Hao Meng stroked his beard and said: "Since Yuan Shu wants to plot Lu Bu, he can't just win over his own general. Han Yin went to Chen Gong tonight to discuss the matter. He will get Long Xiang drunk and talk about it later. He will first understand the reality of Huainan, and then

Let’s look for Chen Gong to make plans again. If we don’t make it foolproof, I won’t take risks easily.”

"That's okay, I'm afraid that Long Xiang is in a low position and won't be able to get any useful information." Cao Xing nodded lightly.

Hao Meng sneered and said: "It may not be useless if you know something small."

"The general still feels that the risk is too great. If the action fails, we will all die without a burial place..." Cao Xing's mood repeated again.

Hao Meng raised his eyes with a cold look in his eyes, "As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger, but I am responsible for the defense of Xiapi City, so my actions may not be too risky. Lu Bu first captured Cao Cao's Yanzhou, and then Liu Bei's Xuzhou, which one was not the case?

Should the inside be coordinated with the outside? It’s not a big problem..."

"Oh..." Cao Xing nodded thoughtfully.

Hao Meng took the opportunity to pat him on the shoulder and said: "Lu Bu has a despicable nature. You are alone and have no idea. When you come home with a beautiful wife and beautiful concubine, I am afraid you will react more than me."

"Hey, it is said that this is a custom in the border areas, learned from the Hu people outside the Great Wall. I heard that when we first came to Xuzhou, General Lu invited Liu Bei to sit on Madam Yan's bed, and asked Madam Yan to hold the cup herself..."

Before Cao Xing finished speaking, Hao Meng interrupted with an angry look: "Liu Xuande is also from the border area, why did he refuse on the spot? Lu Bu likes to follow this bad habit of the border area. He went to play with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. The general is from Hanoi

You are from Hanoi!"

Although Cao Xing did not feel the anger Hao Meng showed personally at this time, he had heard about it privately and knew that Hao Meng was not the only one who suffered, so he did not continue to persuade him. ("Heroes" contains "Taizu said"

: "If you carry your wife behind your back and love the generals' wives, why should you be generous?" Bu Moran.')

The two of them made up their minds to sort out their emotions and strode to the front hall to meet Long Xiang and Feng Zhong.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Hao Meng and Cao Xing began to cooperate in persuading them to drink.

As the saying goes, soldiers against soldiers, against generals, Cao Xing called a group of soldiers to surround Feng Zhong for a drink, leaving Hao Meng, who had a good drinker, to face Long Xiang alone.

Long Xiang couldn't resist Hao Meng's enthusiasm, and pretended to be confused after several large cups in a row. Hao Meng kept blinking when he saw him, feeling that the time was ripe for making a cliché.

"Eh? Is this piece of meat stuck to the side? Why can't you pick it up..." Long Xiang shook his head and held the chopsticks deliberately, clamping the side ears of the bronze tripod holding the dishes. He tried several times in vain.

Seeing this, Hao Meng suppressed her laughter, raised her glass, walked to Long Xiang's table, helped him put the meat from the tripod onto the dinner plate, and asked meaningfully: "It's true that General Long doesn't drink much, but he showed his drunkenness so quickly.

Hurry up and eat some soy sauce meat to calm your stomach."

Long Xiang folded his hands at the desk, shook his head violently, suddenly put aside his chopsticks and went straight to his hands, grabbed the sauce meat, chewed it in his mouth, and murmured: "I'm not drunk, I'm really not drunk..."

"How does our Xuzhou wine and meat taste?" Hao Meng asked softly.

"The soy sauce meat is very fragrant, I haven't tasted it for a long time..." Long Xiang directly reached out to the cauldron, and looked like he was gobbling it up, completely ignoring the so-called politeness.

Hao Meng frowned in confusion and asked curiously: "General, he is from Shouchun, a big city. The conditions should be better than those in Xiapi. I wonder how the food in your army is like?"

"Meals in the military? It's brown rice every day. You can eat seventy percent full, right?" Long Xiang shook his head indifferently.

Hao Meng was stunned when he heard this. He thought that Yuan Shu, who had a well-equipped army, could treat his soldiers so harshly. He thought for a while and asked again: "General Long was ordered to go to Xuzhou as an envoy. If he can shoulder such an important task, he must be General Yuan's capable general."

, I don’t know what your current position is?”

"What position? I just inherited my father's shadow and served as the Marquis of Qu..." Long Xiang shook his head, his tone mixed with unwillingness. He suddenly lowered his head in the middle of the sentence and added mysteriously: "General, I don't know, I will be promoted soon."

, Mr. Han has promised me to recommend me as a military commander when I return to Shouchun. When I was introduced to General Lu in the afternoon, I was already a commander of another department."

"Really? You are really young and promising..." Hao Meng stroked his beard with a brow.

"In the land of Huainan, it's useless no matter how talented you are. You must have a good family background to be promoted, or a close minister of the lord to be reused. If your family background is too low, just like my father... wu... wu... wu

..." After Long Xiang muttered to himself, he burst into tears.

"General Long, how unbecoming is this..." Hao Meng was at a loss for a moment.

Feng Zhong, who was surrounded by people urging him to drink, heard Long Xiang's cry, which was like thunder in his heart. He pushed aside Cao Xing and others and came over. He supported the crumbling Long Xiang and whispered: "General... General...

"

Long Xiang cried for a few times, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath, looking completely drunk.

Hao Meng was very embarrassed when he saw this. He looked at Feng Zhong and said with a smile: "General Long's drinking capacity is really..."

"Since my general is drunk, I have to take him back to the post house. Please forgive me, General Hao." After Feng Zhong saluted with clasped fists, he put Long Xiang on his back and left without waiting for Hao Meng's consent.

Upon seeing this, Hao Meng looked at Cao Xing and said, "General Feng is new to Xiapi and doesn't know the way, so I asked Vice General Cao to accompany him."

"Thank you, General." Feng Zhong nodded in agreement.

Cao Xing asked his entourage to bring a stretcher and carried Long Xiang back to the post house under the moonlight. On the way, he asked Feng Zhong about Long Yuan.

Feng Zhong respected Long Yuan's spirit of self-sacrifice and felt that it was not a military secret, so he told Cao Xing about his colleague's deeds, which made the other party sigh.

After settling down the "drunken" Long Xiang at the inn, Cao Xing stopped briefly and returned to Hao Meng's place.

As soon as the two met, Hao Meng asked anxiously: "How is the situation?"

"Long Xiang has already fallen asleep, and there is circumstantial evidence from the soldiers at the post. This person is indeed a light drinker. What did the general ask just now?" Cao Xing asked back.

Hao Meng shook his head slightly, "This guy got drunk too quickly, and he only got some superficial answers."

Cao Xing suddenly said seriously: "The general once said that he knew little about it. I asked Feng Zhong on the road and learned that Long Xiang's father, Long Yuan, led his troops to escape in order to cover the escape of Yuan Shu's main force. Long Yuan was killed in battle with his military merits.

Lieutenant, but Long Xiang only attacked Quhou. Thinking about this matter makes one’s teeth chill..."

Hao Meng pinched his chin and murmured: "No wonder Long Xiang lost his composure just now..."

"After Yuan Shu treated his loyal ministers so poorly, I don't know how sincere he is to you..." Cao Xing made a point in a roundabout way.

Hao Meng recalled what Long Xiang had just said and thought that since he was not from a famous family, joining Yuan Shu might not lead him to be reused. However, he had a high hatred for Lu Bu, so now he had another option.

"In the direction of Lieutenant General Cao, I haven't decided to rebel yet. Let's go back and listen to Chen Gong's opinion. Our family cannot risk this kind of decapitation." Hao Meng looked out the window with a stern face, the moonlight shining on him.

On that cold face, there was an emotion like hatred that had been accumulated for a long time and had to be vented as soon as possible. As long as Chen Gong could cooperate with him, he would be willing to risk it.
