Han Xiang

Chapter 266 Turning corruption into magic
After hearing this, Qin Yi thought he was a good guy, but he didn't feel at ease with all three strategies.

He pretended to be calm and stroked his beard, and then asked with vacant eyes: "If General Long leads troops to hunt for thieves, how much money and food will he need?"

"Hmm" Long Xiang squeezed his chin, pointed at Lu Su and said, "I can't just talk about military affairs, I need to discuss it with Zijing. Considering that Sun He has [-] soldiers, Sun Quan can also send reinforcements at any time. Less is not enough to see."

Qin Yi kept slandering in his heart, but still nodded calmly.

He glanced at the imperial edict in his hand, and thought about handing over this thing first, so that his trip would be regarded as a business trip, and the three strategies are pure nonsense.

"General Long has thought carefully. I just suggested that I will report back truthfully. You first accept the edict of appointment, and then wait for the news about how the imperial court will reply."

According to Long Xiang's experience in the workplace, waiting for the news means refusing, so how could there be further words?

Looking at the imperial edict handed over by Qin Yi, Long Xiang still had no intention of accepting it. He took a step back and clasped his fists and said, "It's a long way to go to Xudu, and it's a long way to go back and forth to ask for instructions. Why don't General Qin hold this edict and go directly to Lujiang to persuade him?" Tui Sunhe?"

Qin Yi's eyes widened, and there seemed to be a sentence written on his face: You scumbag want to harm me?

"If General Qin succeeds, he will be famous all over the world. If you have any concerns, you can go back and ask Governor Liu for instructions." Long Xiang paused, and then asked in a low voice: "The real governor should be in Shouchun, right?"

"Ah."

Qin Yi nodded slightly in response, then silently put down the hand holding the edict, thinking that he seemed to be returning in vain, why didn't he pay attention the last time he came to Hefei, this guy is actually proficient in eloquence.

Careless.

Long Xiang continued to remind: "General Qin, if he feels that his status is not enough, he can suggest that Governor Liu go to Lujiang in person, but if the court does not adopt the two strategies, then it will be difficult for him to do so."

Liu Fu rode alone to Hefei, but after suffering for three months, how could he dare to go to Lujiang to find happiness?
Qin Yi looked up and glanced outside the hall, and found that the sky had already darkened. Thinking about the failure of his mission, he should return to Shouchun early, and don't be stuck in Hefei moving bricks and firing kilns.

"That's the end of the conversation, I will return to Shouchun, and I will take my leave."

Just as Qin Yi raised his fists, Long Xiang strode forward and pressed them down, and said enthusiastically, "It's getting late, why should General Qin be in a hurry? I haven't held a banquet for the general yet."

Swords are tense at the negotiating table, and relationships must be maintained after business is done. Long Xiang is very familiar with this process.

Qin Yi's mission failed, where is there to drink on his mind?At this moment, I just want to go back early, so I shook my head and refused: "It's still a matter of state affairs. You can have a banquet at any time. You are welcome, General Long."

"I mentioned Hefei Fragrant Pig just now, but General Qin hasn't tasted it yet, why don't you take this opportunity today?"

"General Long's kindness, Mr. Qin appreciates it, but I'm worried about state affairs, and I'm not in the mood to have a banquet, so I don't need it"

Originally, Qin Yi insisted on leaving, so Long Xiang should let nature take its course, but it was getting late at this time, he was worried that Qin Yi would go out of the city and break into the construction site of the new city, which would be bad, so he had to let him wait until daytime, and the tiger guards camp' Escort' to General Ridge.

Long Xiang pointed to the outside of the hall and continued to persuade him to stay: "It's going to be dark, and I guess I'll have to sleep in the open a few miles out of the city. Since General Qin has no intention of having a banquet, why don't we stay in the posthouse in the city and start tomorrow morning?"

"The post house?" Qin Yi frowned and hesitated.

Long Xiang looked at Lu Su and nodded slightly: "It just so happened that Zijing and I calculated the total and reported the number of troops, horses, money and food needed for the next strategy, so that the general can have an explanation when he returns."

"also."

People are under the roof, Qin Yi can only agree.

Long Xiang then followed Xu Chu to 'escort' Qin Yi to the post house, and the two hundred followers were also under the supervision of the Tiger Guards.

Seeing Qin Yi leaving in a huff, Lu Su couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing.

"Yangmou vs. Yangmou. I was watching from the side just now and found that Qin Yi's face was particularly exciting. I just don't know what Cao Cao thinks, and what the person who advises him thinks."

"Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun south to Shouchun. By this time, he should have gone north to fight Yuan Shao. I don't know when the envoy will make an attack."

Lu Su stroked his beard and said: "Let's just be ourselves. When is Yunqi going to get through the channel? Sun Quan may be willing to capture the empty city, but at this time Xiahou Dun is guarding Shouchun, and he may not go north to fight. Secretly unite with Chen Lan to put pressure on Shouchun?"

"Chen Lan?"

Long Xiang shook his head slightly: "Keep this chess piece for now, it may be useful in the future, we can't expose it, let Sun Quan move."

Lu Su wondered: "How to move?"

"Although Shouchun has five or six thousand defenders, Xiahou Dun is not good at using troops. He had to send someone to Jiangdong to speak out and lure Sun Zhongmou to make meritorious deeds."

Long Xiang smiled knowingly, and said in his heart that he would not let Brother Hundred Thousand taste some sweetness, how could he work hard to go north in the future?

Lu Su saw the corners of Long Xiang's mouth raised, rolled his eyes, stroked his beard and asked, "Could it be that Yun Qi wants me to go to Jiangdong?"

"The eloquent people in Hefei are Zijing and You Zhengping. I can't send him there, can I? Besides, Sun Quan has a good impression of you, so it's very suitable for you to go."

"It's fine, just what excuse?"

Long Xiang reminded with a smile: "Didn't Qin Yi give you a reason just now? Since we are attached to Jiangdong in name, we should report more and ask for instructions more."

"Wonderful." Lu Su nodded slightly: "When I send Qin Yi away tomorrow, I will rush to Jiangdong immediately. Let's have a good chat tonight, and what can we say to 'motivate' Sun Quan."

Long Xiang said: "There is a saying in my hometown 'money can make ghosts turn the mill'. People are most likely to be impulsive when they are greedy. Zijing only needs to draw a big cake for Sun Quan."

"Draw a pie?"

"Well, to draw a big pie in the Central Plains, Sun Quan is young and energetic, eager to succeed, how can he not be on top?"

Lu Su nodded frequently after listening, and pulled Long Xiang to sit beside him and talk.

"I'll go home late tonight and learn how to draw cakes from Yun Qi."

"En." Long Xiang echoed, and then stood up again: "Your Majesty, please sit down. I'll ask someone to bring you some food. We'll eat and talk later, and I have to call You Zhengping."

"You Zhengping, what did Yun Qi call him for?" Lu Su showed a surprised expression.

Long Xiang turned around and smiled mysteriously: "I'm going to report to Qin Yi tonight, I'm thinking about arranging an old acquaintance for him."

Lu Su frowned and shook his head: "Qin Yi didn't have a high position back then, so he might not have met You Zhengping in Xudu."

"Isn't that good? The two of you can make friends tonight, and I'll ask Zhengping to chat with him to relieve boredom."

"Your trick is bad enough. Let You Zhengping be the receptionist. Qin Yi probably will leave early tomorrow morning, and I'm afraid he won't come again in the future."

Long Xiang looked smug: "This means that if you are born with talents, you will be useful. In the future, whenever the princes send people to plot against me, I will let you Zhengping receive the envoys."

After hearing this, Lu Su was silent, and lamented that Long Xiang "turned decay into magic", and Mi Heng, who was avoided by the princes, became a weapon in his hand.
