Han Xiang

Chapter 94
"That won't work."

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows and stared, and shouted: "Boss Xu is so righteous, don't I know etiquette? Although there is no wine in Hefei now, there is a must for a full meal."

Long Xiang reminded: "Recently when rice was harvested outside the city, many people caught pheasants in the fields. You ask Uncle Zhong to find someone to exchange for one. You can't be without meat when you entertain guests."

"Yun Qi is more thoughtful, Xu Zhuangshi, I will take you for a stroll."

"It doesn't have to be."

Tang Yu couldn't help saying that he was about to leave with Xu Wei.

Xu Wen wanted to refuse, but he couldn't stop Tang Yu's enthusiasm, so he could only half push and half agree.

After an episode ended, Long Xiang's mood suddenly improved.

Looking at the slowly receding figure, Lu Su looked curious:
"This person is just an ordinary citizen, why is Yun Qi treating him so politely?"

Long Xiang replied: "Xu Wei is young and thin, but the Xu Village behind him is not ordinary. There are thousands of young men in the village who are all skilled in martial arts. If they turn into an army, they will be a powerful force."

"Since Xu Village rejected Cao Cao, and Yun Qi has a deep friendship with his leader, why don't you say that he came to Hefei to plan big things together?"

Lu Su's heart became alive. If thousands of brave warriors with high martial arts skills joined him, he would not even have to train new recruits. Why would he need to recruit soldiers?

Long Xiang shook his head slightly, "I mentioned it back in Qiao County, but it's no small matter to leave your hometown. We and Cao Cao are so different in strength, how can we let our friend 'Pearl secretly vote'?"

"Then you still treat Xu Wei like this"

"Although hope is slim, it's not impossible. People always have dreams. Let's have dinner together at night? Uncle Zhong's food is delicious."

"Haha, Yun Qi is not married, he is really a child at heart, I just want to talk to General Feng, we will bother you later"

Seeing Lu Su making fun of himself, Long Xiang wanted to make fun of him about his marriage, but he asked an inappropriate question.

"Zijing is eight years older than me, should he marry a wife? Do you have children?"

"The family arranged early and got married at the age of 16, but it's a pity that I have nothing to do."

Lu Su's answer was neither salty nor light, but a trace of helplessness flashed across his brows.

Long Xiang suddenly remembered Tang Yu's phrase 'marry a wife and marry a virtuous man', and wondered if Lu Su's wife was ugly?

Because there is too little cultivation and fertilization, so there is no flowering and fruiting?
Long Xiang accidentally asked about taboos, but he couldn't change the subject right away, so he could only add with a smile: "That sister-in-law is now."

"She serves her mother at home in Dongcheng, forget it, let's not talk about those trivial things."

Seeing that Lu Su took the initiative to end the topic, Long Xiang knew what was interesting and did not continue, thinking that if Zi Jing really had this kind of suffering, he could find a way to get him a concubine in the future.

Xu Wei stayed in Hefei for three days, accompanied by Tang Yu and Cao Xing in turn.

Although there was no gift of gold or silver when he left, he brought a lot of dry food and fruit. Long Xiang's enthusiasm impressed him deeply.

Xu Wei came to Hefei this time, not only because Xu Ding was worried about Longxiang, but also because he came with a mission.

At that time, Xu Chu led Xiangyong to help the county and repelled the bandits who troubled the county. Seeing Xu Chu's bravery, the magistrate of the county recommended him to the higher level.

But when Cao Cao's men came to Xu Village to recruit, they were firmly rejected by Xu Ding.

Xu Chu asked the reason, and only then did he know about taking Long Xiang in and killing Cao Jun.

Xu Chu was worried that if the news leaked in the future, Xu Village would face disaster, so he and Xu Ding conspired to find a way out. After all, using Xu Village's power to fight against Cao Cao is undoubtedly a dream, and Longxiang's Hefei is also within the scope of options.

Words are without proof, but seeing is believing.

How about Hefei, you need someone to see it to know, Xu Wei is the eye sent.

During Xu Wei's three days in Hefei, he saw the harvest of the people outside the city, and also saw the vitality of Hefei.

The orderly and huge city is more than enough to accommodate thousands of people in Xu Village.

After the inspection in Hefei was over, Xu Wei went northward on a detour and spent a month returning to Qiao County. Not long after he returned to the village, there was a major military operation in the Central Plains.

At the end of August and the beginning of September, Liu Bei, who was stationed in Xiaopei, was defeated by Lv Bu's generals Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, and his family was trapped in the city and fled to Xudu.

At that time, Cao Cao had just won the battle with Zhang Xiu, and the battle between Yuan Shao in Hebei and Gongsun Zan had also entered the countdown.

The Yuan and Cao families turned against each other, and it was between day and night.

Cao Cao wanted to use his best form to fight Yuan Shao, so he followed the advice of his mastermind Xun You, and personally led the army to march eastward to Lu Bu, so as to solve Xu Du's worries in one fell swoop.

Several armies marched eastward, heading straight for Pengcheng and Xiapi in Xuzhou.

One of them is the main general of the guard army Han Hao, and Yuan Hao's Qu tribe under him disappeared after the battle of Qi County last year, and had a conflict with Xiahouyuan's tribe.

Han Hao's people secretly investigated Qiao County for half a year, and finally found out that Xu Village, which borders Qiao County and Yu County, was suspected, so they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Eastern Expedition to solve the mystery.

Xu Village's three thousand townspeople all practiced martial arts. Facing Han Hao's army to question his crimes, the two sides broke out in a fierce battle in the open space outside the village.

After the war, more than half of Han Hao's [-] soldiers were killed or injured, while Xu Cunxiangyong only lost more than [-] soldiers.

Xu Cun's defeat caught Han Hao by surprise. He gathered the remnants of the army and gathered in the county, and went to plead guilty to Cao Cao overnight.

The Ding and Xu Chu brothers did not sit still, they took advantage of Han Hao's absence to preside over the overall situation in Yu County, and decisively chose to flee with the villagers collectively.

There were seven or eight alternative places at first, and only Hefei, where Xu Wei went, was the most attractive, so Xu Ding and Xu Chu finally chose to join Longxiang.

At this time, Cao Cao was resting overnight in Taiqiu County. He slept until dawn and just opened his eyes. He was about to set off after breakfast, but the guards came in and informed Han Hao to see him.

Cao Cao yawned and sat up, pinching the bridge of his nose to force himself to wake up, thinking that Han Hao's troops should be in the south, and he ran to Taiqiu at this time, is there something important?
After a while, Han Hao entered the main tent in a state of embarrassment, and bowed down to Cao Cao with fists in his face.

"My lord, I will be guilty at the end"

"Ok?"

Cao Cao was originally sitting on the edge of the bed, but now he sat cross-legged on the bed, and asked meaningfully: "Why is Yuan Si (Han Hao) like this? Could it be that there is an obstacle in the south?"

"Your Majesty, let me tell you that the last general led his troops to Xu Village between Qiao County and Meng County, and encountered him suddenly."

Han Hao honestly reported the ins and outs of going to Xu Village to Cao Cao, but described the battle process with artistic processing.

Five thousand Cao soldiers fought against a village and suffered both losses. It was not only embarrassing but also unbelievable to tell.

Han Hao not only exaggerated the number of Xu Cunxiangyong, but also described the encounter as an ambush.

Cao Cao frowned after hearing this, stroked his beard and said, "I have an impression of the village you mentioned. Last year, the county magistrate recommended it to the Sikong Mansion, saying that the people in this village are good at martial arts and can be incorporated into the army, but I sent people to search for it. But it was rejected, and I didn't expect it to be related to harboring Huainan rebels."

Han Hao added: "Rejecting the lord's enlistment first, and gathering a crowd to ambush the officers and soldiers behind him is clearly a guilty conscience. The general heard that among the fleeing rebels, there was a murderer who seriously injured Henan Yin."

"This group of anti-thieves is a bunch of people."

Cao Cao gritted his teeth ferociously, and slammed his fist on the edge of the bed with his right hand.

hiss.
My hand hurts. My head hurts.
