Chapter 184 Don’t fight anymore

Among the five camps in Hefei, Huwei is the least active, but also the strongest.

Except for extreme weather, Xu Chu would insist on training every day so that the Huwei camp could fight at any time.

Long Xiang wanted to go out for reconnaissance, so he naturally brought the most capable soldiers.

The enemy harassment around Hefei was both expected and unexpected by Long Xiang.

It was expected that the three forces of Li Shu, Yan Xiang, and rogue bandits were pulling strings in Huainan, and one day they would not be able to bypass Hefei, the center of Huainan. What was unexpected was that the harassment came too quickly.

There are two counties in Yangzhou south of the Huai River and north of the Yangtze River, Jiujiang and Lujiang. When Yuan Shu was alive, he only controlled them in name, but in fact they were controlled by local powerful men.

The cities and population of Jiujiang County were originally concentrated on the south bank of the Huai River, from Shouchun in the west to Zhongli in the east, a total of nine counties. These nine counties are currently under the control of Yan Xiang, the governor;

Among the five counties in the south, Hefei was occupied by Long Xiang. Because he destroyed Zheng Bao and defeated Sun Ce, Junqiu County, a hundred miles east of Hefei, sent people many times to send gifts as a show of goodwill;

Among the three southernmost counties, Liyang is close to the Yangtze River and depends on Sun Ce, Fuling and Quanjiao. Two counties are in a state of autonomy.

There are fourteen counties in Lujiang County, and the population is mainly concentrated around Wan County in the south. Sun Ce attacked Liu Xun and captured this place. He left Li Shu with limited troops, and he only occupied seven counties near the Yangtze River;

Haoxian County and the counties in the north were occupied by the old tribes of Yuan Shu, such as Chen Lan, Lei Xu, Mei Qian, etc., and the strongholds of Huainan.

Sun Ce sent his counselor Chen Duan to Wan County last year to help Li Shu in his plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves in Huainan. Unfortunately, the governor Yan Xiang was not a fool. He did not dare to go south to Hefei to provoke Long Xiang, so he went west to win over Chen Lan and others.

The powerful people tried to control the northern part of Lujiang River in the name of the imperial court.

Li Shu failed to drive the tigers to devour the wolves, so he incited the powerful men in Xian County, Lu'an and other places, saying that Hefei Longxiang would only stand firm, and suggested that these people go to the surrounding areas to plunder money and food.

Hefei is connected to Chaohu Lake in the south and Shaopi next to Chengde in the north. There are two rivers, Shishui River and Feishui River in the middle. This land is fertile and is especially suitable for farming.

Yuan Shu's defeat, the power of the Zhong family dissipated, Liu Xun was defeated by Sun Ce, and Long Xiang's rise to fame made the originally barren Hefei a paradise in people's hearts, attracting a large number of refugees in the Huainan region, making Hefei the most populous county in Jiujiang and Lujiang.

city ​​of.

The city is gradually saturated with resettlement, and the conditions for building a new city are immature. This is what Long Xiang is most worried about at this stage, so even if dozens of riders suddenly appear, he has to pay attention.

It feels like playing StarCraft. When the resources of the original base are not enough, you need to build a new base nearby to open a mine. However, because the defense force is too late to deploy, you are frantically harassed by the opponent.

One company may be able to handle the harassment, but if multiple companies come in turns, they will be exhausted. In the end, not only will the branch base not be opened, but it will also bring down the development of the main base.

Long Xiang didn't like to be led by others, so he took the Tiger Guard Camp to conduct personal reconnaissance today. In addition to defending against enemies, he also had important inspection work.

Hefei New City does not have the conditions, but it is possible to build some beacon towers along the river and build some defensive posts in the Tuntian District to effectively prevent harassment by small groups of enemies.

Longxiang was less than ten miles out of the city when Cao Xing's cavalry sentry came to report again, saying that the dozens of cavalry in the north might not be the enemy, because he saw a carriage behind the team from a distance.

"Explore again."

Long Xiang waved his hand to send the sentinel away, and his frowned brow straightened out, thinking that the people in the car must be Liu Bei's family members.

After waiting for several months, I finally got news about the Three Heroes of Taoyuan, but they were beaten a bit badly by Cao Cao. There were only a few dozen riders left out of the 20,000 people in Xuzhou?

"General, if the enemy harasses you, you will never bring a carriage, or are you sure they are back?"

Xu Wei has not returned from his trip for several months, and Xu Chu, as the leader of the ethnic group, is also quite worried. He used to be as calm as a stone, but now his expression is obviously happy.

"I guess so."

Long Xiang thought that Liu Bei had arrived here from Xuzhou, and his horses were already tired after sitting down. He should ride up to meet him, but he only had six horses with him, so he ordered Xu Chu to say: "Xu Wei may have brought distinguished guests. You can take these horses and go ahead."

Welcome, I will lead the infantry of the Tiger Guard Battalion to follow."

"only."

"Zhongkang, wait a minute."

Xu Chu cupped his fists and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Long Xiang.

"General, do you have any other orders?"

"If it's not Xu Wei but the enemy, you can't fight recklessly. You should retreat first and wait for me. Remember safety first."

Long Xiang warned with a serious look.

"General, don't worry." Xu Chu clasped his fists loudly.

Although Xu Chu was big, he was not a reckless man. Faced with Long Xiang's caution and concern, instead of being angry because of his strength, he felt very pleased.

Only when you are one of your own will you give such instructions. How can an ordinary lord care about your life or death?

Long Xiang does not conquer the people around him with power, wealth or force. His unique charm is his sincere treatment of others.

The war horses in Hefei are scarce. Half of them were obtained from the destruction of Zheng Bao. Most of them were given to the cavalry battalion. A small number of short and weak horses were transferred to plowing fields. The rest were distributed to the generals of the four battalions. The Tiger Guard Battalion received a total share.

Less than ten horses.

Although he guessed that the cavalry might not be enemies, Long Xiang was not as conceited and arrogant as Sun Ce, so he rushed forward with a few cavalry to take risks.

If he encountered an opponent like Tai Shici, Long Xiang could not guarantee that he would be able to escape. If Xu Chu was also taken away at the same time, there would be no one to lead the infantry of the Huwei camp, so he sent Xu Chu to take the lead.

Xu Chu took the order and rode away, while Long Xiang led the tiger guards to continue marching.

After walking for more than ten miles, I saw the cavalry in formation in the field ahead. In front of the formation, two generals were fighting hard, and cheers and shouts came one after another.

Good guy, I just warned you a lot, did you slap the mosquitoes in your ears?

Just as Long Xiang was about to raise his gun and signal to march at full speed, a Pegasus suddenly rushed out from the formation in front. As he ran, he stretched out his hand and shouted: "General Long, Sima Long"

The sound went from unclear to clear, and the figure on the horse gradually grew from small to large. When he ran two or three feet away, he saw Luo Yicheng.

"Luo Yicheng, I have met the general."

Luo Yi was about to dismount from his horse and salute, but Long Xiang stopped him with gestures, frowned and asked, "Who is Zhong Kang fighting with?"

"It's General Zhang Yide. He heard that Governor Xu was very skilled in martial arts and would start a fight as soon as they met. Xu Wei and I couldn't stop him at all."

Luo Yicheng looked helpless.

"What a nonsense. Liu Shijun and General Guan didn't stop you?"

"They're not with us."

"hiss"

Long Xiang rode forward without asking any questions. Since he knew that the people in front of him were all his own, he had no scruples at this time. He thought that the second master would probably take advantage of his achievements in history, but he didn't know if Liu Bei would go to Hebei.

Zhang Fei and Xu Chu were both powerful warriors. Long Xiang was afraid that the two tigers would be injured in a head-on collision, so he twitched his horse's butt crazily and planned to step forward to stop them.

"Yide."

"Zhongkang."

"You guys, please stop fighting."

While Long Xiang was shouting, the sky suddenly turned gloomy, and large dark clouds were gathering above his head. It looked like it would rain soon.

The continuous spring rain moistens everything, but it is not a good thing for marching.

Long Xiang gave a bitter smile and thought to himself that he is really a good guy. Is this line poisonous?
