Chapter 133: Rigid and self-serving, Liu Zitai

Liu Ye is the son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, after Liu Yan, the king of Fuling, the blood of the Han family is purer than Liu Bei, but he is an unambitious and pragmatic clan.

The privileged life in Yangzhou at a young age made Liu Ye have no ambition to support the Han family, but he has a pair of tricky eyes.

Before Yuan Shu died of illness, he saw that the Shouchun regime was in danger of defeat, so he took his family and subordinates to Liu Xun in advance to gain a firm foothold in Lujiang before Yuan Yin.

He had an in-depth conversation with Lu Su in Hefei and introduced Long Xiang's unique insights, which gave Liu Ye a new perspective on the situation.

If Sun Cezhen dies within two years, Jiangdong is likely to be in chaos, Liu Xun obviously has little ambition, and Long Xiang, with the help of Lu Su, is likely to rise to prominence.

Liu Ye mistakenly believed that Long Xiang's occupation of Hefei was to pave the way for Sun Ce's death.

At that time, Sun Ce swept Jiangdong again, and could use Hefei as a stronghold to go north to the Central Plains, and retreated to use Hefei to defend the northern army to the south.

The returning Liu Ye is like a national player playing chess, when the opponent can only see the next three moves, he has already thought of dozens of moves later.

It's a pity that Liu Ye understood too much and his thinking entered a misunderstanding.

Long Xiang didn't want to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the chaos to become the master of Jiangdong, he asked himself that he was not as good at conspiracy as Sun Quan, and he didn't want to engage in long-term infighting with the Jiangdong Shi clan.

Long Xiang and Lu Su have already expressed their hearts, he wants to lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade, and he is tired and easy to collapse as the lord.

Although Lu Su and Liu Ye are friends, there is an adult city, and he has reservations when talking to Liu Ye at night, which causes Liu Ye's understanding to be biased.

Long Xiang was concentric with the soldiers in Hefei, and Liu Xun and Shou Chunlai were separated from Germany.

Which is stronger and which is weak, the superior is judged.

Liu Ye did not underestimate Long Xiang, but he also did not look down on Liu Xun, he brought back the news from Hefei, and finally selectively reported it.

At the beginning of September, Lujiang was too guarded.

Liu Xun stroked his beard with a solemn expression and stared at Liu Ye for confirmation.

"Sun Ce will die in two years? Come to me if you don't die? Sounds ridiculous, but isn't it Long Xiang's plan to slow down the army?"

Liu Ye replied: "Long Xiang used the battle of Shentingling as an example, thinking that Sun Ce, like his father Sun Jian, has a brave and ruthless character weakness, this weakness is a nature that cannot be changed, and he has killed a lot in Jiangdong in recent years, and he should have accumulated a lot of enemies, I think there is some truth..."

"How can troubled times not die? In the past, Sun Ce attacked Lujiang and killed a lot of people and scholars, but now after so many years, isn't it nothing?"

Liu Xun sneered and shook his head, saying in his heart that Long Xiang was really whimsical.

Liu Ye said, "Sun Ce attacked Lujiang in the past and acted under the banner of Yuan Shu, how could the people and scholars hate him? But now that he is self-reliant in Jiangdong, the situation is different."

"There's some truth to that..."

Liu Xun nodded lightly, and suddenly asked curiously, "Are these Long Xiang's opinions, or Lu Zijing's inferences?"

"Hmm... I don't know, maybe it's both..."Liu Ye replied vaguely.

Lu Su is quite famous in Jianghuai, and Liu Xun naturally puts the credit on his head.

After listening to Liu Ye's words, Liu Xun said to himself: "Lu Zijing is really extraordinary, but unfortunately now that Mingzhu is secretly casting, is there a way to "rescue" him? I can send troops to cooperate with you."

Liu Ye replied: "Long Xiang has taken Zijing's mother to Hefei, and it may not be realistic for us to use strong, and Zijing will not cooperate.

Anyway, Long Xiang has already left a message, so what if we wait for two years? Moreover, Sun Ce is now in his wings, and if he spends money, food, soldiers and horses in Hefei, it is easy for others to make profits..."

"Are you worried that Sun Ce will not be good for me? Haha..."

Liu Xun suddenly laughed, then took out the letter in his arms, and handed it to Liu Ye: "Ziyang might as well take a look at this letter."

Liu Ye unfolded the silk book for a quick browsing, and the more he looked at the eyebrows, the more obvious the Sichuan character became.

Isn't this a diversion of the tiger from the mountain? Liu Ye hurriedly reminded Liu Xun: "Sun Ce is already a young hero, and with the three counties of Huiji, Wu County, and Danyang, it is the time when he is full of ambition, but the words in his letter are humble, and there must be deception, and Taishou categorically cannot agree."

Liu Xun

disagreed, and said: "In the past, I was an important minister of Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce was just a junior general, isn't this kind of wording a matter of course?

In addition, tens of thousands of people in Shouchun moved into Lujiang, and the consumption of grain and rice in the county was really huge, and last month I asked my younger brother (Liu Kai) to borrow grain from Yuzhang, and Huaxin County was also nervous, so I accompanied him to Shangyu, and asked Zhu Zongshuai to raise 30,000 Hu.

But my brother and I only got 2,000 yuan for more than a month, and I didn't even take me seriously, I wanted to kill it for a long time."

"Although the upper wall is small, the city is strong and the pond is deep, it is difficult to attack and easy to defend, and it cannot be raised in ten days, and the troops are tired outside, and the county is empty; If Sun Ce takes advantage of the weakness to attack me, he will not be able to defend it alone; It is to succumb to the enemy and retreat to no return; If the army comes out today, disaster will come now." Liu Ye hurriedly admonished.

"This matter has been decided, Ziyang should not be admonished again."

Liu Xun felt that his tone just now was too heavy, and explained in a low voice: "Sun Ce only has twenty or thirty thousand people, and he is preparing a ship to seek revenge on Huang Zu at this time, he is too busy to avenge Sun Jian, how can he come to map my Lujiang? Ziyang is going to Hefei to work hard, so let's go back and rest early..."

"Yes."

Seeing that Liu Xun was stubborn for his own use, Liu Ye didn't bother to continue to persuade him, so he said goodbye to the Taishou Mansion.

In fact, it's not that Liu Xun doesn't have brains, but because he was forced by reality.

The number of family members left by Yuan Shu is huge, there are thousands of concubines and palace maids alone, these women do not produce any value, but the monthly expenses are extremely large, plus thousands of Yuan's relatives and Shouchun officials, more than 10,000 Shouchun officers and soldiers to support, causing Lujiang money and food to be very tight. br>

In addition to economic reasons, the armies of Zhang Xun, Ji Ling and others are the most nostalgic place for Liu Xun, and they must be reorganized through the war, so Hefei and Shangyi must choose one to fight.

Zhang Xun and others were afraid of Xu Chu and were unwilling to fight Hefei, so Liu Xun had to push the boat down the river, plundered the money and grain, and then left the territory to Sun Ce, so that the other party owed him favors.

Liu Xun also left a hand on Sun Ce, and he sent away the envoy and began to dispatch troops, intending to quietly march and make a big move, wanting to end the battle as soon as possible and return to Lujiang.

Liu Ye went home to consult his brother Liu Lian, only to learn that Sun Ce not only gave Liu Xun a heavy gift, but also the important officials in Lujiang received the treasures, and it was clear that they were setting up a trap for Liu Xun.

"Liu Zitai's troops are in danger, we can't sit still, brother let people pack their bags as soon as possible, and when Liu Xun leads the army to leave, we will also leave Lujiang."

"Where do you want to go?"

"I look at Hefei Longxiang is quite arrogant, Lu Zijing is the chief bookkeeper under his command, maybe he is willing to take us in temporarily, and people must ask for something, Sun Ce's plan is too shallow, and it is not wise for us to stay in Anhui County."

"Do you want to inform the Xingsa family? His brother-in-law, Qin Yilu, didn't he also go to Hefei with you this time?"

"Call them all home tomorrow, carefully discuss and consider the method of evacuation, I will repair a letter and send it to Hefei first, in case Long Xiang does not accept it, I will have to find another place."

"Good."

Liu Xun ignored the advice to fight the line, except for Liu Ye's family in Anhui County, Hao Meng couldn't stay for a day.

With Qin Yilu's introduction in the center, Hao Meng was also tied to the Liu family.

The human society is a net, Qin Yilu threads the needle for Hao Meng, Hao Meng also has another small circle, and others are also jumping into his net.

On the third day of Liu Xun's troops out of Anhui City, Liu Ye received news from Lu Su and Long Xiang, and an escape plan slowly unfolded.

PS: In the last two days of the month, don't waste it if you have a monthly pass.
