Chapter 047: A Nail for a Rainy Day
Seeing Qiao Ling's nervous expression, Long Xiang knew that he was messed up, thinking that the children of the Qiao family were all underage, if Qiao Rui really died because of this, the family should be very difficult.
Yuan Shu was born in a wealthy family, and since he was a child, he was a flying eagle and a dog, and it was difficult for him to bend down to treat people sincerely, just like a male lion in a group of lions, he only knew that he could give priority to meals every time, and would not think about whether the other lions in the group could eat enough.
The relationship between Yuan Shu and his subordinate Wenwu is a simple master-servant relationship, and most of the resources come from family inheritance, so he can't make any real friends, so that when he attacked Cao Cao to seize Yanzhou, the foreign aid he found was the marginal forces such as Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army and Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu, and he couldn't move the rest of the princes.
Therefore, even if Qiao Rui is a general of Yuan Shu, the family members left behind after the accident will most likely not be treated too favorably, and it will be difficult to restore the glory of the past.
Long Xiang thought of these joints, thinking that the bridge family was kind to him, and comforted him sincerely: "Don't think about it, Childe, Lu Bu and His Majesty turned against each other because of marriage, but they did not form mortal enemies, with the current manpower and material resources in Huainan, Xuzhou is far from being matched, even if Lu Bu wins a small victory, he should accept it when he sees it, I believe that General Qiao can return safely." ”
Qiao Ling nodded, "The analysis is reasonable, my heart is a little settled, Yunqi is really as my father said, very wise..."
"What wisdom do I have? It's just that I have nothing to do and love to think about it..."Long Xiang waved his hand modestly, and reminded Qiao Ling earnestly: "General Qiao's life and death are uncertain now, and the family should be very worried, right?" Childe should stay in the mansion at this time, and Duoduo appeases Mrs. and Miss, you are the only male member of the Qiao family, the pillar of the future pillar..."
"Hmm... The eldest sister said the same thing, and her mother learned that her father had an accident and fell ill in bed due to excessive worry..."Qiao Ling's words were gloomy.
Long Xiang patted Qiao Ling on the shoulder a little arrogantly, and said softly like an elder brother instructing his younger brother: "Then go home quickly, the top priority is to protect your family, don't run around anymore..."
"Got it..."
Qiao Ling has a soft temperament since he was a child, and after listening to Long Xiang's words, he seemed very well-behaved, he said goodbye and turned around in a daze, but just took a few steps and stopped looking back.
Seeing this, Long Xiang hurriedly greeted him, frowning and asking, "Childe, do you still have something?" ”
"I have a request, I don't know if I should say it or not..."Qiao Ling looked up at Long Xiang, her clear eyes flashing and shining.
Long Xiang clenched his fists when he heard this, and replied sonorously: "General Qiao has a great favor to me, as long as the last general can do his best, he will definitely go all out." ”
"Yunqi is so smart, if it's possible, I mean if, can you think of a way to get your father back?"
Qiao Ling said it in a hurry, and she felt very ridiculous, but before going out to find Long Xiang, Qiao Wan had specially instructed, so she asked by the way.
Long Xiang was silent for a moment, and then nodded solemnly: "Childe go back first, I will try to think of a way..."
"Oh... Well..."
Qiao Ling said goodbye and turned around with a surprised face, and said in her heart that the second sister is really like a god, regardless of whether Long Xiang is perfunctory or not, but she really responds seriously.
Qiao Wan is the most clever of the three siblings, and Qiao Ling plans to go back and ask if there is any way to train her brain, and why do you feel that the intelligence gap is getting bigger and bigger?
When Tang Yu sent Qiao Ling down the city tower, Long Xiang beckoned him to his side and asked with a serious face: "The one who was sent to deliver the letter to Xiapi last year was the column commander of Uncle Yu, right?" (The column commander is the chief of five people, which is equivalent to the squad leader of the army and is the most basic manager in the army)
"Well, this person's name is Luo Yicheng, and he has been following me for several years, so he is absolutely credible." Tang Yu replied.
Long Xiao frowned, pinched his chin, and asked again: "From last year to now, it has been more than half a year, and no news has come back?" ”
"No, I guess Han Yin didn't..."Tang Yu's face changed greatly halfway through his words, and he hurriedly added: "I heard that Han Yin was secretly sent to Xu Du's head, Luo Yicheng is afraid that he doesn't know the situation, and he is likely to be stuck in Xiapi City..."
Last year, Luo Yicheng was ordered to send a letter to Xiapi, to return the twenty soldiers and sneak back to the city, secretly collecting information that was unfavorable to Long Xiang, after all, Long Xiang and Han Yin had a deep relationship, and it was easy to be sold by the other party.
The nail of Luo Yicheng was buried in order to take precautions, once Han Yin betrayed himself, Long Xiang could evacuate from Shouchun in time.
Long Xiang looked at Tang Yu and asked tentatively, "Uncle Yu, do you think you can send someone to Xiapi and let Luo Yicheng find a way to rescue General Qiao?" ”
"Let Luo Yicheng rescue General Qiao? Although this person is clever and flexible, there is only one person after all..."Tang Yu replied without confidence.
"It's not enough to be alone, Yuan Shu wanted to plot against Hao Meng before, it was the letter I sent him, this person is the captain of Xiapi City Defense, and Han Yin is also in contact with Chen Gong, if Luo Yicheng is allowed to operate in Xiapi, maybe he can use the power of these two to succeed?"
"I don't know if he can do it..."
"No... If it doesn't work well, I'm afraid of causing death..."Long Xiang himself first denied it, and then pressed his temple with one hand to think about countermeasures.
Tang Yu saw Long Xiang leaning against the city wall with a sad face, so he comforted him softly: "Yunqi, don't be too burdened, although you agree to the request of the little prince, but this matter is not within our ability, it is better to wait for Lu Bu to make conditions, Your Majesty will try to redeem General Qiao." ”
"I'm afraid that Lu Bu's conditions are harsh, and our Majesty is reluctant..."Long Xiang first shook his head and smiled bitterly, according to Tang Yu's instructions: "Whether you save General Qiao or not, Luo Yicheng will also notify him to withdraw, but the two families are still at war, and the road to Xiapi may not be safe, so you go and prepare and wait first." ”
"Yui." Tang Yu clenched his fists and took his life.
On the frontal battlefield in Xuzhou, although Zhang Xun collected his troops while withdrawing, Lu Bu did not give him a chance to counterattack at all, like a wolf chasing a flock of sheep, frantically pursuing and killing, the morale of the Huainan army collapsed again and again, and later there was only one thought left in his mind to run away.
At the beginning of May, Lu Bu traveled hundreds of miles to Zhongli County, Jiujiang County.
There was Huaishui blocking the way in front of him, but the number of boats crossing the river was insufficient, countless soldiers drowned here, and there was not one survivor who finally returned to the south bank, but fortunately Yuan Shu's reinforcements had arrived in Zhongli.
The two Chen soldiers held each other across the river on the shore of the Huaishui River, and Lu Bu was full of victory and spirit, and Han Xian and Yang Feng were in front of the two generals, wondering whether to go all at once.
Chen Jue took the opportunity to step forward and suggested: "In this battle, our army has gained countless burdens, and I see that there are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses on the other side, so why not cut down wood and make boats to continue to cross the river?" Wen Hou can take advantage of the high fighting spirit of the soldiers, and in one fell swoop he can set foot in Huainan and eliminate Yuan Shu, and everyone can make great contributions to the present and leave a good name in history. ”
"Good." Han Xian and Yang Bong nodded at the same time.
Lu Bu listened to it, the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, and when he was about to issue an order, a general in the rear rushed to the horse, and shouted while running: "General, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good..."
