Taishi Ci said sadly: "Bo Chang doesn't need to be tied up with me. Even if I escape, what can I do? You have a brother who is a county guard, and you still have the opportunity to make achievements."

"I can lift it for the general. Be careful."

Before Zhao Fan could finish his words, he noticed Zhang Liao wielding his sword and was about two feet away. He immediately drew his gun and was about to seize the horse to fight.

"Remember what I just said, Zhang Liao's opponent is me."

Taishi Ci stopped Zhao Fan and rushed towards Zhang Liao like an arrow from a string.

"Well done, we will definitely decide the winner today."

Zhang Liao shouted loudly, knocked down a soldier, and then rode his horse to attack Taishi Ci.

Zhao Fan watched the two generals fighting with concern, wondering whether to leave or not.

Taishi Ci fought with Zhang Liao to the death and had no time to care what happened to him.

If only it were Hefei, General Long would definitely step in to save him.

Zhao Fan sighed secretly, pulled the reins and turned his horse around, and was about to leave when he suddenly heard loud killing sounds from the southwest. He wondered if reinforcements from Cao's troops were arriving again.

But the ensuing announcement changed Zhao Fan's mind.

Zhang Liao is the commander-in-chief of Cao's army in Huainan. How can the others use the banner? Could it be another army?

Immediately after the big banner, the surname flag appeared, with the font names such as Long and Xu.

Zhao Fan was overjoyed when he saw this, pointing to the southwest and loudly reminding: "General Ziyi, General Hefei Long has arrived with his troops. We are saved."

"Long Xiang?"

Zhang Liao didn't know whether Zhao Fan was causing trouble, but the sound passed by his ear and his sword skills were stable.

If a new army enters the scene, just ignoring it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

During the fight, the two men glanced around with their peripheral vision until they spotted Long Xiang's banner. Both sides stopped fighting at the same time and urged their horses to return to their own formations.

Even so, Zhang Liao's army still maintained the encirclement trend, but as Long Xiang led his troops from the rear, Taishi Ci and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Liao ordered his men to continue the siege of Taishi Ci, and he rode to the rear of the army to meet Long Xiang. He said to himself that he had given you face in Hefei last time, and now he came to my area to act wild. It was really unreasonable.

The soldiers under Long Xiang's command marched neatly, and there were no flaws in their tight formation. This was all due to the overwhelming vision of the telescope. During the march, for the sake of speed, the formation could not be required to be intact, and there was no time to make quick adjustments before the battle.

Seeing Zhang Liao coming on horseback from the front, Long Xiang waved his hand and held down the formation to wait.

Zhang Liole reined his horse, pointed his whip at Long Xiang and asked, "Long Yunqi, what are you doing here today?"

"Haha, Wen Yuan is very smart, can't you tell?" Long Xiang smiled brightly.

Zhang Liao reminded in a deep voice: "I gave you face last time in Hefei, and today you come to my area to provoke me again. Are you going to make an enemy of the imperial court for the sake of Tai Shici?"

"Court? Hahaha."

Long Xiang helped An and said with a smile: "The west of Feishui River belongs to the territory of Liu'an, and Liu'an is a county under the jurisdiction of Lujiang. As the governor of this county, I cannot move around in the area?"

"snort"

Zhang Liao snorted coldly and threatened: "It's meaningless to say that. The Lujiang administrative office is originally in Wan County, but you are stranded in Hefei. What's the point? My garrison in Lu'an is Cao Sikong's intention. General Long can Think clearly."

"Haha, I think clearly."

Long Xiang's expression suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "I saw that Wen Yuan left his post without permission, so he sent someone to take over Lu'an. You are homeless now, why do you need to kill General Taishi?"

"What did you say?" Zhang Liao's eyes were like bells.

I never expected that Long Xiang would be so bold. Capturing Cao Jun's city was like declaring war. Could Long Yunqi have gone crazy for Tai Shi Ci?

Long Xiang kept a serious face and continued to add: "We are old friends, so there are some things that we don't need to hide. Your enemy Li Dian has been killed, and Shouchun may have changed hands."

"What? Are you crazy?"

Zhang Liao was shocked. He originally thought he knew Long Xiang very well, but why was he so unfamiliar now?

Had he misjudged him before, or had Long Xiang been pretending? Who could have guessed after so many years?

Long Xiang snorted coldly: "Instead of questioning me, it is better to think about yourself. If Shouchun is obtained by me, the general may not be able to return to the Central Plains."

"Impossible. How many soldiers do you have? Can you capture Shouchun?"

Although Zhang Liao was nervous in his heart, he still said harsh words to give himself confidence.

"Wen Yuan is also a veteran general on the battlefield. Don't you know that the soldiers are no longer numerous but fine? Now that Li Dian's head is missing, do you want to rely on the kiln-burning governor to defend Shouchun? Can he beat my county prime minister Lu Zijing?

?”

"Lu Zijing"

Long Xiang's words were very lethal and made Zhang Liao's heart beat.

Although Liu Fu was a local official, he was not good at military strategy. How could he be Lu Su's opponent?

Zhang Liao shook his head to wake himself up, then thrust the sword across his chest and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't make up a story to ask me to let Tai Shici go. What if you come to save him? You Hefei native chicken tile?"

What can a dog do to me?"

"It's useless to talk too much if you are stubborn."

Long Xiang shook his head slightly, turned to Xu Ding and said: "Bo'an, General Zhang looks down on us. We will let the brothers fight for reputation later. You have to earn your reputation by yourself."

"General, don't worry, I will definitely live up to my command." Xu Ding clanged his fists.

Long Xiang looked at Qin Yilu again and said, "Zhong Kang should have arrived at his position. Quickly send an order for the Tiger Guards to launch an attack immediately."

"only."

Qin Yilu clasped his fists in response and immediately went to arrange the messengers.

Seeing that Long Xiang was about to mobilize the Tiger Guards to attack from a flank, Xu Ding hurriedly clasped his fists and admonished, "General, if I don't help my second brother, even the last general can defeat Zhang Liao."

"Bo An doesn't have to be like this."

Long Xiang waved his hand and refused and said: "We can't put our officers and soldiers in danger just because of a dispute of spirits. In the past, we always fought with fewer enemies. Now we are finally rich. This time we are open to fighting. Besides, Zhang Liao's soldiers are not weak.

Never underestimate the enemy."

"I can spare it."

Xu Ding was greatly moved when he heard this, and immediately commanded his troops to launch an offensive against Zhang Liao's troops.

Zhang Liao originally thought that Long Xiang was just saying harsh words, but when he saw Xu Dingshen leading his troops to kill him, he realized that Long Xiang was serious this time, and turned around to fight on the spot.

It was just a small test, but Zhang Liao found that Hefei's soldiers were not weak, his elites were not advantageous at all, and the newly recruited soldiers were completely at a disadvantage.

Long Xiang launched an attack from the rear. How could Taishi Ci let this opportunity pass? He and Zhao Fan commanded the remaining troops to counterattack violently, making Zhang Liao very uncomfortable when he was attacked from both sides.

Just when he was hesitating whether to withdraw his troops, Xu Chu led the Tiger Guards to attack from the northwest. If Zhang Liao did not break through, it would be too late.

Ordinarily, there were troops on the east, west, north, and west, so Zhang Liao should lead his troops to flee south, but Long Xiang claimed to have occupied Lu'an. It was risky to retreat to Lu'an now. If he lost his way south, he might end up at the border of Hefei.

After Zhang Liao thought briefly, he bit the bullet and headed north to break out of the encirclement.

He believed that although the Tiger Guards were coming with great force, they had rushed to the battlefield and had not established a stable foothold, so it would be easier to tear open the opening from the north.

Zhang Liao's misjudgment of the Tiger Guards ultimately resulted in heavy casualties for his soldiers.

After a fierce fight, thousands of people brought by Zhang Liao from Lu'an were jointly strangled by Long Xiang, Xu Chu, and Tai Shici. In the end, only about 800 people broke out of the siege.
