Han Xiang

Chapter 225 I'm in Cao Ying and my heart is in Liu

In Long Xiang's original world, all walks of life were full of routines, and various deceptions emerged endlessly, so he was always vigilant.

Communication in ancient society was based on shouting, and it was still in the war-torn Three Kingdoms. It was generally difficult to be discovered by pretending to be an envoy of the imperial court to cheat food and drink.

Just like Tong Zhi from Danyang used a fake edict to go to Luling to act as the prefect, but the real prefect Hua Xin couldn't do anything about him.

After all, the imperial court can no longer control the fact that the heroes are divided and the princes are blocking the way.

Qin Yi's identity is easy to confirm. Lu Su had met him in Huainan before, so he didn't arrange to move bricks or kiln.

Long Xiang then rushed to the post house, received the imperial edict, received the official seal, and officially became a military officer on the imperial court.

Regardless of the low rank of Lieutenant Huaixin in the army, Long Xiang's official position is more respectable than Qiao Rui's General, and the direct appointment by the imperial court has different gold content.

The titles given by many princes to the generals are only school lieutenants and generals in name, and the titles may not necessarily reach the Shangshutai, and they may not be canonized when they arrive, so they are not registered in the Han court roster.

At this moment, Long Xiang became the third general in Liu Bei's camp to have a formal military position in the Han court, namely the left general Liu Bei, the partial general Guan Yu, and his own captain Huaixin.

Afterwards, Long Xiang followed Lu Su's suggestion and hosted a banquet for Qin Yi at the Sima Mansion of the Army, and asked Tang Yu, Xu Ding, and Qiao Ni to accompany him.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Qin Yi suddenly felt like he was in tears.

Seeing this, Long Xiang said: "Why is General Qin doing this? Could it be that the food is not to your liking?"

"No, I passed by Hefei a few years ago. At that time, the place was overgrown with weeds. How could there be any vitality? Now Shouchun has become the old Hefei, and Hefei has become the Shouchun of a few years ago. It is really exciting. This is all due to the general." Qin Yi shook his head lightly.

Long Xiang replied modestly: "It's not my work alone, but the people in the city are of the same mind."

"The general is really humble."

Qin Yi smiled slightly, and suddenly asked: "By the way, I was in the west of the city at noon and saw many people building high walls. I don't know why."

The construction outside the city was already in full swing. Knowing that Qin Yi would ask, Long Xiang took out the answer he had prepared in advance and said with a smile:

"In the past two years, there have been wars and droughts in Huainan, and too many refugees have come to Hefei. It is not suitable to resettle them all in the city. I am thinking of building a simple small town so that it has a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

"So that's the case, but Shou."

Qin Yi wanted to say that Shouchun City is empty, and there is no need to build a new city in Hefei, but suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, because he wanted to encourage Long Xiang to go north, so he changed his praise:
"General Long is dedicated to the people, which is admirable"

"General Qin's reputation is too high. I'm trying to drive ducks to the shelves. I have to do it. The general has worked hard all the way. Use more food and wine."

"Well, I will."

Qin Yi was not as polite as Long Xiang. He was cold and hungry when he traveled long distances in winter, so he had a comfortable meal in Hefei, and the rest of the time he was just barely eating.

Everyone toasted frequently, making the atmosphere in the hall full.

Tang Yu and Xu Ding, as the main wine companions, never stopped Qin Yi's mouth.

Qin Yi gradually became overwhelmed, and wanted to find a reason to interrupt the rest. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the young man in the last seat, who only raised his glass when they drank together at the beginning, and did not take the initiative to propose a toast to himself.

He interrupted Tang Yu's enthusiasm, pointed to the bridge and asked Long Xiang and Lu Su curiously: "The two generals Tang and Xu are the commanders of the battalion, but I think this little brother has a fair and jerky face. Could it be the chief secretary?" The scribes of the government?"

Mrs. Chen is eager to become a talented person, and Long Xiang also has the heart to train this brother-in-law. He started from drawing pictures in Hefei New City, and taught civil engineering from simple to difficult. The city wall project of the new city is relatively simple.

Qiao Yi is young and has a strong acceptance, and he can get started after a few days of hard work. Now if Longxiang is not on the construction site, Qiao Yi will serve as his site B corner, giving technical guidance on mortar mix ratio, city wall foundation depth and width, shrinkage joint treatment, etc. , Just like a technician participating in an internship.

In addition to the technical part, Long Xiang also teaches construction management, and even brings him to meetings and dinner parties. The reason why Qiao Ling is here today is because entertaining guests is also part of the learning content.

Facing Qin Yi's question, Long Xiang suddenly replied, "This is my younger brother, Qiao Ni, who is 14 years old and has not yet expressed his name."

"Qiao? Your surname is not Long"

"It's not my own brother, but my wife's brother. This is the son of General Qiaoruiqiao. General Qin once served in Huainan. You should have heard of it?"

"It turned out to be Mr. Qiao, who has grown so big. I mentioned General Qiao before. I heard that General Qiao has two daughters. I wonder which one General Long married?"

"I'm ashamed to say it. Because I was favored by the two young ladies, I married the two of them together. It's just that we haven't finished the marriage yet, and we'll have to wait until the end of next month."

"Uh"

Qin Yi was startled when he heard this, and immediately nodded in praise: "As the saying goes, those who are capable work hard. It is normal for a hero like General Long to be favored by the two ladies. A hero deserves a beauty."

"General Qin praises it, please drink this cup to the brim."

"Mr. Qiao, let's toast together. I'm also your father's colleague. It's a great blessing to see you become a talent."

"Respect General Qin."

Qin Yi actually knew the relationship between Long Xiang and the Qiao family. He used Qiao Niang to bring the topic to the two young ladies of the Qiao family. In fact, it was Cao Cao’s order before he came to inquire about the marriage of the second bridge, but the result made Qin Yi feel that Accident.

The beautiful reputation of Erqiao suddenly spread among the young princes in Xudu, and even Cao Cao's son Cao Zhi wrote poems praising him.

Qin Yi mistakenly thought that Cao Cao was going to take concubines for his nephew, but he didn't expect that Long Xiang would take both of them, and he just didn't know if he could keep them.

After a while of pushing and changing glasses, Long Xiang saw that Qin Yi was a little drunk and blurred, so he signaled Lu Su to move with his eyes.

Lu Su understood, walked up to Qin Yi with a cup, and asked curiously: "General Qin is near Xudu, so he should know the situation of Yuan Cao's battle. A few days ago, I heard that Guan Yunchang beheaded Yan Liang on the white horse, and even rushed into the Wanjun Killing the main general in the midst of it, is it true or not?"

"Of course it's true."

Qin Yi nodded sharply: "General Guan is really a god-man, and he is indeed worthy of being the enemy of ten thousand people. The court conferred the title of Marquis of Hanshouting on his merits, and he is a role model for our generation."

"Wanjun take the head? I don't really believe it."

Tang Xi, who was below, shrugged, pointed at Long Xiang and muttered: "My general once retreated Zhang Fei alone, and this person is also known as the enemy of ten thousand people. If General Guan can really take the head of ten thousand troops, could it be that my general can do it too?" ?”

"This"

Qin Yi swallowed hard when he heard this, and got up and clasped his fists to compliment Long Xiang: "General Long's martial arts skills are so high? I'm sorry, I'm rude."

"Don't listen to Uncle Xi's nonsense, I was just lucky at that time, and I never dared to stand shoulder to shoulder with General Guan."

Invisible pretense is the deadliest, the more modest Long Xiang behaved, the more suspicious Qin Yi felt, and his eyes became more awed.

Seeing that the topic was brought up, Lu Su quickly followed Long Xiang's words and continued:

"Cao Sikong won General Guan, who can be his opponent? Could it be that Guandu also won because of General Guan?"

"Sir, you are joking. General Guan returned to Xudu before the Guandu battle. He didn't participate in the Guandu battle at all. How can he make meritorious service?" Qin Yi shook his head.

Lu Su pretended to be surprised: "Such a talent, Cao Sikong didn't use it?"

"Hey, everyone has their own ambitions. General Guan is in Cao Ying, but his heart is with Liu Bei. He left Xudu a few months ago."
