Early the next morning, in the early morning mist, the scouts saw Yuan Shao's army retreating from camp! The scout immediately returned to the Tiger Prison.

Zhang Lang hurriedly climbed the city gate tower and looked out of the city, at this time the fog was thick, and he dimly saw that Yuan Shao's army seemed to be retreating. Ma Chao pleaded: "General, let me lead the army to beat him!" Zhang Lang patted him on the shoulder, "There's no need!" Let the soldiers stay in the city for a long time, what should they do? "Yes."

The sun is rising, the fog is going up, and you can already see it clearly, Yuan Shao's army is indeed retreating!

Zhang Lang looked at Yuan Shao's army that was retreating north and smiled slightly.

Two days later, Huang Yueying led the main force to arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass. Zhang Lang left Huang Zhong and 20,000 infantry troops to garrison the Tiger Pass, and led the rest of the army to return to Luoyang.

Luoyang, the largest city today, is probably also the largest city in the world. The prosperous Luoyang fell into the hands of Zhang Lang intact. However, although Zhang Lang got Luoyang, he didn't seem to have won the hearts of the people living here. The procession marched down the street, the street was bleak, the doors and windows of the shops on both sides were closed, the whole Luoyang city was unpleasant, and the air was full of suspicion, fear and hatred.

Zhang Lang walked into Yuan Shao's mansion, this mansion where Dong Zhuo once lived was very large, the pavilions and pavilions were magnificent, the small bridges and flowing water, the green bamboo and green mountains were beautiful, it can be described as a fairyland on earth, a pure land of pleasure. Zhang Lang walked to the top, sat down, and said with a smile: "Not long ago, Yuan Shao was still sitting here!" The generals laughed, and Cao Xuan said loudly: "How can Yuan Shao be qualified to do this position!" In this position, only the general sits! ”

Zhang Lang nodded with his finger, "Pat my ass!" But I was very comfortable shooting! ”

The generals burst out laughing. Huang Yueying hugged her fists and said: "Big brother, although Luoyang has received it completely, the people's hearts are not attached!" The top priority should be to win hearts and minds! ”

Ma Chao said loudly: "The last general thought that he would immediately search and kill those remnants of Yuan Shao!" ”

Huang Yueying hurriedly said: "No! In this way, Luoyang will be in chaos! Our army has just entered Luoyang, and its foothold is not stable, if it is wantonly hunted at this time, it will be unfavorable to our army! ”

Ma Chao said angrily: "Do you want to let those remnants of Yuan Shao go free?" They will definitely play a tune with Yuan Shao'an, which is not good for us! You can't wait for them to do something before you deal with it! ”

Huang Yueying said: "There is some truth in what the general said, but he only knows one and doesn't know the other!" First of all, most of the so-called Yuan Shao's henchmen were actually just forced to do so; Second, even if those Yuan Shao's henchmen want to be unfavorable to us, we can't just rely on his past interactions with Yuan Shao to search for and arrest without evidence, which will only make the people chill and fear, and it will be very unfavorable to us and our rule in Luoyang! Even if you want to do it, you have to have hard evidence! Admittedly, these people are likely to be bad for us, but we must not kill them because of this possibility, and the results of this will outweigh the benefits. ”

Ma Chao felt that what Huang Yueying said was reasonable, although he was unwilling to let those people go like this, he didn't say anything.

Zhang Lang smiled: "What Yueying said is very much in line with me!" He raised his head and said to Cao Xing: "Cao Xing, immediately take people to the streets and alleys to post notices for the people!" "No." Cao Xuan clenched his fists and left the hall.

"General Ma Teng, you go to the treasury immediately, open the warehouse and release grain, I see that there are not a few homeless beggars in this city!"

Ma Teng took the order and left in a hurry.

Turning his gaze to Huang Yueying's face, Huang Yueying smiled and said, "Big brother, I'll sort out Yuan Shao's official documents and files here." ”

Zhang Lang smiled and nodded.

Xuchang.

Cao Cao looked at the report he had just received, his brows furrowed, "I didn't expect it!" That's how it ended. Standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking out of the window, he was stunned.

Guo Jia came in, glanced at Cao Cao, and walked over gently. "My lord."

Cao Cao retracted his thoughts and sighed, "I didn't expect that I would compete with Yuan Shao and the snipe clam , but it was Lu Bu who became a fisherman!" Guo Jia frowned and said, "I didn't expect this section either!" Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao's nearly 300,000 troops garrisoned Luoyang, Hangu Pass, and Shouyang Mountain, and the entire army was wiped out in such a short time! ”

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, "Yes! I didn't expect Yuan Shao to be such a waste! After a pause, he frowned and said, "I'm very worried about Lu Bu!" This person is more of a threat than ten Yuan Shao! I'm wondering if I should join forces with Yuan Shao and destroy Lu Bu first! ”

Guo Jia was silent for a moment, "Lord, I thought that Yuan Shao should be killed first, and then compete with Lu Bu!" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, "Oh? Why does Feng Xiao say this? ”

"First, it is impossible for us and Yuan Shao to work together to deal with Lu Bu, just like when the eastern countries dealt with the strong Qin, it is impossible to work together, once the progress is not smooth, they will retreat one by one, and once it is advantageous, they will compete for power and profit with each other, the eastern countries have united for decades, but the Qin State is getting stronger and stronger!"

Cao Cao thought about it and nodded, "Then, what does it mean to be filial piety?" ”

Guo Jia pondered: "You can all the main forces stationed in Xuchang, so that Lu Bu will not dare to transfer the main force out of Luoyang." Sun Jian in the south is storming Xiangyang, as long as no one intervenes, Xiangyang Liu Bei will be destroyed by Sun Jian! Sun Jian, who occupied Xiangyang, directly threatened Nanyang and Hanzhong, and Lü Bu had to turn his attention to the south! We can take this opportunity to fight Yuan Shao! ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, "Okay!" Feng Xiao's words made me suddenly enlightened! Hahaha! It seems that Lu Bu defeated Yuan Shao, and it is not necessarily all bad! The state smiled and nodded.

Yuan Shao, who retreated to Jizhou, was unwilling to fail, and actively planned a counterattack on Luoyang, and the generals and materials were all assembled.

Look back.

Zhang Lang sat in the hall of the Great General's Mansion, looking at the report he had just received, his brows furrowed. The General's Mansion was Yuan Shao's mansion before, and it used to be Dong Zhuo's mansion before, but now it has changed its third owner.

Zhang Lang put down the report and frowned: "Yuan Shao's thief is not dead, I believe that it will not be long before he will counterattack Luoyang, and Cao Cao has set up hundreds of thousands of heavy troops in Xuchangtun, obviously with ill intentions!" He glanced up at Huang Yueying, who had a thoughtful look on her face, "Yueying, do you think our current army in Luoyang is enough?" ”

Huang Yueying pondered: "If you consider it according to the worst-case scenario, it is not enough. But I don't think it's that simple! ”

Zhang Lang said: "No matter what, you have to increase your troops in Luoyang!" In addition, I also plan to expand the army and add a new Luoyang Legion! What does Yueying think? ”

Huang Yueying pondered: "With the current financial resources, there should be no problem!" ”

"Okay, that's it!"
