Chapter 207 Meeting Ceremony

Seeing that Lu Su was so sure, Liu Ye asked curiously:

"Does Zijing have something to say? Shouchun has been widely circulated, saying that Chen Duan lured Yan Xiang to Bishui to capture and kill him. This person was originally Sun Ce's mastermind. He heard that Sun Ce had long wanted to attack Xudu. He listened to Sun Quan's instigation. It's also reasonable."

Lu Su frowned and shook his head gently: "I don't deny that the Sun family has the heart to aspire to the Central Plains. Sun Quan is not a simple boy, but he will never cause such a big storm at the beginning of his succession. Don't forget that he is Yan Xiangju. It is even more impossible for everyone to know about his talent."

"Who does that Zijing think?" Liu Yexu asked back.

Lu Su replied: "Mei Chengjiu occupied the magpie's nest, and he got the most benefits, so he is also the most suspected at present. In addition, Li Shu is also a possibility. I heard that Chen Duan has been in Lujiang."

"Mei Cheng?"

Liu Ye looked disdainful: "This guy is not even as good as Zheng Bao, how could he have deceived Yan Xiang? Besides, Chen Duan is Sun Ce's mastermind, and his family and relatives are all in Jiangdong, and Li Shu has now turned his back on him. How could Chen Duan help him?" He does something?"

Lu Su added: "Yan Xiang has always been warm and soft to win over the forces in the northern part of Lujiang. Maybe Mei Cheng pretended to surrender? I still think he is the most suspected."

Seeing the heated discussion between the two, Long Xiang joined in: "No matter who Chen Duan is instigating, Yan Xiang has been killed now, and the shit pot is temporarily held on Sun Quan's head. We only need to sort and analyze Sun Quan's opponents, and the result is clear at a glance."

Lu Su snapped his fingers and began to list: "Sun Quan's opponents are the opponents of the Sun family. The insiders in Jiangdong are excluded, and the outsiders are Chen Deng, Li Shu, Huang Zu, Liu Biao and us."

Liu Ye said to himself: "Needless to say, Huang Zu and Liu Biao are too far away from Huainan. I think it's not worth it to simply use Yan Xiang's death to disgust Sun Quan. The Chen family in Xuzhou has always been close to the court. Even if they want to deal with Sun Quan, He will not trap and kill the governor, and what benefit will Li Shu get from killing Yan Xiang? If he takes the opportunity to occupy Shouchun, it will make sense."

"Can't it be a joint case?"

Long Xiang interrupted the two of them, and asked further: "Maybe the two of them get what they need?"

Lu Su nodded slightly: "Previously, Mei Cheng was entrenched in the area of ​​Yan Mountain and Yan County, which was quite close to Li Shu's control area. There is a possibility of secret communication, but the key point is that Mei Cheng actually took advantage of it. Got what? He's not a good stubble."

"Perhaps he just wanted to pour dirty water on Sun Quan? Don't forget that in the past two months, how many refugees fled to the north of Lujiang River, and the people in Jiangdong might be happy to see this behavior," Liu Ye echoed.

"hiss"

Lu Su gasped.

Long Xiang joked with a smile: "It's still more efficient to use the result inversion method. Let's continue to analyze it. It is estimated that the murderer will be found soon."

Seeing that Lu Su, Liu Ye, and Long Xiang chatted more and more vigorously, Zhang Fei, who was listening, couldn't bear it any longer.

He interrupted in a rough voice: "Don't analyze it anymore. Is it important to know the murderer now? We have no obligation to help Sun Quan's son be rehabilitated."

"What did Yide want to say?" Long Xiang asked with a smile.

Zhang Fei had a serious face: "The top priority is to restore the news of the Central Plains, otherwise I will have a very uncomfortable stay in Hefei."

Long Xiang shook his head lightly: "Zi Yang was right just now, the court will send a new governor, we have to wait for this."

Zhang Fei frowned and asked, "If Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can't finish fighting in half a year, I'll wait for half a year; if they can't finish fighting in one year, I'll wait for a year? When will I see my eldest brother? Can't we take the initiative?"

Lu Su was curious, and leaned over to ask, "Active? How can I be active?"

"Since Mei Cheng is a mob, why don't we lead our troops north to capture Shouchun, and we send people to find out the news, so as not to wait for others."

Zhang Fei raised his bowl-sized fist while speaking, looking confident.

Long Xiang and Lu Su looked at each other, and said to you, Sanye, how dare you think, he used to be a city gate official in Shouchun, and Shouchun used to be the capital of Yuan Shu, but if Meicheng knows how to defend the city, Hefei these few days Thousands of people are not enough.

Lu Su saw that Long Xiang was in trouble, so he stood up and said, "Yide made things simple. The Hefei cavalry battalion has a total of [-] horses. They can't even find out all the news about Huainan. Yan Xiang was trapped and killed without any information. Even if we capture Shouchun, what can we do? How far can we send Tanma?"

"Ah this."

Zhang Fei scratched his head, turned around and looked to Liu Ye for help.

Liu Ye explained with a smile: "If Mei is like Liu Zong, she can naturally take Shouchun without bloodshed, but how likely is this? With Hefei's current defenders, it is almost impossible to attack Shouchun by force. , we can also send sentries to probe deep into the Central Plains, but just like Zijing said, how far can our scouts go?"

Lu Su then added: "If Yun Qi sends troops to attack Shouchun, it will not only stimulate Li Shu in Lujiang, but also Sun Quan. He allowed us to take Quanjiao and Fuling because those two counties are remote and inappropriate. But Shouchun and Hefei are both strategically important cities, attacking Shouchun will reveal their ambitions."

"Balabala said so much, I just want to know the news of the elder brother."

Zhang Fei got impatient and sat down on the ground like a child losing his temper.

Seeing this, Long Xiang also squatted down, lightly patted Zhang Fei's arm, and comforted him: "Yide really don't worry, Shi Jun has only been with Yuan Shao for a few months, it will take time to collect the remnants? It will take time to gain Yuan Shao's trust." ? It doesn’t matter if you wait patiently for a few more months, I have to prepare some meeting gifts for the envoy.”

"What meeting ceremony?"

Zhang Feihei's face was full of doubts.

Long Xiang smiled and said: "Naturally, we should prepare some soldiers and horses. After Junqiu's summer harvest and autumn planting are over, Yide will go over there to recruit some soldiers. You can't let you take dozens of horses to meet the envoy."

"This is good, this is good"

Zhang Dezhi nodded, and then asked curiously: "If Mei Cheng still occupies Shouchun at that time, I can't wait forever, can I?"

"so."

Long Xiang thought for a while and said: "Your younger brother gets married at the end of the year, and Yide always drinks the wedding wine before leaving? If Meicheng still occupies Shouchun at that time, I will send someone to Runan to find the envoy, and I will not let you stay forever." Hold on."

Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, followed by a smile on his serious face.

"I almost forgot about Yun Qi's wedding wine, so of course I can't miss it. Madam said that the two young ladies of the Qiao family are extremely handy. When they sewed wedding dresses for themselves, they even prepared yours. You will be blessed for the rest of your life."

"Hehe. Hiss."

When Long Xiang responded with a smile, he suddenly felt a tremor in his back. It turned out that Zhang Fei was a little excited, so he patted him on the back.

Long Xiang said in his heart, Third Master, that you have to lose your energy, otherwise my waist might not be able to bear it, and whether I can enjoy life in the rest of my life depends on the hard work of these two parts.

The vicissitudes of the situation in Huainan did not disrupt Hefei's construction plan.

Shortly after taking over Junqiu County, Long Xiang began to draw the construction drawings of Hefei New City. He plans to start the construction of the new city in stages and projects starting from the fall of this year.

At the end of August, when the final draft of the construction drawings was coming to an end, Caoxing Cavalry Battalion received urgent information: an army of thousands of people had appeared in Xiang'an County, southeast of Chaohu Lake, with unknown motives.
