say. Sun Jian may have been brave, but his civil and military qualities were far inferior to Cao Cao's. Originally, he planned to guard Junyi himself, but Guo Jia vetoed it. Guo Jia said that when the two fight, no one will stick their heads in front of each other, if you guard Junyi, Yuan Shao will capture Junyi and kill you even if he fights for the last breath. On the contrary, if you arrange for others to guard Junyi, Yuan Shao may not be interested in Junyi, but may form a situation of dividing the army.

Guo Jia suggested that Sun stick to Junyi. There are two reasons: one is that Sun Jian has strong combat effectiveness, and Junyi City is suitable for defense, as long as the preparation is sufficient and the deployment is appropriate, it is not difficult to hold Junyi; First, Sun Jian has a certain importance, and it is impossible for Yuan Shao to ignore him, but he does not attach importance to treating him on an equal footing with himself, so it is not very likely that he will go out in person, and it is more likely to arrange a general. If this is the case, it can not only play the role of dividing Yuan Shao's troops, but also not let Junyi put too much pressure, which is the most beneficial to the entire battle situation.

Taking a step back, even if Yuan Shao put all his bets on the western front and attacked Junyi with all his might, then Sun would stick to it and consume Yuan Shao's strength to a certain extent, and Sun Ce would attack it again, and the certainty of defeating Yuan Shao would be greater than Sun Ce's direct defense of the city.

Guo Jia's plan is not perfect, but it is the most secure one among many plans, and has been recognized by the vast majority of military schemes. After Sun Ce's comprehensive evaluation, he also felt that even if there were discrepancies in this plan, there would not be much of a problem. If you take 10,000 steps back, even if Sun can't hold Junyi, he will have a chance to break through the siege, and he will not be defeated, and the possibility of death is even more minimal.

Today's Sun Jian is no longer the brave and ruthless Sun Jian, he has been frustrated several times in a row, and he has become middle-aged, he has calmed down a lot.

Sun Ce told Sun Jian in detail about the entire plan. This matter could have been conveyed by Qin Song, but Sun Ce was worried that Qin Song might not express it clearly without scruples when facing Sun Jian, so he finally decided to explain it himself to ensure that Sun Jian could understand the key and would not make major mistakes due to differences in understanding.

After listening to Sun Ce's explanation, Sun Jian nodded again and again. He only made one suggestion: he wanted to bring Mrs. Wu and Sun Shanghua to Junyi, and some of the generals' family members should also be brought with him, so as to show that he would guard Junyi's heart. If possible, it is better to allocate him some more officials and slaves. Officials, slaves and maids undertake some service work in the camp, including but not limited to accompanying the generals to the banquet, which can play a role in releasing pressure and stabilizing the morale of the army.

Sun Ce thought about it and agreed. There is Yingchuan Tuntian, he has prepared enough food for Sun Jian for a year, and it should not fall to the point of cannibalism.

——

Xiapi, Xuyi.

Xun Chen looked at Liu He, who had a gloomy face, and closed his mouth.

He had already said everything that should be said, but Liu He insisted on making peace and refused to seek peace. Speaking of which, he just couldn't swallow this breath and refused to bow his head to Sun Ce. People are fighting for a breath, Xun Chen can understand, but he doesn't support it. It's just that he is a strategist and can advise, but he can't make decisions for Liu He.

"Youruo, you must have been deceived by Guo Jia." Seeing that Xun Chen was in a bad mood, Liu Heqiang smiled and said: "The weapon of the country, how can it be shown, if Sun Ce really has such an ordnance, it must be hidden and not let you see it, how can there be a reason to let you see it." A gentleman can be deceived, you must have been deceived by him. ”

Xun Chen laughed twice and didn't say anything more. At this point, there is no point in saying more. He got up to say goodbye and came to the vestibule, Lu Dai greeted him, and was just about to speak, Xun Chen glanced at him, shook his head, and walked out. As he entered, a bearded knight hurried in. He walked in a hurry, and when he passed by Xun Chen's side, he almost knocked Xun Chen down. Xun Chen frowned and sighed.

"These beards, it's really rude."

Lu Dai held Xun Chen, glanced at the knight, and said softly: "Brother Youruo, this knight looks like he just arrived. ”

Xun Chen was stunned for a moment, glanced back, and then took two steps out of the door. Outside the gate stood a horse, covered in sweat, with fur sticking to its body, its limbs trembling, and the corners of its mouth full of white foam. Xun Chen frowned, and then pulled Lu Dai aside.

"Dinggong, Liu Gongheng refuses to ask General Sun for peace, and he has no intention of reusing you, there is no point in you staying here, it is better to choose another high branch."

Lu Dai glanced at Xun Chen, nodded, and bowed. "Thank you, brother." As he spoke, he bowed deeply, took two steps back, gave another salute, turned around and hurried away.

Xun Chen looked at Lu Dai's back and sighed lightly, with mixed feelings. He staggered and paced back and forth two steps. A clerk rushed out of the door, looked around, and saw that Xun Chen was still in front of the door, he was overjoyed, and shouted while running over: "Xun Changshi, Xun Changshi, the general is invited." ”

Xun Chen had already prepared, but he was not in a hurry at the moment, tidied up his clothes, and walked into the door. As soon as I entered the vestibule, I saw the officials waiting to be met looking at each other, and then I heard heart-rending cries in the atrium. He was stunned for a moment, did not dare to slack off, and rushed into the atrium in three steps and two steps. I saw Liu He kneeling in the courtyard, facing the north, kowtowing and crying.

"If you don't take revenge, you swear not to be a man."
