In the face of Sun Quan's 'emergency response', Long Xiang, who was secretly pushing the waves, was like a mirror.

Sending Zhao Fan, who went to the door for help, Long Xiang put down other important matters at hand, and gathered with Lu Su in the front hall of the Taishou Mansion to study the situation in Huainan on the map.

Long Xiang pointed to the position of General Ling and said to himself: "Taishi Ziyi asked me to borrow the way, and found a reason to avenge Zhang Liao and Li Dian's joint attack, but Liyang only has three or four thousand soldiers and horses, even if he goes around behind the enemy, what can he do?"

In the first month, the weather is cold and freezing, and there is no way to harass the crops in the fields, not to mention that Zhang Liao and Li Dian have cities to rely on, and there are more defenders in Lu'an and Shouchun than in Liyang, Tai Shici almost couldn't eat before, what medicine did Sun Quan feed him? Now I'm willing to die."

Lu Su said: "No matter what excuse Sun Quan uses, Yao Xuan made Sun Yi in Wu County, and Sun Quan's character will inevitably be suspicious, Tai Shici will naturally suffer from unwarranted disasters, we have been planning for a long time, don't we just wait for this day?" There is a chance to take him this time. ”

"If only we could figure out Sun Quan's plan, we would be able to find a way to deal with it." Long Xiang shook his head and sighed.

Lu Su analyzed: "Tai Shi Ci does not have many troops, but if you dare to send troops so recklessly, you must have something to rely on, and I guess there must be heavy troops behind." ”

"It makes sense."

Long Xiang nodded in affirmation and continued to add: "Last year, we used a trick to lure Tai Shici to send troops, maybe Sun Quan will also see the same this time, it is estimated that he will not follow up in time, he wants to borrow Zhang Liao's knife to kill people."

"The main force of Jiangdong should have fought in Jingzhou, if the hard bone of Zhang Liao is worth the loss, maybe it is to let Tai Shi Ci get into the plan, I have sent Cao Xing to investigate along the Lujiang River, but I don't know how much capital Sun Quan has paid." Lu Su's face was solemn.

"Huh."

Long Xiang smiled disdainfully and said: Sun Quan may be bluffing, this thousand-mile transportation of troops will consume a lot of military supplies, Jiangdong soldiers have been fighting in Jingzhou for a few months, Sun Quan has even cut the supply of Taishi Ziyi, how much grain and grass is there in Jiangdong that can be wasted? ”

"It's hard to say, Tai Shi Ci is not a horseman, if he doesn't have enough confidence, he definitely won't take risks, or wait for Cao Xing's exact information and focus on the north."

Lu Su said, took a step forward and pointed to the General's Ridge, and said: "The General's Ridge sentry tower is condescending, Tai Shi Ci will either march at night or pull out the stronghold on the mountain, but I estimate that he will choose to detour with few soldiers, and the follow-up soldiers and horses in Jiangdong will obviously not follow, Cao Bing on the ridge has the advantage of vision, Tai Shi Ci is going to the mouth of the tiger, how does Yunqi plan to save him?" ”

"How to save it? Isn't it a direct dispatch of troops? ”

Long Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately put on a natural look.

"Why?" Lu Su's face was full of worry, and he reminded: "Last time, it was Zhang Liao and Li Dian who broke into Hefei to make a loss, if Tai Shici fell into Zhang Liao's trap, we could only enter the Cao Army's sphere of influence, and this time it was our turn to take care of the loss."

"Why?" Long Xiang's face suddenly became serious, he clenched his fists and shook them, and said in a deep voice: "Whoever has a hard fist is reasonable, let's train hard, aren't we just angry for raising our eyebrows?" We can't care about other places, but in this Huainan realm, how can I be arrogant? ”

Lu Su was so shocked that he waved his hand, and hurriedly persuaded: "No, if we accept Tai Shici, it is equivalent to offending Sun Quan, if we offend Cao Cao unreasonably, I am afraid it will not be able to end, Yunqi has always been known for his caution, why is it so radical this time?" So what is the charm of Tai Shi Ci? ”

Long Xiang smiled embarrassedly, and Zhengse explained: "Zijing has a misunderstanding, I decided to do it to Huainan Cao Jun, not just to help Tai Shici, now that Yuan Shao is dead and Hebei is in chaos, Cao Cao is in a hurry to attack and take advantage of the fire to rob, and he must not take care of the chaos in Huainan." ”

"And then?" Lu Su's face was full of bitterness, and he frowned and reminded Long Xiang: "When Cao Cao takes the land of Hebei, how much more than 100,000 armor will be brought by then?" The money and food must be sufficient, what will you do to block it when the time comes? ”

Long Xiang remembered that Cao Cao in history took several years to occupy Hebei after the Battle of Guandu, and although Yuan Shao's sons were not successful, Hebei's heritage was deeper than that of the Central Plains.

If it weren't for the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang who turned against each other for power, Cao Cao's pacification of the north would have lagged behind.

Long Xiang had historical experience to refer to, and then smiled at Lu Suzhi.

"No matter how chaotic Hebei is, he will not sit still, Cao Cao did not pacify the north so quickly, but when he took advantage of the void, do you guess the envoy will take advantage of the void to enter? During this time, there was no movement in Xicheng at all, and he should be preparing for a sneak attack. ”

"What does Yunqi mean by helping Uncle Huang contain?"

"That's right, it will depend on how Cao Cao chooses, in short, there are only three ways in front of him, one is to stop recovering the north and go south to stop, the second is to ignore us, and the third is to divide the troops and return to the two places."

"The first two roads are very low-end, Cao Cao should choose the third, even if there are not many reinforcements to the south, it is very difficult to deal with the bravery of Cao's soldiers, it should not be a big problem to hold Hefei, I am afraid that we will be dragged by war, and when Cao Cao completely pacifies the north, it will be troublesome."

Lu Su had a solemn look on his face when he spoke, Long Xiang leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Since you have decided to offend Cao Cao, then offend him to death, take the opportunity of this rescue of Tai Shici, I will either drive Zhang Liao and Li Dian out of Huainan, or completely eliminate them, if Liu Fu is allowed to continue in Shaobi Tuntian, Cao Jun will take root in Huainan." ”

"Yunqi's idea to fight Shouchun?" Lu Su looked surprised.

Long Xiang nodded affirmatively: "To seek Sun Quan's Jiangdong, it is not enough to rely on Hefei alone, if you occupy the entire Huainan, you can break your wrists, take Shouchun can get a lot of people, and then use cement, masonry to strengthen the city wall, and use Shouchun to defend the Cao army, and the fertile plain south of Shouchun is our Tuntian District." ”

"That's what you think."

Lu Su bowed slightly, and asked again: "Not to mention when Cao Cao will reinforce him, if Yunqi takes Tai Shici under his command, Sun Quan will definitely not give up, and when the north and south are attacked at the same time, how sure are you that you will be able to repel them?" Don't forget to capture Jiangxia and behead Huang Zu, the combat effectiveness of the main force in Jiangdong is not weak. ”

"Not weak? Not necessarily. ”

Long Xiangxin said that I can't even beat Sun 100,000, so what can I talk about replacing the Sun family to occupy Jiangdong? Find a piece of tofu as soon as possible and kill it.

"Sun Ce and Zhou Yu attacked at the same time, didn't they also flee in disgrace? As long as we don't fight with these guys, we can rest easy. ”

"Well, that's right."

Lu Su nodded: "I persuaded you like this last time, don't fight with the enemy, your strength is to defend the city, but this time too many things are mixed together, I have to take a foolproof plan." ”

"By the way, there is one thing I almost forgot, since we decided to offend Cao Sun at the same time, we opened an intelligence station behind the enemy, and we want to lurk in the dark as soon as possible, I will send someone to inform Luo Yicheng, and Yao Xuan will be notified by Zijing."

"Okay, Yunqi is thoughtful, they have accumulated a lot of contacts in the past two years, and they can collect intelligence even if they go into the shadows."
