Han Xiang

Chapter 267
Qin Yi left early the next day and didn't even say goodbye to Long Xiang.

On his mission to Hefei again, Qin Yi ate the most delicious pork and the worst post officer he had ever seen.

Qin Yi finally understood that Liu Fu would become thinner, and being with Mi Heng was more painful than imprisonment, so he said nothing about coming to Hefei again.

If he must come, Qin Yi hopes to lead troops to fight in.

Being "escorted" by Xu Chuhu's guard camp, and following a strict route to the general, Qin Yi dared not say a word on the way.

Whether it was Liu Fu in Shouchun or Cao Cao in Hebei, they never expected Jia Xu's conspiracy to be cracked.

On the day Qin Yi left, Lu Su crossed the Yangtze River in a small boat and went straight to Wu County where Sun Quan lived.

At the same time that the Hefei ship arrived, Sun He also sent people from Lujiang to deliver a letter. The news that Xiahou Dun led troops to reinforce Shouchun was also learned by Sun He immediately.

Sun Quan seemed very annoyed by the intelligence. He thought that he should have gritted his teeth and directly chose Long Xiang's fastest construction period. Maybe he had won the empty Shouchun at this time.

Now that the opportunity is missed, Sun Quan is unhappy all day long.

Just as he was about to go out to hunt and relax, suddenly the guards reported that Lu Su was visiting, and Sun Quan led someone to welcome him to the back hall.

The last time Lu Su came to offer his condolences, he also met Sun Quan at the same place, but now that Sun Ce passed away almost a year ago, the mansion no longer seemed to be holding a funeral.

When they met each other and greeted each other, Sun Quan invited Lu Su to take a seat in the hall, and asked questions in a casual manner:
"What is Zijing doing here?"

"Under the order of General Long, I came here to report to Marquis Wu that Xiahou Dun led thousands of troops out of Xudu, and they have been reinforced to Shouchun at the beginning of the month."

Lu Su didn't know about Sun Quan's known information, so he seemed very sincere when he spoke.

Sun Quan could feel Lu Su's sincerity, shook his head and sighed: "I already know about this matter, I hate how fast Cao thief reacted."

"Wu Hou knows?"

Lu Su looked surprised, and then said again: "Su has one more matter, the Marquis of Wu certainly doesn't know about it, and Cao Cao sent an envoy to declare that General Long will be the prefect of Lujiang."

"Oh?" Sun Quan squinted his eyes after hearing this, and asked meaningfully: "I wonder if Yun Qi was ordered, or solved by a magical method?"

"This time the envoy's ceremonial guards are in good order. I don't think the envoy is inappropriate anymore, but after receiving the edict, he fell into a scheming scheme. Therefore, General Long can only talk about difficulties, and he is not accepted by the method of delay. He said that General Bohai (Sun He), the Marquis of Wu The eunuch, but the emissary said, but said, "

When Lu Su reached the last two sentences, he hesitated and couldn't finish the sentence.

"What did the messenger say?" Sun Quan frowned.

Lu Su replied: "The envoy said that he would report back to the imperial court and order General Bohai to leave Lujiang, or send troops to fight against the rebels."

"Damn."

Sun Quan slapped his palm on the table angrily, making a clear and loud sound.

Seeing this, Lu Su added in a low voice: "General Long asked me to ask Marquis Wu for instructions. How should I deal with this matter? The general said that if Cao Jun really made a move, he would not let him borrow from Hefei. General Long knows who is a friend and who is an enemy. "

Sun Quan nodded thoughtfully. In order to appear to be powerful, he did not immediately express his opinion, but instead asked Lu Su: "Sir, you are very resourceful, what do you think about this?"

"My point of view?"

Lu Su pointed to himself, got up and flicked his sleeve robe after being confirmed, and said disdainfully: "It is rumored that the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is imminent. It is a pity that General Bofu missed the battle of Guandu last year; now Shi Feiqu can be completed in June. Don't miss this rare opportunity, if you defeat Shouchun, you will be able to take Xudu directly."

Sun Quan was noncommittal, but instead asked about the project.

"The excavation of the Shi Fei Canal is a bit slow. Are you sure it will be completed in June?"

"The current construction progress is normal and should be completed on schedule."

After Lu Su answered truthfully, Sun Quan followed up and asked: "Can't Long Yunqi be faster? Is it that difficult to dig channels? I, Jiangdong, have contributed a lot."

"Wu Hou has seen the construction budget. Digging a canal is not just digging a small ditch. Many dams on both sides of the canal and river need to be reinforced, and they often have to rework when it rains."

According to the words taught by Long Xiang, Lu Su poured out the bitterness during the construction period, and reminded Sun Quan that the half-year construction period was chosen by you yourself. If you are willing to spend more money, you can get out in three months if you rush to work.

Sun Quan didn't understand engineering terminology. He shook his head and sighed after hearing Lu Su's implication: "At the beginning, no one thought that the Cao thief would actually reinforce Shouchun. This time, even an empty city will not be spared. Now even if Shifei Canal can be penetrated in June , I am afraid that I have also lost a good opportunity to go north."

"The Marquis of Wu is absurd."

Lu Su showed a heartbroken expression, and said: "This is the best opportunity to go north. Is Wuhou going to miss this opportunity?"

Sun Quan sat up straight and thought to himself, why don't I understand?Are our brains structured differently?
"How?"

Lu Su didn't answer directly, but asked meaningfully: "If Shi Feiqu can be completed ahead of schedule, and Marquis Wu also seized Shouchun, then what are you going to do?"

Sun Quan thought for a while, and according to the idea in his heart, he replied solemnly: "Naturally, Shouchun is the fulcrum, and then go east to capture the first line of the Huai River city, and then attack Chen Deng's Guangling from both front and back."

"End?"

"It's over."

Lu Su was very surprised when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Could it be that Marquis Wu has no intention of competing in the Central Plains?"

Sun Quan said in his heart that this is a city mansion, how could he directly reveal his feelings?
Seeing Lu Su's strange expression, he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Cao thief is powerful and capable of using troops. I plan to take it slowly, first take Huainan and then Xuzhou, and then enter the Central Plains."

By the time you're done with all this, the daylily will be cold.

Lu Su satirized Sun Quan's innocence, but on the surface he didn't judge whether he was right or wrong. He stroked his beard and asked, "Mei Cheng harmed Shouchun, and the former big city has almost become an empty city. Can Marquis Wu know why Xiahou Dun brought troops to garrison?"

"For Huainan?"

"It's not very accurate. There are many bandits in Huainan, and General Long has no ambitions. Who do you think Cao Cao is guarding against?"

"Defend against me, Jiangdong?"

"However, when Shishui and Feishui pass through, Jiangdong warships can go straight to Heluo. How can Cao thief not be afraid? The more afraid, the more opportunity there is."

Sun Quan was aroused, waved his hand to Lu Su and said, "Zijing might as well explain it clearly."

Lu Su nodded and stroked his beard, and said: "If Shi Feiqu was dug ahead of time and Shouchun was obtained by Jiangdong soldiers and horses, Cao Cao must first solve his worries. At that time, he temporarily gave up Yuan Shao and went south to seek battle. What do Marquis Wu think the odds are? Can you keep it outside?"

hiss.
Why didn't I think of it?Sun Quan was nodding on the surface, but he was very restless in his heart.

Lu Zijing is really a good think tank, but it's a pity that Mingzhu secretly voted with Long Xiang, so he had to find a way to take it for his own use.

Seeing that Sun Quan did not express his opinion, Lu Su continued: "At this time, Xiahou Dun is going south, which means that Cao Cao's main force must go north, and the Central Plains is empty. If Xiahou Dun can be defeated and Shouchun can be captured, the Jiangdong warship can go directly to Xudu. Do you intend to replace Cao Cao?"

"Zijing's words made me suddenly understand"

Sun Quan's smile lasted only for a moment, and then he frowned again: "It's just that Xiahou Dun is a general of the Cao army, and Shouchun's five thousand defenders are not too small. I'm worried that I won't be able to win quickly."

"Marquis Wu is afraid of Xiahou Dun? Where did the heroic spirit of attacking Lujiang go last year? You can ask about Xiahou Dun's life. Although he is Cao Cao's arm, he is often defeated in Cao Ying. Anyone can ride on his head. General Long met in Yuzhou in the past, and he could easily defeat him, how can Marquis Wu be invincible?"

Lu Su smiled brightly, revealing that Xiahou Dun was weak, so don't miss this opportunity.

Using Longchamp's description of the future world, it can be summed up in six simple words: people are stupid and money comes quickly.
