"Thank you very much."

As soon as Zhang Liao stepped into the threshold of the main hall, he didn't finish speaking, and a reminder from the guards in the courtyard came from behind him: "General Long, Lu Juncheng and Liu Tingshi have arrived." ”

"General Long, did you also invite Liu Tingshi?" Zhang Liao couldn't help but dodge forward.

Liu Fu was captured and brought back to fat, Zhang Liao had already inquired through Qin Yilu, he originally thought that Long Xiang had arranged it properly, but at this time, the two of them were both fallen people at the end of the world, and the meeting of 'colleagues' was very embarrassing.

Zhang Liao didn't want to face Liu Fu in Hefei, and Liu Fu didn't want Zhang Liao to see him.

At this time, Lu Su took Liu Fu to the door, and Zhang Liao had a preconceived idea for a while, thinking that Long Xiang was embarrassing himself.

Unexpectedly, Long Xiang pointed to the inner hall behind the palace and said: "Wen Yuan don't worry, I have my own measure, you go to the inner hall to wait first, and then talk to you after Liu Fu is finished." ”

"Well, that's fine."

Zhang Liao didn't know what medicine was sold in Longxiang's gourd, but in order to avoid embarrassment with Liu Fu when he met Liu Fu, he took a few big strides and walked to the inner hall.

Looking at the hurried back, Long Xiang sighed that Zhang Liao's life was not easy.

Cao Ying's interpersonal situation is quite complicated, and Zhang Liao, as a general, can be mixed like this, all because of his careful and high emotional intelligence.

On the other hand, there is no family in Hefei, and Long Xiang does not have the privileges of clan personnel, and there is no need to balance various interests, it is purely to build Hefei to raise energy, so the officials under his command are all comfortable.

Standing in a daze for a while, Lu Su took Liu Fu into the hall to see him.

Long Xiang saw Liu Fu for the second time, and found that the other party was much haggard, and guessed that the other party was under great psychological pressure when he was captured.

"Liu Tingshi, don't come to harm?"

"Acting in a coy manner, want to kill or chop? Listen to it. ”

Liu Fu remembered that he had worked in Hefei, and he was determined to speak well on the road, but when he saw Long Xiang's playful tone, his answer was still stiff.

Long Xiang motioned for Liu Fu to sit down, and said with a smile: "Liu Tingshi and I are old acquaintances, it's not appropriate to shout and kill as soon as we meet, right?" You should know that Long is a pragmatic person, and I called you here to discuss something. ”

"What's the matter?"

Liu Fu frowned, and said in his heart that I am a prisoner, what else are you talking about?

Whatever you want, can't you do whatever you want?

Long Xiang leaned forward slightly, and asked meaningfully: "I sent troops to capture Shouchun, but it was actually a misunderstanding, do you believe it or not?" ”

"Can this be called a misunderstanding?"

Liu Fu's eyes widened, and he sarcastically mocked Long Xiang's thick skin, and then sneered: "Long Taishou doesn't need to explain, as the so-called success and defeat of the king, I have nothing to say." ”

"Although the explanation is very pale, I still want to explain a little, in fact, this time I sent troops to Shouchun at the instigation of Jiangdong."

Long Xiang's words were made up temporarily, he didn't care whether Liu Fu believed it or not, as long as the other party brought the news back to Xudu, it could become a confusing message, and paved the way for the following words.

"Hmph." Liu Fu snorted bitterly twice and muttered, "Why did Long Taishou explain to the prisoners? Whatever you say is what you say."

Long Xiang ignored Liu Fu's cold eyes and continued to explain: "I had no intention of offending Cao Sikong, but it has been a big mistake after the scheme, in addition, I have been in Shouchun for several years, and I have a special feeling for that city, and there are many people from Shouchun in Hefei, many of whom are attached to the old land, in view of this, I will simply make a mistake."

"Nostalgia for your homeland?"

Liu Fuxin said that your excuse is really perfunctory, and immediately teased: "Long Taishou is not very old, but his mentality is like a twilight old man, I hope you can take it and keep it." ”

"The situation in Huainan is different from that of the Central Plains, I have accumulated experience in Hefei for several years, and I am confident that Shouchun will also be well managed, since Shouchun wood has been completed, I want to be recognized by the imperial court, in fact, today I invited Liu Tingshi, just for this matter."

After Long Xiang finished speaking, Liu Fu finally understood what he meant, and dared to love the other party daydreaming in front of him, so he shook his head and smiled lightly, leaving a four-word comment.

"How dare you think about it!"

"Only by daring to think and dare to fight can we succeed."

Long Xiang patted his thigh and stood up, looked Liu Fu up and down, and then added: "In addition to Liu Tingshi, General Zhang Wenyuan has also been obtained by me, and now I plan to let one of you go back to Xudu and show my heart to the court for me, but I am hesitating who to let go back."

Because Long Xiang's voice was not small, Zhang Liao in the inner hall was shocked when he heard it, but he immediately understood that this matter was not so simple, so he leaned against the wall and continued to eavesdrop.

After hearing this, Liu Fu pondered for a while, and also guessed that Long Xiang was playing tricks, so he frowned and asked: "Since General Long has this intention, why don't you let us leave together?" When the time comes, everyone will work together, and maybe your dreams will come true. ”

"That's not going to work." Long Xiang categorically refused, and then gave an explanation: "If they are all released, who will do their best for me?" ”

Liu Fu understood now that Long Xiang was planning to take hostages, and immediately asked: "General Long killed General Li, and so many soldiers in Huainan are already tantamount to betraying the imperial court, and it is difficult for you to do this."

Long Xiang smiled leisurely and said playfully: "Difficult to do? It is difficult to see the ability, Liu Tingshi is the governor of a state, and it is said that he is closer to the imperial court than General Zhang, so I will talk to you first, if you don't want to."

"Yes, I do."

Liu Fu immediately agreed, and said in his heart that it was better to return to Xu than to stay, and it was up to Cao Cao to decide whether he succeeded or not, anyway, he would not die and be poor, but he couldn't help but ask: "If this matter is not done well, I don't know General Zhang and him."

"Sit down and speak."

Long Xiang put his hand in his hand, sat down first with a smile, and said: "Even if I can't do this well, I won't detain Hefei for a long time, but General Zhang has hundreds of parts, and it takes a certain price to leave." ”

"At what cost?"

Liu Fu, who was questioning in the palace, and Zhang Liao, who was eavesdropping on the palace, were very concerned about what the price was.

Long Xiang stared at Liu Fu and smiled, explaining, "Does Liu Tingshi still remember the misunderstanding at the beginning? Hefei has a system of labor to offset crimes, and if General Zhang and his subordinates do a good job, maybe I will also release people according to their performance. ”

Liu Fu swallowed his saliva after hearing this, and the past of moving bricks and burning kilns instantly appeared in his mind.

With the nickname of 'The History of Burning Kiln Thorns', he couldn't raise his head in front of people for a long time, thinking of the picture of Zhang Liao moving bricks and dust, Liu Fu suddenly felt a little guilty about him in his heart.

Just as Liu Fu was reminiscing about the past, Long Xiang's voice came from his ears again.

"General Zhang and his subordinates are soldiers, if there is a war between Hefei and Jiangdong in the future, they can also help me retreat from the enemy, and replacing labor with military exploits also counts."

"Is that okay?"

Liu Fu showed an incredulous expression.

"I come from a humble background and have never seen the world, so I finally won the battle, and it's not too much to get some benefits, right?" Long Xiang looked like he took it for granted.

"Eh" Liu Fu shook his head: "It's not too much"

Seeing that Liu Fu agreed to his plan, Long Xiang looked at Lu Su again and instructed: "Zijing, Liu Tingshi's return to Xudu will be arranged by you, he was frightened in Shouchun, did you arrange a banquet to suppress the shock?" ”

"It's not too late yet"

"That has to be arranged, You Zhengping seems to have a good relationship with Liu Tingshi, you remember to call him as a companion."

"I've saved it"

"No need, no need."

Liu Fu hurriedly refused, and then added: "If General Long really wants to let me go, can you arrange it as soon as possible?" There's no need to set up a feast, I can go now."

Zhang Liaoquan, who was hiding in the inner hall, understood that he dared to call Liu Fu today to reassure himself.

Zhang Liao secretly sighed, Long Xiang is not old but has sophisticated methods, how good it would be if it wasn't for his opponent.
