Xiang'an belongs to Lujiang County, located in the southeast of Chaohu Lake, is a small county in the northeast corner of the Lujiang River, where the population is not large, and it is not inconspicuous in itself, but the sudden appearance of a large number of troops, Li Shu's actions are interesting.

Li Shu was appointed as the Taishou of Lujiang and focused his main efforts on the southern part of Lujiang and the surrounding areas of Anhui County.

Since Sun Ce left only 3,000 garrisons, Li Shu intended to let the people of Shu County move south to prevent a conflict with Long Xiang, who had defeated Sun Ce.

And Long Xiang also moved all the people of Zhengbao in the south of Chaohu Lake to Hefei before Sun Ce attacked Hefei.

The two sides moved south and north, and the vast land south of Chaohu Lake, flat and fertile but uncultivated, became a strategic buffer zone overgrown with weeds.

Chaohu Lake, which is located in the middle of Huainan, is a natural dividing line, physically isolating the Lujiang River and Hefei.

Hefei's surveillance of the Lujiang River focused on Shu County in the south, and if it weren't for the accidental discovery of the fishing boats of the cavalry battalion, Li Shu's army would have almost avoided the surveillance.

Long Xiang was very sensitive to military movements around Chaohu, and while instructing the cavalry battalion to continue to monitor and report, he sent someone to invite Lu Su to come to the military Sima Mansion to discuss.

The envoy sent by Sun Quan to Xudu did not hear from him, and the imperial court did not send an edict of appointment, although many people had already called Long Xiang as the commander, but he was not in a hurry to change the door.

At this time, it is autumn, but the heat of midsummer has not subsided.

Zhang Fei did not have a training task during this time, and temporarily served as Long Xiang's guard.

Long Xiang designed and drew the new city in the mansion, and Zhang Fei stayed in the military Sima Mansion to cool off the summer.

Looking at those dense lines, with strange symbols marked on them, Zhang Fei's mind was like a mess.

was originally lazy and sluggish, but suddenly heard the emergency military situation, Zhang Fei stood up like an electric shock, and his spirit was full of energy.

"Yunqi, are you going to fight?"

"It depends on what Li Shu means, if you dare to come to Hefei and Junxuan, we should show our swords."

Sun Ce's attack on Hefei Longxiang could not hold out, which was a basic respect for the three words 'little overlord' and the disparity in strength.

If a cat or dog like Li Shu brought thousands of people to provoke, Long Xiang didn't mind letting him have a long memory.

In addition, this summer's temperature is far higher than in previous years, and the high temperature has caused a significant reduction in grain production, and Hefei has even eaten some old books.

It was the autumn season for planting seedlings, and Long Xiang did not want the impact of war to delay farming.

Zhang Fei came to Hefei for a few months, and for the first time he saw Long Xiang so domineering.

After being stunned for a moment, he nodded in affirmation: "Well said, the sword should be shown, the sword should be shown, people in the world bully the soft and fear the hard, I can't wait until the end of the autumn planting, and I don't know how many soldiers I can recruit." ”

"Jun Yu now has a total of less than 10,000 households, it would be good to be able to recruit one or two thousand, Yide, you don't have too little..."

Zhang Fei had been to Junqiu and knew in his heart that there were not many people there, and thousands of poor people were moved to Tuntian in Hefei by Long Xiang, so more than 1,000 people could meet his psychological expectations.

After all, more than a thousand people couldn't fight, so Zhang Fei smiled and asked Long Xiang to discuss.

"Yunqi, I look at the people outside Hefei, it is estimated that they have exceeded the total population of Junqiu, can't you let me pick some in Hefei? It takes too long to build a new city, don't rush it..."

Long Xiang said earnestly: "It is easy to recruit soldiers and difficult to raise soldiers, and it is not a problem to recruit 20,000 young men outside the city, but the key is that they kill the enemy with a knife, who will take a hoe to farm?" You can't go out and grab food without food, can you?

Today's harvest is poor, generally after the drought there will be a big flood, the next year is unlikely to be a good year, although there is grain in the Hefei official warehouse, we have to live in a planned way..."

"Hehe, I didn't think about it that much..."

Zhang Fei scratched his head and smiled: "In Xuzhou before, the eldest brother was worried about the grain and grass..."

Long Xiang Zhengse said: "Yide rest assured, Hefei can attract displaced people if there is food, there are still some days before you go to find the envoy, and you will be able to make up thousands of soldiers, we are not in a hurry." ”

"Okay." Zhang Fei bowed slightly.

After Long Xiang comforted Zhang Fei, he turned around and went to find out the map of Huainan, spread it on the table and wait for Lu Su.

Not long after, Lu Su hurriedly entered the palace and entered the palace.

He bowed briefly to Long Xiang and Zhang Fei, and then sat down at the table where the map was spread.

As soon as Lu Su sat down, Long Xiang asked like a cannon: "Zijing, what do you mean by Li Shu?" How could he send troops to Xiang'an for no reason? Is it possible to hit Liyang in the north? ”

"How many people are there?" Lu Su didn't answer directly.

Long Xiang shook his head slightly: "Our patrol ship is far away, and we haven't counted it for the time being, but it is roughly estimated to be several thousand." ”

"Thousands? If you go to Liyang... Why not take the waterway? Impossible..."

Lu Su asked and answered himself, and then pointed to the map and added: "Yunqi, you look carefully, don't look at the large area of Lujiang County, but half of the west is mountains, and the north is occupied by Chen Lan, Lei Xu and others;

Li Shu actually controls only the south of the Lujiang River, the narrow area between the two mountain ranges, if he attacks Liyang and openly breaks with Jiangdong, even if he takes it, he will definitely not be able to hold it, Liyang is too far away from Anhui County..."

Long Xiang nodded and agreed: "Zijing's analysis is very reasonable, but since he didn't go to Liyang, he wouldn't be full of food and go to Xiang'an to play, right?" ”

"I can't guess Li Shu's intentions, in short, Sun Ce's tens of thousands of people can't beat Hefei, and his thousands of people won't hit stones with eggs..."

Lu Su stopped halfway through his words, and suddenly exclaimed: "I once talked to Zhang Zibu, Sun Ce only left 3,000 soldiers for Li Shu last year, and now there are thousands of people in Xiang'an, Li Shu's behavior is really incredible..."

Long Xiang hypothetical: "Maybe there was a sudden increase in troops? In the past two months, many displaced people fled to Anhui County on the other side, and Li Shu had the basis for increasing his troops. ”33

Lu Su asked without hesitation: "If Li Shu suddenly increases his troops, where will his military rations come from?" Sun Ce had already cleaned up the Lujiang River last year..."

"Military rations..."

Long Xiang frowned and groaned, and continued to hypothesize: "Could it be that the Jiangdong refugees brought it?" ”

"Displaced people with military rations? Yunqi, do you really dare to think that they can't eat enough themselves, and it's good if they don't eat Lujiang's grain, how can they send it to Li Shu? ”

Zhang Fei listened for a long time, and finally got into the topic.

Lu Su was originally holding his beard, but his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately looked at Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "Yunqi's assumption is likely to be true, those displaced people have fled to Jiangbei in an organized manner, and there must be Jiangdong insiders to provide convenience, and it is understandable to provide some military rations." ”

Zhang Fei frowned and sighed: "It seems that Jiangdong is really suffering from internal and external troubles, and Sun Quan's house is really miserable." ”

Long Xiang didn't respond to Zhang Fei, but continued to ask Lu Su: "Since the grain has a source, it is already reasonable for Li Shu to increase his troops, Zi Jing guess what he wants to do?" The march was silent. ”

"Li Shu's move is unreasonable, you can only wait and see first, and then let the sentry continue to monitor and reconnoitre."

"Zijing rest assured, Cao Xing has experience."

Long Xiang bowed slightly, and suddenly asked again: "Will Li Shu come to Hefei or Junxuan?" ”

"The number of this partial division is too small, Yunqi can send people to the direction of Shu County to monitor, if there are additional troops in the future, it is possible."

After Lu Su finished speaking, he waved his hand and replied firmly: "It's even more unpleasant, it's impossible..."

Some people died, but not completely......
