Zhang Lang appeased Wu Yi and came to the lobby of the governance office. asked Zhuge Liang: "How many people are left in the Pingnan Army?" ”

Zhuge Liang said with a sad face: "There are only more than 20,000 people who have not died. ”

Zhang Lang couldn't help but feel distressed, they were all soldiers under him.

Zhuge Liang asked: "The general is coming, can the situation in the north be arranged?" Zhang Lang said: "Don't worry, Bingzhou has already made arrangements." Now that the Karasuma people have been defeated, it is impossible to threaten us in the short term, and Yuan Shao is too busy to take care of himself, and the Huguan has fallen into our hands, and the state is safe. I have left Zhang Liao and the Tiger Wing Legion to sit in the state, and let Yingying and Chen Gong temporarily manage all civil affairs in the state. ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, "Chen Gong? Chen Gong Chen Gongtai? ”

Zhang Lang nodded and said with a smile: "It's him." This guy is not simple, before my people arrived, he actually commanded the militia of the village and town to eliminate the Karasuma cavalry team! ”

Zhuge Liang hugged his fists and said: "Congratulations to the general for getting another Magi." ”

Zhang Lang smiled and asked, "Kong Ming knows him?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, "Gongtai is a rare virtuous person in the world!" Zhang Lang smiled slightly. Walked to the map, looked at it for a moment, frowned and muttered: "This battle is really hard enough, my two major armies are almost exhausted!" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh, "How can there be anyone who doesn't pay the price for dominating the world!" Fortunately, Sun Jian, they didn't succeed! Zhang Lang nodded and turned around, "The Pingnan Army and the Leopard Tao Army must be rebuilt immediately!" Kong Ming, this matter is up to you, and the Long Tao Legion and the Blue Wolf Legion will stay where they are during this time. "No."

Zhang Lang moved his gaze to Chengdu, frowned, and said coldly: "Some people think that we will be defeated and cooperate with the enemy!" It's a pity, God doesn't fulfill people's wishes! ”

Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "General Huang Zhong said before that the reason why Linjiang was lost in a short period of time was mainly because of the collusion between the local scholars and Sun Jian!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled bitterly: "It seems that I can't wait for the hearts of the scholars!" ”

Zhuge Liang hung his head and didn't say anything. "By the way, the general, Fa Zheng has arrested all the scholars involved in the plot in Chengdu. What the general wants to do with them. ”

Zhang Lang said lightly: "Since they want to be our enemies, why should I be a woman's kindness." All the warriors involved in the plot have raided their homes! As for the personnel, just put them in jail! Zhuge Liang said: "Since the matter has come to this, my subordinates think that they should make an example of each other!" Zhang Lang glanced at him, "What does Kong Ming mean ......?" Zhuge Liang said: "Since ancient times: the crime of great rebellion is unforgivable, since these scholars participated in the rebellion, they should be punished!" ”

Zhang Lang was a little surprised, in his impression, Zhuge Liang should be a very smart and kind person! Immediately, Zhang Lang understood that in such a troubled world, he should be ruthless when he should be ruthless, otherwise he will inevitably cause greater losses in the future, which is probably the so-called ruthlessness of great love!

Zhang Lang nodded slowly, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Just like this, send a message to Chengdu, and ask the law to be implemented immediately!" Zhuge Liang hugged his fist at Zhang Lang and left the hall.

As soon as Zhou Yu retreated, he retreated to Shangyong City, ordered all departments to be vigilant and rest on the spot, and at the same time ordered someone to summon Sun Jian's side.

A few days later, Sun Jian received a summons from Zhou Yu. After reading it, I was disappointed, put down the letter, and said with a look of chagrin: "I wasted countless money and food, sacrificed more than 200,000 soldiers, and actually only stood in two small places, Kuimen and Shangyong!" Damn it! All the generals also had a depressed look on their faces. Sun Jian thought about it for a while, and felt that the matter had come to this point, and it was just a waste of money and food to go if he didn't go, so he ordered all the armies to retreat to Xiangyang, leaving only an elite of 20,000 people to guard Kuimen. At the same time, someone was sent to Zhou Yu to give the order to withdraw the troops. After Zhou Yu received the order, he left 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Shangyong, and the army withdrew to Xiangyang. A huge westward expansion war came to an end.

Zhang Lang went to Chengdu under the escort of hundreds of guards, and before dusk that day, a group of hundreds of people came to the plank road near the Sword Pavilion. This plank road is extremely steep, one side is the abyss rolling river, the other side is straight and steep cliffs, a group of people carefully walk on the plank road.

After walking through this section of the steep plank road, I came to a relatively gentle ground, here is a river on the left, a dense forest on the right, and the dangerous peaks in the distance are towering through the clouds and fog, and the city of the Sword Pavilion is already in sight.

Suddenly, dozens of arrows shot out of the woods on the right, all of which flew towards Zhang Lang. Zhang Lang was shocked to see it, and as soon as he saw the red rabbit horse, he waved the Fang Tian Painting Halberd violently, and an arrow was immediately swept down. The tiger guards reacted, their faces changed, some of them immediately surrounded Zhang Lang, and the other part quickly drove their horses towards the woods.

Rushing into the woods, there were no dozens of black-clothed people, and the tiger guards immediately rushed forward brandishing their war swords. Seeing this, the men in black hurriedly dropped their bows and turned to flee. The Tiger Ben Guards caught up and slashed with a swing of their knives, most of the people in black were cut to the ground when they saw it, and the rest of the people in black could not escape, and they were all captured alive.

The nine black-clothed men were escorted to Zhang Lang by the Tiger Ben Guards and knelt down. The nine black-clothed men glared angrily at Zhang Lang, without the slightest hint of fear.

Zhang Lang asked, "Who are you?" Why kill me? ”

One of the black-clothed men who seemed to be the leader struggled to stand up, but was stopped by the tiger guards behind him, and the man yelled at Zhang Lang: "Lu Bu, you butcher, three domestic slaves, everyone will be punished!" We want to avenge the victims in Chengdu! ”

Zhang Lang suddenly realized, "It turns out that you want to avenge those scholars!" Hehe! ”

The man in black shouted: "You are full of blood, God will not let you go!" You're not going to end well! ”

Zhang Lang asked lightly: "What about the three thousand people who were slaughtered by those scholars?" ”

The man in black shouted: "That's all your lackeys, you are innocent of death!" ”

Zhang Lang sneered: "My people are innocent of death, and those scholars will cause anger and resentment when they die!" It's fun! The man in black shouted, "Lu Bu, if I don't die, I will come to kill you again!" Zhang Lang said to Yang Kun: "Kill everyone else!" Yang Kun was already furious, and as soon as he heard the order, he immediately ordered the troops to move, only to see the knife in his hand fall, and the eight heads immediately rolled down.

The man in black was shocked and scolded angrily: "Lu Bu, you can kill me too!" ”

Zhang Lang leaned on the horse's neck and smiled: "I won't kill you." He sat up and shouted, "Let him go." The army was very puzzled, but the general did not dare to disobey his words and let go of the man in black.
