"General, how do you..."

Long Xiang was very surprised when he saw Qiaorui appearing in front of him.

Qiao Rui sat on the bed provided by Tang Yu, looked at Long Xiang who was still lying on his stomach and asked: "It has been more than 20 days, the wounds should have healed, right? Can't you still go to the ground to move around?"

"It should have been possible, but Uncle Wei didn't allow it..." Long Xiang looked helpless.

As soon as Qiao Rui turned around, Tang Hui clasped his fists and explained: "Yun Qi has been complaining about itchy back for the past few days, and I'm afraid that he can't help it after he stays, and it will be troublesome to find a place to rub the wound. Isn't it a pity for the general's gift of medicine?"

"

When Long Xiang heard this, good guy, do you think I'm a wild animal? Are you still looking for a place to rub your back to scratch your itch?

After hearing this, Qiao Rui stroked his beard and agreed: "Your worries are not unreasonable. It is normal for the wound to be itchy during the healing period, but you still have to move around every day. Fortunately, the weather is getting colder now, otherwise it will be easy to cover the front of the body..."

Tang Wei replied: "General, don't worry, I will do my best every day to ensure that Yunqi recovers smoothly..."

"Good." Qiao Rui nodded in affirmation.

Long Xiang took advantage of the opportunity to ask: "General, you must be busy with things lately, why are you so busy coming here?"

Qiao Rui stretched out her index finger and pointed it, jokingly: "Aren't you just playing tricks? I've granted you your wish, and I'd like to say something by the way..."

Tang Wei's heart pounded when he heard the previous sentence. He didn't hear what Qiao Rui said later. He looked at Long Xiang on the couch carefully, as if to say: Have we been exposed?

Long Xiang himself was also stunned, but when he heard "Your wish is granted", he knew that the secret was not revealed. He was afraid that Tang Hui would lose his temper, so he quickly answered: "I don't quite understand what the general meant..."

"Haha..." Qiao Rui stroked his beard and raised his head and laughed twice, and then explained: "Ji Ling was persuaded to return by shooting a halberd from the camp. Now all the Shouchun battalions and departments should know about it. Yun Qi has always been quick-thinking, so he must

I guess my lord is furious because of this and may send troops to retaliate against Lu Bu, so you want to get those twenty people from Xiapi back?"

Hearing what Qiaorui said, Tang Yui's heart dropped and his expression became relaxed.

Long Xiang on the couch smiled awkwardly: "I can't hide it from the general..."

Qiao Rui took out a cloth bag from his arms, handed it to Tang Hui and said: "There is no need to alarm others about this matter. I have already written a letter in my own hand. Find someone to send it to Xiapi as soon as possible. Han Yin should sell my favor."

.”

"only."

Tang Wei lowered his head and took it with both hands, thinking that the original plan was to send it away by himself. Does General Qiao consider this as "throwing himself into a trap"?

"Let's make arrangements now. I'll talk to Yun Qi."

Qiao Rui pushed Tang Hui away at this time, obviously wanting to say something to Long Xiang alone. How could Tang Hui at this age not understand, so he quickly bid farewell to the two of them with fists in his hands and left.

"General, do you have something to ask?"

"In the past few days since Ji Ling returned from withdrawing his troops, my lord has been in a bad mood every day. He scolded all the generals so much that they couldn't hold their heads up. Yesterday, General Zhang invited me for a drink and suggested that I ask my lord to fight against Lu Bu. I thought about it all night and hesitated. I thought of Yun

I have a quick mind, so I asked you for your opinion..."

After hearing this, Long Xiang thought for a while and then asked Qiao Rui a question.

"It is true that he defeated Liu Bei half a year ago, but the reason was that Lu Bu attacked Xiapi secretly. How does the general think Lu Bu compares with Liu Bei in terms of his military use?"

"Lü Bu's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world. He has generals Gao Shun and Zhang Liao as his assistants, as well as Chen Gong as his adviser. Whether we can win is yet to be seen..."

The reason why Qiao Rui hesitated was because he was completely unsure. Lu Bu had a record of defeating Cao Cao, but his side was defeated miserably in Kuangting that year, so he decided to compare the two.

"The reason why Liu Bei was defeated before was because Lu Bu made a sneak attack on Xiapi. If the general now asks Ying to attack Lu Bu, who will help you break the situation? The general thought that Lu Bu would leave a general to guard the rear."

"Lu Bu likes to sneak attack on other people's rear, and of course he will prevent others from sneaking on his own rear. The only advantage our side has is that Huainan has a stronger military, but we may not win with more people. It seems that Yunqi doesn't recommend asking for a battle?"

"It's not that the general doesn't suggest it, it's just that the time is not right now, or the general shouldn't take the lead in making the suggestion."

"Oh?" Qiao Rui heard the interest and moved the bed forward, moved it to the side of Long Xiang's couch and put it down, curiously asked: "How do you say it?"

Long Xiang blinked his eyes, stretched out his hand to show three fingers, and said: "There are three reasons. One is that General Ji returned without success. Although the lord scolded the generals, he was the most angry in his heart. The decision to send troops should be made by the lord.

;

Secondly, my lord has been using troops continuously this year, which not only consumes a lot of military rations, but also recruits many people to do corvee labor. The harvest in various places in Huainan is not expected to be very good. In addition, the weather has turned cold now, and the winter clothes of the soldiers may not be enough. It may be difficult to provide supplies for the troops in a hurry.

raise everything;

Third, although Lu Bu deliberately obstructed it, he did not openly turn against Huainan. If we take the initiative to send troops to Xuzhou, wouldn't we turn potential allies into enemies? My lord is probably still weighing the pros and cons."

After hearing this, Qiao Rui stood up and sighed: "Yun Qi is still thinking so clearly while lying on the hospital bed. You will have no limits in the future. I, the general, did not come here in vain today."

"The general is so complimentary. At the end of the day, the general is recovering from his illness and has nothing to do. He can only think wildly, and his analysis may not be correct." Long Xiang smiled modestly.

"I know what's right or wrong. You should take good care of your injuries first, and I will reuse you in the future." Qiao Rui said and got ready, but stopped when he reached the door, turned around and said, "By the way, if my lord becomes emperor in the future,

Will Sun Ce really rebel when the time comes? Sun Xiang is now the governor of Runan, and Wu Jing has been appointed the governor of Guangling. Sun Ce has relatives in the north of the Yangtze River, will he use the rat weapon?"

Long Xiang was slightly startled, then whispered perfunctorily: "Then the general doesn't know..."

Long Xiang doesn't care at all whether Sun Ce will leave Yuan Shu and stand on his own in Jiangdong like history did. He just wants to recuperate and wait until the time is right to live in Hefei.

"Well, you can rest."

After Qiao Rui finished speaking, he turned around and left, thinking that Long Xiang was only sixteen years old after all. Although this kid was a bit smart, he didn't know everything after all. She should remind her lord tactfully and transfer Sun Ce's relatives back to Shouchun as much as possible.

If Sun Ce has more worries, he may not do stupid things.

Yuan Shu's generals such as Qiao Rui had a very good impression of the young hero. Qiao Rui really couldn't bear that this man "went astray", so as an elder he could help him.

Tang Wei finished the task of delivering the message and deliberately waited for a while before returning to the camp. By that time, Qiao Rui had already left.

"Yunqi, I have already told you that I will leave for Xiapi later. It is a coincidence that General Qiao actually thought of going with you."

As soon as Tang Yi finished speaking, he picked up the water bowl on the table and drank a gulp of it.

Long Xiang murmured: "General Qiao has deep experience, so he can see clearly. After all, Xiapi is Lu Bu's territory. Are the people you send smart? Don't cause any problems."

"Don't worry Yunqi, he is a soldier I am accustomed to, and he is absolutely reliable in his work."

"Since it is absolutely reliable, my nephew suddenly has an idea. Uncle Hui will go and give instructions again."
