Han Xiang

Chapter 67
Seeing Long Xiang staring at the river and smiling knowingly, Xu Ding immediately guessed what he was thinking.

"Yun Qi wants to go by water? I advise you not to think about the Qiao County Wharf. A few days ago, I heard from a passing merchant that Cao Cao's General Xia Houyuan dispatched grain and grass in Qiao County.

Are you going to Qiao County?If I really want to return to Huainan by water, I'd better go to Chengfu County first to find a boat. "

Tang Xi, who was watching, also came to persuade: "Yunqi, Xu Zhuangshi is right, let's not fall into the trap."

"This place is two hundred miles away from the city father. There are many villages and towns along the way. It is easy to encounter Cao soldiers on the main road. As the saying goes, take a fight, and the bicycle coughs and coughs."

Long Xiang pointed at the map, halfway through speaking he suddenly coughed lightly, paused for a while and continued.

"I have a plan to avoid the Cao soldiers in Qiao County. Doesn't Uncle Xi want to go back earlier?"

"Hey, of course it's fine, I just listen to you."

Tang Jue responded naively, Xu Ding was surprised to see it, and thought that Tang Jue was too easy to persuade, right?

Are you willing to believe anything Long Xiang says?Otherwise, you will stay in Qiao County.

Xu Ding continued to advise: "Yun Qi, you have to think carefully."

"Bo'an don't need to worry, Long Mou has more than a hundred brothers' lives in his hands, how could he do something unsure? But the current situation in Qiao County is unknown, so I can't tell you the plan in detail."

Xu Ding saw that Long Xiang's words were convincing, so he waved his hands and smiled.

"I'm not interested in the escape plan, I just hope that Yun Qi can survive. This troubled world needs people like you, and your brothers also need you to live."

"Don't worry, Bo'an, I will live well."

Long Xiang held Xu Ding's palm, felt the other party's impressive strength, and thought that if this person joined the army as a general, he should be able to make a name for himself.

After reading the map and returning to the cowshed, Cao Xing and all the soldiers were not asleep.

Long Xiang and Tang Yu comforted everyone, and then fell asleep relying on each other.

At this time, although Long Xiang and his followers were living in the cowshed, and the surroundings emitted the pungent smell of feces from time to time, everyone was sleeping deeply.

In the autumn rainy season, a shelter from the wind and rain is enough, at least it is better than spending the night under a tree or in a cave.

In the second half of the night, the rain stopped and the wind stopped, and the morning sun came as promised.

Xu Ding not only kept the horses, but also presented dry food to Long Xiang and others.

Pointing to the small road in the northwest of the village, he said: "This road is narrow and there are few vehicles and horses passing by. Cao soldiers will definitely not march by the small road. It will take about two days to reach Qiao County. Yunqi must be careful when going here."

"Thank you Bo'an for your generous help. You have nothing to repay for your kindness. This ring sword was issued when I was in the army. It has not had a chance to be bloody. If Bo'an does not give up, I will give it to you as a souvenir."

"Since it is a gift from my little friend, I naturally want to accept it. I don't know if we will see each other in the future after parting today."

Xu Ding received the ring with a sad expression on his face. It is very difficult and not easy for ordinary people to reunite in troubled times. He had an agreement with the young Long Xiang, so he was a little sentimental when he parted.

After experiencing the battle between heaven and man, Long Xiang suddenly confessed to Xu Ding.

"To be honest, the empty city I mentioned earlier is Hefei in Jiujiang County. If Boan has the opportunity to go south, he can come to Hefei to find me."

"The cloud rises."

Tang Xi wanted to stop it or not, no matter how much he blamed it, it was useless.

Seeing Tang Yu's expression, Xu Ding smiled leisurely and said, "Don't worry about Yun Qi, I'll keep your words in mind just now, and I won't gossip around. As for whether to go to Huainan in the future."

At the end of Xu Ding's words, suddenly there was a rush of horseshoes from the south.

Soon, I saw a Xiangyong on a horse running and shouting:

"Boss, Chief Xu, something is wrong"

"Huh?" Xu Ding frowned and turned around.

Immediately afterwards, Xiangyong rode his horse to his eyes and reported out of breath:

"Bo'an, another hundred or two hundred Cao soldiers came to the south of the village. They tried to force their way in under the pretext of hunting down the bandits, and their attitude was very arrogant. The brothers on guard could hardly stop them. Go over and have a look."

"I see, you hurry up and ring the gong to warn, and let all the brothers at home gather at the entrance of the village with weapons. I want to see how violent they are."

"Yes."

As soon as Xiang Yong, who reported the letter, left, Xu Ding cupped his fists and joked with Long Xiang.

"Isn't it here to look for you? I'll go to the entrance of the village to deal with them first. If you lead someone to sneak away from the north, you can just miss them on both sides."

Long Xiang nodded and told Tang Yu: "Uncle Xie, lead Bo'an a horse so that he won't be late." "

"only."

Long Xiang only sent one horse, and Tang Xi didn't feel heartbroken, so he answered very simply.

When Tang Yu handed over the reins, Xu Ding looked solemn.

"Forget it, I'll be disrespectful, take your time."

"Drive." Xu Ding hit the horse and hurried away.

"We're leaving too."

Long Xiang turned around and waved his hand, signaling for the team to start, but just as he reached the entrance of the village, he stopped suddenly.

Tang Yu asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

"Xujia Village does not allow outsiders to enter. What if there is a conflict with Cao Bing? This matter is related to us. If some villagers can't control their mouths and talk nonsense, won't they be implicated? We can't leave like this. "Long Xiang frowned.

Tang Xi reminded: "If we go back now, wouldn't it be true that Xujiacun is collaborating with the enemy?"

"Yes." Long Xiang hesitated.

Cao Xing suggested, "You guys wait here, Marquis Qu, and let the last general do some reconnaissance alone?"

"Very good." Long Xiang nodded in agreement.

Cao Xing was ordered to gallop away. He had just run more than a hundred paces when Long Xiang told Tang Yu: "The north of the village is three miles away from the south of the village. Let's move forward slowly. In case of any accidents, we must move forward." response."

"I listen to you."

Tang Yu commanded the soldiers to line up southward. When they had walked less than half a mile, they suddenly heard the sound of killing from the south of the village.

"Something happened, I want to go up and have a look, Uncle Xie, bring them here at full speed."

"Yunqi. Beware"

He only heard Long Xiang yell, and without giving Tang Ju a chance to react, he immediately raised his gun and galloped like an arrow, followed by eight cavalrymen.

Long Xiang met Cao Xing on the way. Cao Xing reined in his horse and stroked his chest: "The people in this village are really fierce. They fought with Cao Bing after a few words. Now the two sides are fighting at the entrance of the village. I really didn't see it yesterday. After coming out, Xu Cunxiangyong's combat effectiveness is quite strong, and he did not retreat in the face of Cao Bing."

"It is said that there are one or two hundred Cao soldiers coming. Even if Xu Jiacun has martial arts skills, how can he defeat the well-equipped Cao army? Go back and let Tang Yu's infantry be faster."

"only."

Long Xiang led the eight cavalry at lightning speed, turned around and arrived at the melee position at the entrance of the village. When he arrived, some people had already fallen on the ground.

Most of the dead were unarmored villagers, and there were also a small number of Cao soldiers who died in battle.

The weapons of the village warriors are various. Most of them are farm tools such as dung forks, rakes, sticks, and hoes. Less than [-]% of them use normal swords as weapons. As for the villagers wearing armor, there are even fewer.

Long Xiang thought that even if he could defeat Cao Jun, Xu Village would have to pay a heavy price.

"Bo'an, I'll help you."

Shouting, Long Xiang charged his horse into the crowd, and the huge impact generated by the running of the horse easily pierced Cao Bing's chest with his spear.
