Han Xiang

Chapter 392

Da da da.
The sound of horseshoes from far to near disturbed Tai Shici's thoughts.

Tai Shici looked around, and saw a general riding his horse into the dust, and soon stopped beside the rice field.

The person who came was Zhao Fan, Tai Shici's guard captain. The two first met in Liu Yao's army, and later formed a life-and-death friendship in the battle of Shentingling. His other code name is more famous, that is, Qu'a Junior.

Although Zhao Fan is a young general in Qu'e, his age is almost the same as Tai Shici's. He fled to Jiangdong during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and because of his background in Guizhou, he had no chance to make his mark.

The reason why he is called a teenager is not because of his young age, but because of his low position.

At that time, together with Tai Shici to capture Sun Ce, Zhao Fan was only the leader of the camp, and he was the lowest rank officer in the army.

Seeing Tai Shici's rhetoric, Zhao Fan, who is nearly [-] years old, does not want to be a salted fish anymore. He was surprised by his job and planned to gamble on this opportunity and use the other party's name to make a name for himself.

In the battle of Shentingling, Zhao Fan used all his skills to hold back the twelve horsemen for Tai Shici, and the two became life-and-death friends.

Seeing Zhao Fan returning from reconnaissance, Tai Shici strode out from the field to welcome him.

"How's the situation?"

"Not good."

Zhao Fan frowned, approached Tai Shici and whispered: "Then Chen Lan seems to have been prepared for a long time. He set up a lookout post at the southern pass of Fuling. If he wants to check the situation of Quanjiao and Fuling, he must either go over the mountain or go around. Chaohu."

"Since there is a lookout post, unless you go over the mountain at night, as for the detour around Chaohu Lake." Tai Shici shook his head and continued: "There are fishing boats and cargo boats on the lake. According to Yu Gongcao's introduction, they should be from Hefei. Our whereabouts can easily be leaked."

Zhao Fan nodded and nodded: "If it is true according to what Marquis Wu said, if we pretend to be bandits to harass the people, no matter where we go, we will not be able to attack by surprise, but will expose our identities. Do you think there will be fraud in this?"

"What do you mean?" Tai Shici narrowed his eyes.

Zhao Fan looked left and right: "General, we just arrived in Liyang the day before yesterday, but Chen Lan seems to have gotten the news a long time ago. I just met a woodcutter nearby, and he told me that as early as ten days ago, the pass was closed. We started to build a lookout post, it seems that it is specially guarding against us, and suspects that Jiangdong has secret agents or insiders."

"With Chen Lan's strength, there will be no traitors who will fall in love with him. As for the details, it's hard to say."

"General, don't forget about Chen Lan's origin. Now Yuan Shu's old headquarters are all in Wu County. There should be many friends of him there. Maybe someone will send him news?"

"When Yuan Shu was defeated, he wanted to vote for Chen Lan but was rejected. He still had friends of Chen Lan in his old department? I don't think the possibility is high, but there is another possibility." Tai Shici frowned, remembering Yu Fan's words before leaving.

Seeing Zhao Fan's face asking for knowledge, Tai Shici didn't want to make him worry, so he ordered: "Since Chen Lan is prepared, he has no choice but to forgo the surprise attack on the rice fields. He has more troops than us, so he has to leave scouts in the north instead. You can't let the other party destroy our chicken coop without stealing the other party's chicken, and you will be responsible for this matter."

"Wei." Zhao Fan clasped his fists clangingly.

Before Yu Fan left Liyang, he had told Tai Shici to defend carefully.

Because Zhou Yu and all the generals suggested Xu Kun, it was Zhang Zhao who recommended him and Sun Quanquan overruled all the opinions, so he gave Liyang Duwei to Tai Shici.

Tai Shici felt the competition within Sun Ce's army when he marched west to Huangzu, otherwise he would not have been left idle in Yuzhang. This time, it is most likely that someone deliberately revealed it so that he could embarrass himself in front of Chen Lan.

You all lost in Huainan like this, you still have to fight among yourself?

Tai Shici planned to report the military information truthfully, but he didn't want to pay attention to how Sun Quan would deal with it, let alone get involved in the battles of the generals group. He just reminded Sun Quan that he could not be self-sufficient, and the follow-up supplies of food and grass had to be provided in a timely manner.

Sun Quan received Tai Shici's letter and guessed Jiangdong Wenwu all over, but he couldn't guess who was cheating, because the person who informed Chen Lan was not Jiangdong's insider at all.

Long Xiang was very surprised when Tai Shici became Lieutenant General of Liyang. He played a lot of Three Kingdoms games. Tai Shici and Gan Ning were the top two generals in Jiangdong.

It's just that Tai Shici died too early and was absent from various battles during the Three Kingdoms period.

Now that Sun Ce is dead, Gan Ning has not voted yet.

The only person in Jiangdong who can compete with Xu Chu is probably the Liyang Duwei Tai Shici.

Surrendered generals are usually used to fight tough battles. Cao Cao used the surrendered general Zhang Liao to guard Shouchun, and Sun Quan also used the surrendered general Tai Shici. Is this a match?

Tai Shici is neither Sun Jian, Sun Ce's former subordinates, nor Jiangdong's local generals, but a surrendered general like Ji Ling, or a surrendered general who has no foundation at all.

After Long Xiang learned about Tai Shici's life, he felt that the relationship between this person and the Sun family was not deep, maybe he could help the emperor win over?Therefore, the original plan to trap the enemy was changed, and Chen Lan was deliberately asked to build a watchtower to confront him. The watchtower in the east of Chaohu Lake was also equipped with a telescope.

With the watchtower and binoculars, you can have a panoramic view of Liyang's movements.

Winning and fighting for opportunities requires opportunities, and Long Xiang doesn't mind spending time waiting. Anyway, Liu Bei has not gained power yet. As the saying goes, it's never too late for a good meal, and Hefei New City also needs peaceful construction.

Cao Xing's cavalry battalion was stationed in Hefei New City. During the communication with Cao Xing, Lu Su accidentally discovered that Long Xiang paid special attention to Li Yang, so he rushed to the old city to ask Long Xiang.

"During this time, the construction of the new city is busy, and the rice planted in the first half of the year is also being harvested. According to Yunqi's past habits, he should often visit the site for inspection and guidance. Why haven't we seen you recently?"

"After so many years of experience, Jianguo has the ability to be on his own. As for harvesting rice, don't you have to do it? I happen to be taking a break during this time." Long Xiang smiled disapprovingly.

Lu Su pointed at Long Xiang and smiled mysteriously: "If Yun Qi sneaked out to accompany the two siblings, Lu Su would not be here today, but I heard that you often run to Chaohu and Fuling recently, as if you were obviously monitoring Tai Shici, right? I haven't seen you caring about anyone so much, what's the difference between Tai Shici?"

"Don't Zijing think that Tai Shici is very similar to me? I also abandoned the old master to seek self-reliance. The difference is that I took root in Hefei, while Tai Shici was defeated by Sun Ce, desperate to surrender the short-lived little overlord. After saying that, Long Xiang shook his head regretfully.

"Tai Shici was too anxious to make trouble, so he was quickly defeated by Sun Ce before he was dealt with. He was famous as a young man and you didn't admire fame, which also made your ending different." Lu Su stroked his beard after analyzing, and reminded Long Xiang sternly: "Tai Shici is a loyal person, it is almost impossible for Yun Qi to instigate against him."

Long Xiang smiled happily and said, "We have counselors and generals in Hefei, but we are really short of a general like Tai Shici. We still have to have hope. If a person has no ideals, what is the difference from a salted fish?"

Lu Su joked with a smile: "Yun Qi really wants to recruit a general, why not work hard on Zhang Liao, you and him have a friendship of giving barbecues, maybe the chance is better, Zhang Liao should be more capable of commanding troops."
