The youngest daughter in the back house relieved her difficulties, and the husband in the front court worked for the family and the country.

Long Xiang sat in the main seat facing south, Lu Su and the governor of the five battalions were divided into left and right, and Hao Meng was the deputy general of the left battalion of the city defense, and the seat was set behind the governor Xu Ding.

Liu Ye was living in Hefei at this time and attended the hearing as a friend of Lu Su.

The little follower Qiao Ling also wanted to observe, but because it involved the marriage of the two daughters of the Qiao family, he was arranged by Long Xiang to avoid outside the palace.

Qiao Ling sat bored on the stone steps outside the hall, so he sat in the courtyard and waited for the result.

During the days when he came to Hefei, Qiao Ling had already adjusted his mentality, and he didn't dare to hold up in front of Long Xiang as the son of the Qiao family.

In the scene in front of the shadow wall just now, Qiao Ling concluded that Long Xiang was his brother-in-law.

Qiao Wei's behavior of sending a lotus bag has explained everything, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of his eldest sister, and now he didn't dare to make a mistake to Long Xiang.

Because of today's special situation, Long Xiang didn't have time to take care of Qiao Ling's emotions, so as soon as he sat down, he instructed Lu Su and Cao Xing to introduce Zhang Zhao's relatives and Sun Ce's army respectively.

After the introduction of the two, the hall was as silent as night for a while.

Even the quick-tempered Tang Yu didn't shout, because he knew that Sun Ce's strength was not ordinary.

Yuan Shu, Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun and others often praise Sun Ce, and in recent years, he has swept Jiangdong with amazing results, which is fundamentally different from Zheng Bao and Liu Xun.

After a cold meeting, Xu Ding clenched his fists and spoke.

"Although Zhang Zhao's words are conclusive, Sun Ce has come with tens of thousands of troops, obviously not only for concubines, but also for peace and war."

"Yes, I also estimate that Sun Ce, like Zheng Bao, first took a concubine and married a wife, but in fact, he was trying to seize Hefei."

Xu Chu looked at Xu Dingding and agreed.

Long Xiang smiled lightly and affirmed: "Bo'an and Zhongkang are right, Sun Ce really came to take a concubine, it doesn't matter if I give some dowry, I'm afraid he still wants Hefei, we finally managed like this, but we are not willing to be directly picked peaches..."

"What else do you say? Like resisting Zheng Bao, let's just guard against Sun Ce, and now there are more defenders in Hefei..."

Tang Yu understood what Long Xiang meant, and immediately stood up to cheer him up.

Long Xiang waved his hand to signal Tang Yu to sit down, frowned and said, "It's necessary to prepare with both hands, but Sun Ce's fame is a bit big, and his strength is several times that of Zheng Bao, so frankly speaking, I don't have a bottom in my heart..."

When Xu Chu heard this, he flashed his fist and said, "Why doesn't the general follow the example of last time? As long as Sun Ce dares to command under the city, I will knock him down with flying stones, and he will be able to retreat from the enemy if he is killed or wounded."

"Not really, okay?"

Feng Zhong suddenly accosted and explained to everyone: "Let's not say that Sun Ce's martial arts are good, if he really dies in Hefei City, won't we have a mortal enmity with the Sun family? In the future, there will be no peace in Hefei."

Tang Yu sat in the middle of the right side, and when he heard Feng Zhong's different opinions, he immediately stood up to support Xu Chu.

"If you make a feud, you will make a feud, who invited them to Hefei? I think Zhong Kang's idea is good, if he can really kill the enemy chief in one battle, Yunqi will take us to Jiangdong and take all the territory that Sun Ce has conquered."

"I'll see it."

Xu Ding echoed Tang Yu, and then turned his gaze to Long Xiang.

Long Xiang looked at each other with Lu Su and Liu Ye at this time, and said in his heart that Xu Chuzhen killed Sun Ce with a flying stone, and the three-year contract would be fulfilled in advance.

Liu Ye's previous inference about Long Xiang is almost the same as Tang Yu's current thoughts, first occupy Huainan and then go down to Jiangdong to compete with Sun Ce, even if he can't compete for the world, there is no problem in separating one side.

Now that Sun Ce has broken the Lujiang River, if he dies unexpectedly under the city of Hefei, Long Xiang is undoubtedly the luckiest fisherman.

Liu Ye was very willing to follow such a male lord, so he was especially looking forward to Long Xiang's answer.

Long Xiang motioned for Tang Yu to sit down again, and said to everyone in a deep voice: "Everyone in the world is willing to learn from Sun Ce's young and promising, sweeping Jiangdong, and heroic, I have also had such a dream, but the gap between the ideal and the reality is very large, Uncle Zhong's worries are not unreasonable, although Zhong Kang's idea of capturing the thief and capturing the king is good, but it is particularly difficult to implement."

"I think you think too much, Yuan Shu was once very prosperous, and when he died, he decayed and withered, and his brothers and children couldn't

If it's done, you can think about it again..."

After Tang Yu finished expressing his opinion, he knelt on the soft seat.

Long Xiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yuan Shu and Sun Ce are not in the same situation, Yuan Yin, Yuan Yao and others are all mediocre in qualifications;

However, Sun Ce's brothers, brothers, uncles and others are quite capable, and even if Sun Ce dies in battle, Jiangdong may not be chaotic;

On the other hand, Hefei has only a few thousand soldiers, less than 100 war horses, and very few boats and ships to transport troops and grain.

"Ahh

When Tang Yu was secretly complacent, he found that he was persuaded by Long Xiang again, and he could only use drinking water to resolve the embarrassment.

Long Xiang continued to add: "Moreover, Yuan Yin and Yuan Yao evacuated Shouchun because of the threat of Cao Cao in the north. When we are ready to cross the river, the Sun family will elect a new leader to avenge Sun Ce..."

"Yunqi don't say it anymore, I'm just a reckless man, I just talked nonsense just now, and I slapped my own mouth..."

After Tang Yu interrupted Long Xiang, he really slapped his mouth twice with his big hand, and his funny actions amused the others in the hall.

Seeing that Cao Xuan was actually covering his mouth, Tang Yu touched him with his elbow and said in a deep voice, "What are you laughing at? We are married in one day, and you don't want to go to Jiangdong to fight, and the Hefei family was plundered by Cao's army, right?"

"Huh?"

Cao Xuan was stunned, and the hall laughed again.

Lu Su knew Long Xiang well and knew that he had no intention of being self-reliant, so he got up and put the topic on the right track.

"Yunqi is far-reaching, it is indeed a long-term plan not to make enemies with Jiangdong, although Sun Ce has 30,000 troops, as long as you go all out, he may not be able to take Hefei."

Long Xiang reminded in a low voice, "Zijing forgot Zhang Zhao's words? Sun Ce broke through Anhui County in two days, and there were more defenders there than Hefei..."

"The number of defenders is not the key to victory or defeat, General Hao and Ziyang are both from Anhui County, Yunqi might as well ask them."

After Lu Su finished speaking, he nodded to Hao Meng, and then turned his head to look at Liu Ye again.

Hao Meng saw Lu Su ordering the general, and hurriedly got up and clenched his fists and replied, "I don't know about the other circumstances, but Cai Ji is lustful and incompetent, and it is not surprising that he can't hold the city, but he lost so quickly, which shows that Sun Ce has something."

Long Xiang nodded and motioned for Hao Meng to sit down, then got up and saluted Liu Ye with a fist, and the pouch on his waist happened to be seen by Lu Su.

"I'm waiting for my superficial words to make Mr. Ziyang laugh, since Zijing recommended him in person, can you give me some advice on this?"

"Long Sima is polite."

Liu Ye hurriedly got up and returned the salute, he didn't move to Hefei for a long time, Long Xiang didn't get as close as a "licking dog" because of the identity gap between the two sides, but just told Lu Su to take care of it.

Long Xiang neither has the barbarism and arrogance of ordinary warlords, nor does he grovel because of the Han clan, his attitude of being imminent and light-hearted, but makes Liu Ye feel inexplicably good.

"What Zijing said is true, I thought that the people of Hefei would be able to block Sun Ce's soldiers, and Long Sima should have confidence."
