Han Xiang

Chapter 481

Faced with Sun Quan's 'emergency response', Long Xiang, who secretly pushes the waves, has a heart like a mirror.

Sending away Zhao Fan who came to ask for help, Long Xiang put down other important matters at hand, gathered with Lu Su in the front hall of the prefect's mansion, and studied the situation in Huainan with a map.

Long Xiang pointed to the location of Jiangjun Ridge and said to himself: "Taishi Ziyi asked me to excuse him, and found a reason to avenge Zhang Liao and Li Dian's joint attack, but Li Yang only has three or four thousand soldiers, even if he goes around the enemy's rear, he can for what?
It was freezing cold in the first month, and it was impossible to harass the crops in the fields, not to mention that Zhang Liao and Li Dian had cities to rely on, and Lu'an and Shouchun had more defenders than Liyang. Before Tai Shici, he almost couldn't eat. What medicine did you give him?Now he is willing to die willingly.”

Lu Su said to him: "No matter what excuses Sun Quan uses, Yao Xuan made people praise Sun Yi in Wu Jun. With Sun Quan's character, he must be suspicious, and Tai Shici will naturally suffer from unreasonable disasters. We have been planning for a long time, so we are waiting for this day? This time There is a chance to take him."

"It would be great if we could figure out Sun Quan's plan, so we can make the best use of the situation and find a way to deal with it." Long Xiang shook his head and sighed.

Lu Su had to analyze: "Tai Shici's trilogy is not many, but he dared to send troops so recklessly, he must have something to rely on, I guess there must be a heavy army behind him."

"It makes sense."

Long Xiang nodded affirmatively, and continued to add: "Last year we used tricks to lure Tai Shici to send troops. Maybe Sun Quan will follow suit this time. I guess he won't follow up in time. He wants to use Zhang Liao's knife to kill people."

"Jiangdong's main force should have fought in Jingzhou. If they moved thousands of miles away to gnaw Zhang Liao's hard bone, it would not be worth the loss. Perhaps it was to trick Tai Shici. I have sent Cao Xing to investigate along the Lujiang River, but I don't know how much Sun Quan invested." Lu Suyi The face is dignified.

"Ha ha."

Long Xiang said with a disdainful smile: "Sun Quan may be just bluffing. This movement of troops for thousands of miles will consume a lot of military supplies. Jiangdong's soldiers have been fighting in Jingzhou for several months. Sun Quan even cut Taishi Ziyi's supplies. How much food and grass does Jiangdong have to waste?" "

"It's hard to say. Tai Shici is not an ordinary man. If he doesn't have enough confidence, he will definitely not take risks. We should wait for Cao Xing's definite information and focus on the north."

After Lu Su finished speaking, he took a step forward and pointed at Jiangjun Ridge, and said seriously: "Jiangjun Ridge sentry tower is condescending, Tai Shici will either march at night or pull out the stronghold on the mountain, but I guess his soldiers will choose to detour, and Jiangdong's follow-up troops Obviously they won't follow up, Cao Bing on the mountain has the advantage of vision, Tai Shici is going to go to the tiger's mouth, how does Yun Qi plan to save him?"

"How to save? Isn't it just sending troops?"

Long Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and then took it for granted.

"What's the reason?" Lu Su reminded with a worried expression on his face, "Last time, Zhang Liao and Li Dian broke into Hefei for a reason. If Tai Shici falls into Zhang Liao's trap, we can only enter the sphere of influence of Cao Jun. This time it is our turn." Sorry."

"Reason?" Long Xiang's face suddenly became serious, he clenched his fist and shook it, and said in a deep voice, "Whoever has a hard fist is right, we have worked hard to train soldiers, isn't it just for this day? We don't care about other places, but here This Huainan border, why am I arrogant?"

Lu Su was so startled that he waved his hands and urged anxiously: "No, if we accept Tai Shici, we will offend Sun Quan. If we offend Cao Cao again unreasonably, I'm afraid it will not end. Yun Qi has always been known for being cautious. Why did he do this this time?" So radical? Then what is the charm of Tai Shici?"

Long Xiang smiled awkwardly, and explained seriously: "Zijing has a misunderstanding. I decided to attack Cao Jun in Huainan, not just to help Tai Shici. Now that Yuan Shao has died of illness and Hebei is in chaos, Cao Cao is in a hurry to attack and take advantage of the fire. He must not take care of Huainan." Chaos."

"And then?" Lu Su's face was full of bitterness, and he frowned to remind Long Xiang: "When Cao Cao takes the land of Hebei, he will have more than [-] armors by then? There must be plenty of money and food. What will you do to stop it then?"

Long Xiang remembered that Cao Cao in history took several years to occupy Hebei after the Battle of Guandu. Although Yuan Shao's sons were not successful, Hebei had a deeper heritage than the Central Plains.

If the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang hadn't turned against each other for power, Cao Cao's time to pacify the north would have lagged behind.

Long Xiang had historical experience as a reference, and then smiled at Lu Su.

"No matter how chaotic Hebei is, he won't sit still. Cao Cao didn't pacify the north so quickly, but when he took advantage of the situation, do you think the Shijun would take advantage of it? There was no movement in the west city during this period, so it should be for the sake of Prepare for a sneak attack on Guanzhong."

"Yun Qi means to help the emperor to contain him?"

"That's right. At that time, it will depend on how Cao Cao chooses. In short, there are only three paths in front of him. One is to stop regaining the north and go south to stop it.

"The first two roads are very low-end. Cao Cao should choose the third. Even if there are not many reinforcements going south, it will be difficult to deal with Cao's bravery. It should not be a big problem to hold Hefei. He is afraid that we will be held back by war. It will be troublesome for Cao Cao to completely pacify the north."

Lu Su's face was solemn while he was speaking, Long Xiang leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Since we have decided to offend Cao Cao, then we should offend him to the death, and take this opportunity of rescuing Tai Shici, I can either drive Zhang Liao and Li Dian out of Huainan, or wipe them out completely, if Liu Fu is allowed to continue farming in Shaopi, Cao Jun will take root in Huainan."

"Yun Qi wants to play Shou Chun?" Lu Su looked surprised.

Long Xiang nodded affirmatively: "If you want to seek Sun Quan's Jiangdong, relying on Hefei alone is not enough. If you occupy the entire Huainan, you can use your wrists. If you take Shouchun, you can get a lot of people, and then use cement and bricks to strengthen the city walls. Shouchun is specially used to defend Cao's army, and the fertile plain south of Shouchun is our Tuntian area."

"So you thought so."

Lu Su nodded slightly, and asked again: "Not to mention when Cao Cao will reinforce, if Yun Qi takes Tai Shici under his command, Sun Quan will definitely not let it go. When the north and south are attacked at the same time, how sure are you that you can repel them? Don't forget In order to capture Jiangxia and kill Huangzu, the fighting strength of Jiangdong's main force is not weak."

"Not weak? Not necessarily."

Long Xiang said in his heart that I can't even beat Sun Shiwan, so why talk about replacing Sun's occupation of Jiangdong?Find a piece of tofu as soon as possible and kill him.

"Sun Ce and Zhou Yu came to attack at the same time, didn't they also escape in desperation? As long as we don't fight water battles with these guys, we can rest easy."

"Well, that's right."

Lu Su nodded with his beard: "I advised you like this last time, don't compete with the enemy for your strengths. Your strength is defending the city. It's just that too many things are mixed up this time. I have to come up with a perfect plan."

"By the way, there is one thing I almost forgot. Since we have decided to offend Cao Sun at the same time, we have set up an intelligence station behind the enemy's rear, and we must move from the open to the dark as soon as possible. I will send someone to inform Luo Yicheng. Kindly let me know."

"Okay, Yun Qi is thoughtful. They have accumulated a lot of contacts in the past two years, and they can collect information even if they go to the dark."
