Chapter 193: Liu Ye offers a plan to take Jun Xuan
Zhou Yu was originally stationed in Luling Baqiu, and this time he led his troops thousands of miles to Wu Ben for funeral, which can only show that Sun Ce's death is not a misinformation.
Long Xiang was the most calm person in the palace, and when he heard that Sun Ce was injured by an arrow and died, he understood that the little overlord had not escaped history, and should have been assassinated by Xu Gong's disciples.
originally knew the content of the plot, but Long Xiang couldn't say it.
Seeing that everyone was still surprised, Long Xiang solemnly instructed Cao Xing: "Jiangdong except for Sun Ce, I'm afraid that no one is worthy of Zhou Lang's funeral, there is nothing to hide from this death, continue to inquire and you will be able to know the inside story, there have been many heavy rains in Huainan in the past few days, and the wind and waves on the river are relatively large, so I ask Liu Xingzuo to pay attention to safety."
"Yui." Cao Xuan clenched his fists sonorously.
"Yunqi, this is a great event, let people bring more wine, so that we can have a good time."
Lu Su and Liu Ye stayed because of the gambling contract, and when they got the news of Sun Ce's sudden death, it was the newcomer Zhang Fei who was the most excited, so that the two masterminds would not leave.
Long Xiang smiled and shook his head: "Wine can be drunk but not excessive, after all, fine water can flow for a long time, and Sun Ce's sudden death will have an impact on the situation in Jiangdong, and I don't know if Chen Deng will take advantage of the situation to cross the river, but I am afraid that Hefei will not be able to leave it alone..."
"Sun Quan suffered two defeats in Guangling at the beginning of the year, with the ability of this person, I am afraid that he will not be able to inherit Sun Ce's foundation, and if Jiangdong is unstable, the counties will inevitably be in turmoil. He has killed too much in Jiangdong over the years, and the general may be able to replace the Sun family."
"At that time, Jiangdong was divided, Liu Xuan, Wang Lang, Zhenrong, Zulang and others each had their own cities, but at this time the situation was very different, except for Lujiang Taishou Li Shu was not the Sun family, the rest of Wujun Taishou Zhu Zhi was Sun Jian's old department, Danyang Taishou Wu Jing was Sun Quan's uncle, Yuzhang Taishou Sun Ben, Luling Taishou Sun Fu was Sun Quan's brother, Yunqi wanted to learn from Sun Ce at this time, but he could take advantage of the opportunity of Jiangdong's power transfer to find a way to make more fuss in Huainan..."
After listening to Liu Ye and Lu Su's respective analysis, Long Xiang nodded at the two and gave a conclusion.
"The two gentlemen are right, but I am more inclined to Zijing's point of view, although Sun Quan is not as good as Sun Ce militarily, but he served as the county magistrate at the age of fifteen, and his political ability will definitely not be weak, it is very inappropriate to make enemies with Jiangdong at this time, and Huainan itself is not peaceful, and the deployment of troops to attack Jiangdong will make Hefei empty..."
Zhang Fei asked nonchalantly: "I see that the city of Hefei is strong, and it shouldn't take many defenders to defend it alone, so you can leave Xu Zhongkang in Hefei to defend the city, and I will go to Jiangdong with you to fight."
Long Xiang frowned and replied: "The territory of several counties in Jiangdong is vast, and it can be defeated overnight, so we have to prepare warships, grain and grass. In addition, if the new tuntian is opened in the upper reaches of the water, if the protection of the garrison in Hefei is lost, these fertile fields may be a disaster for others, and I only have a city in Hefei, which is not as great as the great cause of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's family, if I lose, there will be nothing..."
"What a great opportunity—" Zhang Fei shook his head and sighed.
Lu Su came forward to explain for Long Xiang: "Yunqi's character is like this, he is too stable and unwilling to take risks, but his worries are not wrong, now he does have worries about fighting Jiangdong, Yan Xiang and Li Shu have been coveting Hefei for a long time, once Hefei's defensive strength is unbalanced, they will definitely come to the surrounding disturbances, even if they can't break the city, they will destroy production, and our foundation is thin and can't withstand tossing."
Long Xiang looked at Feng Zhong, Tang Yu and the others and smiled bitterly: "My caution they know best, they don't want to take risks because they really don't have it, it was too difficult to live a stable life in the past, who is willing to destroy it?" Even if you plot against Huainan, you have to think twice, if Huainan fights in a mess, maybe he will marry someone else."
"Well, the general is thoughtful, in addition to the two major forces of Li Shu and Yan Xiang in Huainan, there are also Chen Lan, Lei Xu, Mei Cheng and other rogue heroes, Hefei is in the center of Huainan, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at..."
Liu Ye stroked his long beard for a moment, and then began to offer a plan: "Sun Ce died suddenly, Guangling Chen Deng may make a move, at this time, it is okay not to send troops to Jiangdong, you can see Sun Quan's reaction first, in addition, Liu Zong has sent people to show goodwill many times, why don't the generals take the opportunity to take Junyu County?" It's easier to capture a city outright than to build one."
As soon as Long Xiang heard the reason, he turned his head to ask Lu Su for advice: "What does Zijing think?"
Lu Su replied affirmatively, "Jun Xuan
It is less than 100 miles away from Hefei, and taking this city can not only be used as horns with Hefei, but also the three counties of Liyang, Fuling, and Quanjiao in the east can also plan to take it, and Yunqi will be qualified to compete with Yan Xiang and Li Shu for Huainan with the population and money and grain of these five counties."
"That's right, as long as Chen Deng can pose a threat to Sun Quan, Wu Jing's hand will not be able to reach Liyang, and if he can take Liyang, then Fuling and Quanjiao will not be far away." Liu Ye agreed.
Long Xiang nodded in affirmation, and said to the generals in the hall in a serious manner: "What Zijing and Ziyang said is very good, all the governors are mentally prepared, and when the information of Jiangdong is clarified, we will start to incorporate Junyu County, and I don't know if there will be a battle with Liu Zong, in short, strengthen training during this time, only by sweating more in peacetime, can we shed less blood in wartime."
"Yui."
In addition to Zhang Fei in the hall, the governor of the five battalions of Hefei and Hao Meng all faced Long Xiang at the same time and hugged their fists.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei also stood up, patted his chest and said, "I have a lot of trouble in Hefei, why don't you let me take down Jun Xuan for you?" If Liu Zong doesn't know the times, my snake spear will teach him to be a man."
"After all, Liu Zong is the county magistrate of Junxuan, and sending people to give gifts is to deter me from destroying Zheng Bao and defeating Sun Ce, but let him surrender the city for fear of reluctance, there are fewer troops in Hefei City, and there will inevitably be greater casualties in the storming of the city.
Long Xiang deliberately interrupted at the end of his words, and looked at Lu Su and Liu Ye intentionally or unintentionally, as if to say that Yu turned his tongue and said to descend Huaxin, do you have a way to say that he descended to Liu Zong?
The difficulty of attacking the city made Rao is Sun Ce and Zhou Yu deflated, and Long Xiang was deeply touched by this.
At this time, he was like a stingy old rich man, reluctant to spend Hefei's money, grain and soldiers to attack a small county town with a small population.
Liu Ye and Lu Su looked at each other and smiled, and said: "The general is quite famous in Huainan, and it is not difficult to take a small Junxuan, let's learn from Sun Ce's "salute first and then soldier", Ye is willing to say it for the general."
"That's very good..."
Long Xiang was overjoyed at first, then frowned again, and said worriedly, "If Liu Zong doesn't talk about martial arts and detains Ziyang in Jun Xuan as a hostage, then it will be troublesome... I have to let Zhong Kang bring someone with him, and I will lead the troops to meet him outside, so that nothing goes wrong."
"The general is really careful, but this is the best, if something happens in the middle, he will directly attack inside and outside." Liu Ye must be sure.
When Zhang Fei heard Long Xiang point at Xu Chu, he hurriedly pointed to himself and asked for help.
"What about me? Yunqi, don't forget Lao Zhang, I don't eat and live for nothing."
"Haha, Mr. Ziyang has a very high reputation, this battle may not be able to be fought, Yide can follow me outside if he wants to go."
"Oh good..."
