Chapter 19 Burning the Ship
Seeing this, Tang Yu hurriedly said: "Don't look at me, I don't understand"

"If the more than [-] dendrobium grains are not disposed of properly, disasters will definitely happen. The family members who go south to Hefei also need someone to restrain them. Don't worry about entrusting this matter to others. Uncle Zhong is always delicate and meticulous, so he is the best candidate. " Long Xiang looked at Feng Zhong seriously.

Feng Zhong scratched his head and asked, "Don't you need to die?"

"You tiger? I understand everything, Yun Qi didn't let Zhen die." Tang Jue's anxious tone was full of joy. It is naturally the most perfect that an old friend can resolve the crisis without dying.

Feng Zhong ignored Tang Yu, but frowned and asked: "Yun Qi wants me to stay in Hefei?"

"Not only Uncle Zhong wants to stay, but even the newly recruited soldiers are also hiding in Hefei to wait for orders. When the fleet enters the border of Xuzhou, I will fake that you were killed, and no one will know the secret of Hefei." Long Xiang His face was full of seriousness.

"Yun Qi can't trust the new recruit?" Feng Zhong frowned.

"It's not all. After all, there are more than [-] dendrobium grains, which are enough for everyone to eat for many years, but you are afraid that the news will be leaked accidentally, or you will be called to loot by bandits, so when you are in Hefei, you must strictly restrict everyone's whereabouts. To be able to move around in the city, each family must have enough rations per day, but it should not be too much, otherwise it will cause trouble if you are full."

Long Xiang instructed carefully, he felt that the rations withheld were like the 'Birthday Outline' in the Water Margin, and also like the Lin family's sword manual for exorcising evil.

Feng Zhong clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Yunqi, I will properly distribute the food. At that time, the gate of Hefei City will be closed, and the family members will have nothing to do to farm in the city. Such a big city is enough for hundreds of people to have fun. It can put an end to the raids of bandits."

"I don't worry about your work." Long Xiang nodded heavily.

"Then we'll be here," Feng Zhong hesitated.

"Maybe one or two years, maybe two or three years, but Uncle Zhong, don't worry, when the limelight of this matter passes, I will arrange for your family members to meet up in Hefei in batches." Long Xiang didn't have an exact time, he knew that Yuan Shu didn't have a few years to live It's a headache, and I don't know exactly when, but after proclaiming emperor, he is not far from death.

When Yuan Shuzhong betrayed his relatives, he would go south to live in Hefei. The location of Hefei was of great strategic significance, and he would definitely be attracted by the Sun and Cao families. With the experience gained from the project manager position, he would make an empty promise with the Wu and Wei families. Snakes, fanning the flames, may also help Liu Bei win development opportunities.

"Based on Yunqi's character, Uncle Zhong is not worried about the family members of the soldiers, but he is afraid that this incident will offend Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, and he is worried that Yunqi will not be able to escape unscathed."

"Uncle Zhong, don't worry, if you don't have a complete grasp, how can my nephew take risks?"

"Ok."

Based on Longchamp’s project experience, under the premise of a relatively sufficient budget, the design requirements will exceed the quality standards by a lot. Therefore, simple adjustments during the construction process can not only save costs and increase profits, but may also shorten the construction period.

But the current "betrothal gift project" is no longer as simple as plucking the wild goose's feathers, but completely plucking the wild goose's feathers, plus the "construction period" is not waiting for anyone now, Long Xiang can only make mistakes and play the golden cicada to escape the shell plan.

Allocating half of the soldiers to Feng Zhong, Long Xiang set off with the original [-] old troops, all the infantry under his command disarmed and boarded the ship, and forty cavalry followed along the waterway.

Hundreds of grain ships filled with tooth flags sailed from Shaopi to Huai River through Feishui. When the fleet passed Shouchun, Ji Ling's [-] troops also set off at the same time.

From Shouchun to Xiapi, you can go directly via the Huaisi River, but you have to follow the direction of the river and sail in a zigzag way, while Ji Ling's expedition to Xiaopei is to take a straight line to the north by land.

Because Yuan Shu was consumed by the dowry, so much food was consumed that the rations for the [-] army and the recruited civilians were all prepared hastily, requiring Ji Ling to use extreme time to win. There would be problems, so even if Yuan Shu asked Ji Ling to leave later, he had to wait for the dowry to silence Lu Bu. He didn't want the repeated slaves of the three surnames to help Liu Bei.

Long Xiang urged the grain ship to travel day and night, and three days later it left Jiujiang County and entered the boundary of Xuzhou.

After traveling for dozens of miles, the fleet reached the Xutai section of the Huaihe River, where the river turned into a 7-character. Long Xiang ordered the fleet to rest on the shore, and called Tang Yu to explain the deployment.

"Uncle Xi, everyone has been working hard on the boat for days, and they still have to stop at the shore to rest at night, and they have arrived after seven or eight days of sailing day and night."

"I'll give you an order right away, but Yun Qi, your so-called brilliant plan"

Tang Xi hesitated to speak, the closer the fleet got to Xiapi, the more restless he became. After all, there were a lot of sand and rocks on board, and Lu Bu's soldiers couldn't eat them all. How can the general hold his breath?
Long Xiang called Tang Yu aside, and with the sound of the turbulent waves crashing on the shore, he revealed the follow-up plan: "After the fleet passes through the Huaisi Shuikou and arrives at Xiaxiang County, I guess it will be three days later, you arrange people Set it on fire at night, and burn all those boats loaded with sand."

"Is it all right?" Tang Yu scratched his head in confusion.

Long Xiang nodded slightly, "We escorted the grain ship here, but we were attacked by unknown gangsters at night, resulting in the destruction of the ship, the death of people, and the sinking of the grain. We have explained to all parties the result."

"But there is no enemy. Even if Yun Qi wants to set the blame on him, he must not find someone out? If Lu Bu or Yuan Shu asks, how should he answer?" Tang Yu squinted his eyes.

Long Xiang smiled and said: "Uncle Xi is too honest, his tactics are false and true. Anyway, Xuzhou has not been peaceful for the past few years. Cao Song also died in the boundary of Xuzhou. It is not an exaggeration to say that anyone can attack. Let them fight against an enemy that does not exist. Guess for yourself."

"Although I don't understand, I was shocked." Tang Yu scratched his head honestly.

Long Xiang continued to remind: "Remember those boats loaded with grain, Uncle Xi, don't let someone burn it by mistake, you have to leave something for Lu Bu."

"I can save it, and then I will follow Yunqi's general order to act." Tang Yu replied solemnly.

Long Xiang suddenly waved his hand and said: "Today rest for one night, I will leave at dawn tomorrow. Ji Ling's [-] troops will enter Yuzhou and attack Liu Shijun's Xiaopei. It is estimated that he will arrive in ten days at the earliest. I am worried that Xiaopei will not notice. We must rush to the police."

"What?" Tang Jue's eyes widened, and he asked incredulously: "The burning of the ship is such a big event, how can it be done without you in charge? Besides, you and Liu Bei are not relatives, so why do you help each other again and again? Even if you really want to report to Xiaopei , you don't need Yun Qi to go there in person, right?"

Long Xiang patted Tang Yu's arm and encouraged him: "My nephew has already made it clear that Uncle Xi has been through battles for a long time, and there is no problem in acting according to the plan. As for why he went to Xiaopei in person, it has a lot to do with us cutting off the food. Others People can't win Liu Bei's trust, so they go in person."

Tang Jue heard that it was related to food, so he couldn't persuade him any further. He frowned and asked again: "Ji Ling also has cavalry under his command, and the distance between the two sides is not too far apart. Will Yun Qi have time to go to Xiaopei at this time? If so Encountering Ji Ling's troops, how can we make it clear?"
