Chapter 146: The best strategy fails, and the middle strategy is the middle policy
Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce's frowns, so he comforted him: "Bo Fu doesn't have to be entangled, it will naturally be clear when he arrives in Hefei, although Long Xiang is not enough to worry about, but Lu Zijing should not be underestimated, and it is estimated that it will be more expensive than Anhui County."
"Well, Gong Jin's upper strategy doesn't work, and there are two middle and lower strategies available, so you can't come in vain."
Sun Ce nodded in response, and ordered the scout to probe again, but as Hefei got closer and closer, the information sent back was the same every time.
Within three moments, the army arrived in Hefei.
The scene in Sun Ce's eyes was consistent with the intelligence, the raised suspension bridge, the closed city gate, a few tooth flags, and a small number of defenders guarding the city.
A gust of wind blew from Shi Shui, carrying the bleakness and coolness of autumn.
While thinking about it, a young general in armor appeared in the center above the tower.
Zhang Zhao recognized that it was Long Xiang, so he hurriedly pointed out to Sun Ce to introduce it.
"Lord, it's Long Xiang."
"This man is really young, Zibu, go and ask him why he closed the city? In addition, I will ask about the situation of Erqiao, Gong Jin and I are brothers, and I happen to accept that pair of sisters as concubines, but I don't want any Yuan Shu's daughter."
"Yui."
Zhang Zhao got the order to urge the horse to step forward, went to the place where Zheng Bao fell from his horse by the moat, bowed to Long Xiang in the city, and asked, "Long Sima is not harmed, how did you think about yesterday's affairs?"
Long Xiang clasped his fists and replied with a smile: "Hehe, Mr. Zibu came so quickly, the Qiao family is still serving filial piety, and there is no idea of marrying a daughter at this time, please General Sun and Zhou Lang don't look for a good match."
"I didn't say that yesterday, and now I don't want to even one?"
Although Zhang Zhao was smiling, he had scolded Long Xiang hundreds of times in his heart, he was angry at Long Xiang's behavior of breaking his word and fattening himself, and said in his heart that he could not tell me directly yesterday? Now I'm embarrassed like that.
Long Xiang pretended to be stupid and asked, "No matter one or two, aren't they all the daughters of General Qiao?" Is it possible to respect different periods of filial piety?"
"Huh."
Zhang Zhao nodded, and suddenly his face turned cold and snorted: "It seems that Long Sima didn't listen to me, don't you see the tens of thousands of athletes behind you?" Please also think twice before you act, don't bring disaster to Hefei...".
"What do you mean, sir? The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, but you still want to marry forcefully? I heard that in the past, Sun Jian was forced to marry the Wu family, and Sun Bofu was really a son inheriting his father's business..."
Xiang wanted to mock with more ruthless words, but he still held back when the words came to his lips.
Long Xiang used Sun Jian as an example, Zhang Zhao couldn't find a good excuse for a while, and pointed at Long Xiang and spit out three words for a long time.
"You... How daring..."
From Long Xiang's ridicule just now, Sun Ce concluded that the "short-lived theory" came from Long Xiang's mouth.
Because the father-son metaphor was too obvious, a murderous aura rose from Sun Ce's body, and his eyes looked directly at the condescending young man.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhou Yu held down Sun Ce's hand holding the gun, and reminded in a low voice: "Bo Fu, don't be angry, this guy has a sharp mouth, I'll go and replace Zibu now."
"Hmm..."
Sun Ce gritted his teeth and looked gloomy: "If it doesn't work, use the next strategy, it's only been two days to fight Anhui County, and I can't get used to seeing this husband's face."
"Don't be impatient, the so-called go to the army to fight and strategize, and don't be in a hurry to make a decision."
Zhou Yu hit his horse to Zhang Zhao's side, and rushed to Long Xiang on the upper floor of the city to hug his fists and salute.
"Long Sima, don't come to harm?"
Long Xiang replied: "Since the farewell of Lu'an, it has been several spring and autumn seasons, and Gong Jin's demeanor is as good as before, which is really enviable."
"The former grain superintendent has become the lord of Hefei today, and Zhou Yu is also very emotional."
Zhou Yu was calmer than Zhang Zhao, seeing that Long Xiang was not aggressive, he also greeted him politely, but unexpectedly Long Xiang's next sentence stumped him.
"Gong Jin is majestic and heroic, and people like you will also lack women? I'm afraid that Gong Jin will raise his arms and exclaim, the beauty who wants to marry into the Zhou family can go from Hefei to Xudu, although the two of us don't have a deep friendship, they can be regarded as familiar at first sight, for the sake of your reputation and General Sun's reputation, don't force the person who guards filial piety to marry..."
"Hehe, I didn't expect General Long to be so polite..."
Zhou Yu used laughter to resolve the embarrassment, and at the same time, he was also using his brain to think of countermeasures, and soon thought of coping words.
"Maybe Zibu didn't understand, how could Bo Fu and I break the ban for women? In fact, we have an old relationship with General Qiao, how can we see the family of the deceased being displaced?
Hefei is located in the key place of Jianghuai, how can they live and be stable if they stay here? Therefore, I plan to receive Jiangdong's care, and with the family background of the two of us, even if I take a concubine, I will not wronged them, and I also ask Long Sima to make it convenient."
Seeing Zhou Yu's reaction so quickly, Long Xiang felt that it was reasonable but also a little surprised, so he casually asked, "Do you have the old? I'm an old general, why don't you know?"
"Haha, Long Sima used to be Qu Hou, how can everything be clear?"
Zhou Yu smiled heartily, and said in his heart, you dare to ask? Humiliating yourself in front of me? He threw away the pressure of public opinion with his backhand: "I heard that Long Sima is still alone, could it be that he is beating their idea? It's not as good as the beauty of an adult to marry someone who is afraid of marrying a shame?"
Long Xiang was shocked that Zhou Lang was really not idle, so quickly he took the initiative against the guest, and Lu Su saw that the situation was not right and wanted to come forward to help.
"Yunqi, why don't you let me..."
"Zijing is not in a hurry."
Long Xiang stretched out his hand to block Lu Su, the wrinkles between his eyebrows suddenly eased, and he looked at Zhou Yu and shook his head gently: "Long Mou is just a nobody, whoever wants to laugh can laugh, I want to be an adult, but unfortunately Mrs. Qiao does not agree, the so-called words of the parents' order matchmaker, I believe Gong Jin can understand, as for whether they can be stable, you don't need to worry about it."
"Very good, very good, Long Sima Qiankun is in his own hands, it's really eye-catching."
Long Xiang moved out of the Chen clan as a shield, and Zhou Yu couldn't find a weakness to refute for a while, so he hit the idea on Lu Su who had just appeared.
"Brother Zijing, long time no see."
"Gong Jin is polite."
"Long Sima is young and vigorous, it is inevitable to act a little impulsively, Zi Jing is the main book, at this time the situation in Jiangdong does not need me to say in detail, Liu Xun's Lujiang was also conquered by my lord in two days, relying on the lonely city of Hefei to fight with us, it is really unwise, why don't Zijing persuade the people around him?"
Lu Su said honestly: "Huainan wars and natural disasters continue, Yunzhi Hefei is based on the city, never intrudes on the people, Kou is a Quartet, Gong Jinyan and Jiangdong are at odds, I don't know where the reason comes from?"
Zhou Yu waved his hand lightly: "Haha, Zijing is a smart person, there are some conventions, do you still need me to say it clearly?"
"Compared to Gong Jin, Su Ziqian is not as good as him."
Lu Su pretended to be stupid and shook his head, and then added: "And I'm just the master of Yunqi, and I have to get up to make ideas about the big and small affairs of Hefei, please forgive me..."
Zhou Yu understood that the best strategy was no longer feasible, and immediately adjusted his strategy to prepare for the next set of guilt, even if the war needs to be famous, he must let Long Xiang bear the fault on his head and let the Jiangdong Army occupy the moral high ground.
"Hehe, then I won't be strong, by the way, I didn't see Liu Ziyang when I broke Anhui County, I heard that he followed the homeless people to Hefei, can Zijing ask him to come out to meet?"
"I..."
Long Xiang interrupted Lu Su very vigilantly, and then took over the conversation and asked: "Mr. Ziyang is indeed in Hefei, but he is not on the city tower at this time, it is necessary to delay the time by inviting him over, if there is anything important, you may as well say it bluntly, Zijing and I can both relay it, if it is just to talk about the old days in private, how about another day?" Tens of thousands of people are waiting behind you..."
