Seeing Qiao Rui's nervous expression, Long Xiang knew that he was confused. Thinking that the Qiao family's children were all underage, if Qiao Rui really died because of this, the family would be in great difficulty.

Yuan Shu was born in a prestigious and wealthy family. He had been a hawk and a lackey since he was a child. He was aloof and it was difficult for him to stoop down and treat others sincerely. Just like a lion in a pride of lions, it only knows that it has priority every time it eats and does not think about other lions in the pack.

Can you eat enough?

The relationship between Yuan Shu and his subordinate Wen Wu was a simple master-servant relationship. Most of his resources came from family inheritance, so he couldn't make many real friends. So when he attacked Cao Cao to capture Yanzhou, the foreign aid he looked for were the Montenegrin army Zhang Yan, Nan

The Xiongnu Chanyu and other fringe forces could not control the other princes.

Therefore, even if Qiao Rui is General Yuan Shu, the family members left behind after the accident will most likely not be treated too favorably, and it will be difficult for him to restore his former glory.

Long Xiang thought about these joints and thought about the Qiao family's kindness to him, and comforted him sincerely: "Master, don't think too much. Lu Bu and Your Majesty turned against each other due to marriage, but they did not become mortal enemies. With the current manpower and material resources in Huainan, Xuzhou is far away."

If we can't match him, even if Lu Bu wins a small victory, he should give it up as soon as possible. I believe General Qiao can return safely."

Qiao Min nodded, "The analysis is well-founded, and I feel a little more at ease. Yun Qi is indeed as wise as his father said..."

"What kind of wisdom do I have? I just like to think too much when I have nothing to do..." Long Xiang waved his hand modestly, and reminded Qiao Min seriously: "General Qiao's life and death are uncertain now. The family should be very worried, right? Young Master, this is

You should stay at home and comfort your wife and young lady. You are the only male in the Qiao family and the future pillar..."

"Well... the eldest sister said the same thing. When my mother learned that my father had an accident, she fell ill in bed due to excessive worry..." Qiao Nian's words were full of sadness.

Long Xiang patted the Qiaomen on the shoulder a little presumptuously, and said softly like an elder brother telling his younger brother: "Then go home quickly. The most important thing is to protect your family. Stop running around..."

"knew..."

Qiao Min has been soft-tempered since he was a child, and after listening to Long Xiang's words, he seemed very well-behaved. He said goodbye in a confused manner and turned around, but after taking a few steps, he stopped and looked back.

Seeing this, Long Xiang hurried forward to greet him, frowning and asking: "Master, do you have anything else to do?"

"I have a request, I don't know whether I should or should not say it..." Qiao Nian raised his head and looked at Long Xiang, his clear eyes flashing.

Long Xiang clasped his fists after hearing this and replied sonorously: "General Qiao has been very kind to me. As long as the general is within his ability, he will definitely do his best."

"Yunqi is so smart. If it's possible, I mean if, can you think of a way to save my father?"

Qiao Wan spoke hesitantly, and he felt it was very ridiculous, but before going out to find Long Xiang, Qiao Wan had specifically given instructions, so he asked in passing.

Long Xiang was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said: "Young master, go back first, I will try to think of a way..."

"Oh...okay..."

Qiao Min said goodbye and turned around with a surprised look on his face, saying to himself that the second sister was really good at knowing things. No matter whether Long Xiang was perfunctory or not, he really accepted it seriously.

Qiao Wan is the smartest among the three siblings. Qiao Wan plans to go back and ask if there is any way to train her brain. Why does she feel that the gap in intelligence is getting bigger and bigger?

When Tang Wei sent the Qiaomen down the tower, Long Xiang waved him to his side and asked with a serious face: "Is it Uncle Wei's column leader who was sent to Xiapi to deliver the message last year?" (The column leader is one of the five people, right?)

Commander, equivalent to the squad leader of the army, is the lowest level manager in the army)

"Well, this person's name is Luo Yicheng. He has been following me for several years. He is absolutely trustworthy." Tang Hui replied seriously.

Long Xiang frowned, pinched his chin, and asked again: "It has been more than half a year since last year, and there is no news at all?"

"No, I guess Han Yin didn't..." Tang Hui's face suddenly changed in the middle of his words, and he hurriedly added: "I heard that Han Yin was secretly sent to the head of Xudu. Luo Yicheng is afraid that he doesn't know the situation and may still be stranded.

In Xiapi City..."

Last year, Luo Yicheng was ordered to deliver a letter to Xiapi to retrieve the twenty soldiers and sneaked back into the city to secretly collect information that was not beneficial to Long Xiang. After all, Long Xiang had a close relationship with Han Yin and could easily be betrayed by the other party.

.

Luo Yicheng's nail was planted to prepare for a rainy day. Once Han Yin betrayed him, Long Xiang could evacuate from Shouchun in time.

Long Xiang looked at Tang Wei and asked tentatively: "Uncle Wei, do you think you can send someone to go to Xiapi and ask Luo Yicheng to find a way to rescue General Qiao?"

"Let Luo Yicheng rescue General Qiao? Although this person is smart and flexible, there is only one person after all..." Tang Wei answered without any confidence.

"It's not possible to do it alone. When Yuan Shu wanted to instigate Hao Meng, I sent him a letter. This person is the captain of the defense school in Xiapi City. In addition, Han Yin is also in contact with Chen Gong. If Luo Yicheng is allowed to operate in Xiapi

, maybe we can make something happen with the help of these two people?”

"I don't know if he can do it..."

"No... it doesn't work well, it could lead to death..." Long Xiang denied it at first, and then pressed his temple with one hand to think of countermeasures.

Seeing Long Xiang leaning against the city wall with a sad face, Tang Wei comforted him softly: "Yunqi, don't be too burdened. Although you agree to the young master's request, this matter is beyond our ability. It's better to wait for Lu Bu to make the conditions."

Come, Your Majesty will try to redeem General Qiao."

"I'm afraid that Lu Bu's conditions are harsh, and our Majesty won't be able to bear it..." Long Xiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then told Tang Wei: "Whether General Qiao can be saved or not, Luo Yicheng has to notify him to withdraw, but the two families are still there.

During the war, the road to Xiapi may not be safe, so you should go ahead and be prepared and wait."

"Wei." Tang Hui cupped his fists and accepted the order.

On the frontal battlefield in Xuzhou, although Zhang Xun retreated and gathered his troops, Lu Bu did not give him a chance to counterattack. He chased and killed him like a wolf chasing a flock of sheep. The morale of the Huainan army collapsed again and again. In the end, all he could think about was

A thought while running away.

In early May, Lu Bu traveled hundreds of miles to Zhongli County, Jiujiang County.

There was the Huai River blocking the way, but there were not enough boats to cross the river. Countless soldiers drowned here, and only ten survivors returned to the south bank. Fortunately, Yuan Shu's reinforcements had arrived at Zhongli.

The two armies were engaged in a stalemate across the river on the bank of the Huai River. Lü Bu, in high spirits with the power of his victory, rode in front with two generals, Han Xian and Yang Feng, wondering whether they should make a concerted effort.

Chen Gui took the opportunity to ride forward, raised his hands and suggested: "In this battle, our army has received countless baggage. I think there are less than ten thousand soldiers and horses on the other side. Why not cut down wood and build boats to continue crossing the river? Wen Hou can take advantage of the high fighting spirit of the soldiers, and he can do it with one fell swoop."

By pacifying Huainan and annihilating Yuan Shu, everyone can make great contributions to the present and leave a good name in history."

"Good." Generals Han Xian and Yang Feng nodded at the same time.
