Han Xiang

Chapter 547 The road to simple painting pie

Seeing that Long Xiang didn't answer, Han Zong mistakenly thought that he was not interested in the little girl, so he added: "In addition to Mrs. Bu, there are also Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Yuan, both of whom are quite charming."

"Stop it." Long Xiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "General Han's good intention, Long has understood it, but it is not a gentleman's behavior to humiliate other people's wives and concubines, and when you first come here, you have to appease people's hearts. You must not harass the female family members in the back house. I will stay in the front hall tonight. "

"Uh Wei."

Han Zong seemed a little disappointed when he failed to flatter him.

At this time, Long Xiang said again: "Besides Sun Quan's wife and concubines, I remember that he also has brothers and sisters. They only need to be controlled at home and cannot be disturbed at will. As the saying goes, a person should leave a line so that we can meet each other in the future. By the way, where is General Hao?"

"General Hao was in a panic just now."

Seeing Han Zong's careful answer, Long Xiang patted him on the shoulder and comforted him softly:

"General Han's achievements are outstanding. I have kept them in mind. However, although we have won Wu County, the rest of the county has not yet been pacified. Sun Quan will return at any time. Now is not the time to share the victory."

Han Zong immediately defended: "General, you are like a god with your troops. Now that all the officials are supporting you, I think Sun Quan will be invincible. It will only be a matter of time before he takes over Jiangdong."

"Real support or false support is yet to be determined. Only by relying on true skills and defeating Sun Quan's returning troops can we truly gain a foothold here. The follow-up will depend on the general's efforts."

After Long Xiang finished speaking, he looked at Han Zong solemnly, and Han Zong solemnly answered with clasped fists:

"General, don't worry, I will be willing to follow the example of dogs and horses."

"Very good. General Han is a hero from Jiangdong. I really saw the right person."

Long Xiang nodded and praised a few words against his will, and then said: "Although Wu County has been taken, I can't stay here for a long time. Zijing and others are still guarding Liyang. I don't know whether your father will lead his troops to attack by force. We must rush back as soon as possible for reinforcements." , can you help me persuade General Han to surrender?"

"Huh? This"

Han Zong lowered his head in embarrassment and murmured: "My father has a strong character, and he is Sun Jian's old subordinate. It is probably difficult for him to betray Sun, the last general."

Long Xiang then laid out the facts and reasoned:

"I know this is difficult, but your father assisted Sun Jian and his son in a bloody battle and narrowly escaped death. At this time, I was only the first to become a captain. I had no title or city. I was born in the army like you. Why did I go through life and death? Why not just for this? Is your family doing better?"

"Forehead"

Han Zong smiled bitterly and sighed: "Actually, my father is not the only one. Except for a few people in the army who have titles and towns, most of the others are in similar situations. After all, Sun Quan's power is not great, and his relationship with the court is not very good."

"That's a bad word."

Long Xiang frowned and shook his head: "It seems that Cheng Pu has the same qualifications as your father. Although he does not have a title, he was a general among the bandits during Sun Ce's time, and now he is the prefect of Jiangxia. Ahem, I am just discussing the matter, not intending to alienate. "

Han Zong responded awkwardly: "That's true, but General Cheng has outstanding military exploits. My father is slightly inferior to him, but his prestige in the military is about the same."

Long Xiang nodded frequently and said earnestly: "The title needs to be rewarded by the emperor. I can't promise anything on this, but I can make the decision on the food. You have done a great job in winning the city for me. If you can help me persuade your father to surrender, Defeat Sun Quan, and after I have completely conquered Jiangdong, I will divide Zhu Zhi's food town equally between you and his son."

"Zhu Zhi's food? How can the father and son of the last general be so virtuous and capable?"

Long Xiang threw this big cake, which made Han Zong choke and feel unreal.

He thought that those were the food towns of four counties, and they were all big and wealthy counties. Han Zong was so excited that his heart was pounding.

Every move he made was watched by Long Xiang, and he thought that simple and crude tricks worked best.

The so-called simplicity is similar to that of later generations who spent money to chase beauties. When a rich man swings his ax with three axes, few women can stop him. "General Han doesn't know. Your Majesty has a high prestige among the Jiangdong Army. If he sets an example and surrenders, it will be a fatal blow to Sun Quan's army. Do you think how many people will leave him?"

"So that's it, I won't have to worry about it."

After listening to Long Xiang's explanation, Han Zong suddenly felt relieved and felt that he was worthy.

Another important point is that Han Zong is Han Dang's legitimate son, that is, Han Dang's food fief will be inherited by Han Zong in the future.

Thinking of this, Han Zong felt a little carried away.

He put himself on Zhu Zhi's behalf, thinking that Long Xiang would be rewarded based on his merits in the future. If he could not protect himself, he would also be the governor of Wu County?
Long Xiang took care of Han Zong and said goodbye to the palace. Han Zong stayed in the courtyard looking at the night sky and having fun until Hao Meng returned from relieving himself and woke him up.

"What are you looking at? Where is my general?"

"Uh nothing."

Han Zong shook his head perfunctorily and sighed with a smile: "General Long looks down on Sun Quan's women, and he also told us not to harass the Sun family's women. He is really ambitious and talented, and Sun Quan can't compete with him." ."

"Haha, not surprised."

Hao Meng thought to herself that Longxiang already had a second bridge, how could Sun Quan's woman compare with it?Then he stroked his beard and said: "According to my general's custom, he should stay in the front hall tonight. General Han must be tired from hard work and should go home early to rest. The general will summon all the officials to meet him tomorrow morning. You should come earlier." Come"

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of General Hao more often."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

The two of them parted ways after being polite. Han Zong turned his head and glanced at Hao Meng's back. The smile on his face turned into a sarcastic one. He said to himself, "You followed Lu Bu first and then Yuan Shu. You didn't have any great achievements. No wonder you didn't do it in Long Dynasty." Xiang is the best around.

But I, Han Zong, are different. I will soon own four counties of food, which is comparable to Zhu Zhi's existence.

Thinking of good things in my heart, my steps home became brisk, and I couldn't feel the coldness of winter nights.

There are currently six armies in Hefei. The reason why Hao Meng, Qin Yilu, Cao Xing and others did not become the chief generals of the first army was due to various considerations such as personal ability issues and practical reasons.

Feng Zhong and Tang Wei were Long Xiang's absolute confidants, Xu Chu and Xu Ding had the young talents of Xu Village as their foundation, while Lei Xu and Chen Lan led their troops and people to defect.

In order to save food, Long Xiang did not nourish the army too much, so Hao Meng could not be a general for the time being.

Even so, Long Xiang treated Hao Meng, Qin Yilu, Cao Xing and others well. His treatment was almost the same as that of Feng Zhong and Tang Yu, and there was almost no closeness or distance.

In addition, the political atmosphere in Hefei is very good. There are no intrigues or cliques. There is no need to flatter like under Lu Bu and Yuan Shu. Hao Meng has been quite comfortable here these years.

As soon as he entered the palace, Long Xiang waved to him warmly.

"Is everything okay in the back house just now? Did Han Zong do anything beyond the rules?"

"Although this man acted boldly, he was still able to figure out what was light and what was serious. At first, the female relatives were very panicked. Fortunately, Mrs. Yuan knew the general and she came to comfort him and everything was fine."

When Hao Meng mentioned Mrs. Yuan, Long Xiang remembered that in Hefei, someone suggested that he marry this woman to inherit Yuan Shu's political legacy.

Unexpectedly, just a few years ago, Yuan Shu's daughter fell into his hands again. He thought that it was indeed a daughter of a famous family who could be so calm when encountering big events.
