The melee had just begun, and Li Dian was repelled by Xu Chu's move, which directly changed the situation again.

Xu Chu's bravery and deterrence were strong, Zhang Liao followed Li Dian and withdrew to his own formation, and Tai Shici and Zhao Fan looked at each other, and also led the horse back to the original position in front of the formation.

At the suggestion of Long Xiang, the Xu brothers turned around and returned to their original position, and the scene was embarrassing for a while.

The Cao army had not yet completed the assembly, and Zhang Liao could not organize an attack for the time being, but just looked at Long Xiang viciously.

Long Xiang hurriedly hugged his fists in front of his chest, and pretended to apologize: "Don't be surprised, don't be surprised, although I am not aggressive, but General Xu has a good martial arts, just now I didn't hold back the itchy skills, and accidentally disturbed everyone's interest, wait for Hefei to harvest rice next month, kill two fragrant pigs to apologize to you."

The harder the fist, the more reasonable it is, Xu Chu just tried the knife, which made Zhang Liao and Tai Shici look sideways.

Knowing that Long Xiang didn't want to pursue it if he made excuses, the two sides chose to nod and respond at the same time.

Seeing this, Long Xiang's face was full of relief, and he continued to add: "As the so-called grievances should be resolved rather than settled, the two generals are not equal, and if they continue to fight, they will be damaged, so why fight hard?" How much money do you get? It's better to look at the thin face of someone in the dragon, everyone will temporarily withdraw their troops today, and it is not too late to change places to fight in the future. ”

"We agree."

Zhao Fan responded before Tai Shici.

Zhang Liao sneered: "Zhang can save face for Long Tai, but if Cao Sikong knows that you are protecting the thief, he will blame it and bear it himself."

"Protecting thieves? General Tai Shi Ci? Definitely. Long Xiang denied it again and again, and then explained: "Long someone will not protect the thief, and the real protection is also to protect the people of Hefei, they work hard to grow some food and rely on the sky to eat, I will never allow it to be ruined by human disasters; In addition, the two of you have no hatred, and they are both generals in one side, so there is no need to die like this, right? ”

"Hmph"

Zhang Liao snorted coldly in his nose, staring at Tai Shici with empty eyes: "Long Taishou only knows that he is working hard to grow grain, but he doesn't know that others are also working hard, this thief instructed Mei Cheng to burn down the Shaobi Tuntian, and entangled with our army at the mouth of the valley, you say I can easily let it go?" ”

"What Mei Cheng does, Hugh wants to impose on me." Tai Shici retorted loudly: "And he wanted to lead his troops to Shunjiangdong, but he was killed by you in front of me, what should I say?" ”

"Hmph, finally admit it?" Zhang Liao choked and asked: "Mei Cheng is not good at learning, isn't it natural to be killed?" Didn't you yourself watch from the wall? ”

Tai Shi Ci couldn't say anything, and in the end he only responded angrily: "You and I are our own masters, what about instructing Mei Cheng to burn the field?" Last year, you slaughtered soldiers and civilians and forcibly relocated people in Huainan, and you still expect everyone to live in harmony? ”

"If you can't get along, why don't you find another place to decide the winner?"

As soon as Zhang Liao's words came out, Long Xiang was worried about Tai Shici's head, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Ahem, the two of you are both generals and commanders, can you not be as excited as a reckless man?" No matter how much you have suffered, you have the lord behind you to rely on, unlike me, who has to rely on myself for everything, so it is difficult to find the lord? If you want to decide life and death, change places? How is it? ”

"Yes."

Zhang Liao and Tai Shici spoke in unison, but neither continued to finish the sentence.

Long Xiang's 'face fruit' and 'skill took effect', Zhang Liao and Li Dian were worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so they took the lead in leading the army to the west and began to retreat.

Lu Su and Xu Chu's tiger guard battalion stayed in place to prevent the retreating Cao army from suddenly counterattacking the water, while Long Xiang and Xu Ding covered Taishi Cidong's departure.

Zhang Liao and Li Dian walked side by side, from the same hatred when they pursued the enemy before, to now become two familiar strangers.

It may be that Li Dian was defeated by Xu Chu's move, and he deliberately said when he was marching: "I have heard for a long time that Xu Chu's martial arts are outstanding, and today's move is really worthy of its reputation, but I am afraid that there is no one under the command of the lord who can be defeated." ”

Zhang Liao admitted that Xu Chu was very strong, and when he saw that Li Dian had pulled the other party too high, he couldn't help but sneer: "Xu Chu does have brute strength, but General Li himself is invincible, don't bring everyone under the lord's command."

"Huh?"

Li Dian became angry namelessly, and his backhand was the soul question: "Are you still not convinced?" Why didn't you continue the battle just now? ”

"Long Xiang is obviously helping Tai Shici, just in the situation on the field just now, you let me fight four generals by myself? If General Li had held back just now and let the soldiers complete the formation as soon as possible, maybe they would have been able to continue fighting. Zhang Liao was-for-tat.

"What does General Zhang mean, shouldn't I have saved it just now?"

Li Dian's eyes widened, and he said in his heart that you should be beheaded by Xu Chu, the more he thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, and then he said sarcastically: "That day in the southwest of Lu'an, you responded early and started to attack, Tai Shici may have already been captured, how could you go to Hefei today to see Long Xiang's face?" ”

"Lu'an? Lu'an"

Zhang Liao didn't seem to hear Li Dian's words, and kept repeating Lu'an and Lu'an in his mouth.

He didn't deliberately pretend to be crazy and stupid, but planned to move the Shouchun defense line to the south and station an army in Lu'an to defend it, so as to protect the Shaobi Tuntian District behind him and prevent the enemy from making a detour to the water to attack.

Although he failed to eliminate the Taishi Ci Department, he exterminated Meicheng, which was entrenched in Lishan, not only avenged Yan Xiang, the former Yangzhou assassin, but also obtained thousands of thieves and Kou's families, all of whom could be invested in Tuntian.

It was originally a good thing to report good news, but Liu Fu was the first to report his worries.

When the two returned to Shouchun and saw Shi Lian, they guessed that Huainan was dragging Cao Cao back.

Cao Cao was unable to cross the river in time, giving Yuan Shao time to complete the deployment on the other bank, resulting in the early end of the Northern Expedition of Jian'an's eight years.

In Hefei, Long Xiang escorted Taishi Cidong to go.

On the way, he looked at the deputy general Zhao Fan's appearance was not bad, and his marksmanship was also very tricky when he blocked Xu Chu in front of the battle just now.

Long Xiang asked Tai Shici for advice on this topic: "General Ziyi, you are a talented general, I don't know what to call it?" ”

"A table of talents?"

Tai Shi Ci thought he was making fun of himself, so he responded with a cold face: "General Long has a fierce general Xu Zhongkang, and my deputy general Zhao can also enter your eyes?" Bo Chang, talk to General Long yourself. ”

"Yui."

Zhao Fan responded to Long Xiang and saluted with his fists: "The last general Zhao Fan, a person from Changshan County, thank you General Long for relieving the siege." ”

"Changshan Zhao Fan?" Long Xiang's face was different.

Zhao Fan asked curiously: "It's me, what's wrong?" ”

"Can you take a step to speak?"

Seeing that Long Xiang's finger was not far away, Zhao Fan subconsciously asked Tai Shici for instructions.

Tai Shi Ci didn't know what to do, he knew that Zhao Fan's skills were not weak, so he thought about it a little and nodded in agreement, but he didn't hesitate to stare at the two of them.

Zhao Fan didn't communicate with Long Xiang for a long time, but Tai Shi Ci, who was not far away, could see his mood swings.

Long Xiang retained Tai Shici and refused several times, and finally sent him to the east of the old city to cross Shishui, and then led his troops to the new city.

Zhao Fan was worried that Tai Shici would misunderstand, so he began to confess separately from Long Xiang.

"The general knows my background, just now General Long called me aside, saying that someone asked him to inquire about my whereabouts, and that person is my own brother."

"Oh? He's so powerful? Isn't there any plan? This man has shown me favor many times."

"It should be true"
