Han Xiang

Chapter 233 Fight your brain, you can't do it

Sun Quan came to Chaohu to meet Long Xiang, intending to get to know his opponent personally.

After all, Sun Ce was defeated in Hefei, and Sun Quan did not underestimate his opponents when he was a fledgling, nor did he overestimate the enemies in other people's mouths.

The Jiangdong main force led by Xu Kun is resting and waiting on the south bank of the Yangtze River at this time. Whether Jiangdong will fight Hefei or not will have to wait for Sun Quan's order in Chaohu Lake.

Sun Quan found out that Longxiang was in Hefei and could be wooed by digging Tongshi and Fei channels.

After the business was done, Sun Quan got up and was about to leave. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the tall tower behind him, and his suspicious personality caused him to frown.

Long Xiang's ability to observe words and expressions is very good. Seeing this situation, he wanted to clear up his doubts, but thinking of Sun Quan's suspicious character, his own explanation became a cover-up, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked: "General Sun, what is this?"

"Oh"

Sun Quan came back to his senses, and pointed to the tower to test again: "Yunqi, this tower is rather abrupt at the pier, does it have any special function?"

Long Xiang realized it suddenly, and used the excuse he had prepared: "This tower is used as a guide for sailing. In case of extreme weather or strong wind and waves, a red flag will be hung on the top of the tower as a warning, and a lamp will be lit at night. Convenient for night boats to berth at the pier”

"good"

Sun Quan nodded affirmatively, turned around and told Zhou Tai: "General Long's method is very good, remember to remind me when you go back, and set up some guiding towers in Jiangdong."

"The end will be saved."

Zhou Tai accepted the order with his fists clasped, and immediately reminded: "My lord, the wind is blowing. If you have nothing else to do, please board the boat quickly."

"Ah."

Sun Quan turned around and bid farewell to Long Xiang and Lu Su: "Yun Qi, Zi Jing, we had a great conversation today, you don't have to send them away, we will meet later."

"Wu Hou walk slowly."

"Farewell."

Sun Quan stayed on the shore for half an hour, then urged the fleet to head for Ruxu Shuikou.

Due to the wind blowing on the lake, Zhou Tai escorted Sun Quan back to the cabin to rest, while Han Dang stayed on the deck for half a mile before rushing to find Sun Quan.

"Lord."

"Why did Lord Yi come late?"

"The general was watching on the deck just now, and found someone walking around on the guidance tower. It should be Long Xiang monitoring our movements. The general suspects that the tower is not only for guiding fishing boats, but also has a high probability of military use."

"Hahaha, Yigong's arrow skills are exquisite, and his eyesight must be good."

Seeing that Sun Quan was smiling instead of angry, Han Dang clasped his fists puzzledly: "Since Long Xiang is deceiving on purpose? My lord, why are you?"

"Cheating?" Sun Quan stopped smiling and asked, "Did Mr. Yi find any loopholes in Long Xiang's rhetoric?"

"Never."

When Han Dang shook his head in response, he was still confirming with Zhou Tai with his eyes, but the other party's eyes were full of helplessness.

"Long Xiang's words are perfect, why should I expose them?"

Sun Quan spread his hands and sighed: "This person is indeed a little clever, but he only thinks about being rich and safe, so he shouldn't be a threat to Jiangdong. Maybe there is no Qiao family in the world, and Long Yunqi's ambition will be bigger. Unfortunately, .pity"

Han Dang and Zhou Tai looked at each other, and asked in unison, "What do you mean, my lord?"

"Don't worry, the two generals. I already know the details of Long Xiang. Now that the Lujiang River has just been pacified, the situation in Huainan is not yet stable. It is still useful for me to keep him."

Sun Quan was sure that Longxiang had no ambitions, and he was the one who controlled Li Tun, who was familiar with Longxiang's companion, Qiao Rui's former guard captain.

Last year, Sun Ce captured Wancheng with a surprise attack, and Li Tun was moved to Jiangdong as a slave as a prisoner. This year, Sun Quan attacked Lujiang again to expand his army, appointed Ji Ling, Lu Mian and other Yuan Shu as generals, and Li Tun and other captives were released from slavery and restored to military status. Only then did Sun Quan find out about Long Xiang.

Without Li Tun's informant, Sun Quan would have no idea of ​​the beauty of the Second Bridge, and would not conclude that Long Xiang would fall into a loss of beauty, let alone invite Long Xiang to Chaohu to test the truth.

Although Sun Quan is a vigorous young man, he is more obsessed with power than beauty. He thinks that those who achieve great things should not miss the gentle hometown.

Seeing that Sun Quan was full of confidence, Han Dang clasped his fists again and reminded: "My lord, don't underestimate Long Xiang. Have you forgotten Fu Yu's explanation? At that time, he attacked Junqiu and met Xu Chu defending the city. At the same time, there was Xu Chu in Hefei who defeated Zhang Duo. Hefei really old”

Sun Quan shook his head and interrupted: "You don't need to say too much, Mr. Fu, can you recognize the real Xu Chu or the fake Xu Chu like Fu Yu and Zhang Duo? Xu Chu's elder brother, Xu Ding, is also under Long Xiang's command, and both of them are good at flying. Shi Zhe, if Xu Ding defends in Junqiu under the banner of Xu Chu, do you think Fu Yu can tell?"

"This"

Han Dang was at a loss for words immediately, thinking that Fu Yu's martial arts skills were mediocre, maybe he really thought Xu Ding was Xu Chu?

Seeing this, Sun Quan patted Han Dang on the shoulder: "According to the information we have obtained, Long Xiang must bring Xu Chu as his guard when he goes out. Xu Chu's courage can even cover his elder brother. Yi Gong also suffered a big loss from this guy, but you know why I am so angry. Take the general with you?"

"The end will not be known."

Seeing Han Dang's bewildered face, Sun Quan suddenly said seriously: "I know the general hates Xu Chu deeply, and I deliberately took you with me today to let you see clearly in person. Xu Chu also only has two hands and two legs, and his body length is not as good as that of Xu Chu's." The general is tall and strong, what can he experience with Long Xiang? You begged for the yellow scarf with my father, defeated Dong Zhuo, entered Luoyang, and you will follow me to conquer the world in the future. There is no need to fight bravely with a man."

"Lord."

Tears welled up in Han Dang's eyes when he heard that. He was seriously injured by Xu Chu Feishi, and he always felt that his face was dull. There seemed to be a knot in his heart that couldn't be solved. At this time, facing Sun Quan's solution, he suddenly felt relieved.

Han Dang was so excited that he knelt down and bowed: "I can't repay my lord for my kindness."

"General, please get up."

Sun Quan helped Han Dang with both hands, then looked at Zhou Tai and said, "I'm not as good at martial arts as my elder brother, and I can't take the lead in the battle with tenacity, but it is precisely because of this that you have the opportunity to display your talents, and you don't have to be shrouded in the light of your elder brother." .”

"Lord."

Just as Han Dang was lifted up, Zhou Tai knelt down next to him again. Sun Quan was secretly proud after seeing it, and said that buying people's hearts does not necessarily take the lead, perhaps a few simple words can achieve the effect.

Han Dang represents the veteran of Sun Jian's era, Zhou Tai represents the backbone of Sun Ce's era, and Sun Quan deliberately asked the two to come to Chaohu just to prepare for this moment.

If Sun Ce is still alive, Sun Quan would like to tell him: If you fight with your fists, I can't do it; if you fight with your brain, you can't.

Just when Sun Quan bought people's hearts, Long Xiang and Lu Su watched the fleet disappear from sight, and then walked down the tower hand in hand to prepare for Hefei.

Seeing Xu Chu bring the horses, Lu Su suddenly frowned, and said to himself: "Sun Quan kept probing today, and there are reasons to explain it, but it is really puzzling to bring Han Dang to face General Xu. .”

"Maybe he wants to put pressure on us? He wants to say that he won't be afraid to lead his defeated generals." Long Xiang scratched his head.

Xu Chu curiously asked: "What pressure is there on the defeated general? Maybe it's simply that there is no one in Jiangdong? Sun Quan is still far behind Sun Ce?"

"Zhongkang thinks that Sun Quan is weaker than Sun Ce? This is a big fallacy"
