Han Xiang

Chapter 184 Don't Fight Anymore

In the Fifth Battalion of Hefei, the Tiger Guards are the most idle, but also the strongest.

Except for extreme weather, Xu Chu insists on training every day, so that the Tiger Guards can fight at any time.

Long Xiang wanted to go out for reconnaissance, so he naturally brought the most capable soldiers.

Enemy harassment around Hefei was both expected and unexpected by Long Xiang.

It was expected that the three forces of Li Shu, Yan Xiang, and the bandits were pulling in Huainan. One day, Hefei, the central point of Huainan, would be unable to get around. Unexpectedly, the harassment came too fast.

Yangzhou, south of the Huai River and north of the Yangtze River, has two counties, Jiujiang and Lujiang. Yuan Shu only controlled them in name when he was alive, but they were actually controlled by local tyrants.

The city and population of Jiujiang County were originally concentrated on the south bank of the Huai River, that is, from Qishouchun in the west to Zhongli in the east, a total of nine counties. These nine counties are currently under the control of the governor Yan Xiang;

Among the five counties in the south, Hefei was occupied by Longxiang. Because of Zheng Bao and Sun Ce's defeat, Junqiu County, a hundred miles to the east of Hefei, sent people to give gifts many times to show his favor;

Among the three southernmost counties, Liyang is close to the Yangtze River and attached to Sun Ce, while Fuling and Quanjiao counties are autonomous.

There are [-] counties in Lujiang County, and the population is mainly concentrated around Wan County in the south. Sun Ce attacked Liu Xun and captured this place. He left Li Shu with limited troops, and occupied only seven counties near the Yangtze River;
Yunxian County and the northern counties were under the control of Yuan Shu's former troops including Chen Lan, Lei Xu, and Meigan, as well as Huainan tycoons.

Last year, Sun Ce sent a counselor Chen Duan to Wan County to help Li Shu in Huainan's plan to drive away tigers and wolves. Unfortunately, the governor Yan Xiang was not a reckless man. A powerful man, trying to control the northern part of Lujiang in the name of the court.

Li Shu couldn't get rid of the wolf, so he incited the tyrants in Yanxian County, Lu'an and other places, saying that Hefei Longxiang would only stick to it, and suggested that these people go to the surrounding areas to plunder money and food.

Hefei is connected to Chaohu Lake in the south, Shaopi next to Chengde in the north, and two rivers, Shishui and Feishui, in the middle. This fertile land is especially suitable for farming.

The defeat of Yuan Shu, the dissipation of the power of the Zhong family, the defeat of Liu Xun by Sun Ce, and the rise of Long Xiang to fame made the originally barren Hefei a paradise in people's hearts, siphoning a large number of refugees from the Huainan area, and making Hefei the most populous in Jiujiang and Lujiang counties city ​​of.

The resettlement in the city is gradually saturated, and the conditions for the new city are immature. This is what Long Xiang is most worried about at this stage, so even if dozens of horses appear suddenly, he has to pay attention to it.

It feels like playing StarCraft. When the original base has insufficient resources, it needs to build a new base nearby to open a sub-mine, but because the defense force is too late to deploy, it is frantically harassed by the opponent.

One family may be able to cope with the harassment, but many will be exhausted if they come in turns. In the end, not only will the sub-base fail to open, but it will also drag down the development of the main base.

Long Xiang didn't like being led by the nose. Today he took the Tiger Guards to reconnaissance in person. Apart from defending against the enemy, he also had important investigation work.

There is no condition for Hefei New City, but some beacon towers along the river can be built, and some defensive outposts can be built in the Tuntian area to effectively prevent small groups of enemies from harassing.

Long Xiang was less than ten miles out of the city, when Cao Xing's cavalry sentry came to report again, saying that the dozens of cavalry in the north might not be the enemy, because Tan Ma saw a carriage driving behind the team from a distance.

"Explore again."

Long Xiang waved his hand to send the whistle away, his originally frowning brows unfolded, and he thought that the people in the car must be Liu Bei's family members.

After waiting for someone for several months, I finally got the news of the Three Heroes of Taoyuan, but they were beaten a bit badly by Cao Cao. There are only a few dozen riders left in Xuzhou with more than [-] people?
"General, if the enemy is harassing, they will never bring a carriage, or Wei Ding and the others are back?"

Xu Wei went out for several months and did not return. As the leader of the ethnic group, Xu Chu was also quite worried. He used to be as calm as a rock in dealing with others, but now his expression is obviously happy.

"I guess so too."

Long Xiang thought that Liu Bei was exhausted after sitting down on his horse from Xuzhou, so he should hurry up to meet him, but he only had six horses with him, so he told Xu Chu, "Xu Wei may have brought some distinguished guests, you take these few horses to go first." Welcome, I will lead the Tiger Guard infantry to follow."

"only."

"Zhongkang, wait a minute."

Xu Chu clasped his fists to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Long Xiang.

"Does the general have any orders?"

"If it's not Xu Wei but the enemy, you can't fight recklessly, back first and wait for me, remember safety first."

Long Xiang exhorted with a serious face.

"Don't worry, general." Xu Chu clasped his fists sonorously.

Although Xu Chu was big, he was not a reckless man. Facing Long Xiang's cautiousness and concern, instead of being annoyed by his strength, he felt very relieved.

Only those who treat themselves like this would exhort like this, how could an ordinary lord care about your life?

Long Xiang does not use power, wealth or force to conquer those around him, but treats people sincerely is his unique charm.

The war horses in Hefei are scarce, and half of them were obtained from the annihilation of Zheng Bao. Most of them were given to the cavalry battalion. Less than ten horses.

Although he guessed that the cavalry might not be the enemy, Long Xiang was not as conceited and arrogant as Sun Ce, and he rushed up to take risks with a few cavalry.

If he met an opponent like Tai Shici, Long Xiang couldn't guarantee that he would be able to escape. If he took Xu Chu away at the same time, there would be no one to lead the Tiger Guard infantry, so he sent Xu Chu to go first.

Xu Chu led the horse to go away, and Long Xiang led the tiger guards to continue marching.

After walking for more than ten miles, I saw cavalry lined up in the field ahead, and the two generals in front of the formation were fighting and fighting, with cheers and shouts coming and going.

Good guy, I told you so much just now, did you slap the mosquitoes with your ears?
Long Xiang was about to raise his gun to signal a full-speed march, when suddenly a flying horse rushed out from the front, and he stretched out his hand while running and called: "General Long, Sima Long!"

The voice changed from unclear to clear, and the figure on the horse gradually grew from small to large, and when he ran two or three feet away, he saw Luo Yicheng.

"Luo Yicheng, I met the general."

Luo Yiben wanted to get off his horse to salute, but Long Xiang stopped him with gestures, and asked with a frown, "Who is Zhongkang fighting with?"

"It's General Zhang Yide. He heard that Commander Xu is highly skilled in martial arts, and he will have a contest as soon as we meet. Xu Wei and I can't stop him at all."

Luo Yicheng looked helpless.

"What nonsense, Liu Shijun and General Guan didn't stop?"

"They're not with us."

"hiss"

Long Xiang didn't ask any further questions and rushed forward. Since he knew that the people in front of him were all his own people, he didn't have any scruples at this time. He thought that the second master probably took his outstanding achievements in history, but he didn't know whether Liu Bei would go to Hebei.

Both Zhang Fei and Xu Chu were strong generals, and Long Xiang was afraid that the two tigers would be injured in a head-to-head encounter, so he frantically twitched his horse's buttocks and planned to go forward to stop them.

"Yede."

"Zhongkang."

"You guys don't fight anymore"

While Long Xiang was shouting, the sky suddenly darkened, and a large cloud was gathering above his head, and it looked like it would rain soon.

The spring rain is continuous and moistens everything, but it is not a good thing for marching.

Long Xiang gave a wry smile, and said in his heart that he is really a good guy, is this line poisonous?
