Han Xiang

Chapter 490

The reason Tai Shixiang panicked was because he didn't know Chen Lan's backstage, and mistakenly thought that the other party wanted to toughen up Jiangdong.

It is no problem to deal with thousands of people outside the city. If Lu Mengzhen sent an army of tens of thousands to besiege, the small Liyang City would definitely not be able to stop it.

In order to surrender Tai Shici, Long Xiang ordered Chen Lan not to reveal his identity to the outside world, so at this time he was still an independent warlord.

Liyang City is close to the Yangtze River, so you can see the situation along the river without binoculars.

Seeing a warship moving, Tai Shixiang hurriedly found Chen Lan and reminded him: "General Chen, why are you in no hurry? There was a warship mobilization by the river just now, so it must be Lu Meng who sent reinforcements. Liyang City can't stand the trouble. You'd better find a way to get help."

Chen Lan turned around and asked meaningfully, "Do you have any suggestions, Young Master?"

Tai Shixiang said seriously: "Quanjiao and Fuling border Guangling. If Lu Fan leads troops to attack from the east, the general will not be able to look at each other head to tail. If the general intends to make an enemy of Jiangdong, it is best not to fight alone. Huainan has Cao Cao, Long There are two major forces, you must unite with at least one of them."

"It makes sense, who do you think is better to unite?" Chen Lan turned her head and asked.

Tai Shixiang was noncommittal, and calmly analyzed: "Hefei is closer to Liyang. General Long is eager for justice and has helped my father before. He is a friendly person, but his strength is relatively weak, and he may not dare to be an enemy of Jiangdong. ; Zhang Liao guards Huainan for Cao Cao, but he can be used to fighting, it depends on how General Chen chooses."

"Hahaha."

Chen Lan stroked her beard and laughed loudly: "I once destroyed Cao Jun's rice fields, so going to Zhang Liao for help is not a sheep's mouth? Long Yunqi and I used to have a comrade-in-arms friendship, and I would choose him even if I closed my eyes. As for whether he dares It is yet to be known whether Jiangdong is an enemy."

"It is rumored that General Long has no ambitions." Tai Shixiang stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.

"Whether you have great ambitions, how will outsiders know?"

Chen Lan smiled leisurely, and added: "Young master, don't worry, I have long wanted to go to Hefei. Before Lu Mengbing arrived in Liyang, I sent someone to Hefei secretly. I believe General Long will intervene."

"I see."

Tai Shixiang suddenly realized, his hanging heart was a little more stable, and he suddenly asked curiously: "Since General Chen has the intention to invest in Hefei, why didn't he vote sooner or later, and why did he come to the muddy water of Liyang?"

Chen Lan explained: "Young Master is still young. Even though General Long and I were comrades, how can anyone attach to him empty-handed? You have to get a certificate to send it. Didn't this happen by chance? Take an extra Liyang More sincerity."

"Would you vote for a certificate?"

Tai Shixiang was taken aback when he heard that, he once said by Tai Shici that before Chen Lan wanted to vote in Jiangdong, he had spent all his time preparing for the vote, but he did not expect that he is still like this now, he is really a principled person.

Thinking that Liyang has been occupied by Chen Lan and Jiangdong has no place for his father and son, Tai Shixiang sighed and pleaded with Chen Lan: "My father was tricked by Lu Meng to fight in Liu'an. Since the general voted Li Yang as a certificate, can you ask General Long for favors on my behalf? Please General Long send troops to rescue my father, and my father and son are also willing to vote under his command."

"Young master, are you serious?"

Chen Lan suppressed the joy in her heart, frowned and asked Tai Shixiang: "It is rumored that your father has a strong temper, and I am afraid that he would rather die than serve as the second master. General Long's lintel is not high, is he really willing to give in?"

Tai Shixiang shook his head and smiled wryly: "Although my father is talented, he has never been entrusted to others in the first half of his life. Although General Long's background is not high, he can treat people sincerely. My father and son have fallen to this point, so what are we talking about? After the famous general Long Qi, it is not wronged my father."

"In that case, I will pass it on for you, but"

Chen Lan changed the subject, and showed embarrassment again: "It's no problem for me to send someone to pass on the message, but after all, what I say is useless. You'd better write a letter."

"Okay, I will immediately write a letter to General Long to show my father and son's feelings."

Tai Shixiang turned around and wanted to leave after finishing speaking, Chen Lan hurriedly stopped him and reminded: "Young master, wait a minute, you want General Long to send troops to rescue your father, you should write a letter to your father to express your heart, not to General Long."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Tai Shixiang nodded straightly: "If General Chen hadn't reminded me, I would have almost missed a major event."

"Hehe, I am eager to save my father, Chen can understand."

Chen Lan stroked her beard benevolently, and said in her heart that with Tai Shixiang's letter, it would be easier for General Long.

Watching Tai Shixiang walk down the city wall, Chen Lan glanced at the warships by the river, and then sneered disdainfully.

In the two days of defending the city, Chen Lan saw through many things.

The bandit soldiers who used to follow him to rob houses have been completely reborn after intensive training by Lu Su.

Facing Lu Meng's elite siege, he was not afraid at all, and even had a slight upper hand in the fight, so what's so scary about the Jiangdong rats?There are even more powerful Tiger Guards in Hefei.

When Lu Meng moved from Chaohu to Liyang, Lei Xu who was stationed in Junqiu also moved.

On the afternoon of the second day after the siege of Liyang, Lei Xu led 5000 troops to Quanjiao and stationed at the col at the junction of Liyang and Quanjiao, ready to go south in the name of Chen Lan at any time, so Tai Shixiang's worries did not exist at all.

Regardless of whether Lu Fan attacked Quanjiao and Fuling from Guangling, or Lu Meng dispatched troops from other places to Liyang to join the battle, Chen Lan had Lei Xu as a new force and the food and grass support from Hefei in the rear.

Chen Lan firmly believes in only defending but not attacking, so there is no problem in persisting for a month.

Once Long Xiang and Lu Su free up their hands, even Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are deflated, and it is not easy to clean up mere Lu Meng?
Tai Shixiang wrote a good letter to his family, and Chen Lan sent a fast horse to detour from Quanjiao, and sent it to Hefei in two or three days.

Long Xiang received the letter as if he had found a treasure, so he left Feng Zhong and Tang Yu to guard the old and new Hefei, and took Xu Ding, Cao Xing, Qin Yilu and other generals, and led [-] troops to Lu'an.

At the end of the first month, Zhang Liao sent troops to pursue Tai Shici, and Long Xiang took advantage of the emptiness of Lu'an to easily capture the city.

Long Xiang did not stop after capturing the city, and then led his troops to follow and marched north. He followed the marks on the ground first north and then east.

Two days later, southeast of Shaopi, on the bank of Feishui.

Zhang Liao defeated Taishi Ci several times in a row by virtue of his large number of soldiers and food supplies. At this time, he drove the thousand remnants of Liyang to the west bank of Feishui River, and he seemed to be gathering and annihilating them.

Tai Shici had been beaten into a daze these days. He evacuated to Shaopi voluntarily in a state of food shortage, and encountered thousands of disheveled deserters on the way.

The deserters ran towards Tai Shici's army like frightened wildebeest.

Tai Shici had no choice but to fight. He didn't know that there was a group of "shepherds" behind him, who were sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fighting with binoculars.

Although the soldiers enjoyed chopping melons and vegetables, they were caught up in the chaos of the war and Zhang Liao caught up with them.

Tai Shici won first and then lost in the melee, so he had to retreat towards Feishui, but Zhang Liao pursued like a mad dog, losing hundreds of people every time he was caught up.

The reason why Zhang Liao was crazy was because Li Dian learned that Li Dian was ambushed and killed in battle from Li Dian's surviving trilogy.

And those few trilogy were so cold that they didn't know who the enemy was at that time, so they didn't describe clearly, so Zhang Liao preconceived that it was Tai Shici.

It's no wonder that the gods playing tricks in the sixth installment turned out to be plotting against Li Mancheng.

Although Li Dian was at odds with Zhang Liao, if Zhang Liao didn't behave well at this time, there was no guarantee that Cao Cao would not punish him.

Tai Shici was forced to the riverside and had nowhere to go, so he called the deputy general Zhao Fan to his side, and said: "This guy Zhang Liao is crazy, I will rush over and hold him back, even if he is going to die, I have to pull out a layer of him. Pi, you should find a way to break out of the encirclement, if you want to go to Governor Zhao in the future, please take your dog Yuanfu with you."

"General, let's go together."

Zhao Fan shook his head straight after hearing this, he knew that Tai Shici had the intention of killing himself.
