Han Xiang

Chapter 217
"General Zhang"

"Young Master came to look for Yun Qi? He took off his armor and went to the Master's Mansion, and he just went out."

"Isn't the battle over? Why are you so busy, brother?"

Qiao Ni was a little surprised, took two steps forward while speaking, and looked into Longxiang's room, but there was no one there.

"Yun Qi didn't say anything, and I don't know, you can come back later."

"okay."

Qiao Niu glanced at Lei Xu without further questioning, bowed his hands and turned to leave.

He came to the vestibule to spy on the Chen family, but he could only leave angrily if he didn't see Long Xiang.

The Chen family has regarded Long Xiang as a son-in-law riding a dragon, and he didn't feel much when defending the city before. This time Long Xiang led the crowd to go out to fight, and the two daughters were worried. The way they didn't think about food and drink these two days was very similar to her worrying in the past. bridge rui.

Where there is war, there will be risks, and it is inevitable to suffer some sword injuries. Chen understands the thoughts of the two daughters, so she sent the bridgeman out as soon as she heard the movement in the vestibule.

Qiao Ni didn't ask Lei Xu when he saw Lei Xu, and Zhang Fei didn't introduce Lei Xu because he was afraid of embarrassment. Instead, after Qiao Ni left, Lei Xu took the initiative to ask Zhang Fei:
"General Zhang, was that General Long's brother just now?"

"Well, it's my brother-in-law."

"Wife brother? Isn't General Long missing?"

"Get married at the end of the year, you are lucky, you can catch up with the wedding wine."

After Zhang Fei finished speaking with a smile, he suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "You are Yuan Shu's general, don't you know Qiao Rui's son?"

"General Qiao is one of Yuan Shu's four generals. I can only be regarded as a small general and a junior. How could I have met his family?"

Lei Xu smiled wryly and shook his head in response.

"Four generals? Do you mean Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Ji Ling, and Lu Mian?"

Zhang Fei pursed his lips, and added: "It seems that martial arts and soldiers are not very good."

"Compared with General Zhang, there is indeed a difference, but they are not bad in Huainan."

Lei Xu was captured alive by Zhang Fei in two rounds. At this time, he worshiped the "ring-eyed thief" in front of him as a god, and said in his heart that apart from General Guan, no one else could catch his eyes, but Yuan Shu did become emperor by relying on the four generals Founding of the country.

As for Sun Jian, the Jiangdong tiger?That was Yuan Shu's vassal.

"Huainan?"

Zhang Fei questioned again, and said meaningfully: "I don't think they can be ranked in Huainan. Do you know that Long Yunqi sent Yuan Shu's family to Jiangdong two months ago?"

Seeing Lei Xu shaking his head in confusion, Zhang Fei smiled and explained:

"The courtier who followed Yuan Yao to Jiangdong was Yuan Shu's general Lu Mian. If Lu Mian was really a general, Yun Qi would not have given him to Sun Quan. Yuan Shu left hundreds of civil and military personnel, and none of them left in Hefei. Jiangdong, it can be seen that there are mobs under Yuan Shu's command, so it's no wonder that things can't be done."

"Uh yes yes yes."

Although Lei Xu felt offended, he was speechless when he said it from Zhang Fei. He said in his heart that Long Xiang had a strong general, Xu Chu, and Mr. Zhang to help him, so it was normal to look down on Lu Mian.

Seeing Lei Xu's embarrassed expression, Zhang Fei's heart skipped a beat.

Broken, my mouth.
Yun Qi asked me to make friends with Lei Xu, why is he talking so loudly?

"Ahem, what I mean is that the people who go to Jiangdong are all mobs."

Halfway through Zhang Fei's explanation, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he added: "Long Yunqi and you were both generals of Yuan Shu's army. He didn't like the hundreds of people around Yuan Yao, but he only left you in Hefei. You Don't you find it strange?"

"General Zhang said"

Seeing that Lei Xu was bluffed by his own words, Zhang Fei didn't think of a good one, so he pretended to be mysterious: "Think about it yourself."

Lei Xu scratched his head and wondered, does General Long think that I am stronger than Lu?
He was not valued by Yuan Shu because of his poor background. At this moment, he suddenly felt a pleasure of being recognized.

"Thank you, General Zhang, for your reminder. The last general will be devastated from now on, thanks to General Long's kindness."

Lei Xu solemnly clasped his fists at Zhang Fei, exuding the heroic aura of a soldier who died for his confidant.

"okay."

Zhang Fei was prevaricating, but he didn't expect Lei Xu's reaction to be so strong. He nodded affirmatively to Lei Xu on the surface, wondering what he said just now?
In fact, Long Xiang surrendered Lei Xu, but did not leave Yuan Shu's family members and survivors behind. It was not as simple as Zhang Fei guessed. He mainly had economic and political considerations.

The surrendered Lei Xu trilogy, including the family members who are about to move, is an urgently needed labor force for Hefei; these people can create value in Hefei, Lei Xu himself is also from the head of Guizhou, and Long Xiang does not need to think too much about using it.

On the other hand, Yuan Shu's orphans are not the same. They are all idlers who are "eating and waiting to die" and cannot produce any value to Hefei; Yuan Yao's accompanying civil and military officials have formed a solid network of relationships. Time can make Longxiang bigger and stronger, but in the long run, hidden dangers will be planted.

The people mentioned by the princes and scholar-bureaucrats are not the people in the real sense, but the tyrants like Li Dian and Li Tong, and the big families like the Chen family in Xuzhou; The princes provide soldiers, horses, money and food, and support the princes to fight for the balance of the world. The princes must return the corresponding rights so that the investors can stabilize or expand the interests of the ethnic group.

Long Xiang chose Hefei, a deserted city, to secretly develop self-sufficiency, because he wanted to get rid of the constraints of powerful and noble families, and didn't want to be consumed by long-term internal fighting like Sun Quan and Yuan Shao. Therefore, the people in Hefei are the people in the true sense.

After half an hour, Long Xiang returned from the master's mansion.

Striding to the center of the courtyard, I suddenly saw Zhang Fei and Lei Xu sitting side by side on the steps outside the bedroom, and they seemed to be talking about something.

Long Xiang's forehead darkened, and he thought to himself, Third Master, don't talk about everything, that Lei Xu has just returned, so he can't just confess and talk nonsense.

"We're talking."

"Yunqi is back?"

"General Dragon."

Long Xiang went out for half an hour, not knowing that Lei Xu had become his loyal loyalist, he was interrupting their chat, telling Lei Xu to go back to the room to rest first, and then beckoned Zhang Fei aside.

Zhang Fei mistakenly thought that there was some military situation, so he asked anxiously: "Is there something wrong with Junqiu? I am not tired from fighting just now, do you need my help?"

"There is no serious problem with the material, but"

Long Xiang glanced at Lei Xu's room, and whispered: "Lei Xu has just surrendered, and Yide must be close to each other. You should know what to say and what not to say."

Zhang Fei said sternly: "Don't worry, Yun Qi, you reminded me when you first came to Hefei, I won't reveal your relationship with elder brother, I didn't even tell Mr Zi Yang, let alone him"

"Then you just now"

"I've been listening to him just now. You left Yuan Shu, but you have different experiences in Huainan. I just want to know more about it."

Long Xiang's heart felt like a boulder fell to the ground instantly, and then he offered Zhang Fei: "To get closer to strangers, it's best to talk about things they are familiar with, such as the customs and customs of their hometown, food, etc. The entry point you find is also very good. , it seems that you and Lei Xu get along well, and it is very helpful for stabilizing the six thousand captives."

"Yun Qi, you are worrying too much, Lei Xu's trilogy will never cause trouble."

"Why are you so sure?"

Zhang Fei smiled mysteriously: "After my persuasion just now, Lei Xu is willing to lay waste to you."
