Yuan Shu refused to send troops, and Qin Yilu couldn't go back.

Cao Bing besieged Xiapi, and in addition to attacking head-on, he also listened to the advice of the strategists to flood with water.

Lu Bu went to Baimenlou in the south of the city every day to supervise the battle, not the most fierce offensive in the south, but he still had illusions about Yuan Shu.

If Yuan Shu sends troops to the rescue, reinforcements will appear in the south as soon as possible.

Lu Bu waited for ten months to no avail, and the offensive of the Cao army outside the city was unabated, so he personally escorted his daughter, planning to break through the siege to Shouchun to get married, and by the way, he personally asked Yuan Shu for help, and then brought Huainan's reinforcements back to rescue Xiapi.

Lu Bu thought that even if the city was broken, Xiapi's wife and children would be fine, after all, he had captured Liu Bei's wife twice before, and he treated them with courtesy.

Lu Bu naively thought that people could do the same, but he forgot that the opponent outside the city was Cao Thief.

It's a pity that the final breakthrough was beaten back to the city by Cao Jun, so Lu Bu's hypothesis could not be verified.

Cao Cao's soldiers rushed thousands of miles to conquer Xuzhou;

Cao Cao's people migrated thousands of miles to Hefei.

In November of the third year of Jian'an, Xu Ding and Xu Chu took more than 4,000 villagers to wade through mountains and rivers and arrived in Hefei for nearly two months.

Long Xiang was overjoyed when he heard the news, and took Tang Yu and Cao Xing out of the north gate of Hefei to greet him.

The reason why the migration of Xu Village took a long time was because the old and the young walked slowly, and they were not only disturbed by Han Hao north of Huaishui, but also mistaken for Liukou by the Huainan defenders after crossing to the south.

Once close to the city, there were officials and troops out of the city to drive away, and the Xu brothers could only take a detour on a remote path in order to reduce casualties.

When he learned about the difficulties of migration, he said that he would make proper arrangements for the people of Xu Village to ensure that they could live and work in peace and contentment in Hefei.

'Tiger idiot' Xu Chu followed behind the two, his shoulders were big and round, his body was strong, and his body was wider than Zhang Fei.

Although Long Xiang was very happy in his heart, he couldn't be enthusiastic for no reason, so the starting point was still on Xu Ding.

As long as he has a good relationship with Xu Da, Xu Er will naturally be able to do it.

Xu Chu didn't talk much, he followed the two of them and observed secretly.

found that although Long Xiang was young, he showed confidence in every gesture, and guessed that he must be a person with great ambitions.

This Hefei may have come to the right place.

Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped.

In the Han Dynasty, the princes of the world were divided, and the gentry and officials under the rule of the princes recommended each other and married into alliances according to their interests, and the people at the bottom would also huddle together to keep warm, and they mostly formed small groups in villages and townships.

The first batch of people to Hefei are the family members of the comrades who moved from Shouchun from Shouchun, these people not only have the spirit of comrades as a link, but also because they live together in groups, which is the ballast stone of unity and stability in Hefei city.

Although displaced people have joined one after another, and the total number of people has far exceeded that of their colleagues and families in the early stage, because the scale of the cluster is not large enough, it can only be attached to the surrounding scattered groups, and it is difficult to pose a threat to public order and the implementation of government decrees.

And this time, more than 4,000 people moved from Xu Village, and they all looked forward to the Xu family brothers, and they were a group of people with pure identities and easy to manage.

At the same time, the total number of people in Xucun exceeded the first batch of residents, becoming the largest group in Hefei society.

Long Xiang is not worried about this kind of group joining, but feels that the introduction of competition is a good thing, and not letting a specific group stand out too much is of great benefit to the sustainable development of Hefei.

According to Long Xiang's suggestion, Lu Su carried out centralized resettlement of the people of Xu Village in the northeastern region of Hefei, calculated the number of households, and immediately distributed the corresponding rations.

In addition, Long Xiang also exempted the people of Xu Village from the 'inspection period'.

That is, the new people in the city need to be inspected for three months, and adult men and women must be incorporated into the ranks of the people's husbands and assigned to various construction sites in the city for voluntary labor, and the monthly rations are distributed according to the minimum standard.

At the end of the three-month inspection period, the Junsima Mansion (Hefei Hou Mansion) issued an identity number, and then allocated fields according to the number of people in each household, or incorporated into a full-time craftsman team, thus becoming an official Hefei resident.

Xu Wei stayed in Hefei for three days in the summer and was very aware of the inspection period system.

Long Xiang gave the green light to the people of Xu Village at this time, winning the gratitude of the Xu brothers.

After settling the people of Xu Village, Long Xiang immediately gathered generals in the Military Sima Mansion, and he planned to re-divide the defense of Hefei.

There are six seats on the left and right sides of the main hall, the three seats on the right are Lu Su, Feng Zhong and Cao Xing, and the three seats on the left are Tang Yu, Xu Ding and Xu Chu.

Seeing that the six people in the hall were both literate and martial, Long Xiang inexplicably thought of the Water Margin.

At that time, Wang Lun created Liang Cottage, probably the picture in front of him, and there were only a few leaders.

"I want to be in the beginning... Old... Ahem..."

Long Xiang almost sang "Shajiabang" on the top, but fortunately he reacted in time and sighed: "When I first arrived in Hefei last year, Zijing, Bo'an, and Zhongkang were not there, only the four of us were busy, and now it is more and more relaxed..."

"Who would have thought that the former Quhou has now become the lord of Hefei, and he is very well governed." Xu Ding clenched his fists and complimented.

Long Xiang bowed slightly, and responded with a smile: "It is all thanks to the support of the brothers to get to where we are now, and we will have to rely on Bo'an and Zhongkang in the future." ”

"Although Yunqi commands, my two brothers are willing to serve dogs and horses."

Xu Ding and Xu Chu glanced at each other, and at the same time stood up and hugged their fists to show their loyalty.

Xu Ding brought the whole village to vote, and what he liked was Long Xiang's character.

Xu Chu had reservations at first, but after getting along for a few days, he found that Long Xiang was indeed as his brother said, a gentleman who was generous and kind to the people, so he approved of this young man.

Long Xiang motioned for Xu Ding and Xu Chu to sit down, turned his head to the chief bookkeeper Lu Su and asked:

"Zijing, Uncle Zhong built a craftsman camp during this time, Bo'an and Zhongkang brought more than 1,000 villagers to vote, and now the soldiers in Hefei are close to 3,000, if the thief Zheng Bao comes to seize the city at this time, can he stop it?"

Lu Su glanced at the brothers of the Xu family, arched his hand to Long Xiang and replied: "The strong men of Xu Village are all practicing martial arts, and they are indeed a big help to us, and I think there should be no problem guarding Hefei." ”

"That's very good."

Long Xiang had no experience in defending the city, and after listening to Lu Su's answer, he was reassured, and then said to everyone: "Although the current defenders in Hefei are enough, there is a serious shortage of weapons and armor, and it is time to send people out of the city to mine and log, and the workshops for smelting, forging and arrow-making can also be set up slowly..."

"That's what I mean, too." Lu Su nodded in affirmation.

Long Xiang looked at the generals and ordered: "Since there are new soldiers, I will readjust the division of labor, Uncle Yu..."

Feng Zhong's craftsman battalion has 1,000 people, and will continue to expand multi-functional craftsmen according to Hefei's population growth in the future; Tang Yu is still in charge of Hefei's city defense, and Cao Xing is still in charge of external intelligence.

The newly joined Xu Cun Xiangyong was divided into two parts by Long Xiang.

Among them, Xu Ding commanded 200 people to assist Tang Yu in charge of the city defense of Hefei, originally only opened the north and south gates, but also because the defenders became abundant, adjusted to open four gates, which greatly facilitated the people.

Xu Chu commanded the remaining 1,000 people, as an emergency force in Hefei, and they needed to go there.

Since then, Hefei has slowly changed from hidden development to semi-open development.

With the continuous investment of manpower in mining, smelting, forging and other manpower, the conditions for Longxiang cement plant have gradually been met.
