Sun Ce was suspicious and subconsciously glanced at Yuan Quan. Yuan Quan was also staring at Sun Ce, also confused. Seeing this, Guo Jia suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "General, let's get ready, let's go, the military planners are still waiting." ”

Sun Ce remembered the matter, hurriedly nodded in agreement, said to Yuan Quan, and followed Guo Jia out of the cabin. Yuan Quan hesitated for a moment, chased to the door, and shouted: "General, do you want to prepare supper?" ”

Sun Ce was surprised. There is urgent military affairs, and the nearby military advisers have been summoned, this meeting will definitely not be short, and preparing for supper is not a matter of explanation, in the past, Yuan Quan didn't need to ask at all, he went directly to prepare, how could he do this more today. He didn't have the heart to think about it, and said casually: "Naturally, there are many people today, so prepare more." ”

"Got it." Yuan Quan covered the hatch, frowned with joy, clasped his hands in front of his chest, turned back and forth twice, couldn't help but be excited in his heart, and whispered: "It's really wonderful." ”

"Sister, what did you say?" Ellan on the couch lifted the curtain and lay lazily on the couch.

Yuan Quan walked to the couch and sat down, pinching Ellan's nose. "How is it different from usual when you listen to your husband's voice?"

"Nope." Ellan was at a loss. "That's it...... Ringing a little? ”

"Hehe, you......" Yuan Quan gathered his legs and hugged them to his chest, his chin rested on his knees, and his eyes were shining. In fact, I didn't pay attention to it at first, but Guo Saijiu saw it and saw through it at a glance. Sister, didn't you pay attention, my husband's voice has revealed the quality of gold and jade. ”

Ellan thought for a moment, but was also surprised, stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and her eyes widened. "Sister, you mean...... Psychic? ”

Yuan Quan couldn't hide his smile. "I don't know, but I guess. Sister, tell me, how did you do it? They go to discuss the great things of the world, and we discuss the great things in the boudoir. If the husband can really attain the Tao, maybe we can also ascend to heaven. ”

Ellan squirmed. "Sister, you're not...... Have you seen them all? ”

"No, it's not a joke, I just saw it, but I don't know why, I have to ask you." Yuan Quan dragged Elan up, hugged her in his arms, and urged her to speak quickly. Ellan was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't stand the temptation of Yuan's authority, and thought about the wonderful prospect of becoming an immortal, so she endured her shame and recalled it bit by bit.

Sun Ce came to the main cabin, more than 30 military advisers had all arrived, and they were passing on the news they had just received, discussing together in groups of three or five, and when they saw Sun Ce and Guo Jia walking in side by side, they immediately closed their mouths and got up to salute.

Sun Ce returned the salute, sat down on the chairman, and glanced at Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng got up and read the news aloud. The message is not long, only more than 200 words, but it is concise and not simple, and the rich content in it makes no one here dare to take it lightly.

It is now late June, and there is still more than a month before the autumn harvest, and whether there will be a war after the autumn is now a matter of great concern to everyone. Some affairs have begun to be prepared, and the soldiers and military advisers on leave have returned to the camp one after another, and when they suddenly heard such news, they felt that a big war was approaching and a storm was coming.

Youzhou is nearly a thousand miles away, and Lu Zhu will send the news to Qingzhou first, and then send it to Pingyu with a fast horse, even if the road is smooth, it will take at least fifteen days. Fifteen days ago, Gongsun Zhan and Liu Yu went to war, and with the time for both sides to prepare, plus the delay in sending letters to the various ministries for help, this battle is likely to be imminent, and maybe the two sides have already started a war.

Although there are thousands of miles away, Youzhou and Bingzhou are the two fulcrums in Sun Ce's overall situation, which play a role in containing Yuan Shao. Whether these two points can play a role, and how much of a role they can play, largely determines whether Sun Ce can win time for stable development. It was precisely because of the importance that Sun Ce specially invited Lu Zhu to come out. The Elk family had business dealings in Youzhou, and he was more familiar with the situation there than Jiang Gan.

But to be honest, Gongsun Zhan's hand was still a big surprise to Sun Ce, and it was not in his plan at all. He hoped that Gongsun Chan would be able to make peace with Liu Yu, stabilize the rear, and concentrate his forces to harass Yuan Shao, instead of fighting with Liu Yu to reduce Yuan Shao's burden.

This is simply self-defeating. Lu Zhu was probably also stunned, so he activated the emergency channel, at any cost, in order to send the news back as soon as possible. The timely delivery of information comes at a cost. Qingzhou and Xuzhou are now in a mess, the post system is paralyzed, Sun Ce can only arrange people to wait at the post station with horses, as soon as there is an urgent message, it will be transmitted at different speeds according to the different levels of urgency, like this kind of news is running at full speed at all speeds, and a message comes back, which may have to kill a few or even a dozen horses. The value of the horse is one thing, it is the problem that it cannot be replenished in a short period of time, and if there is the same news again, it cannot be delivered quickly.

In other words, this way of delivering is unsustainable and disposable.

The whip is beyond the reach of the whip. Looking at the military planners who were talking in a low voice, Sun Ce sighed with emotion. If he waited a few more years and had the ability to place Tai Shici in Youzhou, he would not be so passive, watching an accident in Youzhou but unable to do anything.

Guo Jia waited for a moment and coughed lightly. The military strategists immediately quieted down and looked at Guo Jia in unison.

"Manpower is sometimes poor, Youzhou is thousands of miles away, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu are not generals' subordinates, and it is inevitable to make unexpected moves. What we care about is not their life and death, but the impact of the change in the situation in Youzhou on Yuan Shao, and then on us. No matter how the situation in Youzhou changes, the result is nothing more than two: or, drag Yuan Shao; Or, be controlled by Yuan Shao and help Yuan Shao go south. There is a cloud in the art of war: you can't win against me, but you can win against the enemy. The information we have collected now is incomplete and we can't make an accurate judgment, so let's make the worst plan and deduce that Gongsun Chan was defeated by Yuan Shao and Youzhou fell into Yuan Shao's hands. Thanks, all holidays will be canceled from now on, so the people are divided into three groups, one group for the young flat leader, one group for the middle heir, and the rest of the group is directly responsible for me, two groups for deduction, and one group for rest. ”

"Whoa." The military strategists agreed with a bang, and although most of them were scribes, they had their own military momentum.

Guo Jia turned around and saluted Sun Ce. "General, the situation is urgent, the Military Strategy Office will end the vacation ahead of schedule, and the remaining leave will be compensated, and the salary will be increased and compensated according to the system. Some military ministers have not yet returned, and the ministers have asked that they be allowed to bring their families back to the camp for a temporary stay, so that they can take care of both public and private affairs. ”

Sun Ce nodded. "Agreed, everything will be done according to the established system. All military plots due to public and private affairs have been credited once, and everyone can bring their families into the camp, and the baggage camp will arrange food and lodging in a unified manner. He stood up solemnly, his eyes swept over the faces of all the military advisers, and he bowed down and said, "Hard work, gentlemen." ”

The strategists were surprised and delighted, exchanged a look with each other, and said in unison: "I am willing to serve the general." ”
