From the beginning of the first time in the Chen State before the battle, Yuan Shu lost the courage to fight for the world.

Later, remnants of the army fled back to Shouchun one after another, and Yuan Shu guessed that the territory north of Huaishui was going to be lost.

At this time, in Shouchun City, there were many small works of external forces, and rumors were flying all over the sky for a while.

As Cao Cao's forces approached Huaishui, Yuan Shu, who stayed in the palace, was frightened all day long, he was worried that Cao Cao was going to cross Huai to fight Shouchun, but he had actually made a plan to move the capital.

The tense atmosphere enveloped Shouchun, and the magnates in the city were uneasy, and they were worried that the rebellious people would take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, so each prefecture recruited its own guards.

When Long Xiang came to Qiaofu, he found that the original two guards at the gate had also increased to eight.

After the guards, Li Tun, the head of the guard of Qiaorui, greeted him.

"Yunqi, haha, I knew you were alive..."

Li Tun walked with the wind, with joy in his tone, and stood on tiptoe when he walked in front of him, as if he was counting.

Long Xiang had never seen Li Tun so enthusiastic, so he asked in surprise:

"What is Guard Li looking at?"

"Twenty people are back, and it's not easy for Yunqi to rise..."

As soon as Li Tun finished his exclamation, he lowered his head and leaned against Long Xiang's ear and whispered:

"Yunqi may not know that there were less than 3,000 people who broke through from Qi County and returned to Shouchun from more than 30,000 of us, and only a few of the camp owners will survive, so there is really not one in ten..."

Long Xiang was noncommittal after hearing this, and Li Tun added with a little pride:

"I also worked hard to bring back more than 200 people..."

"They are..."

Long Xiang pointed to the guard in front of the door and stopped talking.

"This time, there are many generals who have died in battle, and the remnants of the soldiers who fled back under their command are unrestrained, Your Majesty has been troubled and uninterested in the government recently, and no one has reorganized the team, and the ministers and magnates in the city are worried about the life of the ownerless soldiers, so they have privately added guards."

Li Tun finished explaining, and then added earnestly: "I have been the master and servant of General Qiao for many years, although I don't have the ability to protect him thoroughly, I have to do something for his family." ”

"Escort Li has a heart."

Long Xiang nodded slightly in affirmation, and then changed the conversation and asked, "Madame can be in the house?" The last general wants to go in and pay a visit..."

Li Tun patted Long Xiang's shoulder and sighed: "General Qiao has not returned for a long time, it is estimated that he is already very lucky, Madame may not be in the mood to see you, come back in a few days..."

"The general has died, his sword is here, I will hand it back to my wife with my own hands, and ask Escort Li to take me to meet her."

Long Xiang untied his sword and raised it in front of his eyes, with an expression that could not be refused.

Li Tun's eyes widened, he looked at the sword repeatedly, and then exclaimed: "It's really General Qiao's sword, where did Yunqi get it?" ”

"I don't know where it is, but it should be due north of Qi County..."

Long Xiang frowned and made a brief summary of Qiao Rui's situation.

Li Tun was silent after listening to this, and then stared at the saber for a while and asked:

"Can the general leave a last word?"

"Nope..."

Long Xiang shook his head gloomily, and said in his heart that the general entrusted me to take care of my family, and there was no need for me to tell outsiders.

"Several arrow sores festered, the general should have been in pain at the time, and it was normal that he didn't leave a word..."

Li Tun first comforted himself, then grabbed Long Xiang's left hand and said, "Yunqi returned the general's relics, Madame shouldn't be angry, I'll take you into the house." ”

"There is labor."

Li Tun nodded slightly, and then shouted to the person brought by Long Xiang: "There are many female dependents in the house, so you will wait in the door." ”

The twenty people didn't seem to hear it, and everyone's eyes only looked at Long Xiang, which instantly made Li Tun a little unable to get off the stage.

Long Xiang is well versed in the way of the workplace, and he can see Li Tun's careful thinking at a glance.

Li Tun estimated that he was Qiao Rui's confidant, and if he brought back Qiao Rui's two hundred parts, he should become the leader of Long Xiang, and at this time he couldn't help but give orders.

"Stand by now."

"Yui."

After receiving Long Xiang's order, twenty soldiers responded in unison, and the sonorous voice shocked the guards at the gate of the bridge mansion.

Those energetic guys really can't see that they have fled back from the battlefield, but like warriors who have won a battle.

Li Tun frowned and said nothing, turned around and entered the bridge mansion with Long Xiang.

As soon as the two walked past the front yard, Li Tun stopped and stopped walking, and Long Xiang turned around and looked at each other in surprise.

"What's wrong with Escort Li?"

"There is one thing that I don't vomit or be unhappy about, this time our army was defeated by Cao Cao, not only lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but only a few generals fled back.

Your Majesty will definitely reorganize the battalions in the future, you and I are both under the command of General Qiao, at this time, we must advance and retreat together, but don't let outsiders absorb it..."

Long Xiang raised his eyes and asked with a puzzled expression, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Although the general is dead, the son is still here, and the remnants of General Qiao should be inherited by the third son, don't let others take advantage of the situation..."

"Others? No, Your Majesty knows it..."

Seeing that Long Xiang was a little unconcerned, Li Tun reminded with a serious face: "The world is unpredictable, in short, we have to unite ourselves." ”

"I can save it, let's talk about this later, let's go see Madame first."

"It's fine."

Qiao Rui has not returned from the expedition for a long time, Chen and his children have been mentally prepared, and when they saw Qiao Rui's sword, the Qiao family was grief-stricken.

The three sisters and brothers cried loudly, and Chen insisted on keeping his emotions from collapsing, and quickly arranged for his subordinates to decorate the mourning hall.

The funeral materials of Qiaofu have long been prepared, and now it is known that Qiaorui is buried in Qiaoxian County, omitting coffins, shrouds, funeral goods and other things, but Qiaorui has a lot of old things in Shouchun, so setting up a mourning hall for people to mourn is indispensable.

Chen then came to Long Xiang and said earnestly in front of everyone:

"The general sacrificed his life for the country, Ling'er is only eleven years old now, I will have to worry about you and Li Tun in the future, the Qiao family can't be defeated like this, speaking of which Ling'er and Yunqi are still very fateful..."

Long Xiangxin said good guy, it turns out that the source of Li Tun's words is here.

Chen's Counting on the Bridge to Shine on the Lintel? But this kid doesn't look like a general when he's young, don't expect too much, madam.

"Madame Rongyu, the last general is not good at fighting, I am afraid that I will not be able to help the third prince, I have agreed with the surviving soldiers, and after returning the general's relics, I plan to leave Shouchun and find a place to live in seclusion."

Everyone in the hall was stunned after hearing this, and Li Tun's face was even more ugly, and he said in his heart, "You kid also want to run? In vain, I just wasted my tongue.

Qiao Wan suddenly took a step forward, staring at Long Xiang with big watery eyes, and retorted in a coquettish voice:

"You're not good at fighting? I don't think so... His Majesty led 50,000 soldiers to the expedition, and only less than 3,000 people came back in the end, can you take your father to seek medical treatment behind enemy lines, and finally successfully return to Shouchun, you can't do it at all? ”

"Yes, yes, the second sister is right."

Qiao Ling wiped her tears and stood up to echo Qiao Wan.

Long Xiang clenched his fists and shook his head and replied: "Second Miss praises, the last general is just lucky..."

"Yun Qixiu should be humble, the general often praised you for being smart before his death, could it be that you have other plans?"

Li Tun deliberately spoke aggressively, and said in his heart that you kid don't pretend, you have offered advice to the general many times before, when Li Tun doesn't exist?

Long Xiang was very psychological, he pretended to be excited and began to justify: "The last general really plans to live in seclusion, you also know the situation in the army, the brothers are just to eat enough, and now they are hungry to be soldiers, so everyone would rather not be..."
