Before Long Xiang sought to capture Shouchun, for the safety of Luo Yicheng and others, he also transferred the Xudu Intelligence Station in advance.

Therefore, the news that Liu Bei occupied Guanzhong was not transmitted to Hefei in time.

Seeing that Lu Su's words stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, Long Xiang said with confidence:

"Zi Jingda can rest assured, so that Jun has both civil and military forces around him, and there is no problem in capturing Chang'an, Cao Cao is besieging Yecheng at this time, it is an excellent time, and it is estimated that there will be news soon."

Lu Su was skeptical, but the next day his attitude changed drastically.

The imperial court sent Jiang Gan to Hefei, and in addition to bringing the edict of reward, Jiang Gan was also in the casual conversation with Long Xiang, and was knocked on the side to mention that Liu Bei occupied Chang'an and seized Tongguan.

Long Xiang and Lu Su did not appear outside the city to wait for Zhang Liao as promised because they wanted to receive Jiang Gan.

Cao Xing accompanied Zhang Liao to the east gate of the new city to say goodbye, but he found that the situation was not quite right.

When I got closer, I was dumbfounded.

In the open space outside the city gate, not to mention that no one was waiting, not even a pig.

"Where's General Long?"

"Or maybe you were drunk last night and are still hungover?"

"Hangover and not waking up? Lu Juncheng is also drunk? And those five hundred pigs, also drunk? ”

"Ahh

Although Cao Xing tried his best to explain, he really couldn't answer the pig's question.

Because he couldn't figure out Long Xiang's thoughts, Cao Xuan didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only make a careful suggestion:

"It's pointless for us to speculate for no reason, anyway, we've already arrived at the city gate, why don't we go into the city and ask clearly? I believe that General Long will have a reasonable end. ”

"Forget it."

Zhang Liao shook his head lightly with a straight face, remembering that Guan Yu did not say goodbye at the beginning, and said that this might be the will of heaven, so he hugged his fists and said goodbye to Cao Xing.

"Since General Long has something, why should I bother again? During this time, thank you Cao Sima for taking care of me, Zhang Liao hurriedly said goodbye first, and asked Cao Sima to convey it on my behalf. ”

"General Zhang, don't worry, besides, the five hundred pigs haven't been there yet."

Cao Xing was a little flustered when he saw that Zhang Liao was leaving, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the other party's words.

"Forget it, I and the soldiers have eaten well, and the five hundred pigs are still staying in Hefei, and it is not convenient to take them with them."

"But."

Before Cao Xing's words could be spoken, the sound of hurried horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the city.

Turning his head to look at it, the man riding the horse was extremely burly, and his body was a bit like Xu Chu, so he immediately looked happy.

"General Zhang, it seems to be General Xu, he must have come to deliver the message, please wait a little longer."

"Xu Zhongkang?"

Zhang Liao's expression became solemn, and he said in his heart that the generals of Hefei were a threat to this person, and if Long Xiang sent him to stay by force, it would be a little troublesome to leave today.

returned the five hundred war horses to Cao Xing, most of Zhang Liao's eight hundred parts were on foot, and if he forcibly escaped, he had to give up this part of the people.

But these are all Zhang Liao's confidants, and they are reluctant to give up.

While thinking about it, Xu Chu rode his horse to meet outside the city.

"General Zhang, my general asks you to talk in the city."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Liao returned the salute with a fist, frowned and asked, "Does the dragon general plan to let Zhang Liao leave?" ”

"No, it's not that my general didn't come to see him off, it's actually that the imperial court envoy Jiang Gan has just arrived in Hefei, and General Long and Mr. Lu need to greet him, so they sent the last general to invite him."

Hearing Xu Chu's answer, Zhang Liao looked surprised: "Jiang Gan? Jiang Ziyi? ”

"This is the man."

"He's here"

"It seems that he is announcing the edict on behalf of the imperial court, and he also suggested that General Long come and invite you into the city, will General Zhang continue to wait here, or"

"I'll go into the city with General Xu."

Since Jiang Gan represents the imperial court, it means that he has come to Hefei to redeem people, and Zhang Liao, as a person to be ransomed, how dare he not meet him?

And he was afraid that Long Xiang would talk nonsense, so he left the 800 parts outside the city, and rode into the city with Xu Chu and Cao Xing's flying horses.

On the way to gallop on his horse, Zhang Liao accidentally found that there were hundreds of live pigs humming and chirping in an open space in the city, which indirectly proved that Long Xiang was indeed in trouble.

After a while, the three of them came to the Taishou Mansion.

As soon as Zhang Liao walked on the steps in front of the hall, he heard a hearty laugh in front of him.

He was stunned, and said in his heart that Jiang Gan seemed to be a person from Huainan, could it be that this person had an old friendship with Long Xiang?

Otherwise, Xun Lingjun would not let him go on an envoy, and the two in the hall had just met, so they would not be able to talk so happily.

In fact, Jiang Gan was able to serve as an envoy entirely because he was from Shouchun, but he had nothing to do with Long Xiang, and he went to Xu Capital to seek a job like You Heng in his early years.

Cao Cao is the actual controller of Xu Du, and if a celebrity like Jiang Gan wants to become a celebrity, he can only go to Sikong Mansion to start as a staff member.

Jiang Gan was unknown in Cao Ying in the early stage, until a few years ago he went with Guo Jia to persuade Lu Su to surrender, and finally was sprayed by You Heng to be incomplete, but because of this, he was recommended by Guo Jia, and he often got the task of running and lobbying.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, he heard Jiang Gan shouting:

"General Zhang, don't come unharmed? We haven't seen each other for some days, and you have done a great job in Hefei. ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Liao was very apprehensive after hearing this, worried that Long Xiang would say something unfavorable, but quickly dispelled his doubts.

"Is this major event limited to Hefei? It is to look at the whole world, and it is also the existence of the past and the present. ”

"I guess if Cao Sikong knows, he will definitely commend General Zhang, and Jiang will convey General Long's letter of merit."

Jiang Gan raised the letter to Zhang Liao, and continued to joke with a smile: "Liu Tingshi repeatedly urged me to leave quickly, he was afraid that General Zhang would move bricks to build a city in Hefei, and if he knew that he had made such a splashing achievement, he would definitely be surprised." ”

"Haha." Long Xiang echoed with a smile: "A general like Wen Yuan, how can I bear to let him move bricks, but Sun Quan also came by coincidence, and Wen Yuan has a chance to become famous." ”

"Eh" Zhang Liao smiled awkwardly, clasped his fists and said: "General Long praises falsely, Zhang is really ashamed." ”

In the midst of a few casual chats, Zhang Liao learned that Long Xiang had been awarded the title of general.

When I congratulated, I was full of emotion in my heart, and I said that I had been fighting in the south and north for many years, and I only got a partial general by virtue of my military merits, and Long Xiang actually got the general number so quickly.

Long Xiang was going to set up a banquet for Jiang Gan, but because Zhang Liao urged him to leave, he saved a meal.

Zhang Liao and Long Xiang officially resigned, took Jiang Gan and drove 500 pigs, and left the Hefei territory.

Five hundred soldiers without mounts, each assigned a pig to rush on the road, Zhang Liao once felt that Long Xiang was deliberately like this.

Because of the relatively fast walking speed of the pigs, they can only walk about 20 miles a day.

From Hefei to Xudu is thousands of miles away, Zhang Liao was like an arrow, but he walked on the road for two months.

On the way, Zhang Liao pondered Long Xiang's general, and said in his heart, how is it exactly the same as Dong Zhuo? Could it be that the lord has any deep meaning?

"Mr. Ziyi, do you know that Feng Long Yunqi broke the general, is it any special intention?"

Seeing that Zhang Liao sincerely asked for advice, Jiang Gan replied with a smile: "General Zhang is worthy of the lord's love for generals, do you know who the last general was?" Sun Jian. ”

"Huh? I don't know."

"Hehe, Sun Quan lost his father when he was young, find him a father, and Sun Quan and Long Xiang will definitely die in the future."

"This"

Zhang Liaoxin said good guy, I actually only guessed half of it, who would have thought of this intention?
