Chapter 255: Dedication to the City

There was a commotion outside, as if a lot of people were making noise on the streets. Fan Cheng, who was bored, frowned, walked out of the hall, looked up at the door, and asked in a loud voice, "Who is making noise outside?" As soon as the words fell, the captain of the pro-soldier rushed in from the outside, rushed to Fan Cheng, and said urgently: "Oh no, my lord, they, they all rebelled!" ”

Fan Cheng chuckled in his heart. Just as he was about to ask, he saw a large group of sergeants with hundreds of people rushing in under the leadership of a burly officer, and the guards at the door were charged before they could react.

Fan Cheng roared angrily: "Fang Mu, what are you doing? ”

The officer in the lead stepped forward and hugged his fists, "Please hand over the official seal!" ”

Fan Cheng pointed at Fang Mu and asked, "Do you want to rebel?" ”

Fang Mu said lightly: "We are rebelling!" The hundreds of sergeants behind him raised their swords and shouted: "Rebellion, rebellion, rebellion!" ”

Fan Cheng's face turned pale with fright.

Fang Mu raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said to Fan Cheng: "The northern counties were originally the territory of the great general, but Yuan Shao forcibly took it, and now it should be returned to the original owner!" Our wood endured humiliation and burdens for today's sake. Master Fan, I don't want to embarrass you and my colleagues, let you dedicate the official seal to the general. I have already received news that the general's team is less than ten miles away from here, Lord Fan, would you like to go with me to meet the general? ”

Fan Cheng was flustered and didn't know what to do.

Fang Mu raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Master Fan, I gave you a chance, don't cherish it yourself!" ”

Fan Cheng was startled, swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly went back to get the official seal.

Zhang Lang also led 5,000 armored cavalry to the outside of Yanmen City, and before that, he had already received a summons from Fang Mu that he would sacrifice Yanmen County. Looking up, I saw that the city gate was wide open, and Taishou Fan Cheng was standing in the middle of the avenue with the official seal, with a worried and panicked look on his face, and an officer stood next to him with a knife, it was Fang Mu.

The soldiers and people of Yanmen County couldn't help but be shocked and pale when they saw the oncoming 10,000 ironclad warriors, the iron armor was solemn and murderous, and the red flag was like a blood cloud rolling.

The army came under the gates. Fang Mu immediately stepped forward and clenched his fists excitedly and said, "General, you're finally back!" Zhang Lang smiled, "Fang Mu, thank you for your hard work!" Fang Mu looked flattered, and hurriedly bowed: "The lives of the subordinate family were all saved by the general, and it is nothing to do this!" Zhang Lang smiled slightly.

Fang Mu turned his head and shouted from Fan Cheng: "Lord Fan, if you don't offer the official seal now, when will you wait?" ”

Fan Cheng was startled, hurriedly stepped forward, and trembled and lifted the official seal, "This is, this is the official seal of Yanmen County, please accept it!" ”

Zhang Lang motioned for Fang Mu to take it. Fang Mu immediately took over the official seal.

Seeing Fan Cheng's frightened look, Zhang Lang smiled and said, "You are Yuan Shao's cronies, you must want to go back to Yuan Shao, right?" Fan Cheng was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, kowtowed like garlic and said, "The villain will never dare to have such a heart!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "You go back and clean up, and then go back to Yuan Shao." ”

Fan Cheng raised his head and looked at Zhang Lang in disbelief, "The general is really willing to let me go?" ”

Zhang Lang said angrily: "You are grinding, maybe I will change my mind." Fan Cheng's face changed, and he hurriedly bowed to Zhang Lang, turned his head, and stumbled into the city gate. Zhang Lang laughed. His eyes glanced at the bureaucrats under the city gate, and he raised his voice: "If you want to go, you can go early, if I change my mind, I will be finished if I want to go again!" Immediately, four officials waved their hands at Zhang Lang and rushed into the city gate in a panic, these four officials were all from Jizhou who had come to Yanmen County with Fan Cheng before. The local bureaucrats around them all laughed when they saw this.

When the army entered the city gates, the local people welcomed them.

In the lobby of the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Lang sat at the top, and the local bureaucrats and generals were separated.

Zhang Lang asked Fang Mu: "How many people are there in the Yanmen City Defense Army?" ”

Fang Mu immediately clenched his fists and said, "Returning to the Great General, there are more than 11,000 people in the Yanmen City Defense Army. Zhang Lang nodded, "You take care of it for the time being." "No."

Zhang Lang looked at the lock of bureaucrats standing on the right and asked, "Where is the long history?" ”

A middle-aged scribe immediately came out and hugged his fists and said, "The subordinates are here." ”

Zhang Lang glanced at him, "What's your name?" ”

"Subordinate stereotypes."

"Old, how much grain does Yanmen have?"

"Back to the general, Yanmen has one billion dollars in money and 500,000 quintals of grain!"

Zhang Lang was taken aback, "So much money and food? ”

Chen Gui explained: "Yuan Shao previously used Yanmen as the logistics supply base for the entire state, so the money and grain gathered here! Zhang Lang nodded, glanced at the stereotype, and narrowed his eyes, "I really want to see you?" Chen Gui hurriedly said: "Returning to the general, his subordinates have always been the chief of Yanmen, and I have seen the general before!" ”

Zhang Lang remembered, "From today onwards, you will not drive in the state!" ”

Chen Gui was shocked and looked at Zhang Lang, "This, how can a subordinate take on this important responsibility?" ”

Zhang Lang waved his hand and said impatiently: "If you want to do it, you will do it, don't be verbose." "No." The stereotype hugged his fists and promised, and his heart was very moved.

Zhang Lang glanced at the bureaucrats, "You people, I don't care if you volunteered to help Yuan Shao before, you will stay in your original position." When everyone heard this, their hearts finally let go and thanked them together.

A herald hurriedly came in from outside, kneeling down with a letter in his hands and saying, "General, there is an urgent military situation from Luoyang!" Fang Mu immediately stepped forward to take the letter and forwarded it to Zhang Lang. Zhang Lang took the letter, opened it, and read it. Everyone stared at Zhang Lang, but they didn't see any change in Zhang Lang's expression.

Zhang Lang pressed the letter and said to everyone: "Let's all go down, what should I do!" Everyone clenched their fists and bowed, and the fish ran out of the hall.

Zhang Lang picked up the letter again, his brows furrowed. It turned out that the letter was about the military situation in the south, not long ago Kuiguan was lost, Huang Zhong and Zhu Rong led the army to retreat to Linjiang, the situation was very critical, and the army led by Zhou Yu had broken through Shangyong, Zhuge Liang ordered the army to retreat on its own initiative, and is currently defending Hanzhong City. Sun Jian's side achieved breakthroughs on both sides, and the battle situation in the south was precarious.

Zhang Lang stood up, walked to the map, looked at the shape on the map and thought: We must do our best to return to the army, but the current situation of merging states is not completely controlled, and Huguan does not know if it has been captured. Do you want to risk transferring the troops in Guanzhong and Luoyang?
