Lu Su pretended to be surprised: "How could it be? I've been there twice and it should be good."

"Huh."

Zhao Fan smiled bitterly: "Wu Jun's dishes are good, but how can we, the martial artists who guard the border, have the opportunity to enjoy the same food?" ”

"I see."

At the same time as Lu Su responded, Long Xiang waved his hand and said proudly: "People say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, Bochang and Ziyi are my friends, you can come to Hefei more in the future, we have to get together once a month, and it is okay to add two pairs of chopsticks." ”

"If you inquire about your brother's whereabouts, Zhao Fan has nothing to repay, how can he have the face to eat and drink again?"

Zhao Fan picked up the wine utensils, drank it all towards Long Xiang, and then sighed: "For the sake of the generals, they want to share weal and woe with the soldiers, how can they secretly come to enjoy the food?" We can only appreciate the hospitality of Taishou. ”

Long Xiang echoed: "That's right, there are thousands of soldiers under Ziyi's command, and I really don't have the ability to invite them all, but it's still the same sentence just now, we are both neighbors and friends, and if you have difficulties, just open your mouth." ”

"Amount"

When Zhao Fan didn't know how to answer, Lu Su hurriedly took over the conversation: "Yunqi said cautiously, General Taishi is a general of Jiangdong, they have their backs to the mountain of Jiangdong, and they won't look for us if they have difficulties, otherwise what does Wu Hou think?" It is true that Liyang and Hefei are neighbors, but the other side of Liyang is Danyang, and Sun Taishou is not more effective than you? ”

Long Xiang pretended to be stunned, and secretly praised Zi Jingzhen for being able to speak, this is the so-called moisturizing things silently?

Immediately showed a teachable expression, and explained to Zhao Fan: "Don't be surprised, I am from a poor background, and I can only rely on myself for everything, unlike you who have a backer, so I shouldn't have heard what I said just now." ”

The speaker has the intention, and the listener has more heart.

As soon as Long Xiang's words fell, Zhao Fan hugged his fists and complimented: "Long Taishou is really modest, the people of Hefei are so rich, you yourself are a mountain, you don't need to find anyone to rely on at all"

"No, no, no."

Long Xiang hurriedly waved his hand and denied: "I really want to find someone to rely on."

If it had been left in the past, Zhao Fan would have persuaded Long Xiang to join Jiangdong, but now Liyang is in danger of running out, and he really has no face to pull the other party into the water.

Seeing that Zhao Fan didn't answer again, Long Xiang beckoned him to enjoy the food, and motioned to the Xu brothers to toast more.

The enthusiasm of the main family could not be stopped, and Zhao Fan drank so much that his throat was full of wine.

When he left Hefei, the smell of wine on his body overflowed, and Long Xiang asked people to pack a few catties of cooked meat and asked Zhao Fan to take it back for Tai Shici to try.

Long Xiang and Lu Su stood at the gate of the mansion, watching Zhao Fan and his entourage go away, then turned their heads and said meaningfully: "Next, let's look at the shopkeeper Yao, and I don't know if this matter will be successful or not." ”

"If this fails, we can only rely on Zhang Wenyuan's strength, so we must pay close attention to Cao Jun's movements."

Lu Su frowned and paused, and then said in a deep voice: "According to Zhuge Junshi's plan, as long as Cao's army crosses the river to the north in an all-round way, Uncle Huang will act on the western front, and we can respond in Huainan, Yunqi has been preparing in Hefei for so many years, it's time to make a splash." ”

"Hmm."

Long Xiang said solemnly: "You must pay close attention to training, I will also let the workshop rush to make armor and weapons, and strive to install more battalion headquarters before the war. ”

Lu Su smiled and cheered: "Yunqi is worthy of being self-made, he can not only make careful calculations but also live a good life, no wonder the military and civilians of Hefei support you so much." ”

"No way." Long Xiang looked bitter: "We can't compare to Cao Cao and Sun Quan, they can make a comeback if they lose many times, and if I lose once, I will have nothing, and I can't live until now if I don't work hard." ”

Longxiang is a project manager, proficient in the rational allocation of various resources, and has also prepared various anti-risk plans, never allowing himself to fall into embarrassment, so Hefei has been running well over the years.

Tai Shici has a certain political talent, but his ability in this area is not as good as Long Xiang, and because of Sun Ce, he has great trust in Sun Quan, so once this backer is loosened, there will be a food crisis in Liyang immediately.

Knowing that the Zhao Fan brothers had been found, Tai Shici was happy for him from the bottom of his heart, but he ate the pork flavor he brought and chewed wax.

It's not that the pork spoils on the road, for people who drink gruel every day, those cooked meats are better than delicacies, but Tai Shi Ci has something hidden in his heart.

Tai Shici thinks that he is both civil and military, and he has been to many places in the world, and the experience of the first half of his life is also ups and downs, but he has nowhere to display his talent.

finally met Sun Ce, who knew the goods, but he didn't have time to use himself in a hurry.

was transferred to Liyang by Sun Quan and mistakenly thought it was an opportunity, but he didn't expect that whether it was Zhang Liao or Long Xiang, they were both ruthless characters who were not good for him to deal with.

Tai Shi Ci thought about countless possibilities before coming to Liyang, but he didn't expect that he would worry about food, and he needed outsiders to give alms to eat meat.

How did I get into this situation?

Seeing that Tai Shi Ci couldn't chew dryly, his face was sad, and Zhao Fan, who was awake, reminded in a low voice: "General, now that there are more people in Liyang and less food, drinking gruel for a long time is not good for the army, and the lord's western expedition will end in a long time, so we'd better think of a way in advance." ”

"What can you do? The rear wants us to take care of the overall situation, Liyang has such a little land and such a small population, and the newly harvested rice in the county has been taxed to the maximum extent, if the people are forced to live no longer, they will definitely flee to other places to earn a living."

Tai Shi Ci was halfway through his frustrated words, and suddenly faced Zhao Fan to change the topic, and said seriously: "Since Brother Ling is the county guard in Guiyang, you don't have to stay here to endure hardships, and secretly take your wife and children to the west to find relatives at night, but now that the fierce battle in Jiangxia is in full swing, I suggest that you land in Haiduan first, prepare food and go to Guiyang by land, anyway, you are more familiar with the Jianchang area."

"What did the general say? Is Zhao Fan a person who is greedy for wealth and nobility? When I abandoned Liu Xuan to follow the general, I just liked the heroism of the general, so don't be discouraged. ”

"Ke Liyang Now"

"General, we are Danyang on the other side of Liyang, why don't you ask Sun Taishou for help? Although all the counties are supporting the lord's expedition to the west, but the county always has to leave some for its own use, there are not many garrisons in Liyang, Sun Taishou only needs to move his fingers lightly, won't this difficulty pass? ”

"If it weren't for the usual reminders, I would have forgotten about this."

When Tai Shi Ci was under Sun Ce, he often heard people praise Sun Yi for having the style of being a brother, and he thought that he should also be a righteous hero, so he sent a messenger to cross the river from Zhao Fan's plan.

The messenger of Liyang crossed the river to the east and went to Wanling, the place of Danyang governance, to ask for food.

Sun Yi was not familiar with Tai Shi Ci, but he had heard Sun Ce praise him for his strong martial arts.

As the so-called heroes cherish heroes, Sun Yi really wants to help Tai Shici with this, but there is not much surplus grain in the Danyang official warehouse, but it is not good to refuse directly.

Sun Yiliu's messenger was thinking about countermeasures in the post house, and happened to meet a rich family in the county who came to Wanling to pay respects, and expressed his willingness to fund rice and grain to solve problems.

There is no need to transfer grain from the official warehouse in Danyang, Sun Yi did a favor without thinking, not only did he not intercept some of the grain for himself, but also asked the transfer of ships to help transport it.
