Chapter 204 A good way to become famous

As the saying goes, don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold someone.

Mi Heng didn't say a few words in total. Although he didn't name anyone, every sentence was sarcastic, which made Zhang Zhao lose face.

Xu Churen didn't talk much, and he didn't answer any boring questions on Mi Heng Road.

Looking at Mi Heng's thin back, Long Xiang curiously asked Zhang Zhao: "Zi Bu, what is Paulownia? Someone seems to use it to describe Zhong Kang's arm?"

"The paulownia wood is the trunk of the sycamore tree."

Zhang Zhao paused for a moment in the middle of explaining, coughed twice and continued: "Ahem. In the last battle in Hefei, General Xu performed very well. After the war, the lieutenants in the army spread word of mouth. At first, they praised him for his infinite strength. Later, for some reason, he spread the word

To go too far, they say that arms are as light as paulownia wood, and some people even falsely claim that their arms can walk horses."

Long Xiang knew about the sycamore tree, but without Zhang Zhao's explanation, he would have interpreted the sycamore tree as Astro Boy and Astro Boy, which would not have anything to do with strength athletes.

As for the ability to move horses on his arms, Long Xiang felt that this sentence was very familiar, and it felt like it was describing a certain strong man.

"Understand, understand, some things are just like that. If they are passed around, they become rumors. Zibu doesn't need to feel embarrassed."

Long Xiang took Zhang Zhao's hand and walked back, thinking that I have a say in this matter.

This is how Zhang Fei came to retreat by riding alone. It helped him make a name for himself in Shouchun, and now Xu Chu's bravery must have spread throughout Jiangdong.

Zhang Zhao smiled and nodded, deliberately changing the subject and asking: "Zijing returned to Hefei early, has Captain Long taken over Junqiu?"

"Not yet." Long Xiang shook his head.

Zhang Zhao quickly persuaded: "You are not really waiting for the edict, are you? Since County Magistrate Liu bows his head to ask for it, delaying the sun and the moon is afraid of chilling his heart."

“Hefei has been busy lately, so I’ll go and take care of it when I’m not busy anymore.”

Long Xiang said this, but he had already made a plan in his heart.

This was carried out after the Yuan family had been sent away. With the false reputation of Captain of Southern Jiujiang, Liu Ye had more reasons to persuade him to surrender.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and nodded: "Did Zijing tell you? I will try to take over Fuling and Quanjiao counties later. Although the land there is relatively barren, some money and food will be left every year. It will be a supplement at least."

."

After hearing this, Long Xiang shook his head bitterly: "My abilities are limited and beyond my reach."

"Don't tell lies in front of real people."

Zhang Zhao suddenly stopped and pointed to the city wall in front of him and said: "You can turn the deserted city of Hefei into Huainan's leading city, so why should you be humble about your inability? Are you unwilling?"

"Well, I'm actually a little worried about this."

Long Xiang hesitated, as if he had something to hide.

Zhang Zhao frowned: "Where does worry come from?"

Long Xiang appeared confused, and it took him a long time to explain:

"Quanjiao, Fuling and Guangling border, and I am now on good terms with Jiangdong. If Chen Yuanlong holds a grudge because of this, and then leads troops from Guangling into the two counties, wouldn't it be self-defeating?"

"Captain Long was originally worried about Chen Deng? Haha."

Zhang Zhao pointed at Long Xiang and laughed and shook his head. Long Xiang then looked confused.

"Why are you laughing, sir? Chen Yuanlong is resourceful and good at using soldiers. Isn't it right to be worried?"

Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and said consolingly: "First of all, Chen Deng moved the Guangling Administrative Office to Sheyang, which is six or seven hundred miles away from Quanjiao and Fuling;

Secondly, the southwest of Guangling is sparsely populated and there is not even a large city. There is no need for him to go all the way to invade Huainan;

Thirdly, the victory between our lord and Chen Deng has not yet been decided, so how can Chen Deng have time to trouble you? Don’t have so many delusions."

"It makes some sense."

Long Xiang nodded like a primary school student, but he just listened and never expressed his opinion.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhao added in a deep voice: "There are still many separatist forces in Yangzhou. Captain Long's choice to have good relations with Jiangdong shows that your vision is correct. My lord wants to have a decisive battle with Chen Deng. I also hope that General Long will follow

We don’t need you to actually send troops. You just need to capture Quanjiao and Fuling counties and send some scouts to strengthen patrols in the border area."

"this"

Seeing Long Xiang hesitate to answer, Zhang Zhao reminded in a low voice:

"No soldier is harmed, everyone benefits from each other, and it is a good thing for both families."

"Of course there is no loss just by patrolling, but this will offend Chen Yuanlong, and attacking the two counties will cost troops and generals. Hefei cannot bear it at this stage."

Long Xiang still shook his head.

When Zhang Zhao heard this, good guy, don't you want to give at all? He thought to himself that there is no way to conquer a city without death? You are too stingy.

"Junqiu can fight without bloodshed, Quanjiao and Fuling can do the same. As for worrying about offending Chen Deng? Jiangdong is your solid backing."

"Junqiu hasn't taken over yet. Quanjiao and Fuling are far away. Let me think about it carefully. Anyway, I will try my best to cooperate with General Sun."

Long Xiang was talking to Zhang Zhao as he walked. Quanjiao and Fuling were part of his plan. Now he was deliberately talking about difficulties and concerns, just to get some benefits in Jiangdong. After all, he wanted to help Sun Quan 'contain' Chen Deng, but Zhang Zhao came back and forth with Quan.

In retreat, there is no guarantee that it will be implemented, so the original topic gradually shifts to other places.

After entering the city, the three of them rested in the pavilion inside the south gate.

As far as the eye can see, the Yuan family is queuing up on the street to walk out of the city.

Until the turn of Shen and You, thousands of people including Yuan Shu's family members, widows, court ladies, etc. all boarded the ship.

At this time, I was sitting under the pergola and looking at the sky. The sun moved westward from above my head to the top of the city wall, and it was still below the horizon for an hour.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhao wanted to resign, but Long Xiang quickly stood up and pointed at the sun to persuade him to stay:

"The sun has set in the west, and it will get dark before the fleet can travel very far. Why don't we stay in Hefei for one night, so that I can fulfill my duty as a landlord."

"If Zhao is staying in Hefei, where will the people on the boat be? There are still some days before the sun sets. We can go as far as we can. We will still have a day to meet each other in the future. Let's get together next time."

Zhang Zhao bowed his hands, his eyes full of determination.

"Zibu is truly a role model for our generation"

Long Xiang smiled at Lu Su, and then the two of them sent Zhang Zhao out of the city and boarded the ship.

It wasn't until the fleet went down the river and they saw Xu Chu on their way back to the city that they remembered that there was Mi Heng in the post house.

Seeing Xu Chu's serious expression, Long Xiang stepped forward and asked curiously:

"The posthouse is not far from the south gate. How come Zhongkang has been gone for two hours? Have you settled down safely?"

"Well, this person has a lot of problems. He kept saying weird things on the way, and he started getting into trouble when he arrived at the inn. One moment he complained that the room was too hot, the next moment he complained that there were too many mosquitoes, and the next moment he complained that the bed was hard. I almost couldn't bear it.

live."

Xu Chu, who cherishes words like gold, today talked endlessly to Long Xiang and said a lot of bad things about Mi Heng. Long Xiang could see that he was very angry.

After hearing this, Lu Su breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "Fortunately, General Xu held it back. I heard that you Zhengping is such a madman. You used to treat Cao Cao like this in Xudu."

"It's strange that Thief Cao didn't kill him." Xu Chu murmured to himself.

Lu Su smiled bitterly and said: "You are famous for your Zhengping talent. Cao Cao didn't want to be known as a bad person, so he sent him to Jingzhou. Liu Biao couldn't tolerate it and gave it to Huang Zu. Unexpectedly, Sun Quan didn't want him even after he succeeded to the throne."

"Why on earth is this person? Just because he is a famous scholar? What will happen if we kill him?" Long Xiang asked, frowning.

Lu Su shook his head and sighed: "If you kill a wise man and kill a soldier, it will stop others from moving forward, and no one will join him, and there may be other consequences. When Cao Cao killed Bian Rang, something happened in Yanzhou. If we really can't stand him, we can't

Must be sent away."

Long Xiang was not afraid that no one would come to invest. With his background and current reputation, he would not be able to attract talents in the first place. He was just afraid that Liu Bei would be implicated in the future.

He said with a bitter look on his face: "You Heng has traveled around among the princes, who is still willing to take him in? Even if there is, we can't send him away."

Lu Su's eyes suddenly lit up and he said anxiously: "You are so proud of your talent that few people can tolerate him. If Yunqi's mind is broad enough, maybe it's a good way to become famous?"
