After Yuan Shu died, the people who stayed in Shouchun were leaderless and soon lost their fighting spirit and surrendered one after another. When Yuan Shu's body was sent back to Shouchun, his brother Yuan Yin and his son Yuan Yao did not dare to stay in Shouchun anymore, so they hired
The car carried Yuan Shu's body and took advantage of the chaos to escape Shouchun with his family to seek refuge in Jiangdong. For a time, these people became the targets of everyone's pursuit. The reason was that Yuan Shu still had the Imperial Seal, the symbol of the emperor, in his hand.
Along the way, Yuan Yin and Yuan Yao fought cautiously. Fortunately, they were followed by hundreds of servants who were loyal to them. Otherwise, they would have been intercepted and killed by swarms of bandits and troops sent by various princes before they could reach Jiangdong. Sun Ce learned this
When the incident happened, he personally led his troops into Yangzhou to greet them. Seeing that Yuan Yin and others were safe, Sun Ce felt relieved and protected the Yuan family and the whole family and went to Jiangdong together.
Long Fei learned that Yuan Shu was dead, and that Yuan Yin and Yuan Yao took Yuan Shu's body to Jiangdong. He guessed that Sun Ce would definitely take back what was supposed to be their home. Long Fei couldn't sit still and hurriedly packed his bags.
ready to go.
Xun Yu said: "My lord, this matter has not yet been determined. Now all forces are rushing for the jade seal. Our Wancheng is far away from Jiangdong. Even if we get the jade seal, it may not be easy to bring it back. Why don't we wait for a while and see what happens to the jade seal?"
It’s never too late to strike again if it falls into someone’s hands!”
Long Fei shook his head: "No, the matter is critical and must be settled immediately. I have made an agreement with Yu Ji, the elder of Hei Bing. As long as I hand over the jade seal, they will give up Jingzhou! Cao Cao's defeat of Yuan Shu has greatly increased his strength. We must
Speed up, otherwise there will be disaster!"
Jia Xu said: "My lord, what you said is true! Cao Cao has just fought a battle with Yuan Shu. Yuzhou and Yangzhou still need to be consolidated and cannot be used for the time being. If Cao Cao is freed, we will definitely be the first to deal with them!"
"But this matter is too dangerous. I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate for my lord to go there in person!"
Long Fei said: "It doesn't matter. I have been to Jiangdong and I am still somewhat popular. If it is handled properly, it will be no big deal!"
Long Fei insisted blindly and refused to listen to everyone's advice. In the end, he had to make concessions. This time Long Fei should not be blatant and act cautiously. At the same time, Dian Wei and Xu Chu led 30 guards as protection. Chen Dao and Meng Shuo led five
Hundreds of troops were dispatched to deal with emergencies. With Guo Jia as the military advisor, Jiang Gan was sent to Moling to paralyze the enemy in the name of condolences. Zhao Yun was transferred back from Fancheng to guard Wancheng, and Zhang He and Gao Lan were sent to assist Zhang Xiu in guarding Fancheng.
After leaving Wancheng, there was no majestic guard of honor like last time. Several cars and a dozen horses rushed to Moling ahead of Jiang Qian. Just after passing Yuzhou, various strange people appeared along the way. No need to guess, these
They were all troops sent to Moling by various princes. Long Fei did not hang out with them. They stayed in the best inns and ate the best meals, just like traveling around the mountains and rivers.
After crossing the Yangtze River from the Lujiang River, we should have taken a boat and went down the river. Dianwei insisted on walking. He didn't like taking a boat, so he stepped on it, wandering left and right without the sense of security of stepping on the ground. In order to take care of the northern soldiers, Long
Fei and others had no choice but to abandon their boat and ride on horseback. They headed east, crossed the Qinhuai River, and entered the territory of Moling. Jiangnan is indeed a good place, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, a land of fish and rice. After Sun Ce occupied this place, he followed the advice of Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao and extended his kindness.
The people in Jiangdong gradually gained a sense of belonging, and were no longer as resistant to Sun Ce as before. Sun Ce also attracted the aristocratic families in Jiangdong, and his team continued to grow, and the atmosphere in Jiangnan also changed.
Moling was formerly called Jinling. When Qin Shihuang returned from his fifth tour, when he arrived at Jinling, several astrologists who accompanied him saw the steep mountains and dangerous terrain around Jinling, so they reported to Qin Shihuang that Jinling had the aura of the emperor. When Qin Shihuang heard this, he was greatly moved.
Dissatisfied, he ordered people to dig Fangshan to allow the Huaihe River to flow through Jinling, vent the royal anger, and changed Jinling to Moling. "Mo" means fodder, which means that this place should not be called Jinling and can only be relegated to a horse ranch.
.
However, Moling is the most prosperous city in the entire Jiangdong, an important road for north-south transportation, connecting Wujun and Kuaiji to the south, Shouchun and Pengcheng to the north. It is also surrounded by important counties such as Qu'a, Wuhu, Dantu, and Jiangdu.
, is indeed a good place. As the base camp of Sun Ce, after several years of development, Moling has reached a new level. There is a constant stream of traders, and there are a variety of shops on both sides of the street. From time to time, you can see eagles.
Rich kids chasing dogs swaggered through the city. All in all, there were signs of prosperity.
After inquiring about the best inn in Moling, Long Fei and others rode there. The Yingbin Building is called the best inn in Moling. The three-story wooden building is the door curtain in front. All the wealthy businessmen, civil servants and generals are there.
There is a party here. Footsteps in the waiting halls upstairs and downstairs are non-stop. The gentleman who is settling accounts at the gate is cracking his abacus beads. Long Fei takes Dian Wei and Xu Chu to the door and stops. Three huge figures close the door in an instant.
Block it tightly.
"Please come in, please!" The waiter quickly ran over to greet him. When he saw the dozens of people behind Long Fei, his face became even more happy: "Shopkeeper! The distinguished guest has arrived!"
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man, dressed simply, unlike the nouveau riche who is covered in gold and silver. The shopkeeper glanced at Long Fei: "Guests, are you eating or staying in a hotel?" With a strong Jianghuai accent, Long Fei
It sounded particularly awkward, and he said coldly: "You can eat and stay in a hotel! Once you clean up for me and enter the yard, our brothers will live there!"
The voices of northerners were thick, and Long Fei’s Mandarin was closer to the dialects in Youzhou. People who were eating turned their faces to look. Youzhou is thousands of miles away from Jiangdong. What are these people doing here? Some people guessed they were businessmen, and some guessed they were businessmen.
People guessed it was a robber! Long Fei was not interested in the curious eyes of those people, but still looked at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper nodded slightly, and the fighting man hurriedly went to prepare.
Dozens of big-bodied men moved into the Yingbin Building, and they soon became the talk of the town. Everyone was talking about it. Only a man by the window on the second floor smiled slightly and continued drinking.
Long Fei made such a high-profile appearance because he wanted to see the reaction of everyone in Jiangdong. To be more precise, he wanted to see the reaction of Sun Quan. The last time he came here, only Sun Quan was the most sinister among everyone in Jiangdong. It is estimated that Sun Quan had noticed him by this time.
, Sun Quan is now the governor of Lujiang. When passing by Lujiang, Long Fei deliberately created a grand scene. All the horses passed through the city and became a scenery of Lujiang City.
Guo Jia chuckled: "Master, is this trick called luring a snake out of its hole?"
"No!" Long Fei shook his head: "It's called hunting rabbits!"
Sure enough, that night, two men in black sneaked into the Yingbin Building quietly. Long Fei was not asleep yet. When he saw a figure flashing on the window, Long Fei chuckled: "Since you are here, come in. The door is not locked."
Sun Quan and Cheng Pu pushed open the door and entered. Both of them were dressed in night clothes, with swords hanging on their waists and black cloth covering their faces. Compared with Long Fei and the others, Sun Quan could be said to be just a chick, while Cheng Pu was good at fighting.
He didn't like these dirty tricks very much. He saw the two cups of tea on the table, steaming out. Sun Quan slowly pulled down his mask: "General, are you sure we will come?"
Long Fei shook his head: "I'm just waiting! If the young master doesn't come, maybe I will send someone to look for him."
Sun Quan smiled, with a faint murderous look in his eyes: "Of all the people in the world, only General Long worries me, Sun Quan. If I hadn't entrusted you with something, maybe I should kill you now!"
"Hahaha...!" Long Fei laughed loudly, and the sound was probably heard in the yard. Cheng Pu hurriedly approached the bed and looked out. The dark yard was quiet, and everyone was probably there.
He was fast asleep. Cheng Pu shook his head at Sun Quan, and Sun Quan looked at Long Fei: "Am I sure that the general has promised to lend me a helping hand?"
Long Fei shook his head: "Master hasn't said anything yet, how can I agree? Even if I agree, can Master agree to my conditions?"
Sun Quan said: "As long as the general agrees to my terms, I will agree to the terms of the general?"
"Happy!" Long Fei picked up the tea cups and handed one of them to Sun Quan: "Then let's drink tea instead of wine for our win-win situation!"
Sun Quan did not take it, and looked at the steaming tea in Long Fei's hand. Long Fei smiled: "Don't worry, we are allies from now on. Since we are allies, why should I hurt you! There is no poison in this." Long Fei.
He tilted his neck to drink the cup of tea, and then poured another cup for Sun Quan. The two of them touched the teacups gently and drank them all in one gulp.
Sun Quan didn't say anything more, put down his teacup, and hurried out with Cheng Pu. Guo Jia came out from the shadows, holding his feather fan in his hand, and kept fanning: "This Sun Quan is indeed better than his brother."
Sun Ceqiang, my lord, are you not afraid that he will become our strong enemy in the future?"
Long Fei smiled and said: "Standing alone at a high place is lonely. You need someone to accompany you. I think this Sun Quan is good. At least he is smart. He can tell many things at once! In fact, having a good opponent is also a blessing.
It’s the same as boxing. A one-sided boxing match is so boring. It depends on which kind of Qihu is the best! But this time, although we are also on the field, we are the referees!”
"What do we do next?"
"Waiting for opportunities, waiting for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
After living in the Yingbin Building for several days, Long Fei ordered that no one go out without his permission. Three meals a day were naturally delivered to the bedroom. Dian Wei felt a little depressed and wanted to sneak out and have some fun.
Hua. Just as he sneaked to the door, he turned around and suddenly a sharp arrow went straight to Dian Wei's head. Dian Wei was frightened, pulled out his iron halberd, and shouted at the door: "Who is it?"
!Come out! Come out to grandpa if you can!"
The thick voice alarmed everyone. Long Fei took Guo Jia and Xu Chu out. Xu Chu hurriedly picked up the arrow on the ground. There was a strip of cloth on the arrow, which when unfolded revealed a paragraph. Xu Chu immediately met Long Fei:
"My lord, please take a look!"
The letter had no title or signature, and contained a few cold words: Xishan at noon tomorrow!
