Han Xiang

Chapter 354

"Xu Chu from Qiao County, right? Zhang has been taught!"

Zhang Liao saluted to the head of the city, then turned around and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, the rear team will change to the front team, retreat ten miles and go to the village."

Just now Xu Chu was obviously merciful, which is why Zhang Liao saluted and thanked him. This move alone is better than the fake Dong Xi, and at the same time it gave Cao Jun a blow.

Han Hao leaned over with lingering fear, and added like an afterthought: "I just took a closer look, and the big man next to Long Xiang should be the real Xu Chu. I heard that this guy is very good at flying stones, but I didn't expect to be able to hit the moat. outside."

"What is lost far?"

Cao Chun snorted coldly and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "His accuracy is terrifying. He even hit the flagpole just now. Isn't it easy to aim at the door?"

"Isn't that just right?"

Han Hao swallowed his saliva and did not continue. The hatred he had buried in his heart towards Xu Chu suddenly dropped at this moment because of Feishi's suppression.

Zhang Liao said solemnly: "I once heard that Xu Chu Feishi hit Han Dang. He was raised in Jiangdong for half a year in armor. If he aimed at one of us just now, he might be injured and go to see the lord."

"This guy showed mercy just now, I'm afraid it was Long Xiang's intention."

Cao Chun stroked his beard, frowned and continued to add: "Long Xiang is so smooth and has such a strong general as Xu Chu, it's no wonder that Sun Ce suffered in Hefei. Attacking Hefei by force should cause a lot of losses. Since Long Xiang intends to show his favor, I have to advise my lord to adopt a gentle strategy."

"What Zihe said is very true." Zhang Liao nodded affirmatively: "My lord told me to wait for a feint to attack Hefei. Now it seems that I can only build up momentum on the periphery. In order to prevent Sun Quan and Zhou Yu from discovering the abnormality, we will rely on Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to give full play to our advantages in the next few days. , Block all passages from Hefei to Chaohu area.”

Cao Chun patted his chest and assured: "Wen Yuan, don't worry, I promise that Jiangdong land scouts will not come close."

Zhang Liao had to say to him: "It is enough to seal the land route. My lord uses Hefei as bait to fish. If the warship hidden in Chaohu Lake enters the water, it will be tantamount to revealing its whereabouts. Sun Quan and Zhou Yu would not do such a stupid thing." .”

Seeing the intense discussion between the two, Han Hao also spoke with emotion: "Our plan is steadily advancing, and I don't know if General Xiahou can invite you into the urn?"

Cao Chun said with a smile: "Yuan Si thinks about his appearance, the lord often praises it."

"Right."

Han Hao and the others chatted more and more easily. Long Xiang, who was in Hefei, frowned. Seeing Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses retreating slowly, he ordered Xu Chu and Tang Ju to keep closing the city gates and arrange four gates to guard at night. Lei Xu Some people replaced the cavalry battalion to maintain law and order in the city, and Hefei also implemented a curfew policy at the same time.

The purpose of Zhang Liao's visit this time was unknown, so Long Xiang couldn't help but ignore it.

He left the gate tower and went straight to the workshop, urging the craftsmen to work overtime at night to complete the assembly of the remaining telescopes overnight.

Long Xiang's feeling at this time is like playing a moba game. After experiencing the crispness of mastering the field of vision, it is difficult to adapt to the unobtrusive game.

If no one has vision, you don't know the situation in the wild area, and it will be very painful to be caught in the lane.

Several craftsmen were busy late at night, so that Long Xiang could receive the remaining eight telescopes the next morning as he wished.

In the morning, Xu Chu and Tang Yu were patrolling the four gates. Seeing that Lei Xu, who was giving the binoculars, was looking forward to it, Long Xiang grabbed one and handed it out, saying, "Originally, I planned to keep only one in the old city, but now there is Zhang Liao. This threat, you must keep one more for emergencies, except for me to take one for myself, and the other will be given to you."

"Really for the last general?"

Lei Xu pointed at himself with an incredulous expression, because he was far inferior to Tang Jue and Xu Chu in terms of closeness, martial arts, and seniority, so he was a little flattered for a while.

Long Xiang waved his hand in affirmation: "Take it with peace of mind, everyone will have it in the future, but now there are few things and they seem to be relatively rare. Zhongkang and Xibo have the important task of defending the city. I will leave it to you to go out and investigate. Do it for me. Look at what Zhang Liao is doing."

"Yes." Lei Xu patted his chest with a serious face: "The general will guarantee to complete the task."

Long Xiang solemnly reminded: "The importance of this item to the war is self-evident. In the future, it must be kept secret internally and externally. In particular, it must not be lost or fall into the hands of the enemy, otherwise it will be regarded as an enemy."

"Don't worry, general, the general has always been strict with his mouth, and he will never leave his body when he sleeps." Lei Xu promised again.

Long Xiang smiled lightly: "There's no need to be so exaggerated, this telescope is not strong, if you take it with you when you sleep, won't it be crushed?"

"Uh..." Lei Xu thought for a while and replied, "Then hang it on the bedside at night."

After hearing this, Long Xiang was noncommittal, so he also picked up a binoculars, walked out of Xiaowei's mansion side by side with Lei Xu, and then went to the four gates to observe the situation within a five-mile radius of Hefei.

After running back and forth for nearly two hours, Long Xiang and Lei Xu met at the south gate guarded by Xu Chu, and confirmed that there was no abnormal situation in the surrounding area for the time being.

At this time, Zhang Liao was stationed ten miles south of the city. Long Xiang was worried that the other party had other plans, so he asked Lei Xu to take a telescope out of the city to monitor to ensure that the other party was under his control.

Long Xiang watched Lei Xu's people go out from the south gate, then called Xu Chu aside and said: "Zhongkang, you also immediately arrange a team, and quickly send the other six telescopes to Xincheng. The cavalry battalion is now bigger than ours. more necessary."

"only."

Xu Chu cupped his fists and wanted to leave, but Long Xiang hurriedly called to him: "Wait a minute."

"Does the general have any orders?"

As soon as Xu Chu's doubtful words came to an end, Long Xiang handed out his telescope and confessed: "Take this telescope with you, and you can climb up to the west tower to watch along the way in a while. The distance between the new city and the old city is only five miles away. Six miles away, if there is any abnormal situation, troops can be dispatched to remedy it."

"Well, I can save it."

Seeing Xu Chu hurried away with the binoculars, Long Xiang glanced at the south gate and there was nothing unusual, so he stretched out tiredly and yawned.

The sisters of the Qiao family are all pregnant at this time, and the younger sister, Qiao Wan, is just pregnant and cannot be touched. Although Qiao Wei's fetus has passed through the dangerous period of the first three months, she pays special attention to the first child and seems cautious. She is more resistant to Long Xiang staying overnight in the east room. In addition, the situation in Huainan has become tense recently, so Long moved back to the old house in the front yard for a temporary stay.

Marrying two wives, but no one is on duty at night, this is something Long Xiang never expected.

As long as there is a leg pressing on him, he won't wake up before dawn.

Long Xiang was thinking about insomnia last night, and he still had those binoculars in his heart. Sleeping late and getting up early made him sleepy during the day.

At this time, the weather in Hefei was calm, and Long Xiang arranged the task again, so he thought about going back home to sleep.

After returning to the house, he fell asleep, and I don't know how long it took, and finally he was woken up in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was Xu Chu.

"Zhongkang? Why did you come here? Could it be that Zhang Liao called?"

Xu Chu leaned over and shook his head violently, but there was a trace of eagerness in his eyes: "General, I will help you change your clothes, and then follow me to the West Tower, and there will be a major discovery at the end."
