Chapter 537 If you want to wear its crown, you must bear the weight

"I choose Wu County!"

"Oh?" Han Zong's unthinking made Long Xiang curious, so he asked: "General Han is familiar with current affairs, so do you know the garrisons in Danyang and Wujun?" ”

"Say, my father's ministry had 5,000, leaving a battalion and the last general to guard Niuzhu, but a few days ago, Sun and grandson Shubi were assassinated, and Fei Lan and Dai Yuan fled to Jingzhou, and my father was ordered to go to Wanling to preside over the overall situation, and the rest of the county defenders are less than 1,000, so they should not be able to live up to General Long's military might."

"What about Wu County? What about the surrounding garrisons? ”

"In addition to Zhu Junli (Zhu Zhi) 3,000 county soldiers, Wu County has the most Wucheng garrisons around it, and Zhu Xiumu (Zhu Huan) has been crusading against Huiji Shanyue in the past two years, and more than 10,000 troops have been recruited under his command, and the rest of the county soldiers are not to worry."

After listening to this, Long Xiang pinched his chin and thought about it, thinking that if what Han Zong said was true, he only needed to avoid Wucheng and go straight to Wu County, and he would inevitably break the city easily if he cooperated with him, but he didn't know if Han Zong had surrendered fraudulently.

Thinking of this, Long Xiang turned his head to stare at Han Zong and asked: "It is said that there are few soldiers in Danyang, and there are many defenders in Wu County, why does General Han give up the weak to seek strength?" ”

"Returning to the general, my father is strict and stubborn, and the last general has no confidence to persuade him to surrender, and he does not dare to face him." Han Zong lowered his head after speaking.

General Long Xiang was suspicious, and motioned to Xu Chu and said: "Zhongkang, take General Han down first, so that you can settle down, and you must not be lazy." ”

"Yui."

Long Xiang has a limited understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms, and he doesn't know how unbearable Han Zong's character is.

Seeing that Han Zong surrendered so easily, Long Xiangxin said that the Jiangdong military generals were not quite backbone? Aren't they all those civil servants who surrendered?

Before dusk, all 20,000 troops on the other side crossed the river.

Long Xiang and Lu Su reunited, told the information that Han Zong had confessed, and then frowned and asked: "Zijing, this trip is too smooth, I suspect that it was Lu Meng's scheme, do you think this person is credible?" ”

"It is said that Han Zong is the son of Han Dang, and he should not surrender easily, but the deployment of troops he said is consistent with Yao Xuan's intelligence, so it is too early to say whether to surrender by fraud."

Lu Su stroked his beard and asked, "Why don't you give it a try?" ”

"Huh?"

"Han Dang moved to Wanling, the nearby stone city must be empty, our army waded across the river, it is very inconvenient to transport grain, you can supply along the way according to the original plan, whether Han Zong cooperates, you will know at a try."

"Good."

Long Xiang didn't think much about it, rested in Niuzhu for the night, and then went to Shicheng the next day to try.

Han Zong was shocked by the Tiger Guard, and because he was forced to be incorporated into the Lei Xu Army, he was willing to lead the way-by to earn the city and open the way.

In ten days, the four counties of Longxiang Lianke Shicheng, Danyang, Wuhu and Liyang opened the roads to Wanling and Wuxian, which were so smooth that people felt like they were in a dream.

Before the expedition in Hefei, Lu Su and Long Xiang had repeatedly deduced, and finally decided that in order to prevent the enemy from being attacked on the belly and back, Danyang should be taken first and then enter Wu County, and it is expected that it will take two months to enter Wu County.

According to Sun Quan's experience in several expeditions to the west, it would take at least 100 to half a year to go out once, and Long Xiang needed to take advantage of the time difference to take Wu County, but the reality had changed.

In mid-December, on the day of the capture of Liyang County, Lu Su proposed a bold plan, in which he suggested that Long Xiang divide his troops to deal with Danyang and Wu County.

That is, leaving one army to defend Liyang, and the remaining three armies will go straight to Wu County, Sun Quan's old nest, if they can find a way to avoid Wucheng, then they will be able to come to Wu County at the end of the month.

Liyang is an important town of Lishui, west to Wuhu, the Yangtze River, east to Yangxian, Zhenze (Taihu Lake), to the south through cold water to Wanling, and Lishui is the Yangtze River back to Wu the nearest road, if Longxiang Tun soldiers in Liyang, it is equivalent to Hefei to hold Huainan.

Han Dang either fought the city to return to help, or went east over the mountains and mountains to return to Wu through his hometown and Wucheng.

This defensive counterattack strategy was originally particularly in line with Long Xiang's style of play, but Liyang did not operate like Hefei, and no matter the fortification of the city and the grain and grass and military supplies, they were far from being comparable to Hefei.

Seeing Long Xiang's frowning and hesitating, Lu Su persuaded him earnestly: "This time we cross the river to fight, if we want to succeed, we must fight quickly, if Han Dang sticks to Wanling, won't he miss the opportunity?" Once it is delayed until Sun Quan returns to the division, everyone will not be able to return it, and Han Dang only has four or five thousand soldiers, leaving an army to guard Wanling, so there is no need to worry at all. ”

"I'm not worried about Han Dang, I'm afraid that Sun Quan will suddenly return to the army, and there is not much grain in Liyang, once it is surrounded, it will be dangerous" Long Xiang's face was full of solemnity.

Lu Sulang laughed and said: "Sun Quan has continued to use troops in the past few years, not to mention that there is not much grain in Liyang, Shicheng, Danyang, and Wuhu are not rich, and we have not committed any crimes in the autumn after crossing the river, and the people around the country may not continue to support Sun Quan;

Even if Sun Quan returns to Jiangdong in advance, but there is no largest granary Wu County, he will be more passive when the time comes, don't forget what Yao Xuan has done over the years, Danyang also has a lot of strong anti-Sun, maybe they will see the opportunity to help, but the premise is that we have to take Wu County, these people can make up their minds. ”

"In the opinion of Zijing, who will be left to guard Liyang?"

Long Xiang has been said to be moved at this time, but he is not sure who will defend the city, Xu Chu, Xu Ding, Lei Xu, and Chen Lan The four generals, following themselves and Lu Su, can do a good job, but it is difficult for them to take the lead alone, even Xu Chu, who is outstanding in martial arts, is almost there.

If you only consider defending Han Dang, Long Xiang can leave anyone at will, for fear that Sun Quan and Lu Meng will return early.

Sun Quan's subordinates such as Lu Meng and Huang Gai are quite scheming, and Long Xiang's four generals in Hefei are all typical reckless men, and no one can stop the entire Jiangdong Army alone.

What Long Xiang can think of, Lu Su can also think of.

"I know Yunqi's worries, so I have to come to guard Liyang, and you can leave a few battalions of soldiers at will."

"Zijing wants to stay? Then who will help me take Wu County? ”

Seeing Long Xiang's incredible expression, Lu Su replied solemnly:

"The wisdom of Yunqi is not below me, and the prestige and martial arts are far better than mine, so this time you can rest assured and bold, you have been in Hefei Taoguang for many years, and it is time for people to take off as their name."

"It's okay to fight in the field, but if you want me to command the siege, then"

Long Xiangyan's face was embarrassed, this time he attacked Jiangdong in the middle of winter, and he didn't carry any siege equipment, and even the grain and grass were replenished while walking, so he was not confident in defeating Wu County.

Lu Su smiled and said: "In the past, Sun Ce swept Jiangdong, and it was not that everything was fully prepared, this time we took advantage of the weakness to enter, and the fight was a surprise, as long as Yunqi arrived in Wu County smoothly, I expected that the city would be broken." ”

"That's fine."

Long Xiang's eyes became resolute, and he agreed with Lu Su's advice.

If you want to succeed in this era, you can't rely on outsiders for everything, just like Yuan Shao's decisive battle in Guandu, if he can be like Cao Cao, personally participate in saving the black nest or fighting Cao's camp, maybe the ending will change differently.

If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight.

When Long Xiang made up his mind, he made a decision that surprised Lu Su, he wanted to keep the most elite Tiger Guards.

The Tiger Guard Army has flying stone stunts, and Long Xiang thinks that it is Qu Cai to use it to attack the city, and this attack on Wu County is mainly a psychological battle, and this elite is not needed to make heads.

Lu Su had no choice but to agree, and finally retreated and ordered Xu Chu to allocate a battalion of tiger guards to be responsible for Long Xiang's safety.

At the time of the separation in Liyang, Lu Su sent Long Xiang outside the city, and reminded him earnestly: "Yunqi, Han Zong betrayed his father, you must use it carefully, be careful to drive the wolf if you can't do it, and you will be injured by the wolf."

"Zijing, don't worry, I know it in my heart."
