    L¨¹ Meng set up camp on the east bank, but remained stationary.  The Han army could not defend the riverside every day, so Liu Cong adopted Fazheng's advice and ordered the soldiers to build more than a dozen beacon towers along the river.

    Jiangdong has patrol ships plying the river every day. Lu Meng has been looking for opportunities. He believes that the Han army will always relax.

    After waiting for a few days, he learned that the Han soldiers had returned to their camps, but more than a dozen beacon towers had been built along the river. This made Lu Meng extremely anxious.

    The beacon tower is very high, and you can almost see the other side from it. As long as Jiangdong's soldiers and horses leave the water village and board the warship, the Han army on the beacon tower will be able to see clearly.  At this time, when the smoke erupts, the Han army will soon arrive at the riverside and set up tight defenses.

    Does it mean that if you want to reach outside Changsha City, you must attack by force?  But after a strong attack, even if the troops are approaching the city, will they still have the fighting power to break the city?

    Just when Lu Meng felt that there was nothing he could do, he received a letter from Zhou Yu.

    Lu Meng opened the letter and read it carefully. All the haze immediately disappeared.

    "The Governor is indeed full of wisdom. This time I will definitely defeat Liu Cong and conquer Changsha!" Lu Meng said to himself in the commander's tent.

    Afterwards, he found Ling Tong and made arrangements like this. After hearing this, Ling Tong was also full of excitement and hurriedly went down to prepare.

    Liu Cong has been relaxed again these days, but he has not returned to Xiangyang.  Across the Yangtze River, the commander of Jiangdong Army was Lu Meng.

    Naturally, the understanding of Lu Meng and Liu Cong is much clearer than that of Fa Zheng and others.  In previous history, he captured Jingzhou guarded by Guan Yu.  Of course, this is related to Jingzhou fighting on both sides.

    But at this time, Changsha was basically fighting alone. Zhou Yu contained the soldiers and horses of Nanjun, Lu Su contained the soldiers and horses of Jiangxia, and Xiangyang had no garrison to begin with.  The current situation in Changsha is no better than when Guan Yu attacked Xiangfan in history.

    And in the past history, although Jiangdong was full of talents, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Lu Xun and others only rose up after one died.

    But in this era, due to the butterfly effect caused by his own appearance, they rose almost at the same time.  Except for Zhou Yu who seemed to be in poor health, the rest of the people seemed to have no possibility of dying from illness, which Liu Cong had to pay attention to.  Therefore, he did not dare to meet Xiangyang.

    The two sides were just confronting each other and there was no conflict.  Liu Min, Gong Zhi, Fazheng and others were guarding the military camp day and night, and Liu Cong took Liu Hu and his two wives to take some time off to travel around.

    Whether it is the Xiangjiang River or the Yangtze River, summer is the most beautiful season, especially in the evening, when the breeze blows and it is extremely cool. There are green trees and red flowers everywhere, and the singing and dancing of birds.

    The towering beacon towers, and not far away, the smoke rising from the military camp, embellish the already beautiful scenery even more charming.

    "Husband, can you see the other side from the beacon tower?" Sun Shangxiang asked.

    "That's natural. Not only can you clearly see the Jiangdong Army's camp in the distance, you can even see Yuzhang City!"

    "Then I want to take a look. I want to take a look at Ganlu Temple" Sun Shangxiang said happily.

    "Xiang'er, do you miss Jiangdong?" Liu Cong understood immediately when he heard Sun Shangxiang said that he wanted to see Ganlu Temple.

    In ancient times, it was very difficult for a woman to return home after she got married, no matter how far away she was from her parents¡¯ home.  Sun Shangxiang is still a young girl in modern times, so it is natural to be homesick.

    "No, I just miss my mother"

    "If there is no war, I will definitely let you go back and take a look, but now" Liu Cong shook his head.

    "Husband, I'm not going back, I'm just taking a look. As the poem goes, sad songs can be used as weeping, and distant views can be used as homecoming"

    "I didn't expect Xiang'er to start studying too?" Liu Cong was a little surprised after hearing this. In his impression, Sun Shangxiang had always been a stick-dancer and never liked reading.  And he also felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

    "My husband is both civilized and martial, and he can write good poems as soon as he speaks. If I don't read a little, how can I be worthy of my husband?"

    "Elegies can be used as weeping, and distant views can be used as homecomings.

    I miss my hometown and feel depressed.

    I want to go home but there is no one, I want to cross the river but there is no boat.

    I can¡¯t express my thoughts, and the wheels are spinning in my intestines.  "

    Influenced by Sun Shangxiang, Liu Cong recited the "Elegy" from Han Yuefu.

    "Husband, this Yuefu poem is very good, but I think there is something wrong with it." Wang Yue'er looked into the distance and said lightly.

    "What's your opinion, Yue'er?" Liu Cong listened.?After that, she was very curious. The impression Wang Yuer had on her was that she was very shy, didn't talk much, but was also considerate and could make people forget any worries.

    "You can cry when you sing a sad song, but how can you be a homecoming when you look far away? I'm afraid the more you look, the more you miss you!"

    "Yes!" Liu Cong nodded after hearing this. He could understand Wang Yuer's heart, and it was the same as him.  No matter how far you look, you can never go back to your hometown. "How can you be home when you look far away?"

    "Master, do you want to go up?" Unconsciously, the group of people arrived at the foot of a beacon tower, Liu Hu asked.

    "Go up! Let's take a look together!"

    "No!"

    Liu Hu immediately called a centurion guarding the beacon tower and explained it. Then he took more than a dozen guards, protectors Liu Cong, Sun Shangxiang and Wang Yuer to board the beacon tower.

    Climbing high and looking into the distance, you will see a different scenery. The boundless Yangtze River is rushing in and rolling down, never stopping!  It seems to come from heaven and go to heaven.

    Everyone is intoxicated by this beautiful scenery.

    At this time, a sailboat appeared in the distance.

    "The solitary sail comes with the sun" Liu Cong immediately thought of a Tang poem and was thinking about how to plagiarize it and show it off in front of the two ladies.  But then I realized that something was wrong, because another sailboat appeared, and it was no longer Gufan.

    Three ships, four ships

    "No, why are there so many sailboats?" Liu Cong was a little confused.

    "Liu Hu, look, what is that?" Liu Cong kept looking away.

    "Merchant ships!" Liu Hu smiled, "Now our Jingzhou is prosperous, and there are many merchants coming and going."

    "Merchant ship? Is it really a merchant ship?" At this time, seven or eight ships had appeared, and it seemed that the number was still increasing.

    "Whose caravan is this? It's too big!" Wang Yue'er said to herself.

    "No, this is not a merchant ship!" Liu Cong suddenly thought of the historical incident of L¨¹ Meng crossing the river in white. Could it be that he wanted to repeat the same trick?  No, it's not a repeat of the same trick, because Guan Yu can no longer take Jingzhou. In short, this must be Lu Meng's plan!

    "It's not a merchant ship, what is it?" Liu Hu couldn't react for a moment and scratched his head.

    "Liu Hu, notify Fazheng immediately to set up defenses by the river and prepare to meet Lu Meng's army!"

    "My lord, do you want to light up the smoke?"

    "No!" Liu Cong smiled and shook his head, "Since Lu Meng wants to cross the river in white clothes, then I will accompany him to the end!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
