Han Xiang

Chapter 409

Zhao Yun set foot in Jiangdong for the first time, and had never experienced a water battle before.

Liu Ye reminded Huang Zu to pay attention to Sun Quan's reinforcements, and Zhao Yun also made a retreat plan according to Liu Bei's instructions.

Huang Zu's blitz attack on Nanchang was unsuccessful, which brought great changes to the rest of the war.

The main force of Jingzhou was concentrated outside Nanchang, while Chaisang and Haihun both left thousands of defenders. Zhao Yun was worried that Jiangdong's reinforcements would not save Nanchang, and instead attacked Chaisang and Haihun to make Huang Zu divide his troops. Defeating each of them would make the battle passive.

Half of the warships brought by Huang Zu docked at Chaisang Water Village, and half docked at Ganshui near Nanchang, and Haihun was the granary of the army.

Whether Chaisang or Haihun falls, it will affect the morale of the soldiers in front.

Zhao Yun didn't care about conquering Nanchang, his task was to bring Liu Ye back safely.

In the retreat plan, in addition to taking the water route, Zhao Yun also chose a time-consuming land route, that is, the route from Liu Pan's invasion of Yuzhang, entering Changsha County in the opposite direction, and then returning to Xiangyang by boat.

It takes several times more time on land than by water, but Zhao Yun is a cavalier who is used to horses. Compared with traveling by water by boat, he feels more at ease with horses and land.

Zhao Yun didn't have the confidence to control things other than his major, so he sent several scouts to scout out the way and go through the retreat route in advance while he was stationed in Haihun.

On the day Deng Long came to ask for advice, Zhao Yun's first batch of scouts returned from Jianchang and reported in detail the terrain of this section of the mountain road.

After discussing Gan Ning with Liu Ye, Zhao Yun suddenly remembered that when Chaisang was captured, Liu Ye had sent people to Hefei by boat, thinking that if he encountered Jiangdong reinforcements during the return journey, or if Chaisang was captured by Jiangdong reinforcements, then it would be Can't come back to revive?

In the unfortunate event of being captured by Sun Quan's people, the information on his body may be exposed.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun hurriedly reminded Liu Ye: "Sir, you are sure that Jiangdong reinforcements are coming, what about the messenger sent to Hefei? I heard that Jiangdong's navy is relatively powerful. There should be patrol boats on the Yangtze River. into danger"

"Haha, don't worry about Zilong." Liu Ye comforted with a smile: "There are people in Hefei who are on the river to meet him. If he really can't come back, he will return to his hometown. General Long will find a way to contact us again. Just pass on the situation in Jingzhou to let us know." It is enough for the family to feel at ease.”

Hearing that the scouts don't need to return, Zhao Yunxin said that the risk of exposure would be greatly reduced, and now he only hopes that the journey can be smoother, after all, Huang Zu's scout ship is also with him.

Zhao Yun didn't know that Liu Ye's nephew Liu Fu was in charge of the only navy in Hefei.

After Tai Shici was stationed in Liyang, Hefei's reconnaissance fishing boats still operated in Chaohu Lake, Ruxushui, and the Yangtze River, but they pretended to be fishermen.

Every time they go out of the boat, they try their best to ensure the catch of fish, so that they can hide from Tai Shici's eyes.

Not long after Tai Shici arrived in Liyang, Long Xiang took the initiative to write a letter to express his goodwill to him. In the letter, he talked about his friendship with Sun Quan and said that the two sides should help each other as neighbors.

As the saying goes, don't hit people with smiling faces. Although Hefei is a potential threat to Jiangdong, Long Xiang took the initiative to show friendliness, and Tai Shici had to show due courtesy.

Coupled with the frequent trade between Hefei and Wu County, and the frequent traffic of merchant ships in the Chaohu and Ruxu waters, Tai Shici did not include fishing boats as suspects.

Because Liu Ye moved quickly, he sent people to report safety, before Jiangdong noticed it. The Yangtze River was relatively calm at that time, and he met Liu Fu's people smoothly.

Regarding the information about Liu Ye and Jingzhou, Liu Fu personally rushed to the Registrar's Mansion to report to Lu Su.

Recently, Qiao Wei was about to give birth at full term, Long Xiang handed over all the military affairs of the old and new cities of Hefei to Lu Su, and concentrated on walking and chatting with Qiao Wei at home.

Hua Tuo estimated that Qiao Wei would give birth at the end of the month, and Lu Su had just received the information from Liu Ye in the second half of the month.

He originally wanted to wait for the child to be born before looking for Long Xiang, but considering that Jingzhou was making such a big move, there must be new news from Jiangdong, so he still bit the bullet and came to the door.

Long Xiang didn't hear anything outside the window at first, but Lu Su basically didn't look for him if he could handle it, so he must have something very important to come to see him.

When I came to the main hall in the vestibule, I saw two baskets beside Lu Su. When I approached, I found that one basket was full of eggs, roughly estimated to be several hundred, and the other basket was red dates that were produced in season.

Eggs and red dates are food suitable for pregnant women to recover. The Chen family had already prepared some, but Lu Su's delivery seemed to be too much.

Jujubes can be stored for a long time, but the shelf life of eggs is not so long, and there is no electricity or refrigerator in this era, so Long Xiang frowned.

"Zijing, what gift did you bring when you came back? Besides, there are too many eggs."

"Ms. Qiao needs it after giving birth. I don't think it's enough. Eat a few more for each meal and finish it quickly. Besides, there are two pregnant women in Yunqi's family."

Long Xiang shook his head straight after hearing this: "No matter how delicious something is, you will get tired of eating it every time. Besides, the second lady is still early, and I should wait until tomorrow spring. My kitchen has prepared a lot. You will bring it back and cook it for you later." Sister-in-law, she should have two months left."

"How can anyone bring this gift back?"

Lu Su hastily reached out his hand to refuse, and then encouraged Long Xiang to say, "Yun Qi is very good at making food. What are a few hundred eggs? If not, make them all into preserved eggs? If Mrs. Qiao is tired of eating, let the kitchen cook differently." , it will never be broken."

"Alas"

Long Xiangxin said that eggs can be made into preserved eggs, but the stability and quality are far inferior to duck eggs, and salted eggs may be preserved for a few days, but these may not be suitable for pregnant women, especially after Qiao Wan became pregnant. .

Chinese savior crepe?

These four words suddenly jumped into Longxiang's mind, and he said that this thing consumes a lot of eggs, and it can be used as a snack or a staple food. It is almost not difficult to make. It only needs a stove and a metal disc for spreading pancakes .

Long Xiang is good at pasta. He thinks it's time to invent another food. The stove below is also well designed. It can bake pouches, barbecue meat, bake pancakes, and then serve delicacies such as new Roujiamo.

The second lady is lucky.

Long Xiang glanced at the egg basket and ordered a set of pancakes and fruits.

"Zijing came to the door suddenly, is there something important?"

"Well, Huang Zu suddenly sent troops to Yuzhang a few days ago in order to avenge his past. Sun Ben should be very dangerous."

"His Taishi Ci has just arrived in Liyang, Huang Zu is really good at picking his time, but Jiangxia suffered a disastrous defeat a few years ago, so Huang Zu's warships are simply not enough."

"Although Jiang Xia is short of warships, don't forget that Huang Zu has his back against Jingzhou."

"Liu Biao dispatched warships to Huang Zu?"

"Hehe, not only dispatched the warships, but also dispatched Liu Pan's troops out of Changsha, and sent Liu Ziyang to Huang Zu's army as counselors on military affairs."

"Zi Yang?"

After only talking to Lu Su for a few words, Long Xiang swallowed his saliva three times in a row, each piece of information was more explosive than the last one.
