Han Xiang

Chapter 178 Lu Su's Version of "Red Cliff Fire Attack"

Hefei grows rice and wheat twice a year, and households in the city alternately eat rice and pasta every day.

Long Xiang likes to eat pasta at night, originally he just said it casually, but he didn't expect that Hou Zhai really sent a bowl of 'noodles', it's just a bit exaggerated.

Qiao Wan has no life experience, and directs the kitchen staff according to her own imagination, and finally has this 'dark cuisine'.

The noodles, which are as thick as a girl's fingers before being put into the pot, swelled by nearly half in volume after being cooked. With lard, salt and other seasonings, the contents of the bowl become unspeakable.

Long Xiang moved the chopsticks, and was hesitating whether to eat or not, when Lu Su hurried to Jun Sima's mansion.

"Yun Qi is really hardworking, haven't you had dinner yet?"

Lu Su smiled and walked to the front, saw the object in the bowl with wide eyes, and asked strangely: "This is this?"

Long Xiang explained calmly: "This is something made of flour, but it is different in shape from soup cakes."

"Food pays attention to the color, flavor and shape. The bowl of noodles in front of you has changed chefs today?"

Lu Su shook his head, stepped back and sat down, pointing at the noodle bowl with disgust on his face.

Long Xiang bitterly told the story of the afternoon, saying that he was just talking casually, but he didn't expect Qiao Wan to actually make a bowl.

After hearing this, Lu Su stroked his beard and laughed: "It's hard to bear the grace of a beauty, the second lady is so kind, Yun Qi eats it quickly, so we can talk about business."

Long Xiang picked up the noodles and asked, "Is Zijing full? Do you want to share half with you?"

"No, I'm very full, Yun Qi should enjoy it by himself." Lu Su shook his head straight.

Because the noodles are thick and difficult to cook, they need to be cooked on a high fire after being put into the pot, and they will definitely not be strong after being put in the pot.

Long Xiang was like eating batter, and finally he drank it with soup, thinking that he would make popular science noodles some other day, otherwise he would lose his appetite the next time he saw it.

Lu Su was sitting at the bottom, seeing Long Xiang devouring the noodles, his admiration rose in his heart, he said Yun Qi was really heroic, I couldn't say anything, and I don't know how much he would eat in his married life' Weird 'Things.

Seeing Long Xiang push the noodle bowl to the foot of the table, Lu Su clasped his fists and asked, "Yun Qi asked me to come here for the Jiangdong warship, right?"

"Those who know me, Zijing also."

Long Xiang tapped on the case: "There has been no news of Sun Ce for some days, and this guy suddenly sent a warship into Chaohu Lake. Could it be for the purpose of attacking the city later?"

"When the Spring River is warm and farming, Sun Ce is attacking by water, and there is no need to recruit civilians for supplies. It is indeed a good time to go out, but I think the possibility of war is not high. This time it may be a good thing for Hefei." Lu Su stroked his beard and analyzed. .

"How?"

"Sun Ce gave up Hefei last year to crusade against Chen Deng in Guangling, but Chen Deng moved his government office to Sheyang. Sheyang is not accessible by boats and there are many swamps and depressions around. It has only been two or three months now, and Sun Ce will definitely not be able to conquer it." Guangling."

As soon as Long Xiang heard that it was reasonable, he hurriedly asked: "What's good for Hefei?"

Lu Su replied with a smile: "Sun Ce fought Hefei last year, and Hefei is naturally Jiangdong's enemy. We have all thought about uniting with Chen Deng. Wouldn't Chen Deng come to us? The technique is more than adequate."

"Zijing means" Long Xiang has basically guessed it.

Lu Su then announced the answer: "Sun Ce must have sent someone to make peace. Those warships may not be carrying soldiers, but ransoms for Deng Deng's dozens of people."

"I have experience in supervising grain before. Seven or eight boats are carrying several thousand hu of grain. Zijing's guess is very likely."

Long Xiang went on to add: "For the sake of the counties in the north of Lujiang River, Li Shu has recently fought fiercely with the governor Yan Xiang. He secretly linked up with Chen Lan of Yanshan Mountain and started a Three Kingdoms War in Huainan. Sun Ce is afraid that I will help Yan Xiang."

Lu Su stroked his beard and sighed: "It's a pity that Sun Ce didn't know Yunqi's ambitions. The harder these people fought in Huainan, the more people under their rule fled to Hefei. After the spring, the number of refugees increased again."

"Well, it seems that it is necessary to build a new city."

"The advantage of Hefei is that it has food reserves. Building a new city is costly and difficult to achieve in a short time, and it needs to recruit young and strong people to affect the farmland. At that time, the refugees who defected will leave, so that the latecomers can be temporarily resettled outside the city, and officials and soldiers will be sent to manage it. Wait for the opportunity It’s not too late to build a new city when it’s mature.”

Long Xiang frowned, and said in a deep voice: "If Li Shu, Yan Xiang and others lead troops to attack, the crops outside our city can be discarded, how about the newly attached people?"

"Hefei has a great reputation for defeating Sun Ce. Li Shu and Yan Xiang will not dare to come here. If we dare to come, we will be able to defeat the enemy. As for Sun Ce, he may not come if he is restrained by Chen Deng. If he does come, he will have to give up." Lu Su said helplessly Spread your hands.

Seeing that Long Xiang was silent, Lu Su continued to remind: "Yunqi, don't forget about the emperor. He is now defeated in Xuzhou, and he is likely to come to Hefei. Hefei's money, food, and military resources are best preserved first, so that they can be used to capture Huainan at that time." , as long as the emperor's uncle conquers the entire Huainan, are you afraid that the people will not have a place to live in the city?"

"That's right."

Long Xiang nodded lightly: "If Sun Ce sends an envoy to redeem someone, should we do something? When will we contact Chen Deng?"

Lu Su stroked his beard and replied: "Uncle Huang is familiar with Chen Yuanlong, this matter should wait for him to come. The redemption depends on Yun Qi's intentions. If you want to make a good relationship with Jiangdong, you should deliver it truthfully. If you want to report the last attack If you want to take revenge, you can detain the envoy and the grain ship, send false news back to Jiangdong to lure the enemy, and lure the Jiangdong warship into a trap to ambush."

Long Xiang was confused when he heard it. He had heard of ambush for soldiers and horses on land, but had never heard of ambush for warships, so he asked curiously: "How to set up ambush for warships? Please Zijing explain."

Lu Su walked to Longxiang's case, laid out the map next to it in the center, pointed to the water application outside Hefei, and began to explain.

"Sun Ce has Liu Xun and Huang Zu's thousands of warships, which can traverse various places through the Yangzhou water network. If they are not destroyed, there will be threats;

Recently, I came up with a plan to use water to enter the Chaohu section of the river to defeat the enemy, that is, hide the boats filled with sand and gravel in Chaohu Lake, wait for the warships from the east of the river to enter the water supply, and dump the sand and gravel at the end of the water supply to block the road , and then in the upper reaches of Hefei, the fire boat rushed down the river, and at the same time the two sides of the bank threw fire things into the river
Let him have thousands of boats and thousands of boats, and all of them can be burned."

Long Xiang was startled when he heard that, and thought that Lu Su is really a good guy, you are a copy of Chibi Fire Attack, right?

It is a good way to close the door and beat the dog, but the Jiangdong soldiers abandoned the ship and went ashore. The combat power on land is stretched, but there are many people, and the existing defenders in Hefei may not be able to eat them.

The most important thing is that the southeast wind blows in spring at this time, and I don't have the ability of Kong Ming to borrow the wind, so I can only save this plan for backup.

"Zi Jing's plan is very clever, but at this time the wind is blowing from the southeast, and although the fire boat is going smoothly, it is not going along with the wind. This plan is more suitable for autumn and winter. It's really not the right time right now. I don't want to play with Sun Ce for the time being."

Long Xiang said in his heart that the ship could be rebuilt if it was burned, but if he was not strong enough, he would completely offend Jiang Dong. The days to come would be almost the same as Huang Zu's, and he would visit him every few days.

What's more, Sun Ce's days are not many, there is no need to take the cause and effect to himself.
