Han Xiang

Chapter 564 Good and bad news come one after another

Xu Ding and Long Xiang have known each other for a long time. They are not just subordinates, but also treat each other as friends.

The last time he supported Liyang, he decided to stay in Wu County, but Long Xiang decided to stay in Xu without even thinking about it. His level of trust is evident.

When he heard Long Xiang say such words, Xu Ding hurriedly stopped and asked with concern:

"Why did Yun Qi say that? Don't you already have a strategy to defeat the enemy?"

"Bo'an didn't understand what I meant. Of course I have the confidence to retreat Lu Fan's troops, but what if he comes back next time? What if he leads troops to attack Hefei? These are all potential threats and troubles;

Now that our sphere of influence has grown, the people who can use it seem to be stretched thin. In addition, we have just arrived, have not established a stable footing, and are not rich in troops. We can only move around to resolve the crisis. Once we make a mistake, it will be a big problem."

Xu Ding suddenly realized that there were not enough manpower, so he asked:

"So you are"

"I plan to go to the Gu Mansion and ask Gu Yuantan to recommend one or two talents. We cannot rely on a few old brothers in Hefei to manage the entire Jiangdong. We must also use local talents as appropriate."

Long Xiang did not shy away from Xu Ding.

Xu Ding nodded in agreement: "Gu Yuantan is serious in speech and has excellent reputation. The people he recommends should not be bad. In addition, I also think of someone. Do you want Yunqi to try it?"

"Pai? Bo'an, let's talk about it."

As soon as Long Xiang finished speaking, he immediately added: "Sun Quan left behind many internal affairs talents. I need someone who understands military affairs and is comprehensive. It is best to be able to take charge of one's duties like Taishi Ziyi."

"Well, this person is quite comprehensive, but his martial arts skills are definitely not as good as General Taishi."

Xu Ding hesitated for a moment, but then said what he was thinking: "Lü Dinggong, the Prime Minister of Wu County, is very stable and capable. This time he was captured by Lu. He was the only official in the city who actively cooperated and relieved me of a lot of worries. Yun Qi can inspect the preparations." select."

"Lü Dai, Lü Dinggong? Since Bo'an recommended him, I will focus on investigating."

The only people with Lu names in the Three Kingdoms that Long Xiang was familiar with were Lu Bu, Lu Meng and Lu Fan outside the city. Lu Dai was relatively unfamiliar.

After taking Wuxian, Long Xiang and Lu Dai met several times, and each other gave people a sense of stability.

I didn't expect Xu Ding to be rated so highly. He is probably a practical person.

After saying this, the two of them went out at the same time. Long Xiang's destination was still the Gu Mansion, so after the two of them parted ways, Xu Ding thought about it again and again, but still resisted going to see Lu Dai.

Whether you can be watched by Long Xiang depends on your real ability.

Xu Ding was unwilling to tip off the news and helped Lu Dai commit fraud.

The sky was gray at that time, and Long Xiang was just in time for dinner.

This time he didn't refuse the invitation and stayed at Gu's house for a meal.

Long Xiang did what he said and returned victoriously, and Gu Yong admired him even more.

Before Long Xiang could express his intention at the table, Gu Yong first reported the situation in Kuaiji.

The news that Zhu Zhi was exterminated reached Kuaiji. Zhu Ran immediately raised his troops and went to Wu County to avenge him. Fortunately, he was stopped by Zhu Huan's troops, otherwise Wu County would not only be a threat to Lu Fan.

Long Xiang swallowed hard after hearing this. He transferred Zhu Huan away because he was worried about threatening Wu County. Unexpectedly, he actually blocked Zhu Ran for him, and he quietly developed a good impression of Zhu Huan in his heart.

"I really didn't expect Zhu Junli's tragedy. Zhu Yifeng's reaction was also normal. However, Han Zong was killed by his father, and Han Dang was forced to death by Sun Quan, so he can be regarded as having his revenge. Yuan Tan should be with Zhu I know Yi Feng, could you please help me write a letter to persuade him not to cause any more killings?"

"I will send people to Kuaiji tomorrow. Sun Zhongmou has been defeated in Lishui. I hope I can persuade Zhu Yifeng to withdraw his troops."

"Thank you then."

Long Xiang raised his wine glass and said solemnly: "The Sun family has been entrenched in Jiangdong for several years. It is estimated that it will not be completely stable in a short time. It can be seen that many ministers are swaying. I Guan Yuantan is magnanimous and firm. I hope you will share more in the future and we can build a better future together. Jiangdong"

"General Meng thinks highly of him, and Yong Ding tries his best."

Facing the olive branch offered by Long Xiang, Gu Yong decisively took it.He knew that this was the reward for rebelling against Sun. If he didn't accept it, it would fall on others, and he had to accept it for the sake of the Gu family.

Through observation during this period, Long Xiang was easy-going, good at using soldiers, and compared with Sun Quan in making judgments. Gu Yong felt that he had made the right bet.

Just as Gu Yong finished his statement, Long Xiang immediately threw out the sweet dates.

"Now is the time to hire people. If Yuan Tan has suitable talents, he can recommend more to me. By the way, I want to meet Lu Boyan, whom I mentioned last time."

"Since the general has spoken, I will send someone to invite him tomorrow."

"It's work."

Long Xiang stayed in Gu's Mansion for two hours, and finally returned to the Prefect's Mansion with satisfaction.

Lying in bed at night planning the layout of Jiangdong, Long Xiang thought that if Lu Yi could shoulder the heavy burden, and Lu Dai was really a talented person, and with Zhu Huan now in Wanling, he would be able to establish a firm foothold here.

With these three helpers, Long Xiang and Lu Su don't have to operate at full capacity, and can go back to Huainan to take charge of the overall situation.

Long Xiang thought of the wonderful thing and raised the corners of his mouth. Even his dreams at night were sweet dreams.

He dreamed that he successfully captured Yangzhou, and Liu Bei also successfully captured Liangzhou, and then attacked the Central Plains from both sides, and both Cao Cao and Sun Quan surrendered.

When he woke up the next day, Xu Ding came to report the military situation.

"Yun Qiqian is really amazing. There are dense forests and hills fifty miles to the north. Lu Fan has a large number of ambushes on the left and right. He seems to be waiting for us to step into a trap, but he doesn't know that we have a telescope."

"Humph, I led the reinforcements from a long journey and were exhausted, but Lu Fan deliberately withdrew his troops. It was clearly to lure him into attack. He wanted to wait for work in leisure, so naturally I wouldn't fall into the trap."

Long Xiang held his chin and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking that Lu Fan's move was very similar to the original world's sales routine, exaggerating the tense atmosphere to promote orders.

"So his plan to attack Wuxi is just a pretense?"

"Lu Fan should also have considered it. If he doesn't gain anything from coming so far, I'm afraid it won't be easy for him to explain to Sun Quan."

"Then what should we do? Do you really plan to use Zhou Yu's files to defeat the enemy? Is that thing really that useful?"

After hearing the conversation between Long Xiang and Zhuge Jin yesterday, Xu Ding thought of the dossier first, so he showed a suspicious expression.

Long Xiang shook his head when he saw this: "Haha, of course it's not just the files. Let's leave Lu Fan alone for a few days. Then you will know. Although we are inferior in terms of military strength, Hefei's athletes are all capable of fighting. If it doesn't work, we can still fight head-on. "

"Ok."

"You're here just in time. Come with me to the County Cheng's Mansion to inspect Duke Lu Dinggong."

"only."

The two then went to the county magistrate's house and saw that the assistant officials and subordinate officials were performing their duties, and all the documents were neatly placed. From the side, it was obvious that Lu Dai had a good internal affairs level.

Lu Dai came out after hearing the news and invited Long Xiang and Xu Ding to speak in the main hall.

Long Xiang then communicated about the situation in Jiangdong and the use of troops. Lu Dai was able to answer questions fluently, and his performance was beyond Long Xiang's expectations. It was confirmed that he was a useful talent.

In the remaining days, Long Xiang was very busy inspecting various government offices.

Five days later, on the third day of February.

Lei Xu led 8000 troops to Wu County, [-] of whom were newly recruited soldiers from Liyang.

Lu Su was worried that Long Xiang's troops were insufficient, so he selected the available troops through simple preparation, and asked Lei Xu to follow him to Wu County.

Just as Long Xiang wanted to praise Zi Jing for his reliability, the sentinel sent an urgent report from Wuxi: Lu Fan led his troops northward, and Wuxi was in danger.

Zhao Fan is in danger.
