Chapter 155: Labor Heals Sins

Thousands of craftsmen who fled to Hefei from Lujiang have crafted all aspects of production and life.

These people originally served Yuan Shu and other Shouchun magnates, but now they are in Hefei to make the best use of their talents.

Long Xiang, who was born as a project manager, was a little persistent in "technicians", and asked Lu Su to write a letter against Liu Ye, but he did not forget the craftsmen who were stranded in Anhui County.

Cultivating "technicians" by yourself, how can you directly use ready-made comfort? What's more, Long Xiang is only proficient in construction technology, and most of the other fields are blind spots.

When Long Xiang was pondering the telescope, Xu Chu's reminder suddenly came from the side.

"General, someone's coming."

Long Xiang then looked intently, only to see dust flying in the southern field.

Several black dots are moving rapidly in Hefei, and the figure is becoming more and more obvious.

"Is it Sun Ce's scout?"

"I don't know..."

When Lu Su shook his head gently, Liu Ye beside him had to talk.

"I guess it's Sun Ce's envoy, probably wanting to say something about the scene, or to ask for a captive."

Long Xiang asked in a deep voice, "You still want to be taken prisoner after losing the battle? Sun Ce isn't so shameless, right? Really when I'm a good talker?"

Liu Ye spread his hands and said with a smile: "War and diplomacy complement each other, Sun Ce is understandable in doing this, it is best to think of a way to deal with it in advance."

"Actually, it can't be said that Sun Ce is defeated, it's just that we have the advantage of city defense, if the two sides line up in the field, we have almost no chance of winning, since we can't compete with Sun Ce at this time, we will try to leave some leeway in front of the envoy..." Lu Su also added and reminded.

"How do you leave room for it? Send those captives back?"

Long Xiang's face was gloomy, and he said in his heart that although we are not heroes, we can't learn from the weak Song Dynasty, and we have to beg and pay compensation if we win.

The mouth can be soft, but the bones must be hard.

Lu Su accompanied the smiling face and explained: "It's naturally not appropriate to send it directly, we can make conditions to Sun Ce, but the excuse is better to be high-sounding, otherwise it is easy to make enemies..."

"Long Sima can be in the city? Zhang Zhao asked to see him."

While Long Xiang and Lu Su were thinking, Zhang Zhao had rushed to the city and shouted.

"Let General Xu stabilize the other party and see you again when you think of a suitable excuse."

"What Ziyang said is very true."

Seeing that Lu Su and Liu Ye said so, Xu Chu looked at Long Xiang and waited for an answer.

When Long Xiang turned to glance at Lu Su, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and he smiled.

"No, I've figured out how to deal with it."

With that, walk to the edge of the city wall.

"What are you doing here? It's not safe for you to stand in that position..."

"Heh... Long Sima joked, I am on the orders of the lord, and I have come to Hefei to make peace..."

Although Zhang Zhao didn't say it, his body was very honest, and when he saw Xu Chu beside Long Xiang, he silently moved back, for fear of becoming the next Han Dang, and he also asked himself if he was not as good as Han Dang's physique.

Seeing this, Long Xiang nodded slightly: "Since I was ordered to negotiate peace, then I will order someone to open the city gate and go to the city..."

Zhang Zhao was worried about being trapped in Hefei, so he hurriedly interrupted without waiting for Long Xiang to finish speaking.

"Long Sima, forgive me, Zhao still has to rush to board the ship, why don't you just say it here?"

"Here? Sir looks up and works hard, and I will see you when I go down."

Long Xiang turned around and patted Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, come with me out of the city."

"Yui."

"I'll go with me."

Lu Su was worried that Long Xiang had no negotiation experience and would suffer a loss in Zhang Zhao's hands, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to go out of the city with him, and Liu Ye immediately gave him a positive look.

In a few years, Long Xiang and Xu Chu, Lu Su and the two guards went out of the city, and like Zhang Zhao's mission, there were only five people on the Hefei side.

Among the five people in Long Xiang's company, Lu Su's martial arts are the lowest, but with Xu Chu, the killing god, even if Zhang Zhao suddenly has bad intentions, he will be killed and turned over.

"Long Sima is full of sincerity, Zhao will definitely relay the lord..."

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Zibu, I'll go down to the city to meet my father

, it's completely for the sake of Mr. Sun's face, and it has nothing to do with your lord Sun Ce."

Zhang Zhao saw that Long Xiang was polite, and wanted to take the opportunity to ease the embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, Long Xiang came to "harm" himself when he opened his mouth, and the guards beside Zhang Zhao were not deaf.

"Ahem, I'm going to say that this is a misunderstanding, I wonder if Long Sima believes it?"

"Misunderstanding?"

Long Xiang looked at Lu Su with a shocked face, and said in his heart that the Jiangdong rats were too shameless.

After a few days, I dare to say that I misunderstood, what are those corpses lying at the base of the wall?

"Zibu Xiuti misunderstood, can you fight for six or seven days if you misunderstand? If you want to make peace, be sincere, and don't talk about those illusory things." Lu Su will launch a language offensive.

The implication is that Zhang Zhao doesn't have to go around the bend and directly state the purpose, so that Long Xiang can easily put forward the conditions.

Zhang Zhao could naturally understand the sound outside the strings, and he smiled at Lu Su.

"Haha, I don't want Zijing to be honest, but I'm very anxious, I said that there must be a basis for misunderstanding, the lord was actually instigated by the villain, otherwise the two families would not have this military disaster."

"Instigated by a villain? Who?"

Lu Su frowned and was puzzled, but Long Xiang seemed to have an understanding.

Zhang Zhao explained: "It was Liu Xun's wife's brother Cai Ji who slandered him, saying that the two daughters of the Qiao family were beautiful and fragrant, and Hefei had obtained a lot of grain and rice from Zheng Bao, and my father-in-law didn't notice it for a while... Alas... I regret it now..."

"If you don't notice and regret it, I'm afraid not..."

"Long Sima rest assured, a female cadre like Cai Ji will only harm people if she stays in the world, this person has now been escorted to Jiangdong, and we will send the head to apologize when we turn around."

Long Xiang sneered secretly when he heard this, and said in his heart that which clever way did he think of it?

Using Cai Ji's head to break the siege, this trick seems to be often used in the Three Kingdoms era.

"Hehe, General Sun has a heart..."

Long Xiang finished speaking lightly, and then added: "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, it can be regarded as not knowing Sun Bofu, and the two families will live in harmony in the future."

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he was overjoyed and praised: "Long Sima understands the righteousness, this is the blessing of the people of Hefei, and it is even more witty if you don't know each other, witty words..."

"Since the two families have said that they will open, I will not leave more Zibu, Lan Zhou urges, you hurry back to board the ship, don't miss the hour."

Long Xiang wanted to capture the old man and pointed behind Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao has a mission, how can he go back like this?

He smiled awkwardly and replied cautiously: "I can't delay, since the misunderstanding has been solved, the Jiangdong people trapped in Hefei..."

"Zibu is more clear."

Seeing that the other party wanted to speak and stopped, Long Xiang continued to pretend to be confused.

Zhang Zhao had to confess: "A few days ago, Long Sima released the captives... Can you let the rest of the people out of the city and let me bring them back?"

"That's not going to work..."

Long Xiang shook his head with a serious face and explained: "General Sun listened to slanderous rumors to seize Hefei, although it is immoral to bully more and less, but it is better to take it with real knives and real guns, and Deng Dang's villain behavior is disgraceful, they instigated rebellion and destroyed houses in Hefei, and they must stay behind to work to make up for their sins..."

"Huh? I don't know how long it will take?"

"It depends on the performance of labor, as short as three or five years, and as many as ten years..."

Zhang Zhao's mind darkened after hearing this, and he said in his heart that you just said that you can't pay it back, and what kind of labor performance are you doing, you are obviously talking about conditions for me.

Zhang Zhao followed up and asked, "It's been too long, can this matter be discussed?"

"Discuss? It's not that you can't..."

Zhang Zhao was waiting to hear the answer, when Long Xiang suddenly changed his words and asked, "Isn't it Zhou Lang's plan to send a fine work into Hefei to do internal response?"
