Seeing Tai Shici's expression, Long Xiang hurriedly comforted: "Ziyi rest assured, I will rush to Jiangdong and transfer all the people of Liyang, Quanjiao, and Fuling counties to Hefei for resettlement." ”

"Don't want these counties?" Tai Shici looked surprised.

"Don't."

Long Xiang replied in the affirmative, and then explained: "Although Liyang has a good location and is also suitable for crossing the river as a springboard, after all, it is too far away from Hefei, which is not conducive to my overall strategy.

As for the adjacent Guangling Quanjiao, Fuling, the terrain of the two counties is mountainous and less fields are susceptible to disasters, it is better to move to the plains to live, now Shouchun has entered my hands, Shouchun and Hefei between countless fertile fields, has been abandoned is a pity, the people who moved to fill the vacancy, they will be able to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Tai Shi Ci pondered for a while, and slightly bowed his head in agreement.

"The general plans to shrink the defensive line, abandon the towns along the river in Jiujiang County like abandoning the counties of Lujiang, and then use the twin cities of Hefei as a barrier to focus on the northern part of Huainan?"

Long Xiang and Lu Su smiled happily after looking at each other, and boasted: "Ziyi can understand at one point, he is really a far-sighted general, I have your help, like a tiger with wings." ”

"But let's do this, aren't we afraid that Jiangdong will take the opportunity to occupy the land?" Tai Shi Ci frowned and showed a worried expression, "The general has bullied Lu Meng and the others too much, Jiangdong will definitely regard us as enemies, and it is impossible to do it as usual." ”

"Jiangdong wants to occupy the city and occupy the territory with him, not only will I not stop it, but I am still very happy in my heart."

Long Xiang spread his hands, looking indifferent.

Tai Shici's face was full of curiosity: "Why? ”

Lu Su next to him explained: "General Ziyi doesn't know, this is the tactic set by me and Yunqi, Jiangdong is good at water warfare and not good at land warfare, Hefei has been sandwiched between Sun Cao for many years, and has no time and no opportunity to develop a naval army, so he is unwilling to compete with Jiangdong for the length of the water war, and intends to lead Sun Quan to the land war, Yunqi deliberately humiliates Lu Meng today, which is also one of the strategies to deal with Jiangdong." ”

"The end of the forehead will not be understood"

Tai Shi Ci shook his head gently, he only understood half of it, and his head was still like a mess.

Lu Su also said: "Yunqi is madly angry with Jiangdong today, just hoping that Sun Quan is not fully prepared and hastily sends troops to attack Hefei, and then we use Hefei's city defense advantages to defend and counterattack, to defeat the confidence of Jiangdong people in a battle, and completely determine our position in Huainan;

As for the people along the Yangtze River have been emptied and belong to the strategic buffer zone between us, if Sun Quan sends troops to forcibly occupy it, he will not be allowed to transport military supplies from Jiangdong? This can be a waste of Jiangdong's resources in disguise. ”

"I see."

Tai Shi Ci finally understood, and then looked at Long Xiang and Lu Su with admiration.

The heart said that the interlocking links are all traps, Sun Quan and Lu Meng will inevitably attack, and the two of you are better than a group of think tanks in Jiangdong.

Long Xiang was uncomfortable by Tai Shici, so he said: "Although Cao Cao was tripped in Hebei, and I let Liu Fu return to Xu Du to 'delay', Shouchun may have no military affairs for the time being, but there is no absolute thing in the world, Cao Cao's use of soldiers is difficult for others to guess, Shouchun needs a general to guard, obviously Hao Meng is not competent." ”

"The general wants me."

Tai Shi Ci pointed to himself and stopped talking.

"Who is the right person?"

Long Xiang added: "In addition to the important town of Shouchun in the north, Xiacai, Xiquyang, Dangtu and other places along the Huaishui line should also be included in the integrated defense, in the past, Cao Cao moved people from the Lujiang River, and many people were resettled in these places, and Hao Meng has no energy to appease at present, and Ziyi will deal with it slowly after he arrives." ”

Tai Shi Ci clenched his fists and responded modestly: "When Ci first arrived, the general entrusted such a big matter, I am afraid that someone will gossip, why don't you take me as General Hao's deputy?" ”

"Haha, Ziyi is too worried."

Long Xiang smiled confidently and said: "I don't look at my background here, and I don't care about seniority, it's completely a meritocracy, you can rest assured and boldly take office, no one is unconvinced." ”

"This"

Tai Shi Ci looked at Lu Su hesitantly, and said in his heart that Shouchun was defeated by you, so that you could be unsurpassed in Huainan, and it was most suitable for Long Xiang to let you guard Shouchun.

Long Xiang seemed to see Tai Shici's thoughts, and hurriedly smiled and quipped: "Ziyi, don't fight Zijing's idea, I have to rely on him a lot on weekdays, Hefei is about to face a big war, and he doesn't have time to go to Shouchun with you." ”

"That's not what the end means."

"Then it's decided, but I'm not in a hurry to go to work, and it's not too late to go north when the Liyang family moves to Hefei and settles properly."

"Yui."

Seeing Long Xiang's resolute attitude, Tai Shi Ci responded with a fist.

Tai Shi Ci knew very well in his heart that Long Xiang transferred him to Shouchun for defense, because he was afraid that he would not be ruthless to Jiangdong, but directly letting him be the main general was really a big surprise to him.

It was only a few days since he joined Long Xiang, and he dared to hand over the important town of Shouchun to himself, and compared it with Sun Quan to make a judgment.

Tai Shi Ci was full of gratitude and returned to the city with Long Xiang, and Xu Chu led the Tiger Guards to stay outside the city, with the intention of supervising the boarding of Lü Meng's army.

Long Xiang returned to the Taishou Mansion and saw Cao Xuan waiting in the courtyard.

Cao Xing successfully completed the task in Jiangjunling, and the first thing he did when he returned to the city was to recover his life.

Long Xiang gave a few words of encouragement in public, and gave Cao Xuan a few new tasks.

In addition to accompanying Zhang Liao to the old city, Long Xiang ordered Cao Xing and Liu Fu to carry out land and water surveillance of Lü Meng, grasp the whereabouts of Lü Meng's army, and provide intelligence reference for the evacuation of Liyang and other counties.

Cao Xing's department is under the jurisdiction of Xu Ding, but because its main responsibility is intelligence exploration, it is also under the direct management of Long Xiang and Lu Su.

After receiving the new order, Cao Xing didn't have time to go home to see his wife and children, so he first went to the camp to dispatch sentinels.

Compared with Hefei's simple reconnaissance fishing boats, as well as the evacuation of Chaohu wine shop and watchtower personnel directly under Liu Fu, Hefei's two full-time reconnaissance armies on land and water were dominated by Cao Xing's cavalry at this time.

It was evening, and it was already dark.

More than 100 sentinels went out of the city at dusk, and followed Lu Meng's fleet with the help of clairvoyant mirrors.

Lü Meng and others were humiliated in Hefei, and after boarding the warship, they were all angry, and depression and dullness enveloped the whole army.

As soon as the fleet sailed into Chaohu Lake, the sky was almost engulfed by darkness, and Lu Meng was so confused that he didn't know where to go, so he ordered all ships to dock and rest.

Soon after the order to stop the ship was issued, a sergeant reported that Pan Zhang had led his troops to leave the group.

If it weren't for Pan Zhang's previous arson, he wouldn't have given Long Xiang a perfect excuse, and now he is disobeying the military order? It just doesn't make sense!

Lu Meng was furious, and immediately ordered fifty warships, intending to personally arrest Pan Zhang and punish him.

Xu Sheng, Han Dang and other generals were worried that Lu Meng would kill people in anger, and they also mobilized warships to follow behind Lu Meng, and hundreds of Jiangdong warships that had just been moored moved in half of them for a while.

Lu Meng chased Pan Zhang with anger, only to find that he had stopped the boat not far away.

Just as he was about to step forward to ask for the guilt, Pan Zhang, who was on the shore, suddenly ordered the soldiers to light a fire and burn the wine shop and watchtower at the rest station.

It turned out that Pan Zhang led his troops to leave the group in order to vent his anger here.

Seeing the wine shop and tower on fire, it was like tearing his girlfriend's stockings with his hands, and Lu Meng actually had an indescribable pleasure.
