Chapter 561: Lu Fan threatens Wuxi City
In the first month, the weather is cold and the farmers are idle.
It was the most deserved time of the year to rest, but Jiangdong was as lively as spring ploughing.
Long Xiang's stall was spread wide at this time, and there were very few people who could use it, and he was in Wu except for Lu Su, so neither of them was idle.
Sun Quan was defeated and did not retreat and stayed in the Yangtze River, Zhu Huan and Chen Lan had just taken over Wanling, and the 20,000 soldiers who had been collected needed time to integrate, and the complicated affairs could only be coordinated by Lu Su.
On the way back to Wu County, Long Xiang lamented that Hefei's talent reserve was insufficient.
Xu Chu, Lei Xu, Chen Lan and others can be trapped, but they do not have the ability to take charge alone.
Zhu Huan can train generals, but he hasn't fully recognized himself yet, and he still needs time to precipitate and observe.
Since Lu Su has been cut off, Long Xiang doesn't mind cutting off another big governor, and Lu Xun can use it in advance.
By the way, he seems to be called Lu Yi now.
At the end of the first month, Long Xiang led his troops to the south of Wu County.
Through the clairvoyant mirror, Long Xiang was surprised to find that there were soldiers besieging the city.
He suddenly had a bad premonition, and said that Wuxi had already been lost?
As Long Xiang approached Wu County, the besieging soldiers were actually very 'knowledgeable', and after discovering it, they took the initiative to retreat, and there was no intention of blocking the reinforcements from entering the city.
Long Xiang entered the city to inquire and found out that Lu Fan had besieged the city for five days.
However, because the troops were advancing very quickly, they did not prepare ladders, rushing cars and other equipment, so far they have not actually attacked the city, and they have also played psychological warfare of besieging but not attacking.
Although Lu Fan is a learner, this trick is really good.
Although Zhang Zhao surrendered to Longxiang with hundreds of officials, there were many people who were forced to helpless, and they were the beneficiaries under Sun Quan's rule, so they still fought back to the Sun family.
When the Guangling army arrived in Wu County, those who secretly supported the Sun family, just like the local scholars at that time, privately engaged in a series of attempts to subvert and try to emulate Zhang Zhao to do it again.
Fortunately, Long Xiang left Xu Ding and Hao Meng two generals, one of them was in charge of the outside and the other was in charge of the inside, ensuring that the order in the city was as usual.
Long Xiang frowned after listening to the report, and Xu Ding added:
"Yunqi don't worry, these people General Hao has already mastered, if you can't kill a few to make an example."
"Forget it, I come from a humble background and lack fame, so people don't look down on extenuating circumstances, so why bother to kill more?"
As soon as Long Xiang Huang fell, he suddenly remembered Zhao Fan who was stationed in Wuxi.
Then he asked: "I think Lu Fan has a lot of troops, it should be around 15,000, could it be that Wuxi has been lost?" ”
Xu Ding shook his head and replied: "It shouldn't be yet, although General Zhao has few troops, but he has the ability to defend, before Lu was trapped in Wu County, I sent someone to Wuxi to investigate, and found that Lu Fan also left soldiers and horses over there, and it should be Wu County who came directly bypassing Wuxi." ”
"I see."
Long Xiang frowned, and said to himself: "It seems that Chen Yuanlong didn't contain it, Lu Fan actually brought more than 20,000 people, blame me for underestimating his lack of preparation, so that Bo Chang was in trouble, and this person is very flexible in using troops, he didn't waste too much time in Wuxi, but left a small number of soldiers and horses to watch."
Xu Ding was about to take Long Xiang back to his house, when suddenly a scout rushed to deliver a message, saying that Lu Fan had indicated that he wanted to see Long Xiang outside the city.
"Yunqi? Look at this."
"Let's go, let's go and meet this Guangling Taishou first."
"Yui."
Long Xiang had just entered the city and said a few words, but before he had time to drink saliva, he hurried to the East City Tower.
Ascending the city tower and looking down, I found that the general of the city was dressed in silver armor and was very eye-catching.
"Yunqi, that's Lu Fan, quite eloquent, be careful."
Xu Ding reminded in a low voice, leaned forward to hold on to the wall tiles, and shouted down: "Lu Ziheng, my general is here, just say anything." ”
Lu Fan took a few steps forward, clasped his fists and saluted: "General Long, don't come unharmed, I remember that a few years ago, I had a relationship with the general in Hefei, and I don't want to change to Wu County today."
"I've forgotten"
Long Xiang's tone of reply was very flat, and he really didn't have much impression of Lu Fan.
Last year, the battle of Hefei was very chaotic, and he had not seen a famous Jiangdong general when he was chasing and killing, and Lu Fan said that a few years ago, he attacked Hefei with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and as the main general of a besieged city, he had seen Long Xiang under the city.
Seeing that Long Xiang didn't even have a polite word, Lu Fan couldn't get off the stage in front of the trilogy, so he immediately teased in a deep voice: "General Long's sneak attack on Wu Di, this move should be famous all over the world, how can you put Lu in your eyes?" However, you rely on dishonorable means to take away the foundation of the Sun family, and you may not be able to live here, and now the general will lead the army south, and Wu Hou is also leading the troops back to help."
"Huh."
Long Xiang only smiled at Lu Fan's threat, and replied coldly: "Sneak attack? General Lu has been in battle for a long time, how can he say things like a woman? I heard that you once raised troops with Sun Bofu, at that time he was just a general under Yuan Shu, your so-called Sun family foundation, it seems that the original surname is not Sun, how can I not be disgraced? In addition, Wu Hou you are looking forward to, I'm afraid that he won't come back to help."
"What do you mean?"
Lu Fan's face changed greatly when he heard the end, and it was too late to entangle with Long Xiang about other things.
Long Xiang smiled faintly and replied: "Your Marquis Wu was defeated by me, and most of the tens of thousands of soldiers were surrendered, and now he fled to the Yangtze River by boat, can he still come to help?" ”
"No, it can't be."
Lu Fan's eyes widened, and he waved his hand and said: "It must be your nonsense, wanting to disturb our army's heart to relieve the siege of Wu County, when Lu Mou is taking advantage of the rotten Confucianism?" ”
"Haha."
Long Xiang shook his head and laughed, "Isn't this proof that I can appear in Wu County?" But believe it or not, if you want to attack the city, you will come directly."
"This"
Lu Fan's face turned blue with shock, and then he rolled his eyes and said: "Long Yunqi, don't be complacent, even if I can't defeat Wu County, I can attack Wuxi with all my might, I don't believe that those hundreds of people can block my 20,000 army." ”
"And then?"
Seeing Long Xiang's disapproving face, Lu Fan gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't save you when you see death, I won't leave any of those hundreds of people, I really feel unworthy for your subordinates, and I will leave."
After Lu Fan finished speaking, he turned his horse's head back to the battle, and Xu Ding was so angry that he slapped his palm on the city wall.
"Yunqi, let's kill it!"
"Bo'an can't be reckless, I brought these five thousand people to be tired and tired, and it will take two days to rest, and going out of the city at this time is in the middle of Lu Fan's plan."
"But General Zhao, they."
In addition to the main general Zhao Fan in Wuxi, there are also a thousand tiger guards, many of whom are children of Xujia Village, so Xu Dingcai is not calm.
Long Xiang saw Xu Ding's concern, patted his arm lightly, and comforted: "Bo'an still doesn't know me yet? When have I ever abandoned a part? ”
"Uh, I lost my word."
Xu Ding suddenly remembered how Long Xiang fled back to Shouchun with his subordinates in Xujia Village, and it was because of this that their brothers resolutely went to Hefei to defect.
Long Xiang ignored Lu Fan's threat, and at this time, Hao Meng also heard the news and came over, and the two then rushed back to Taishou Mansion.
As soon as he stepped into the mansion gate, he saw Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Qin Song, Yu Chuan and others coming up, as if waiting for Long Xiang to call the shots.
Zhang Zhao bowed his hands on behalf of the crowd and asked the questions they were most concerned about.
"General Long, are you back so soon? I heard that Wu Hou had led his troops to Liyang? ”
"Haha, please rest assured."
Long Xiang smiled and added: "We just won a big victory in Lishui, Sun Zhongmou fled to the Yangtze River with the defeated army, and now there is no remnant enemy on the Lishui line, and coming back is to solve the danger of Lu Fan." ”
