"That's right, thank you."

Before Zhang Liao could finish speaking, he heard from the guards in the courtyard behind him: "General Long, the Chief of the County Lu and the Governor Liu arrived."

"General Long, did you also hire Governor Liu?" Zhang Liaoqing couldn't help but dodge forward.

Zhang Liao had already found out about Liu Fu being captured and taken back to Hefei through Qin Yilu. He originally thought that Long Xiang had arranged it properly. At this time, the two of them were both Tianya people, and the meeting of "colleagues" was very embarrassing.

Zhang Liao didn't want to face Liu Fu in Hefei, and Liu Fu didn't want Zhang Liao to see him.

At this time, Lu Su brought Liu Fu to the door. Zhang Liao took preconceived ideas for a moment, thinking that Long Xiang was embarrassing him.

Unexpectedly, Long Xiang pointed to the inner hall of the palace and said, "Wenyuan doesn't have to worry. I have a sense of my own affairs. You can wait in the inner hall first, and then reminisce with you after sending Liu Fu."

"Yeah, that's fine."

Zhang Liao didn't know what to sell in Longxiang's gourd, but in order to avoid the embarrassment of meeting Liu Fu, he took several big steps towards the inner hall.

Looking at the hurried back, Long Xiang lamented that Zhang Liao was not easy to live.

The interpersonal situation in Cao's camp is quite complicated. Zhang Liao's ability to achieve this as a surrendered general depends entirely on his carefulness and high emotional intelligence.

On the other hand, Hefei does not have aristocratic families, and Longxiang does not have the privilege of using clan personnel, and there is no need to balance various interests. It is purely to build Hefei to maintain energy and accumulate energy, so all the officials under his command live a comfortable life.

Standing there in a daze for a while, Lu Su brought Liu Fu into the palace to meet him.

When Long Xiang saw Liu Fu for the second time, he found that the other party was much more haggard, and guessed that the other party was under great psychological pressure to be captured.

"Governor Liu, are you safe?"

"If you act hypocritical, you should kill and cut it? You will listen to the emperor."

Liu Fu remembered that he had worked in Hefei and was determined to speak well on the way, but when he saw Long Xiang's playful tone, his answer still seemed stiff.

Long Xiang signaled Liu Fu to sit down and said with a smile: "Governor Liu and I are old acquaintances. It is not appropriate to shout and fight and kill as soon as we meet? You should know that Long is a pragmatic person. I asked you to come for something to discuss."

"What's up?"

Liu Fu frowned and thought to himself that I am a prisoner, so why should I discuss?

Whatever you want to do, can't you do whatever you want?

Long Xiong leaned forward slightly and asked meaningfully: "It is actually a misunderstanding that I sent troops to capture Shouchun. Do you believe it?"

"Can this be called a misunderstanding?"

Liu Fu opened his eyes wide and implicitly mocked Long Xiang for being thick-skinned, then sneered: "The Long Prefect doesn't need to explain. As the saying goes, the king will succeed, the enemy will lose, and I have nothing to say."

"Although the explanation is pale, I still want to explain it briefly. In fact, this time I sent troops to Shouchun was instigated by Jiangdong."

Long Xiang's words were made up for a moment. He didn't care whether Liu Fu believed it or not. As long as the other party brought the news back to Xu Du, it could become a confusing information and lay the groundwork for the subsequent words.

"Hmph." Liu Fu hummed twice and murmured: "Why should Prefect Long explain to the prisoners? Whatever you say is what you say."

Long Xiang ignored Liu Fu's cold eyes and continued to explain: "I had no intention of offending Cao Sikong, but after being trapped, I made a big mistake. In addition, I have been in Shouchun for several years and have special feelings for that city. There are also many people from Shouchun who come from Shouchun, and many of them are attached to the old land. In view of this, I simply make mistakes."

"Love in my hometown?"

Liu Fuxin said that your excuse was really perfunctory, and then she teased: "Prince Long is not old, but his mentality is like an old man. I hope you can take it and guard it."

"The situation in Huainan is different from that in the Central Plains. I have accumulated experience in Hefei for several years and am confident that I can manage Shouchun well. Since the Shouchun tree has been completed, I want to be recognized by the court. In fact, I invited Governor Liu today for this purpose."

Long Xiang finished speaking seriously, and Liu Fu finally understood what he meant. It turned out that the other party was dreaming in front of him daytime, so he shook his head and smiled slightly, leaving a four-word comment.

"You really dare to think about it!"

"Only by daring to think and fight, you can succeed."

Long Xiang slapped his thigh and stood up, looked Liu Fu up and down, and then added: "In addition to Governor Liu, General Zhang Wenyuan has also obtained it for me. Now he plans to let you go back to Xudu and express his feelings to the court for me, but hesitate to let him go."

Because Long Xiong's voice was not small, Zhang Liao in the inner hall was shocked, but immediately realized that this was not that simple, so he held the wall and pressed his ears to continue eavesdropping.

After hearing this, Liu Fu thought about it and guessed that Long Xiang was playing tricks, so he frowned and asked, "Since General Long has this intention, why don't we leave together? Then everyone can work together, and maybe your dreams will come true."

"That won't work." Long Xiang flatly refused and then gave an explanation: "If you let it go, who will do anything for me?"

Liu Fu now understood that Long Xiang was planning to take hostages, and immediately asked: "General Long killed General Li and so many soldiers in Huainan, which is equivalent to betraying the court. It is difficult for you to deal with it."

Long Xiang smiled leisurely and said playfully: "It's difficult to deal with it? Only by trying to deal with it can you see your ability. Governor Liu is the head of a state, and he is closer to the court than General Zhang, so I'll talk to you first, if you don't want to."

"I do, I do."

Liu Fu immediately agreed, thinking that Xu Du was better than staying, and Cao Cao decided whether he could die or not. Anyway, the fellow Taoist was not dead, but he couldn't help but ask: "If this matter is not done well, I don't know that General Zhang."

"Sit down and talk."

Long Xiang took a hand, smiled and sat down first, and said seriously: "Even if I can't do this, I won't detain Hefei for a long time. However, General Zhang has hundreds of divisions, and leaving will cost a certain amount of money."

“What’s the price?”

Liu Fu, who was questioning in the hall and Zhang Liao, who was eavesdropping in the hall, were very concerned about the price.

Long Xiang stared at Liu Fu and smiled, explaining: "Does Governor Liu remember the misunderstanding? Hefei has a system of using labor to repay crimes. If General Zhang and his troops do a good job, maybe I will release them according to their performance."

After hearing this, Liu Fu swallowed his saliva, and the past of moving bricks and burning kilns suddenly appeared in his mind.

Under the nickname of "Kiln Governor", he was in front of others for a long time and couldn't raise his head. Thinking of the scene of Zhang Liao moving bricks and making ashes, Liu Fu suddenly felt a little guilty towards him.

Just as Liu Fu recalled the past, the sound of dragon soaring came from his ears.

"General Zhang and his troops are soldiers. If there is any war between Hefei and Jiangdong in the future, they can also help me retreat to the enemy. It will count on how to replace labor with military achievements."

"That's fine?"

Liu Fu showed an incredible expression.

"I was born in Hanwei and never saw the world. I finally won a battle. Isn't it too much to get some benefits?" Long Xiang looked as if he was taken for granted.

"Uh" Liu Fu shook his head: "It's not too much"

Seeing that Liu Fu agreed to his plan, Long Xiang looked at Lu Su and instructed: "Zijing, I will leave you with full authority to arrange the matter of governor Liu back to Xudu. He was frightened in Shouchun. Have you arranged a banquet to suppress the shock?"

“It’s not too late”

"That's a matter of arrangement. Ni Zhengping seems to have a good relationship with governor Liu. Remember to call him as a companion."

"I can save it"

“No need, no need.”

Liu Fu hurriedly refused and added, "If General Long really wants to let me go, can he arrange it as soon as possible? There is no need to hold a banquet to suppress shock, I can set off now."

Zhang Liaoquan, who was hiding in the inner hall, understood that Long Xiang called Liu Fu today to give himself a reassurance.

Zhang Liao sighed secretly that Long Xiang is not old but skillful. It would be great if he was not an opponent.
