"Time is running out now. Zijing is in a hurry and can't think of a perfect strategy. I can accept paying a price, but Taishi Ziyi must be preserved. Having him set an example for Jiangdong soldiers will be of great help to us in taking Jiangdong."

"Taishi Ci is brave and good at fighting. If Zhang Liao and Li Dian want to destroy all his troops, I'm afraid it will take some trouble. I suggest that they be consumed first. When Liyang's troops and horses are almost exhausted, then they can regain Taishi Ci with half the effort, otherwise he will

It will be difficult to deal with it if you still focus on Sun Quan."

After listening to Lu Su's suggestion, Long Xiang shook his head without thinking, then frowned and said seriously: "There are not many generals available in Hefei. I really wanted to accept him for the envoy, but I deliberately waited until both sides were hurt, and waited until Taishi Ci was desperate before taking action. This

His behavior is a bit shameful. What if Taishi Ci is defeated and captured, or surrenders to Cao Cao?"

"What Yun Qi means is" Lu Su hesitated before speaking.

Long Xiang replied: "Zhang Liao formed this pocket formation, and the weak point is on Jiangjun Ridge. I plan to send a team of troops immediately and use the telescope to capture this place quietly. When Jiangjun Ridge is controlled by us, we will rescue Taishi.

Isn’t it so much easier to be kind?”

"That's a good idea."

Lu Su twirled his beard and nodded gently, then paced back and forth several times, his expression showing joy when he stopped.

"Perhaps by taking advantage of Shouchun, the breaking point is on Jiangjun Ridge."

Long Xiang asked with empty eyes: "How do you say that?"

Lu Su replied: "The sentry tower at Jiangjun Ridge is inconvenient to get up and down. I guess the officers and soldiers on the ridge mostly use flags to convey messages. By then, as long as a few people are caught alive and asked about the flags, they can mislead Zhang Liao and Li Dian."

"What a plan, what a plan." Long Xiang gave Lu Su a thumbs up.

Lu Su replied modestly: "This is just an idea. It takes time to think about the specific tactics."

Long Xiang waved his hand gently: "You go and spend your time as soon as possible, and I will mobilize people to take Jiangjunling."

"Who does Yunqi plan to let go?"

Lu Su first thought of Xu Chu. The core members of the Tiger Guard were all swordsmen with outstanding martial arts skills. Renxia swordsmen could often get twice the result with half the effort in such surprise attacks.

"It has to be Xu Zhongkang."

Long Xiang's answer was as expected by Lu Su, but he only guessed half of the answer, because Long Xiang added immediately: "I plan to ask Zhong Kang to bring you Zhengping with him."

Lu Su knew his intention as soon as he thought about it. Mi Heng's ability is not only to scold people, but also his quick thinking and eloquence that are unparalleled in the world. This specialty is also useful for dealing with small pawns.

Thinking of Jiangjunling's perfect victory, Lu Su's mood improved. He shook his robes and said goodbye to Long Xiang.

"Without further ado, I will take my leave first, and everyone will go about their business first. We will meet again when we have news about Cao Xing."

"I won't keep you here today. Zijing will go on his own."

Long Xiang raised his sleeves and stretched them forward, making a gesture of sending Lu Su off.

The two of them were about to walk out. Lu Suguang suddenly stopped as he stepped onto the stairs. Long Xiang stopped and turned around to look over curiously.

"What's wrong?"

"Yun Qi remembered to ask General Xu to use Chen Lan's name to act. If something happens on the way to seize the mountain, we will have a way to respond to Zhang Liao."

"Cao Jun hates Chen Lan so much that he is about to start a fight with Cao Cao. Zijing also plans to use him to deepen his impression? But it is appropriate."

After Long Xiang responded with a smile, he told Lu Su: "Speaking of Chen Lan, his sentry tower is also equipped with a telescope, so he should pay more attention to the movements of Liyang. Taishi Ci's family members are all over there, so be careful.

Sun Quan used underhanded tactics to take hostages."

"Zhang Liao has recruited new soldiers this year. He and Li Dian have more than 10,000 troops in total. Even if they use tactics, they will have to fight head-on. If Tai Shici leads his troops north, Yunqi won't bring Chen Lan to help in the battle? Isn't that right?"

Lu Su originally asked Long Xiang in return, but at the end he denied himself and shook his head and said to himself: "It is better for Chen Lan's troops to stay at the garrison. Once we break up with Sun Quan, there is no guarantee that he will not dispatch Lu Fan to fight from Guangling."

come over."

"Guangling Lu Fan?" Long Xiang shook his head disapprovingly and said with a smile: "Zijing has forgotten Chen Yuanlong in the east city? He will help me contain the soldiers in Guangling."

Lu Su said to him, "Even so, you should write a letter to remind him."

This year, Huainan was relatively peaceful, so Long Xiang kept his promise to the Chen family and arranged for Qiao to marry the daughter of Chen Denggang and Ji. Chen Deng and Long Xiang became indirectly related.

Lu Su believed that Chen Deng was repaying Hua Tuo for saving his life and would not necessarily provide military help to Long Xiang. After all, Xuzhou was nominally controlled by Cao Cao.

"Zijing, don't worry, I have my own concerns."

Long Xiang just shook his head lightly. Lu Su didn't know that the two had an agreement, that is, they would advance and retreat together at critical moments. Long Xiang believed that Chen Deng would definitely remember it.

Chen Deng guessed the relationship between Long Xiang and Liu Bei. The Chen family in Xuzhou and the Sun family in Jiangdong had never dealt with each other. Any reason could make Chen Deng keep an eye on Lu Fan.

After Lu Su left the prefect's mansion, Long Xiang immediately summoned Xu Chu and Mi Heng gave him instructions.

Xu Chu obeyed his advice as always, while Mi Heng, who was confused by Long Xiang, also looked pleased.

After all, Mi Heng is a thin civil servant who has never served in the army before. Now it is the first time for a big girl to get into the sedan chair.

Mi Heng was not interested in fighting with the army, but he was very much looking forward to causing trouble for Cao Cao. He bluntly said on the spot that no matter who made trouble for Cao Cao, he would still help with his mouth.

Jiangjun Ridge was defended by 500 Cao soldiers. Xu Chu picked 800 elite swordsmen for this purpose. They first took advantage of the night to hide at the foot of the mountain. They rested all night in the cold weather, and at dawn the next day, they divided into eight teams and headed to the top of the mountain from different directions.

Position climbing.

The eight hundred swordsmen were all highly skilled in martial arts and could cross mountains and ridges faster than ordinary soldiers. With the aid of vision through telescopes, they avoided the patrols of Cao soldiers along the way.

In winter, the days are short and dusk arrives quickly.

There was a sudden noise on the quiet mountain top. The Tiger Guards, who were dormant near several sentry towers, first used bows, arrows, throwing knives, stones and other objects to knock down all the surrounding security personnel, and then darted out like tigers out of a gate.

There was a clanging sound, and the fight lasted less than half an hour.

Of the 500 defenders, 220 were killed and 255 were injured. The remaining dozens surrendered voluntarily. Eight of the 800 Tiger Guards were slightly injured. Xu Chu easily captured Jiangjun Ridge.

Taishi Ci was about to cross the border via the road, and the prisoners and surrendered soldiers could not be transferred in time, so Mi Heng did "ideological work" on the spot, while Xu Chu sent people back to Fei to report the victory.

On the day that Xu Chu's soldiers returned to Fei, Cao Xing's scouts also returned from the Lujiang River. They found hundreds of Jiangdong warships, and the main ship was hoisted with a large flag with the word Lu.

Lu Meng took over the post of governor in Chaisang. Sun Quan had not had time to bring him to meet the ministers in Jiangdong, but the news had been sent back to Wu Commandery via grain ships.

Long Xiang also learned about the uproar in Wu County through the intelligence station.

Long Xiang didn't like Lü Meng, and thought that Sun Quan could let him take over, which meant that Lü Meng was his confidant.

Thinking of the history of crossing the river in white clothes, and remembering that the second master also died because of it, Long Xiang couldn't help but frown, thinking that he would quarrel with Sun Quan in the future, and he would definitely ravage this Wu Xia Amen.

There was something Long Xiang didn’t know. When Sun Ce sent Deng Dang to sneak into Hefei to cause rebellion, Lü Meng was actually with Deng Dang. He also moved bricks in Hefei for several months.
