Chapter 160: Temporarily extinguishing the soldiers

Speaking of withdrawing troops, Sun Jian was a little unwilling. Turning his head to Zhou Yu, he said, "I lost tens of thousands of horses, did you just leave?" Didn't those tens of thousands of brothers die in vain! ”

Zhou Yu shook his head, "If you continue to fight, you will only lose more, and you won't gain anything!" Look at Na Lu Bu, although the Pingnan army was transferred to Nanyang, it did not have the slightest intention of attacking Xiangyang! He is sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, I am worried that no matter who wins between us and Liu Bei, he may wave his army south to reap the benefits of the fisherman! ”

Sun Jian frowned, "Isn't Lu Bu short of grain and grass?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "This was the case before, but after taking Nanyang, Nanyang's big warehouse has already fallen into his hands, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of loads, which is enough to support him to launch an unusually large attack!" ”

Sun Jian was silent for a moment, his face showing unwillingness, "Withdraw the army!" ”

Zhang Lang looked at the report he had just received and said with a smile: "Zhou Yu and Sun Nut are not simple!" Glancing at Zhuge Liang, "It's all expected by you!" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly. At this moment, Zhang Lang and Zhuge Liang were in the hall of the Nanyang Governance Office, the generals of the Pingnan Army were also there, and Ma Chao and the entire Blue Wolf Army were all transferred to the camps south of Fancheng and Xiangjiang.

Zhang Lang sat down, "The battle in Jingzhou may have stopped for the time being!" Then he touched his chin and thought: "There will definitely be a big war after the autumn harvest next year!" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded sympathetically, frowned, and said: "Although Nanyang is rich, it is in the land of four wars, and after the autumn harvest next year, I am afraid that it will face the onslaught of several forces!" ……”

Yan Yan, the general of the Pingnan Army, came out of the column and hugged his fists and said: "There are veterans and the Pingnan army, no one wants to be presumptuous in Nanyang!" "The generals of the Pingnan Army have come out to show their determination!" Zhang Lang nodded and said with a smile: "I absolutely believe that the old general and the soldiers of the Pingnan Army will definitely be able to turn Nanyang into an iron bucket fortress that cannot be conquered!" When everyone heard Zhang Lang's words, they only felt their blood boiling and full of fighting spirit.

After the discussion, Zhang Lang and Zhuge Liang came to the backyard of the governance office and strolled along the corridor. "My lord, if there are really several forces attacking Nanyang after the autumn harvest next year, as we expected, I'm afraid that one Nanyang army won't be able to resist it!"

Zhang Lang nodded, "I'm also a little worried!" Stopped, looking at the clear pool water in front of him, "If the worst happens, we have to keep Nanyang, but I'm afraid we will pay an extremely heavy price!" Zhuge Liang nodded sympathetically. Zhang Lang glanced at Zhuge Liang and asked meaningfully, "But, can we use Nanyang as bait?" ”

At the same time, Chang'an.

A fast horse galloped into the city from the west. Then the knight, supported by two guards, rushed into the lobby of the General's Mansion and knelt down with a thud.

Seeing this, Jia Xu and Huang Yueying immediately stepped forward, and Jia Xu asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The knight untied the bloody bamboo tube and presented it to Jia Xu, and said intermittently: "More than a month ago, Wusun suddenly attacked with a large army, Loulan City was broken, most of the brothers were killed, and the remnants of Zhang Jian's handsome army retreated into the nearby mountains, and the trade route has been interrupted!" As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted. Jia Xu hurriedly untied his bamboo tube and asked people to quickly carry it down for treatment and care. Two guards carried the knight down.

Jia Xu opened the bamboo tube, took out Zhang Jian's handwritten letter, and read it again, frowning. Huang Yueying asked, "What does the letter say?" Jia Xu frowned and said, "You must report to the general immediately!" ”

Nanyang City.

Zhang Lang hugged Dong Ying, who was in the dust, spun around in place, kissed her on the face and lips several times, and said excitedly: "Yingying, I miss me!" Dong Ying was happy and excited in her heart, deliberately put her face on the board, and said angrily: "Will you miss me?" I've heard you've been very merry these days! ”

Zhang Lang sighed, "How can there be?" ”

Dong Ying looked behind Zhang Lang, "What about Mrs. Cai?" I want to see her, what kind of fox she is! ”

Zhang Lang said angrily: "Mrs. Cai came to Jingzhou with me to cooperate with me in attacking Jingzhou!" No, she's going to patrol down there now! How can you believe those rumors outside! ”

Dong Ying squeezed her body into Zhang Lang's arms, glanced up at him, and said in a hoarse voice: "You, we know best!" If our sisters were by your side, you wouldn't have cheated, but you can bear to be alone in the boudoir for so long? Zhang Lang immediately raised his right palm, "I can swear!" ”

Dong Ying took a sip, "Don't swear nonsense!" Good spirits are not bad spirits! Meiyan glanced at Lang, "We can't control you if you're messing around outside, but I must warn you that you can't bring home a messy woman like a married man!" Zhang Lang nodded hurriedly. Holding Dong Ying's hand, he walked towards the hall, and asked as he walked, "Yingying, why did you come suddenly?" Is everyone okay? ”

"Hello everyone! Just worried that you're restless outside, so let me come and watch you! ”

Zhang Lang laughed dryly.

When he came to the hall, Zhang Lang pulled Dong Ying to sit down beside him, and said excitedly: "Tonight, I will have a big banquet for my Yingying to catch the wind and wash the dust!" ”

Dong Ying said angrily: "Why are you doing so much?" All I have to do is stay with you! With others present, you have to deal with it, and you can't lose the etiquette and the demeanor of the housewife, and you're annoyed! ”

Zhang Lang smiled, "Okay, good! Then it's just the two of us tonight, drink him in the dark! Dong Ying pursed her lips and smiled.

That night, Zhang Lang and Dong Ying were in the gazebo in the backyard, drinking, eating, and chatting. As far as he was interested, Zhang Lang talked about the troubles that happened after an hour, what happened when he took a bath, the bathtub turned over when he took a bath, and he was chased by a dog when he stole watermelons, etc., all of which are faceless and skinless things for children. Dong Ying smiled and trembled, and glanced at Zhang Lang, "I didn't expect the eldest brother to be so ...... when he was young" She didn't know how to describe Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang smiled, "I really miss my childhood!" Carefree! Suddenly, his heart moved, he hugged Dong Ying over, and asked, "Yingying, when are you going to give me a big fat boy!" It's going to be a lot of fun to have a big fat kid playing! Dong Ying said angrily: "Do you want to be a big fat boy just to play?" Zhang Lang smiled. Looking at Dong Ying, who was red and gorgeous because of the strength of the wine, he couldn't help but move his index finger and swallowed his saliva, "Yingying, it's not too early, let's go back and rest!" ”

Dong Ying is actually already emotional, after all, Xiao Beisheng is newlywed! Jiaoyan glanced at Zhang Lang with a slight blush, and said angrily: "People are dirty and want to take a bath." Zhang Lang's eyes lit up, "I'll help you." ”
