Chapter 70 Because he deserves to be beaten

"That's fine."

Long Xiang nodded to continue moving forward, thinking that Cao Xing's skills in bow and arrow were quite good, and he could help defend the city in Hefei in the future.

The group of people, dressed in Cao Jun uniforms, were relatively relaxed and at ease when they saw the people on the roadside. They stayed overnight without encountering any obstacles. It took them two days to successfully reach the outskirts of Qiao County.

It was almost dusk at that time, so Long Xiang asked someone about the location of the pier, and then walked straight to the pier, with no intention of spending the night in the city.

It had been more than ten days since the Qixian breakout. In addition to intercepting and killing Huainan soldiers, Cao Cao's army also took the opportunity to occupy the southern territory of Pei State, thereby expanding its control in Yuzhou.

Troops continue to be deployed on the front line, and the supply of food and grass to the rear continues.

Xia Houyuan, as Cao Cao's grain supervisor, was stationed in Qiao County to transport grain.

When Long Xiang arrived at the Qiao County pier, the day's grain loading work was almost finished. There were only a dozen grain trucks lined up on the shore, and civilian workers in twos and threes were finishing the work.

After waiting there for a while, Cao Xing returned after being ordered to inquire about the news.

On the way to the river, Long Xiang saw several Cao soldiers holding long halberds and rushing toward them menacingly.

"Humph, you are not old, and your tone is not young. Have you ever heard of the name Xiahou Miaocai? If you are sensible, leave quickly."

"Isn't this just a coincidence?"

Tang Hui added contemptuously: "He said Han Hao is nothing, he is a member of General Miaocai (Xia Houyuan), and he insulted my general like this?"

"You say it first."

By coincidence, Li Xin happened to see her subordinate being slapped.

"Because he deserves a slap. Two slaps are cheap. You might as well ask yourself, huh."

Seeing Tang Wei's arrogant attitude, Li Xin turned around and stared at Huotou and asked, "What on earth did you say?"

"No. But"

Han Hujun? How can he be compared with General Xiahou?

Li Xin snatched away his own fire head and looked fiercely at the bearded Tang Hui.

Clang Clang Clang.

Soldiers from both sides drew their weapons one after another, and a tense situation immediately developed.

Before Cao Junhuo could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted again. He turned around angrily and saw Tang Hui's angry face and a group of equally angry soldiers.

Long Xiang turned to look at Cao Xing, pointed at the fire head under the horse, and asked knowingly:

Before Huotou had finished speaking, Tang Hui looked at him fiercely.

"What does cooperation mean? I'll mainly rely on you for a while. I'll go and make a sample first."

"Who is the general? He dared to force his way into Qiao County Pier and injured my subordinate Huo Tou. If you can't give a reasonable explanation, you don't have to leave today."

Tang Wei replied with a serious expression, "I will cooperate with you in a while."

"The last general, Li Xin, is the officer under General Miaocai."

"Wuna, what did you just say?"

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you going to rebel?"

The leader of the fire asked fiercely.

There was a crisp sound, and Tang Wei unexpectedly slapped him in the face, making stars shine in his eyes.

Long Xiang turned to Tang Wei and confirmed: "Uncle Wei, do you know what to do?"

"I wonder what you call the general? What business do you have at our Qiao County dock?"

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"The garrison on the pier is a direct descendant of Xia Houyuan. Their attitude is very tyrannical. I'm afraid it will be difficult to negotiate with them." Cao Xing stopped talking.

"Huh? Did I wrong you just now?"

Long Xiang held the horse's neck, moved his body to explore forward, and replied with even crazier words.

Huotou was confused at this time and couldn't speak.

Huo Tou was so frightened by the soldiers of Tang Dynasty that he swallowed his saliva and did not dare to speak.

Li Xin finally understood that one of his people insulted Han Hao in public and was grabbed by his subordinates. This kind of thing could be big or small. He thought about it and immediately changed the subject.

"Who said we were going to seize the ship? Don't forget your current identity. We will use the ship in an honest manner."

"you"

After Long Xiang finished speaking fearlessly, he immediately added in a low voice: "Is Xia Houyuan on the dock?"

"These grain ships won't leave until tomorrow morning, and there are more troops stationed at the dock than us. I just approached and asked, and there were patrols running over to chase them away. I'm afraid it won't be easy to seize the ships."

After Long Xiang said this, he raised his whip and whipped it. The horse neighed and rushed forward. Cao's soldiers who were blocking the road unconsciously got out of the way, and the two rode away in pairs.

Just as Cao Xing was using his weapons to push aside the Cao soldiers blocking the way, and Long Xiang urged his horse to take a few steps forward, the leader of the Cao army suddenly raised his halberd across the front.

"As the saying goes, the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the violent, and the violent are afraid of losing their lives. The softer you are, the more violent they will be. So what about Xiahou Yuan? He can manage Han Hao's soldiers? Han Hao is Xiahou Dun's adjutant.

What do we have to fear?"

The leader of Cao's army on the dock, the fiery superior officer Li Xin, saw a strange team breaking into the dock, and his subordinates could not stop them, so he hurried over with the garrison to check.

Long Xiang pretended to be sophisticated to scare the other party, but the fiery man quickly woke up and pointed at Long Xiang's back and cursed:

"Who is Han Hao? Stop it quickly."

Cao Xing shook his head and replied, "I said I came here for inspection in the afternoon and have now returned to the city to rest."

"Let's go ahead and take a look. Maybe these boats are enough."

Tang Wei frowned and raised his head slightly, like a proud giraffe.

Cao Xing nodded slightly in confirmation. The fiery head looked Long Xiang up and down. Seeing that Long Xiang looked like an officer, he sneered:

"Officer Li, this is a fight."

"Are you deaf? The wharf is a land of food and grass. Don't wander around here if you have nothing to do. Why did you bring someone here instead?"

After speaking, Long Xiang raised his hand and led Cao Xing on horseback to take the lead, while Tang Hui held his ground and moved forward slowly.

"Bastard, do you know who we are? We are part of Han Hujun. We have important military information and we need to rush to Qi County. The ships at the dock have been requisitioned, so get out of here."

"I didn't."

With a snap, Tang Wei raised his palm to slap Huo Tou again, and put five fingers on the other half of Huo Tou's face.

Tang Wei reluctantly dismounted and approached him, staring into his eyes and asking: "As for what General Han just said, you can say it again in front of me."

He also threatened to commandeer grain ships. Is this guy crazy?

"This man is talking to us? Which general does he belong to? How dare you be so crazy?"

"There will be no more."

When Huotou saw the reinforcements coming, he pointed at Tang Hui and complained in a tearful voice.

"Xia Houyuan? What shall we do?"

"No, that person just said Xiahou."

While the fiery head was frozen in place, Long Xiang raised his riding crop and pointed it forward, completely ignoring him.

"It turns out to be Chief Li. I am Yuan Hao, the Marquis of Qu, under the command of Han Hujun. I was ordered to go to Qiao County to handle important matters. Now I must return to Qixian County immediately to resume my duties. Because it is more convenient to take the waterway, I have to requisition your grain transport ship."

When Li Xin heard that the other party was a Quhou, she glanced at the fire head next to her and said to herself that he was three ranks higher than you in the military, so he didn't know how to keep his mouth shut.

When she heard about the requisition of grain ships, Li Xin's face suddenly turned grim.

"The men of Han Hujun came to commandeer General Miaocai's ship. Marquis Yuan Qu even beat some people for it, fearing that our general would not obey."
