Chapter 234 A fake look

"The general can easily infer the strength of the enemy just by looking at him. Sun Quan's martial arts will definitely be inferior to that of Sun Ce. What can the general say about him?"

Seeing Xu Chu's sudden stop, Long Xiang and Lu Su looked at each other and explained with a smile:

"In terms of bravery and fighting, Sun Quan is certainly not as good as his brother. However, in terms of calmness and calmness, Sun Quan is ten times better than Sun Ce. It is very difficult to deal with such a person who likes to do things but not to show off."

"Oh" Xu Chu nodded in understanding.

Lu Su was very disgusted with Sun Quan at this time, but he agreed with Long Xiang's judgment. He took the topic and reminded him in a low voice: "Although Sun Quan is young, the city is very deep, and Jiangdong may not be able to access it if he is eager. Yunqi promised to dig it for him."

The Tongshi, Fei and Jiangdong warships can easily enter the Huaihe River. If Sun Quan takes advantage of the Yuan and Cao families to compete for the north and enter the Central Plains, he may become a profiteer. It is better to put it down."

"Push it away?"

Long Xiang smiled bitterly: "The Jiangdong warships won't be able to return, so they stopped at the south bank of the Yangtze River to rest. I'm afraid if I don't do this today, these ships will sail into Chaohu."

Lu Su stroked his beard and agreed: "Given Sun Quan's insidious character, this understanding makes sense. In the past, Mei Cheng robbed Shouchun, and later Sun Quan massacred Wan County. In the past two years, there have been wars everywhere in Huainan, but we are the only ones.

Hefei is relatively stable. Even if I were Sun Quan, I couldn't tolerate you.

But one thing I don’t understand is why he only dares to show off his power but doesn’t try it as a victorious teacher?”

"Maybe I don't dare."

After hearing Long Xiang's point of view, Lu Su said differently: "Judging from the conversation just now, Sun Quan is quite decisive in his actions. He definitely doesn't look like a coward. How can he not dare?"

"What I mean by not daring is not simply courage, but Sun Quan's scruples. Last year, Sun Ce took Lujiang first and then attacked Hefei. Unfortunately, he failed in the end. If Sun Quan attacked Hefei, he would have to pay a high price. This

Sun Quan may not be willing to pay such a price, especially the reputation that is difficult to obtain. In addition, Li Shu is not the only one who is troubled by Jiangdong. How can Sun Quan dare to stay away from Wu Commandery for a long time?"

"That makes sense. There are quite a few descendants of the Sun family."

Lu Su had just figured it out, and his forehead was once again filled with clouds of worry: "The clouds are rising, what are your plans for digging the channel? If Sun Quan meets the requirements, will it be completed next spring?"

"That's natural."

Long Xiang responded with certainty: "There is a severe drought in Huainan this year, and there is a high possibility of waterlogging next year. If we build an extra flood discharge channel, Hefei's farmland will be safer. The number of people outside the city will continue to increase. If there is another natural disaster next year, the consequences will be disastrous."

Lu Su thought for a while and then reminded anxiously: "Although it is a good idea to separate the floods from Yunqi, but the Feishui flows out of Jiangjunling, how can you ensure that the Feishui flood only goes to Feishui? If the Feishui flood comes, Shi

Water, wouldn’t it be self-defeating?”

"As the saying goes, water flows to lower places. As long as the slope is adjusted during excavation, the flood water will naturally flow into the Fei River and the Huai River."

Long Xiang showed a confident smile and said to himself that this is my specialty. Besides, Shi Shui is undergoing dredging. As long as the water has a place to go, it will not overflow the fields. The construction of Shi Fei Canal is the icing on the cake.

"Controlling water has been difficult since ancient times. It's good if Yun Qi has confidence. It just hurts the people along the Feishui River."

"Haha. How many people can be left in the north? There is no need for Zijing to worry unfoundedly."

Long Xiangxin said that benevolence and righteousness are not our main slogan. Letting the people of Hefei eat is the real thing.

As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die if he is a poor Taoist. If the people along the Feishui River were hit by a disaster, why not rush to Hefei to take refuge?

"It's okay not to worry. If the Shifei Canal is completed as scheduled, Sun Quan will have a water supply line, and it will not be a problem to go north to occupy Shouchun. Hefei will be surrounded by Jiangdong by then. I don't recommend completing it on time and according to the quantity."

Lu Su was still looking worried, but before Long Xiang could talk to him, he offered another suggestion: "When asking for food and tools from Jiangdong, why not deliberately ask for more? But the quantity should be sufficient and reasonable, and it should not make Sun Quan think it is excessive."

"Haha. Zijing, there is no need to worry. I will draw up the supply list and I will make sure that Sun Quan will be speechless."

Long Xiang paused with a smile and added meaningfully: "Even if Sun Quan is willing to be taken advantage of, I still have countless excuses to delay the construction period. If the delay is not successful, I can also tamper with the construction."

"How to use hands and feet"

Lu Su saw Long Xiang smiling proudly, and his sadness was instantly replaced by curiosity.

"We can think of a solution based on the width and depth of the channel. Who can see what is under the water?" Long Xiangxin said that I have experience in handling acceptance inspections. If Sun Quan questions, there will be a reasonable explanation.

Lu Su frowned and asked, "If Jiangdong provides food and utensils as needed, won't you worry about offending Sun Quan?"

"How can we guarantee the construction quality if we have to rush the work? Besides, there is a lot of sediment in the upper reaches of the river, and it is understandable that it will sink to the bottom of the river. If there is rain to help, my reasons will be more solid."

"When you are so angry, why should you care? Although Sun Quan doesn't know how to dig channels, it doesn't mean that no one in Jiangdong understands. Yun Qi had better think twice."

Long Xiang was awakened by Lu Su, and then he remembered that the relationship between him and Sun Quan was not simply Party A and Party B, but a huge disparity in population and resources, but he still kept smiling.

"Zijing's words make sense. Even if I complete the work with quality and quantity, Sun Quan may not be able to occupy Shouchun as he wishes."

As soon as Long Xiang finished speaking, Lu Su said in shock: "You mean Cao Cao?"

"Of course."

Long Xiang nodded affirmatively: "Although Yan Xiang was trapped and killed, is there no new governor? Although Cao Cao does not care about Yangzhou, he will not allow Sun Quan to become powerful."

Lu Su stroked his beard and said to himself: "I heard that Sun Quan and Li Shu both sent envoys to Xudu, but Cao Cao finally chose to watch the fire from across the bank. Now that the war in Lujiang is over, Cao Cao may take action soon."

"Qin Yi was on a mission to Hefei last time and saw Shouchun becoming an empty city. Do you think he would tell Cao Cao? Shouchun is such a strategic place. Even if Cao Cao doesn't send a large army to garrison, one or two thousand defenders will always come out.

.”

When Lu Su heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "It's useless for me to remind you, but I have forgotten about Cao Cao. Just now Sun Quan mentioned sending envoys to report victory. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

"Zijing doesn't have to be like this. It's right to remind each other. Since Sun Quan's envoy went to Xudu, I expect the new governor will arrive in the near future. I don't know if he will come to Hefei."

"I guess the new governor will definitely come to Hefei. The last time Qin Yi came to do the conferment is proof. Shouchun is now dilapidated and Hefei has become the largest city in Huainan. It is uncertain whether he will designate this place as the state seat."

"No way?"

"Then we'll see."

On the way, Long Xiang had in-depth exchanges with Lu Su about the new governor and the situation in Huainan. Soon after returning to Hefei, he completed the "cost list" of the Shifei channel project. Lu Su was speechless after reading it.

A simple channel excavation project was broken down into dozens of construction sub-projects by Longxiang. He calculated the different numbers of personnel input, how much food and equipment resources were needed, and also gave the corresponding project progress.

Long Xiang gave Sun Quan a multiple-choice question. If you want to progress faster, add more money. If you want to save money, don't worry about the progress.

Sun Quan was surprised when he received the cost list, and the officials in Jiangdong also opened their eyes. Because Long Xiang was too professional in asking the question, Sun Quan couldn't make up his mind for a while. He didn't want to be taken advantage of, nor did he want to miss the opportunity.

When Sun Quan hesitated and did not reply, Liu Fu secretly arrived in Hefei alone.

After Long Xiang listened to Lu Su's report, his expectant face suddenly collapsed, and he said seriously: "This governor is fake at first sight."
