Long Xiang was noncommittal, came to Lei Xu, and said: "You don't have to worry about who he is, just answer whether to descend or not, you said before the battle that there is a shortage of food, and I don't have to be hungry." ”

"Can I eat all of them?"

Lei Xu raised his eyes and asked rhetorically, with obvious doubts in his tone, even if the population is wealth, but overpopulation is a burden.

The fundamental reason why Bai Qi killed 400,000 soldiers in Changping Pit was that he could not afford to support the shortage of military food.

Long Xiang was about to answer, when Zhang Fei suddenly reminded in a deep voice: "Your part? Where else is the part? They are now captives of Hefei. ”

"Uh... Right, right... It's a captive..."Lei Xu replied bitterly.

Long Xiang said with a smile: "Regardless of the prisoners or the troops, whether it is a civilian or a soldier, as long as you stay in Hefei and build Hefei with peace of mind, you can have a full meal, and if you are willing to work hard, you may be able to drink wine and eat meat." ”

"Really?"

Lei Xu's eyes suddenly widened, he has often been worried about food in the past few years, not to mention that the people under his rule are hungry, and his subordinates have to rely on looting to make a living.

Now that there is an opportunity to eat, Lei Xu suddenly feels that he has no talent to be in charge.

Why is there such a big gap between people? Maybe following Long Xiang is the right way?

"Hahaha, how can I make a joke?"

Long Xiang pointed to the green wheat seedlings in the east, and reasoned seriously: "This place is nearly ten miles away from Hefei, do you know why I am blocking it here?" It is to protect the crops and people outside the city, as the so-called people take food as the sky, and grain production is the foundation of my foothold in Hefei, and it is difficult to last by plundering alone..."

Lei Xu originally wanted to recuperate in Tuntian, but in order to maintain competitiveness in Huainan, he overloaded and recruited nearly 10,000 troops, but unfortunately he did not have the ability to govern the place, which made the people under his rule poor and hungry, and in order to feed this life-saving army, he also had to loot counties and townships to supplement.

Looking at the vigorous wheat seedlings, Lei Xu suddenly woke up, although he couldn't eat enough under Yuan Shu before, he didn't have to worry so much, since Long Xiang was so capable, why did he have to work so hard?

While thinking about it, Lei Xu suddenly bowed down on one knee, clasped his fists and said solemnly: "General Xie's grace not to kill, Lei Xu is willing to surrender sincerely." ”

"Hurry up, please."

Seeing Lei Xu's sincere expression, Long Xiang bent down to help the other party up, and at the same time patted the back of the other party's hand to comfort him.

In the battle of Shishui, the two armies of Lei Xu and Zhang Duo had more than 12,000 troops, in addition to more than 1,000 people who were directly killed in the war, and more than 3,000 people collided with each other and trampled to death during the escape.

The more than 6,000 captives captured were basically Lei Xu's troops, and most of the more than 1,000 soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from the battlefield were Zhang Duo's soldiers.

It was originally difficult to surpass the prisoners of the Hefei defenders, but Lei Xu's initiative to surrender made it much less difficult to resettle.

Before setting off for fattening, Long Xiang reminded Lei Xu: "The reason why Hefei is not bothered by grain and grass is that I deliberately controlled the number of troops, so most of your previous troops would be engaged in farming, building cities, etc..."

"I've saved it, this Xu... The general was right just now, they are no longer the last generals, and it doesn't matter how the general arranges them..."

Lei Xu has been in the army for many years and has come to his senses, he thinks that Long Xiang is testing himself with words, how dare the generals talk about military power again? So hurry up and show your attitude.

After listening to this, Long Xiang pointed to Zhang Fei and introduced: "Hahaha, you are right just now, General Xu is guarding the city in Jun Yu at the moment, this is Zhang Yide, General Zhang." ”

"It's you..."

Lei Xu swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted Zhang Feifei: "General Zhang is really the enemy of ten thousand people, and the last general was defeated just now..."

"Well, you're stronger than Zhang, that guy was thrown twice by me, and he was directly scared..."

"Ahem..."

Seeing that Zhang Fei was not very good at speaking, Long Xiang directly interrupted with a coughing sound, then pulled Zhang Fei aside and whispered: "Yide, you don't have to go to Junyu to recruit troops, I see that Lei Xu's troops have a training foundation, and go back and directly pick two or three thousand people from it." ”

"Hmm... That's great. Zhang Fei nodded straight.

Long Xiang reminded in a low voice: "They used to be Lei Xu's soldiers, so it doesn't hurt to be close to Lei Xu..."

"Oh..."Zhang Fei seemed to have an understanding.

After Long Xiang and Zhang Fei finished whispering, they went back to ask the reason for attacking Hefei in a few ways, now that the siege of Hefei has been resolved, the enemy army of Jun Xuan has not retreated, and the information in Lei Xu's mouth is very helpful to retreat Li Shu's soldiers.

Lei Xu pinched his chin and beard, and slowly told everyone the cause and effect, and it turned out that the cause was related to Shouchun Meicheng.

Mei Cheng and Li Shu booby-trapped Yan Xiang, but they went back on their word and swallowed Shouchun's money and food, for which Li Shu helped him hype it up, attracting the attention of many forces.

In the disaster year, the harvest was poor, and all the families were short of food, and suddenly Mei Cheng made a windfall, and the rest of the forces were instantly red-eyed, and they sent people to Shouchun to ask for it in the name of borrowing grain.

Mei Cheng has a certain strength in Huainan, but he is unwilling to become the target of public criticism.

But it is impossible to borrow grain, because there is not much money and grain in the Shouchun Mansion, unlike Li Shu's accumulation, in fact, he didn't get much in Shouchun, only enough for his own digestion and absorption.

Mei Cheng heard that Li Shu was playing ghosts, so he used threats to let Li Shu deal with it, saying that he couldn't deal with these 'big eaters', so he united everyone to go to Anhui County to ask for explanations.

Li Shu didn't think it through at the time, and just wanted to make Mei Cheng not so good, but he lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Lujiang and Jiangdong are on the verge of a break, and if they become the public enemies of Huainan at this time, Li Shu, the Lujiang Taishou, will come to an end, so he will make a faint move to target Hefei.

Hefei has a record of defeating Sun Ce, ordinary people do not dare to cause trouble, but they are not afraid of thieves stealing for fear of thieves, Hefei's homeless people are accumulating more and more, so much that they can no longer be placed in the city, and there are twenty or thirty thousand people gathered outside the city, so it is impossible to say that there is no grain stock.

Li Shu thought that even if he couldn't take Hefei, he would gain a lot of money by looting outside the city, but he was afraid of the famous fierce general Xu Chu, so he had a detour to sneak attack Jun Chu.

Hefei and Junchu, Xu Chu can only defend one side.

If Xu Chu is in Hefei, he will attack the city to get money and grain, and if Xu Chu is in Hefei, he will loot outside the city of Hefei to get money and grain.

In short, Li Shu volunteered to send troops to help, and he didn't take as much as he gained, but he could only help this time.

Hefei has a good reputation, and ordinary thieves dare not provoke it, but Lei Xu and Zhang Duo are very short-grained, so they can only participate in this big adventure.

Li Shu was willing to take the lead in sending troops, and Mei Cheng's coercion was one of the reasons, but the deeper idea was Liwei, who set up a character by defeating Long Xiang, so that Sun Quan knew the difficulty and gave up Lujiang.

It means that the opponent that Sun Ce can't beat, I Li Shu can defeat, you Sun Quan weigh it yourself, don't be stupid.

Li Shu and Mei Cheng's dealings, Lei Xu and others are not very clear, but there is a 'leading brother' to make a fortune, and they follow without thinking about it, just like blindly following the countrymen.

Long Xiang was surprised after hearing this, and said in his heart that Li Shu should be called Li Crazy, and it generally doesn't end well when he is the 'leading big brother'.

Liu Ye said firmly: "The general was right last time, Li Shu worked so hard to help Mei Cheng break the siege, these two must be the murderers who colluded to murder Yan Xiang, and they actually fantasized about using Hefei to send other people, which is really hateful..."

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