Chapter 179 The Shadowless and Invisible Knife
Lu Su smiled awkwardly: "Fortunately, Yun Qi reminded me that I didn't consider the direction of the wind, ashamed, ashamed."

"Zijing doesn't need to be modest, the strategy is really good. If a battle can determine the outcome, it's risky to try it, but now that Hefei's strength is weak, there is no need to try again." Long Xiang shook his head lightly.

Lu Su stroked his beard and analyzed: "Yunqi is worried that the emperor's uncle will not come, so it's not worth breaking face with Sun Ce? This policy is dedicated to the emperor's uncle. If we can burn all the Jiangdong warships, in the name of the emperor's uncle, the people of Hefei , I don’t think it’s a problem to win Huainan, but it will be safer when the situation is clear, I can only say that the Jiangdong envoy came at an inopportune time.”

"Zijing is right, we can't miss an opportunity, we have to do something."

Long Xiang pinched the bridge of his nose and muttered to himself.

Lu Su tentatively asked: "Among Deng Dang's dozens of captives, there are many people who are greedy for life, afraid of death, and ungrateful for profit. Why don't you instigate some of them to use for me?"

"Unless we instigate Deng Dang's rebellion and develop low-level soldiers, the results should be very limited." Long Xiang shook his head.

"Most of the soldiers are of low status, so they really won't be of much use. It doesn't seem appropriate to take a few courtiers from the Yuan family."

Lu Su questioned and answered himself, saying that the courtiers of the Yuan family were not suitable because they were difficult for Long Xiang to use, and they all lived in poverty during their stay in Hefei, so it might be too late to win them over temporarily.

At this moment, Long Xiang stood up suddenly: "The first two times it was Zhang Zhao who came to negotiate, I guess he is still here at this time, Zijing will prepare some more gifts this time, and give them to Zibu when he returns to Jiangdong."

"Yun Qi plans to buy Zhang Zhao? This person is highly regarded by Sun Ce, and I'm afraid he won't betray his master easily." Lu Su shook his head straight.

Long Xiang said with a smile: "I didn't intend to let Zibu betray the Lord, I just wanted to make friends with him. Having more friends is easier to travel, and I will need them in the future."

"Alright then." Lu Su nodded slightly.

Long Xiang got up and walked to the center of the house, and beckoned to Lu Su: "It's getting dark outside, and those warships are probably coming soon. If the messenger is really Zhang Zhao, Lao Zijing will settle him in the posthouse."

"Yun Qi needs to go out?"

Long Xiang was not yet married at this time, there was no entertainment at night, and he basically stayed in the front hall to kill time.

Seeing that he was arranging his robes, Lu Su guessed that the other party was either going to the back house or going out to the streets.

Long Xiang glanced at the noodle bowl on the desk, and put his hand on Lu Su's shoulder.

"Just finished dinner, I'm planning to go to Hefei No. [-] to see Zijing out."

"Oh? I heard that Mrs. Feng's cooking skills are very good. Yun Qi didn't want to enjoy his meal, so he deliberately went to his house to improve the food?" Lu Su joked as he walked.

"Ahem. Zijing wants to say that, and I'll leave you here to eat noodles tomorrow."

"When I didn't say it, when I didn't say it"

The two talked and laughed and parted outside the gate of the mansion, and Long Xiang walked towards Hefei No. [-] in the sinking twilight.

After the completion of Hefei No. [-], the response was particularly good, so the organization repaired Hefei No. [-] and No. [-].

It was inconvenient for Tang Yu and his wife to live in Cao Xing's house, so they used the new house allocated to Hefei No. [-] and changed it to a new one in Hefei No. [-] community, and they still became neighbors with Feng Zhong, Cao Xing and others.

Perhaps because of the arrival of the Jiangdong warship, Tang Yu and Cao Xing were still busy with military affairs and did not return home. Only Feng Zhong's house was slightly lit.

Feng Zhong, as the commander of the craftsman battalion, is also Long Xiang's confidant, not to mention that there is meat in every meal, but the richness of the ingredients is not too much, but he and his wife and children are still hard-working and plain, and at night they simply eat porridge with pickled vegetables.

His son Feng Yan was packing up the dishes, when he saw Long Xiang appearing in the front yard, he hurriedly reminded his father Feng Zhong.

"General Long, you are here"

"You eat so late?"

"Father just returned home from work."

Hearing the sound, Feng Zhong came out from behind, smiled and welcomed Long Xiang into the main room to sit down, and asked politely: "Has Yun Qi eaten? I'll ask your aunt to make some."

"Ate"

Long Xiang didn't enjoy eating at night because he felt that he owed a mouthful of food, but he shook his head and denied it.

The maids and servants in the mansion were all found by Feng Zhong. If there is not enough to eat in Jun Sima's mansion, maybe Feng Zhong will beat those maids' family members. Long Xiang couldn't bear Qiao Wan's misunderstanding and hurt Chi Yu.

Feng Zhong nodded slightly, waved his hand to signal Feng Yan to pour water, and said cordially: "You haven't come in a few days, and you came to see Uncle Zhong today, should there be something wrong? I heard that there are several Jiangdong warships parked by the river outside the city. Boat."

Long Xiang was a little surprised. He told Cao Xing not to spread the word, but Feng Zhong actually knew about it.

"Uncle Zhong actually knows? Zijing deduced that when Sun Ce sent an envoy to redeem people, the boat should contain food, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Just now, Old Tang sent someone to inform his younger siblings that he had to go home late due to military affairs, and I happened to meet them and asked a few words.

The soldiers on seven or eight ships are not to be feared. If the food loaded is naturally the best, I also hope that Deng will be returned to Jiangdong as they are.

Although these people work harder, they need to send the same number of people to guard, which will delay the work of many brothers in the craftsman camp."

"I just heard Mr. Qiao say that Deng Dang also wants to pay homage to his comrades in front of the Hero Monument?"

Feng Zhong nodded affirmatively: "I mentioned it before, but I refused. Jiangdong people came to fight Hefei and died in battle. What qualifications do they have to use our hero monument?"

After hearing this, Long Xiang shook his head, and then said meaningfully: "The last time Hefei defended the city, Jiangdong people died dozens of times more than us, and Deng Dang and other secret agents are working hard to make amends. Can't we be more magnanimous?"

"Yun Qi means" Feng Zhong hesitated to speak.

Long Xiang squinted his eyes and said: "If Sun Ce sends envoys to redeem people, these captives will leave the city soon, and arrange for them to pay homage before leaving. While the craftsman camp is building the hero monument, they will also be moving bricks and stones. Contribute, and leave a thought before going back.”

"Then I will arrange it tomorrow morning."

Feng Zhong replied affirmatively, and then reminded: "Yun Qi always has deep meaning in doing things, but we and Sun Ce are enemies after all, and sometimes we can't be too soft-hearted."

Long Xiang nodded slightly: "It's not soft-hearted to ask them to pay homage. We erected a monument in Hefei and the response was very good. Do you think Deng Dang will recommend it to Sun Ce? I actually did it on purpose."

"on purpose?"

Feng Zhong scratched his head and didn't understand. The stele of heroes can unite people's hearts. Wouldn't recommending Sun Ce be the same as sponsoring an enemy?

Long Xiang smiled mysteriously: "Establishing a monument in Hefei can unite people's hearts. If Sun Ce erects a monument in Jiangdong, it may have a counterproductive effect."

Feng Zhong shook his head blankly: "I don't quite understand."

"Those who pay homage to the Heroes Monument today will think of their comrades and relatives who died in battle. The Heroes Monument is a place for them to mourn;

If Sun Ce blindly followed suit, would the people of Jiangdong remember who slaughtered them when they paid homage to their relatives? "

"hiss"

Feng Zhong gasped, thinking that the murderer was not Sun Ce?What's in your head?Why can you think of such a scheme?
Surprised, Feng Zhong nodded and sighed: "It's amazing. This is like a shadowless and invisible knife."
