Qin Yi was intercepted by Xu Chu halfway, thinking that Long Xiang was going to come with him, and he was ready to move bricks and kilns on the way, so the tone of the meeting just now was rather blunt, but Long Xiang actually answered quickly.

Emotions fluctuated, Long Xiang promised and humbly begged for help, Qin Yi seemed to climb to a high point on a roller coaster, and his heart was entangled at the moment.

"General, please try to speak."

Long Xiang nodded in greeting, hugged his fists and replied: "It is reported that General Qin is in Shouchun, he should know the actual situation in Huainan, Sun He is currently leading troops to be stationed in Lujiang, even if the last general is appointed as a Taishou at this moment, the actual situation does not allow it."

"What do you mean by General Dragon?"

Qin Yi frowned, and said in his heart You were just playing with me?

Long Xiang's face was full of bitterness, and explained: "General Qin was once a general under Yuan Shu, and the people of Huainan are fierce, if he is an ordinary thief entrenched in Lujiang, I will not ask the court for help, but Sun He is the brother of Sun Quan, I formed a bond with Sun Ce the year before last, how dare I take the initiative to provoke Jiangdong now?" ”

"General Long, you might as well explain it."

Qin Yi heard Long Xiang complaining, and said in his heart that if he didn't accept the edict, he would let me go, what did he want to do?

Long Xiang replied with a smile: "Lujiang is in the hands of Sun He, please ask General Qin to withdraw his troops to Jiangdong in the name of the imperial court, so that the last general will dare to go to his post with peace of mind." ”

"What did you say?"

Qin Yi's eyes widened, he suspected that he had misheard, I had never seen such a brazen person.

"I heard that Sun Quan played Sun He as the Taishou, but the court rejected Sun Quan's performance, Sun He did not have an edict but occupied Lujiang, this is a disobedience to the decree, the court should drive away this thief at the moment, if Sun He continues to disobey, you can adjust the army to fight"

"You wait."

Before Long Xiang finished speaking, Qin Yi interrupted in a hurry: "Since Your Majesty has appointed the general as the Taishou of Lujiang, it is up to you to drive away the thieves, which is also the reason why Your Majesty takes a fancy to the general." ”

"That" Long Xiang paused, looked at Qin Yi and asked: "Since Your Majesty has taken a fancy to the last general, I don't know if there are any other things besides today's edict, such as soldiers, horses, money and food."

Soldiers, horses, money, food? Do you want to fart?

Qin Yi was speechless and snorted coldly: "I see that Hefei has a large population, and it seems that there is no need for the general to reach out to the imperial court."

"There are many people to lack food, and Hefei has few troops, and they are all rabble, how dare they go to Jiangdong Tiger Whiskers? If Long has the slightest way, he will definitely not ask the court for help."

Long Xiang took his expression just right, Qin Yi was almost frightened by him for a while, and when he stabilized his mind, he frowned and asked: "General Long is modest, in the past, he destroyed Zheng Bao and defeated Sun Ce, who dares to say that your subordinates are a rabble?" ”

"The last lucky victory, all rely on the city defense, I heard that Sun He has five thousand elites, Hefei will not be able to fight, General Qin is also a general with troops, when you know that the difference between attacking the city and defending the city is very big, I hope the general will see it." Long Xiang had already prepared his speech.

Qin Yi couldn't argue with Long Xiang, so he changed the topic: "General Long has a great relationship with Sun Zhongmou, maybe he can take over Lujiang smoothly and won't meet each other?" ”

Long Xiang pretended to be surprised, and vigorously denied it: "Can't it? How could I possibly have a relationship with Sun Quan? Someone must be spreading rumors."

"Oh?" Qin Yi smiled coldly, and said in his heart that your kid has a sharp mouth, but it can be regarded as letting me catch the handle, and then asked in a deep voice: "General Lingnan, what is the explanation of the excavated channel?" Sun Quan sent grain and utensils to Hefei, and dared to say that he was not digging channels for Jiangdong? ”

"Not really," Long Xiang shook his head.

Qin Yi saw that Long Xiang's mouth was stiff, and said coldly: "Since it is not entrusted by Jiangdong, why did General Long send people to dig channels?" Jiangjunling is dozens of miles away from Hefei, and those people who dig ditches under the mountain are not always playing, right? ”

Long Xiang Zhengse replied: "The excavation of the canal river is Hefei's own business, I heard that in previous years Huainan encountered heavy rain, the river flooded and easy to wash away the farmland, I was worried that the farmland on both sides of the water application was destroyed, deliberately dug the canal river to connect the water, to the upstream of the water for a simple diversion."

Well? It's all been done by him?

Qin Yi swallowed his saliva, he has been in Huainan for a few years, and he also has an understanding of the local weather, does he remember that there are often floods in various places, but at the same time, he slandered Longxiang to dig and divert the water, and said in his heart You let Shi Shui discharge the flood to go to the water, have you considered the farmland around Chengde?

After thinking about it, there are not many people left in the Shouchun and Chengde areas, and even if there is a flood, the loss is not big.

Qin Yi didn't want to be manipulated, and was still entangled in the relationship between Long Xiang and Sun Quan, and then asked: "Since the excavation of the canal river was done by Hefei, I don't know how you explain Jiangdong's funding?" I heard that Jiangdong is transporting grain and farm tools, and you say that you have no friendship? ”

"General Qin didn't know, Hefei raised a kind of fragrant pig last year, the meat is delicious and has no fishy smell, the end of the year to marry a wife has killed a few, coincided with Jiangdong sent an envoy to send a congratulatory ceremony, the envoy tasted it and was full of praise, Sun Quan learned that he let Hefei scale breeding, every year to Jiangdong to provide a thousand fragrant pigs, he sent food and related utensils, in fact, are used for pig breeding."

Long Xiang's nonsense came easily, he didn't believe that Qin Yi would confront Sun Quan.

Qin Yi listened incredibly, it was difficult for him to associate Long Xiang with pig raising, so he muttered: "Sun Quan asked you to raise pigs?" How could General Long agree to such a thing? ”

"Alas" Long Xiang sighed, "Sun Quan is more powerful than Sun Ce, General Qin should have heard about his slaughter of Lujiang last year?" People have to bow their heads under the eaves, how can I easily offend."

Seeing that Qin Yi was silent, Long Xiang continued to add: "There is one thing to say, our fragrant pig in Hefei, the meat quality is indeed different, and a banquet will be set up for the general to catch the wind, you will know if you taste it." ”

"Oh good."

Qin Yi replied smoothly, but quickly shut up.

He wanted to smack himself, and said that he had come with a mission, not to eat fragrant pork.

Qin Yi found that he couldn't say anything about Long Xiang, so he cleaned up his mood, held up the edict again, and asked desperately: "I'll talk about other things later, Qin is just a messenger of the edict, General Long, please give me an accurate word, do you accept this edict in my hand or not?" ”

"Pick it up." Long Xiang nodded with a straight face, and then added: "But I'm really in trouble, please don't ask the court to give some help." ”

Qin Yi snorted coldly: "What I said just now is complicated, how can you help?" I might as well keep it concise so that I can go back to my life. ”

"Good, good"

Long Xiang agreed, then raised three fingers and said: "At present, Sun He is entrenched in the Lujiang River, and if the last general wants to go to the post, he needs to clear the obstacles in Jiangdong. ”

"Tell me about it."

"Please send an envoy to the imperial court to order Sun He to take the initiative to withdraw from the Lujiang River, and if Sun He is edicted, it will be the best policy; If Sun He refuses to obey the edict, then ask the imperial court to send troops to rebel, which is the middle policy."

Seeing that Long Xiang finished talking about the two strategies, he actually whetted his appetite and didn't talk about the next strategy, Qin Yi frowned and asked, "What about the next strategy?" ”

"I know that the imperial court is fighting against Yuan Shao, if you really don't have time to worry about Huainan anti-thieves, you can allocate some soldiers, horses, money and food to the last general, and the last general is willing to contribute to the country to fight for the thief."
