Cao Cao wanted to seek revenge from Long Xiang and Tai Shici, but unfortunately the two didn't give them a chance at all.

When the sentry found that Cao's army was close to Yingshui, Tai Shici immediately evacuated Linying with his troops and returned to Huainan by air cargo ship directly from Lishui.

Long Xiang, who got the news in Xudu, also followed closely behind and led the army to Xinji Wharf.

The two teams are in the lower reaches of Yingshui, and the Xiangxian area will return together.

Long Xiang's containment strategy was successfully completed, which relieved the pressure on Guan Yu under heavy pressure.

It's like when Cao Cao lifted his sword to grab Lu Boxuan, Chen Gong suddenly stripped him of his clothes, and Cao Cao finally chose the former between covering up and killing.

Tai Shici was very excited to see Long Xiang, grabbed his hand and said excitedly:

"General Long has a lot of clever plans, he really lured Cao Cao back, and Cheng Yu was killed not long ago, Tai Shici is convinced of you, how to arrange it next?"

"After two or three months, the soldiers and craftsmen are tired, so they can only go back to Huainan to rest and recuperate, and then it depends on how Cao Cao chooses, if he continues to go to Jingzhou or Luoyang, we will go back to load cement and then go to the Central Plains."

After listening to Long Xiang's answer, Tai Shici frowned and asked, "Is this okay?" Cao Cao must take precautions at this time, so you are not afraid that he will come to Huainan to retaliate? ”

"It doesn't matter if there are precautions, we can go to other places, the water network is crisscrossed all over the Central Plains, Ziyi is still afraid that there will be no place to go wild? As for the fear that Cao Cao would come to Huainan to take revenge? I couldn't ask for more. ”

Long Xiang's indifferent look made Tai Shici even more confused, and said in his heart that there was still someone who took the initiative to beg to be beaten?

"What do you mean?"

"Cao Cao doesn't have a naval army now, he is transferring all the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, with the skills I have cultivated over the years to defend the city, I will definitely be able to return home, but don't forget Uncle Liu Huang and General Guan, they are Cao Cao's real nightmare."

Looking at the twitching corners of Long Xiang's mouth, Tai Shi Ci slapped his forehead violently and laughed at himself: "I actually forgot about this, Xu has been using a clairvoyant mirror to monitor too much recently, and his brain has become weak due to fatigue." ”

"Huh."

Long Xiang smiled and patted Tai Shici's arm, and said with relief: "Ziyi has worked hard during this time, wait until you return to Shouchun to have a good rest, but you must also be ready to fight, in case Cao Cao loses his mind and goes south, we can't be too passive." ”

"The general can rest assured, Ci will keep his life safe and sound."

Tai Shici patted his chest and assured, Long Xiang shook his head first when he saw this, and said: "You don't have to be too nervous, this possibility is very small, just remember the following sixteen words: 'The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase,' and you will be able to defeat the enemy." ”

"The enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy is stationed and disturbs me."

Tai Shi Ci looked at Long Xiang with admiration, and couldn't help but compliment excitedly: "General Long is really a genius in soldiers, if you write a book in the future, you may be able to surpass Sun Tzu."

"Amount"

Long Xiang was also inspired to take out the teacher's high theory and use it, but before Tai Shici was so loving, he thought he couldn't stand it, so he waved his hand again and again.

"I'm just a vulgar head, how dare I be greedy for something that swallows the sky? Ziyi, don't kill it"

"But the essence of these sixteen words, Bo Chang and others will help me engrave them in the scabbard"

Before Tai Shici finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Zhao Fan was not around.

I was so excited that I forgot about it, and then I could only smile at Long Xiang awkwardly.

"Uncle Zhao often carves, but I forgot that he left with Mr. Lu, it seems that he has been too tired recently"

"Bo Chang followed his son Jing to the west, during the defeat of Lü Meng and the threat of Jiangxia and Yuzhang, he should have secretly gone to Guiyang to recognize his relatives, and I told him to stay in Guiyang and persuade Zhao Taishou to respond to General Guan."

After listening to Long Xiang's explanation, Tai Shici nodded in agreement:

"Although Guiyang is far away from Xiangyang, but this move can also be inspiring, I have a relationship with General Guan, how could I never have imagined that he could have such an achievement, alone against Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops, I can't ask myself."

"Ziyi doesn't have to be presumptuous, General Guan is unparalleled in the world, and your magic arrow skills can also be proud of the others, and there will be a time when Ziyi's light blooms later."

Long Xiang's words were like magic, Tai Shi Ci stayed directly in place, and after a while he muttered:

"Me? Shine in the open? Is it possible? ”

It's not that Tai Shici doesn't believe it, but it doesn't match the reality.

He is now working under Long Xiang, and no matter how great his achievements are, he can't enjoy them exclusively.

Just like this raid on Xudu, after the war, everyone will think of Long Xiang first.

Seeing Tai Shi Ci's disbelieving expression, Long Xiang slapped his arm again, and said earnestly and encouragedly:

"Ziyi must have confidence in himself, just like the ambush of Cheng Yu before, there is no condition to create conditions, if Cao Cao does not retaliate against us this time, then the Central Plains will have no chance to take advantage of, I plan to take Xuzhou for Uncle Huang, and Ziyi will lead the troops to shine."

"Xuzhou? Let me go? ”

Tai Shi Ci's body trembled in shock, and then frowned and asked:

"The situation in Xuzhou is very complicated, the Taishan general forces headed by Zang Ba, the Cao Cao forces led by Dong Zhao, and the local forces headed by the Chen family, the three forces are intertwined and contain each other, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to take them between them."

"Huh."

Long Xiang smiled lightly, approached Tai Shici and whispered: "Chen Yuanlong is not only Uncle Jianguo, but also owes me a favor before, if he wants him to oppose Cao Zun Liu Bi will have no problem, in addition, Taishan will not really support Cao, among which Changba is the supporter of the emperor's uncle, Ziyi is still worried about Xuzhou is difficult?" ”

"The three forces, the second of them has gone, and if they can't go down, they are incompetent, but."

Tai Shi Ci looked at Long Xiang hesitantly, "General Long is the lord of Yangzhou, how can he give away the credit?" Can Compassion Be at Ease? ”

"Haha."

Long Xiang laughed, and Zhengse explained: "As Ziyi said, I can't manage Yangzhou anymore, how can I be greedy to think about Xuzhou?" And the Sun family has not yet fallen, I must guard against them;

Ziyi was originally from Donglai, and if he took Xuzhou, he could try to capture Qingzhou, so it was most suitable for you to lead the troops, and Uncle Huang should think the same. ”

"Thank you."

Tai Shici's eyes suddenly became sour, and a belief that a soldier would die for his confidant came to his head.

Clenched his fists and bowed to Long Xiang, and thousands of words were integrated into the two words.

Thinking of the faltering and unwilling in the first half of his life, and thinking of the cold treatment of his fellow villager Liu Xiang, even if Long Xiang intends to stand on his own feet at this time, Tai Shici will follow without hesitation.

Not long after, suddenly the storm changed color.

It rained heavily and fell suddenly.

On the way back to Huainan, the torrential rain never stopped.

In late May, the fleet docked at the Hefei terminal.

Long Xiang immediately asked Hua Tuo and his disciples to do a physical examination in the whole army, and immediately boiled medicine to cure the disease when they suffered from the cold.

In addition, Long Xiang has also been paying attention to the news of the Central Plains, he wants to know how Cao Cao will act next, and he also wants to know if there is anything major happening in Xu Du, which he personally monitors.

The first few days were calm, but in mid-June came the news, and it was staggering.

The Son of Heaven Liu Xie is gone.
