When Guan Yu left the camp and returned to Xudu, Liu Bei was actually on the battlefield of the Yellow River, and Yuan's Shao lord was riding Wen Chou to lead the troops.

At the beginning of the year, Liu Bei went out of the city to reconnoiter in Xiaopei, but unfortunately encountered Cao Ren and Cao Chun being scattered, and then transferred from Qingzhou to Hebei.

Yuan Shao may have considered Corporal Lixian, or he may have blamed himself for sending troops too late, so he personally went out of Yecheng two hundred miles to meet Liu Bei.

And the "edict of clothes and belts" brought by Liu Bei was an excuse for Yuan Shao to send troops that Yuan Shao urgently needed.

The "edict of clothes and belts" was used to block the mouths of Fu Zhi, Tian Feng and others, and to speed up the gathering of troops, money and food, and there were remarkable results of crossing the river one after another.

Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou in the first month, and Yuan Shao divided his troops into two ways to attack Baima and Yanjin in February.

The purpose of sending troops a month apart was to make Liu Bei stumble Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao didn't expect Liu Bei to lose so quickly, and he couldn't help himself delay time at all, but Liu Bei was not defeated by Cao Cao quickly, and the "Cloth Belt Edict" would not be sent to Hebei, which saved Yuan Shao's war integration time in disguise.

Shortly after the Battle of the White Horse, Liu Bei and Wen Chou experienced the Battle of Yanjin, Wen Chou was unfortunately killed in the melee, and Yuan Shao's side suffered another setback.

Although Cao Cao won two games in a row, he knew that the flow of the Yellow River in this section was moderate and there were many places that could rush to land, so he decisively gave up the line of Yanjin and Baima and withdrew the main force to the Guandu fortification.

Yuan Shao led the army to march into the camp, dozens of miles from the east and west, confronted Cao Cao according to the sand pile, and secretly sent Liu Bei to Runan, and the Yellow Turban who had rebelled before started an incident and threatened Cao Cao's rear.

Later, Guan Yu hung the seal to find Liu Bei, and the two brothers finally met in Runan.

The third brother Zhang Fei escaped from Xiaopei, and wandered in Liangguo, Yuzhou and other places for several months with dozens of horsemen, and then went to Huainan under the guidance of Luo Yicheng and Xu Wei.

In spring and March, Hefei was busy inside and outside.

Newly cultivated fertile land outside the city is being sown in the spring, and a political project in the city is nearing completion.

Long Xiang in the central south of Hefei, so that the craftsman camp built a nine-story square platform, and the center of the platform erected a two-zhang high heroic monument, which was used to commemorate the comrades who died in the defense of Hefei, and to commemorate the relatives and friends buried in other places.

On the day of the completion of the Heroes Monument, Long Xiang took Hefei Wenwu to the scene in person, took the stage to read the eulogy written by Lu Su, and then the soldiers of each battalion were led by the five governors to the monument by hanging their comrades.

The war is relentless, and life is fragile.

Those who need to be hanged, those who need spiritual sustenance, are they not just soldiers of the army?

The people of Hefei also have needs, and they spontaneously go to the hero's monument to pay tribute to their relatives and friends.

After the inauguration ceremony of the Hero Monument, Long Xiang hurriedly returned to the Military Sima Mansion.

At this time, the news of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou had reached Hefei, but neither the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, nor Luo Yicheng and Xu Wei sent out, had no news, so he had to send additional people to investigate, and asked Cao Xing every day about the situation.

At dusk that day, Lu Su and the others had already left, and Long Xiang was in a daze with his hands on his forehead.

There is a map on the case in front of him, and the dotted lines drawn in the map are the inferences given by Lu Su for Long Xiang, inferring that Liu Bei's route from Xuzhou to Hefei is the farthest and most detouring is through the southwest of Guangling and entering Huainan from the northeast of Jiujiang County.

If Liu Bei really borrowed Guangling, would Chen Deng choose to take him in and help, or capture it and give it to Cao Thief?

When Long Xiang was in a daze, he heard soft footsteps in the hall.

He thought that the maid had come to bring dinner, so he knocked on the table and said lazily, "Is it soup cake again today?" Set it aside and let it dry..."

"Are you hungry?"

Long Xiang was directly excited, because this was the voice of the second young lady.

Since the showdown with the Chen family last year, Long Xiang will bring gifts to the back house to visit every New Year's holiday, but every time Qiao Wei and Qiao Wan avoid it.

In fact, the three of them have already tacitly agreed to wait for the end of the year-end filial piety period to complete their marriage.

Although the relationship between the three was confirmed, before the wedding, the women in the boudoir had to be polite.

Qiao Wan suddenly found the front hall, and Long Xiang was surprised for a while, making him feel like he was cheating on Qiao Wei behind his back.

Is this the so-called "concubine is not as good?"

Stealing"?

"Second Miss, you... Why did you get here?" Long Xiang stammered to his feet.

"Mother... My mother asked me to come..."

Qiao Wan, who has always been lively, is in love with her first blooming cheeks and her cheeks are crimson.

Originally, Chen herself was coming, but she intercepted an errand halfway and wanted to talk to Long Xiang before marriage, which was the unbearable throbbing of youth.

The two sisters married the same husband, and Long Xiang married as a wife, and Qiao Wan was moved as a younger sister.

The three of them have such a marriage, mainly due to Qiao Wei's misunderstanding, seeing that Long Xiang is so painstaking, won't the young Qiao Wan fall?

As a weak woman, it is a great blessing to be able to meet someone you like in troubled times.

Although Qiao Wan is not married at this time, a heart has already been promised.

Long Xiang saw Qiao Wan hiding his face and bowing his head, looking ashamed and ashamed, he couldn't bear to tease and joke, so he went straight to the point.

"Outside... What does my aunt command?"

"Hmm... Actually, it's nothing, the third brother hasn't come home so late, and my mother asked me to come and have a look..."

Although Qiao Wan still lowered her head, she spoke a lot more neatly, and her mood adjusted quickly.

Long Xiang frowned and thought for a moment, and replied, "I saw him at noon, and in the afternoon... I may have gone to Uncle Zhong, Childe has recently helped out in the craftsman camp, and he has made great progress..."

"The third brother is the only male member of the Qiao family, and you are his future sister... Brother-in-law, teach him more..."

Qiao Wan secretly glanced at Long Xiang, and her heart was like a deer.

As Long Xiang gradually became an adult, the edges and corners of his face suddenly became distinct, and he was like two people when he was in the bridge house.

It may be the psychological changes brought about by the crossing, Long Xiang has self-confidence with future knowledge, which leads to the birth of each other, which makes Qiao Wan feel more and more that he is attractive.

"I don't need to be reminded by the second lady, I will definitely teach my son to become a talent."

Long Xiang looked outside the hall, and the light and darkness of the sky indicated that the sun had set, and it would be dark in less than half an hour.

"It's really getting dark, I'd better go out of the house to look for it, don't be delayed by anything."

"Hmm... Yunqi... Be careful..."

Qiao Wan responded in a crisp voice, which made the hairs on Long Xiang's body stand up, and said in her heart that the second lady was actually on this side, but it is a pity that she was born in the wrong era, otherwise she would have to record a sweet dubbing for the navigation.

Long Xiang asked, "Shall I send you back first?"

"No... You're busy with your... I'm leaving..."

After Qiao Wan finished speaking, he hid his face and slipped away like a rabbit, which made the second monk of Long Xiang and Zhangzhang confused, he had no love experience, and he couldn't guess the girl's mind at all.

Just as Long Xiang was scratching her head and wondering, Qiao Wan walked to the door of the hall and suddenly turned around, only to see her hands behind her back, her upper body slightly tilted forward, revealing her previous playful appearance again.

"By the way, I heard you ask for dinner just now, do you have anything special to eat? I'll give you an explanation to the kitchen later."

When Long Xiang saw Qiao Wan's smile, he instantly remembered some of the beauty of the original world, so he asked without thinking, "Special? Do you have noodles?"

"Noodles? Yes..."

The first time Qiao Wan heard about noodles, she estimated that they were the reference to some kind of food, and disappeared in place without waiting for Long Xiang's reaction.
