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."

Sun Ce could not refute Guo Jia, so he had to turn to Zhou Yu. "Gongjin, I will leave the troops to you. Are you sure to take down Chaisang?"

When Sun Ce and Guo Jia were arguing, he didn't say anything, and Xun You remained silent. Seeing Sun Ce asking him about his opinion, Zhou Yu shook his body and said slowly: "In love, what Bo Fu said is reasonable. As a son, filial piety is the first, and what he benefits and harms the latter. In reason, what he says is extremely destined. Runan is just a small problem and has no big worries."

"Aren't you nonsense? It means you didn't say anything." Sun Ce said angrily: "I'll ask you if you can take Yuzhang alone."

"Bofu, I don't agree with you only bringing your personal guards to help Runan." Zhou Yu raised his head and looked at Sun Ce. He explained Sun Ce's plan in his heart in one sentence and expressed his opposition clearly. "Chaisang is nearly a thousand miles away from Runan, and has been rushing for help, which is unheard of."

Sun Ce frowned, looked at Xun You, and then let it go. He actually knew that this decision was irrational, and he would not agree with any brains. With Xun You's IQ, he could not support his suggestions at all.

He and Xun You haven't known each other for a long time. This time, they met in Chaisang. After spending a few days together, Xun You didn't say a few words, and most of the time they just listened. But he could see that Zhou Yu had many opinions out of Xun You, at least he participated in Xun You's suggestions. Zhou Yu trusted Xun You very much, and Xun You was also very dedicated to Zhou Yu, and even intended to avoid contact with him.

A gentleman does not win people's favors, and he does not want to leave Zhou Yu with the intention of winning people's confidant, and has never had contact with Xun You in private.

Seeing Sun Ce's expression confusing, Zhou Yu laughed and said to Xun You: "Gongda, Bo Fu is confused when he cares about it, and it is difficult to make a decision for a while. It is necessary to combine the suggestions of many people. You might as well tell me your opinion and give Bo Fu the participation."

Seeing this, Xun You bowed slightly. "Since that's the case, I will talk about my suggestions. General Zhou was right. General Sun was heartfelt and could not be doubted. He also said it thoroughly and clearly, and there was no doubt about the truth."

Sun Ce rolled his eyes secretly. He knew that it would be useless to say it.

"However, since Yuan Shao's purpose is to force General Sun to rush to Runan and lift the siege of Yuzhang, if General Sun does not lift the siege of Yuzhang, Yuan Shao will definitely refuse to give up and will likely increase his troops. At that time, the general will not be able to fight and will eventually rescue the siege and rush to Runan. Instead of doing this, it is better to go now, and be calmer and eliminate the possibility of Yuan Shao's desperate bets."

After hearing this, Sun Ce moved slightly and understood what Xun You meant. He looked at Guo Jia. Guo Jia was meditating and said nothing. The feather fan in his hand shook twice and nodded. "What Gongda said is reasonable. There is a difference between virtual and real in using troops. If it is not appropriate, it does not mean that it cannot be done. We can use non-value instead of real in place, and make a good layout to prevent Yuan Shao from jumping over the wall. Gongda, what do you mean?"

Xun You drooped his eyelids and remained silent. He neither said right nor said wrong. Seeing this, Guo Jia laughed and pointed at Xun You with a feather fan. "You are just unhappy." He looked at Zhou Yu again. "You have similar personalities, no wonder you can say it."

Zhou Yu smiled and retorted: "You and Bo Fu are born kings and ministers, and we are beyond our reach."

Guo Jia was dancing and laughing, feeling a little satisfied. He looked at Xun You. "Gongda, although you have known the general for a long time, the general highly respects you. If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have let you eat and drink for so long in Mucaotang, Wancheng. Today's situation is related to the gains and losses of the Central Plains, and it is not up to one person to decide. It's better for you and I to join forces to plan a game for the general, reject Yuan Shao from Hebei and take Yuzhang from Jiangnan, how about it?"
