After hearing this, Long Xiang thought that if the second master was willing to come to Huainan, Liu Bei might not insist on his opinion, and maybe he would follow.

At that time, Liu Bei can pass and Zhang as generals, with Lu Su and Liu Ye as strategists, not to mention immediately occupying Jiangdong, at least he can capture Lujiang and even the entire Huainan, and then contact Liu Biao and Chen Deng, and divide Jiangdong in three ways, which is also a good way.

At this time, Yuan Shao's threat was still there, Cao Cao might not dare to go south with all his might, and as long as Long Xiang held his throat Hefei, he could create opportunities for Liu Bei to develop.

After thinking about it, if Liu Bei wants to succeed at this time, he has to rely on whether Yuan Shao can contain it, otherwise it will be difficult to implement no matter how good the strategy is.

Long Xiang and Lu Su discussed until late at night, and finally decided to let Luo Yicheng and Xu Wei go to Runan as companions.

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Yi was sent away.

Long Xiang first found Luo Yicheng and Xu Wei to explain the task, and then went to the outpost outside the city to find Zhang Fei.

In winter, the fog and temperature are low, and the craftsmen from various project sites outside the city have gathered and are making preparations before construction, and only the small workers are already moving materials.

Zhang Fei was at the top of the sentry and saw Long Xiang coming on horseback, so he trotted down to meet him.

His heavy body creaked as he stepped on the wooden building.

"How?"

Facing Zhang Fei's expectant eyes, Long Xiang pointed to the position of the fog in front of him:

"We got some news last night, and we'll talk about it as we go."

"Good..."

"It was probably the middle of July, the envoy was sent by Yuan Shao to Runan, and the Yellow Turban general Liu Pi got into trouble, and the troops harassed the border between Ru and Ying, and General Guan probably got the news in mid-August, and left Xu Du to look for him..."

"Off..."

Zhang Fei was stunned when he heard this, and his expression was a little dazed: "The second brother really didn't lose the eldest brother?" Didn't Cao Thief give him a big official? ”

Long Xiang said earnestly: "At that time, Xiaopei lost too quickly, and all the family members were placed in Xiapi, and Yun Chang's guards were few and invincible, if he didn't temporarily live in Cao Ying, how could he protect the safety of his family?" ”

"I'll believe you first, and I'll talk to him when we meet..."

Zhang Fei suddenly stopped, stared at Long Xiang with excited eyes, and said: "Since the eldest brother and second brother are in Runan, I must go to meet them immediately, I can't drink your favorite wine..."

"Don't worry..."

Long Xiang interrupted Zhang Fei and added: "Soon after the incident between the envoy and Liu Pi, they were defeated by Cao Ren with his troops, and now they may have returned to Hebei, or they may have gone to other places, but General Guan is unable to move while protecting his family, and he should still be in Runan at this time..."

"It's Cao Ren's husband again, don't let me meet him in the future..."

Zhang Fei scolded Cao Ren with wide eyes, and then frowned and said to himself:

"There are a lot of thieves over there in Runan, and the second brother is afraid that there will be trouble when escorting my sister-in-law, so I have to go over to help..."

"The territory of Runan County is huge, and Yide is so aimlessly searching, when will he be able to find General Guan? Besides, you should be able to bring Madame Xiahou with you? It may not be easier than General Guan..."

"What then? I can't wait any longer. ”

Zhang Fei was so anxious that he kicked the ground, and a small pit was stepped on at the heel position.

Long Xiang said: "With the prestige of General Guan, who would dare to brush the tiger's whiskers?" So there will be no danger for the time being, Yide wants to find me and I won't stop it, but it's better to find a place to go, so that we can have a target..."

Zhang Fei shook his head gloomily: "As Yunqi said, Runan County is so big, how can you know where the second brother is in a hurry?" I can only walk and search, and there is no other good way..."

Seeing that Zhang Fei's mood became depressed, Long Xiang patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Yide, it's better to wait for two or three more months, I have already sent someone to go deep into Runan to investigate, once you find out the whereabouts of General Guan, how about you go straight to your destination?" Definitely saves time than blindly. ”

"Runan is so big, can you find out the news in two or three months?"

Zhang Fei frowned and stared at Long Xiang with a question.

Long Xiang immediately drew his sword, drew a few figures on the ground, and then pointed to the dots in it and explained:

"Envoy Jun and Liu Pi guerrilla Ru and Ying borders, General Guan will inevitably go to this area to look for it, is the scope shortened a lot? Luo Yicheng and Xu Wei are both shrewd people, and I think they will be able to complete the task. ”

"Okay, it's still your brain..."

Zhang Fei's gloomy face showed a smile again, his expression today was like riding a roller coaster, and after praising it, he suddenly remembered something, so he grabbed Long Xiang's shoulders with both hands and asked, "Luo Yicheng and Xu Wei?" These two people are quite competent, are they already gone? ”

"I'm preparing in the city, and I'm expected to leave soon."

"Then don't worry, I'll also send two people to Runan together, and I'll come back soon to report the news if I find the second brother."

"No problem."

With hope, there is motivation, Zhang Fei knows that he is about to meet Guan Yu, and he is very energetic as a supervisor every day.

In late November, Lei Xu moved from Lujiangbei to Hefei with more than 30,000 family members to inject labor into the construction of Hefei New City.

The growth of the labor force has not been able to increase the pace of construction, mainly due to the lack of supply of materials.

The cement workshop and brick kiln have been expanded several times, but they cannot meet the demand of the sky, and the grain consumption of Hefei official warehouse is like flowing water, and the numbers in the account books are painful.

The essence of large-scale construction is the same as that of reckless militarism, which is to rush for quick success and profit, and do not consider sustainable development.

Long Xiang doesn't need to create achievements to show anyone, so he can adjust his strategy in time.

Tens of thousands of people outside the city built the city full-time, and the existing grain stocks in Hefei could not support the construction of the new city.

Long Xiang finally kept the original construction personnel unchanged, and arranged for the new people to reclaim the new fields, so that they could catch up with spring plowing and sowing in the spring of the next year;

Some of them take advantage of the dry season to excavate and desilt the water in batches and sections, and this year's drought may be heavy next year, so as to ensure that the water flow of the river can alleviate the danger.

At the nearest confluence of Shishui and Weishui, Long Xiang visited the site more than ten times, and he thought that after completing the dredging of the river, he could transfer the rich labor force to dig the channel.

The two tributaries can not only allow the Jianghuai River to complete navigation, but also play a role in flood discharge, but Long Xiang can't make up his mind for a while.

The front line of Shouchun has been decayed and barren, if Long Xiang let people dig artificial canals, Jiangdong warships can easily enter Huaishui, and he has a feeling of being wronged for a while.

In this era, there is talent competitiveness, even if it can easily occupy the empty city of Shouchun, Long Xiang is not interested in it at all.

Sun Quan occupied a number of military bases in Shouchun, and all supplies had to be transported from Jiangdong, and he had to face Cao Cao directly, which was not a bad thing for Hefei, nor was it a good thing for Jiangdong.

While Long Xiang was pondering at the excavation point, the general Lei Xu came over from downstream.

"General, Mr. Zijing asked you to return to the city as soon as possible, saying that there is an urgent matter..."

"Urgent? Lead me to the horse..."

Looking at Lei Xu's back, Long Xiang's eyes narrowed into a line.

At present, the major event in Hefei is the construction of the new city, and the major event in Huainan is the infighting between Sun Quan and Li Shu.

Could it be that Lujiang has already divided the winner and loser? Sun Quan still wants to come to Hefei to rob while the fire is hot?

Thinking of this, Long Xiang's heart was immediately not calm, and he moved his steps towards Lei Xu.

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