In addition to Zhu Huan, who was under house arrest at home, Zhang Zhao selected more than 100 people according to the size of his official position and recommended them to Long Xiang in the palace.

Long Xiang did not sit on top of it, but walked up to everyone and saluted one by one, showing both humility and amiability, and this act alone made a judgment with Sun Quan.

It may be because Sun Ce was assassinated, Sun Quan has never walked into the crowd like this, and there are hundreds of people who go out to hunt.

Once when he went out hunting and playing, Sun Quan was almost injured by the approach of a tiger, so he asked the craftsman to make a tiger shooting car, and he loved to enjoy and was extremely insecure.

Long Xiang is a master of art and boldness, at this time there are only Zhao Fan and two tiger guards by his side, once someone in the crowd has a bad intention, although he may not be able to successfully assassinate, but there is also a lot of risk.

The courage and courage of the horseman are often reversed by the results.

Long Xiang saluted face-to-face with the hundred officials, and finally returned to his original position intact and sat down.

Under the gaze of Zhang Zhao and others, Long Xiang's courage was affirmed.

By taking the risk to get impression points, Long Xiang glanced at the hall for a week, and said sonorously: "It is said that everyone is so happy today, and there should be a banquet to deepen understanding, but Sun Quan has not returned with his troops, and before he has decided the victory, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the princes, so I will not hold this banquet for the time being, and then drink celebration wine with everyone until the victory." ”

The tone is resolute, and the words are like iron.

Everyone secretly sighed, and said that Long Xiang was really pragmatic.

If you change someone else and take the enemy's place of governance, you can't celebrate for a few days?

The officials in the palace here, since they have made a surrender move, even if Sun Quan can recapture the city in the future, they will no longer be reused if they are not liquidated, so they all hope that Long Xiang can win.

It is better to be humiliated once at this time than many times in the future.

After listening to Long Xiang's generous speech, Zhang Zhao, as the 'leading brother', stood up first and said:

"General Long, although Marquis Wu was defeated in Hefei before, the main army of Jiangdong is still there, except for Zhu Xiumu's 10,000 troops, Guangling Lu Fan has 30,000 soldiers, and the troops brought by Chai Sang and Lu Meng should add up to more than 30,000, which is considered to be thousands of Danyang Han Dang's troops, that is, the total strength is close to 70,000, so how do you think about how to win the war?"

"As the so-called soldiers are not many but fine, I am confident that I can achieve victory, Zibu and Zhugong don't have to worry, I will not lead the battlefield to Wu County, Lu Zijing is guarding Liyang at this time, and the decisive battle venue will be in Danyang."

Long Xiang sat steadily, looking confident.

Zhang Zhao swallowed his saliva and reminded again:

"General, Liyang may be able to block the troops on the Western Front, but if the Guangling garrison knows the news to come to help, it will definitely go south directly to land in Dantu, and then follow Qu'a, Biling, and Wuxi directly to Wu County."

"Hahaha, Zibu Mo panic."

Long Xiang replied with a smile: "Since I dare to go deep into Wu Di, I have naturally made all the preparations, let me ask Chen Yuanlong, if the army attacks, will Lu Ziheng dare to abandon Guangling?" ”

"Chen Yuanlong? Can General Long drive this person? ”

Zhang Zhao's face was incredible, he turned his head to look at everyone's surprised expressions, and said in his heart that he didn't seem to have heard it wrong.

Long Xiang shook his head and replied: "Yuanlong and I are both ministers of the Han family, and my brother-in-law Qiao Jianguo is Yuanlong's son-in-law, so what is so strange about asking him to send troops to help contain him?" ”

"I see."

Zhang Zhao suddenly realized that he was a native of Xuzhou, and he was very familiar with the famous Chen Deng, and said that Long Xiang was really amazing, and secretly joined forces with Chen Deng, no wonder he could nail it to Huainan like a nail.

Sun Zhongmou, you didn't lose unjustly.

Zhang Hong, Qin Song and others beside him were all very intelligent, and when they heard that Long Xiang had defused the reinforcements from Guangling, they knew that Sun Quan was in big trouble when they counted their fingers.

Long Xiang himself had 20,000 troops into Wu, and counting the more than 10,000 troops of Wucheng Zhu Huan, it was not far from Sun Quan's troops on the western front.

In the past, the disparity in strength in Hefei could be won, but now that they are quite equal, isn't it like beating their sons? It is really appropriate for the imperial court to give the general the title of breaking the captive.

It's as simple as a confession, and the officials in the hall are relieved.

Seeing that the tense scene had eased, Long Xiang explained to Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Gu Yong, Yu Fu and others one by one, asking them to use their prestige and influence to temporarily appease the counties around Wu County and keep order in the county unaffected.

Long Xiang does not demand that everyone return to their hearts, but he does not want to fight on the front line, and the rear frequently causes trouble.

As we all know, the Jiangdong Shi clan is very difficult to do.

Although the Sun clan has only occupied Jiangdong for five or six years, Wu County is Sun Quan's core base camp, and the Sun family's minions are all over every county.

Since Long Xiang made a request, Zhang Zhao and others expressed their willingness to cooperate.

Just before the end of the court meeting, Long Xiang suddenly proposed to pay tribute to Zhou Yu, which surprised the people in the palace.

When Zhou Yu was alive, he once regarded Long Xiang as a fierce rival, and proposed to share the second bridge equally with Sun Ce, and now the second bridge is married by Long Xiang, and everyone mistakenly thought that Long Xiang was going to the grave to humiliate, but they couldn't find a suitable reason to stop it.

But Long Xiang made a request, and everyone had to obey.

Zhang Zhao had to call more than a dozen people to accompany him, and said in his heart that Long Xiang was not an unreasonable person, and if there was any excesses, he could still advise.

It was evening when he entered the city yesterday, and Long Xiang wanted to see the style of Wu County along the way, so he walked with Zhang Zhao and others.

Zhou Yu was buried on the bank of Zhenze in the west of the city, and it took more than an hour to walk unilaterally, but fortunately, the warm sun shone on the earth that day, and he did not feel cold when walking on the street.

It was almost noon when they left Wuhou Mansion, and everyone was surprised to find that there were many people coming and going on the street, although it was not as lively as when Long Xiang did not come, but it was incredible to be able to recover his vitality in such a short time.

All this is the credit of the soldiers of Hefei, who knocked on the door to door to promote pacification and the life that the people of Hefei are living now.

The people in the city gradually changed from panic to longing, longing for being able to eat and dress themselves under the rule of Long Xiang, and even buy affordable underwear to pass on to the next generation.

Most of the ordinary people live in poverty, and now there is hope in comparison.

They didn't feel who would rule, but they had a strong expectation of a better life, so they recognized Long Xiang in a very short time.

In the afternoon, the group came out of the city.

There are two thatched huts next to Zhou Yu's grave, where Zhou's wife marries and guards filial piety.

The crowd marched to the tomb, alarming Bao, who was resting in the hut, and she was greeted by the servants.

Long Xiang saw that the Bao family was dressed in plain clothes, and his appearance was ordinary, which was far from Erqiao, and said in his heart, no wonder Zhou Lang wanted to take a concubine.

Under Zhang Zhao's introduction, the two sides saluted each other.

Long Xiang's respectful memorial was somewhat unexpected by Zhang Zhao, and he secretly thought that he had underestimated Long Xiang's mind.

Because it has nothing to do with himself, Long Xiang doesn't have to follow Zhuge Liang's crying spirit like in film and television dramas.

After the short memorial service, Long Xiang walked to his side, and Bao Shi was relieved and said:

"It's a pity that Gong Jin died young, I have always admired Gong Jin's talent, I don't want to see each other again, is there any difficulty in my wife's life? Long Xiang will try his best to be satisfied. ”

"Thank you for the general's kindness, Wu Hou gave enough pensions, the concubine's family has no worries about food and clothing, the general can come to pay tribute to the first husband, he will be pleased in the sky, although the first husband is an opponent with the general, but he admires the general's talent very much."

Bao Shiyan bowed slightly.

"It's a pity Zhou Lang, so young."

Long Xiang sighed lightly, and suddenly thought of something, so he turned around and asked Zhang Zhao: "Mr. Zibu, I heard that Gongjin was poisoned, I don't know if the murderer has been found?" ”
