Yuan Shao agreed deeply.

Yuan Shao asked Sun Ce to fight Guandu, but Sun Ce came late. Yuan Shao didn't understand it very much, thinking that Sun Ce was just trying to delay time and let him keep his food and food. When he heard Sun Jian and Huang Zhong arrived from both sides, he suddenly understood that Sun Ce was waiting for help.

Needless to say, Sun Jian has been an experienced general for nearly twenty years in the battle against Dong. In the battle against Dong, there were hundreds of thousands of troops in Shandong prefectures and counties. Only Sun Jian had achieved results in the battle. In terms of power and strategy, Sun Jian may be slightly deficient. In terms of ability to command operations in front of the battle, he is a well-deserved master. Huang Zhong was the first general recruited by Sun Ce. He has been as stable as Mount Tai in recent years. Yuchi Mountain has been tricked and forced to surrender Huang Wan in one battle. When fighting for Liang County, he also made the superior troops of Qu Yi and Xun Yan have no choice but to ambush and shoot Yu Fuluo, the Xiongnu Shan, with outstanding command ability, and is enough to stand alone.

With Sun Jian and Huang Zhong's assistance, even if the phoenix on the battle flag had powerful wings, Sun Ce could soar into the sky.

But Yuan Shao couldn't find a similar person. Originally, he had some, such as Qu Yi and Shen Pei, but they were defeated one after another. Gao Lan and Zhang He all had good qualifications, but the number of troops was limited and the qualifications were too shallow, so they could not convince the public if they were alone. Yuan Shao had to let Zhen Yan and Xun Yan play the right and left wings, and they faced Sun Jian and Huang Zhong respectively. Zhen Yan was the leader of the powerful people in northern Hebei, and the Zhen family had more than 3,000 troops, which was not weak. Xun Yan had nearly 10,000 troops from the Yingchuan family, so he was not worried that anyone would not accept it.

If Yuan Tan was here, Yuan Shao's burden would be much easier. Although Yuan Tan was once captured by Sun Ce, he had bad luck in that battle. Based on the two battles with Sun Ce, Yuan Tan may not be Sun Ce's opponent, but he has the ability to stand alone, even slightly better than Xun Yan.

Where did Yuan Tan's ability come from? He also fought on the battlefield, and his opponent was Sun Ce. He could grow so fast that he was inseparable from Sun Ce, a strong opponent. A stone from another mountain can attack jade. If you want to become a general, a heavy opponent is like jade sand that attacks jade, which is essential. Yuan Tan and Xun Yan's growth are the best examples.

Ju Su was so amused and cried, and tried hard to persuade each other. Generals and talents do need to be cultivated, but they have to be divided into timing. Just as a knife refining requires a lot of iron, training a general also requires a price to pay. If you have strong strength and are not afraid of consumption, then of course there is no problem. Now both sides are equal in strength, and the winner is only between two possibilities. Just give your all and play the role of each soldier as much as possible. How can you regard it as a training soldier? If the loss is too large and the military strength is insufficient, do you still expect these generals to win more with less? What if these generals are captured or even killed in battle?

Guo Tu was a little angry and embarrassed. Ju Su's words were suspected of sarcasticating Yuan Tan. He asked back, although Sun Jian was his father and Sun Ce was his son, Sun Ce was the real opponent of the lord. If the Arctic Cavalry was transferred to reinforce Zhen Yan, what would he use to deal with Sun Ce? If Gonghe thought that this battle would be defeated, there would be no need to get entangled here. He simply went westward and used Arctic Cavalry to reinforce Xun Yan, defeat Huang Zhong, and headed straight to Luoyang. Wouldn't it be safer?

The two of them had their own opinions and could not stand stalemate. Yuan Shao was also very troubled and could not make a decision. When it was almost dawn, Gao Lan from the front camp came to report that Sun Ce's camp had movement and seemed to have the possibility of launching an attack. Please be prepared to face the challenge.

Hearing that Sun Ce was about to launch an attack, Yuan Shao did not dare to take it lightly. After listening to Guo Tu's opinion, he sent Shen Ying to lead his troops to reinforce Zhen Yan, and must block Sun Jian. He was also worried that Zhen Yan was not Sun Jian's opponent, and he also sent Wuhuan Shanyu Qiu Liju to lead two thousand cavalry to surround him, waiting for an opportunity to harass and restrain Sun Jian. The strongest armored cavalry stayed by his side and prepared to confront Sun Ce head-on.

Ju Su was helpless.

——

When Yuan Shao discussed with Guo Tu and Ju Su, Sun Ce did not sleep either. He had developed a habit. Once the two armies fought, he would basically not sleep and be ready to respond at any time. After receiving news from Sun Jian in the second half of the night, he learned that Xu Sheng broke through Zhen Yan's blockade, Huang Gai used stone fat as a cover to severely damage Zhen Yan's crossbow position and successfully crossed the Yuanshui. He breathed a sigh of relief.

The first step is to achieve tactical goals.

In terms of overall strength, he and Yuan Shao have their own strengths and are not far apart, but in terms of generals under his command, he won more than one victory than Yuan Shao, and he can fight too many. He sieges from three sides, and the east is not bright and the west is always able to break through. However, Yuan Shao's subordinates are limited in their real ability. Tuo Yi, Shen Pei are dead, Xun Yan, Zhang He, and Gao Lan have just made their way and have no chance to stand alone. The ones who can stand alone are Zhen Yan, Shen Ying and others. They have soldiers, but their command ability is slightly insufficient. When the troops are equal, they still have the power to fight against ordinary generals. When they meet opponents like Sun Jian and Huang Zhong, they can only kneel down.

In order to allow Sun Jian and Huang Zhong to successfully complete the encirclement, Sun Ce did not mind being a partial division and restraining Yuan Shao's main force. As long as he could win, he would not care about these false reputations. Even if he was defeated by Yuan Shao and suffered some losses, as long as it did not affect the final result, he would not care. After receiving Sun Jian's news, they estimated that Yuan Shao would send troops to reinforce Zhen Yan, and decided to push forward and force Yuan Shao to defend the central army.

When the order came out, Lu Su and Dong Xi led their troops out of the camp, beating the war drums, lined up neatly, and forced the Yuan army's camp, as if they were about to attack.

Yuan Shao received the news and rushed to the front of the camp to check the situation. He saw that it was Lu Su's battle flag, so he did not dare to be careless. In the battle of capture of Zhanshan, he had already seen Lu Su's ability. Ordinary generals were not his opponent. Zhang He and Gao Lan might be able to try it. Zhang He commanded the halberd soldiers and could not leave the central army for a long time, so let Gao Lan deal with it.

When the order was passed, Gao Lan led his troops out of the camp and lined up to fight.

Seeing Gao Lan's battle flag, Lu Su stopped moving forward, stayed in a single arrow with Gao Lan, and sent a message to the central army at the same time. After receiving the news, Sun Ce sent Dong Xi and Quan Rou to help. He heard that Gao Lan was fighting in front of the formation, Dong Xi was very moved and quickly left the camp. At the same time, he sent someone to ask Sun Ce for instructions, hoping that he could win and lose with Gao Lan. Last time he was in the capture of Zhanshan, he suffered the loss of Gao Lan and lost dozens of elite soldiers. He had been holding this tone in his heart for a long time.

Almost at the same time, Quan Rou also asked Sun Ce for the first battle. He was ordered to defend Yangdi, but even Kuo Yi and Xun Yan did not go to Yangdi. He was busy in vain, but instead missed the battle between Fenqiu and Longyuan. This time he should be allowed to fight first to compensate.

Sun Ce replied, "Lu Su is the leader of the formation today. If you discuss with Lu Su, he agrees, but I will not object."
