"The last general can simply infer the strength of the enemy based on his eyes alone, Sun Quan's martial arts will be inferior to Sun Ce, what does the general say about him." Seeing Xu Chu stop abruptly, Long Xiang and Lu Su glanced at each other and explained with a smile: "If you talk about being brave and ruthless, of course Sun Quan is not as good as his brother, but in terms of acting calmly, Sun Quan is ten times better than Sun Ce, and this kind of person who is not good at acting is very difficult to deal with."

"Oh," Xu Chu nodded as if he didn't understand. Lu Su was very disgusted with Sun Quan at this time, but he agreed with Long Xiang's judgment very much, he took over the topic and reminded in a whisper: "Although Sun Quan is young, but the city is very deep, Jiangdong is anxious to be difficult to figure out, Yunqi promised to dig the two rivers for it, and the Jiangdong warships can easily enter the Huaishui, if Sun Quan takes advantage of the Yuan Cao family to compete for the north into the Central Plains, maybe he will become a profiteering, this matter is better to be pushed away."

"Push it off?" Long Xiang smiled bitterly: "The Jiangdong warship will not return after victory, and will stop on the south bank of the Yangtze River to rest, I am afraid that I should not do this today, and these ships will sail into Chaohu Lake." Lu Su must echo: "With Sun Quan's insidious character, it makes sense to understand it this way, Mei Cheng plundered Shouchun before, and then he Sun Quan slaughtered Anhui County, there have been wars everywhere in Huainan in the past two years, but we Hefei is relatively stable, and I am Sun Quan and can't tolerate you. But I don't understand why he only dares to show off his might, but he doesn't try it as a victorious master. ”

"Maybe I don't dare." Hearing Long Xiang's point of view, Lu Su said: "Judging from the conversation just now, Sun Quan acted quite decisively, and he definitely didn't look like a cowardly person, how could he not dare?" ”

"I don't dare, not simply refers to courage, but Sun Quan has scruples, Sun Ce also took Lujiang River and then attacked Hefei last year, but unfortunately finally folded back, if Sun Quan attacked my Hefei, he must pay a big price, this price Sun Quan may not be willing to pay, especially the prestige that is difficult to obtain, in addition, Jiangdong is not only Li Shu, how dare Sun Quan stay away from Wu County for a long time?"

"That makes sense. There are a lot of children in the Sun family." Lu Su just figured it out, and his forehead was full of gloom again: "Yunqi, what are your plans for digging channels?" If Sun Quan meets the requirements, will it really be completed next spring? ”

"That's nature." Long Xiang must have said: "This year's Huainan drought, next year is likely to be waterlogged, build more flood channels, Hefei farmland is also more safe, the people outside the city continue to increase, if there is a natural disaster next year, the consequences are unimaginable" Lu Su thought about it, and reminded anxiously: "Although the idea of Yunqi dividing the flood is good, but the water and the water are out of the General Ridge together, how do you ensure that the flood of the water only goes to the water?" If the torrent of water comes to apply water, will it not be self-defeating? ”

"As the so-called water flows to a low place, only when the slope is adjusted when digging, it can naturally guide the flood water into the Huai." Long Xiang smiled confidently, and said in his heart that this is my specialty, and besides, the water is being carried out for dredging, as long as the water has a place to go, it will not flood the fields, and digging the Shi Wei Canal is the icing on the cake.

"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to control the water, and Yunqi has confidence that it is good, but it has only suffered the people along the river"

"Huh. How many people will be left in the north? Zijing doesn't have to worry about the sky, "Long Xiangxin said that benevolence and righteousness are not our main slogan, and it is the right thing to let the people of Hefei eat."

As the so-called dead friends do not die in the poor road, if the people along the river are affected, why don't they rush to Hefei to take refuge?

"Don't worry about it, if the Shiqi Canal is completed as scheduled, Sun Quan will have a water supply line, and it will not be a problem to occupy Shouchun in the north, and Hefei will be surrounded by Jiangdong at that time, I don't recommend completing it on time and in quantity" Lu Su was originally sad, and did not wait for Long Xiang to talk and offer a plan: "When asking Jiangdong for food and tools, why don't you deliberately ask for more?" But the quantity should be sufficient and reasonable, and Sun Quan should not feel excessive."

"Haha. Zijing doesn't need to worry, I will draw up the list of supplies to ensure that Sun Quan has nothing to say. Long Xiang paused with a smile and added meaningfully: "Even if Sun Quan is willing to be the wrongdoer, I have countless excuses to delay the construction period, and if the delay fails, I can still do it during the construction."

"How to do it" Lu Su saw Long Xiang's smug smile, and his sad mood was instantly replaced by curiosity.

"You can think of a way to find a way from the width and depth of the channel, who can see what is underneath the water?" Long Xiangxin said that I have experience in dealing with acceptance, and there is a reasonable explanation if Sun Quan asks.

Lu Su frowned and asked, "If Jiangdong provides food and utensils as needed, aren't you worried about angering Sun Quan?" ”

"If we want to rush the work, how can the construction quality be guaranteed? Besides, there is a lot of sediment in the upper reaches of the river, and it is understandable that it sinks at the bottom of the river, and if there is any more rain to help, my reasons are even more sufficient."

"In the face of anger, what is the reason? Although Sun Quan doesn't know how to dig channels, it doesn't mean that no one in Jiangdong understands, and Yunqi had better think twice. Long Xiang was woken up by Lu Su, and then remembered that between himself and Sun Quan, it was not a simple Party A and Party B, but a huge disparity in population and resources, but he still kept smiling.

"Zi Jing is reasonable, even if I finish it with quality and quantity, Sun Quan may not be able to occupy Shouchun as he wishes." As soon as Long Xiang's words fell, Lu Su exclaimed: "You mean Cao Cao"

"Yes, yes." Long Xiang nodded affirmatively: "Although Yan Xiang was booby-trapped, is there no new history of assassination?" Although Cao Cao can't take care of Yangzhou, he won't allow Sun Quan to sit big" Lu Su said to himself: "I heard that Sun Quan and Li Shu both sent envoys to Xudu, but Cao Cao finally chose to watch the fire from the other side, and now that the war in Lujiang has ended, Cao Cao may have a move soon"

"Qin Yi went to Hefei a few times ago and witnessed Shouchun becoming an empty city, do you think he will tell Cao Cao? Shouchun is such a strategic place, even if Cao Cao does not send a large army to garrison it, one or two thousand defenders will always come out." When Lu Su heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "In vain, I still reminded you, but I forgot Cao Cao's stubble, just now Sun Quan also mentioned sending an envoy to report the victory, ashamed, ashamed."

"Zijing doesn't have to be like this, it's right to remind each other, Sun Quan's envoy has gone to Xudu, I expect that the new assassination history will come in the near future, and I don't know if he will come to Hefei"

"I guess the new thorn history will come to Hefei, the last time Qin Yi came to canonize is proof, Shouchun is now dilapidated, Hefei has become the largest city in Huainan, he can't say that this place is the state office."

"Won't it?"

"Then we'll see." On the way, Long Xiang had in-depth exchanges with Lu Su on the new history of thorns and the situation in Huainan, and soon after returning to Hefei, he completed the 'cost table' of the Shi Shu channel project.

A simple channel excavation project was dismantled into dozens of construction sub-projects by Long Xiang, calculating different amounts of personnel input, how much food and equipment resources need to be invested, and also giving the corresponding project progress.

Long Xiang gave Sun Quan a multiple-choice question, if you want to make fast progress, add money, and don't worry about progress if you want to save money. Sun Quan was taken aback when he received the cost list, and the Jiangdong ministers also opened their eyes, because Long Xiang was too professional, Sun Quan couldn't make up his mind for a while, he didn't want to be wronged, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity.

Just when Sun Quan hesitated and did not reply to the letter, Liu Fu secretly arrived in Hefei on a solo ride. After listening to Lu Su's report, Long Xiang's face that was originally looking forward to it suddenly collapsed, and Zhengse said: "This thorn history is fake. ”
