Chapter 191: Yuan Shao didn't have a choice
"Sun Ce is in the prime of life at this time, how can he die in a year or two? If he doesn't die in three years, Mr. Zijing will go to Jiangdong, you praise Mr. for his talent to help the world, if he becomes the master of Sun Ce, you can still keep it..."
Zhang Fei suddenly stopped in the middle of his words, and turned his words to give Long Xiang a look: "When did your three-year period start?" Did you write down any paperwork? If you don't write it, you will write it down immediately, from now on..."
Seeing Zhang Fei's nonsense, Long Xiang smiled happily and said: "Yide doesn't have to be like this, as the so-called people don't stand without faith, if Sun Ce doesn't die next year, I must fulfill my promise, Hefei can't keep it, then Huainan will inevitably fall into the hands of Sun Ce, and I just take the troops to vote for the king." ”
"Alas... Why do you have the same tone as your big brother... No wonder you don't see each other much, and your eldest brother still trusts you so much..."Zhang Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Seeing this, Lu Su smiled and said: "Yunqi and Uncle Huang are both benevolent and righteous gentlemen, which is also the reason why I am willing to stay in Hefei." ”
Zhang Fei sighed: "Benevolence and righteousness are easy to suffer, this is only one year and three months away from the three-year covenant, I don't know if my eldest brother and I are in Runan at that time, if Yunqi takes away the tribe of Hefei, he must also take away the tribe's family, how easy is the migration of tens of thousands of people..."
"One year and three months, the time is not short, I have enough time to prepare, Zijing has analyzed just now, Yuan Cao can't tell the winner in a short time, so Jun didn't go to Runan so soon, since Yide came to Hefei, might as well help me train my soldiers?" Long Xiang was still smiling open-mindedly.
Zhang Fei bowed his head solemnly and replied affirmatively: "I just can't be idle, it's best to do something, how about practicing tomorrow?" ”
Long Xiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yide doesn't need to worry, you have been working hard in the past few months, take a good rest for a while, I plan to build a beacon tower in Shishui and build a defensive post in Tuntian District, and it is not too late to practice when these facilities are completed." ”
"Okay, then you can send out more detailed investigations, and tell me as soon as you have the news of the eldest brother and second brother."
"There is no need to be reminded by Yide, we have been paying attention to the Yuan Cao War, and the outcome of the war is not only related to Yuan Shao and Cao Cao themselves, but also to other princes."
"What do you say?"
"Let Zijing give you a solution."
Lu Su got Long Xiang's signal, and explained that "Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Yuan Shao sat on the four states of the army, no matter which of the two wins, it is not a good thing for the other princes, if the emperor uncle has the ambition to chase the Central Plains, then the Yuan and Cao families fight for as long as possible, and they can only give outsiders a chance if they lose both, otherwise the world is either surnamed Cao or surnamed Yuan." ”
"That's a good point..."
Zhang Fei nodded straightly: "I finally understand what it means to be a mastermind, Mr. Zijing has the talent to help the world, so you are worthy of being called a mastermind..."
"General Zhang is polite, Lu Su is only a shallow learner, and he can't help the world, even in this Hefei city, there are people who are more resourceful than me."
"Hefei? Sir, do you mean Long Yunqi? ”
Lu Su smiled and didn't answer, but Long Xiang heard that he was talking about Liu Ye, so he smiled and explained to Zhang Fei: "Zijing is talking about his friend Liu Ziyang, Ziyang is indeed a resourceful man, he lives in Zijing's main book, and I will introduce you to you when I go back." ”
"Also surnamed Liu? I have to see it. ”
Liu Bei hadn't talked to Zhang Fei about Liu Ye before, but seeing that Lu Su and Long Xiang were so respectful, Zhang Fei guessed that this person had some skills, and immediately sighed that his people and human experiences were different.
The eldest brother has been floating for half his life, and after he was still King Jing of Zhongshan, he has not met a mastermind for so many years; Long Xiang has just turned twenty, and he is not from a prominent background at all, but he got two masterminds at once, and it is unbelievable to say it.
Long Xiang saw Zhang Fei bowing his head and pondering, but he didn't tell him Liu Ye's true identity, the gold content of the Han clan was much purer than Liu Bei.
After the joint solution of Long Xiang and Lu Su, Zhang Fei settled in Hefei in a down-to-earth manner.
When it rained, Zhang Fei drank and chatted with people in the Junma Mansion, and Liu Ye's conversation and wisdom made him admire; Tianqing went out with Long Xiang to supervise the construction of beacon towers and outposts.
Hefei's unique cement and unique craftsman camp ensure the speed and quality of construction.
Long Xiang started from the ash laying bricks, and began to teach the bridge man civil engineering, Zhang Fei, who watched the observation, was amazed, and said that Long Yunqi was proficient in construction.
The men were busy outside during the day, and Xiahou Juan did not sit in the room, and Long Xiang greeted Chen in advance, and she was often invited to the back house as a companion.
Xiahou Juan lost her father at an early age, although she was later adopted by Xiahou Yuan, but her life was also poor and simple, and she arrived in Hefei with Zhang Fei, but because she was young, Zhang Fei had a close relationship with Long Xiang, and the mother and daughter of the Qiao family took good care of her.
In addition to chatting with several women, Chen taught her how to teach her husband and children, Qiao Wei exchanged needlework skills with her, and Qiao Wan taught her how to make noodles...
Forced to leave his hometown, Xiahou Juan felt the long-lost family affection.
Long Xiang's experience in the past few years, from the mouth of the Qiao sisters, heard Xiahou Juan envy and emotion, she relayed it to Zhang Fei at night, and both husband and wife were full of praise for Long Xiang, and even had the idea of marrying a baby.
During this time, Shouchun had information transmitted back every few days.
At first, it was mostly news from the north of the Lujiang River, and Chen Lan, Mei Cheng and other forces swayed left and right between Yan Xiang and Li Shu, and did not substantially fall to either side.
In mid-April, news of the Yellow River battlefield slowly appeared, including Guan Yu beheading Yan Liang on Baima, so angry that Zhang Fei didn't eat for a day.
Cao Cao won two battles in Baima and Yanjin, but he took the initiative to move the battle line back to Guandu, and started a long confrontation with Yuan Shao, and the battlefield news came to a standstill again.
On the fifth day of the first month of May, the season is approaching Xiaoman, and Hefei is raining heavily.
During the rainstorm, the farmers rested and the craftsmen stopped working.
Long Xiao was idle, invited the Chinese martial arts of the city, gathered in the military Sima Mansion, and drank and feasted with the crowd.
During the banquet, when talking about the battle of Yuan Cao, everyone did not understand why Cao Cao retreated victoriously, and why he chose the battlefield to Guandu, which was very close to Xu.
Long Xiang immediately asked Master Lu to solve everyone's doubts, but Lu Su showed humility and gave Liu Ye the opportunity to perform.
The atmosphere among the officials in Hefei was harmonious, and it was very different from the bad situation in Lujiang, and Liu Ye left the table and stood up with feelings.
"Yuan Shao is strong, Cao Cao is weak, Hebei is abundant, Henan is less grain, this is well known, and there are many ferries in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, Cao Cao is guarding the Yellow River with inferior troops, it is unrealistic to completely hold it, retreating to Guandu can not only shorten his own grain route, but also extend Yuan Shao's supply line, which is a double win."
"Well said sir."
Zhang Fei was the first to stand up in support.
Liu Ye nodded lightly, and added: "Although I haven't been to Guandu, I can guess that the terrain there is more dangerous, and Cao Cao has few soldiers who can only defend but not attack, and it is inevitable to take advantage of the geographical advantage." ”
"Doesn't Yuan Shao also have a strategist? Why did Cao Cao retreat to Guandu and he had to follow? It's completely possible to bypass the dangerous place of Guandu..."
Hao Meng is the general who has experienced the most battles in Hefei except Zhang Fei, and the question he raised at this time is also the question that the generals want to ask the most.
"Well..."
Seeing Liu Ye's hesitant frowning, Lu Su took out a map from his arms and took over the topic: "Because Yuan Shao didn't have a choice." ”
Some people died, but not completely......
