Han Xiang

Chapter 510: Having a Child Should Be Like Sun Zhongmou

Everyone in the tent was stunned when they heard this, but Guo Jia was young enough to react quickly, and asked, "Wenhe wants to use officials and nobles as bait to lure Sun Quan to attack Hefei? Sun Quan and Ma Teng are not the same."

"No."

Jia Xu cupped his hands at Guo Jia and explained: "The situation in Jianghuai and Yongliang is different. Sun Quan is already the lord of Jiangdong, and he also attacked Sun Ce's Marquis Wu. The family has turned against each other, we just need to add fire."

"Add fire? Where to add it? Huainan?"

As soon as Guo Jia's barrage of questions was over, Jia Xu nodded in affirmation and said, "Yes, didn't Long Xiang use General Zhang to coerce him into pretending to be Tai Shici as the prefect of Jiujiang? The Duke of Ming can easily agree to it, and then give Long Xiang a reward." General, temporarily recognize him as the Lord of Huainan, do you think Sun Quan will bear it?"

"This"

"Of course not."

Liu Fu interrupted Guo Jia and raised his hand to add: "I met Xun Lingjun in Xudu, and I didn't know that Sun Quan beheaded Huangzu, captured Jiangxia, and even tried to capture Jiangling, an important town in Jingzhou. This shows that this person will take revenge and is very ambitious."

"Well, we have just received information about what happened in Jingzhou. We should have children like Sun Zhongmou."

Cao Cao nodded, sighed, and said to himself, "Sun Quan is full of blood. If I use gentle tactics, how can he endure it? And Long Xiang is good at defending the city. I really expect them to fight each other. Wonderful. Wonderful."

Guo Jia happily spoke up: "If Longxiang and Sun Quan are in trouble, Jianghuai will be in war for a long time, which will be of great benefit to Minggong's future southward travel. This matter can be settled together today, so that Yuanying (Liu Fu) Pass it back."

"Scheming is easy, but this is the general's name." Xun You looked at Jia Xu and hesitated to speak.

Jia Xu looked at Cao Cao and said, "It's best to have a direction, and the specific choice is entirely up to Minggong."

"Something to point to?"

Cao Cao frowned and rubbed his temples, suddenly a flash of inspiration jumped into his mind, he patted the desk and smiled, "Everyone, how about General Feng Longxiang Polu?"

Everyone was startled when they heard this, thinking that you are not playing a prank, are you?Sun Jian's title of general was Polu, and the canonization of Sun Quan was changed to begging for prisoners in order to make a difference. If the imperial court gave this title to Long Xiang, wouldn't it be a public insult to Sun Quan?

After a short period of silence in the big tent, Xun You cupped his hands and asked, "Ming Gong, Polu is Sun Jian's general number. Before that, he was named Captain Longxiang Huaixin, which is similar to Captain Sun Ce Huaiyi. If you now grant Longxiang Polu General, why don't you make him Sun Quan's brother first, and then let him be Sun Quan's father?"

"Can't you?"

Cao Cao also hesitated. The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. He was just joking just now, but now thinking about it, he feels inappropriate.

Seeing this, Jia Xu cupped his hands and remonstrated: "I think this title is appropriate. General Polu is not exclusive to Sun Jian. If Sun Quan himself takes the title, and it is an imperial edict, what does it have to do with Ming Gong?"

"Haha, well said."

Cao Cao clapped his palms to praise him, and then joked: "Dong Zhuo's Polu general was canonized before Sun Jian. Sun Quan can't use his title as his father, right? Dong Zhuo also regarded as his father?"

Xu You offered a plan to Yancheng, which was originally beautiful, but it was overshadowed by two bad things in Huainan and Chang'an, which made Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others climb to the top again.

Seeing that Cao Cao likes bad things so much, Xu You boldly agreed and said: "What Duke Ming said is very true. It is often said that an elder brother is like a father. I heard that Long Xiang is slightly older than Sun Quan. Even if Sun Quan treats him like a father, I don't think there is anything wrong with it." .”

"Ziyuan also thinks so?" Cao Cao looked at Xu You in surprise.

Seeing everyone's eyes turned back to him, Xu You cleared his throat and said seriously: "I thought that even if Sun Quan didn't think so, Minggong should write a special letter about him and send someone to Jiangdong to interpret the meaning of General Polu. I don't believe it." Sun Quan can bear it."

"Very good, Ziyuan has a quick mind and a really fantastic idea."

Cao Cao nodded repeatedly and praised Xu You in public.

The more Xu You was praised, the more thoughtful he became, and he added, "Just now what Duke Ming said, 'Bringing a child should be like Sun Zhongmou', can you blame Long Xiang on it?"

"it is good!"

Cao Cao was startled when he heard this, and he spit out a good word for a long time, and then told Liu Fu, "You guys have offered a lot of advice today, can Yuan Ying write down one of them? If not, just write it down."

Liu Fu cupped his hands and nodded: "I've written it down, I promise it's word for word, and I'll pass it on to Xun Lingjun."

"That's fine."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal to disband the tent, but left Jia Xu and Liu Fu behind, ready to continue discussing matters in the northwest.

To give birth to a child should be like Sun Zhongmou, and it can also be said that to have a child should be like a dragon and cloud.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, juniors against juniors.

Cao Cao was always more afraid of Liu Bei than Long Xiang, and he did not even regard Long Xiang as his opponent.

Facts have proved that Cao Cao's fear is justified.

Liu Fu took a bag of tips and went out of Hebei with Cao Hong and Cao Xiu, and finally parted ways by the Yellow River.

Er Cao went up the Shuo River by boat, and Liu Fu rode south to Xudu on horseback.

Both sides went halfway, and Liu Bei's troops took Gan Ning from the Yellow River and then cooperated with Zhang Fei to take Tongguan from the front in one fell swoop.

Frightened that he could not fight the enemy, Zhong Yao went all the way east to Luoyang and met Ercao. After handing over the army, he went to Xudu again.

When it comes to fighting, Zhong Yao considers himself an amateur.

Seeing that Tongguan had been lost, Cao Hong suggested to garrison Hangu and retreat to Luoyang. Cao Xiu believed that Liu Bei had few troops, and he would easily lose sight of one and lose the other in rapid expansion, so he should confront him westward.

If the enemy advances, retreat again.

Cao Hong listened to his words, sent three thousand soldiers to fight with Cao Xiu, and sent troops to Hangu himself.

As Cao Xiu expected, Liu Bei stopped abruptly when he took Tongguan. Cao Xiu then stationed troops in Hongnong as Cao Hong's outpost to monitor the movement of Tongguan.

With Zhuge Liang's steadiness, how can the army be dangerous?

With Tongguan blocking Cao's army, Liu Bei's goal is to stand firm in Guanzhong, and then to raise armor in the fields, welcome the emperor, take Hanzhong, settle in the northwest, and then enter the Central Plains when the time is right.

The so-called time is ripe, there are several factors.

It needs a stable foundation, a sound name, a change in the world, and Longchamp's prosperity in the southeast.

Because Liu Bei's plan is in front of others, the situation has been advancing as expected.

When Liu Fu returned to Xudu, Xun Yu acted according to his plan, but Sun Quan's plan was slightly behind.

The envoys sent to Hefei to preach the imperial edict, and Xi Zuo to Jiangdong had just left the city, because the time has quietly come to April, and the [-] troops mobilized by Sun Quan have already assembled in Huainan from all directions.

While the Jiangdong warships were gathering on the other side of Ruxu, Lu Meng led the Shicheng garrison to cross the river again and landed in Liyang. As a result, hundreds of defenders in the city fled. The first news of victory soon spread to Sun Quan.

Although Liyang took it easily, the people in the city had already left. Lu Meng didn't even find a grain, so he continued northward with doubts. A few defenders in Fuling and Quanjiao also fled. The city also seemed to have been looted.

Although Lu Meng was still sending out the good news, he felt that something was wrong. A few days later, when the army arrived in Junqiu County, the familiar formula and familiar taste were still there.

In this way, Lu Meng led the army around a large circle.

Empty-handed, they arrived at the assembly point on the tenth day of April.

Sun Quan was in high spirits at this time, and after hearing about Lu Meng's pitiful experience, he felt that Long Xiang might be afraid, so he deliberately asked Zhang Zhao to persuade him to surrender.
