Chapter 408 A Set of Pancakes and Fruits
Zhao Yun set foot in Jiangdong for the first time and had never experienced a water battle before.
Liu Ye reminded Huang Zu to pay attention to Sun Quan's reinforcements, and Zhao Yun also made a retreat plan as Liu Bei ordered.
Huang Zu's blitzkrieg attack on Nanchang failed, which brought great changes to the remaining wars.
The main force in Jingzhou was concentrated outside Nanchang City, while Chaisang and Haihun left thousands of defenders. Zhao Yun was worried that the reinforcements in Jiangdong would not rescue Nanchang, so he turned to attack Chaisang. Haihun asked Huang Zu to divide his troops, and defeating them would cause the battle to fall into a passive position.
Half of the warships brought by Huang Zu docked in the Chaisang Water Village, half of which docked in the Gan River next to Nanchang, and Haihun was the granary of the army.
Whether Chaisang or Haihun is lost, it will affect the morale of the soldiers ahead.
Zhao Yun was not concerned about whether to conquer Nanchang. His mission was to bring Liu Ye back safely.
In addition to taking the water route in the retreat plan, Zhao Yun also picked a long-term land route, that is, from the route of Liu Pan invading Yuzhang, enter Changsha County in the opposite direction, and then take a detour to return to Xiangyang.
The time spent on land is several times that of water, but Zhao Yun is a cavalry who is used to using war horses. Compared to taking a boat and taking a waterway, he feels more at ease about war horses and land.
Zhao Yun had no confidence in controlling things outside of professionalism, so during his stay in Haihun, he sent several scouts to explore the way and went through the retreat route in advance.
On the day Deng Long came to ask for advice, Zhao Yun's first batch of sentry probes returned from Jianchang and reported in detail the terrain of this mountain road, where the terrain was dangerous and difficult to walk, and where the place was wide and where it could be camped at night.
After Zhao Yun and Liu Ye discussed Gan Ning, they suddenly remembered that when they had just captured Chaisang, Liu Ye sent someone to Hefei on a boat. He thought that if he encountered Jiangdong reinforcements during his return or Chaisang was captured by Jiangdong reinforcements, wouldn’t he be able to come back and report?
If you are unfortunately captured by Sun Quan's people, there may be a risk of exposure of the information on your body.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun hurriedly reminded Liu Ye: "Sir, you are sure that the reinforcements from Jiangdong are coming. What should I do if the messenger sent to Hefei? I heard that the navy in Jiangdong is quite powerful. There should be patrol ships on the Yangtze River, and you may encounter danger when traveling back and forth."
"Haha, Zilong, don't worry." Liu Ye smiled and comforted: "There are people who are picking up the river in Hefei. If they really can't come back, he will return to his hometown. General Long will find a way to contact us again. Just pass on the situation in Jingzhou and make the family feel at ease."
When he heard that the scouts would not have to return, Zhao Yunxin said that the risk of exposure would be greatly reduced. Now he just hopes that the journey will be smoother. After all, Huang Zu's reconnaissance ship is also on his way.
Zhao Yun didn't know that the only naval army in Hefei was led by Liu Ye's nephew Liu Fu.
After Taishici stationed in Liyang, Hefei's reconnaissance fishing boats were still in Chaohu, Ruxushui, and the Yangtze River, but they were pretending to be more like fishermen.
They try to ensure that the fish catch every time they go out on the boat, so that they can hide the truth from the eyes of Taishici.
Shortly after Taishici arrived in Liyang, Long Xiang took the initiative to write a letter to show his goodwill, and the letter talked about his friendship with Sun Quan, saying that both sides, as neighbors, should help each other.
As the saying goes, he does not hit people with a smile. Although Hefei is a potential threat to Jiangdong, Longxiang took the initiative to show kindness, while Taishici must show the politeness he deserves.
In addition, Hefei and Wujun have frequent business transactions, and merchant ships often travel in Chaohu and Ruxu waters, so Taishici did not include the fishing boats as the suspect.
Because Liu Ye was quick to move, he sent people to report safety before Jiangdong noticed it. At that time, the Yangtze River was relatively calm and he also successfully met Liu Fu's people.
Regarding the information related to Liu Ye and Jingzhou, Liu Fu personally rushed to the chief clerk's office to report to Lu Su.
Recently, Qiao Wei is about to be in full term. Longxiang handed over the military and political affairs of Hefei's old and new cities to Lu Su, and focused on accompanying Qiao Wei for a walk and chat at home.
Hua Tuo estimated that Qiao Wei gave birth to a child at the end of the month, and Lu Su received information from Liu Ye just late in the month.
He originally wanted to wait until the child was born before looking for Long Xiang, but considering that Jingzhou made such a big move, there must be new movements in Jiangdong, so he still came to the door with his teeth.
Long Xiang was originally deaf about the matter outside the window, but Lu Su basically didn't ask him for anything he could handle. There must be a very important thing to come to him to ask for a visit.
When I came to the main hall of the front yard, I saw two baskets of things beside Lu Su. When I approached, I found that one was full of eggs. It was roughly estimated that there were hundreds of them, and the other was red dates produced in season.
Eggs and red dates are all foods suitable for mothers to recover. Chen originally had someone to prepare some, but Lu Su's delivery seemed to have too much inventory.
Red dates can be stored for a long time, but the eggs are not that long and there is no electricity or refrigerator in this era, so Longxiong frowned.
"Zijing, what gifts do you bring when you come back? In addition, there are too many eggs."
"Mrs. Qiao can use it after giving birth. I don't think this is enough. I will finish eating a few more meals soon. Besides, there are two pregnant women in Yunqi's family."
After hearing this, Long Xiang shook his head: "No matter how delicious the food is, you will get tired of it every meal. Besides, the second lady is still early, so I should have to wait until tomorrow spring. I have prepared a lot of kitchens in my house. I will take it back and cook it for my sister-in-law later. She should have two months left."
"How could I bring this gift back to you?"
Lu Su hurriedly reached out to refuse, and then encouraged Long Xiang and said, "Yun Qi is particularly good at making food. What is the only few hundred eggs? If you don't work, you will make them all into peeled eggs. If Mrs. Qiao is tired of eating, she will let the kitchen change the tricks and will never be broken."
"Oh, the egg"
Long Xiang thought that eggs can be made into peeled eggs, but their stability and quality are far inferior to duck eggs. It may be stored for a while after making salted eggs, but these may not be suitable for mothers, especially after Qiao Wan became pregnant, her mouth became very chewy.
Pancake fruit?
These four words suddenly jumped into Longxiong's mind, thinking that this thing consumes a lot of eggs, and it can be used as both a snack and a staple food. It is almost no difficulty in making it. It only requires a stove and a metal disc for pancakes.
Longxiang is good at pasta. He felt it was time to invent another food and design the stove below, which could bake sachets, barbecue, pancakes, and then serve new Roujiamo and other delicacies.
The second lady is so happy.
Longxiong glanced at the egg basket, and then he had a set of pancakes and fruits.
"Zi Jing suddenly came to the door. Could it be that there is something important?"
"Well, in order to avenge his past revenge, Huang Zu suddenly sent troops to Yuzhang a few days ago, and Sun Ben should be very dangerous."
"Xi Tai Shi Ci just arrived in Liyang, and Huang Zu really knows how to pick things up. It's just that Jiangxia was defeated a few years ago. It is said that Huang Zu's warships were not enough."
"Although Jiangxia lacks warships, don't forget that Huang Zu is leaning against Jingzhou."
"Did Liu Biao allocate a warship to Huang Zu?"
"Haha, not only did the warships be allocated, but Liu Pan's troops were also sent to Changsha, and Liu Ziyang was sent to Huang Zu's army to counsel military affairs."
"Zi Yang?"
After just talking to Lu Su for a few words, Long Xiang swallowed his saliva three times in a row, and the information was more intense than the other.
