Han Xiang

Chapter 486

Lu Meng refused to explain because of his face, and Long Xiang happened to have multiple reasons for turning against him.

But Wu Bing looted the rest station like a bandit. This stupid move made Long Xiang unexpected, thinking that you really didn't take me seriously?
If a tiger doesn't show off its power, does it really treat me as a sick cat?
Before the rest station withdrew from Hefei, Long Xiang had already received information from Chen Lan, and also knew that Jiangdong troops had gone to Liyang.

Sure enough, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. Even though Lu Meng became the governor more than ten years in advance, the high-spirited young man still made a shady move.

The three axes commonly used by Jiangdong people are feigning surrender, feigning illness, and sneak attack.

Long Xiang said in his heart that luckily I had the foresight, this time I will take good care of you for the second master.

Since Chen Lan's troops only had 5000 people, Long Xiang was worried that Lu Meng's increase of troops would make him suffer, so he called Lei Xu to lead his troops to Junqiu County to support him.

In this way, half of Hefei's six armies were sent out, and the two city defense armies had the important task of defending the city. Long Xiang only had Xu Ding's army available, which was the capital he left to deal with Zhang Liao.

Long Xiang didn't care about Lu Meng's attitude now. Anyway, no navy could stop the Jiangdong warships, and if Lu Meng wanted to go ashore to attack the city, he would be making trouble for himself.

After dispatching Lei Xu to support Chen Lan, Long Xiang focused on Lu'an and Shouchun, and he asked Cao Xing to report on the situation every day.

Once the conditions are ripe, Longxiang will decisively send troops from Hefei.

If you don't move, you will be done, and if you move, you will succeed.

If there is no pressure on Chen Lan's side in the final action, Long Xiang will also transfer Lei Xu to his side and use his superior force to eat Cao Jun in Huainan.

What Chen Lan did in Liyang was like lighting a fire in the backyard, which disrupted Lu Meng's rhythm. At this time, the good atmosphere in Shouchun was also disturbed by the information from Jiangjunling.

Cao Bing, who was instigated by Mi Heng, sent three parts false and seven parts true information to Shouchun, saying that Tai Shici led tens of thousands of troops to Lu'an.

In order to control the rebellion of the soldiers, Cao Cao implemented the wrong service management system for the soldiers, that is, he used Yuzhou soldiers to attack Hebei, and used Yanzhou soldiers to defend Yuzhou. Generals and soldiers rebelled.

In history, Zhong Hui killed Deng Ai and wanted to learn from Liu Bei to rule Shu and become king, but the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who entered Shu lived in the Central Plains, and no one was willing to pay for his ambition. In the end, Zhong Hui failed.

Mi Heng was able to successfully instigate rebellion, and his eloquence was only one aspect, which was mainly assisted by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao gave Zhang Liao the right to recruit soldiers on the spot, so Zhang Liao recruited thousands of recruits in Shouchun, some of whom were sent to garrison Jiangjunling.

These recruits are all natives of Huainan, and they have heard many good stories about Long Xiang over the years. If Cao Cao hadn't forced him to Shouchun, they would have gone to Hefei with a high probability.

Mi Heng and Huainan Jiangzu hit it off, each taking what they needed and helping each other.

When Li Dian saw the military situation sent by his own people, although he suspected that Tai Shici's military strength had suddenly increased, he had no choice but to send someone south to verify it under the watchful eyes of the governor Liu Fu.

A team of more than [-] scouts rode to the north of Lu'an [-] miles away, and were accidentally discovered by Tai Shici's scouts.

Shouchun's sentries rushed to fight, and finally five of them died in battle, and the rest flew back to report.

This unexpected encounter caused Li Dian and Tai Shici to have their own ideas.

After checking the situation, Li Dian hesitated whether to send troops to rescue Zhang Liao. After all, Tai Shici's scouts had a long range of vigilance, which indirectly showed that the opponent had sufficient troops, and Liu Fu also offered an assist at the critical moment.

Liu Fu was in charge of internal affairs and military ration allocation. He immediately thought that Tai Shici was blocking the north of Lu'an, intending to cut off Zhang Liao's supply line, so that the defenders of Lu'an would not attack.

Li Dian was disturbed by Liu Fu, so he ordered [-] plays and went south from the city.

Not all of the [-] tribes are combatants, but [-] of them are miscellaneous soldiers, who specialize in transporting food and grass for the army.

Considering that Taishi has many kind soldiers, Li Dian can't guarantee the length of the battle, and doesn't expect Liu Fu, who doesn't fight, to help, so he makes arrangements before going out.

Although Li Dian made a hasty decision, he was careful during the march.

Lu'an and Shouchun formed a corner. Breaking the vice city first and then attacking Shouchun is in line with the art of war, but it is also necessary to prevent Jiangdong from diverting the tiger away from the mountain. Therefore, Li Dian did not take the shortcut along Shaopi when he went south, but first marched against Feishui to the south , travel to the upper reaches of the Feishui River and cross the river to the southwest.

Li Dian preferred to choose a longer route in order to prevent the enemy from attacking by water.

At this time, there were only a thousand soldiers left in Shouchun's garrison, and Cao Cao could not take care of the Huainan battlefield now, so Li Dian had to be more cautious.

If Li Dian encounters a Jiangdong warship on the way, Li Dian will have time to retreat in time.

In the first month of the lunar year, it is freezing cold, and the rivers in Huainan have thin ice in the morning, but it will melt by noon.

Feishui is in the dry season at this time, occasionally being rippled by the northwest wind, but there are no waves, and the river flows quietly.

Li Dian's two-day march was like peaceful Feishui, without any waves on the way.

From Shouchun to Liu'an for more than three hundred miles, it takes about six days for a normal march.

In order to quickly reinforce Zhang Liao, Li Dian did not bring too much baggage. He planned to spend four days arriving, so he went to Chengde the next evening.

Chengde was also desolate due to the war. Liu Fu planned to farm in Shaopi for a few years, and then move some people back when the population increased, so Chengde was an empty city at this time.

Lu Su monitored in real time through the binoculars and was sure that Li Dian would go to Chengde to rest the next day, so he led the tiger guards to ambush in the city ahead of time, intending to catch Li Dian in an urn.

Unexpectedly, Li Dian did not enter the city when he traveled to Chengde, but continued to march south while taking advantage of the twilight.

An hour later, the sky completely darkened, and Li Dian stopped to camp by the river to rest.

Although the city is sheltered from the wind and rain, it takes a lot of time to get in and out of the city. Li Dian doesn't want to waste time on the road, and he doesn't want to find accommodation in advance like traveling. It's all about when it gets dark and when he stops to rest.

When Li Dian led his troops away, two people flashed out from Chengde City, both holding binoculars to observe.

After a while, Xu Chu put down the binoculars, clasped his fists and asked, "Mr. Zijing, Li Dian didn't fall into your trap, what should we do next?"Should I go directly to Shouchun? "

Lu Su shook his head lightly: "The city of Shouchun is so strong that we don't have any siege equipment, so we can only take it by chance and not attack by force, and if these thousands of people are sent to Lu'an, Tai Shici will be in danger, we have to find another ambush Point, we need to pull out some of Cao Jun's clothes, so that someone pretending to be Li Dian can break through the city."

"Can you make it?"

Xu Chu widened his eyes and reminded: "According to Li Dian's marching speed, it is estimated that we will reach Lu'an in two days."

Lu Su nodded in affirmation: "Of course it's too late, you can also make people move, Li Dian is so hardworking, let's not be lazy, we have to cross the Fei River overnight, and go to the upstream crossing point to wait."

"I can save it."

After Xu Chu answered, he asked again, "It's not close from Chengde to the end of Feishui River. How can we determine where Li Dian crosses the river?"

"Don't worry, Zhongkang, I have a backup."

Seeing Lu Su stroking his beard and smiling confidently, Xu Chuxin said that it was fortunate that you were with him, if he encountered such an unexpected situation, he would not be so calm.
