Xiahoudun and Sun Quan are half a catty, and Long Xiang has unilateral bias towards Shouchun because he has had the experience of defending the city.

There are examples of Zhou Yu besieging Nanjun, Zhuge Liang besieging Chencang, and Jiangdong's repeated failed sieges of Hefei, Long Xiang did not believe that Sun Quan could create surprises.

Some young people are high-spirited and instructive, while many more are defeated by reality.

The young Sun Quan also needs to know himself through reality.

Long Xiang accurately deduced that Sun Ce was dead, so Lu Su did not rule out his opinion, so he asked in a low voice: "Yunqi is not optimistic about Sun Quan, so what should we do?" ”

"We can't help, we can't help, Sun Cao's two families are good for the envoy, let's pay attention to the construction of the new city now, first build the cement factory, brick factory, etc., and the strategic reserves such as granaries and weapons to defend the city must also start preparing at the same time."

"As soon as Shouchun fights here, Uncle Huang will also make a move in Runan." Lu Su frowned: "Yunqi is so nervous, are you defending against Cao Cao or Sun Quan?" ”

Long Xiang replied: "Both, relying on outsiders has always been unreliable, Shouchun this battle opens, Huainan will not be peaceful in the future, with the strategic location of Hefei, it must be impossible to stay out of the matter, it is better to take precautions than to sharpen guns in battle." ”

Lu Su bowed: "The scale of the new city is several times that of the old city, even if all the people in the old city are moved, the population is far from being filled, I see that you are not in a hurry to build residential areas, do you have any plans?" ”

Long Xiang nodded and replied: "The construction of the new city is like a blank sheet of paper, I plan to draw this blueprint slowly, and I will not be in a hurry to build it in an all-round way, but the yamen and market of the old city will be moved there first, and then gradually guide the people to move to the new city, and finally let the old city only retain a garrison army, and the army's dependents live in it, so that it will become the vice city of the new city." ”

"One new and one old, the two can be horns, such a fortification is good, the Jiangdong ministers are all ambitious, it seems that you really plan to take root here."

Seeing Lu Su nodding and quipping, Long Xiang responded bitterly: "Actually, it's the same everywhere I go, it's still the sentence 'This place of peace is my hometown', before you don't have a momentum, I can only be a villain with no ambitions, and it's good for me, Hefei, and Yu."

"This place of peace is my hometown, and it's a good sentence."

When Lu Su sighed, he suddenly remembered the battle in Shouchun, so he asked: "Sun Quan's attack on Shouchun is imminent, do you want to let the cavalry battalion send additional sentries so that we can control the battle situation ahead?" ”

"Don't." Long Xiang hurriedly waved his hand: "The original sentinel has also withdrawn, don't let Sun Quan eat deflated when the time comes, but it will be the Hefei sentinel interference." ”

"Didn't you pay the most attention to intelligence before? Why today" Lu Su stroked his beard and stared at Long Xiang in surprise.

Long Xiang smiled knowingly: "The Jiangdong supply ship is going to pass from Shishui, I will send people to build a few more rest docks along the coast, and it will not be easy to set up some information at that time?" ”

Lu Su raised his eyebrows, raised his index finger and shook it, and boasted: "Yunqi is really leaking."

"Let's dance on the tip of our knives, and we'd better be cautious."

"Hmm."

When Long Xiang and Lu Su combined, the Jiangdong warships went north along the river and went ashore in the waters of Shouchun to assemble.

Due to the number of warships in Jiangdong was thousands, there were not enough places to stop ships in the waters of Shouchun, so after the soldiers on the ships landed, Sun Quan accepted Xu Kun's suggestion and let most of the warships return south to Shaobi to anchor, and Shaobi also became the granary of the army.

Qianfan broke the waves in the water and was aggressive, and the soup was like a behemoth.

At that time, Xiahoudun was inspecting the paddy field, he only began to plant seedlings after the mango planting, the seedling growth cycle was nearly 20 days later than the season, I thought that it could not be planted normally, but thanks to the suitable soil and water in Huainan, the late rice also entered the heading period.

The excitement was rushing upward, but it was suddenly suppressed by the scout's early warning, and when he learned that the Jiangdong army was about to live in the spring, Xiahoudun sighed that he had worked in vain in the past two months.

Xiahoudun immediately returned in a panic, and entered the city to find that the captain Qin Yi had been deploying city defenses, and the suspension bridge and city gate on the east side of Shouchun City were also hoisted and closed with his return.

When they came to the city gate tower, Liu Fu and Qin Yi were all waiting for them.

Xiahoudun nodded slightly, stood straight forward near the city wall, raised his eyes to look south, and saw that the Jiangdong army was slowly approaching, and it was easy to calculate the number of enemy troops.

Seeing the 40,000 army pressing the border, Xiahou frowned into a Sichuan character.

"What Yuan Ying (Liu Fu) said is not bad, Sun Quan really has bad intentions"

Liu Fu heard Xiahou Dun's emotion, and hurriedly stepped forward to admonish: "General Yuanrang, Sun Quan is well prepared and menacing, and Shouchun only has five or six thousand defenders, do you want to ask Xu Du for help?" ”

Xiahoudun shook his head slightly: "Mengde's main force went to Hebei, Xu didn't have any generals left, the only one who can fight is Yu Ban, and we can't leave our posts without permission, we can only try our best to defend, and if we can't hold it, we can do it again." ”

"Oh good."

Liu Fu originally wanted to say that there were many soldiers in Jiangdong, and the Shouchun defenders were mainly Tuntian soldiers, and wanted to persuade Xiahoudun not to hold on, but in the end he couldn't say it.

Xiahoudun saw that Liu Fu's thin face was bloodless, thinking that the other party was frightened by Sun Quan's army, so he relieved and said: "Yuan Ying don't worry, don't look at my soldiers who have been in Tuntian all year round, but they have also fought with Meng Denan many times in the north, and it is definitely not something that the Jiangdong rats can provoke, I and Captain Qin are responsible for commanding and defending the city, and the dispatch of materials in the city will be handed over to you." ”

Liu Fu bowed his hand and replied sonorously: "Don't worry, general, this is my business." ”

Sun Quan led his army to the city, and it was noon when the sun was scorching the earth, and the Xiahou banner on the city wall was drooping, without a hint of breeze to cool down.

The Art of War: Vigorous, lazy during the day, and return at dusk.

Although the soldiers came by boat, they were tired at noon, and it was not a good time to attack.

Sun Quan asked Xu Kun to hold down the position, and he led a team of followers to approach.

Walking closer, Sun Quan looked up and saw the one-eyed man in the city, guessed that this person was the waste Xiahoudun, and motioned to the general Ji Ling to come forward and persuade him to surrender.

Ji Ling stepped forward with a horse, grabbed the reins with his left hand to stabilize the horse, and pointed at the city with a knife in his right hand and shouted angrily: "Xiahou Dun, Wu Hou is edicted to beg for thieves, and you can avoid death by offering the city early, if you resist the soldiers of King Qinwang of Jiangdong, Lujiang Li Shu will be your end." ”

Cao Cao and Yuan Shu fought many times, and Xiahoudun and Ji Ling were also old acquaintances.

When Xiahou saw that Ji Ling persuaded Sun Quan to surrender on behalf of Sun Quan, he taunted: "Edict? Ji Ling, your brain is broken? Yuan Shu has been dead for two years, and Shouchun does not belong to the so-called Zhong family, you have to give Yuan Shuqin King, don't you just wipe your neck yourself? ”

"Hmph."

Ji Ling's face did not change, and he replied with a cold snort: "Cao Cao used power to bully the king, everyone should be punished, my lord was ordered by the Son of Heaven, and he marched into the army to break the thief and the king, is it too late for you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" ”

"Abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Learn from you Ji Ling? ”

Xiahoudun looked disdainful: "You used to follow the wrong Yuan Shu, and now you have switched to Jiangdong Xiao'er, if you can't use your good eyes, just rip it out yourself."

"Oh? So, you hate to be blind and follow Cao Cao, so you cut it yourself? ”
