"It's."

Seeing Gu Yong's dazed face, Lu Yixin said You don't know? So he explained: "This is Yao Ji's account book, Gu Gong will know it after reading it." ”

"Books?"

Gu Yong muttered to himself and slowly flipped through it, his attention was quickly attracted by the content, and his face became more and more solemn, and he closed it after a while and asked: "Yao Ji was confiscated a few days ago, where did Bo Yan get this thing?" ”

"Just a few days ago, someone secretly sent this account book to Haichang County outside the Yamen, its content shocked me, I don't know if it's true or not, but it must be Long Xiang's handwriting, I don't think it will be this one, as long as it is spread in Jiangdong, not to mention raising money and food to fight Hefei, Jiangdong may be in chaos for a while."

Lu Yi said this in front of Gu Yong, hoping that Gu Yong would add fuel to the fire, so that Sun Quan's dispatch of troops could be delayed, and the Lu family would be able to breathe.

Gu Yong is also a political veteran, and he saw Lu Yi's intentions, he knew that the content was true, but he was unwilling to break it, but handed the account book back to Lu Yi.

"Then let's just wait and see what happens, maybe there is a turnaround as Boyan speculated, but I don't recommend you to spread it, don't forget how spicy Sun Bofu's hands are"

"Of course I won't"

Lu Yi nodded solemnly, he saw that Gu Yong was not on the spot, and immediately changed the topic: "If this matter spreads before the war, the damage to Jiangdong will be limited, and the wartime spread will inevitably affect the morale of the army, if it is after the war and after the defeat, then"

"That's it?"

"It shows that what Long Xiang is planning is not limited to Huainan, it is possible to target Jiangdong."

After listening to Lu Yi's speculation, Gu Yong's scalp suddenly went numb.

If Sun Quanzhen fails on the battlefield and is exposed to his greedy face, and someone takes the opportunity to rebel against Sun, so that Jiangdong will fall into the chaos of the melee again, Long Xiang is really so terrible?

After thinking deeply for a while, Gu Yong cleaned up his mood and comforted himself and said: "What Bo Yan said has a certain truth, but I don't think Long Xiang has such a big appetite, we don't have to scare ourselves, and I suggest that the account book be destroyed, so as not to fall into the tongue if something happens." ”

"It's fine."

Lu Yi nodded: "Then I simply don't take it away, borrow a fire from the Gu Mansion, and let's burn it together." ”

"Okay."

Gu Yongyan pointed to the charcoal basin in the corner, signaling Lu Yi to burn the book with charcoal.

Lu Yi smiled happily when he heard this, then strode forward, squatted down and ignited the fire by pinching the account book.

Watching the account books burning in the charcoal basin, Lu Yi secretly thought that it was not bad for Jiangdong to move the master, that the father and son of the Sun family were all brave and ruthless, and whoever was in charge of the family would not be able to live a good life, maybe it would be better to change Long Xiang, at least this person is not a murderous horseman.

Gu Yong saw Lu Yi burning books, and stroked his beard to express his affirmation:

"That's right, let's not participate in the matter of chasing the wind and shadows, if someone is willing to do something, we won't stop it, even if Long Xiang wants to enter Jiangdong, it depends on whether Cao Cao is willing or not, Bo Yan don't think too much"

"Cao Cao?" Lu Yi shook his head lightly: "If I were him, I would sit and reap the profits."

"Haha, it's a pity you're not."

Gu Yong wanted to wait for others to do something, but there was no news for several days, and Lu Yi burned the account book as if it was a lone book, so he could only raise money and food with resentment.

While Jiangdong was actively preparing for war, Hefei did not sit idly by, not only relocated the military and civilians of Liyang, Quanjiao, and Fuling counties, but even Junyu County, which was north of Chaohu, was also required to temporarily relocate to Hefei.

The four counties left a small garrison in order to confuse their opponents.

If Sun Quan and Lü Meng adopted the tactic of attacking the periphery first and then the center, the remaining garrisons in the four counties would decisively withdraw, disrupting the rhythm of Jiangdong with a small number of troops and horses, and wasting the opponent's military resources at the same time.

In addition, Tai Shici settled his family, and then led his troops to Shouchun to take office, Hao Meng and Zhao Fan as his deputy generals, to help him bring the Huaishui line into the rule of Long Xiang.

Tai Shi Ci didn't dare to stretch his hand too long at first, and only included Xia Cai, who was close to Shouchun, into his jurisdiction.

As a result, more than half a month passed, and Cao Jun did not send troops to retaliate, so he became more and more bold, and slowly became involved in Dangtu and Quyang in the east.

Although Cao Cao was in Hebei, news from all over the country would also be sent to the front line, and the reason why he did not respond in time was because he had given relevant orders himself.

A year ago, Cao Cao had already reached the south bank of the Yellow River, but news came from the rear that Liu Fu was asking for help.

Because he was worried that the Huainan War would miss the opportunity to attack, Cao Cao instructed Shi Jian that if it was not a major matter of the skyfall, there was no need to report to him immediately, so as not to affect his judgment and delay the fighter.

Huainan has changed drastically, and the wood has become a boat.

Shi Jian received the battle report and forcibly suppressed it and did not report it.

It wasn't until early March that Liu Fu personally arrived at the Yecheng camp that Cao Cao knew that Huainan was lost.

At this time, Cao's army had besieged Yecheng for 100 days, and Yuan Shang was still holding on with the assistance of the trial.

Yuan Tan fell for the divisive scheme, formed an alliance with the enemy, and took advantage of Cao Cao's siege of Yecheng to frantically encroach on his brother Yuan Shang's territory.

Hearing Liu Fu's crying, everyone in the tent was first shocked and then angry.

Xiahou Yuan took the lead in asking Ying for revenge, and Le Jin, Xu Huang and others all agreed.

Seeing that Cao Cao frowned and was silent, Guo Jia arched his hand and earnestly advised: "Duke Ming, since Huainan has been lost, it is in vain to send troops at this time, it is better to go all out to defeat Yecheng and capture Hebei is the right thing." ”

"Yecheng is strong, and the soldiers in the city have enough food, but I am afraid that it will be difficult in the short term, and I am worried that Long Xiang will take advantage of the victory and go to attack Xudu."

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Liu Fu hurriedly added: "Long Xiang said that he is aiming in Huainan and does not want to be an enemy of Ming Gong."

"Don't want to be the enemy of the lord?" Cao Ren sneered: "Why did you kill Li Dian, kidnap Zhang Liao, and take Shouchun?" ”

"This"

Seeing that Liu Fu was speechless, the mastermind Xun You got up and asked, "Long Xiang really surrendered Tai Shici?" ”

"It's true, when I was captured, I heard that Lu Meng was calculating Tai Shici, and it was to save him that Long Xiang sent troops to defeat General Zhang and take Shouchun with his hand." Liu Fu's voice became smaller and smaller at the end.

Xun You thought about it after hearing this, shook his head and said, "Conquering the city, how can there be anything convenient?" Long Xiang must have been planning for a long time, but for the sake of Tai Shici, he and Jiangdong are considered to have made a bad relationship, how can Sun Quan and Lu Meng take a break? At this time, Long Xiang's hands and feet were tied, and he should not have the strength to go north. ”

"Gongda means"

"I agree with the view of filial piety, we should abandon external interference and take Yecheng in one go."

Cao Cao bowed slightly, frowned and glanced at everyone and asked: "Long Xiang used a trick to take away my Shouchun, and now Yecheng is in front of you, all the princes are resourceful, can you have a clever plan to help break the city?" ”

Xun You, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu didn't speak, they either bowed their heads or frowned.

Xu You, who accompanied the army for the first time, saw that the ministers had nothing to do, so he stood up with joy and offered his advice to Cao Cao and said: "Yecheng is not far from Zhangshui, and now there is enough time for the water to rise in June, why don't Meng De dig a canal to divert water to irrigate it?" ”

"Water attack? Not bad."

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and he suddenly remembered that he had been flooded for a few years, which eventually led to Lu Bu being captured, so he pointed at Xu You and said with a smile: "If the water attack can be successful, I should remember the first merit of Ziyuan." ”

At this moment, Shi Jian suddenly broke into the big tent.

The situation in Huainan came from Liu Fukou, Cao Cao knew that he had spoken first, and he did not blame his henchman Shi Lian, but when he saw his solemn expression and stopped talking, he was relieved and said: "Gong Liu has something to do?" Don't be shy, don't worry. ”

Shi Lian swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "Guanzhong is urgent, Liu Bei attacked Chang'an, Captain Zhong was defeated in battle, and he has retreated to Tongguan."

"What?"

Cao Cao's face changed in shock, and he got up in a panic and kicked over the table in front of him.
