Before Long Xiang could react, Tang Xun at the door suddenly tense up and his right hand was unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the sword. At this time, they were in Cao Cao's control area, and if there was a slight mistake, they would be doomed.

Long Xiong in the room was relatively calm. He looked at Xu Ding with thick eyebrows and big eyes opposite him and asked in a pretentious manner:

"Why did Mr. Xu say this?"

"If you were Cao Cao's soldiers, weren't there any doctor in the army? Even if you look for a doctor in the nearby Zhendian, you wouldn't walk for a few days, and it would drag the wound to ulceration and incurable treatment.

In addition, the hot summer has passed, and it is not too late to be buried for several months. What busy military affairs do you have to send the head general back to your hometown..."

"No need to say more..."

Long Xiang reached out to interrupt Xu Ding, thinking that in ancient times, there were illiterate people everywhere. Judging from your appearance as big and thick, I thought it was simple, but I didn't expect to meet "Di Renjie".

Tang Xu was worried that Long Xiong would be in danger, so he rushed into the house quickly.

"Brother, don't be impatient."

While Long Xiang stopped Tang Feng, he turned around and clasped his fists to Xu Ding, and admitted generously: "Xu Zhuangshi is right. We are indeed not Cao Bing. Are you planning to sue the official?"

"Haha, sue the official? I came diligently when I paid the food. No one cared about the life or death when the Yellow Turbans were in trouble. Our village began to be self-sufficient a few years ago..."

Xu Ding smiled and shook his head, then asked again: "I heard that Cao Cao was fighting against Yuan Shu, do you know what territory is here?"

When Long Xiang heard Xu Ding say this, he frowned and stretched his brows slightly. He shook his head gently and replied tentatively: "It should be the northern part of Peiguo?"

"This is the junction between the southeast of Qiao County and Qing County. Cao Cao's hometown is also our Qiao County. Are you planning to attack the Cao family?"

When Xu Ding spoke, he looked at Long Xiang up and down, thinking that if he really had such a plan, it would undoubtedly be a way to seek death.

After hearing this, Long Xiang turned his head and looked at Tang Xu, and both of them looked extremely surprised.

Unexpectedly, I avoided the Lord's Way and rushed to the "thief's nest" for some reason.

Qiao County is not only the hometown of the Cao Cao tribe, but also the hometown of the Xiahou tribe.

Tang Xu had a pair of dark eyes, and the words "finished" seemed to be written inside.

"No, we failed in the battle in Qi County, lost our way when we broke through, and came here in a daze. In fact, we were planning to return to Huainan..." Long Xiang said with a bitter look.

After listening to it, Xu Ding thought for a while and suddenly said solemnly:

“Since you have arrived here, it is not easy to return to Huainan safely. I admire General Long’s loyalty and righteousness very much;

The soldiers under the general are also good soldiers who abide by military discipline. Instead of escaping back to Huainan for a lifetime, why not stay in our village?"

Long Xiang immediately declined: "The soldiers and their families are all in Huainan, how can they hide here to survive? Besides, you were also present last night, and General Qiao's children still need to take care of me. I left here and I have to bear the trust..."

"Family? When the war is over, Isn't it the best of both worlds to pick it up secretly in Huainan?

I heard that Yuan Shu had a long time ago, and he was afraid that he would not be able to be compatible with the princes in the world. General Long followed him and had no future..."

Xu Ding continued to persuade him with both hardness and softness.

The news spread slowly in troubled times. Xu Ding didn't know that it was normal for Yuan Shu to be emperor, but his unjust intention had spread to the people. It seemed that Yuan Shu had a bad reputation in the Central Plains.

Long Xiang still shook his head after hearing this. He turned his head and looked at Tang Xu, and then explained: "General Qiao has kindness to us. Now he has died because of the war, and we have lost the meaning of loyalty to Yuan Shu..."

"That's not right..."

"Xu Zhuangshi didn't know the specific situation. We have one or two thousand family members in Huainan, and one or two hundred brothers waiting. Thousands of people are afraid that they cannot migrate easily."

Xu Ding originally wanted to keep Longxiang because he believed that adding more than a hundred young and strong people in the village would make the village more capable of gaining a foothold in troubled times.

Now Long Xiang said that thousands of families were coming, and his heart immediately started to stir up.

It is barely enough to support more than a hundred people. If thousands of families are added to the elderly and young, Xu Ding really cannot make decisions for all the villagers.

"General Long is not planning to be loyal to Yuan Shu, that's because he wants..." Xu Ding wanted to speak but stopped.

Long Xiang replied: "Although Yuan Shu is not a wise ruler, Cao Cao who slaughtered Xuzhou is not a good person, so when we returned to Huainan, we planned to live in seclusion."

"Well said."

Xu Ding was deeply moved and echoed: "The princes and powerful men fought against each other, and the people always suffered. Therefore, our village was self-reliant, but is the king's land under the world? Unless we run to the barren mountains and ridges to avoid disaster, but the land in that place is poor and can support so many people?"

Long Xiang nodded affirmatively: "I found an empty city in Huainan. There is a lot of fertile soil around the empty city. When we go back, we will take our families here and learn to rely on Xu Village to rely on ourselves. In short, how long can we avoid it..."

"There are such good places in Huainan..." Xu Ding scratched his temples.

Tang Xu was worried that Long Xiang would let go and interrupted:

"Ahem, Yunqi, since we have arrived in Qiao County by mistake, you have to talk to the soldiers about plans and you will have to travel far tomorrow morning..."

“What Bo said is.”

Long Xiang immediately reacted, he clasped his fists and asked Xu Ding:

"I wonder if there is a map of Qiao County in Guicun? I want to borrow it to discuss the route home."

Xu Ding nodded and smiled and said, "You really asked the right person. Xu's family happened to have a map of Zhangqiao County, but he just called you Yunqi, is it your name?"

"Yes."

"It sounds good, Xu's name is Bo'an. Since we are friends, we shouldn't have a relationship. I will call you Yunqi in the future, and don't call me a hero. I'll go and get the map now."

"Thank you Bo'an."

"Yunqi, you have to be polite. Actually, I also want to know how you escaped from the tiger's mouth."

After Xu Ding said that, he turned around and walked into the back hall, and soon got a sheepskin map.

Looking at the old appearance of the sheepskin, Long Xiang knew that the map had experienced vicissitudes.

There was no technology for moving mountains and reclamation in ancient times, and there would be almost no major changes in the geographical landscape. Even if the sheepskin map was left for hundreds of years, it would have great reference value for Longxiong.

Xu Ding spread the map on the table, clearly marked the towns, villages, and roads, and also outlined the direction of mountains, rivers and rivers.

"Yun Qi, have you thought of a solution?" Tang Xu also came up.

Long Xiang frowned and pondered hard. In order to avoid encountering Cao Cao's army, he could only give up the broad main road, but he opened up thorns and walked the path without supplies. Even if he ate all the twelve horses, it would be difficult to get out of the encirclement.

what to do?

Long Xiang's eyes suddenly fell on the river beside Qiao County, so he pointed at the river and asked Xu Ding:

"Boan, where does this river lead to? Can there be a pier to take a boat?"

Xu Ding explained while gesturing: "This river is called Guoshui. It connects to the Langtang Canal of Fule, Chen Guo, and flows to the southeast and passes through Runan County, and finally merges into the Huai River. Qiao County and Chengfu County are all ships when they come and go. What do you ask about this?"

"Haha, God helps me."

Long Xiang was overjoyed when he heard this. He was rushed to Qi County by Cao's army and had also crossed the water (now Wohe, Anhui).
