Sun Ce laughed in silence, shook his head, got up and left the cabin, stood on the deck, moved his body, and practiced his fist.

The sea breeze blew gently, and the sea water gently patted the boat's belly, making a slight sound. The soldiers on duty stood at the post, with a tall figure and a vigilant expression. Guo Wu and others rushed over when they heard the news. Seeing that Sun Ce had no intention of summoning, they consciously scattered around.

Sun Ce calmed down, held his hands round, his eyes seemed to be closed, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose. The military planners were still arguing, but he was no longer so irritable. Although Liubo lost, he captured Zhen Mi's extremely clever advice. If it were people, there would be disputes over interests, and factions were inevitable. As the territory was controlled, new factions would continue to emerge, and such debates would become more and more intense, and more complex.

Since it is inevitable, then just take it calmly and think about how to control the intensity and turn harm into benefits. Irritability cannot solve the problem, and it will only cause chaos. If you lose the six-bit, it may not be all luck, and it is also related to your mood. If you want to get it too much, but you can't get it, your mood will naturally become chaotic.

Although he was a bystander, Zhen Mi could accurately grasp his current mood and take advantage of this opportunity, which shows that he was smart and did not read the book in vain. Gan Mei is also a person who knows the general, but her initiative is slightly poor. She may not not understand, but she is not as active as Zhen Mi.

Sun Ce calmed down and practiced boxing. He soon entered a state of selflessness. With one move and one move, he was full of energy.

At some point, Guo Jia walked out of the cabin, looked at Sun Ce's agile figure from afar, and sighed quietly. He leaned against the bulkhead, watching Sun Ce practice boxing quietly, silently. The military strategists were on business trips one after another, and some left quietly. Some went up to whisper a few words to Guo Jia, and turned around and left. Only Jun Mou, who was on duty, cleaned up and returned to the cabin to prepare for rest.

After Sun Ce finished practicing boxing, he saw Guo Jia beside him and didn't say much. He slowly put the boxing posture and adjusted his breathing. Then he walked towards the main cabin calmly. Guo Jia followed, and the two of them took their seats. Zhu Ran had prepared tea and stood quietly outside.

"How?" Sun Ce picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Guo Jia shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Everyone is young, but they are very conservative, so I have no choice but to use military service to talk about strange and righteousness, but they only care about righteousness, but forget about strangeness."

“Where is the meeting minutes?”

"It's still being sorted out, and I'll submit it to the Lord to review tomorrow morning."

Sun Ce nodded. "Who else is the most fiercer to object?"

"Kong Ming."

Sun Ce said to Zhu Ran outside the cabin, "Yifeng, go and see if Kong Ming rests. If not, let him come here."

Zhu Ran responded and turned around. Sun Ce looked at Guo Jia quietly, feeling a little unspeakable happy. On the original historical track, Guo Jia died at the end of the 12th year of Jian'an, symbolizing the end of an era. Zhuge Liang came out of this year, symbolizing the beginning of an era. Two geniuses had no chance to fight. Now Cao Cao was hiding in Yizhou, but Guo Jia met Zhuge Liang, and sparks finally broke out between them.

Not long after, footsteps sounded, and Zhuge Liang pushed the door open. He was dressed neatly and could not see any fatigue on his face. He saluted Sun Ce and Guo Jia calmly. Sun Ce did not politely to him, and asked him to say the reasons for opposition. Zhuge Liang nodded and said slowly.

"June, sacrificial wine. Currently, there are only more than ten Ruying people in Jizhou. The real core figures are Guo Gongze, Xun Xiuruo, and Guo Gongze are in charge of secrets and responsible for detailed work. Xun Xiuruo is in charge of the army, one is the confidant and the other is the minion. How could Yuan Tan tolerate them being too close to the lord? There are only two possibilities for doing this: one is that he will not trust them at all, and the other is that he is sure that these two people will not have any unfair intentions. If it is the former, no matter how much the lord gives, it will not fall into their hands. They are just an excuse for Yuan Tan. If it is the latter, what can the lord get?"

Sun Ce did not argue and signaled Zhuge Liang to continue.

"And the marching and fighting, the invincibility lies in me, but the enemy can be defeated. Taishi Ziyi entered western Liaoning and there were many difficulties. Ling Zixing and Mi Zishu fought against Da County, and Hukou seized food. Whether we can win depends on whether our army's baggage is sufficient, whether the generals are wise, and whether the soldiers are strong. If they have money and food, they should naturally be supplied to them first. How can they hope for the opponent's discord, and use limited money and food to bribe the enemy?"

Sun Ce looked at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia's lips curled slightly. "I said all these things when discussing the matter just now, and say something I didn't say just now."

"Here." Zhuge Liang bowed to Guo Jia, and then said, "Sacrifice, do you think Youzhou can go down in one go?"

Guo Jia laughed silently. "Of course it's impossible."

"Since it is impossible, why should I be anxious for a moment? This time I went to Youzhou, Liaodong only took Daxian to gain a foothold. Taishici only had more than a thousand people, all of whom were light and heavy, and they all tried to fight against the big with small. Victory is a joyful thing, but defeat is not harmful. Take this opportunity to test the strength of Youzhou, send detailed works, and establish an intelligence network. Three or five years later, I will have a clear grasp of Youzhou, know its strength, weakness, distance, wise and foolish, brave and timid, and then launch a large army. Naturally, the momentum is unstoppable. Isn't it better to hope for the Ruying faction to balance the Jizhou faction now?"

Guo Jia's eyes flashed, stroked the beard under his jaw and pondered. Sun Ce burst into laughter. What Zhuge Liang said hit Guo Jia's weakness. This attack on Youzhou was led by Guo Jia. One was to compete with Xun You and Xin Pi, and the other was to set up an intelligence network in Youzhou. Because of the shortage of money and grain, it was costly and laborious to lay an intelligence network, so Guo Jia had to take advantage of Youzhou's Youma to promote it, and eventually promote the implementation of the Youzhou strategy. He himself knew the risk and was suspected of snatching food from the Jingzhou War Zone, so he could not lose. Once he lost, he would lose to Xun You and Xin Pi, and externally he would cause losses to Ru Ying Group, Qing Xu Group, Jingzhou Group, and Yangzhou Group to take advantage of the situation to rise.

The purpose of assisting Guo Tu was to restrain Ju Su and force Yuan Tan to use troops calmly, so that Liu Bei could withstand Yuan Tan's attack and was unable to move eastward. Whether this goal could be achieved depends on multiple factors. If it is clever, it will be difficult to achieve immediate results. If it is not smooth, it may backfire and be charged with losing the big picture due to small losses and harming the public for personal gain.

This will hurt Guo Jia's original goal. This is something that Guo Jia cannot accept.

"Is there any?" Guo Jia's tone had eased.

"Yes, I oppose additional funding for the Ruying faction because of the shortage of money and grain, and the income is not enough. Qingxu suffered from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the people were displaced, the population dropped sharply, and the fertile land was abandoned, so it could not be supplied to the army. Many people took refuge in Liaodong. Gongsun Du chose the available ones and used them, so he became strong for a while. Even if the war in Youzhou was lucky enough to succeed, he would be unable to advance quickly, and it would be a stalemate. The most urgent task is to restore Qingxu's production. If one qian is invested in Qingxu, you can get ten or a hundred qian in the future. A few years later, Qingxu will resurrect prosperity, with fundamental solid branches and leaves. The people returned to their hometowns, and Gongsun Du had no one to use it. The fine camp of sacrificing wine has been established. One has increased and the other has become weak. How can the enemy not defeat it?"

Guo Jia looked at Zhuge Liang quietly, with a slightly raised corner of his mouth and surprised eyes. "Why didn't you mention this just now?"

"I am a native of Qingxu, this suggestion is selfish and has no convincing power. Junhou, I can speak without any restraint in front of the pride."

Guo Jia nodded. "This is also a reason."

Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Sun Ce knew that he was shaken, and at least he would not stick to his ideas for a short period of time. He clapped his hands. "Okay, it's getting late. You discussed all night and were tired. Let's go back to the cabin to rest. Then calm down and think about it. See if there are any missing places."

"Here." Zhuge Liang bowed to take the order, bowed to Sun Ce and Guo Jia, and stepped out one after another. Guo Jia watched Zhuge Liang leave, looked at Sun Ce again, and laughed: "June, Kong Ming has made great progress and is good at dancing, so he can soon stand alone."

Sun Ce smiled but said nothing. He saw Zhuge Liang's progress, but he didn't want Zhuge Liang to be independent too early. He still had a lot of room for improvement. His expectations for Zhuge Liang were not just for the prefect of a county or the governor of a state. He wanted to be trained as the prime minister. It would be unfavorable to stand up too early.

“Are you stressed?”

"He is under pressure. His knowledge is more comprehensive than mine, and his future achievements are immeasurable. Among all the young people, only Bo Yan is comparable to him."

Sun Ce smiled. "It is really not easy to make you, Guo Fengxiao, say such words. Those who know others know, and those who know friends know. Fengxiao, your progress is not small."

Guo Jia laughed. "I know how to stop and never be humiliated, but I am content. I know my own strengths and weaknesses. I am afraid of my life, but I don't want to humiliate myself."

——

The sea breeze blows, the east is gradually brightening, the stars are gradually disappearing, and the fish belly is white on the sea level. Although the rising sun has not yet shown its majestic momentum, it has already made people feel the majestic momentum and its own touching beauty.

Gradually, a little redness appeared at the intersection of water and sky, like iron in a forge, slowly extending to both sides and spreading rapidly. Then, a red sun rose from the sea level. Although it was only a corner, it emitted a dazzling light, shading half of the sky into a brilliant light.

"Wow—" Zhen Mi jumped and pointed at Dongfang. "Husband, look, look, the sun is coming out."

Sun Ce leaned on the railing, with his face laterally, looking at Zhen Mi, whose little face was redder than Chaoyang, and he felt indescribable joy. Although Zhen Mi was his concubine, he had tried Li Dai Taozun with him, and he was considered a relative of skin. But in his heart, Zhen Mi was just a child, and it was better to be more like a sister than a concubine. He had three sisters, but Shang Hua and Shang Ying had few opportunities to get close to him. Shang Xiang was too young and had many playmates around him. He didn't usually stick to him, but Zhen Mi came to him if he had anything to do. Although he had the intention of competing for favor, he was almost dependent on brother and sister.

"You can tell me now why you won three games in a row yesterday?"

"Hehe." Zhen Mi stared at Chaoyang, grabbed Sun Ce's hand, and put something in each of his hands. Sun Ce looked carefully and saw that there were two pairs of dice, the same style, but the feel was different. One pair was the same as ordinary dice, while the other was a little heavier, which was obviously a cheating tool filled with mercury. He couldn't help laughing, and held Zhen Mi with one hand, raised her high and placed it on the railing. Zhen Mi was not afraid, spread her arms and cheered in the wind.

"Sunrise in the east, shines on my China—"
