When Lu Meng talked about Long Xiang, he always frowned and had a solemn expression.

Ling Tong was extremely incomprehensible after observation, and said in his heart that although Long Xiang had resisted Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, he couldn't get an offensive record, even if the Jiangdong fleet didn't know that it would cross the border directly, what trouble would the other party dare to look for?

I only know defense, I don't want to make progress, I don't expand my army if I have food and soldiers.

The stereotypes accumulated over the years made Ling Tong's Long Xiang even more curious, and he even took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Hefei to meet, but was finally rejected by Lu Meng.

Ling Tong was young and vigorous, and Lu Meng was worried that he would be unobtrusive when he arrived in Hefei, and something bad would happen.

The purpose of this time is to capture Tai Shi Ci, Lu Meng doesn't want Ling Tong to have extraneous branches, after all, let Sun Ce and Zhou Yu eat deflated, and the man who governs Hefei in an orderly manner, he is not willing to provoke now.

Sun Quan had agreed to Lü Meng's strategic policy, that is, to stop attacking Huainan in the north and encroach on Jingzhou in the west, and make Hefei a strategic buffer between Sun and Cao, which was most in line with the current interests of Jiangdong.

At the end of the first month, the Jiangdong fleet entered Chaohu Lake and docked in the northwest, which was very close to the place where Sun Quan and Long Xiang had met.

Lü Meng immediately sent an envoy to Hefei, saying that the Jiangdong army had returned from Jingzhou and wanted to take advantage of the victory to take Shouchun, saying that the fleet would pass by Shishui in the near future.

Long Xiang only replied with the three words 'I know', and asked people to send the Jiangdong envoy out of Hefei.

The envoy thought all the way back to Chaohu, and he heard that the people who had sent to Hefei before had been warmly entertained by Long Xiang.

But what's going on with Long Xiang today? Not to mention giving gifts to take away for yourself, not even a sip of water was provided.

Got it? What is the answer?

Long Xiang's answer not only made the envoy wonder, but even Lu Su didn't understand.

So as soon as the messenger left, Lu Su walked up to Long Xiang and asked in a low voice, "What does 'got it' mean?" Is Yunqi going to let Lu Meng over, or won't he let him go? ”

Long Xiang spread his hands: "We don't have a navy in Hefei, and Liu Fu's reconnaissance boats are all changed from fishing boats, so don't you agree with Lu Meng?" ”

"What about you."

"Knowing that these three words are very vague, because they did not give a clear opinion, they can be used as a reason to turn against Jiangdong."

When Lu Su heard the good guy, he said in his heart that you had this idea, so he reminded with a smile: "It's not appropriate to use this as a reason, right?" How can you wait for someone to pass before saying you don't agree? It's better to find another excuse. ”

"No, you don't." Long Xiang shook his head and asked, "What qualifications does Lu Meng have to inform me?" ”

Lu Su blurted out: "Isn't he the governor of Jiangdong?" ”

"Someone told us? If it weren't for the information provided by Yao Xuan, Zijing probably wouldn't know him. ”

Because Long Xiang came through time, he knew better than anyone including Lu Meng himself that Lu Meng would be the Grand Governor, but before Lu Meng succeeded Zhou Yu, he was just a little-known young general, and Lu Su didn't necessarily pay attention to him.

Sure enough, Lu Su nodded straightly, and also understood Long Xiang's intentions, and then stroked his beard to affirm: "Yunqi's reason for choosing this is good, Lu Meng came to Hefei to show off his might, and our reaction is reasonable." ”

"Don't worry about Lu Meng now, Tai Shi Ci has been in Hefei for two days, and it is estimated that he will be able to arrive in Lu'an soon, we must start acting as soon as possible, if it is too late, Tai Shi Ci will run out of food and collapse."

"Hmm."

Lu Su responded with his head: "I will immediately send Cao Sima to take people to General Ridge, and the tough battle will have to rely on General Xu's Tiger Guard." ”

"Zijing wants the Tiger Guards to take Shouchun? Li Dian, the defender of the city, is quite resourceful, although Zhong Kang is brave but lacks opportunity, although the strategy we have discussed in the past few days is wonderful, I am afraid that he will not be able to make a decision if there is a sudden change, and one of us must have one to command the army. ”

"Then I'll go."

"Zijing is still in Hefei for dispatch, or me and Zhongkang went to get Shouchun, don't forget that I was a Quhou under Yuan Shu, and I am still relatively familiar with Shouchun City."

"I still served as Yuan Shu's Dongcheng Chief."

After Lu Su laughed and joked, his face changed greatly, and he said solemnly: "It's better for me to take Shouchun, if there is a change on Tai Shici's side, you can also respond at any time, I don't have the confidence to persuade this person." ”

"That's fine."

Long Xiang no longer argued with Lu Su, but advised: "Zi Jing must be careful when he goes, if Li Dian really can't be lured, let's not take Shouchun for the time being, and defeat Cao Jun in Lu'an. ”

"Yunqi rest assured." Lu Su straightened his chest and responded with a smile: "Li Dian has a precedent for saving Zhang Liao, this time he will inevitably fall into my serial scheme, if he can see death and not save him, I will not fight hard." ”

The implementation of Lu Su's serial plan is very complicated, and the donor himself is in charge of 10,000 dragons.

Considering that Xu Chu was not familiar with Shouchun, Lu Su had only served as a county magistrate in Dongcheng, and Long Xiang sent Hao Meng to lead the way with the army.

Whether Lu Su's plan can succeed or not, the willingness of the captives of General Ling to cooperate is the key, and as a result, You Heng was fortunate not to be disgraced in this trip, and successfully surrendered 20 prisoners with his mouth, making a good start for the capture of Shouchun.

With the advantage of the vision of the clairvoyant, Hefei New Town is a few miles away from Shishui, so the mobilization of soldiers and horses in the new city can easily hide from Lu Meng of Chaohu Lake.

Of course, Lu Meng's focus at the moment is on Liyang.

Pan Zhang took dozens of carts of 'dead branches and rotten leaves' to earn Liyang, and was found by the scouts on the west mountain with a clairvoyant mirror halfway through, Chen Lan sent a fast horse to Hefei to report, and gathered soldiers and horses to prepare to act according to the plan.

Long Xiang's plan was simple and crude, that is, if there was a military conflict in Liyang, Chen Lan would take advantage of the fire to rob as a thief, but the real purpose was to protect the safety of Tai Shici and others' families.

Chen Lan knew that there were 1,000 defenders in Liyang, as long as there was enough food and grass in the city, the guards were conscientious and confident, it would be no problem to block the attack of 10,000 people in a short time, not to mention that Pan Zhang only brought 3,000 people.

But the result surprised Chen Lan, Pan Zhangzhen used dozens of cars of 'dead branches and rotten leaves' to open the city gate, and the Liyang garrison has been clear and watery for half a year.

In the face of the friendly army's 'wine and meat reward', many soldiers who stayed behind wavered, and finally did not resist the temptation to open the city gate.

Fortunately, when Pan Zhang led the army into the city, the cats on those cars were discovered.

The dead branches and leaves on the car are too light, so that the ruts leave a shallow trace.

The suspicious Tai Shixiang ordered the friendly army to stop entering the city, but how could Pan Zhang be obedient? A fierce battle soon broke out between the two sides.

The combat strength of the defenders of Liyang and Pan Zhang's soldiers was half a catty, but the attacker's strength was three times that of the defender.

Pan Zhang made people shout that Tai Shi Ci rebelled, except for Tai Shi Ci's troops and family members in the city, the original people of Liyang did not know which side to believe, and they closed their doors one after another, and the situation gradually evolved into a one-sided situation.

In less than two hours, half of the defenders of Liyang had been lost, and the remnants of the soldiers were fighting the trapped beasts.

Pan Zhang thought that he had the chance to win, but he didn't think that someone would follow behind him as a yellow bird.

Chen Lan led 5,000 people to Liyang, and Pan Zhang's soldiers and horses happened to be filled with biscuits.

The rear army shouted a tsunami and cut it when it saw people, which caught the front army off guard and the army was in turmoil, Pan Zhang stood on a high place and saw that Chen Lan had many soldiers, so he had to lead the troops to break through from the nearby city gate with hatred.

When the number of people broke out of the encirclement and counted, Pan Zhang found that less than 1,000 people had escaped, and the general Ma Zhong was nowhere to be found.
