Hefei five battalions, Huwei is the most idle, but also the strongest.

In addition to extreme weather, Xu Chu will insist on training every day, so that the Tiger Guard Battalion can fight at any time.

Long Xiang wants to go out to reconnoitre, so he naturally brings the most capable soldiers.

The appearance of enemy harassment around Hefei was expected and unexpected by Long Xiang.

It is expected that the three forces of Li Shu, Yan Xiang, and Liukou are pulling in Huainan, and one day they will not be able to bypass Hefei, the center of Huainan, and unexpectedly the harassment will come too quickly.

Yangzhou, south of Huaishui and north of the Yangtze River, has two counties, Jiujiang and Lujiang, and Yuan Shu was only nominally controlled when he was alive, but in fact they were all controlled by local tyrants.

The city and population of Jiujiang County were originally concentrated on the south bank of Huaishui, that is, a total of nine counties from Shouchun in the west to Zhongli in the east, which are currently under the control of Yan Xiang;

Among the five southern counties, Hefei is occupied by Longxiang, because of its destruction of Zheng Bao and defeat of Sun Ce, so that Junyu County, which is 100 miles away from Hefei, has sent people to give gifts many times;

Among the three southernmost counties, Liyang is close to the Yangtze River and is dependent on Sun Ce, and the two counties of Fuling and Quanjiao are in a state of autonomy.

Lujiang County has a total of 14 counties, the population is mainly concentrated around the southern Anhui County, Sun Ce sneak attack Liu Xun to capture here, he left Li Shu limited troops, and only occupied seven counties by the Yangtze River;

Qi County and the northern counties were based by Chen Lan, Lei Xu, Mei Qian and other Yuan Shu old departments, Huainan Haoqiang.

Sun Ce sent his strategist Chen Duan to Anhui County last year to help Li Shu drive the tiger and devour the wolf in Huainan, but unfortunately the assassin Shi Yanxiang was not a brainless and reckless man, he did not dare to go south to Hefei to provoke Longxiang, and instead went west to win over Chen Lan and other forces, trying to control the northern part of the Lujiang River in the name of the imperial court.

Li Shu couldn't drive the tiger and devour the wolf, so he instigated the heroes in Lixian, Lu'an and other places, saying that Hefei Longxiang would only stick to it, and suggested that these people go to the surrounding areas to loot money and grain.

Hefei is connected to Chaohu Lake in the south, Shaobi next to Chengde in the north, and there are two rivers in the middle, Shishui and Shuishui, this land is fertile, especially suitable for Tuntian.

The defeat of Yuan Shu, the dissipation of the Zhong family's power, the defeat of Liu Xun by Sun Ce, and the rise of Long Xiang to fame made the originally barren Hefei a paradise in people's hearts, siphoning a large number of displaced people in the Huainan area, making Hefei the most populous city in Jiujiang and Lujiang counties.

The resettlement in the city is gradually saturated, and the conditions for the new city are not mature, which is what Long Xiang is most worried about at this stage, so even if dozens of horsemen suddenly appear, he has to pay attention to it.

It felt like playing StarCraft, when the resources of the original base were insufficient, and it was necessary to go to the nearby new foundation to open a mine, but because the defense force was too late to deploy, it was frantically harassed by the opponent.

One harassment may be able to deal with it, but many will be tired of dealing with it when they come in turn, and in the end, not only will the sub-base not be opened, but it will also drag down the development of the main base.

Long Xiang doesn't like to be led by the nose, he took the Tiger Guard Battalion today to personally reconnoitre, in addition to defending against the enemy, there is also important investigation work.

Hefei New City has no conditions, but it can build some beacon towers along the river and some defensive posts in Tuntian District to prevent small groups of enemies from harassing them.

Less than ten miles out of the city, Cao Xing's ranger sentinel came to report again, saying that the dozens of cavalry in the north might not be the enemy, because the horse saw a carriage behind the team from a distance.

"Revisit."

Long Xiang waved his hand to send the sentry away, and the originally frowning brows unfolded directly, saying in his heart that the people in the car must be Liu Bei's family.

After waiting for a few months, he finally waited for the news of Taoyuan Sanjie, but he was beaten a little miserably by Cao Cao, and there were only a few dozen horses left of more than 20,000 people in Xuzhou?

"General, if the enemy harasses you, you will never bring a carriage, or will you make sure they come back?"

Xu Wei has been out for several months and has not returned, Xu Chu is also quite worried as the leader of the clan, he was originally as calm as a stone, but now his expression is obviously happy.

"I guess that's the case..."

Long Xiang thought that Liu Bei had come from Xuzhou, and the horses were tired when he sat down, and he should hurry up to meet them, but he only had six horses with him, so he instructed Xu Chu and said: "Xu Wei may have brought a distinguished guest, you take these horses to meet first, and I will lead the Huwei battalion foot soldiers to follow." ”

"Yui."

"Zhongkang, and wait."

Xu Chu clenched his fists and wanted to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Long Xiang.

"The general still has orders?"

"If it's not Xu Wei but the enemy, you can't fight recklessly, retreat first and wait for me, remember safety first."

Long Xiang admonished with a serious face.

"General rest assured." Xu Chu clenched his fists sonorously.

Although Xu Chu is big, he is not a brainless and reckless man, in the face of Long Xiang's caution and concern, he is not angry because of his strength, but he is very relieved in his heart.

Only as oneself would you tell you like this, how can the ordinary lord care about your life or death?

Long Xiang does not conquer the people around him with power and wealth, and treats people sincerely is his unique charm.

The war horses in Hefei themselves were scarce, half of them were obtained by the extermination of Zheng Bao, most of them were given to the cavalry battalion, a small number of short and weak horses were transferred to the cultivated land, and the rest were distributed to the generals of the four battalions, and the Tiger Guard battalion could not get ten horses in total.

Although he guessed that those cavalry might not be the enemy, Long Xiang was not as conceited and arrogant as Sun Ce, and he was about to rush forward with a few horsemen to take risks.

If he encountered an opponent like Tai Shici, Long Xiang did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to get out, and if Xu Chu was taken away at the same time, there would be no one to lead the foot soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion, so he sent Xu Chu to take the first step.

Xu Chu led the order to beat the horse away, and Long Xiang led the tiger guard to continue the march.

After walking more than ten miles, I saw the cavalry in front of me in formation, and the two generals in front of the formation were fighting and fighting, cheering and shouting one after another.

Good guy, I just told you a thousand times, and the ears fanned the mosquitoes?

Long Xiang was about to raise his gun and signal to march at full speed, when suddenly a flying horse rushed out of the front formation, and he stretched out his hand and called out as he ran: "General Long, Long Sima..."

The voice went from unclear to clear, and the figure on the horse slowly became larger from small to large, and when he ran two or three feet away, he saw that it was Luo Yicheng.

"Luo Yicheng, I've seen the general."

Luo Yi wanted to dismount and salute, but was stopped by Long Xiang with a gesture, and frowned and asked, "Who is Zhong Kang fighting with?" ”

"It's General Zhang Yide... He heard that Xu Dudu was a martial artist, and he was going to compete as soon as he met him, and Xu Wei and I couldn't stop him at all..."

Luo Yicheng looked helpless.

"It's really nonsense, Liu Yuanjun and General Guan won't stop it?"

"They weren't with us..."

"Shhhhh

Long Xiang didn't ask much and stepped forward, since he knew that the front were all his own people, he didn't have any scruples at this time, and said that the second master estimated that he would take his brilliant achievements in the annals of history, but he didn't know if Liu Bei would go to Hebei.

Zhang Fei and Xu Chu are both powerful generals, and Long Xiang was afraid that the two tigers would be damaged if they collided hard, so he frantically twitched the horse's buttocks and planned to step forward to stop them.

"Winged..."

"Zhongkang..."

"Don't fight anymore..."

At the same time as Long Xiang shouted, the sky suddenly became overcast, and a large dark cloud was gathering overhead, and it looked like it would rain soon.

The spring rain is continuous, moisturizing all things, but it is not a good thing for the march.

Long Xiang smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that he was really a good guy, is this line poisonous?

Some people died, but not completely......
