Han Xiang

Chapter 548

Seeing Long Xiang frowning and saying nothing, Hao Meng stepped forward and whispered: "General, I heard that you rejected Han Zong's proposal. Do you want to meet Mrs. Yuan?"

"Ok?"

Long Xiang frowned and looked at Hao Meng, as if to say why are you here?

"No. That's not what Mojiang meant."

Seeing Long Xiang's expression was different, Hao Meng hurriedly explained: "Back then, many of Yuan Shu's ministers were sent across the river. Although they were not reused in Jiangdong, they were still a considerable force. The general thought that he could send them through Mrs. Yuan. Get together."

"Oh? Not bad. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable."

Long Xiang looked at Hao Meng in surprise, with a feeling of admiration.

Hao Meng smiled awkwardly, clasped his fists and replied: "General Miaozan, I used to serve as a guard for the imperial army in Shouchun, and I just witnessed a lot of things."

"Very good, very good."

Long Xiang looked at Hao Meng and nodded, thinking that he would return to Liyang in a few days and was worried that he could not find Wu County to stay behind. Hao Meng was a useful talent.

"It's not appropriate for me to see Mrs. Yuan. Are Yuan Yao, Huang Yi and others in the city?"

"Well, both of them are spending time in Wu. Mrs. Yuan found a doctor for Yuan Yao early last year."

After Hao Meng finished answering, Long Xiang thought for a while and then said: "Tomorrow morning I will meet with all the officials, and you will bring Yuan Yao to see me later tomorrow. If you want Jiangdong to stabilize quickly, you have to win over the support of some people."

"I'll remember it, General." Hao Meng responded with clasped fists.

After a while, Lei Xu and Chen Lan also came back.

Long Xiang encouraged a few words in public, then gathered around the table with everyone, pointed at the map on the table and said: "Although we have won Wu County, we are still far from establishing a firm foothold in Jiangdong. There are three things that need to be done right now. The most important thing is The most important thing is to return to Liyang, work with Zijing to capture Handang first, and then deploy to fight the main force of Jiangdong. I guess Sun Quan is on his way back."

Xu Ding asked: "When will we set off? We have just entered the city a few hours ago, and the situation in Wuxian County has not yet stabilized. When will Yunqi plan to leave?"

"Wait a few days first."

Long Xiang paused and continued to add: "The ministers from Jiangdong are forced to surrender. Now they are not of the same mind as us. Only by completely defeating Sun Quan's main force will these people be able to work hard. But when the army returns to Liyang, it will be hard." An stayed to defend the city."

"It's just what Yun Qi ordered, but"

Xu Ding frowned and said worriedly: "I have no problem guarding Wuxian County, but I don't have the confidence to deal with those Jiangdong officials."

"Don't worry, Bo'an. I will stay for a few more days and I won't leave you a mess."

After Long Xiang comforted Xu Ding, he looked at Hao Meng and said, "General Hao will also stay when the time comes to help Bo'an take good care of Wu County."

"only."

Hao Meng clasped his fists seriously.

Zhao Fan took advantage of the opportunity and asked in a low voice: "General Long, there are two things left."

"The second thing is to appease the surrounding areas of Wu County. Don't take advantage of us to go to Liyang to resist Sun Quan, cause trouble in the rear or come to Wu County's 'King Qin', so I have to stay for a few days to stabilize the officials in the city, and then let them go to stabilize the surrounding areas; third The first important thing is Zhu Huan. The garrison in Wucheng is always a threat and will definitely not be used against Sun Quan. I am still undecided. I want to take Zhu Huan to Liyang or be trapped in Wu County."

Long Xiang said with a sad face. In reality, conquering a city is much more difficult than playing a game. Victory is not achieved by conquering the opponent's main city. There are so many finishing tasks to be dealt with, and a slight mistake may turn victory into defeat.

Hao Meng looked at the others and whispered a question: "General, do you want to take Han Zong to Liyang?"

"Ok?"

Long Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then affirmed: "Yes, I will take him to persuade Han Dang to surrender." "Oh."

Hao Meng nodded slightly and added cautiously: "I have something to say at the end, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"You can speak freely, there are no outsiders here."

Long Xiang looked at Hao Meng with a smile and thought to himself, weren't you so reserved before?
Hao Meng swallowed her saliva and replied: "Although Han Zong has made great achievements, he is ruthless and has bad character. If the general is too close and important, I am afraid it will affect your ability to win the hearts of the people."

"I think so."

"And I."

Xu Ding and Zhao Fan echoed one after another.

Long Xiang raised his head and laughed when he saw this, and then said seriously: "Don't worry, everyone, I have my own arrangements for Han Zong. Having him attract hatred for us will actually be of great help in winning Jiangdong. Let's go all out to repel Sun Quan first. , don’t forget that Sun Quan has many warships and his troops are several times larger than ours. I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to completely make Sun Quan surrender.”

When Xu Ding, Zhao Fan and others nodded in affirmation, Hao Meng suddenly thought of something and immediately clasped his fists and said: "General, the last general and Han Zong just came to the Hou Mansion for deployment. I heard a tactic from him. Maybe we can use it too." superior?"

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Seeing Long Xiang's interest, Hao Meng immediately organized his thoughts, glanced at Chen Lan and then said:
"When General Taishi was suspected of having ulterior motives, Lu Meng ordered him to go to Lu'an to contain him. However, he did not send troops to attack Shouchun. Instead, he wanted to sneak attack Liyang and control his family, intending to use his family to make General Taishi surrender. Fortunately, you had the foresight to make arrangements in advance. General Chen Seize Liyang to defeat his conspiracy, otherwise the consequences will be hard to predict. I was wondering if I could use it as a reference."

As a person involved, Zhao Fan looked sullen when he heard this.

Without waiting for Long Xiang's answer, he frowned and clasped his fists to admonish: "Lü Meng's weird tricks are really the plans of a despicable villain, and Sun Quan is a cold and ruthless man, so General Long shouldn't be able to use them, right?"

"As the saying goes, soldiers use deceitful methods. Lu Meng's plan is a bit sinister, but it also has reference value. It should be more interesting to think of using one's methods to retaliate against others."

Long Xiang smiled leisurely, patted Zhao Fan's arm, and said comfortingly: "Bo Chang, don't worry, I can't threaten you with prisoners. However, organizing some family members in the rear and writing letters of persuasion to surrender to the frontline soldiers is a good way to break the morale of the army. "

Zhao Fan swallowed hard, then clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful, the general broke the enemy's heart, what else can Sun Quan use to win? This may be half the battle."

Long Xiang shook his head gently and said humbly: "There are no absolutes in this world. Even if you have a clever plan, you can't be careless. Sun Quan has many loyal generals, so we can't take it lightly."

"only."

Everyone clasped their fists in agreement at the same time.

Long Xiang chatted with the generals for a while, and just like when they were defending the city in Hefei, they all made bunks in the palace and spent their first night in Wuxian.

Early the next morning, Han Zong was the first to come to see him.

Long Xiang and everyone had breakfast, and then sent Xu Ding, Hao Meng, Chen Lan, and Lei Xu away to calm the people, leaving only Zhao Fan and a group of tiger guards in the Hou Mansion. He also ordered Liu Fu to send out his scouts to attack Wu County. The information was sent to Liyang by water.

It has been more than ten days since he left Liyang, and Long Xiang still has no news about Lu Su. Liyang is always on his mind.

War is like a chessboard. If the chess players do not look at the overall situation, they will easily fall short.

Just after Chen hour, Zhang Zhao came to court with hundreds of officials in the city.

Long Xiang looked at the influx of people and felt as if he was at the construction site.

With experience as a project manager, Long Xiang is familiar with holding meetings to boost morale.

Two words, so easy!
