Chapter 244: Uncle Huang asks for a plan
Under the wave of Long Xiang's hand, Zhang Fei and Xu Chu fell off the horse in front of the shed, both of them were people with broad bodies, and they were like a hill together.
Since the beginning of the year, both officials and ordinary people in Hefei have moved, and Zhang Fei, who is a guest, is no exception.
Hefei New Town, Shi Wei Canal started construction at the same time, farmers were busy with spring plowing on both sides of the water, Jiangdong envoys also came when they were fine, Long Xiang was worried that there were many people, Zhang Fei's identity would be discovered, so he asked him to take the recruits to Jun Yu County for training.
So when Long Xiang saw the two generals walking side by side, he greeted him and asked curiously, "When did you come together?" ”
"You come on" Zhang Fei has always been unkempt, his jagged beard is covered with raindrops, and he wipes his face with his big hands while motioning for Xu Chu to answer.
Xu Chu took a step forward, leaned forward slightly, and whispered, "Xu Wei, they're back."
"Xu Wei?" Long Xiang's eyes widened, thinking that Zhang Fei was in such a hurry, there must be news of Liu Bei, so he asked in a deep voice: "Is there news from Runan?" ”
"Hmm" Xu Chu bowed his head slightly, and continued to lower his voice: "Uncle Huang is near Pingyu, and he has sent Sun Qiantong to fatten, and he is currently settled in the post house."
"Oh?" Long Xiang was delighted to hear this, and looked at Zhang Fei to confirm: "The envoy sent Gongyou to come first, could it be that he will arrive later?" ”
"Big brother has other ideas, Yunqi put down the work in his hand and go back with me to see Gongyou." Seeing Zhang Fei frowning and shaking his head, Long Xiang's heart sank instantly, and he said in his heart, "What about making you still entangled in virtue and gain?"
He didn't hesitate for a moment, turned sideways and immediately instructed Lei Xu: "Yuanduan, this rain is intermittent and may stop at any time, you will inspect the whole line on my behalf, and workers are not allowed to dig in the rain." ”
"The last general commands." Lei Xu clenched his fists in response, and immediately reminded: "I'm going to Hefei for dozens of miles, and the general is sure to go back in the rain?" Beware of getting cold."
"It's okay, I'm hard." Long Xiang patted his chest, turned to Xu Chu and said, "You should stay in Hefei and send someone to inform you, why bother to come over and drench in this rain."
"The end will be." Xu Chu was about to explain, but Zhang Fei took over: "I asked him to come with me, how can outsiders do our best?" What if you wait until the evening to come back? I've been waiting for this news for almost a year, where can I sit still."
"I knew it." Long Xiang smiled bitterly, pointed in the direction of Hefei and said, "Since this is the case, let's set off quickly." ”
"That's what I'm waiting for." Seeing Zhang Fei's refreshing answer, Xu Chu frowned and reminded: "At this time, the spring is cold and precipitous, and it is very easy to catch cold and diseases, do you want to find something to cover your head?" General Lei just reminded him that although Mr. Hua's family has received it, he himself has not yet come to Hefei, so it is best to be careful." Long Xiang shook his head and replied, "Where to find it in a hurry?" In fact, it is not difficult to prevent cold, let's go back to the city and drink some hot ginger water, or take a hot bath at night to warm up and prevent it. ”
"Prevention?" Xu Chu wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Zhang Fei in front of him, and muttered: "Yunqi has married two delicate wives, far better than us, what are you bothering about?" He can't freeze."
"Oh" Xu Chu nodded as if he had realized something, and Long Xiang smiled bitterly at Zhang Fei and shook his head: "Yide, you are not bad, let's go back to the city if we have something to say, now hurry up and hurry." ”
"Good." Zhang Fei took a few steps quickly, and then came to the front of the two to lead the way, Long Xiang's such understanding urging was in line with his quick temper.
Because Shi Shuqu was at the southern foot of the Jiangjun Mountains, the weather near the mountain range was different from that of the plains, and the three of them rode out less than five miles, and the dark clouds in the sky slowly disappeared, and the warm sun released heat through the gaps in the clouds.
Returning to Hefei in the afternoon, Long Xiang sent Xu Chu to invite Lu Su, and he and Zhang Fei went straight to the post house to see Sun Qian. Long Xiang made a brief understanding on the way, and learned that Liu Bei would most likely not come to Hefei, and he seemed to have something important to do in Runan, and Zhang Fei couldn't say the specific situation, but he was in a hurry to bring troops to help.
Before Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, Long Xiang went to Xiaopei to report to Liu Bei, and Sun Qian went out on a mission to run errands, so the two met for the first time, but fortunately Zhang Fei was the middleman.
Coming to the post house, Zhang Fei introduced Sun Qian to Long Xiang. After some greetings and compliments, Long Xiang asked straight to the point: "Shicai Yide told me that the envoy plans to do great things in Runan?" Not ready to come to Huainan? ”
"Hmm." Sun Qian's head explained: "The lord and Liu Pi failed in Runan last year, and Yuan Shao was also defeated in Guandu soon after returning to Hebei, and the internal situation in Hebei was very complicated, and the lord did not want to be involved in the battle, so he went to Jingzhou under the pretext of persuading Liu Biao to attack Cao, and took the opportunity to bring the generals out of Hebei. Long Xiang nodded and agreed: "Yuan Shao is indecisive, the elite of Hebei has lost all in Guandu, he wants to organize troops to go south again, I am afraid it will be quite difficult, so it is right for Jun to leave earlier." ”
"Hebei is strong, even if Guandu suffered a lot of losses, it did not hurt Yuan Shaogen, but he died in prison of Guandu and Tian Feng's suicide, it is not easy to boost morale, let alone integrate troops and materials, and then cross the Yellow River" Sun Qian shook his head lightly.
"In that case, the important matter of the envoy in Runan" Long Xiang wanted to say and stopped. Sun Gan replied: "Although the situation in Hebei is not good, Yuan Shao is still recruiting soldiers and intends to make a comeback this year. ”
"Trouble in Runan again? Does Liu Pi still have soldiers? Long Xiang frowned, looked at Sun Gan with a puzzled expression, Sun Qian said: "Although Liu Bi has no soldiers, he is familiar with Gong Du, the leader of the Yellow Turban in Runan, and he has gathered thousands of people in Runan, and the lord has sent Liu Pi to contact, I believe that he can persuade this person to help." ”
"Oh Gong Du" Long Xiang was a little impressed when he heard this name, but he was suspicious of the real historical events, and said in his heart that Liu Bei had rebelled twice in Runan?
There doesn't seem to be this in the TV series? When he was groaning, Long Xiang saw that Sun Qian wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked curiously: "The envoy is going to revolt in Runan, and he plans to go to Jingzhou to contact Liu Biao, it seems that he will not come to Huainan, Gongyou is here to find Yide this time?" ”
"Both." Sun Qian nodded and added: "The lord started an incident in a hurry last year, but he didn't want to be defeated by Cao Ren, so he wanted to be fully prepared this time, and specially sent me to Hefei to ask for a plan, and wanted to ask Mr. Lu to plan and plan." ”
"Ask? Very good. Long Xiang asked and answered himself, and said that Liu Bei knew that asking was a great progress, and he turned to Zhang Fei and said: "Yide stayed with Gongyou to catch up with him, and I will go to Zijing to discuss first." ”
"Mr. Sun has been tired all the way, I don't want to disturb his rest, I want to go with you to ask for advice." Zhang Fei was afraid that Long Xiang would leave, so he stood up first.
"Winged is also interested in strategy?" Long Xiang was stunned, and then hugged his fists and asked Sun Gan to resign: "We may talk at night, Gongyou's reception banquet may need to be postponed, you stay in the post house to rest first, and Yide and I will leave." ”
"What are you talking about? The lord is still anxiously waiting for the letter in Runan, and it is important for you to go and do business. ”
