Han Xiang

Chapter 132

"Holding together for warmth? Does that mean forming an alliance? That's great."

"That's what Liu Taishou means. We can communicate with each other, and we can help each other when we meet enemies."

When Liu Ye was enumerating the benefits, Long Xiang interrupted him immediately, the words 'communicating with each other' were too sensitive, he would not agree, and could not agree.

"Stop, let me ask you a question, how did Prefect Liu communicate with me? Or is he still committed to Zijing?"

"Long Sima, Hefei hangs alone to the north of the Lujiang River, can it stop Zheng Bao, can it stop Cao Cao?

The new governor of Yangzhou has arrived in Shouchun, and it will be a matter of time before the northern army goes south. Since he knows that Hefei will not be able to hold it sooner or later, why should the general do useless work?

It is better to move the family and the people south to Shu County, Juchao and other places, and make each other horns with the garrison in Wan County. "

"Huh? Haha."

After hearing this, Long Xiang couldn't stop laughing. After a while, he lowered his head and asked Liu Ye: "I thought Liu Xun's goal was only Zijing, but I didn't expect him to want to recruit Hefei? Who gave him the courage? Liang Jingru?"

"Liang Jingru? Who is it?"

Liu Ye looked at Lu Su in confusion.

Lu Su spread his hands, expressing that he didn't know, Long Xiang often said some strange things, he was used to it.

Long Xiang said coldly: "It doesn't matter who Liang Jingru is, if you want Hefei, just like Zheng Bao, you can get it yourself with real knives and guns, and it won't work in my place just relying on the master's three-inch tongue."

"The two families have the same origin, why bother to attack and commit suicide?" Liu Ye squinted his eyes.

Long Xiang pointed at Lu Su, and said righteously: "You'd better ask Zijing, is everything in Hefei easy? The people here work non-stop all year long, so they can barely eat enough, and the brothers can also eat a little bit. Settle down, how can Liu Xun and He De come to pick my peaches? Don't even think about it!"

"This"

Liu Ye still wanted to argue, but Lu Su took it over: "Ziyang, Liu Zitai is the prefect of Lujiang, but Hefei belongs to Jiujiang County, and his hand has indeed stretched out."

"Go back and tell Liu Xun, let him take care of his own affairs, don't think about it all day long, if he really wants to fight, I will accompany him with both hands."

Long Xiang fisted his outstretched hands, and his knuckles made a bang bang.

"Divide to lose, and combine to benefit. Why should the general say so? The conditions can still be negotiated."

Seeing Long Xiang's agitation, Liu Ye turned around and gave Lu Su a sharp wink, as if to say that you should persuade me quickly.

Isn't diplomacy just pulling each other and finding a balance in the end?Wouldn't this refusal offend Liu Xun?

Long Xiang noticed Liu Ye's little tricks, and quickly stopped him, saying: "I am different from Liu Xundao and do not conspire with each other. Besides, Zijing should not make up his mind. He promised me to stay in Hefei for three years. Sir, don't let him break his promise. A gentleman is not. Is it based on faith?"

After hearing this, Liu Ye spread his hands, sat down helplessly, poured wine for himself, then drank it with his head up, and said with emotion: "After all, Long Sima is too young, only thinking that there is no way out in front of him, so he hurt himself. It also delays Zijing"

Long Xiang asked meaningfully: "So Mr. thinks there is a way out with Liu Xun?"

"In the long run, Liu Zitai is not as good as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but in the current Jianghuai land, Lujiang is a good place to go."

Liu Ye sat up straight and talked to himself.

Long Xiang sneered: "Since Liu Xun is not as good as Cao Cao, why did you persuade me to go to Lujiang? Can't I just vote for Cao Cao? You asked Zijing to go with him, wouldn't you be cheating your friend?"

"You and Cao Cao have a hatred for killing your father, are you really willing to turn to your enemy?"

Liu Ye glanced at Lu Su, as if he was saying to prick up your ears and listen, this is the Long Xiang you trust?I'll help you find out what he really thinks.

Long Xiang didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Before answering sir's question, please answer me a question first. If Liu Xun is defeated in the future, and all the cities of Lujiang fall, sir, as a clan member of the Han family, what will you do?" Run away with him?"

"What's the problem if a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall?"

"Let me make the question more specific. If Sun Ce defeated Liu Xun, he could only lead his troops to vote for Cao Cao. Will Mr. Xu also follow?"

"Sun Ce? How is it possible? Lujiang has a lot of troops."

"Sir, don't get excited. I'm just hypothesizing. You just need to tell me, will you vote for Cao Cao?"

Liu Ye didn't know what Long Xiang meant, so he twirled his beard and looked at Lu Su, hoping to get a hint of reminder, but the other party spread his hands to show that he didn't know.

"Ahem. The emperor is allowing me to be natural."

"It seems that the master already has the answer, and my answer is also very clear. I would rather die than join the bandit Cao, otherwise my late father will not be able to rest in peace."

Liu Ye nodded slightly, and then asked: "Long Sima and Cao Cao are at odds, but now he rejects Governor Liu's kindness, why don't he sit in Hefei and wait to die? You didn't delay Zijing by doing this? Three years is not a short time."

"To tell the truth, sir, the reason why Zijing stayed for three years was because he had a bet with me. I predicted that Sun Ce would die within three years. He stayed in Hefei to wait for the result." Long Xiang said with a leisurely smile.

Liu Ye was quite shocked. He swallowed to confirm: "Sun Ce? Three years?"

Long Xiang smiled and raised two fingers: "It's only been two years now."

"Sun Ce is young and has no serious diseases. This bet is real."

Liu Ye shook his head when he heard it. When he was talking, he looked at Lu Su and thought to himself, why are you messing around with a child?It's just ridiculous.

Seeing this, Long Xiang suddenly had an idea, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zi Yang, do you want to join? If Sun Ce survives within two years, I will bring the people of Hefei to vote for Liu Xun."

"What if Sun Ce is really dead? What does Long Sima want?" Liu Ye looked at Long Xiang warily.

Long Xiang said with a smile: "Haha, all you need is a promise from the sir."

"What promise?" Liu Ye frowned.

Long Xiang glanced at Lu Su first, then turned around and looked outside the door, with his back to the two of them: "I hope that my husband will be worthy of his ancestors and not go to Xudu to seek refuge with Cao Cao."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Su didn't even think about it, not to mention that Liu Ye was confused, so he hurriedly asked, "Yun Qi? How do you say this?"

Long Xiang turned around and explained: "Although the Son of Heaven is in Xu, all the government orders come from the Sikong Mansion. How is Cao Cao different from a thief who steals the country? How can he not be loyal to him even if he has gone to Xu? Liu's descendants have served the Han bandits, are they worthy of their ancestors?"

"Ah this."

Lu Su was startled when he heard that, and thought that Long Xiang could really contact him.

After Liu Ye heard this, he remained silent, because at this time there were many officials in Xudu and clansmen of the Han family. According to what Long Xiang just said, they were all sorry for their ancestors?

Seeing Liu Ye bowed his head in thought, Long Xiang continued to add: "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't gamble with me, you can vote for Cao Cao in the future, but after all, you have the identity of the clan of the Han family, the more capable you are, the more you will be feared by Cao Cao, why bother to compromise How about? Why don't you take a gamble with me?"

Liu Ye was noncommittal: "Is this the general's reply to Governor Liu?"

"It's okay to understand it this way. I don't have a good impression of Liu Xun, but Mr. Zijing is a good friend, so I love my house."

Looking at Liu Ye, Long Xiang smiled knowingly, and said to himself that you would be guarded anyway when you got to Cao Ying, and he just happened to get rid of a counselor for Cao Cao.

As long as Liu Ye doesn't go to Xudu with Liu Xun, he should look down on Sun Ce and go to Jingzhou to vote for Liu Biao, which will also be in Liu Bei's pocket in the future.
