Han Xiang

Chapter 382
Long Xiang heard that Chen Deng was sincerely offering advice, but considering his character of seeking stability, using a positive strategy would be tantamount to breaking with Sun Quan.

With Long Xiang's current background, even with Chen Deng's help, he would definitely not be able to defeat Jiangdong.

Take a popular saying in later generations: Why should the hard work of several generations lose to you after ten years of hard study?

Long Xiang will break with Sun Quan sooner or later, but he needs to wait until Liu Bei grows up slowly and has a certain strength to challenge Cao Cao. At that time, the existence of Jiangdong is dispensable.

If he turned against Jiang Dong in advance, it would disrupt Long Xiang's plan with Lu Su and Liu Ye.

That is to use Jiangdong to contain Cao Cao and delay Cao Cao's process of unifying Hebei.

Seeing that Long Xiang was not interested, Chen Deng stopped entangled, and continued to state: "If the Yang strategy is not suitable, I have a dark strategy here, which can take advantage of Jiangdong's internal conflicts and rot from the inside like an orange;

First of all, Sun Ce's hands were stained with blood when he swept Jiangdong, so that he was assassinated and suffered the consequences, but the hatred did not disappear because of his death;
Secondly, the invasion of the Sun family harmed the interests of many people, and the Jiangdong clan still did not obey at this time; in the end, when Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, the internal stability of the Sun family was not stable, and you can find ways to take advantage of it. "

Long Xiang shook his head and sighed: "I am aware of these situations. We know the truth, and Sun Quan also knows it. It is probably not easy to instigate dissension."

Chen Deng stared at Long Xiang and suddenly smiled knowingly.

"You open an underwear store in Wu County, and the customers are all famous people. As long as you make good use of it, you may not be able to infiltrate it, but the evil strategy is just a small plan. The combination of Yin and Yang will work well. If there is no external threat to fuel the fire, No matter how serious the internal conflict is, it can be suppressed."

"This"

After hearing this, Long Xiang was greatly shocked, and said to himself that Chen Yuanlong can think of things, and there are experts in Jiangdong if they are not guaranteed.

At this time, Long Xiang was reminded that he had to find a proper solution, but he couldn't admit it in front of Chen Deng at this time.

"I'm a serious business, and Hefei is still counting on Jiangdong's supplies."

Chen Deng reminded with a smile: "What a good way, you should use it."

"I'll talk about it later." Long Xiang prevaricated briefly, and immediately changed the subject: "I heard that Yuan Long got sick from eating raw fish, so I made a new way to eat barbecued meat."

Seeing Long Xiang's hype, Chen Deng frowned and questioned: "Pork is smelly and cheap, can it be delicious when roasted? I have only eaten roasted lamb, and then I like fish. These are fresh foods."

"Yuanlong doesn't believe it? Since I'm your friend who forgets the year, I'm not talking nonsense. When you recover from illness and leave the city, how about giving you a farewell party with roast pork?"

"Alright."

Coming from Chen Deng's family background, he has never eaten any good food. Although he is not interested in roast pork, he still has to talk about the scene.

The two sipped cucumbers and sipped wine, and chatted a lot about Xuzhou's old news, especially the tension between Lu Bu and Liu Bei, showing appreciation for Liu Bei both in and out of the conversation.

After drinking a pot of rice wine, the cucumbers on the plate were also wiped out, and Long Xiang left immediately.

When I went out of the post house to look at the sky, I saw that the sun had already set to the west, but the remaining power was still there.

Long Xiang got on his mount and suddenly felt something was wrong. He thought he brought the wine, so how could he be inexplicably drunk?

Chen Deng mentioned Liu Bei intentionally or unintentionally just now, could it be that he saw something?
Thinking of this, Long Xiang frowned unconsciously, thinking that if this matter got out, it would be bad for him and Liu Bei.

What did I say wrong just now?
Leaning on the back of the chair in the main room of the back house, Long Xiang closed his eyes and maintained a frown expression. Qiao Wan noticed the worry written on his face, and she asked someone to bring a bowl of plum juice and put it on the table.

"Husband, are you drunk? Drink a bowl of plum juice to sober up."

"Huh? Oh"

Long Xiang opened his eyes and looked at Qiao Wan, grabbed the bowl with one hand and drank it down in one gulp, then showed an expression of drinking strong wine.

"Why is it so sour?"

"I also feel sour, and you still blame me for not drinking." Qiao Wan pouted and sat next to him.

"But this is too sour, isn't it? Wasn't it delicious before? Could it be?"

Long Xiang thought to himself, could it be because of drinking?At this time, I remembered the departmental dinner when I first joined the work. At that time, several male compatriots in the office were depressed the next day, and they highly suspected that they drank fake wine last night.

It just so happened that someone brought a piece of seabuckthorn juice that day, and Long Xiang rushed to the toilet as soon as he swallowed it. The sour taste of the seabuckthorn was very similar to the current plum juice.

Qiao Wan held her chin and looked at Long Xiang: "What is it? Is it because I drank the wine? It has always tasted like this. My mother said that the sour one is more appetizing, but the elder sister is better. She uses this as drinking water."

Long Xiang chuckled, and joked: "I remember a saying from my hometown when I was a child, I like to eat sour when I'm pregnant and I want to give birth to a son. Xiaojun also drinks more if he wants to give birth to a son."

Qiao Wan was startled: "Did Mr. Hua tell you?"

"What's the matter, Mr. Guan Hua?"

Seeing Long Xiang's puzzled expression, Qiao Wan hurriedly explained: "A few days ago when my husband went to inspect the new city, my mother invited Mr. Hua to check his pulse, and he personally told me about the son that my eldest sister was pregnant with. We planned to surprise you later, but I didn't expect Mr. Hua do not listen to greetings”

Long Xiang scratched his head: "Mr. Hua didn't tell me, and I don't know about the son the eldest lady is pregnant with."

"Oh." Qiao Wan nodded slightly: "Then you know now? If the eldest sister and mother ask, they are not allowed to say that I said it."

Long Xiang first patted Qiao Wan's head, and then patted her lower abdomen and asked, "I just said I guessed it myself. The eldest lady gave me a son. Is the second lady a son or a daughter?"

"Mr. Hua said that he can't be sure now, and maybe he will be able to wait for another month."

In the middle of Qiao Wan's speech, she raised her head and glanced at Long Xiang, and asked in a low voice, "Husband, if the concubine gave birth to a daughter, would you be disappointed?"

Long Xiang scratched Qiao Wan's nose, and replied tenderly: "Why should I be disappointed? Isn't my daughter very good? She must be as beautiful as Madam."

"It's still a troubled time. It's not a good thing for women to be beautiful. If my eldest sister and I hadn't met our husband, we might have become playthings at this time." Qiao Wan didn't continue.

Hearing this, Long Xiang's desire for protection welled up in his heart, and he put his arms around Qiao Wan with a serious face:
"Don't worry, Xiaojun, whether it is my woman or my daughter, I will protect it with my life. Don't forget that I am the Lord of Hefei. Maybe when the children grow up, the world will be peaceful?"

"The world is peaceful? That's not an easy task. Don't just worry about us and your daughter, your son must be considerate on purpose."

Qiao Wan originally said that it was just right here, but she just superfluously added: "I'm talking about the eldest sister's son."

"Haha, it's said that the first pregnancy was stupid for three years." Long Xiang laughed: "Where is my clever second lady before? Since you want to give birth to me a son, you will definitely work harder for your husband in the future."

Qiao Wanqiao blushed, and patted his arm lightly: "What kind of force. It's so ugly"

"Uh, I mean work hard, because my husband just talked about it."

Long Xiang showed his big white teeth and smirked. When the two were chatting and laughing, Chen Shi appeared ghostly outside the main room like a 'teacher in charge'.

"Yun Qi, dinner is ready, you and Xiao Wan should come over earlier."
