Han Xiang

Chapter 497 Enabling the nemesis against one hundred thousand

Zhang Liao is not only brave and has a high emotional intelligence, but his loyalty is not completely unshakable.

Just like the ending of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun when Lu Bu was destroyed, we can explain some problems from the side.

Heroes are also human beings, but who really wants to die if they can live?

Zhang Liao was able to figure out Cao Cao's intentions very well. He knew that he had lost Huainan, and the stains on him could never be washed away. Even if he returned to Xudu smoothly, he would not be taken seriously as before.

If you die generously, you can certainly protect your family.

But can continue to live without surrender, and then go to find the old master despite the difficulties.

This kind of spirit is also worthy of special mention.

In order to set an example, Cao Cao will definitely treat himself well, and Zhang Liao firmly believes in this.

So when Long Xiang proposed this plan, Zhang Liao was very willing to accept it, and copying the homework according to Guan Yu should not be too simple.

The righteous words on the tower just now were also for the purpose of establishing a character who is loyal to the old master.

After perfectly handling the problems of Tai Shici and Zhang Liao, Long Xiang sent someone to Shouchun to deliver a letter to Lu Su, and at the same time returned to Hefei with the second general without stopping.

Although Cao Cao had no time to take care of Huainan, if Sun Quan didn't spend time in Jingzhou, it is entirely possible to come to Hefei for revenge.

Long Xiang suddenly 'turned an old hen into a duck'. I don't know if Sun Quan, who is full of blood, can accept it.

Hefei New City was planned and built by Longxiang. The overall structure is masonry concrete. It looks magnificent from the outside. Because the scale of the new city is five times that of the old city, the buildings in the city are concentrated in the most central area, and most of the rest are farmland. .

Long Xiang returned to the city in early February. In the early spring when the earth is getting warmer, farmers in Hefei have begun to plow the fields based on experience.

On both sides of the main road, there are criss-crossing fields, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici looked around, a scene of busy spring farming.

The two passed by silently watching without speaking, but they both had the experience of farming in the jurisdiction.

After a quick glance, I knew that there were fertile fields beside the road, and I thought that if I wait until May and June, this place will be a green ocean.

With so many fertile fields, how much grain can be produced each year?
As for the several arterial roads leading to the city gate, the width of the roads is obviously wider than that of ordinary cities, and they should be built for strategic purposes, so that the guards and supplies can arrive quickly.

There are high walls and solid walls on the outside, and countless fertile fields inside, and the roads extend in all directions.

This city of Hefei is as solid as gold.

Walking to the core area of ​​the central part, Tai Shici and Zhang Liao were eye-opened by the tidy streets and buildings, the slightly different appearance style, and the overall harmonious residential area.

Especially Zhang Liao, although he came from Xudu, he felt that the city he saw was what a capital city should look like.

Knowing that the new city was planned and constructed by Longxiang, the two cast admiring glances.

Because a new partner joined, Long Xiang hosted a banquet for Tai Shici and Zhang Liao on the first day back to Hefei.

Tai Shici readily accepted it despite his disrespect, while Zhang Liao refused on the excuse of physical discomfort. He secretly made up his mind not only to imitate Guan Yu, but also to do better than Guan Yu.

Zhang Liao planned not to accept any overtures to Long Xiang, and he would have the confidence to say that he did not surrender when he returned to Xudu later, the most important thing he did was to show the [-] plays.

The roast pork arranged for the welcome banquet was originally the delicacy that Zhang Liao had been thinking about, but he refrained from attending the banquet in order to create a character, preferring to stay in the post house and eat ordinary meals.

Seeing that Zhang Liao deliberately behaved like this, the open-minded Long Xiang did not force it, but still sent the barbecue to the post house and the military camp.

Zhang Liao could control himself, but he couldn't control the mouths of his soldiers. They traveled east and west with Zhang Liao for many years, and rarely had the chance to eat meat, let alone Hefei's unique fragrant pork and Longxiang's new cooking techniques.

The entourage who followed to the post house, because under Zhang Liao's eyes, only enjoyed the delicious food silently, while the soldiers stationed next to the Tiger Guards praised the delicious food without any scruples.

Fragrant, really fragrant.

Zhang Liao didn't return at this time, Long Xiang had no choice but to spare him.

He asked the generals to have reservations about Zhang Liao, especially the core technology of the telescope, so he put the [-] remnants under surveillance.

On the second day after returning to Hefei, Lu Su also returned from Shouchun.

At the same time, he brought back the prisoner Liu Fu and settled in the county magistrate's mansion to wait for his release.

When old friends reunite, they must compliment each other.

Lu Su lured Li Dian's main force out of the city, and took Shouchun without bloodshed, which showed his extraordinary resourcefulness; while Long Xiang said that he was kind to Tai Shi and persuaded Zhang Liao to return.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Su asked Long Xiang to leave as an attendant, and reminded him softly: "Although Yun Qi used the tactic of slowing down the army to keep Zhang Liao, but I heard that he made an excuse not to come to the banquet yesterday. This person is courageous and resourceful, if he stays here if he doesn’t want to, it will expose our secret.”

"What's Zijing's opinion?" Long Xiang asked back.

Lu Su had to answer: "I don't know Yunqi's intention, but if you really want to keep Zhang Liao, it's better to let him live in the old city temporarily. There is no military workshop there now, and there is only General Feng's city defense army, which is much simpler than the new city." More and more convenient to manage.”

"Well, that makes sense."

Long Xiang nodded slightly, and suddenly showed a worried look: "Zhang Wenyuan is the best general in the world, I'm worried that Uncle Xie won't be able to hold him down."

Lu Su followed up with a suggestion: "Jiangjunling's sentry post has just been withdrawn. Cao Sima should come back soon. Yunqi can let him go to the old city together. Cao Sima and Zhang Liao are old comrades. They are also smart and clever. They should be able to help you Look at him."

"Um"

Long Xiang squeezed his chin and muttered to himself: "There are many people in Hefei New City, and Wen Yuan feels uncomfortable here. It's a good way to put him in the old city, but before he goes over, I have to give him a reassurance."

"Reassurance?"

Lu Su was taken aback.

Long Xiang nodded and asked: "Where is Liu Fu now? Is he also placed in the post house?"

"Zhang Liao is in the posthouse, how can we take him away?"

Lu Su shook his head and replied: "Currently, he is under house arrest in the Governor's Mansion."

Long Xiang whispered a few words into Lu Su's ear, causing the other party to show a surprised expression, and praised Long Xiang for his genius.

Lu Su then resigned with Long Xiang, and Long Xiang sent him to the gate of the prefect's mansion, and at the same time sent someone to invite Zhang Liao to the mansion.

Not long after, Zhang Liao came from the posthouse.

As soon as they met, Zhang Liao clasped his fists at Long Xiang to plead guilty, and then excused that he didn't feel well yesterday, so he didn't come to the house for the banquet.

The genius doctor Hua Tuo was in the city, and it was easy for Long Xiang to expose the lies, but he did not do such a thing without emotional intelligence, and welcomed him into the hall with a smile.

On the way side by side, Long Xiang asked Zhang Liao for advice on stationing in the old city.

Zhang Liao was very cautious. After hearing this, he stopped immediately, turned around and asked, "General Long told me to go to the old city? Could it be that he wants to put Zhang Liao under house arrest?"

Long Xiang quickly shook his head: "Wen Yuan is worrying too much, don't you want to make meritorious service? The old city of Hefei is next to Shishui, if Sun Quan and Lu Meng are coming to retaliate, which side do you think they will fight first?"

"Jiangdong people are not good at land warfare, so it is more likely that they should fight the old city. What Yun Qi means is" Zhang Liao looked at Long Xiang in surprise at the end of his sentence.

"Long said one thing, promised to give Wen Yuan a chance to make contributions, and he would never break his promise."

After Long Xiang said that, he smiled knowingly, and said that I put in so much effort before and after, and it was nothing more than helping Guan Erye to return favors.

Of course, Long Xiang used his nemesis Zhang Liao to deal with Sun Quan, and he also had some careful thoughts.

After all, Zhang Babai can defeat Sun Shiwan.
