Han Xiang

Chapter 482 Xu Chu Takes General Ridge Lightly

"Time is running out now, and Zijing is in a hurry to come up with a perfect plan. I can accept paying a price, but Taishi Ziyi must be saved. Having him as an example for Jiangdong soldiers will be of great help to us in taking Jiangdong."

"Tai Shici is brave and good at fighting. If Zhang Liao and Li Dian want to get rid of his trilogy, I'm afraid it will take some twists and turns. I suggest to let them spend it first, and wait until Liyang's soldiers and horses are almost gone, then recover Tai Shici and get twice the result with half the effort. It will be hard to deal with Sun Quan if he is still wholeheartedly attached to him."

After listening to Lu Su's suggestion, Long Xiang shook his head without hesitation, then frowned and said seriously: "There are not many generals available in Hefei, I really want to accept him for the envoy, but I deliberately wait until both sides are hurt, and Tai Shici is cornered before making a move. This behavior is a bit disgraceful, what if Tai Shici is defeated and captured, or voted for Cao Cao?"

"Yun Qi means" Lu Su hesitated to speak.

Long Xiang replied: "The weak point of Zhang Liao's formation of this pocket formation is on the Jiangjun Ridge. I plan to immediately send a team to take this place quietly with a telescope. When the Jiangjun Ridge is under our control, I want to save Tai Shi. Isn't it much easier to be kind?"

"It's a good idea."

Lu Su twirled his beard and nodded lightly, then paced back and forth several times on the spot, with a happy expression on his face when he stopped.

"Perhaps taking Shouchun by chance, the breaking point is on Jiangjun Ridge."

Long Xiang questioned with blank eyes: "How do you say?"

Lu Su replied: "The sentry tower on Jiangjun Ridge is inconvenient to go up and down. I guess the officers and soldiers on the ridge usually use flags to convey information. At that time, as long as a few people are caught asking for the flag language, they can mislead Zhang Liao and Li Dian."

"Good plan, good plan." Long Xiang gave Lu Su a thumbs up.

Lu Su replied modestly: "This is just an idea, and the specific tactics will take time to think about."

Long Xiang waved lightly: "Go and spend time as soon as possible, and I will mobilize people to take Jiangjunling."

"Who is Yun Qi going to let go?"

Lu Su first thought of Xu Chu, the core members of the Tiger Guard Army were all swordsmen with outstanding martial arts skills, and Ren Xia swordsmen can often achieve twice the result with half the effort in this kind of surprise attack.

"It must be Xu Zhongkang."

Long Xiang's answer was as expected by Lu Su, but he only guessed half of the answer, because Long Xiang immediately added: "I plan to ask Zhongkang to bring you Zhengping along."

Lu Su knew his intention after thinking about it for a while, and Ni Heng's ability is not only capable of scolding others, but his quick thinking and eloquence is second to none in the world, and this specialty is also useful when used against small soldiers.

Thinking that Jiangjunling could break the situation perfectly, Lu Su's mood also became better. He shook his robe and bid farewell to Long Xiang.

"It's not too late, I'll take my leave first, everyone go to work on their own, and we'll meet again when we have news about Cao Xing."

"I won't keep you today, Zijing will go on his own."

Long Xiang raised his sleeves and stretched forward, making a gesture of seeing off Lu Su.

The two of them were about to walk out, when Lu Su stopped suddenly just as he was stepping down the steps, Long Xiang stopped and turned to look over curiously.

"what happened?"

"Yun Qi remembers to tell General Xu to use Chen Lan's name to act. If something happens on the way to seize the mountain, we will have something to say to Zhang Liao."

"Cao Jun hates Chen Lan so much, he's about to turn the table with Cao thief, and Zijing plans to use him to impress him? But it's appropriate."

After Long Xiang responded with a smile, he told Lu Su: "Speaking of Chen Lan, his sentry tower is also equipped with binoculars, let him pay more attention to Liyang's movements, and the family members of Tai Shici's department are all there, so beware Sun Quan used insidious tricks to take hostages."

"Zhang Liao has recruited new soldiers this year. He and Li Dian have a combined force of more than [-] troops. Even if they use tricks, they will have to fight head-to-head. If Tai Shici leads troops to the north, won't Yun Qi transfer Chen Lan to help in the battle? That's not right."

Lu Su was originally asking Long Xiang, but at the end of the sentence he denied himself, and shook his head and said to himself: "It is better for Chen Lan's soldiers to stay in the garrison. Once we tear ourselves apart with Sun Quan, there is no guarantee that he will not transfer Lu Fan to fight from Guangling." come over."

"Guangling Lu Fan?" Long Xiang shook his head disapprovingly, and said with a smile, "Zijing forgot Chen Yuanlong from the East City? He will help me contain the Guangling soldiers."

Lu Su said to him, "Even so, you should write a letter to remind him."

Huainan has been relatively peaceful for the past year, so Long Xiang kept his promise to the Chen family, and arranged Qiao Ni to marry Chen Denggang and Ji's daughter, and Chen Deng and Long Xiang had indirect kinship.

Lu Su believed that Chen Deng was repaying Hua Tuo for saving his life, and he would not necessarily help Long Xiang in the military. After all, Xuzhou was controlled by Cao Cao in name.

"Zijing don't have to worry, I care about myself."

Long Xiang just shook his head lightly. Lu Su didn't know that the two had agreed that they would work together at critical moments. Long Xiang believed that Chen Deng would remember it.

Chen Deng guessed the relationship between Long Xiang and Liu Bei, the Chen family in Xuzhou and the Sun family in Jiangdong had always been at odds, any reason could make Chen Deng keep a close eye on Lu Fan.

After Lu Su left the prefect's mansion, Long Xiang immediately summoned Xu Chu and Mi Heng to give advice.

Xu Chu obeyed as always, and Mi Heng, who made Long Xiang uncertain, also looked happy.

After all, Mi Heng is a emaciated civil servant who has never been recruited before, and now it is the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair.

Mi Heng is not interested in fighting with the army, but he is very much looking forward to making trouble for Cao Cao. He bluntly said on the spot that no matter who makes trouble for Cao Cao, he will help out with his own mouth.

There were [-] Cao soldiers defending Jiangjun Ridge. Xu Chu selected [-] elite swordsmen for this purpose, and first took advantage of the night to hide at the foot of the mountain. position climbing.

The eight hundred swordsmen are all highly skilled in martial arts, and they are faster than ordinary soldiers in crossing mountains and ridges. With the help of the vision of the binoculars, they avoided the patrols of Cao soldiers along the way.

In winter, the days are short and dusk comes quickly.

There was a sudden noise on the quiet mountain top, and the tiger guards who were dormant near several sentry towers first used bows, arrows, throwing knives, stones, etc. to knock down all the guards outside, and then flashed out like a tiger out of the gate.

Clinking and clanging, the fight lasted less than half an hour.

Five hundred defenders died 220, wounded 250, and dozens of others voluntarily surrendered. Eight hundred tiger guards were slightly injured, and Xu Chu easily captured Jiangjunling.

Tai Shici said that the border crossing was imminent, and the captives and soldiers could not be transferred in time, so Ni Heng did "ideological work" on the spot, and Xu Chu sent people to Hefei at the same time to report victory.

On the day when Xu Chu's soldiers returned to Feifei, Cao Xing's scouts also returned from the Lujiang River. They found hundreds of Jiangdong warships, and the main ship had a big flag with the word Lu on it.

Lu Meng took over the post of governor in Chaisang, and Sun Quan had not had time to bring him to meet the Jiangdong officials, but the news had already been sent back to Wujun by the grain ship.

Long Xiang also learned about the uproar in Wu County through the intelligence station.

Long Xiang didn't have a good impression of Lu Meng, and thought that Sun Quan would let him succeed him, which meant that Lu Meng was his confidant.

Thinking of crossing the river in white clothes in history, and thinking of the death of the second master because of it, Long Xiang couldn't help frowning, thinking that he would tear himself apart from Sun Quan in the future, and he would definitely ravage this Wuxia Amon.

One thing Long Xiang didn't know was that when Sun Ce sent Deng Dang to sneak into Hefei to make trouble, Lu Meng actually followed Deng Dang, and he moved bricks in Hefei for a few months.
