Han Xiang

Chapter 520

Long Xiang also transferred the Xudu intelligence station in advance for the safety of Luo Yicheng and others before seeking Shouchun.

Therefore, the news that Liu Bei occupied Guanzhong could not reach Hefei in time.

Seeing that Lu Su stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, Long Xiang said confidently:

"Zijing can rest assured that if you have both civil and military forces around you, it will be no problem to capture Chang'an. Cao Cao's siege of Yecheng is the perfect time, and there will be news soon."

Lu Su was skeptical at first, but his attitude changed drastically the next day.

The imperial court sent Jiang Qian to Hefei. In addition to bringing a reward edict, Jiang Qian was also chatting with Long Xiang and was mentioned in passing that Liu Bei occupied Chang'an and captured Tongguan.

Long Xiang and Lu Su did not show up outside the city to wait for Zhang Liao because they wanted to receive Jiang Gan.

Cao Xing accompanied Zhang Liao to the east gate of the new city to bid farewell, but found that something was wrong from afar.

When he got close, he was dumbfounded.

In the open space outside the city gate, not to mention no one was waiting, not even a pig.

"Where's General Long?"

"Or was he drunk last night and is still hungover?"

"Haven't woken up from the hangover? Juncheng Lu is also drunk? And those five hundred pigs are also drunk?"

"Ah this."

Although Cao Xing tried his best to explain, he really couldn't answer the pig's question.

Because he couldn't figure out what Long Xiang was thinking, Cao Xing didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only cautiously make suggestions:

"It's pointless for us to make groundless speculations. We've already arrived at the city gate anyway. Why don't we just go into the city and ask for details? I believe General Long will have a reasonable end."

"never mind."

Zhang Liao shook his head slightly with a straight face, remembering that Guan Yu left without saying goodbye, and thought that this might be God's will, so he said goodbye to Cao Xing with fists in his hands.

"Since General Long has something to do, why should I bother? Thank you Cao Sima for taking care of me during this time. Zhang Liao is in a hurry to leave, so please leave Cao Sima for me."

"General Zhang, don't worry, besides, the five hundred pigs are still there."

Seeing that Zhang Liao was going to leave, Cao Xing was a little flustered, but he was interrupted by the other party's words before he could finish his convincing words.

"Forget it, the soldiers and I have had a good time, and the [-] pigs will still stay in Hefei, and it will be inconvenient to take them with us on the way."

"But."

Before Cao Xing could say anything, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes in the city.

Turning his head and looking closely, the horse rider was extremely burly, and his figure was a bit like Xu Chu, so he immediately beamed with joy.

"General Zhang, it seems to be General Xu. He must be here to deliver a message. Please wait a moment."

"Xu Zhongkang?"

Zhang Liao's expression became serious, and he thought that the generals in Hefei were threatening him, if Long Xiang sent him to stay by force, it would be a bit troublesome to leave today.

Returning the [-] war horses to Cao Xing, most of Zhang Liao's [-] moves were on foot, and he had to abandon these people if he escaped by force.

But these are all Zhang Liao's confidantes, and he is reluctant to give up just like that.

While thinking about it, Xu Chu rode his horse to meet outside the city.

"General Zhang, my general invites you to speak in the city."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Liao clasped his fists in return, and asked with a frown, "Will General Long not plan to let Zhang Liao go?"

"No, it's not that my general didn't come to see him off, it's that the imperial emissary Jiang Gan just arrived in Hefei, and General Long and Mr. Lu needed to meet him, so he sent the last general to invite him."

Hearing Xu Chu's answer, Zhang Liao showed surprise: "Jiang Gan? Jiang Ziyi?"

"This is the person."

"he came here"

"It seems to be an edict issued on behalf of the imperial court. He also suggested that General Long invite you into the city. Should General Zhang continue to wait here, or?"

"I will enter the city with General Xu."

Since Jiang Gan represents the imperial court, it means that he came to Hefei to redeem people, Zhang Liao, as a person to be redeemed, how dare he not meet him?
Moreover, he was afraid that Long Xiang would speak indiscriminately, so he left the eight hundred plays outside the city, and flew into the city with Xu Chu and Cao Xing on Qingqi.

On the way Zhang Liao rode his horse and galloped, he accidentally found hundreds of live pigs in an open space in the city, indirectly proving that something was wrong with Long Xiang.

After a while, the three came to the prefect's mansion.

As soon as Zhang Liao walked on the steps in front of the hall, he heard hearty laughter coming from ahead.

He was startled, and thought that Jiang Gan seemed to be from Huainan, could it be that this person had an old friendship with Long Xiang?
Otherwise, Lord Xun Ling would not let him go on an envoy, and the two of them had just met in the hall, so they wouldn't be able to chat so happily.

In fact, Jiang Gan was able to serve as the envoy entirely because he was from Shouchun, but he had nothing to do with Long Xiang. He went to Xudu to seek a job like Mi Heng in his early years.

Cao Cao was the actual controller of Xudu. If a celebrity like Jiang Gan wanted to become an official, he could only go to the Sikong Mansion to start as an aide.

Jiang Gan was unknown in Cao Ying in the early days, until a few years ago when he and Guo Jia went to persuade Lu Su to surrender, and in the end he was sprayed by Mi Heng, but because of this, he was recommended by Guo Jia, and he often got the task of lobbying.

Just after stepping over the threshold, I heard Jiang Gan shouting:

"General Zhang, are you okay? We haven't seen each other for a while. You have done great things in Hefei."

"what?"

Zhang Liao was very disturbed after hearing this, worried that Long Xiang had said something unfavorable, but he quickly dispelled his doubts.

"Isn't this big event limited to Hefei? Even if you look at the whole world, it is an existence that shocks the past and the present."

"I guess if Cao Sikong knew about it, he would definitely praise General Zhang. Jiang will convey General Long's letter of commendation on his behalf."

Jiang Gan raised the letter to Zhang Liao, and continued joking with a smile: "Inspector Liu repeatedly urged me to leave quickly. He was afraid that General Zhang would move bricks to build the city in Hefei. If he knew that he had made such a feat, he would be surprised."

"Haha." Long Xiang agreed with a smile: "With a general like Wen Yuan, how could I bear to let him move bricks, but Sun Quan also came by chance, so Wen Yuan has a chance to become famous."

"Ah..." Zhang Liao smiled awkwardly, cupped his fists and said to him, "General Long's praise, Zhang is really ashamed."

While they were chatting politely, Zhang Liao learned that Long Xiang had been named General Polu.

When congratulating him, he was filled with emotion, saying that he had been fighting in the north and south for many years, and only by virtue of his military merits did he become a partial general, yet Long Xiang got the title of general so quickly.

Long Xiang was going to host a banquet for Jiang Qian, but he left to save a meal because of Zhang Liao's urging.

Zhang Liao and Long Xiang formally bid farewell, took Jiang Gan and drove [-] pigs, and left Hefei.

Five hundred soldiers without mounts were each given a pig to drive them on the road. Zhang Liao once felt that Long Xiang did this on purpose.

Because of the relatively fast walking speed of driving pigs, I can only walk about [-] miles a day.

It is thousands of miles away from Hefei to Xudu. Zhang Liao was eager to return home, but he walked for two months on the road.

On the way, Zhang Liao thought about Long Xiang's General, wondering why it was exactly the same as Dong Zhuo's?Does the lord have any deep meaning?
"Mr. Ziyi, do you know that Feng Longyun has some special intention to destroy the general?"

Seeing Zhang Liao sincerely asking for advice, Jiang Qian replied with a smile: "General Zhang is worthy of my lord's love. Do you know who was the last general who broke the prisoner? Sun Jian."

"Huh? I don't know"

"Hehe, Sun Quan lost his father when he was young. Find him a father. In the future, Sun Quan and Long Xiang will never die."

"This"

Zhang Liao said in his heart, good guy, I only guessed half of it, who would have thought of this intention?
