Chapter 498 I have the advantage in fighting Jiangdong
After Liu Fu saw Long Xiang and left in a hurry, Lu Su sent people to prepare dry food for the horses and hurried out of the city in the afternoon of the same day.
Thinking of Mi Heng who was in the same kiln, Liu Fu didn't want to stay any longer.
On the way out of the city, Liu Fu saw the foundations of a residential area being laid. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva and left with a feeling of guilt towards Zhang Liao.
Not long after Liu Fu left the city, Long Xiang took Zhang Liao to garrison in the old city.
Since Taishi Ci had nothing to do, he also accompanied us and said he would visit.
Tang Wei had already lined up outside the city to greet him. He glanced at Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci, and finally his eyes fell on Long Xiang. He thought to himself, who would have thought that the child he watched grow up would actually take under his command all famous generals.
After a while of greetings and introductions, Tang Hui led a few people towards the center of the city. Their destination was Long Xiang's former residence.
After the big move in the old city, many mansions in the city were vacant. Long Xiang gave the original mansion to Tang Hui, but Tang Hui and his wife and children were accustomed to living in Hefei No. 1 and never moved into the Xiaowei Mansion.
Tang Wei only arranges for daily cleaning and tidying, which is usually used for office work and entertaining guests.
Everyone walked and stopped along the way, and Tang Yu was like a tour guide, introducing the past of Hefei to Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, and how Long Xiang led people and transformed the deserted city into its current appearance step by step.
Compared with the spaciousness of the new city, the layout of the old city is obviously compact. However, since most residents have moved to the new city, the streets are relatively less crowded and have a more life-like atmosphere.
Just as he walked out of the gate of the school captain's residence, Tang Wei suddenly stopped and said to Long Xiang seriously: "By the way, Yun Qi, you were busy with something in Xincheng this morning. I have something I didn't have time to report."
"What's the matter?"
"Just this morning, Yuanduan (Lei Xu) sent someone to bring the prisoner of war Ma Zhong, who is currently imprisoned in the city defense prison. Do you want to put him on trial?"
As soon as Tang Wei finished speaking, Long Xiang glanced at Tai Shici inadvertently.
Although Chen Lan and Lei Xu had not been in a hurry these past few days, Long Xiang knew that both Taishi Ci and Zhao Fan were worried about Liyang's wives, children, and children, but they were embarrassed to let Long Xiang send troops to rescue them.
Because mobilizing troops would be equivalent to a declaration of war, and the conflicts between Hefei and Jiangdong would be irreconcilable, Taishi Ci did not know what Long Xiang had in mind, so he did not take the initiative to mention it.
"Ma Zhong is a general under Pan Zhang. He should be aware of Lu Meng's conspiracy. I need Uncle Lao to bring him here so that Ziyi can ask about the situation."
"only."
Tang Wei followed the order and left with fists clasped in his hands. Just as Taishi Ci was about to say no, he was led into the mansion by Long Xiang.
The three of them then went to the main hall and sat down. Long Xiang looked at Taishi Ci with a smile and said comfortingly: "Since Liyang can send out prisoners of war, it means that the situation in Liyang is not bad. Please be patient for a few more days and wait for Lu Meng to withdraw."
If you can bring your family here, they can settle in the new city, the old city, or wherever."
"It all depends on the general's arrangements, but after suffering such a big loss, Lu Meng will not let it go. Sun Quan will definitely be angry. Have you thought about the consequences? You may be attacked from both sides." After Taishi Ci said this, he looked at Zhang Liao casually.
"Being attacked from both sides? No."
Long Xiang pointed at Zhang Liao and suddenly smiled and said: "I let Liu Fu go back to Xudu to show his goodwill. I think Cao Sikong will think about it. As for the consequences of angering Jiangdong? What are you afraid of? Wenyuan and you can stop it."
"Forehead"
It was true that Taishi Ci had returned home, but he was asked to point his sword at Jiangdong. He had not completed his psychological construction for a while. Even though Sun Quan was treating him poorly now, Sun Ce was pretty good to him at the beginning.
Thinking of this, he changed the subject and asked: "What does the general plan to do with Ma Zhong?"
Long Xiang waved his hand, looking unconcerned.
"This thief aided Zhou in his cruelty, and he must have killed many soldiers and civilians in Liyang. How does Ziyi plan to deal with it?"
"I?"
Taishi Ci pointed at himself, as if he couldn't believe it, then frowned and fell into deep thought.
Seeing Tai Shici's hesitation, Zhang Liao's serious face moved slightly, and he suggested: "Do you still need to consider this kind of ant? Just kill a hundred of them."
Taishi Ci ignored Zhang Liao. He knew that the other party was eager to fight. Killing Ma Zhong could further stimulate Jiangdong, so that a big war would be inevitable and Zhang Liao would have the opportunity to fight.
"The letter of surrender sent by Chen Lan should be dealt with at will by General Long. Please consider it carefully."
"It doesn't matter, Ziyi can do whatever he wants."
While several people were talking, several figures outside the palace began to move. It was Tang Wei who escorted Ma Zhong into the palace.
Ma Zhong's hands were tied, his hair was disheveled, and he knelt on the ground with a miserable look on his face, listening to his words. He was imprisoned in Liyang for several days, and then sent to Hefei. His original unruliness was gone.
Under the signal from Long Xiang's eyes, Taishi Ci walked up to Ma Zhong, grabbed his hair with one hand and lifted it up, then asked with empty eyes: "Dog thief, do you know who I am?"
"Are you Taishi Ci?"
Ma Zhong's pupils dilated in shock. He swallowed and asked, "Why are you here?"
Taishi Ci glanced sternly and said in a deep voice: "How dare you ask more questions, the prisoner below? Tell me about the situation in Liyang, and then talk about Lu Meng's troop deployment."
Ma Zhong was startled when he heard this. He shook his head and suddenly exclaimed: "So you really turned your back on the Lord and surrendered to the enemy? Damn it."
There was a snap.
When Taishi Ci heard that he had betrayed his master and surrendered to the enemy, he couldn't help but slapped Ma Zhong on the face, and then asked fiercely: "If you want to impose a crime, do you think Lu Meng wants me to die, so I should just kill him with his neck?"
Ma Zhong licked the blood on his lips. He knew that he would die if he fell into Tai Shici's hands, so he gave up any hope and replied sadly: "Kill me, you don't want to hear a word of it."
"You think I don't dare?" Tai Shici's eyes were about to sparkle.
At this moment, a soldier rushed into the hall, clasped his fists and reported to Tang Hui: "General Tang, hundreds of warships in Shishui have docked at Xiaoyaojin Ferry, and the soldiers on board have gathered on the shore. It seems that they are coming to Hefei.
.”
"I know, I'll be right away."
Tang Wei nodded calmly, then clasped his fists at Long Xiang and said, "Such a large number of warships must belong to Jiangdong. I will go and set up the city defense first, and you can take your time to review them."
"What is supposed to come will come sooner or later, but I don't know whether it is Lu Meng or Sun Quan. I will go to the tower to meet them in person."
"Well done, I'll go with you."
Long Xiang slapped his thigh and stood up, and Zhang Liao also stood up with excitement on his face.
"General Long, then me."
Long Xiang saw Taishi Ci's hesitant look. A little guy like Ma Zhong dared to rant. He guessed that Taishi Ci was afraid of being humiliated in front of old acquaintances, so he smiled and said, "If Ziyi doesn't want to go, you can stay here and continue the interrogation."
.”
"Okay." Taishi Ci nodded slightly.
As soon as they reached the entrance of the hall, they heard Ma Zhong's teasing voice from behind.
"You are a traitor who betrays your master, and you deserve to be embarrassed. I advise you to let me go first, and then tie yourself up and go out of the city to plead guilty."
"Noisy."
While Long Xiang was waiting at the palace gate to lead his horse, Zhang Liao pointed to the inside of the gate and said meaningfully: "It seems that Taishi Ziyi has a grudge in his heart, and I'm afraid he won't be able to help you resist the Jiangdong troops."
"It's okay, I have Wenyuan's high pillow and worry." Long Yan smiled and didn't care.
Long Yan can understand Tai Shici's mood. He did not take Lu Meng, Sun Quan's eyes, and said that Zhang Liao had 800 people to block 100,000 before, and there is no shortage of Hefei grain and grass.
Isn't the offense more than enough?
In addition, there is Zhang Liao BUFF bonus, the advantage is me.
