Chapter 481: Xu Chu takes General Ridge lightly
"Now that time is pressing, Zijing is in a hurry and can't think of a perfect plan, I can accept to pay some price, but Taishi Ziyi must be saved, and having him as an example for the Jiangdong soldiers will be of great help to us to take Jiangdong."
"Tai Shi Ci is brave and good at fighting, Zhang Liao and Li Dian want to kill his troops, I'm afraid it will take some twists and turns, I suggest that they consume first, and wait for the Liyang soldiers and horses to be almost exhausted, and then recover Tai Shi Ci will get twice the result with half the effort, otherwise he is still dedicated to Sun Quan, and it will be difficult to do."
After listening to Lu Su's suggestion, Long Xiang shook his head without thinking, and then frowned and said: "There are not many generals available in Hefei, I really want to accept him for the envoy, but deliberately wait until both are defeated, and then make a move when Tai Shi Ci is cornered, this behavior is a little shameful, what if Tai Shi Ci is defeated and captured, or votes for Cao Cao?" β
"Yunqi means" Lu Su wanted to speak and stopped.
Long Xiang replied: "Zhang Liao has formed this pocket formation, and the weakness is on the General's Ridge, I plan to immediately send a team of men and horses to use the clairvoyant mirror to quietly take this place, and wait until the General's Ridge is controlled by our side, wouldn't it be much easier to save Tai Shici?" β
"It's a good idea."
Lu Su stroked his beard and bowed his head slightly, then paced back and forth in place several times, and his expression showed joy when he stopped.
"Maybe take Shouchun, and the breaking point is on this General Ridge."
Long Xiang asked with empty eyes: "What do you say?" β
Lu Su replied: "It is inconvenient to go up and down the guard tower of General Ridge, and I guess that most of the officers and soldiers on the ridge use banners to transmit information, and at that time, as long as they catch a few live mouths and ask for flag words, they can mislead Zhang Liao and Li Dian." β
"Good plan, good plan." Long Xiang gave Lu Su a thumbs up.
Lu Su replied modestly: "This is just an idea, and it takes time to think about the specific tactics." β
Long Xiang waved his hand lightly: "You go and spend time as soon as possible, and I will mobilize people to take General Ridge." β
"Who is Yunqi going to let go?"
Lu Su first thought of Xu Chu, the core members of the Tiger Guard, who were all swordsmen with outstanding martial arts, and Renxia swordsmen could often achieve twice the result with half the effort in this kind of surprise attack.
"It has to be Xu Zhongkang."
Long Xiang's answer was exactly what Lu Su expected, but he only guessed half of the answer, because Long Xiang followed and added: "I plan to ask Zhong Kang to bring You Zhengping with you." β
Lu Su knew his intentions after a little thought, You Heng's ability is not only to count people, his quick thinking and eloquence are unparalleled in the world, and this specialty is also useful for dealing with pawns.
Thinking that General Ling could break the situation perfectly, Lu Su's mood also became better, and he shook his robe and said goodbye to Long Xiang.
"Without further ado, I'll say goodbye first, everyone will go their separate ways first, and then meet when there is news of Cao Xing."
"I won't keep you today, Zi Jing will go by himself."
Long Xiang raised his sleeves and stretched forward, making a gesture to send Lu Su.
The two of them were about to walk out, Lu Su had just stepped on the steps and suddenly stopped, Long Xiang stopped and turned around and looked at it curiously.
"What's wrong?"
"Yunqi remembers to instruct General Xu to let him act in the name of Chen Lan, if something happens on the way to seize the mountain, we will also have a response to Zhang Liao."
"Cao Jun hates Chen Lan to the core, and he is about to flip the table with Cao Thief, and Zijing plans to use him to deepen his impression? But it's appropriate."
Long Xiang responded with a smile, and then instructed Lu Su: "Speaking of Chen Lan, his guard tower is also equipped with a clairvoyant mirror, let him pay more attention to the trend of Liyang, Tai Shi Ci's family members are all over there, and you have to beware of Sun Quan using yin tricks to rob hostages." β
"Zhang Liao recruited new soldiers this year, he and Li Dian have a total strength of more than 10,000, even if they use tactics, they have to fight a few battles, if Tai Shici leads his troops north, won't Yunqi transfer Chen Lan to help in the war? No, no, no."
Lu Su was originally asking Long Xiang rhetorically, but in the end, he denied himself, and shook his head and said to himself: "Chen Lan's soldiers are better to stay in the station, once we tear our faces with Sun Quan, it is difficult to ensure that he does not transfer Lu Fan from Guangling."
"Guangling Lu Fan?" Long Xiang shook his head disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "Zijing forgot Chen Yuanlong in Dongcheng? He'll help me contain the soldiers of Guangling. β
Lu Su said: "Even so, you should write a letter to remind him." β
In the past year, Huainan has been relatively peaceful, and Long Xiang kept his promise to the Chen family, and he married Chen Denggang and Lu's daughter, and Chen Deng and Long Xiang had an indirect kinship.
Lu Su believed that Chen Deng was repaying Hua Tuo's life-saving grace and would not necessarily help Long Xiang militarily, after all, Xuzhou was nominally controlled by Cao Cao.
"Zijing doesn't have to worry, I have my own plans."
Long Xiang only shook his head lightly, Lu Su didn't know that the two had an agreement, that is, to advance and retreat together at a critical moment, Long Xiang believed that Chen Deng would remember it.
Chen Deng guessed the relationship between Long Xiang and Liu Bei, the Chen family in Xuzhou and the Sun family in Jiangdong have never dealt with each other, and any reason can make Chen Deng keep an eye on Lu Fan.
After Lu Su left the Taishou Mansion, Long Xiang immediately summoned Xu Chu and You Heng to teach him face-to-face.
Xu Chu obeyed as always, and You Heng, who made Long Xiang unsure, also looked happy.
After all, You Heng is a thin civil official, and he has no experience in the army before, and now he belongs to the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair.
You Heng was not interested in fighting with the army, but he was very much looking forward to making trouble with Cao Cao, and bluntly said on the spot that no matter who troubled Cao Cao, he would also help with his own mouth.
There are 500 Cao soldiers defending the General Ridge, Xu Chu picked 800 elite swordsmen for this purpose, first took advantage of the night to touch the foot of the mountain to hide, they rested all night against the cold, and at dawn the next day, they were divided into eight teams to climb the top of the mountain from different directions.
The 800 swordsmen were all strong in martial arts, faster than ordinary soldiers when they crossed mountains and mountains, and with the assistance of the vision of clairvoyance, they avoided Cao Bing's patrols along the way.
In winter, the days are short, and it quickly reaches dusk.
The silent mountain top suddenly came into a hustle and bustle, and the tiger guards lurking near several guard towers first knocked down all the guards on the perimeter with bows and arrows, throwing knives, stones and other objects, and then flashed out like tigers out of the gate.
Clanging, less than half an hour of fighting.
Five hundred defenders were killed two hundred and twenty, two hundred and fifty-five were wounded, the remaining dozens of people voluntarily surrendered, eight hundred tiger guards were slightly wounded, and Xu Chu easily captured General Ridge.
Tai Shi Ci was about to cross the border, and the prisoners and soldiers could not be transferred in time, so You Heng was doing 'ideological work' on the spot, and Xu Chu also sent people to report the victory.
On the day when Xu Chu's own soldiers returned to fatten, Cao Xing's scouts also returned from the Lujiang River, and they found hundreds of Jiangdong warships, and the main ship was hung with the Lu character flag.
LΓΌ Meng took over as the governor of Dadu in Chaisang, and Sun Quan had not had time to take him to meet the Jiangdong ministers, but the news had been transmitted back to Wu County through a grain ship.
The news of Wu County's boiling news, Long Xiang also learned through the intelligence station.
Long Xiang didn't have a good impression of Lu Meng, and said that Sun Quan could let him succeed, indicating that Lu Meng was his confidant.
Thinking of crossing the river in white clothes in history, and remembering that the second master also died because of it, Long Xiang's brows couldn't help frowning, and he said that he would tear his face with Sun Quan in the future, and he would definitely ravage this Wuxia Ameng.
Long Xiang didn't know something, when Sun Ce sent Deng Dang to sneak into Hefei to make trouble, Lu Meng actually followed Deng Dang, and he also moved bricks in Hefei for a few months.
