Han Xiang

Chapter 541: There are granaries everywhere in Jiangdong

Facing the surprised looks of the people on the city, Long Xiang slowly walked to the foot of the city and stood on horseback, raising his head.

Through the telescope, Long Xiang saw that his "old acquaintance" Zhang Zhao was also there, so as soon as he got closer, he looked at the city with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Zibu, are you okay?"

"Why are you here?" Zhang Zhao swallowed.

Long Xiang pointed to the rear military formation and said meaningfully: "Do you still need me to say it? As the saying goes, it is disrespectful to come back and not reciprocate."

"Ahem. The last time we attacked the Lord of Hefei, we were actually instigated by a villain. Our two families have always been good neighbors and friendly. The slight conflicts were completely misunderstandings. General Long had better be cautious and don't end up in a bad way."

After Zhang Zhao finished speaking hesitantly, he turned to look at Zhu Zhi.

It was hard to vomit with mixed feelings, thinking in my heart that it had only been half a year, why was Long Xiang beaten to his home?
Could I be in a dream?
Secretly pinching the palm of my hand, the pain is still there.

"Sun Quan raised an army of [-], and I'm still afraid it won't end well? Hahaha."

Long Xiang raised his head and laughed. When he stopped laughing, he asked coldly: "Mr. Zibu, do you think I will be afraid? Do you think Long is easy to fool?"

"No no no no"

Zhang Zhao was so retorted that he was speechless, and he quickly changed the subject in a hurry: "The general and the Marquis of Wu used to have a close friendship, and they felt like brothers. There must be a reason for the current situation. Why must we have to fight with each other to the death?"

"Stop it now." Long Xiang stretched out his palm to stop Zhang Zhao and said seriously: "Huh? Sun Zhongmou's siblings? Long doesn't care about them and doesn't like them. Does Mr. Zibu know that I have the title of general?"

Zhang Zhao was startled when he heard this, and then replied coldly: "There have always been many people with the same title as the general. General Long misinterpreted the title of Polu. Does it mean that Dong Zhuo also had this title? The general established himself as a prince based in Huainan, and he has achieved great achievements in the glory of his ancestors. Virtue, we should act according to our ability, keep the people safe and protect the land. Now we invade our Jiangdong without any reason, which is not a gentleman."

"A gentleman? There are things a gentleman does and things he doesn't do. Since the Sun brothers took control of Jiangdong, they have killed too many people and fought wars incessantly, causing the people to live in dire straits and complain."

Long Xiang's words suddenly rose to a high pitch in the middle of his words, and he continued in a loud voice: "I have been ordered by the emperor to raise an army to attack the criminals, and the army has been watching the wind and descending wherever it passes. Sir, you are a wise man who understands current affairs. Even for the sake of the people in the city, you should surrender the city early to avoid the loss of life." .”

Having said that, there is no escaping the battle.

Zhu Zhi took over Zhang Zhao's words, pointed at Long Xiang and shouted coldly:

"General Long, young hero, do you really think that I have no one in Jiangdong? You can block the attack many times in Hefei, but I can't defend Wu County? Seeing that you only have more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, it is just a fantasy to break the city, but you should listen to Zibu and be cautious. I suggest you leave here or you may be able to escape unscathed."

Long Xiang did not refute in time, but turned to ask Han Zong.

When he learned that the man in charge of the city was Zhu Zhi, Long Xiang asked again with a solemn face: "Prefect Zhu is really powerful, but I know how to defend the city and attack it. How can I know if I don't give it a try? I heard that Wu County was conquered by you, you two Is it possible that Long is afraid when you persuade him like this?"

"Afraid? It's a joke."

Zhu Zhi snorted and shook his head, glanced at Zhang Zhao and then stared at the city.

"Hefei is only a thousand miles away? General Long came all the way across the river. Did he bring enough food and grass? We have enough military food in Wu County, and we can easily defend it for a year and a half. I'm afraid you can't afford it here.
In addition, if Zhongmou knows that something has changed, he will definitely return. Even if you can have sufficient supply of food and grass in the future, once our Jiangdong army cuts off the food route, your more than [-] soldiers may either starve to death or freeze to death.
"Cut off my food supply? Hahaha."

Long Xiang helped An'an laugh and said, "I didn't bring any military rations at all. The so-called food route does not exist. I heard that Jiangdong is rich and prosperous. If there is a shortage of food, just take it from anywhere? So I don't need to worry Governor Zhu."

"what?"

Zhu Zhi gritted his teeth and breathed rapidly. He had no idea that Long Xiang would not follow the art of war.

Wu County is the richest place in the entire Jiangdong, and the area where thieves have been the cleanest. And because it is located in the "rear area" of Jiangdong, there are only a few soldiers in various places to maintain law and order. If Long Xiang really treats the surrounding counties as granaries, then what can he do? It took longer than Wuxian County.At this time, many people came to the city one after another, including many powerful local families. Long Xiang's words just now were like thunder on the ground, exploding in the hearts of everyone.

The powerful families living in Wu County had their land, properties, tenants, etc. mostly scattered in various counties and townships in Wu County.

If Long Xiang is allowed to snatch it wantonly, the interests of the powerful clans will be damaged, and the worry is written all over his face.

Zhang Zhao saw that the others looked wrong and secretly scolded Long Xiang for being shameless. At the same time, he also admired the idea of ​​'using local materials'.

He stretched out his hand to support the wall bricks and advised earnestly: "Since General Long has obeyed the imperial edict, what is the difference between plundering the people and plundering the people? Even if the general's food and grass are not hindered, your more than ten thousand soldiers are really not enough, not to mention that Wu Hou wants to return The soldiers came to rescue, but the surrounding garrisons sent reinforcements to Wu County. The general may not be able to resist it. You young hero, don't be impulsive."

"There are troops stationed nearby?" Long Xiang deliberately looked at Han Zong and started to communicate in a playful way: "Is Mr. Zibu talking about your father, and the works of Wu Cheng Zhu Xiumu (Zhu Huan)? There are other things besides this ?”

"There are more than a thousand troops stationed there. I only remember these two places, but I really don't know the rest."

Han Zong mistakenly thought that Long Xiang was deceiving him and shook his head like a rattle to show his loyalty.

Before Long Xiang could answer, Zhu Zhi on the city got angry and pointed at Han Zong and yelled: "Han Zong, you shameless traitor, you'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise I will eat you alive."

"Why is General Zhu angry? You can see General Han here. Do you still expect General Han to come to rescue you from Wanling? Don't forget that I am passing through Danyang and also passed through Wucheng."

Long Xiang's ambiguous words shocked the people in the city again, and everyone began to make speculations.

Han Dang's troops may not be able to stop him, but Zhu Huan has tens of thousands of troops. Even if the Hefei troops are as powerful as Cao's army, it is impossible to wipe out all the Wucheng garrison.

Until Long Xiang's troops came to the city, no deserters from Wucheng came to report, everything seemed so unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhi asked excitedly: "Long Yunqi, what did you do to Wucheng?"

"What did you do?" Long Xiang looked at Han Zong again, then spread his hands, turned around and said, "I had a very happy conversation with General Zhu, so he left all his troops in Wucheng. Governor Zhu can't wait any longer. "

Zhu Zhi listened to Long Xiang's wishes and seemed to capture Wucheng without any bloodshed.

Although it sounds absurd, it is reasonable to combine various things.

Sun Quan had treated Zhu Huan very well in the past two years. Zhu Zhi did not believe that Zhu Huan would surrender. After all, if Long Xiang failed, the Zhu family would face Sun Quan's liquidation.

The fourth surname of Wu County is Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang, and Zhu Huan is the patriarch of the Zhu family. He does not only represent himself.

The more Zhu Zhi thought about it, the stranger he became, he frowned and asked, "What did you do to Xiu Mu?"

"General Zhu is a guest in the camp. He just suffered some cold and is resting behind him. If Governor Zhu surrenders in Kaicheng, he will find a doctor to treat him."

"Don't believe it? General Han can testify that General Zhu is really in my camp."

Zhu Zhi's heart sank when he saw Han Zong nodding. He immediately punched the wall brick and said coldly: "Long Yunqi, you are amazing, but you want me to surrender."

As soon as he got to the crux of his cruel words, he was suddenly interrupted by Zhang Zhao beside him, who pulled his sleeve.

"Jun Li, wait a moment."
