Han Xiang

Chapter 484

When Lu Meng talked about Long Xiang, he always frowned and looked dignified.

After observing, Ling Tong couldn't understand it. He thought that although Long Xiang had defended against Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, he couldn't get a single offensive record.
They only know how to defend, they don't think about progress, they don't expand their army when they have food and soldiers.
The stereotype accumulated over the years made Ling Tong even more curious about Long Xiang. He even took the initiative to ask Ying to meet him in Hefei, but was finally rejected by Lu Meng.

Ling Tong was young and vigorous, and Lu Meng worried that he would speak up in Hefei and do bad things.

The purpose this time was to capture Tai Shici. Lu Meng didn't want Ling Tong to cause trouble. After all, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would suffer. He was unwilling to provoke a man who managed Hefei in an orderly manner.

Sun Quan has agreed with Lu Meng's strategic policy, that is, to stop attacking Huainan in the north and encroach on Jingzhou in the west, making Hefei a strategic buffer between Sun and Cao, which is in the best interest of Jiangdong.

At the end of the first lunar month, the Jiangdong fleet entered Chaohu Lake and docked at the northwest location, which was very close to the location where Sun Quan and Long Xiang met.

Lu Meng immediately sent an envoy to Hefei, saying that Jiangdong's army returned from Jingzhou, and wanted to take advantage of the victory to take Shouchun, and said that the fleet would pass by Shishui in the near future.

Long Xiang only replied the three words 'I know', and asked someone to send the Jiangdong envoy out of Hefei.

The envoy thought about it all the way back to Chaohu Lake. He heard that the people who had been sent to Hefei before had been warmly treated by Long Xiang.

But what happened to Long Xiang today?Not to mention giving a gift for me to take away, I didn't even provide a sip of water.

knew?What kind of answer is that?
Long Xiang's answer not only puzzled the envoy, but even Lu Su didn't understand it.

So as soon as the envoy left, Lu Su walked up to Long Xiang and asked in a low voice, "What does 'I got it' mean? Is Yun Qi going to let Lu Meng go or not?"

Long Xiang spread his hands together: "We don't have a navy in Hefei, and Liu Fu's scout boats are all converted from fishing boats. Why don't you agree with Lu Meng?"

"then you."

"I know that these three words are very vague. Since I didn't give a clear opinion, I can use it as an excuse to turn against Jiangdong."

When Lu Su heard what a good guy he was, he thought to himself that you had this idea, so he smiled and reminded: "Isn't it a good excuse to use this? How can you wait for someone to pass before you say you don't agree? It's better to find another excuse."

"No need." Long Xiang shook his head and asked, "What qualifications does Lu Meng have to inform me?"

Lu Su blurted out: "Isn't he the governor of Jiangdong?"

"Someone told us? If it weren't for the information provided by Yao Xuan, Zijing probably wouldn't even know him."

Because Long Xiang came from time travel, he knew that Lu Meng would be the governor before anyone, including Lu Meng himself, but before Lu Meng succeeded Zhou Yu, he was just an unknown young general, and Lu Su didn't necessarily pay attention to him.

Sure enough, Lu Su nodded straight and understood Long Xiang's intentions, and then he affirmed with his beard: "Yun Qi chose this for a good reason. Lu Meng came to Hefei to show off his might. It is reasonable for us to react."

"Don't worry about Lu Meng now, Tai Shici has passed Hefei for two days, and it is estimated that he will arrive in Lu'an soon. We must start action as soon as possible, otherwise Tai Shici will run out of food and collapse."

"Ah."

Lu Su nodded in agreement: "I will immediately send Cao Sima to lead people to Jiangjunling. The tough battle will have to rely on General Xu's Tiger Guards."

"Zijing wants the Tiger Guards to take Shouchun? Li Dian, the guard in the city, is quite resourceful. Although Zhongkang is brave, he lacks flexibility. Although the strategy we have discussed these days is good, he is afraid that unexpected changes will not be easy for him to make decisions. The two of us There must be one to lead the army."

"Then I'll go."

"Zijing is still in Hefei for dispatching, and Zhongkang and I are still going to fetch Shouchun. Don't forget that I was Quhou under Yuan Shu's command, and I am relatively familiar with Shouchun City."

"I was the mayor of Yuan Shu's East City."

After Lu Su laughed and joked, his face changed drastically, and he said solemnly, "I'll go get Shouchun. If something happens to Taishi Ci, you can take care of it at any time. I don't have the confidence to persuade this person to surrender."

"Never mind."

Long Xiang no longer contended with Lu Su, but instead warned: "Zi Jing, be careful when you go, if Li Dian really can't be lured out, let's not take Shouchun for the time being, and we can just kill Cao Jun in Lu'an, it can be eliminated. Take your time, you can't become fat if you eat in one sitting."

"Don't worry, Yun Qi." Lu Su puffed his chest and responded with a smile: "Li Dian has a precedent of saving Zhang Liao, and this time he will definitely fall into my trap. If he can do nothing to save him, I will not fight recklessly."

Lu Su's chain plan is very complicated to implement, and the planner will personally command Long Xiang's 1 pieces to rest assured.

Considering that Xu Chu was not familiar with Shouchun, Lu Su had only been a county magistrate in Dongcheng, and Long Xiang sent Hao Meng to lead the way with the army.

The success of Lu Su's strategy depends on the cooperation of the captives in Jiangjunling. As a result, Ni Heng's trip was lucky, and he successfully said that 20 prisoners would be surrendered, which was a good start for capturing Shouchun.

With the advantage of the field of view of the telescope, Hefei New City is several miles away from Shishui, so the mobilization of soldiers and horses in the new city can easily hide Lu Meng from Chaohu Lake.

Of course, Lu Meng's focus at the moment was on Liyang.

Pan Zhang took dozens of carts of "dead branches and rotten leaves" to earn money in Liyang. Halfway through the journey, he was spotted by a scout on the west mountain with a telescope. Chen Lan sent a fast horse to Hefei to report, and at the same time assembled troops to follow the plan.

The plan Long Xiang gave was simple and rough, that is, if there was a military conflict in Liyang, Chen Lan would take advantage of the fire as a bandit and rob, but the real purpose was to protect the safety of Tai Shici and his family members.

Chen Lan knew that there were thousands of defenders in Liyang. As long as there was sufficient food and grass in the city, and the defenders were conscientious and confident, it would be no problem to block the attack of ten thousand people in a short time, not to mention that Pan Zhang only brought 3000 people with him.

But the result surprised Chen Lan. Pan Zhang really used dozens of carts of "dead branches and rotten leaves" to open the gate of the city.

Faced with the friendly army's "wine and meat rewards", many soldiers who stayed behind were shaken, and finally did not resist the temptation to open the city gate.

Fortunately, when Pan Zhang led his army into the city, the tricks on those cars were discovered.

The dead branches and rotten leaves on the car are too light, making the marks left by the ruts very shallow.

The suspicious Tai Shixiang ordered the friendly troops to stop entering the city, but how could Pan Zhang be obedient?A fierce battle soon broke out between the two sides.

Liyang's defenders and Pan Zhang's soldiers were equal in combat effectiveness, but the attacker's strength was three times that of the defender's. Tai Shixiang was defeated steadily and had to rely on familiar terrain to start street fighting.

Pan Zhang made people shout for Taishici to rebel. Except for Taishici's followers and family members in the city, the original people in Liyang didn't know which side to believe.

In less than two hours, half of Liyang's garrison had been lost, and the remaining soldiers fought against trapped beasts.

Pan Zhang thought he had the chance to win, but unexpectedly, someone followed behind and became the oriole.

Chen Lan led 5000 people into Liyang, and Pan Zhang's soldiers and horses happened to be filled with biscuits.

The rear army cut down the tsunami at the sight of anyone, catching the former army by surprise and panicking. Pan Zhang stood on a high place and saw that Chen Lan had many soldiers, so he had to lead his troops to break through from the nearby city gate with hatred.

After breaking out of the siege and counting the number of people, Pan Zhang found that less than a thousand people had escaped, and his general Ma Zhong was nowhere to be seen.
