Han Xiang

Chapter 473

Seeing Long Xiang's serious face, Lu Su realized that the other party was not joking.

"I didn't hear that Gongjin was seriously ill, and now he's gone at a young age, and I don't know if there will be turmoil in Jiangdong, even Yunqi didn't think about it, right?"

"out of my expectation."

Long Xiang understood what Lu Su meant, he quickly shook his head in denial, saying to himself that I could predict Sun Ce's early death, but I couldn't be sure when Zhou Lang would be away.

After all, his own appearance has brought about major changes in the historical pattern.

Cao Cao delayed the time to unify the north, and Liu Bei changed his plan to divide the world into three parts. There is a high probability that the Battle of Chibi will not happen.

Since the Battle of Chibi may not be possible, what is the meaning of Zhou Yu's existence in this plane?
Long Xiang remembered that Zhou Yu and Cao Ren fought for the South County in history, and finally got injured by an arrow and passed away inexplicably, but it was really surprising that he died so early.

Lu Su nodded and said: "Gongjin's talent is the best in Jiangdong. His death is a loss to Sun Quan, but it will help us in our pursuit of Jiangdong. From then on, Hefei will have one less powerful enemy. Now that Jiangdong is out of command, the interior must be chaotic. I can make excuses." Having friendship with Gong Jin, crossing the river to hang Xiao Xiao to find out the truth and make preparations for sending troops in the future."

"No need."

Long Xiang shook his head and explained: "Zijing doesn't know something. Jiangdong is not in chaos at the moment. Sun Quan personally rushed to Chaisang and asked the rear to continue to allocate food and grass. I guess there is something new."

After listening, Lu Su twirled his beard and analyzed: "A few days ago, Yao Xuan said that Gongjin returned to Wu, and he was preparing food and grass in various places. It seems that Jiangdong's military operations have been planned for a long time. I heard that Jingzhou was hit by floods last month. I'm afraid they will still attack Jiang Xia."

Hearing this, Long Xiang suddenly frowned and asked, "Do you think Zhou Yu will cheat death?"

"Why do you want to fake death?" Lu Su looked puzzled.

Long Xiang said to him, "If Shanyue hadn't made a collective rebellion last year, Shaxian City might have been destroyed, Zhou Lang might be paralyzing Huangzu?"

"It makes sense."

Lu Su nodded affirmatively: "The more Jiangdong uses troops against Jingzhou, the more beneficial it is for us. Once the Yangtze River defense line is stretched, it will be more conducive for us to fight to the other side."

Long Xiang shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's too late to take Jiangdong with the power of Hefei, and Tai Shici is guarding Liyang. We can't build warships and train navy in Chaohu Lake. Once Zhou Yu leads the navy to cut off the retreat , those who cross the river cannot return it.”

Lu Su echoed: "So your previous plan was very good. First find a way to win Tai Shici, and then the order of breaking with Jiangdong cannot be changed."

"Ugh"

Long Xiang sighed: "Although Zhao Fan has a good impression of us, Tai Shici still doesn't want to get in touch with him, and the emperor and the military adviser don't let us make trouble, and there is no way to attract Zhang Liao to fight with him, so we can't do anything." It is a way to benefit the fisherman, unless Sun Quan treats him poorly and creates a rift, it will be difficult to achieve this."

Lu Su smiled and comforted: "Don't be discouraged, Yun Qi, I believe you have good luck, what if Gong Jin really dies suddenly?"

"Even if Zhou Lang is really not here, the current Jiangdong navy is very strong. I'm afraid that the world will have a difficult opponent. If I don't solve this problem, I won't be able to make up my mind to fight across the river." Long Xiang kept his serious expression.

Lu Su stroked his beard and thought for a while, then suddenly he had an idea: "Since the Jiangdong Navy is invincible, why should Yun Qi compete with them? We should give full play to our own advantages."

"Our advantage? That is to defend the city, but the city wall cannot be moved."

Thinking of this, Long Xiang shook his head, thinking that it would be easier if he played a game, I can use the tactics of stacking forts, the problem in the real world is much more complicated than the game.

Lu Su smiled and said: "Our advantage is not limited to defending the city? Although the combat power on land is not as good as Cao's army, it is not weaker than Jiangdong's cavalry, especially General Xu's Tiger Guard."

Last year, after the fight between Zhang Liao and Tai Shici ended, Long Xiang reorganized and expanded the five battalions under his command into six armies. However, in order to prevent the blind expansion from causing too much burden on Hefei, he directly gave fewer quotas for military expansion.

Mostly, the battalions were separated first, and then reorganized and merged into a new army.

Chen Lan's trilogy was divided into two, and he and Lei Xu served as generals respectively; the strength of the original city defense battalion remained unchanged, and the specifications were directly upgraded to the city defense army. Feng Zhong and Tang Yu served as generals in the old and new cities respectively; Xu Chu, Cao Xing, and Liu Fu combined into one army; only Xu Chu's Tiger Guard battalion was expanded to 5000 people, and then formed an army of its own called the Tiger Guard Army.

Long Xiang has been in Huainan these years, and has set up a narrow-sighted and unwilling to expand, so even if there is an offensive force of 2, neighbors Zhang Liao and Tai Shici don't know it.

Speaking of the Tiger Guards, Long Xiang is proud.

Based on the more than a thousand pieces brought out by Xu Chu, it is no problem to train a strong team. Xu Chu once fought hard against Han Hao outside Xu's village. Combat power will always be maintained.

It's just that Hefei has few war horses and no warships, so Long Xiang feels that it is not enough to rely on the Tiger Guards alone.

Seeing Long Xiang frowning in thought, Lu Su couldn't help reminding: "Yun Qi, you forgot that we have binoculars? Even fighting in the wild has a great advantage. Jiangdong has more troops than us in total, but their combat power is not as strong as ours." Compliments, as long as I lead them to fight on land, I am still very confident of winning."

"It's good for Zijing to have confidence." Long Xiang nodded and asked: "I'm good at commanding thousands of people, but I'm not good at commanding too many people. The key is how to lure the enemy ashore?"

Lu Su smiled and said: "I don't know how to talk about wars on paper. I can only adapt to local conditions and current conditions, and then use strategies and tactics. In short, we must first understand the situation in Jiangdong."

"Alright, let Yao Xuan continue to inquire. If Zhou Yu really dies suddenly, the people he secretly developed in the past two years can gradually be used." Long Xiang thoughtfully.

Lu Su nodded in agreement: "Taking advantage of Jiangdong's internal and external troubles, Yunqi will surely make great achievements. When the emperor's uncle captures Guanzhong, we will echo each other in Yangzhou, and there is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty."

Long Xiangxin said that Liu Bei invited Kong Ming in advance, and I helped contain Cao Cao in Huainan, and the success rate of revitalizing the Han Dynasty was greatly improved.

According to the current situation, Zhuge Liang made a strategy of first occupying Handong and then taking Guanzhong. Now it is slowly implementing according to the plan. It can be seen that his vision and strategy are higher than those of Lu Su, Liu Ye, and Xu Shu.

Two months ago, Long Xiang asked Xu Wei to secretly send the telescope, which should be the icing on the cake. Now his attention is all on Jiangdong.

No matter in terms of population, military strength, and generals, Hefei's size is much smaller than Jiangdong's. He can't have no worries like Sun Ce, and lead his troops to crush and sweep all the way.

Hefei has his family members, as well as his own wife and children, so as long as the conditions are not mature enough, Long Xiang will never easily break with Sun Quan.

At the end of July, when Jiangdong was besieging Sha Xian with heavy troops, Yao Xuan sent news of Zhou Yu's burial, and also brought a piece of good news to Long Xiang.
