Good and bad news came at the same time, and Long Xiang did not panic.

On the one hand, he asked Xu Ding and Lei Xu to dock the defense, and on the other hand, he instructed Hao Meng to go to Sun Kuang's Mansion to spread the word.

asked the brothers and sisters of the Sun family to pack up and prepare, and they would go out with the army in half a day.

Hao Meng mistakenly thought that Long Xiang wanted a hostage, so he did not suspect that he strode out.

After Xu Ding and Hao Meng left, Long Xiang looked at the file on the desk, and asked the attendant to bring a wooden box to pack it, which he used to retreat from the enemy.

When the attendants were packing up the bamboo slips, Gu Yong suddenly came to the door with Lu Yi.

Long Xiang greeted him warmly, and under Gu Yong's introduction, he and Lu Yi met in a hurry.

Lu Yi is three years younger than Long Xiang, he is very young without a beard at this time, and although he is only in his early twenties, his gestures give people a sense of calmness.

Long Xiangxin said that he deserves to be the patriarch of the Lu family, and this heart alone far surpasses his peers, no wonder you have the highest achievement among the four major governors.

"Bo Yan came just in time, Lu Ziheng besieged Wuxi, I am going to lead troops to relieve the siege, how about you go with me? Let's have a good chat on the way. ”

"Well, it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Lu Yi has developed a forbearance personality for many years, so even if Long Xiang's invitation was a little abrupt, Lu Yi still politely agreed.

Long Xiang nodded with satisfaction, and said to Gu Yong in a blink of an eye: "General Lei brought back thousands of soldiers from Liyang, they themselves are all children of Jiangdong, whether to continue to be a soldier or unload the armor in the future, I don't have time to deal with and resettle now, there is Lao Yuanxi and Zibu and Dinggong to discuss a countermeasure, temporarily raise them in Wu County, and wait for me to solve the crisis in Wuxi, and then come back to deal with it in a unified manner, and there will be many people in the follow-up."

"No problem, I'll talk to them right away."

Gu Yongyan left after saying that, Long Xiang's countermeasure was to temporarily resettle, and it was obvious to discuss with Zhang Zhao and Lu Dai, if the grain in the official warehouse was not enough, he would need some support from the local clan.

Long Xiang has just defeated Sun Quan head-on, he now has the strength to speak, Gu Yong does not reject this, whoever is in charge of Jiangdong will not escape the support of money and food.

As soon as Gu Yong left with his front foot, Long Xiang looked at Lu Yi again and asked meaningfully: "I heard that when Sun Bofu attacked Lujiang, Boyan's clan died a lot due to the war, but why do you support the Sun family so much?" ”

Lu Yi was directly stunned when he heard this, since he joined the Sun Quan shogunate, no one had ever asked about this, which pot did not open and which pot did not mention.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yi replied: "The Lu family is originally a big clan of Wu County, since the Sun family is the lord of Jiangdong, if I live with hatred, I will definitely cause trouble to the clansmen, and after Wu Hou succeeded to the throne, the governance is much more peaceful than his grandson Fu Fu, I came out to do things for myself and for the clan." ”

"Oh? Would you like to hear more? ”

"Lu Yi asked himself if he has some talents, if he is empty in this life, Lao Lin Quan is really unwilling, and there are many heroes in the clan who need opportunities, if I don't take the lead and set an example, won't this huge Lu family decline?"

After listening to Lu Yi's answer, Long Xiang was shocked.

He lamented that those who can achieve great things often experience great difficulties and bear a lot of responsibility.

Long Xiang saw the shadows of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang on Lu Yi.

But Lu Yi should have been forbearant for many years and showed humility at any time.

Thinking of this, and the name that Lu Yi finally left behind, Long Xiang suddenly said something meaningful.

"I've heard Bo Yan's story, but your name doesn't seem to match your style."

"What do you mean?" Lu Yi showed a curious expression.

Long Xiang smiled and explained: "The speaker is also good, but Boyan is low-key and humble, compared to other officials in the city, you are better to do practical things than to talk about it, and it is not in line with the words."

"Huh?"

Lu Yi was stunned when he heard this, it turned out that Long Xiang praised himself politely, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "The general's false praise makes me embarrassed, but when it comes to pragmatism for the people, I am afraid that the general will be called second, and no one will dare to admit the first." ”

"Bo Yan's reaction is really fast."

Long Xiang smiled happily, then thought carefully, and pretended to joke: "Since Bo Yan is 'not worthy of the name' and gives people a humble appearance, why not change the proposal to Xun?" ”

"Huh?"

Seeing Lu Xun frowning and stunned in place, Long Xiang was worried that he was joking too much, so he hurriedly added: "I was talking nonsense just now, don't be angry." ”

"What General Long said is very true, I will consider this matter carefully."

Lu Yi has a forbearant and strong personality, he can do things for Sun Quan regardless of his previous suspicions, so naturally he will not joke with Long Xiang, but feel that the other party has some truth.

Through this incident, Long Xiang glanced at Lu Yi again.

His current official position is Lujiang Taishou, and he wanted to use the Huainan incident to get closer, but Hao Meng came from outside the palace 'out of time'.

"General, Sun."

"Bo Yan is not an outsider, he will say something directly."

Hao Meng didn't know Lu Xun, and the words stopped abruptly halfway, and Long Xiang waved open-mindedly.

"Talk"

Hao Meng said eloquently: "The brothers and sisters of the Sun family are unusually today, when they heard that you asked them to pack their bags, they all said that their home was in Wu County and they did not want to leave, and they wanted to take them away, unless it was a corpse."

"Huh? How so? ”

Long Xiang frowned and asked, "Where have you been slacking off lately?" ”

"No, everything is as it was, yesterday was fine"

Hao Meng spread his hands and made a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, I can save it."

Long Xiang's eyes rolled and he had a plan, and said in his heart that if it was difficult to do it alone, it would be easier to have three people.

So he waved his hand to Lu Yi and invited: "Bo Yan and go with me?" ”

"Yui."

Lu Xun nodded in response.

After a short time, several people came to Sun Kuang's mansion.

Sun Lang came out in the front yard first, and before Long Xiang could ask, Sun Kuang and Sun Shangxiang came one after another.

Sun Kuang, as the head of the three, expressed his opinions on behalf of the three siblings.

It means that he would rather die in the city than be used to threaten Sun Quan, and Sun Lang and Sun Shangxiang all echoed him.

Long Xiang listened to the tone of the three of them, and knew that it was Sun Shangxiang who was stirring up trouble, this little girl coerced the two brothers, and she was really a difficult little pepper.

Knowing the crux of the problem, Long Xiang had an idea in his heart, and said with a leisurely smile: "Sun Zhongmou has just been defeated in my hands, so why should I threaten you?" Let you pack your bags, it's something else."

"Hmph."

Sun Shangxiang interrupted Long Xiang with a coquettish shout, and gushed endlessly: "How about victory or defeat, it's not your mouth?" I heard that Mrs. Lu is guarding the city, and it is estimated that he will soon recapture the city, are you afraid? ”

"Haha, facts speak louder than words, why should I lie to a woman? If Brother Ling hadn't been defeated, why would I go back to Wu County? In addition, Lu Ziheng has been retired for a few days, Miss Sun still doesn't know, right? ”

Sun Shangxiang was about to refute, but was interrupted by Long Xiang's words:

"Let you prepare your bags, not to take you as a hostage, but to have a new arrangement, in view of your three brothers and sisters, I give three choices, the first is to return to Guangling with Lu Fan."

"Would you be so kind?"

Interrupted by Sun Shangxiang again, Long Xiang glared at him and continued: "I don't like to raise idlers, even if your brothers and sisters are talented and learned, they will not be used by me, sending one away can save a lot of food, second"
