In ancient times, population was wealth, and Sun Ce captured tens of thousands of prisoners in Anhui County, and he would not leave the captives in Anhui County, but would transfer all of them to Wu.

Tens of thousands of people migrated across the river, taking time and warships.

When the use of warships was tight, Sun Ce's conditions for galloping south to help Sun Ben were insufficient, so he took advantage of the gap to lead his troops to the north, intending to eat the small force of Long Xiang.

During the interrogation of a number of prisoners, Zhou Yu pieced together some information about Hefei.

It was probably Long Xiang who annexed Zheng Bao and gained a lot of money, grain and population, making Hefei a large county with tens of thousands of people.

There are many treasures in the treasury of Anhui County, but there is a relative lack of grain.

Sun Ce could motivate his soldiers with money, but the need for military rations was more direct in the war.

Hearing that Hefei may have enough grain in stock, Sun Ce's eyes are full of green light, and he can not pursue Long Xiang's crimes, provided that Hefei can pay a sufficient price.

In order to ensure the rapid capture of Hefei, Sun Ce appointed Li Shu as the Taishou of Lujiang, leaving him with 3,000 defenders, and the rest of the men and horses all marched to the north, including nearly 10,000 soldiers in Anhui County.

Zhou Yu formulated three strategies for Sun Ce: outwitting, Huairou, and attacking, each of which requires strong troops as a deterrent, and the nearly 10,000 soldiers are not only used to fill the number.

If the upper and middle strategies cannot be successful, the lower strategy and the strong attack on Hefei must be used, and the soldiers must be used as the vanguard of the siege to consume the defenders' bows and arrows and physical strength.

Nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses marched mightily, and when the army reached the north of Shu County, they caught up with dozens of fleeing craftsmen, and interrogated and learned that their destination was also Hefei.

Zhou Yu had an idea and offered advice to Sun Ce: "Long Xiang is sheltering the homeless people in Hefei, why don't we send dozens of people to disguise themselves as craftsmen and sneak into the city? If the two strategies of outwitting and being gentle are not successful, it will be easier to break the city if you have the inner hand."

"Do you really want to be so cautious? Although there are seven or eight thousand defenders in Hefei, most of them are Zheng Bao's remnants, and their combat effectiveness is estimated to be inferior to the defenders of Anhui County, how can they stop my 30,000 army? If the dragon is a material that can be made, it will definitely know the times and return to Jiangdong."

Sun Ce didn't take Long Xiang seriously at all, and his words were full of contempt.

Zhou Yu admonished: "Although Long Xiang is not a masterpiece, but Lu Zijing should not be underestimated, if he really helps Long Xiang defend the city, Hefei may not be as easy as Anhui County, I suggest that the faction should enter the city first, let's solve the matter here as soon as possible, and go south to Peng Ze to break Liu Xun."

"Okay, just follow Gongjin."

Sun Ce nodded in agreement with Zhou Yu's request, and then sent Deng Dang to pretend to be a fleeing craftsman first, and then frowned and hesitated: "I don't think Gong Jin's best strategy is good, if this matter spreads, it may cause people to criticize, saying that I am a woman in the city."

Zhou Yu laughed: "Haha, history is the book of the victors, and it is natural for beauties to be heroes, besides, I and Bo Fu are each alone, even if the world misinterprets them, there are people who share them, so why bother Bo Fu?"

"That's right—"

Sun Ce nodded slightly, and quipped to Zhou Yu: "Although the two daughters of Qiao Rui are displaced, it is enough to have the two of us as sons-in-law."

Zhou Yu said, "Bo Fu was once a general under Yuan Shu, don't you know that Qiao Rui's two daughters are stunning? You won't regret it if you're alone, will you?"

"Where did Gong Jin speak? You and I are like brothers, how can I be guilty of beauty? Moreover, in the past, he worked for Yuan Shu, and he was outside all the year round, and he rarely paid attention to the affairs of others, so he didn't know that the second daughter had a shocking face." Sun Ce shook his head.

Zhou Yu smiled mysteriously: "I don't believe it..."

"Gong Jinxiu wants to joke, if the second daughter has promised others, your best policy may not be able to do it..."

"The Qiao family is still in the period of filial piety, and Long Xiang is also Qiao Rui's general, he can't ignore his identity... Nor should it be... Anyway, we have hope..."

"I don't care, anyway, Gong Jin's upper, middle and lower three strategies, there is always one strategy that can work."

"Of course, although Zijing is talented, I am more confident."

"Gong Jin, don't think too much, let's train the soldiers on this trip, and let Liu Xun's subordinates hone it in order to help me achieve a great cause, Long Xiang and Hefei? I haven't seen it yet."

Sun Ce didn't take Long Xiang in his eyes, and Long Xiang didn't take Sun Ce to heart, he knew that Sun Ce had fought Lujiang, and he had never heard that Sun Ce had fought Hefei, after all, Hefei was

For Sun Quan.

Even if Sun Ce attacked Anhui County, Liu Ye came to defect with his family and a large number of craftsmen, Long Xiang never thought that Hefei was in danger, he thought that the Hefei soldiers were few and low-key, and would not be remembered by Sun Ce.

In more than ten days, nearly 10,000 people fled from Lujiang to Hefei, far exceeding Long Xiang's expectations.

It is gratifying that half of the displaced people are craftsmen, which is of great benefit to the construction of Hefei; Unfortunately, in addition to Liu Ye's family, there are hundreds of people who have idle meals, and hundreds of Yuan Shu's wives and children have also come to Hefei smoothly under the planning of Yang Hong.

Yuan Shu's wife and children are used to fine clothes and jade food, and Long Xiang is not walking away, and it is also an eyesore to raise it in vain.

Long Xiang placed these hundreds of "Bodhisattvas" in the renovated Prime Minister's Mansion, and according to the standards of the newcomers, he distributed food to the people in the palace according to the capitation.

There was no wine and meat, no servants to serve, Yuan Shu's wife and children were not suitable at first, and sent Yang Hong, Lu Mian and others many times to complain, but Long Xiang complained about the lack of food in the official warehouse, and euphemistically suggested that this group of people find a new place.

In troubled times, it is not easy to find a place to eat.

Yuan Yin first abandoned Shouchun to join Liu Xun, and then because of Sun Ce's sneak attack on Lujiang to Hefei, although the conditions here were difficult, but he was the old general of Qiaorui, and he could stay here for the time being to avoid military disasters, and the "nobles" overcame the difficulties.

Long Xiang doesn't like to raise idlers, especially the children of families like Yuan Yin and Yuan Yao, he is ready to find a place to send them away, after all, the temple can't accommodate the big Buddha.

On the second day of October, the autumn wind rolls the leaves.

Long Xiang took a piece of grass in his mouth and leaned on the city tower in the north of Hefei, thinking about the whereabouts of the Yuan family while waiting for Luo Yicheng to come back and restore his life.

Luo Yicheng has been delivering letters in Xuzhou for more than a month, and Long Xiang estimates that the days should almost be fattened, so he will go upstairs in Beicheng every day for a while.

There are many forces around Huainan, Long Xiang only knows Liu Bei at present, he can't pit his lord and send the burden of the Yuan family to Xuzhou.

Long Xiang didn't know Jiangxia Huangzu and Yuzhang Huaxin, and Jiangdong Sun Ce became the only place for the Yuan family, which was also the historical belonging of the Yuan family.

The reason why he didn't dare to choose Sun Ce was because Lu Su was the only suitable middleman.

Lu Su and Long Xiang only have less than two years left in the "contract", and Long Xiang is worried that when Lu Su helps him send away the Yuan family, Lu Dudu will ask for meat buns and beat dogs, which will outweigh the losses.

It's hard.

Suddenly, a gust of golden wind swept by, rolling up the yellow leaves onto the city walls.

Coincidentally, a leaf covered half of Long Xiang's eyes, and under the sun, the "meridians" inside the dead leaves were clearly visible.

Long Xiang pinched the dead leaves in his hand, looked at them for a long time, and felt that he actually chanted his favorite ancient texts.

"Fu Qiu, the criminal officer is also yin; And the soldiers are like elephants, and they use gold in their actions, which is the righteousness of heaven and earth, and they always take slaughter as their heart..."

Heaven and earth are righteous, and killing is the heart?

Sun Ce didn't have long to live, so let's raise it for a few more days, and wait for the assassination of the little overlord to pass away, and then give the Yuan family to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan accepted such a big gift, and he might have to say thank you to himself.

Wonderful.
