Han Xiang

Chapter 194

Zhou Yu was originally stationed in Baqiu, Luling, and this time he led his troops thousands of miles to Wu for the funeral, which can only show that Sun Ce's death was not a misinformation.

Long Xiang is the most calm person in the palace, and when he heard that Sun Ce was injured by an arrow and died, he understood that the little overlord could not escape history and should have been assassinated by Xu Gong's retainers.

Originally knew the content of the plot, but Long Xiang couldn't tell.

Seeing that everyone was still surprised, Long Xiang told Cao Xing solemnly: "Except for Sun Ce, there is no one in Jiangdong who is worthy of Zhou Lang's funeral. There is nothing to hide about this death. If you continue to inquire, you will know the inside story. Huainan has been raining heavily these days. , the wind and waves on the river are relatively strong, please tell Liu Xingzuo to be careful."

"Wei." Cao Xing clasped his fists sonorously.

"Yun Qi, this is a happy event, let someone bring more wine, let us drink to our heart's content."

Lu Su and Liu Ye stayed because of a bet and got the news of Sun Ce's sudden death. On the contrary, the newcomer Zhang Fei was the most excited, so that the two masterminds would not leave.

Long Xiang smiled and shook his head: "Alcohol can be drunk but not too much. After all, only fine water can flow for a long time. In addition, Sun Ce's sudden death will have an impact on the situation in Jiangdong. I don't know if Chen Deng will take advantage of the situation to cross the river. Hefei may not be able to." be alone"

"Sun Quan suffered two defeats in Guangling at the beginning of the year. With his ability, he may not be able to inherit Sun Ce's foundation. If the Jiangdong is unstable, the counties will inevitably be in chaos. Why can't General Long afford Hefei's soldiers and follow the example of Sun Bofu to cross the river? He these years There are too many killings in Jiangdong, the general may be able to replace the Sun family."

"At that time, Jiangdong was divided into five parts, and Liu Yao, Wang Lang, Ruo Rong, Zu Lang and others occupied the city, but the situation was very different now. Except Li Shu, the prefect of Lujiang, who was not from Sun's family, the other prefects of Wujun, Zhu Zhi, belonged to Sun Jian's former army. Danyang prefect Wu Jing is Sun Quan's uncle, Yuzhang prefect Sun Ben, and Luling prefect Sun Fu are Sun Quancong's elder brothers. It is very difficult for Yunqi to imitate Sun Ce at this time, but he can take advantage of the power transfer in Jiangdong to find ways to do more in Huainan. article."

After listening to Liu Ye and Lu Su's respective analysis, Long Xiang nodded to the two to give a conclusion.

"Both gentlemen are right, but I am more inclined to Zijing's point of view. Although Sun Quan is not as good as Sun Ce in military affairs, he has been the county magistrate since he was 15 years old. His political ability will certainly not be weak. At this time, it is not a good idea to have an enemy with Jiangdong. Well, plus Huainan itself is not peaceful, sending troops to attack Jiangdong will leave Hefei empty."

Zhang Fei asked nonchalantly: "I see that the city of Hefei is strong, and the defense alone should not require many defenders. No way, you leave Xu Zhongkang in Hefei to defend the city, and I will go to Jiangdong with you to fight."

Long Xiang frowned and replied: "The counties in the east of the Yangtze River have a vast area, and they can be defeated in a short time. You have to prepare warships, grain and grass. If someone comes to attack the grain road during this period, where can you use the troops to stop it? Furthermore, Shishui upstream new If I lose the protection of the garrison in Hefei, these fertile fields may be harmed by others. I only have the land of Hefei, which is not as great as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's family. If I lose, I will lose everything."

"What a great opportunity!" Zhang Fei shook his head and sighed.

Lu Su came forward to explain for Long Xiang: "Yun Qi's character is just like this, he is overly cautious and unwilling to take risks, but his worries are also correct, and now he has worries about fighting Jiangdong. Both Yan Xiang and Li Shu have coveted Hefei for a long time. Once Hefei's defensive strength is out of balance, they will definitely come to the surrounding area to harass, even if they can't break through the city, they will also disrupt production, and our foundation is weak and cannot withstand the toss."

Long Xiang looked at Feng Zhong, Tang Yu and the others with a bitter smile and said, "They understand my prudence best. They don't want to take risks because they really don't have one. Before, it was too difficult to live without clothes and food, and it was hard to live a stable life. Life, who is willing to destroy it? Even if you plan to plot Huainan, you have to think twice, if Huainan is a mess, you might marry someone else."

"Well, the general has thought carefully. Apart from Li Shu and Yan Xiang, Huainan also has Chen Lan, Lei Xu, Mei Cheng and other rogue tyrants. Hefei is located in the center of Huainan, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it."

Liu Ye stroked his long beard and paused for a moment, then changed the subject and began to offer advice: "Sun Ce suddenly died suddenly, Guangling Chen Deng may attack, it is also fine not to send troops to Jiangdong at this time, we can first see Sun Quan's reaction, and Liu Zong has repeatedly Send someone to show your favor, why don't the general take the opportunity to take down Junqiu County? It is easier to directly occupy the city than to build a new one."

As soon as Long Xiang heard that it made sense, he turned to Lu Su for advice: "What do you think of Zijing?"

Lu Su answered affirmatively: "Junqiu is less than a hundred miles away from Hefei. Taking this city can not only make each other horns with Hefei, but also the three counties of Liyang, Fuling, and Quanjiao in the east. Yunqi uses the population of these five counties. With money and food, he is qualified to compete with Yan Xiang and Li Shu for Huainan."

"That's right, as long as Chen Deng can pose a threat to Sun Quan, Wu Jing will not be able to reach out to Liyang. If he can take Liyang, then Fuling and Quanjiao will not be far away." Liu Ye echoed.

Long Xiang nodded affirmatively, and said solemnly to the generals in the hall: "Zi Jing and Zi Yang's words are very good, all governors should be mentally prepared, and when the information about Jiangdong is clarified, we will start to incorporate Junqiu County. Will there be a battle with Liu Zong? In short, strengthen training during this period, and only by sweating more in normal times can we bleed less in battle."

"only."

In the hall, apart from Zhang Fei, the governor of Hefei's Fifth Battalion and Hao Meng all faced Long Xiang and clasped their fists at the same time.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei also stood up, patted his chest and said, "I've been bothering you a lot in Hefei, why don't you let me win Junqiu for you? If Liu Zong doesn't know current affairs, my snake spear will teach him how to behave. "

"After all, Liu Zong is the magistrate of Junqiu County. Sending someone to give gifts is to deter me from destroying Zheng Bao and defeating Sun Ce, but I'm afraid I can't bear to let him surrender the city. There are few troops in the city of Hefei, and a strong attack on the city will inevitably cause great casualties. If we can It's best to fight without blood, like that Yuzhang Huaxin."

At the end of Long Xiang's words, he interrupted on purpose, and looked at Lu Su and Liu Ye intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was saying that Yu Fan used his three-inch tongue to talk about surrendering Huaxin, can you guys talk about surrendering Liu Zong?
The difficulty of besieging the city, even Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were devastated, and Long Xiang was deeply touched by this.

At this time, he was like a stingy old rich man, reluctant to spend Hefei's money, food and soldiers to attack a small county with a small population.

Liu Ye and Lu Su looked at each other with a smile, cupped their hands and said, "The general is quite famous in Huainan, it is not difficult to win the little Junqiu. Let's learn from Sun Ce's 'before the soldiers'. Ye is willing to speak for the general as an envoy."

"So good."

Long Xiang was overjoyed at first, then frowned again, and said worriedly: "If Liu Zong doesn't talk about martial ethics and detains Ziyang in Junqiu as a hostage, it will be troublesome. Zhongkang must take someone with him , I will lead troops outside to respond, so that nothing will go wrong."

"The general is really careful, but this is the best way. If there is an accident in the middle, we will attack directly from inside and outside." Liu Ye stroked his beard affirmatively.

As soon as Zhang Fei heard that Long Xiang had ordered Xu Chu, he quickly pointed to himself to invite Ying.

"What about me? Yun Qi, don't forget about Lao Zhang, I don't live for nothing."

"Haha, Mr. Ziyang's reputation is very high. This battle may not be won. If Yide wants to go, just follow me outside."

"okay."
