This imprisoned official is named Tong Lin, Zhang Langfeng's Xiliang Imperial History, responsible for inspecting Xiliang's government affairs, Cai Yong's student, very talented, but he didn't expect that in just a few months, he was escorted back to Chang'an because of corruption and abuse of power for personal gain.

Tong Lin smiled bitterly: "The evidence they gave me is irrefutable, and my subordinates have nothing to say." ”

Zhang Lang looked into his eyes and was speechless, "Who are your 'them'?" ”

Tong Lin glanced at Zhang Lang, "Xiliang Thorn History, Han and Ma are two major scholars. ”

……

Zhang Lang looked at the military intelligence report he had just received, and his face was thoughtful. Sun Jian took the Jiangdong army and stormed Xiangyang, opening the prelude to the battle for hegemony among the princes in the new year. Zhang Lang was thinking about his own strategy, although several strategists had reached a consensus that he was not in a hurry to compete with the princes of the Central Plains for hegemony this year, but first stabilized the Western Regions to control the trade routes, but Zhang Lang did not want to be just a spectator in this year, or he could attack in a certain direction.

Zhang Lang put down the military report, got up and walked to the map, his eyes wandering over the map.

Two days later, new military information came, Cao Cao personally led an army of 200,000 to storm Jizhou, and the battle between Cao and Yuan left the curtain. This situation was somewhat unexpected by Zhang Lang and the strategists.

"Cao Cao did this, didn't he give us a chance?" Zhuge Liang frowned.

Jia Xu pointed to Luoyang, "The defense in the direction of Luoyang has been weakened a lot because of Cao Cao's attack!" If we do our best, it will be possible to capture Luoyang! ”

Huang Yueying frowned and said: "There are still 300,000 horses in the direction of Luoyang, and Luoyang City is high and wide, it is difficult to capture it than to ascend to the sky!" I'm afraid that in the end, the gains will outweigh the losses! ”

Jia Xu said: "In all battles, there is no one who does not take risks!" Nowadays, there are not many opportunities like this, and I think it is worth taking a chance! ”

Zhuge Liang was silent.

Zhang Lang stared at Luoyang for a while, and said categorically: "Don't miss the opportunity and don't come again!" Immediately ordered the Long Tao Army, the Leopard Tao Army, the Eagle Yang Army, the Blue Wolf Army, the War Bear Army, and the three hundred thousand troops of the five legions to gather in Chang'an! Recruit people from all over the country to transfer grain and grass to carry heavy loads! Squinting his eyes, "I'll fight the fuck this time!" ”

Zhang Lang's order was issued, and the armies began to move; At the same time, Zhang Lang asked Zhuge Liang to return to Nanyang, one was responsible for Nanyang's defense, and the other was waiting for an opportunity to cooperate from the flank.

As soon as a fast horse galloped into Luoyang, passers-by could feel an anxious emotion galloping past them.

Yuan Shao read the military emergency report just sent, his face changed, and he scolded angrily: "What a Lu Bu, you actually want to take this opportunity to use troops against me!" The Wenchen generals below looked at each other, and Xu Yu hugged his fists and said, "Lord, what happened?" Yuan Shao shook the letter paper in his hand, "A report has come from our fine work, saying that Lu Bu is mobilizing a large army and grain and grass to prepare to launch an attack on Luoyang!" ”

There was a lot of discussion, and some people looked very worried.

Yuan Shao glanced at everyone, "Everyone, how should we deal with the current situation?" ”

Xu You hugged his fists and said: "Actually, you don't have to worry, with the strength of our army's millions of male soldiers, it is enough to deal with Lu Bu and Cao Cao at the same time." The judge hugged Yinghe and said: "What Ziyuan said is extremely true! Our army can use Luoyang as a fortress and consume Lü Bu with heavy troops. At the same time, the lord went east with the main force, fought a decisive battle against Cao Cao, fought for a quick victory, and then turned around to eliminate Lu Bu! If it happens, then the world will be decided! ”

Yuan Shao couldn't help but get excited, "What the two gentlemen said is exactly what I want!" ”

Tian Feng came out and said: "Lord, although this strategy is feasible, it is not comprehensive enough!" The subordinates thought that other measures should be taken at the same time! Now that Jiangdong Sun Jian is quite strong, it is better to ally with him and make him threaten Cao Cao's rear in order to relieve the pressure on our army! ”

Yuan Shao nodded, "Okay!" He then ordered Xu You to draft an order: to order Guo Tu to send an envoy to Changsha to ally with Sun Jian, to order Xu You to guard Luoyang with Gao Lan and Zhang Jaw, and to order the armies from all over the country to assemble in Jizhou and fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao.

Tian Fengjian yì: "My lord, you can order Hongnong's defenders to abandon Hongnong and cross the Yellow River north to strengthen the garrison of Shouyang Mountain." ”

Xu You said angrily: "Before the enemy army arrives, our army will flee by itself, which is definitely not a good thing for the morale of our army!" "Again towards Yuan Shao with a fist: "Lord, my subordinates think that not only should they not let the Hongnong defenders retreat north, but they should be ordered to support Hangu Pass and defend it!" Let those 30,000 horses use Hangu Pass to consume Lu Bu's troops as much as possible! ”

Tian Feng hurriedly said: "Lord, if you do what Xu You said, I'm afraid that you won't even be able to keep Shouyang Mountain!" If Shouyang Mountain is not protected, Lu Bu can bypass Hangu Pass and attack Luoyang! Think twice! ”

Xu You sneered: "Alarmist! ”

Yuan Shao only felt that one head and two big ones were decided, and he hesitated for a long time, and actually said: "What the two gentlemen said is reasonable, let me think about this matter again!" ”

……

In the thick fog of the early morning, a large army is building a pontoon bridge over the river in Kasaka. The defenders of Yuan Shao in the opposite camp were shocked when they heard the continuous knocking sound on the river, but the fog on the river was so dense that they couldn't see the situation clearly. As the sun rose, the fog on the river gradually lifted. Yuan Shaojun was shocked to see three pontoon bridges appear on the river. Yuan Shaoshou's general Lu Yi was shocked, and hurriedly led 5,000 cavalry out of the camp, preparing to destroy the pontoon bridge.

Thundered! The rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from the opposite side, and the two thousand armored ironclad cavalry of Lu Bu's army crossed the pontoon bridge first, led by Zhang Lang himself.

Yuan Shaojun was in a hurry to destroy the pontoon bridge and launched an attack first. The 5,000-step cavalry surged towards Zhang Lang's 2,000 armored iron cavalry. Zhang Lang reined in the war horse, smiled coldly, and raised Fang Tian's halberd. Two thousand armored iron horsemen put down their horses and prepared to attack.

Seeing the enemy army approaching, Fang Tian Realm slammed forward! The two thousand armored iron horsemen let out a shout and burst out! Two thousand armored iron horsemen trampled on the trembling earth and slaughtered five thousand Yuan Shaojun cavalry! In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided with each other, and the armored iron cavalry quickly smashed into the middle of the enemy army, setting off a rain of blood! Weapons kept falling on the iron cavalry, but they only stirred up a little spark, which shocked Yuan Shaojun's soldiers!

Talking about the charge, Yuan Shaojun has already fallen into pieces! Two thousand ironclad warriors turned their heads and charged again! The surging iron hooves and the terrible screams shocked Yuan Shaojun's heart and couldn't help himself!

Before the ironclad cavalry arrived, Yuan Shaojun collapsed, and rushed to the camp in a hurry! The cavalry held in front, and the infantry fell behind!

The ironclad war cavalry caught up with the infantry of Yuan Shaojun, killing their corpses all over the wild ghosts and howling wolves, the scene was really miserable!
