Han Xiang

Chapter 137 The loyalty of heaven and earth, chilling for the heart?

In ancient times, population was wealth. Sun Ce took tens of thousands of prisoners in Wan County, and he would not keep the prisoners in Wan County, but transferred them all to Wu.

Tens of thousands of people migrated across the river, which required time and warships.

When the cost of warships was tight, Sun Ce did not have enough conditions to go south to help Sun Ben, so he took advantage of the gap and led his troops to go north, intending to eat up the small power Long Xiang.

During the interrogation of several captives, Zhou Yu pieced together some information about Hefei.

Probably Long Xiang merged Zheng Bao, gained a lot of money, food and population, and made Hefei a large county with tens of thousands of people.

There are many treasures in the treasury of Wanxian County, but there is a relative shortage of grain.

Sun Ce can use property to motivate soldiers, but the need for military rations is more direct in war.

Hearing that Hefei may have enough food in storage, Sun Ce's eyes are green. He can not pursue Long Xiang's crime, provided that Hefei can pay enough.

In order to ensure the quick capture of Hefei, Sun Ce appointed Li Shu as the prefect of Lujiang, leaving him with [-] defenders, and the rest of the troops marched northward, including nearly [-] soldiers from Wan County.

Zhou Yu formulated three strategies for Sun Ce: outsmart, gentle, and strong attack. Each strategy required a strong force as a deterrent.

If the above two strategies are not successful, and the second strategy is to be used to attack Hefei, the soldiers must be used as the vanguard of the siege to consume the defenders' bows and physical strength.

Nearly [-] soldiers and horses marched in mighty force. When the army reached the north of Shu County, they caught up with dozens of escaped craftsmen, and interrogated them and learned that their destination was also Hefei.

Zhou Yu had an idea, and suggested to Sun Ce, "Long Xiang is taking in refugees in Hefei, why don't we send dozens of people pretending to be craftsmen to sneak into the city? If the two strategies of outsmarting and being gentle don't work, it will be easier to destroy the city if there is an internal response."

"Do you really want to be so cautious? Although there are seven or eight thousand defenders in Hefei, most of them are the remnants of Zheng Bao. The combat power is probably not as good as that of the defenders in Wan County. How can I stop my [-] army? If Long Xiang can be made , will definitely know the current affairs and return to Jiangdong."

Sun Ce didn't take Long Xiang seriously at all, and his words showed contempt.

Zhou Yu remonstrated: "Although Long Xiang is not an outstanding man, Lu Zijing should not be underestimated. If he really helps Long Xiang to defend the city, Hefei may not be as easy as Wan County. I suggest that the faction should enter the city first, and we should settle the matter here as soon as possible. Or go south to Peng Ze to defeat Liu Xun."

"Forget it, just Yigongjin."

Sun Ce nodded in agreement with Zhou Yu's request, and dispatched Deng Dang to pretend to be a fleeing craftsman first, then frowned hesitantly and said, "I don't think Gong Jin's best strategy is good, but if this matter gets out, people may criticize me and say that I am a woman in attacking the city." .”

Zhou Yu laughed loudly: "Haha, history is written by the victor, and it is only natural for a beauty to be a hero. Besides, Bo Fu and I are each alone. Even if the world misunderstands it, others will share it. Why should Bo Fu bother?"

"That's right."

Sun Ce stroked his beard and nodded slightly, and joked to Zhou Yu: "Although Qiao Rui's two daughters are far away, it is enough to have us as sons-in-law."

Zhou Yu said to Zhou Yu: "Bo Fu was once a general under Yuan Shu's command. Don't you know that Qiao Rui's two daughters are both stunning? You won't regret splitting me up?"

"What is Gong Jin talking about? You and I love brothers, how can I be burdened by beauty? Besides, in the past, I worked for Yuan Shu and spent many years fighting outside, rarely paying attention to other people's affairs. I really don't know that the two daughters have amazing looks. "Sun Ce shook his head after speaking.

Zhou Yu smiled mysteriously: "I don't believe it."

"Gong Jinxiu is joking, if the second daughter has promised someone else, you may not be able to do the best plan."

"The Qiao family is still in the filial piety period, and Long Xiang is Qiao Rui's subordinate. He can't ignore his status. Nor should we have hope anyway."

"I don't care. Anyway, Gong Jin's three strategies, there is always one that will work."

"Of course, Zijing is talented, but I am more confident."

"Don't think too much, Gongjin. This trip is just training for soldiers. Only Liu Xun's soldiers can help me achieve great things. Longxiang and Hefei? I haven't paid much attention to it yet."

Sun Ce didn't take Long Xiang seriously, and Long Xiang didn't take Sun Ce seriously either. He knew that Sun Ce had fought Lujiang, but he had never heard that Sun Ce had fought Hefei. After all, Hefei was prepared for Sun Quan.

Even though Sun Ce attacked Wan County unexpectedly and Liu Ye came to defect with his family and a large number of craftsmen, Long Xiang never thought that Hefei was in danger.

In more than ten days, nearly [-] people fled from Lujiang to Hefei, far exceeding Long Xiang's expectations.

It is gratifying that half of the refugees are craftsmen, which is of great benefit to the construction of Hefei; unfortunately, apart from Liu Ye's family, there are hundreds of people who have nothing to eat, and Yuan Shu's wife, children and family members are also under the plan of Chang Shi Yang Hong. Came to Hefei smoothly.

Yuan Shu's wife, children, and family were used to rich clothes and fine food, so it was not wrong for Long Xiang to drive them away, and it would be an eyesore to keep them for nothing.

Long Xiang placed these hundreds of "Bodhisattvas" in the repaired Guoxiang Mansion, and distributed food to the people in the mansion according to the standard of the newly arrived refugees.

With no meat, wine, and servants to serve, Yuan Shu's wife, children, and family members were not used to it at first, so they sent Yang Hong, Lu Mian and others to complain many times. .

In troubled times, it is not easy to find a place to eat.

Yuan Yin first abandoned Shouchun and voted for Liu Xun, and later voted for Hefei because of Sun Ce's surprise attack on Lujiang River. Although the conditions here in Longxiang are difficult, he is Qiao Rui's former general. difficult.

Long Xiang didn't like raising idlers, especially the children of aristocratic families like Yuan Yin and Yuan Yao. He was going to find a place to send them away, after all, the temple was too small to accommodate the Buddha.

On the second day of October, the autumn wind rolls the leaves.

With a piece of grass in his mouth, Long Xiang leaned against the tower in the north of Hefei, thinking about the whereabouts of Yuan's family, while waiting for Luo Yicheng to return to his life.

Luo Yicheng had been delivering letters to Xuzhou for more than a month, and Long Xiang estimated that it would be almost time to return to Feifei, so he would go to the Beicheng Tower to stay for a while every day.

There are many forces around Huainan, Long Xiang currently only knows Liu Bei, he can't cheat his lord and send the Yuan family's burden to Xuzhou.

Long Xiang didn't know Jiangxia Huangzu and Yuzhang Huaxin. Jiangdong Sun Ce became the only place for the Yuan family, and that was also the historical affiliation of Yuan Shu's family.

The reason why he dare not choose Sun Ce is because Lu Su is the only suitable middleman.

Lu Su and Long Xiang only had less than two years of 'contract' left, and Long Xiang was worried that when Lu Su helped him send the Yuan family away from trouble, Governor Lu would beat the dog with meat buns, which would outweigh the gain.

It's hard.

Suddenly a gust of golden wind passed by, rolling the withered and yellow leaves onto the city wall.

Coincidentally, a leaf covered half of Long Xiang's eyes, and under the sunlight, the 'meridians' inside the dead leaf were clearly visible.

Long Xiang squeezed the dead leaves in his hands, looked at them for a long time and then recited his favorite famous ancient prose.

"Fuqiu, the criminal officer is also a yin at the time; and the soldier is like a soldier, and he uses gold in his actions. This is the righteousness of the heaven and the earth, and he always has the heart of killing."

The righteousness of heaven and earth, chilling for the heart?

Sun Ce didn't have long to live, so let's take care of him for a while, and when the little bully dies after being assassinated, he will give the Yuan family to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan may have to say thank you to himself for accepting such a big gift.

Miao Miao Miao.
