"Let me add that the envoy conquered Lu Bu from Cao Thief last year, and returned to Xudu to meet the Son of Heaven in victory, and the Son of Heaven checked the genealogy of the clan and recognized him as the emperor's uncle."

"Uncle Huang?"

Lu Su stroked his beard as if he had an understanding, and then looked at Long Xiang and asked meaningfully:

"No wonder Yunqi asked me about Xuzhou's strategy, it turns out that you are a person from Xuande, but after Yuan Shu was defeated, why didn't you vote... It's not right—"

The reason why Lu Su didn't go on was because he found that the time was not right, Long Xiang arrived in Hefei before Yuan Shu's defeat, and Liu Bei was still trapped in Xudu at that time.

Long Xiang replied calmly: "Zijing doesn't have to guess, I admire the envoy as a man, and I wanted to lead my troops to vote for him, but I had a lot of fetters at that time, and then the envoy was chased by Lu Bu, and I had to come to Hefei to live..."

"Now that Uncle Huang occupies Xuzhou, and he holds the edict of the Son of Heaven to beg the thief, Yunqi plans to abandon Hefei and go?" Lu Su asked with a blank eye.

Long Xiang shook his head lightly: "Hefei was a deserted city at first, and we only had two or three thousand people here, but now there are sixty or seventy thousand people, and everyone has put a lot of effort into it, how can we easily abandon it..."

"That's right."

After Lu Su agreed, he muttered to himself: "It is not easy for Uncle Huang to get Xuzhou, he will not abandon the state and county and go to a small county, what is Yunqi's plan?"

Long Xiang Zhengse replied: "If you can gain a foothold in Xuzhou, when Yuan Cao's two families fight, he will take the opportunity to go south to seize Huainan, so that Huainan and Xuzhou will be connected, and then Tuntian will raise armor and chase the Central Plains."

After listening to Long Xiang's plan, Lu Su thought it was in line with his cautious character.

Picking up the edict and reading it again, Lu Su frowned, and reminded: "Uncle Huang received the blood edict of the Son of Heaven, unless Dong Cheng and others don't send it secret, otherwise this matter will be revealed sooner or later, and it seems that Cao Cao will not work, if you want to hold Xuzhou, you have to look at Hebei, if Yuan Shao does not send troops for a long time, Cao Cao will get rid of Uncle Huang and then quickly."

Long Xiang said: "Although the plan to show weakness is not successful, but contact the generals of Hebei and Taishan, so that the king has already done it according to Zijing's plan, maybe there is a place to maneuver?"

"Yunqi came to me today, he should have no bottom in his heart, right?" Lu Su's expression was solemn.

Long Xiang nodded in affirmation: "Xuzhou has been in turmoil in recent years, and there have been natural disasters, the people have been displaced, and the city is dilapidated, although the king has barely recruited 20,000 soldiers and horses, but the war not only depends on the number of troops, my people have seen it with their own eyes, saying that Xiapi and Xiaopei are not as good as Hefei, so they are a little worried."

Lu Su said to him: "It's normal not to be as good as Hefei, Yunqi has been here for two years, and Uncle Huang has only been a few months, so it's good that he can feed 20,000 soldiers, not to mention strengthening the city defense and growing grain in the fields..."

"The Chen family in Xuzhou seems to support the envoy..."

"Hehe, the superficial support can't be trusted, when Tao Qian, Lu Bu, and Che Xuan are here, they don't support it the same? At the critical moment, he will only protect himself, Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou twice, why didn't he harm the Chen family? If you think about it, you'll understand."

"So... Isn't Xuzhou in danger?"

"I said a long time ago, the key to solving the siege of Xuzhou lies in Yuan Shao and not Uncle Liu Huang himself, no matter how hard he tries and is diligent, it is useless, and it is impossible to be Cao Cao's opponent at this time."

Lu Su shook his head and sighed, and suddenly there was a thrill, so he asked Long Xiang: "Does Yunqi want to use the people of Hefei to go to Xuzhou to help Uncle Huang relieve the siege?"

"Well, so that you have the ambition to help the world, but you haven't been favored by the heavens for these years, but you can still get more and more courageous and persevering, if you make it occupy Xuzhou and capture Huainan, you will have the foundation of chasing the Central Plains, I want to do my best..."

"No, with a cup of water in Hefei, it is impossible to save Xuzhou's salary, Yunqi has the fetters of the people, and I believe that he will not act impulsively."

Seeing that Lu Su strongly objected, Long Xiang tentatively asked: "I also know that Hefei is short of troops, but I can't just contain the gang from the side, and I don't necessarily fight with the Cao army head-on, and I can't help delay until Yuan Shao sends troops?"

Lu Su shook his head: "Field combat is not as good as defending the city, Hefei has seven or eight thousand soldiers on the surface, but in fact, a small half of them are craftsman battalions, and the remaining combat strength can match the Cao army, it is the Xu family brothers who brought more than 1,000 villagers from Qian County, how many people does Yunqi plan to bring to help?" If there is less, it will not work at all, and if there is more, Hefei will be empty and difficult to keep, don't forget that Sun Ce has just left, and it is very likely that he will go and return..."

"Ahh

Hearing Lu Su's analysis, Long Xiang suddenly felt cool, and sighed that his hand was still too few.

"Even if Sun Ce doesn't come to sneak attack, you lead your troops from Hefei to Xuzhou, and it is naturally the most convenient and fast to take the waterway, but you need to dig through the water and water, but even if the artificial canal is dug through, the boat in Hefei is not enough, so the current waterway conditions are insufficient;

It is estimated that it will take nearly a month to reach Xuzhou, and the rations that each soldier can bring are very limited, so he has to be conscripted to transport grain for the army.

Long Xiang's mind darkened when he heard this, and he pinched his chin and said to himself, "It's that I'm thinking too simply..."

"Being able to defeat Zheng Bao and defeat Sun Ce before, in addition to the geographical advantage of waiting for work, it is also related to Yunqi's prestige in Hefei, if you are indeed a genius in the use of soldiers, you can also choose the elite soldiers in the city to go out and try, as long as you can help Uncle Huang defeat Cao Cao, my worries just now are not worth mentioning."

Lu Su still said unhurriedly.

"If I were a military wizard, why would I have waited until now? I was going to send a general—"

Before Long Xiang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Su and said: "There are fierce generals in Hefei but no handsome talents, if Yunqi does not personally lead the troops, I am afraid that he will not be able to return it..."

"I originally belonged to Zijing..."

"Am I in charge?"

Lu Su was stunned at first, and then Zhengse said: "Thank you Yunqi for your trust, Su is flattered, although I have the confidence to command the troops, but after all, the prestige is not as good as you, and the generals of Hefei may not be convinced, so let's talk about it when I have a chance in the future..."

"That Xuzhou..." Long Xiang stopped talking.

Lu Su thought for a while before looking at Long Xiang and asked, "Can Yunqi know Tian Ji horse racing?"

"Well, I've heard..."

Long Xiang nodded blankly in agreement, and said in his heart, where did I just hear about it, have I learned it in textbooks? But what does this have to do with saving Xuzhou?

Lu Su said: "Xuande can block Cao Cao, drag Yuan Shao to send troops, needless to say, if you can't stop it, it will be like a horse race, Xuzhou is a place of a hundred battles, the people are exhausted, and it is already a horse in the arena, but the emperor can't get out of it;

If he can jump out of the Central Plains arena, come to Hefei in the name of the emperor's uncle and the edict of the Son of Heaven to recruit troops and buy horses, and take Huainan to become a middle horse, then if Sun Ce dies, he will take advantage of the chaos to go south to take Jiangdong, and if Sun Ce does not die, he will take advantage of the defeat of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to enter the Central Plains."

"What about Koto?"

Long Xiangxin said that if Jiangdong didn't care, no matter Sun Ce or Sun Quan, they would come to backstab.

Lu Su smiled slightly: "Isn't it you? Yunqi defended Hefei and defeated Sun Ce, and you are the best candidate to defend Jiangdong.

Hefei has that magical cement, which can be built at the south of Chaohu Lake to build a strong fortress fortification, and if Sun Ce is blocked from going north, he can only go to Guangling, and Chen Deng will block it there."
