A large number of heavily armed iron horsemen surrounded Zhang Lang and drove into the city. The whole city was unusually quiet, except for the soldiers of Lu Bu's army, there was no one to be seen on the streets, the people who stayed in the city closed their doors and windows and did not dare to go out, and most of the people did not dare to return to the city because they could not cross the river, they were all trapped in the wilderness outside the city, not knowing what to do.

Zhang Lang reined in his horse and issued a series of orders on the street, and the officers took the order. Zhang Lang came to the Wucheng Marquis Mansion surrounded by everyone, which was originally Liu Biao's Thorn History Mansion, and after Liu Bei occupied the governance, it was changed to Liu Bei's General's Mansion, and later Sun Jian stayed in Jingzhou, and it was changed to the Wucheng Marquis Mansion, and now I am afraid that the name will be changed here.

The sergeants guarding the Marquis Mansion of Wucheng saw Zhang Lang coming, and they bowed down one after another.

Zhang Lang and his entourage went straight to the lobby.

Ma Chao came out and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, Sun Jian and all the families of the civil and military officials of the Jiangdong Army have fled to Jiangdong, and the cavalry of the last general only has time to intercept the people of Xiangyang!" ”

"When I entered the city today, I found that the city was very quiet, haven't those ordinary people returned to the city yet?"

Ma Chao said: "There are hundreds of thousands of people who stay in the wilderness outside the city with their families, thinking that they should be afraid of us, but there is nowhere to go." Because the general strictly ordered not to harass the people, the last general did not take action against them. ”

Zhang Lang frowned and said: "Sun Jian has been pouring sewage on us, and the people don't understand the truth, they must think that we are all demon kings who kill people without blinking, so they are afraid!" "Look up at Zhang Liao," Wen Yuan. ”

Zhang Liao came out and responded: "The end will be." ”

"Go out of the city at once, and persuade the people outside the city to return to the city, and explain our policy. Remember, whether they want to come back or not, don't use force. ”

Zhang Liao clenched his fists and promised, ready to leave.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Lang stopped him. Zhang Liao turned around, clenched his fists and asked, "What else does the lord command?" ”

Zhang Lang walked up to Zhang Liao, "Prepare more food to bring over, I think those ordinary people must be tired and hungry now!" ”

Zhang Liao responded and left.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "The moment General Wenyuan arrives with food, presumably the misunderstanding of the common people about us will immediately dissolve!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "I hope so!" Hey, this parent is really not good! ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "However, the lord is the best!" ”

Zhang Lang laughed, "That's good, it's comfortable to listen to!" ”

Everyone in the hall laughed.

Zhang Lang suddenly frowned, and said worriedly: "What I'm most worried about now is the situation in Luoyang!" It has been several days since I last received a report from Luoyang, but there has been no report from Luoyang! My heart is up and down! ...... "Zhang Lang is worried that Luoyang has been broken by Cao's army?" Thinking of this, Zhang Lang's heart was very uneasy.

The generals couldn't help but worry. Ma Chao hugged his fists and said: "Lord, let's march to Luoyang immediately!" The generals chimed in.

Zhang Lang looked at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang hugged his fists and said: "The lord doesn't need to worry too much!" If Luoyang City is broken, it will never be as unheard from as it is now! I guess the current situation should be that Cao's army is besieging the city on all sides, and the defenders of Luoyang can't get in touch with us! ”

Zhang Lang felt that what Zhuge Liang said made sense, and nodded. Asked Zhuge Liang: "I want to leave Wen Yuan and his Tiger Wing Legion to garrison Xiangyang, and the rest of the armies will immediately follow my back, what does Kong Ming think?" ”

Zhuge Liang pondered: "Wenyuan is loyal and cautious, and he is brave, and it is most suitable to garrison Xiangyang!" However, you need to be cautious when going north to Luoyang! Chao Zhang Lang hugged his fist, "Lord, you and I both know that Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others are all as deep as the sea!" Presumably, they have already learned about the situation in Xiangyang, how can they be unprepared? After a pause, "I estimate that Cao Cao is very likely to set up a plan to besiege the city and send reinforcements, so you must guard against it!" ”

Zhang Lang nodded.

Zhuge Liang said: "You can let the Blue Wolf Legion enter Nanyang first, divided into three teams to attack north, the purpose of the Blue Wolf Legion is not to attack Nanyang City, but to sweep the Cao Army troops and scouts outside Nanyang City, knock out their eyes, and serve as an outpost for our army to go north!" After a pause, "Because Sun Jian's side was defeated too quickly, the Cao army did not have time to adjust the deployment, and now the Cao army in Nanyang has only 50,000 soldiers and horses, and our army should capture Nanyang in one go, posing a threat to the flank of the main force of the Cao army, so that the pressure on Luoyang will inevitably be greatly reduced, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack, and strive to drive the Cao army out of the tiger prison." ”

Zhang Lang nodded; "Good! Kong Ming's plan is very good, just do it! Looking at Ma Chao, "Meng Qi, you immediately lead the Blue Wolf Legion across the river to the north." ”

Ma Chao hugged his fists and left in a hurry.

Zhang Lang glanced at the generals, "All the armies are ready to go. The generals agreed in unison.

More than 500,000 people of Xiangyang gathered in the mountains and forests west of Xiangyang City, and everyone was faced with confused people, crying and whimpering, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of unease and hesitation. A baby was crying in her mother's arms, she was hungry, and the young mother was coaxing but could not do anything, she had been hungry for a long time, and there was no milk for the child to eat. There was a sudden commotion ahead, followed by the cries of the old men, and I saw two strong men in ragged clothes snatching the dry food of an old couple and gobbling it there, and the two old men were knocked down behind them and cried helplessly. A large group of strong men rushed forward and fought with the two strong men, and the scene was chaotic.

"Oh no! Lu Bujun is here! Someone shouted.

Hundreds of thousands of people were in an uproar, and the scene was filled with an atmosphere of extreme unease. Looking up into the distance, I saw a knight who looked like a general galloping towards him, and the other military horses stopped in the distance. When the people saw that only one person had come, their panicked hearts calmed down a lot.

The knight galloped among the people and reined in his horse. Hundreds of thousands of people stared at him, and the scene was silent.

The knight glanced at the people around him, and shouted with his eyes: "My name is Zhang Liao, and I am the chief general of the Tiger Wing Legion under the command of the general!" ”

When the people heard this, they were all taken aback and showed fear, and many people whispered about it, and the scene was buzzing.

Zhang Liao pointed to the sergeants in the distance behind him, "My lord knows that everyone has been hungry for a long time, so he specially ordered me to bring food!" Don't be afraid, everything Sun Jian said to you is false! In order to save the people who were taken away by the Xianbei Huns, thousands of iron horsemen fought in the grassland, you must have heard of this, how could we slaughter the people?! ”

There was a commotion at the scene, and many people believed Zhang Liao's words.

Zhang Liao raised his voice and said: "Those who are strong come with me to help carry dry food porridge." Then he galloped back.

The people looked at each other, and as a few young men left the crowd to catch up with Zhang Liao, more and more people rushed towards the place where the army was.
