Seeing Long Xiang's serious look, Lu Su realized that the other party was not joking.

"I didn't hear that Gong Jin was seriously ill and died at a young age. I don't know if there will be unrest in Jiangdong. Even Yun Qi didn't expect it, right?"

"Beyond my expectations."

Long Xiang understood what Lu Su meant, and he quickly shook his head in denial, saying in his heart that I can predict Sun Ce's early death, but I can't predict when Zhou Lang will be gone.

After all, his appearance has caused major changes in the historical pattern.

Cao Cao delayed the time to unify the north, and Liu Bei changed his plan to divide the world into three parts. There is a high probability that the Battle of Chibi will not happen.

Since the Battle of Chibi may not have happened, what is the significance of Zhou Yu’s existence in this plane?

Long Xiang remembered that Zhou Yu and Cao Ren fought for Nanjun in history, and died inexplicably after being injured by an arrow. However, it was surprising to die so early.

Lu Su nodded and said: "Gong Jin's talent is unparalleled in Jiangdong. His death is a loss to Sun Quan, but it will help us in our pursuit of Jiangdong. From now on, Hefei will have one less powerful enemy. Now that Jiangdong has lost its commander, there will be internal chaos. I can use it as an excuse."

I have friendship with Gong Jin, so I crossed the river to pay tribute and find out what was true, so as to prepare for sending troops in the future."

"No need."

Long Xiang shook his head and explained: "Zijing is unaware of something. There is no chaos in Jiangdong at the moment. Sun Quan personally rushed to Chaisang and asked the rear to continue to allocate grain and grass. I guess there is something new going on."

After listening, Lu Su twirled his beard and analyzed: "Yao Xuan said a few days ago that Gong Jin returned to Wu, and immediately after that, various places were preparing food and grass. It seems that the military operation in Jiangdong has been planned for a long time. I heard that Jingzhou suffered a flood last month.

I’m afraid they will still attack Jiangxia.”

Hearing this, Long Xiang suddenly frowned and asked: "Do you think Zhou Yu will cheat his death?"

"Why do you want to cheat your death?" Lu Su looked puzzled.

Long Xiang said to him: "If it weren't for Shanyue's collective rebellion last year, Shaxian City might have been destroyed. Maybe Zhou Lang was paralyzing Huang Zu?"

"It makes sense."

Lu Su nodded in affirmation: "The more Jiangdong uses troops against Jingzhou, the more beneficial it will be for us. Once the Yangtze River defense line is lengthened, it will be easier for us to fight to the other side."

Long Xiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I think it is too reluctant to take the east of Jiangdong with the power of Hefei, and Taishi Ci is guarding Liyang. We can't build warships and train naval forces in Chao Lake. Once Zhou Yu leads the naval army, we will cut off the retreat.

, no one who has crossed the river can return it.”

Lu Su echoed: "So your previous plan was very good. First find a way to win over Taishi Ci, and then break with Jiangdong. The order cannot be changed."

"well"

Long Xiang sighed: "Although Zhao Fan has a good impression of us, Taishi Ci is still unwilling to get in touch with us deeply, and the envoys and military advisors do not allow us to cause trouble. There is no way to attract Zhang Liao to fight with him, so we have no choice.

The fisherman will benefit by this method, and unless Sun Quan treats him poorly and creates a problem, it will be difficult to achieve this."

Lu Su comforted him with a smile: "Yunqi, don't be discouraged. I believe you have good luck. What if Gong Jin really dies suddenly?"

"Even if Zhou Lang is really not here, the Jiangdong naval force is very strong now. I'm afraid there will be no opponent in the world. If this problem is not solved, it will be difficult for me to make up my mind to fight across the river." Long Xiang kept his serious expression.

Lu Su stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and said: "Since the Jiangdong navy is invincible, why should Yunqi compete with them? We should give full play to our own advantages."

"Our advantage? That is to defend the city, but the city wall cannot be moved."

Long Xiang shook his head when he thought of this, thinking that it would be easier if he played a game. I could use the tactic of stacking turrets. The problem in the real world is much more complicated than in the game.

Lu Su smiled and said: "Our advantages are not limited to defending the city. Although the combat effectiveness on land is not as good as Cao's army, it is not weaker than Jiangdong's infantry and cavalry, especially General Xu's Tiger Guard."

Last year, the battle between Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci ended. Long Xiang reorganized and expanded his five battalions into six armies. However, in order to prevent blind expansion from causing Hefei to be overloaded, fewer quotas were directly given for the expansion.

More often than not, each battalion is separated first and then reorganized into a new army.

Chen Lan's ten thousand troops were divided into two, and he and Lei Xu served as generals respectively; the original strength of the city defense battalion remained unchanged, and the specifications were directly upgraded to the city defense army. Feng Zhong and Tang Hui served as generals in the old and new cities respectively; Xu Ding

, Cao Xing, and Liu Fu formed one army; only Xu Chu's Tiger Guard camp was expanded to 5,000 men, and then formed its own army called the Tiger Guard.

Long Xiang had been staying in Huainan for many years, and had established a narrow vision and unwillingness to expand. Therefore, even if there was an attacking force of 20,000 people, his neighbors Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci were unaware of it.

When it comes to the Tiger Guards, Long Xiang is proud.

Based on the more than a thousand steps brought by Xu Chu, it is no problem to train a strong team. Xu Chu once defeated Han Hao outside Xujia Village. As long as the original veterans are not wiped out, the Tiger Guards'

The combat effectiveness will always be maintained.

However, Hefei had few war horses and no warships, so Long Xiang felt that relying on the Tiger Guards alone was not enough.

Seeing Long Xiang frowning in thought, Lu Su couldn't help but remind him: "Yunqi, have you forgotten that we have a telescope? Even fighting in the wild has a greater advantage. Jiangdong's total army is larger than ours, but its combat effectiveness is not

Compliment, as long as we lead them to fight on land, I am still very confident that we can win."

"It's good that Zijing has confidence." Long Xiang nodded and asked: "I'm good at commanding a few thousand people, but I'm not good at commanding too many. The key is how to lead the enemy ashore?"

Lu Su smiled and said: "I can't talk about war on paper. I can only adapt to local conditions and the time, and then use strategies and tactics. In short, we must first understand the situation in Jiangdong."

"Okay, let Yao Xuan continue to inquire. If Zhou Yu really dies suddenly, the people he has secretly developed in the past two years can slowly be used," Long Xiang said thoughtfully.

Lu Su nodded in agreement: "Taking advantage of the internal and external troubles in Jiangdong, Yun Qi will definitely achieve great success. When the emperor's uncle seizes Guanzhong, we will echo each other in Yangzhou, and there is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty."

Long Xiangxin said that Liu Bei invited Kong Ming in advance, and I helped contain Cao Cao in Huainan, so the success rate of reviving the Han Dynasty was greatly improved.

Based on the current situation, Zhuge Liang decided to take the strategy of occupying Handong first and then Guanzhong. Now it is slowly being implemented as planned. It can be seen that his vision and strategy are superior to Lu Su, Liu Ye, and Xu Shu.

Two months ago, Long Xiang asked Xu Wei to secretly send the telescope, which should be the icing on the cake. Now his attention has been entirely focused on Jiangdong.

Regardless of comparison in terms of population, military strength, and generals, Hefei is much smaller than Jiangdong. He cannot be like Sun Ce, who can lead his troops to crush and sweep all the way without worries.

There are many family members in Hefei, as well as his own wife and children, so as long as the conditions are not mature enough, Long Xiang will never break with Sun Quan easily.

At the end of July, when Jiangdong was besieging Sha Xian with heavy troops and fighting fiercely, Yao Xuan sent the news of Zhou Yu's burial and also brought a piece of good information to Long Xiang.
