Seeing Long Xiang's solemn look, Lu Su realized that the other party was not joking.

"I didn't hear that Gongjin was seriously ill, and now that he is young, he is gone, and I don't know if there will be turmoil in Jiangdong, even Yunqi didn't expect it, right?"

"I didn't expect it."

Long Xiang understood what Lu Su meant, and he hurriedly shook his head in denial, saying in his heart I can predict Sun Ce's early death, but I can't be sure when Zhou Lang will not be there.

After all, his own appearance has made a major change in the historical pattern.

Cao Cao delayed the time to unify the north, and Liu Bei changed his plan to divide the world into three parts, and there is a high probability that the Battle of Chibi will not occur.

Since there is a possibility that there is no battle of Chibi, what is the meaning of the existence of Zhou Yu in this plane?

Long Xiang remembered that in history, Zhou Yu and Cao Ren fought for Nanjun, and finally died inexplicably after being wounded by an arrow, but it was really surprising that he died so early.

Lu Su bowed his head and said: "Gong Jin's talent is the best in Jiangdong, his death is a loss to Sun Quan, but it is helpful for us to seek Jiangdong, from now on Hefei has one less strong enemy, now Jiangdong is out of command, internal chaos is inevitable, I can use the excuse to have a friendship with Gong Jin, cross the river to hang filial piety to explore the truth and prepare for the future troops." ”

"No need."

Long Xiang shook his head and explained: "Zijing doesn't know, Jiangdong is not chaotic at the moment, Sun Quan personally rushed to Chaisang, and asked the rear to continue to allocate grain and grass, it is estimated that there are new moves"

After listening to it, Lu Su twisted his beard and analyzed: "Yao Xuan said that Gongjin returned to Wu a few days ago, followed by the preparation of grain and grass in various places, it seems that Jiangdong's military plan has been planned for a long time, I heard that Jingzhou suffered a flood last month, but I am afraid that they will still attack Jiangxia." ”

Hearing this, Long Xiang suddenly frowned and asked, "Do you think Zhou Yu will cheat to death?" ”

"Why do you want to cheat to death?" Lu Su looked puzzled.

Long Xiang said: "If it weren't for the collective rebellion in Shanyue last year, Shaxian City might have been broken, and Zhou Lang might be paralyzing Huang Zu?" ”

"Makes sense, too."

Lu Su nodded affirmatively: "The more Jiangdong uses troops against Jingzhou, the more beneficial it will be for us, and once the Yangtze River defense line is extended, it will be more conducive for us to fight to the other side." ”

Long Xiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "With the power of Hefei to take Jiangdong, I think it is still too reluctant now, and Tai Shici is guarding Liyang, we can't build warships and train the navy in Chaohu, once Zhou Yu leads the navy to cut off the retreat, the people who cross the river can't return it." ”

Lu Su echoed: "So your previous plan was very good, first find a way to win Tai Shici, and then the order of breaking with Jiangdong cannot be changed." ”

"Alas"

Long Xiang sighed: "Although Zhao Fan has a good impression of us, Tai Shici is still reluctant to make in-depth contact, so that Jun and the military advisor will not let us make trouble, there is no way to attract Zhang Liao to fight with him, and we will not be able to benefit from the fisherman, unless Sun Quan treats him lightly and has a dislike, it will be difficult to achieve this matter."

Lu Su smiled and comforted: "Yunqi, don't be discouraged, I believe you have good luck, what if Gong Jin really dies violently?" ”

"Even if Zhou Lang is really not there, the current Jiangdong Navy is very strong, I am afraid that it is difficult to meet opponents in the world, if I don't solve this trouble, it will be difficult for me to make up my mind to cross the river to fight." Long Xiang's serious expression was maintained.

Lu Su thought about it for a while, and suddenly had an idea: "Since the Jiangdong Navy is invincible in the world, why does Yunqi need to fight with them for a long time?" We should play to our strengths. ”

"Our strengths? That is to defend the city, but the walls cannot be moved."

Long Xiang shook his head when he thought of this, and said in his heart that it would be easy if he played the game, I could use the tactic of stacking turrets, and the problem was much more complex in the real world than in the game.

Lu Su smiled: "Our advantage is not only to defend the city? Although the combat effectiveness on land was not as good as Cao's army, it was not weaker than Jiangdong's infantry cavalry, especially General Xu's Tiger Guard. ”

Last year, after the end of the struggle between Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, Long Xiang restructured and expanded the five battalions under his command into six armies, but in order to prevent the blind expansion from causing the heavy load on Hefei, the number of places directly given for the expansion of the army was small.

More often than not, the battalions were separated and then reorganized and merged into the new army.

Chen Lan's 10,000 troops were divided into two, and he and Lei Xu served as generals respectively; The original strength of the city defense battalion remained unchanged, and the specifications were directly upgraded to the city defense army, and the old and new cities were served by Feng Zhong and Tang Yu as generals; Xu Ding, Cao Xing, and Liu Fu were combined into an army; Only Xu Chu's Tiger Guard battalion was expanded to 5,000 people, and then formed an army called the Tiger Guard.

Long Xiang has been in Huainan for many years, and has set up a narrow-minded and unwilling to expand character, so even if there is an offensive force of 20,000 people, the neighbors Zhang Liao and Tai Shici don't know about it.

When it comes to the Tiger Guards, Long Xiang is proud.

Based on the more than 1,000 parts brought out by Xu Chu, it is not a problem to train a team with strong combat power, Xu Chu once won the victory of Han Hao outside Xujia Village, as long as the original veterans are not defeated, the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Guards will always be maintained.

It's just that Hefei has few war horses and no warships, and Long Xiang feels that relying on the Tiger Guards alone is not enough.

Seeing Long Xiang frowning and pondering, Lu Su couldn't help but remind: "Yunqi, have you forgotten that we have a clairvoyant mirror?" Even in the field, there is a great advantage, the total number of troops in Jiangdong is more than ours, but the combat effectiveness is not flattering, as long as they are led to fight on land, I am still very confident of victory. ”

"Zijing is good if he has faith." Long Xiang asked: "It's okay for me to command a few thousand people, but I'm not good at too many, the key is how to lure the enemy ashore?" ”

Lu Su said with a smile: "I can't talk about war on paper, I can only adapt measures to local conditions and time conditions, and then use strategy and tactics, in short, first find out the situation in Jiangdong." ”

"It's okay, I have to let Yao Xuan continue to investigate, if Zhou Yu really dies violently, the people he has secretly developed in the past two years can be slowly used" Long Xiang thought thoughtfully.

Lu Su nodded and agreed: "Taking advantage of Jiangdong's internal and external troubles, Yunqi will definitely be able to achieve great achievements, and when the time comes, Uncle Huang will seize Guanzhong, and we will echo each other in Yangzhou, and the revival of the Han family is expected." ”

Long Xiangxin said that Liu Bei invited Kong Ming in advance, and I helped contain Cao Cao in Huainan, and the success rate of reviving the Han dynasty was greatly improved.

According to the current situation, Zhuge Liang set the strategy of occupying Handong first and then taking Guanzhong, and now it is slowly being implemented as planned.

Two months ago, Long Xiang asked Xu Wei to secretly send the clairvoyant mirror, which should be the icing on the cake, and now his attention is all on Jiangdong.

No matter in terms of population, troops, and generals, Hefei's volume is much smaller than that of Jiangdong, and he can't be as worryless as Sun Ce, and he swept all the way with his troops.

Hefei has a family member, and he also has his own wife and children, so as long as the conditions are not mature enough, Long Xiang will definitely not break with Sun Quan easily.

At the end of July, when Jiangdong was besieging Shaxian with heavy troops, Yao Xuan sent the news of Zhou Yu's burial and brought a piece of good information to Long Xiang.
