Chapter 527: Preparing for the Expedition

Yan Xing sneered: "Could it be that Cao Pi thinks that with sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, he can resist the attack of our army? ”

Jia Xu pondered: "The strong men under the rule of the Cao family have all been mobilized, so the guards in Yuzhou should exceed 150,000. Xu Huang said: "Even if it is 150,000, our army only needs to transfer two legions to take Yuzhou within a month!" Zhang Lang and the generals nodded thoughtfully. Zhang Lang looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, I think this is a great opportunity. Jia Xu hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates also think that this is a great opportunity, but they always feel a little unsteady." ……”

Zhang Lang showed a puzzled look, "Why?" ”

Jia Xu said: "It stands to reason that we are now the biggest threat to Cao Pi, why did he transfer the army here?" ”

Zhang Lang said with a smile: "He must think that we are already quite tired from fighting again and again, and besides, Sun Jian's threat this time is indeed extraordinary, 500,000 land and water troops, if Cao Pi is not careful, there will be a big mess!" I don't think there's anything strange about Cao Pi's actions, and we shouldn't be too cautious and make a move when it's time to do it. Jia Xu nodded.

Zhang Lang saw that Jia Xu had no opinion, so he ordered Ma Chao and Huang Zhong to prepare for an attack and closely monitor Yuzhou's every move, but to maintain restraint and not let the Cao army on the cosmic side discover his intentions prematurely; In addition, he ordered Nanyang, Luoyang, and Xichuan to prepare military rations and transport them to Nanyang for storage in case of emergency, so that the official warehouse in Xuchang was ready to transport military wives and wait for orders at any time; Jia Xu was appointed as the governor of Xudu, in charge of Xudu's important military and political affairs.

The order was given, and everyone clenched their fists in agreement. Zhang Lang asked everyone to get busy, and everyone bowed down and retired.

……

Zhang Lang returned to the back, and saw Sun Ren sitting in front of the moon cave window from a distance to make up, there was really a moving style of 'the waiter helped up the delicate and weak, and it was the beginning of the new inheritance of grace', which was very different from the temperament of the usual sonorous roses, a little less wild, but a little more charming.

Zhang Lang's heart swelled with infinite tenderness and walked over.

……

Sun Jian personally commanded an army of 500,000 to break through Cao's defense of Chaohu and besiege Hefei. When the battle went according to the map, Cao Ren Li Dian led 50,000 elites to rush into the city for reinforcements. Sun Jian was furious and ordered the children of Jiangdong to attack day and night, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing rang from morning to night, and from night to early morning, without a moment's pause; The rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun, the corpses under the city walls were like mountains, the land east of the river was surging upwards like an ant colony, and the Cao army on the city desperately threw stones, trees, and even the corpses of soldiers on both sides.

Turning his gaze back, in the dead of night, Zhang Lang sat on the pestle in the room, smiling and watching Dong Ying and Sun Ren pack up. Tomorrow will depart, the destination is Yuzhou, Zhang Lang will personally lead four legions to attack Yuzhou. For this battle, Zhang Lang is full of confidence.

The two girls got ready and returned to Zhang Lang. Dong Ying said: "Pack up." He glanced at Sun Ren next to him and said with a smile: "Sister Sun Ren has also prepared her suite." ”

Zhang Lang looked at the package that Sun Ren had prepared for himself on the bed, and said with a smile: "Xiangxiang, what are you doing here?" ”

Sun Ren said confidently: "Of course, I will go on the expedition with you!" ”

Zhang Lang said angrily: "You are not in good health, stay here to recuperate." ”

Sun Ren's cheeks turned red and he said angrily: "I have nothing to do at all, I don't need to rest!" Zhang Lang looked at her pair of toned legs and asked teasingly, "Can you ride a horse?" Sun Ren blushed and said loudly: "Of course you can!" If you don't believe me, I'll ride it for you now! As he spoke, he was about to go out. Zhang Lang hurriedly grabbed her and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I believe you can." Sun Ren smiled. glanced at Dong Ying next to him, and said to Zhang Lang: "Sister Dong Ying is the eldest brother's guard general, I don't dare to compare with my sister, but I also have to give me a guard captain to do it Zhang Lang smiled: "Just be a guard general, and manage the guard with your sister Dong Ying." ”

Sun Ren was overjoyed, knelt down on one knee like an ordered general, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, General!" Zhang Lang laughed and hugged Sun Ren. The two looked at each other, and couldn't help but reveal a tender and affectionate demeanor. Dong Ying saw it next to her, and she couldn't help but feel some jealousy in her heart.

Wang Yi rushed in, hugged his fists and said, "General, Mr. Jia Xu is here and is waiting in the hall." ”

Zhang Lang said to the two women: "It's going to leave tomorrow, you guys rest early, and I'll go to see Wenhe." The two women nodded. Zhang Lang and Wang Yi left.

Dong Ying walked up to Sun Ren, took Sun Ren's slender hand, and said, "Sister, you are now the wife of the eldest brother, there are some things I want to talk to you about." Sun Ren hurriedly said: "Sister has something to do, just tell me!" Dong Ying smiled, "You misunderstood what I meant." I want to sue you, there is a big sister by my eldest brother's side besides me, named Yan Yuyao, she is a virtuous and good woman. We should respect her. ……”

Sun Ren nodded, "I've heard of the eldest sister, I will treat her as my own sister!" ”

Dong Ying said: "In addition to the eldest sister, there is also a fox spirit Diao Chan. You have to be careful of this woman, she is not a good person, she is useless except to charm the eldest brother, but she is very arrogant! You will inevitably deal with her in the future, just don't have any extra dealings with her, so as not to be deceived by her! Although Sun Ren has become Zhang Lang's wife, she is still just a girl after all, and when she heard Dong Ying's words, she became a little nervous for no reason and nodded.

Zhang Lang came to the hall. When Jia Xu saw Zhang Lang, he immediately stepped forward to salute: "My subordinates have seen the lord." ”

Zhang Lang said goodbye, sat down, and asked, "Wenhe, is there something urgent about coming over in the middle of the night so late?" ”

Jia Xu hugged his fists and said: "The subordinate lord JianyΓ¬ led the barbarian army south to Yuzhou. ”

Zhang Lang asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Lord, although Nanban has surrendered to the lord, but after all, it is not my race, and its heart must be different, so I have to guard against it!" Zhang Lang understood what Jia Xu meant, and thought for a while, "Okay, I will lead all the barbarian troops south, and the Long Tao Army, the Leopard Tao Army, and the Luoyang Army and the Pingnan Army will stay to guard Xudu." Jia Xu hugged his fists and said: "The lord is wise." ”

Zhang Lang stood up, walked up to Jia Xu, and ordered: "Prepare the money, food, and materials for the reward, and reward the three armies when we go out tomorrow to boost morale." Jia Xu hugged his fists and said: "The subordinates are ready." ”

Zhang Lang nodded, remembered the previous events, and asked, "You have already sent someone to spread rumors, right?" ”
