Han Xiang

Chapter 390

The ascension to the emperor's hall here is not because Tai Shici has the idea of ​​becoming emperor, but like Liu Bei's previous struggles, he has the ability to make contributions.

I hope to truly become a vassal, and even achieve the height of the Sangong Jiuqing.

However, Tai Shici had to go to Liaodong to avoid disaster for several years because he offended the state officials violently when he was young. Compared with Liu Bei, he was less calm and tenacious, and finally died of depression because of being marginalized in Jiangdong.

In fact, before Cao Cao died of illness, apart from Yuan Shu who dared to proclaim himself emperor, including Liu Bei, Yuan Shao and others, none of them thought of becoming emperor. Small warlords like Tai Shici, as long as they have a normal mind, they would not have the idea of ​​becoming emperor. .

Of course, the later Sima family, with the joint efforts of father and son, destroyed the beliefs of the people of the world.

Since then, killing the lord and the emperor has become a common occurrence.

Tai Shici regained hope, led his troops down the Yangtze River by boat, and arrived in the waters of Niuzhu in a few days, and the opposite bank of Niuzhu was Liyang.

The bow of the boat pointed to the direction of the pier and reminded Tai Shici: "General Ziyi, it should be that the lord and Chang Shi have arrived, and they are very interested in your appointment this time."

Tai Shici stroked his beard and sighed: "According to the etiquette, I should have paid my respects to Wujun, but I didn't expect my lord to welcome you here. It's really a corporal of courtesy."

"Don't look at the young master, behave differently"

Yu Fan has a straightforward personality. He doesn't like or dislike the current Sun Quan for a while, but compared with the old master Sun Ce, at least he is far behind in military affairs.

So in the face of Tai Shici's evaluation, Yu Fan answered relatively neutrally.

Tai Shici mistakenly thought that Yu Fan was boasting, so he nodded in agreement: "I guess the situation in Huainan is tense, and my lord should be anxious for me to take up the post, so I saved the troublesome things. Such flexibility is really a blessing to Jiangdong."

"Ah."

Yu Fan smiled awkwardly: "The general can keep these words with the lord."

The main ship sailed slowly to the pier, and Sun Quan on the shore was like a college student waiting for his girlfriend in a long-distance relationship, and greeted him enthusiastically with a smile on his face.

When Tai Shici got off the boat, while Sun Quan was sizing up the other party, Tai Shici was also sizing up the new lord.

One is sharp-edged, has a strong face, is seven feet seven inches long, and has a beautiful beard; the other is blue-eyed and purple-bearded, with a big mouth, seven feet six inches long, and his face is also different from ordinary people.

Neither of them looked like ordinary people, but Tai Shici was more suitable for the aesthetics of the time. He was a tall, mighty, heroic and handsome man. This may be one of the reasons for his sympathy with Sun Ce;

Sun Quan looked a bit strange because of his long top and short bottom, but as the leader of a party, he had a unique aura, which made up for the lack of body.

When Tai Shici reached the shore, he clasped his fists and bowed. Sun Quan supported him with both hands and said that he was exempt from the ceremony. Then he exchanged greetings with Zhang Zhao and others.

After a brief introduction, Sun Quan held Tai Shici's hand, like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, and walked side by side to Linjiang Pavilion on the wharf.

Sun Quan was not as good as Sun Ce in appearance, but his humble attitude gave Tai Shici enough face. He silently thought that the new master was not bad, and might help him realize his ambition.

When you come to Linjiang Pavilion, there are wine and meat on the stone table.

Several exquisite snacks were specially brought by Sun Quan from Wu Jun.

Sun Quan pointed to the stone pier and said, "The space in the pavilion is limited, so Wrong Ziyi just sit down here. Let's drink a few glasses of thin wine, and we'll be considered a real acquaintance."

"How dare the last general sit with the lord"

Tai Shici clasped his fists in humility, his many years of experience told him that he should not be present in front of outsiders, accepting the courteous treatment from the superior so calmly, it would appear that he has no rules.

Sun Quan then joked to Zhang Zhao and Yu Fan: "Zibu, Zhongxiang, you sit down first, otherwise Ziyi won't dare to sit down."

"only."

Zhang Zhao and Yu Fan sat down in response, and Tai Shici was not a cowardly person, so he sat down on Sun Quan's right side.

I saw four people sitting around the stone table, but they were all very reserved.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, Sun Quan smiled and told everyone about science: "You may not know that sitting together at a table is very popular in Hefei, especially in the homes of ordinary people. It does not take up space and facilitates family communication. Let's learn a lesson today, Zibu and Zhongxiang, let's clean up Ziyi together."

"only."

"The end will be ashamed."

After a few glasses of wine, Zhang Zhao, on behalf of Sun Quan, sternly told Tai Shici: "General Ziyi must be mentally prepared. The situation in Huainan is much more serious than that in Yuzhang. Cao Cao took away all the people in Lujiang. We only have In Liyang County, most of the army needs supplies from the rear;
But the general needn’t worry about this. Although the food and grass in Liyang are provided by Danyang County, if the supply is not in time, you can write to me directly. I will not only urge Danyang, but also dispatch support from Wu County. Will not let your soldiers go hungry. "

"Thank you, Chang Shi."

Tai Shici was so excited that he stood up and clasped his fists. He thought that as long as the army rations were guaranteed, he could guarantee the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and he could also wrestle with Long Xiang and Zhang Liao.

"Ziyi sit down and talk."

Sun Quan waved his hand to signal Tai Shici to sit down, and then said earnestly: "Huainan is the gateway to Jiangdong. To ensure sufficient supplies ahead is not only responsible to Ziyi, but also to the people of Jiangdong. But if there is a military conflict and you need help, you have to send someone there." Guangling is looking for the governor, Jiangdong's elite is in his hands."

Tai Shici nodded in reply: "The last general will write it down."

Zhang Zhao continued to add: "The rear supplies need to be dispatched. If the general can be self-sufficient at the front, it can save a lot of trouble, but the output of Liyang County cannot make the frontline soldiers self-sufficient, so after you arrive in Liyang, you can Start to take down Quanjiao and Fuling, when I recommended you as Liyang Lieutenant, I included Quanjiao and Fuling counties."

"The last general heard that Chen Lan occupies these two counties, and his army strength seems to be more than ten thousand. Based on the six thousand parts of the last general, I'm afraid it will take a certain amount of opportunity."

Tai Shici frowned, implying that he had few troops, and hoped that Sun Quan could send more troops.

Sun Quan didn't seem to understand, and continued following Tai Shici's topic:
"There should be opportunities. This year, there is a lot of rain in the Jianghuai River, especially in the mountains. In June alone, more than a dozen mountain torrents broke out in the south. The floods caused great damage to farms and fields. Fuling and Quanjiao counties Both sides are backed by mountains, and it is very likely to be taken care of by flash floods;

Chen Lan has a lot of songs and lacks food. Ziyi will use food and grass to lure him, and he will surely let this grass on the wall lean towards Jiangdong. At that time, we will use tactics to divide it. If we can digest this army, we will have the strength to reoccupy it. Lujiang. "

Tai Shici asked: "What if there are no floods in Quanjiao and Fuling counties?"

Sun Quan blurted out without hesitation: "Ziyi can have someone pretend to be a bandit, and then attack and destroy the crops in the two counties. At this time, the rice is ripe in July, and it's the harvest season. It's just time to show your skills."

"Destroy the rice fields? Is that okay?" Tai Shici frowned.

Sun Quan disagreed: "What's wrong with this? Last year I attacked Xiahou Dun, and this year Chen Lan went to get a certificate of honor. Didn't they all damage the Shouchun rice fields? As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit, and they can use any means."
