Chapter 177: Lusu Version of 'Red Cliff Fire Attack'
Hefei grows rice and wheat twice a year, and households in the city eat rice and pasta alternately every day.
Long Xiang likes to eat noodles at night, originally just said it casually, but he didn't expect the back house to really send a bowl of "noodles", but it was a bit exaggerated to sell it.
Qiao Wan has no life experience, and commands the kitchen staff according to her own imagination, and finally has this "dark dish".
The noodles that were the thickness of the girl's fingers before being put into the pot swelled by nearly half after cooking, and with lard, salt and other seasonings, the contents of the bowl became indescribable.
Long Xiang flicked it with chopsticks, and when he was hesitating whether to eat or not, Lu Su rushed to the Junsima Mansion on the back foot.
"Yunqi is really diligent enough, and he hasn't eaten dinner yet?"
Lu Su walked in front of him with a smile, saw the object in the bowl, and asked with a strange expression, "This... It's—"
Long Xiang explained calmly, "This is a noodle thing, but the shape is different from the soup cake..."
"Food pays attention to color, flavor and shape, and the bowl of pasta in front of you is... The kitchen has changed today?"
Lu Su shook his head and sat down, pointing to the noodle bowl with a look of disgust.
Long Xiang bitterly told the events of the afternoon, saying that he was just saying it, but he didn't expect Qiao Wan to really make a bowl.
Lu Su laughed after hearing this: "It's the hardest thing to accept the grace of the beauty, the second lady is so attentive, Yunqi eats quickly, let's get down to business."
Long Xiang picked up the noodles and asked, "Is Zijing full?" Do you want to share half of you?"
"No, I'm very full, Yunqi still enjoys it by himself..." Lu Su shook his head.
Because the noodles are thick and difficult to cook, they need to be boiled on a high fire after they are put into the pot, and they will not be strong after they are loaded.
Long Xiang is like eating batter, and finally brings soup to drink, and says that he will popularize the noodle method another day, otherwise he will not have an appetite next time he sees it.
Lu Su sat down, seeing Long Xiang eating noodles and gobbling up, admiration rose in his heart, and said that Yunqi was really arrogant, and I couldn't put my mouth at all, and I didn't know how many "weird" things he had to eat in his married life.
Seeing Long Xiang pushing the noodle bowl to the foot of the table, Lu Su clenched his fists and asked, "Yunqi asked me to come here for the Jiangdong warship, right?"
"Those who know me, Zi Jingye."
Long Xiang tapped lightly: "There has been no news of Sun Ce for some days, this guy suddenly sent a warship to break into Chaohu Lake, could it be for the temptation to attack the city later?"
"When the Chunjiang River was plumbing, Sun Ce attacked by water, and there was no need to requisition people for transportation and supplies, which was indeed a good time to go on the expedition, but I think war is unlikely, and this time it may be a good thing for Hefei." Lu Su stroked his beard and analyzed.
"How?"
"Sun Ce gave up Hefei last year in order to crusade against Guangling Chen Deng, but Chen Deng moved the administrative office to Sheyang, which is inaccessible by boats and boats, and there are many swamps and depressions around, and now it has only been two or three months, and Sun Ce will not be able to conquer Guangling."
When Long Xiang heard the reason, he hurriedly asked, "What is the good thing about Hefei?"
Lu Su replied with a smile: "Sun Ce fought Hefei last year, Hefei is naturally the enemy of Jiangdong, we have all thought about uniting with Chen Deng, won't Chen Deng come to us?" The soldiers of Hefei are not able to fight Jiangdong, but they are more than enough to deal with Lujiang Li Shu..."
"What does Zijing mean—" Long Xiang had basically guessed.
Lu Su then announced the answer: "Sun Ce must have sent people to make peace, and those warships may not be carrying soldiers, but the food for the dozen or so people who ransom Deng Dang."
"I had experience in supervising grain before, and seven or eight boats were carrying thousands of grains, and Zi Jing guessed that he was very willing..."
Long Xiang continued to add: "Li Shu has been fighting fiercely with Yan Xiang of the Thorn History for the sake of several counties in the north of the Lujiang River, secretly colluding with Chen Lan of Lishan Mountain, and playing the Three Kingdoms hegemony in Huainan, Sun Ce is afraid that I will help Yan Xiang..."
Lu Su sighed: "It's a pity that Sun Ce doesn't know the ambition of Yunqi, the more these people fight in Huainan, the more the people under his rule flee to Hefei, and the number of displaced people after the beginning of spring increases..."
"Hmm... It seems necessary to build another new city..."
"Hefei's advantage lies in the fact that there is grain in stock, and the construction of a new city is huge and difficult to achieve in a short time, and it needs to be levied
Recruiting young people will affect Tuntian, and the displaced people who have defected will leave, so that the latecomers can temporarily settle outside the city, send officials and soldiers to manage it, and when the time is ripe, it will not be too late to build a new city."
Long Xiang frowned, and said in a deep voice: "If Li Shu, Yan Xiang and others lead troops to attack, the crops outside our city can be discarded, and the newly attached people will not be..."
"Hefei has a reputation for defeating Sun Ce, Li Shu and Yan Xiang will not dare to come to brush the tiger's whiskers, and if they dare to come, we will also have the ability to retreat from the enemy, as for Sun Ce, he may not come if he is restrained by Chen Deng, and if he really comes, he will have to give up..." Lu Su reluctantly spread his hands.
Seeing that Long Xiang was silent, Lu Su continued to remind: "Yunqi, don't forget Uncle Huang, he is now defeated in Xuzhou, he is likely to come to Hefei, Hefei's money, food, and military resources are best kept first, and when the time comes, it will be useful to capture Huainan, as long as Uncle Huang defeats the entire Huainan, are you afraid that the people will not have a city to live in?"
"That's right—"
Long Xiang bowed his head slightly: "If Sun Ce sends an envoy to redeem people, do we have to do something?" When else will you contact Chen Deng?"
Lu Su replied: "Uncle Huang and Chen Yuanlong are familiar with each other, this matter should be done when he comes, and the ransom depends on Yunqi's meaning, if you want to hand over Jiangdong, you can deliver it truthfully, if you want to avenge the last attack, you can detain the envoy and the grain ship, send false news back to Jiangdong to lure the enemy, and lead the Jiangdong warship into a trap and ambush..."
Long Xiang heard it in a fog, he had heard of setting up an ambush for soldiers and horses on land, but he had never heard of an ambush for a warship, so he asked curiously, "How do warships set up an ambush?" Please please solve your doubts."
Lu Su walked to the case of Long Xiang, spread the map next to him in the center, and pointed to the water outside Hefei and began to explain.
"Sun Cede has thousands of warships of Liu Xun and Huang Zu, and they can crisscross all places through the Yangzhou water network, and there will be a threat if they don't destroy their boats;
Recently, I came up with a plan, using the water into the Chaohu Lake section of the river to break the enemy, that is, the boat full of sand and gravel hidden in Chaohu Lake, waiting for the Jiangdong warship to sail into the water against the current, dumping the sand and gravel at the end of the water to block the way, and then in the upper reaches of Hefei with the fire boat down the water, both sides of the river at the same time to throw the fire to the river...
Let him burn thousands of ships, and all of them will be burned..."
Long Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart Lu Su is really a good guy, you are a copy of the Chibi Fire Attack, right?
Closing the door and beating the dog is a good method, but the Jiangdong soldiers abandon the ship and go ashore, and the combat effectiveness on land is stretched, but there are many people, and the existing defenders in Hefei may not be able to eat it.
The most critical thing is that the southeast wind is blowing in the spring at this time, and he does not have Kong Ming's ability to borrow the wind, so he can only leave this plan for backup.
"Zijing's plan is very good, but at this time it is a southeast wind, although the fireboat is smooth but not downwind, this plan is more suitable for autumn and winter, and it is really inappropriate at the moment, so I won't play so big with Sun Ce for the time being..."
Long Xiangxin said that the ship could be rebuilt if it burned, but the lack of strength would completely offend Jiangdong, and the future days would be almost the same as Huang Zu, and people would come to patronize it in three days.
What's more, Sun Ce's days are short, so there is no need to take cause and effect on himself.
