Chapter 094: Han Hao pleaded guilty
"That's not going to work."
Tang Yu raised his eyebrows and glared, and shouted: "Leader Xu is so righteous, don't I know how to be polite?" Although there is no wine in Hefei now, a full meal must be available. β
Long Xiang reminded: "Recently, the rice was harvested outside the city, and many people caught pheasants in the fields. β
"It's still Yunqi thoughtful, Xu Zhuangshi, I'll take you to go shopping."
"You don't have to..."
Tang Yu couldn't help but say, pulling Xu Wei to leave.
Xu Wen wanted to refuse, but he couldn't stop Tang Yu's enthusiasm, so he could only respond half-pushing.
At the end of a small episode, Long Xiang's mood suddenly improved.
Looking at the back that was slowly moving away, Lu Su looked curious:
"This person is just an ordinary person, why is Yunqi so polite?"
Long Xiang replied: "Xu Wei is a little younger and thinner, but the Xu Village behind him is not ordinary, thousands of young people in the village have martial arts, if they turn to the army, they will be a strong force." β
"Since Xu Cun rejected Cao Cao, and Yunqi has a deep friendship with his leader, why not say that he came to Hefei to plan for great things?"
Lu Su's heart became lively, if thousands of strong martial arts villagers joined, he would even save recruit training, where did he need to recruit soldiers?
Long Xiang shook his head slightly, "I mentioned it in Qian County at the beginning, but it is not trivial to leave my hometown, we and Cao Cao's strength is like mud, how can we let our friends 'Pearl Secret Investment'?" β
"Then you're still doing this to Xu Wei..."
"Although there is little hope, it is not nothing, people always have dreams, let's go to dinner together at night? Uncle Zhong's rice is fragrant. β
"Haha, Yunqi is not married, and it is really childlike, I am just about to talk to General Feng, and I will go to disturb it together later..."
Long Xiang saw Lu Su making fun of himself, and wanted to make fun of the other party about marriage, but he asked an inappropriate question.
"Zijing is eight years older than me, so he should marry a wife, right? Do you have children? β
"The family arranged early, and I got married at the age of sixteen, but unfortunately I haven't come out yet."
Lu Su replied neither salty nor light, but a trace of helplessness flashed between his eyebrows.
Long Xiang suddenly remembered Tang Yu's sentence 'marry a wife and marry a virtuous', and said in his heart that Lu Su's wife is not ugly?
Because there is too little cultivation and fertilization, it does not blossom and bear fruit?
Long Xiang accidentally asked about the taboo, but it was not good to change the topic immediately, so he could only add with a smile: "That sister-in-law is now..."
"She serves her mother at home in Dongcheng, forget it, let's not talk about those trivial things..."
Seeing that Lu Su took the initiative to terminate the topic, Long Xiang did not continue, and said in his heart that if Zijing really had this kind of suffering, he could find a way to take him a concubine in the future.
Xu Wei stayed in Hefei for three days, accompanied by Tang Yu and Cao Xing in turn.
Although there was no gold or silver gift when he left, he brought a lot of dry food and fruits, and he was deeply impressed by Long Xiang's enthusiasm.
Xu Wei came to Hefei this time, not only because Xu Ding was worried about Longxiang, but also because he came with a task.
At that time, Xu Chu took the township Yong to help the county and repelled the thieves who caused trouble in the county.
But when Cao Cao's people went to Xu Village to recruit, they were firmly rejected by Xu Ding.
Xu Chu inquired about the reason, and only then did he know about taking in Long Xiang and killing Cao Jun.
Xu Chu was worried that the leakage of the news in the future would make Xu Village face a catastrophe, so he conspired with Xu Ding to seek a way out, after all, using the power of Xu Village to fight against Cao Cao is undoubtedly a fool's dream, and Longxiang's Hefei is also in the range of alternatives.
Words are unfounded, but seeing is believing.
How is Hefei, someone needs to see it to know, Xu Wei is the eye sent.
Xu Wei was in Hefei for three days and saw the harvest of the people outside the city, and also saw the vigorous vitality of Hefei.
The orderly and huge city is more than enough to accommodate thousands of people in Xu Village.
At the end of the investigation of Hefei, Xu Wei went north alone and spent a month returning to Qiaoxian, and soon after he returned to the village, there was a major military operation in the Central Plains.
At the end of August and the beginning of September, Liu Bei, who was stationed in Xiaopei, was defeated by Lu Bu's generals Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, and his family was trapped in the city and ran to Xudu.
At that time, Cao Cao had just won the battle with Zhang Xiu, and the dispute between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan in Hebei had also entered the countdown.
Yuan Cao's two families turned against each other, just in the morning and night.
Cao Cao wanted to use his best state to fight against Yuan Shao, so he followed the advice of the mastermind Xun You and personally commanded the army to conquer LΓΌ Bu to solve Xu Du's worries in one fell swoop.
Several armies marched eastward, heading straight to Pengcheng and Xiapi in Xuzhou.
One of them was led by the protector Han Hao, whose subordinate Yuan Hao's Qu was missing after the Battle of Qi County last year and clashed with Xiahou Yuan's Qu Ministry.
Han Hao's people secretly investigated in Qian County for half a year, and finally found that Xu Village, which is at the junction of Qian County and Zhen County, was suspicious, so they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Eastern Expedition to solve this mystery by the way.
The three thousand townships of Xu Village practiced martial arts one by one, and in the face of Han Hao's army, the two sides broke out in a fierce battle in the open space outside the village.
After the war, more than half of the 5,000 soldiers under Han Hao's department were killed and wounded, while Xu Cun Xiangyong only lost more than 1,000 people.
The defeat of Xu Village caught Han Hao by surprise, he gathered the remnants of the army and gathered in Juxian County, and he went to Cao Cao overnight to ask for his guilt.
The Xu Chu brothers did not sit still, they took advantage of Han Hao's absence in Juxian County to preside over the overall situation, and decisively chose to flee with the villagers collectively.
There were seven or eight alternative places at first, but only Hefei, where Xu Wei went, was the most attractive, so Xu Ding and Xu Chu finally chose to take refuge in Longxiang.
At this time, Cao Cao spent the night in Taiqiu County to rest, he slept until dawn and just opened his eyes, and was about to start after breakfast, but the guards entered the account to inform Han Hao to ask to see him.
Cao Cao yawned and sat up, pinched the bridge of his nose and forced himself to become sober, and said in his heart that Han Hao's department should be in the south, and when he ran to Taiqiu at this time, could it be that there was something important?
After a while, Han Hao entered the main tent in embarrassment, and bowed down to Cao Cao with his fists in his face.
"My lord, the last will be guilty..."
"Huh?"
Cao Cao was originally sitting on the edge of the bed, but at this time, he sat cross-legged on the bed and asked meaningfully: "Why is Yuan Hei (Han Hao) like this?" Could it be that there is an obstacle in the south? β
"The lord is tolerant, and the last general will lead the troops to Xu Village between Qian County and Zhen County, and suddenly encountered..."
Han Hao honestly reported to Cao Cao the causes and consequences of going to Xu Village, but in describing the battle process, he carried out artistic processing.
Five thousand Cao soldiers and a village were defeated, and no one believed them when they said it.
Han Hao not only exaggerated the number of Xu Cun Xiangyong, but also portrayed the encounter as an ambush battle.
Cao Cao frowned after hearing this, stroked his beard and said: "I have the impression of the village you mentioned, last year, the county order recommended it to Sikong Mansion, saying that the people of the village were martial arts and could be incorporated into an army, but I sent people to conquer but were refused, I didn't expect it to be related to harboring Huainan traitors..."
Han Hao added: "Refusing to be in front of the lord's conquest, gathering crowds to ambush the officers and soldiers in the back, it is clear that he is a thief, and the last general heard that among the fleeing rebels, there is a murderer who seriously injured Henan Yin." β
"This bunch of thieves."
Cao Cao gritted his teeth viciously, and slammed his right hand into a fist on the edge of the bed.
Hiss...
My hands hurt... It's a pain in the head...
