Work to atone for sins

Thousands of craftsmen from Lujiang fled to Hefei, and their craftsmanship involves all aspects of production and life.

These people originally served Yuan Shu and other dignitaries in Shouchun, but now they have come to Hefei to make full use of their talents.

Long Xiang, who was a project manager, was a little obsessed with "technicians". When he asked Lu Su to write a letter to incite rebellion against Liu Ye, he did not forget the craftsmen stranded in Wan County.

If you train your own ‘technicians’ step by step, how can you feel as comfortable as using ready-made ones? What’s more, Long Xiang is only proficient in construction technology, and most of the other fields are knowledge blind spots.

While Long Xiang was lost in thought about the telescope, Xu Chu's reminder suddenly came from beside him.

"General, someone is coming."

Long Xiang then looked intently and saw dust flying in the fields to the south.

Several black spots are moving rapidly, and the figures are becoming more and more obvious.

"Is he Sun Ce's scout?"

"I don't know"

When Lu Su shook his head gently, Liu Ye beside him twisted his beard to talk.

"I guess it's Sun Ce's envoy. He probably wants to make a scene, or he's here to ask for prisoners."

Long Xiang asked in a deep voice: "After losing the battle, you still want to take prisoners? Sun Ce is not so shameless, right? Do you really think that I, Long Xiang, are easy to talk to?"

Liu Ye spread his hands and said with a smile: "War and diplomacy complement each other. It is understandable for Sun Ce to do this. It is best to think of a way to deal with it in advance."

"Actually, we can't say that Sun Ce was defeated. It's just that we have the defensive advantage of the city. If the two sides line up in the wild, we have almost no chance of winning. Since we can't compete with Sun Ce at this time, we should try to leave as much room as possible in front of the envoy later." Lu Su

Also follow up with supplements and reminders.

"How can we leave any room? Return those prisoners?"

Long Xiang looked sulky and said to himself that although we are not heroes, we should not imitate the weak Song Dynasty and have to beg for peace and compensation if we win.

The mouth can be soft, but the bones must be hard.

Lu Su smiled and explained: "It's not appropriate to send him directly. We can ask Sun Ce for conditions, but it's best to make the excuse more high-sounding, otherwise it's easy to turn against him."

"Is Long Sima in the city? Zhang Zhao asks to see him."

While Long Xiang and Lu Su were thinking, Zhang Zhao had rushed to the city and shouted.

"Let General Xu stabilize the other party and see you again when you think of a suitable excuse."

"What Ziyang said is true."

Seeing Lu Su and Liu Ye saying this, Xu Chu looked at Long Xiang and waited for the answer.

When Long Xiang turned around and glanced at Lu Su, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and he smiled knowingly.

"No need, I've thought of a way to deal with it."

After that, he walked to the edge of the city wall.

"What are you doing here, Zibu? It's not safe for you to stand in that position."

"Haha, Sima Long, you're joking. I came to Hefei to make peace on your lord's orders."

Although Zhang Zhao didn't say anything, his body was very honest. When he saw Xu Chu next to Long Xiang, he moved back silently, for fear of becoming the next Han Dang, and because he thought he was not as physically strong as Han Dang.

Long Xiang nodded slightly when he saw this: "Since I have been ordered to negotiate peace, then I will order people to open the city gate and Zibu to the city."

Zhang Zhao was worried about being trapped in Hefei, so he hurriedly interrupted Long Xiang before he could finish speaking.

"Forgive me, Long Sima. Zhao still has to rush to board the ship. Why don't you just say it here?"

"Here? Sir, look up and work hard. See you when I get down."

Long Xiang turned around and patted Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, come with me out of the city."

"only."

"I'll go too."

Lu Su was worried that Long Xiang had no negotiation experience and would suffer a loss at the hands of Zhang Zhao later, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to follow him out of the city. Liu Ye immediately gave him a look of approval.

After a while, Long Xiang, Xu Chu, Lu Su and two guards left the city. Like Zhang Zhao's delegation, there were only five people on the Hefei side.

Among the five people who accompanied Long Xiang, Lu Su had the lowest martial arts, but with Xu Chu, the God of Killing, Zhang Zhao would be killed even if he suddenly showed malicious intent.

"Long Sima is full of sincerity, Zhao will tell the story to the Lord"

"Mr. Zibu, don't get me wrong. I came down to the city to meet you just because of your honor. It has nothing to do with your master Sun Ce."

Seeing that Long Xiang was being treated with great courtesy, Zhang Zhao wanted to take the opportunity to ease the embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, Long Xiang came to harm him when he opened his mouth. The guard beside Zhang Zhao was not deaf.

"Ahem, I want to say that this is a misunderstanding. I wonder if Long Sima believes it?"

"Misunderstand?"

Long Xiang looked at Lu Su in shock, saying in his heart that the Jiangdong rats were too shameless.

After a few days of fighting, I dare say there is a misunderstanding. What do those corpses lying on the wall count?

"Zibu Xiu mentioned the misunderstanding. Can the misunderstanding last for six or seven days? If you want to make peace, be sincere and don't talk about those illusory things." Lu Su understood and launched a verbal offensive.

The implication was that Zhang Zhao was told to state his purpose directly without having to beat around the bush, so that Long Xiang could make the conditions easier.

Zhang Zhao naturally understood the implication, so he held up his hands and smiled at Lu Su.

"Haha, I don't want Zi Jing to be honest and kind-hearted, but he has a very impatient temper. I said the misunderstanding must be well-founded. The master was actually instigated by a villain, otherwise the two families would not have had this war disaster."

"Instigated by a villain? Who?"

Lu Su frowned in confusion, but Long Xiang seemed to understand.

Zhang Zhao explained: "It was Cai Jijin, Liu Xun's brother-in-law, who slandered the two daughters of the Qiao family and said that Hefei got a lot of grain and rice from Zheng Bao. My lord was not aware of it for a while. Alas, I regret it now."

"I'm afraid I won't regret it if I don't notice it"

"Don't worry, Long Sima. A traitor like Cai Ji will only harm others if he remains in this world. This person has now been taken to Jiangdong. We will send his head to apologize when we get back."

Long Xiang sneered secretly when he heard this, wondering who the wise man had come up with this idea?

Using Cai Ji's head to relieve the siege seems to have been frequently used during the Three Kingdoms period.

"Haha, General Sun is interested."

Long Xiang finished speaking calmly, and then added: "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, it can be considered that we are no strangers to Sun Boxu, and the two families will live in harmony from now on."

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he was overjoyed and praised: "Long Sima understands the righteousness well. This is the blessing of the people of Hefei. If you don't know each other without fighting, you can even speak like pearls and witty words."

"Since the two families have agreed to separate, I will not leave Zibu alone. Lan Zhou urges us to go back and board the ship quickly. Don't miss the time."

Long Xiang wanted to catch him, so he pointed behind Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao has a mission on his shoulders, how can he go back like this?

He smiled awkwardly and replied cautiously: "There is no delay. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, the Jiangdong people trapped in Hefei"

"Zi Bu, please explain more clearly."

Seeing that the other party hesitated to speak, Long Xiang continued to pretend to be confused.

Zhang Zhao had no choice but to confess: "Long Sima released the prisoners a few days ago. Can you release the rest of them out of the city and let me take them back?"

"That won't work"

Long Xiang shook his head with a serious face and explained: "General Sun listened to the slander and came to seize Hefei. Although it was unethical to bully the many and the few, he still came to take it with real swords and guns. Deng Dang's villainous behavior was despised. They

If you incite rebellion and destroy houses in Hefei, you must stay and work to make up for your sins."

"Ah? I wonder how long it will take to work?"

"It depends on the labor performance, which can be as short as three to five years or as long as ten years."

After listening to the darkness, Zhang Zhao said that he said it was not enough. What did he do?

Zhang Zhao followed the roots and asked: "The time is too long, can this be discussed?"

"Discuss? It's not impossible"

Zhang Zhaozheng waited for the answer, Long Yan suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you make a mixed into Hefei to make an internal response, is it Zhou Lang's plan?"
