"It's three birds."

Sun Quan showed three fingers and corrected: "Long Xiang wants to take away half of the city in Jiujiang. Yan Xiang will not remain indifferent. Have you contacted Chen Zizheng (Chen Duan)? He has been in Lujiang for almost half a year, and he has not seen any tigers driving away wolves.

Instead, this wolf took the initiative to show his kindness."

Zhang Zhao's head went dark when he heard this. Qin Song offered Sun Ce a plan, but he couldn't stop him.

In the past six months, Chen Duan repeatedly asked Li Shu to send people to alienate him, but Yan Xiang was unwilling to quarrel with Hefei. At this time, Chen Duan was trapped in Lujiang.

"No news has come back from Wan County for a long time. At this time, Li Shu has shown signs of rebellion, and Chen Zizheng may be imprisoned."

"The best one we can contact can be our internal response."

Sun Quan sighed and continued: "If we can't contact him secretly, we will send someone to ask for him openly in a while. If we don't break up with Li Shu now, there may be a chance to rescue him."

Zhang Zhao reminded: "I wonder how long my lord will wait? The main force in Jiangdong is still in Dantu. Once Chen Deng evacuates, he may cross the river at any time. It is not appropriate to be attacked from both sides."

"Don't worry, Zibu. I won't use Dan Tu's troops. I'll let Li Shu jump around for a few more days. When the conditions are ready, I will lead the troops to make a big move."

Hearing the words Sun Quan personally take command, Zhang Zhao immediately thought of his defeat in Guangling, and tactfully reminded him: "My lord's golden body cannot be touched lightly, why not let Gong Jin lead the army to conquer? It is really practical to leave him behind."

Overkill and underutilization, Gong Jin is also a rare general."

Sun Quan shook his head gently: "There are rebellions in many mountains in Kuaiji and Danyang, and a general like him is needed to conquer them. After my brother is buried, I will let Gong Jin go south to put down the rebellion."

"Then who will accompany the lord to attack Lujiang? You must have sufficient prestige in the army, otherwise it will be difficult to accomplish it."

Zhang Zhao deliberately mentioned prestige to remind Sun Quan not to be too strong.

Sun Quan stared at Zhang Zhao, smiled slightly, and asked: "Does the military governor Zhonglang have enough prestige?"

"Enough, enough"

Zhang Zhao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

The commander-in-chief of the army in Sun Quan’s mouth was Xu Kun, who was Sun Quan’s cousin and future father-in-law.

During Sun Jian's time, Xu Kun was worshiped as a partial general for his military exploits, and he was also the second-ranking figure in Sun Jian's army. (The highest position before Zhou Yu's death was that of a partial general)

Later, Sun Jian died in the battle in Jingzhou, and Sun Ce took over his father's old army as an adult. His Huaiyi military rank and prestige were not as good as those of his cousin Xu Kun, so he deliberately distanced himself to avoid embarrassment, and at the same time changed his position to worship him as a lieutenant with no real power.

General Zhonglang of the military governor.

Sun Ce drove Yuan Yin away and captured Danyang. He originally planned to appoint Xu Kun as the prefect of Danyang, but at that time Wu Jing happened to abandon Guangling and come to join him, so he found an excuse to appoint Wu Jing as the prefect instead, using his uncle who was also a relative of his mother's family to check and balance the table.

Brother.

When Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, Xu Kun did not have an administrative position, and his military position was that of a military governor with no real power, while his uncle Wu Jing's administrative position was that of Danyang Prefect, and his military position was that of General Yangwu, who was at the same level as Sun Ce. Compared with Xu

The partial generals before Kun were taller.

As the saying goes, feng shui takes turns, and once there is the emperor, there will be ministers.

With Sun Quan's succession and marriage, Xu Kun will become the sword in his son-in-law's hand, which in turn will check and balance the more powerful Wu Jing.

In early June, five days after Lu Su returned to Hefei.

More than ten large ships from Jiangdong docked at Shishui Wharf one after another, and Long Xiang's old acquaintance Zhang Zhao came to disembark in person.

Seeing Long Xiang and Lu Su appearing at the pier, Zhang Zhao smiled and stepped ashore on the yao plank, holding his hands in greeting:

"Long Sima, please come and be fine. No, I should call you the Captain of Southern Jiujiang."

"Thank you General Sun for your recommendation, but the imperial court may not appoint you."

Long Xiang clasped his fists and shook his head modestly.

Zhang Zhao said seriously: "Captain Long, don't worry. Thieves are everywhere these days. Even if the imperial court issues an edict, it may not be delivered to every county. As long as someone approves it, it will count."

"Uh, I don't quite understand."

Of course Long Xiang knew this unspoken rule, but he couldn't show that he knew it well, so he smiled awkwardly after saying it.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhao joked: "Captain Long doesn't know, but Zijing was the mayor of the East City. Just ask him."

"Yunqi doesn't admire fame in vain. Sima and captain are probably the same."

After Lu Su simply perfunctory, he pointed in the direction of the city gate and said: "I just informed you that the Yuan family is gathering in the city. It will take half a day to board the ship. The pier is simple and not a place to rest and talk. How about Mr. Zibu going to the city to rest and wait?

?”

Long Xiang nodded in agreement: "What Zijing said is true. The sun has been too strong these two days and there is no shade on the dock. Zibu will follow me into the city. Let's drink to quench our thirst while we wait."

"I'm going to be on my way later. If I drink too much, I'll get in trouble, so I'd better quench my thirst with water." Zhang Zhaozhi waved his hand.

"Mr. Zibu never forgets his official duties. He is truly a model for Jiangdong."

Long Xiang stretched out his hand to signal: "Clear water is clear water. The well water in the city is clear and cold. Sir, please come here."

"Well wait a moment."

Zhang Zhao started to walk away, but suddenly stopped and turned around, stretched out his hand to wave to the boat, and then explained with a smile:

"There is also a big shot on the ship, and I forgot to introduce him to the captain."

"Big shot?"

Long Xiang and Lu Su looked at each other fiercely, wondering whether the big shot Zhang Zhao mentioned was Sun Quan himself? This was different from the Sun Shiwan in their impressions. How could he be so courageous?

After a while, a tall, thin young man wearing a crimson robe was seen stepping off the ship.

This man doesn't have blue eyes and purple beard, and he doesn't look like someone with short legs. Could it be that he is not Sun Quan?

"This is."

Long Xiang looked around with confusion, hoping that Zhang Zhao or Lu Su would give him the answer.

From the way Lu Su shook his head slightly, he knew that the other party did not know the person coming. At least he was sure that the person coming was not Sun Quan. What kind of plane did he think Zhang Zhao was planning?

It wasn't until Mi Heng was approaching that Zhang Zhao introduced him to Long Xiang and Lu Su:

"This is You Heng, You Zhengping, a famous scholar from the plains."

"Um?"

"oh?"

When Long Xiang and Lu Su were stunned, Zhang Zhao introduced to Mi Heng again:

"Sir, this is the lord of Hefei, the commander-in-chief of southern Jiujiang, Long Xiang and Long Yunqi; this is the former chief of the East City, Lu Su and Lu Zijing."

Mi Heng looked at the people in front of him with his nostrils turned upward, and then he raised his hands and shook them slightly: "You are very young, and you can defeat Sun Ce. I don't know if it's because the Jiangdong people are incompetent, or if you are really capable, but I won't bother you in the future."

Mi Heng's behavior was not polite, and the arrogance in his words was even more uncomfortable. Zhang Zhao was speechless when he opened his mouth. Lu Su had heard of his legend before, so he gently returned the favor without saying anything.

Long Xiang didn't know anything about Mi Heng's past, but he knew that he was the number one troll in the Three Kingdoms. He didn't have time to care about the other party's rudeness because he heard the words 'trouble me in the future'.

What do you mean by this guy? This troll plans to stay in Hefei?

Long Xiang frowned and looked at Zhang Zhao: "Mr. did you just say nagging?"

Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and replied: "Mr. You are from the north. You are not accustomed to the climate and climate in Jiangdong. You have been starving and thinned a lot after living there for half a year. Captain Long can treat thousands of people in the Yuan family kindly. Do you think you will reject him?"

"Yeah, that's fine."

It was difficult to chat with the troll nearby, so Long Xiang turned around and motioned to Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, send Mr. Ni to the post house to settle down first. I will make arrangements later."

"Wei." Xu Chu cupped his fists and accepted the order.

Zhang Zhao felt relieved when he saw Xu Chu leading Mi Heng away. Mi Heng was even crazier than Jiangdong when he arrived in Hefei, and there was almost no one he didn't say to each other.

The two of them had just walked a few steps when they suddenly heard Mi Heng ask Xu Chu as they walked: "You are Xu Zhongkang, who beat Han Dang with flying rocks and defeated Sun Ce in a duel? But these arms are not as thick as Paulownia wood."
