Chapter 215: Hefei people, don't starve

Long Xiang snorted coldly: "Hateful? The higher you jump, the worse you die. ”

Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this, and on the way back to the army, he hugged his fists and asked Long Xiang for help.

"Yunqi, it's not fun to kill today, you now allocate some people and horses with me, and I will go and destroy the enemy of Jun Xuan."

"The enemy of Jun Xuan has no fighting spirit, and Yide may not be able to fulfill his wishes..."

Long Xiang first shook his head and rejected, then nodded and looked at Liu Ye, and added: "Mr. Ziyang has a clever plan to retreat from the enemy. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Fei came to Liu Ye and asked, "How did Mr. retreat from the enemy?" Speaking out opened my eyes. ”

Liu Ye replied: "Li Shu's intentions are not good, when he sees General Xu in Junqiu, he will not attack the city with all his might, at this time, he only needs to drive a few prisoners to deliver the message, and the enemy of Junshu will retreat in an instant." ”

"Catch the captives? General, didn't you say—" Lei Xu stopped talking.

Long Xiang explained with a smile: "General Lei, don't worry, I am a soldier who has released Zhang Duo, and all your troops will be left." ”

"Oh good... Not true..."

Lei Xu immediately corrected the wording: "There will be no part in the end..."

"Hahaha."

Long Xiang patted Lei Xu on the shoulder and smiled, "You don't have to be like this, I, Long Xiang, have always been suspicious of employing people, since you are willing to stay in Hefei, you will be your own people in the future, many of the soldiers who participated in the war in Hefei today are Zheng Bao's troops..."

"Uh... That's the case..."Lei Xu suddenly realized.

Long Xiang added: "They used to be under Zheng Bao's command, and they often had times when they didn't have enough to eat, but now they basically have no worries about food and clothing, and many of them have built new houses, and now they are the same as everyone else, both new and old are Hefei people." ”

"Hefei people?"

Lei Xu muttered to himself, and suddenly looked at Long Xiang curiously: "Then I will bring these..."

Long Xiang replied solemnly: "As long as they are willing to build and defend Hefei, they must also be Hefei people, and Hefei people who are willing to work will not starve." ”

Lei Xu swallowed his saliva and asked carefully: "General, is there still a shortage of people in Hefei now?" The last general could bring the soldiers and their families here, but I heard that the city was full..."

"What if the city is full?"

Long Xiang disagreed, and pointed to the surrounding wilderness: "I plan to build a new city near here, the scale is several times that of Hefei now, if you move the family members of the tribe, you can just participate in the construction of Hefei New Town, and you will be the first batch of residents of the new city in the future." ”

"Build a new city?"

Lei Xu didn't believe his ears a little, it was easy to build a bridge and build a few houses, but it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to build a new city, he looked at Long Xiang suspiciously.

Long Xiang said solemnly: "This Hefei new city will surpass Shouchun in the future and become the center of Huainan, which will absorb more people, and there will be two cities as barriers in the future, which can also guarantee cultivation on this fertile soil..."

Lei Xu asked, "How long do you plan to build it?" ”

Long Xiang replied: "I plan to build four walls first, and the streets and houses inside will be gradually replenished, and it is relatively safe to farm land within the wall. With the protection of the city, the soldiers can rest assured that they can fight outside in the future, and they don't have to worry about the safety of their relatives. ”

Lei Xu was thrilled when he heard this, and he hugged his fists and asked Long Xiang with a happy face.

"Then we will move the people as soon as possible?"

Long Xiang waved his hand lightly: "Don't worry first, when I retreat from the enemy of Jun Xuan, settle down your subordinates, and then it's not too late to pick up people." ”

"Yui."

Lei Xu was satisfied with the picture depicted by Long Xiang, and he couldn't wait to move all the people under his original rule immediately.

Although I know that coming to Hefei is as hard as it is, how can the world of adults be easy? It's a great temptation to have enough to eat.

Fortunately, Hefei has grain in stock, which can ensure that the people do not starve, and the land on both sides of the water is flat and fertile, which is more suitable for farming than the mountainous areas in the north of the Lujiang River.

Long Xiang likes the homeless people to vote, but the concentration is too much and too violent, which will overload Hefei, he wants to go back and Lu Su to make a good calculation, and the planned resettlement is more in line with his steady character.

On the way back to the class, Long Xiang released dozens of captives from Liu Ye's plan and drove them to Junqiu.

These captives are all Zhang Duohe, the original master general died of fear, they became 'lonely ghosts' at this time, and they all went straight to Jun Yu when they were freed.

There is no way, Hefei is unwilling to take it in, and needs to find a place to eat, the key is that there are people behind them to drive them away.

Long Xiang ordered Xu Ding to lead a thousand people to follow, not only to control the direction of the captives' movements, but also to pick up Xu Chu, wanting to quickly drive away Li Shu's partial division.

The reason why Zhang Fei was not sent was that Long Xiang had three considerations.

First, Zhang Fei only had dozens of relatives with him, and he fought a tough battle in today's battle, and now he is sleepy and tired, and it is not suitable for long-distance attacks;

Second, with Zhang Fei's reckless character, Long Xiang was worried that he would kill the red eye, and he would chase the enemy's army to take the head, so it would be easy to be ambushed;

Third, 6,000 captives can only be placed outside the city, Long Xiang needs a strong man to deter, and Zhang Fei has captured Lei Xu alive just now, and he is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Because the construction of Hefei New City was about to start, Long Xiang handed over the Hefei city defense to Tang Yu to be solely responsible, let Feng Zhong lead the craftsman battalion out of the city to work with the prisoners, and allocated 500 people to Zhang Feihu's guard camp to supervise the work.

There was originally a celebration banquet for the victory of the war, but Long Xiang pushed back the time, and the enemy of Jun Chu had not retreated, and they had to wait until the Xu Chu brothers returned to celebrate together.

Long Xiang then took Lei Xu back to the house, pointed to the room next door where Lu Su lived, and said:

"The house in Hefei is tight, and in the future, you will bring your family and then assign a separate house, and now you will give in for the time being and live next door to me."

Lei Xu was flattered, waved his hand and humbly said, "This is also... There is an ear room for the guards to rest next to the gate of the house, and the last general will live there..."

"Do what I say, the beds and bedding in the room should be complete, and if you lack anything, you will add it later..."

Long Xiang couldn't allow Lei Xu to refuse, turned around and instructed Zhang Fei again: "Yide, you take General Lei to familiarize yourself with it first, and I have to go to the main bookkeeper's mansion to find Zijing." ”

"Oh."

Although Zhang Fei nodded, he asked suspiciously: "You should be tired today, why don't you ask someone to invite Mr. Zijing?" ”

"There are 6,000 parts to be placed outside the city, Zijing should be busy now, why bother to put up a shelf and invite him to the door? I'm a person who likes to be pragmatic and not pragmatic..."

Long Xiang went back to the house to take off his armor, changed his clothes and left in a hurry, leaving Zhang Fei and Lei Xu in place.

Lei Xu was a little embarrassed to stay by Zhang Fei's side, so he scratched his head and took the initiative to provoke the topic.

"General Long is really... Wind and fire..."

"Well, don't look at Yunqi's young age, he is vigorous and resolute, I can't compare..."

After Zhang Fei boasted to himself, he suddenly remembered Long Xiang's instructions, so he pointed to Lei Xu's room and said:

"I'll show you the room first, Yunqi didn't let me live next door to him, your comrade's face is not small..."

"Uh..."

Lei Xu raised his cuffs to wipe his sweat and explained for Long Xiang: "General Long should have his own considerations... If General Zhang wants to live here, the last general will directly change it with you. ”m.

"Too lazy to bother."

Zhang Fei was about to step across the threshold, when suddenly a touch of familiarity appeared in the afterglow, and he turned sideways to find that it was indeed the little son of the Qiao family.

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