019 Burning the Ship
Tang Hui saw this and said hurriedly: "Don't look at me, I don't understand..."
"If the more than 100,000 dendrobium grains are not disposed of properly, disaster will definitely happen. The family members who are going south to Hefei also need someone to restrain them. I don't worry about leaving this matter to others. Uncle Zhong is always meticulous in his actions, so he is the best candidate.
." Long Xiang looked at Feng Zhong with a serious face.
Feng Zhong scratched his head and asked, "Don't you have to die?"
"Are you a tiger? I understand. Yunqi didn't let Zhen die." Tang Hui's anxious tone was full of joy. It is natural that his old friend can resolve the crisis without dying. It is naturally the most perfect.
Feng Zhong ignored Tang Hui, but frowned and asked, "Yunqi wants me to stay in Hefei?"
"Not only will Uncle Zhong stay, but also the newly recruited soldiers will be hiding in Hefei and awaiting orders. When the fleet enters the boundaries of Xuzhou, I will fake your murder, so no one will know the secret of Hefei." Long Xiang
His face was full of solemnity.
"Yun Qi can't trust the new soldiers?" Feng Zhong frowned.
"That's not entirely true. After all, there are more than 100,000 grains, which is enough for everyone to eat for many years. However, you are afraid that the news will be leaked accidentally, or bandits will be summoned to plunder. Therefore, while you are in Hefei, you must strictly control everyone's whereabouts. Everyone only
To be able to move around in the city, each family's daily rations must be sufficient, but not too sufficient, otherwise it will easily cause trouble..."
Long Xiang gave detailed instructions. He felt that the military rations he had withheld were like the "Birthday Guide" in Water Margin, and like the Lin family's sword manual for warding off evil. Once exposed, big trouble would easily occur. It would be right to be cautious now.
Feng Zhong clasped his fists and said loudly: "Don't worry Yunqi, I will distribute the food properly. When the time comes, the gates of Hefei City will be closed, and the family members will have nothing to do to farm in the city. Such a big city is enough for hundreds of people to have fun, so this is okay.
It can prevent rogue bandits from attacking."
"I can rest assured that you will do the work." Long Xiang nodded heavily.
"Then we are going to..." Feng Zhong hesitated before speaking.
"It may be one or two years, maybe two or three years, but don't worry, Uncle Zhong, when the limelight of this matter passes, I will arrange for your family members to come to Hefei in batches to meet up." Long Xiang did not have an exact time. He knew that Yuan Shu would not live for a few years.
It's unclear when exactly he died, but in short, he was not far from death after becoming emperor.
When Yuan Shuzhong betrayed his relatives and left, he went south to live in Hefei. The location of Hefei was of extremely important strategic significance, and he would definitely win over the Sun and Cao families. By relying on the experience gained from his position as a project manager, he and the Wu and Wei families could make a living.
Snake, fanning the flames, may also be able to help Liu Bei gain development opportunities.
"With Yun Qi's character, Uncle Zhong is not worried about the soldiers and their families. He is worried that this incident will offend Lu Bu and Yuan Shu. He is worried that Yun Qi will not be able to escape unscathed..."
"Uncle Zhong, don't worry. If you don't have complete assurance, how can your nephew take the risk?"
"All right."
Based on Longxiang's project experience, on the premise that the budget is relatively sufficient, the design requirements will far exceed the quality standards. Therefore, making simple adjustments during the construction process can not only save costs and increase profits, but also potentially shorten the construction period.
But the current 'betrothal gift project' is no longer as simple as plucking the hair of the wild goose, but completely plucking the hair of the wild goose. In addition, the 'construction period' is not waiting for anyone, so Long Xiang can only make mistakes and play the game of Escape from the Golden Cicada.
plan.
Allocating half of Feng Zhong's soldiers, Long Xiang set out with his original two hundred troops. All his infantry disarmed and boarded the ship, and forty cavalry followed along the waterway.
Hundreds of grain ships with tooth flags set sail from Shaopi, passed the Feishui River and entered the Huai River. When the fleet passed Shouchun, Ji Ling's 100,000-strong army also set off at the same time.
From Shouchun to Xiapi, you can reach directly via the Huaisi River, but you have to follow the direction of the river and sail in zigzags. When Ji Ling went to Xiaopei, he took a straight line to the north and took the overland route.
Because Yuan Shu's betrothal gift consumed so much food, the provisions for the army of 100,000 and the recruitment of civilian men were all prepared in a hurry. Ji Ling needed to use extreme time to win. Once the stalemate with Liu Bei was reached, the army's follow-up supplies
Problems would arise, so even if Yuan Shu asked Ji Ling to set off later, he would still have to wait for the betrothal gift to silence Lu Bu. He did not want repeated servants with three surnames to help Liu Bei.
Long Xiang urged the grain ship to travel day and night. After three days, it left Jiujiang County and entered Xuzhou territory.
After several dozen miles of water travel, the fleet arrived at the Xutai section of the Huai River. The river formed a seven-character bend. Long Xiang ordered the fleet to dock and rest, and called Tang Hui to explain the deployment.
"Uncle Wei, we have been working hard on the boat for days. We still have to rest on the shore at night. We have been traveling day and night for seven or eight days."
"I'll give the order right away, but Yunqi, your so-called clever plan..."
Tang Hui hesitated to speak. The closer the fleet got to Xiapi, the less calm he became. After all, the ship was full of sand and rocks, and even Lu Bu's soldiers couldn't eat it. He thought that the secret was about to be revealed.
How could the general remain calm?
Long Xiang called Tang Hui aside, and with the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, he revealed his follow-up plan: "When the fleet passes the Huaisi water mouth and marches to Xiaxiang County, I estimate it will be three days later.
Set fire to it at night and burn all the boats carrying sediment."
"Is that enough?" Tang Wei scratched his head in confusion.
Long Xiang nodded lightly, "We escorted the grain ship here. We were attacked by unknown gangsters at night. As a result, the ship was destroyed, people were killed, and the grain was sunk. All parties will be responsible for this result."
"But there are no enemies. Even if Yun Qi wants to frame the blame, he can't find someone to come out. If Lu Bu or Yuan Shu asks, how will he answer?" Tang Hui raised his eyes.
Long Xiang said with a smile: "Uncle Wei is too honest, and his words about the art of war are untrue and true. Anyway, Xuzhou has not been peaceful in the past few years. Cao Song also died in Xuzhou. It is not an exaggeration to say that no one takes action. Enemies that do not exist in the first place, let them
Guess for yourself.”
"Although I don't understand, I was greatly shocked." Tang Hui scratched his head honestly.
Long Xiang continued to remind: "Remember those ships carrying grain. Uncle Hui, don't let others burn them by mistake. You must leave some thoughts for Lu Bu..."
"What I can spare, I will listen to the general's orders and act accordingly." Tang Hui replied seriously.
Long Xiang suddenly waved his hand and said: "I have a rest today. I will leave at dawn tomorrow. Ji Ling's army of 100,000 people has entered Yuzhou and will attack Liu Shijun's Xiaopei. It is estimated that they will arrive in ten days at the earliest. I am worried that Xiaopei will not notice it.
We must rush to warn him."
"What?" Tang Wei's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief: "The burning of the ship is such a big event, how can it be done without you? Besides, you and Liu Bei are not related, so why do you help each other again and again? Even if you really want to report the news to Xiaopei
, there’s no need for Yunqi to go there in person, right?”
Long Xiang patted Tang Wei on the arm and encouraged him: "My nephew has made it clear that Uncle Wei has been in battle for a long time and there is no problem in following the plan. As for why he went to Xiaopei in person, it has a lot to do with us cutting off grains. Others
I couldn't win Liu Bei's trust, so I went there in person."
When Tang Wei heard that it was related to food, he couldn't persuade him anymore. He frowned and asked again: "Ji Ling also has cavalry, and the land distance on both sides is not much different. Is it possible for Yunqi to go to Xiaopei at this time? What if?
