On the arduous way to escape, Cao Ren and the others have been praying in their hearts that Chaisang's defenders can hold on. However, when he came to the outside of the city, he was extremely disappointed to find that the banner fluttering on the wall of Chaisang had become the battle flag with the word 'Lu'. Chaisan is lost! This is actually to be expected!

Li Dian said: "Chaisang has been lost, and the entire Jiangnan can be said to have fallen into the hands of Lu Bu, we have to quickly escape across the river and join the main guild." ”

Cao Ren nodded and sighed.

The group left Chaisang.

……

Ten days ago, Zhang Lang repeated his old tricks, sent an army disguised as the Cao army and opened the gate of Chaisang, and then the army poured in, annihilating the 20,000 Cao troops left behind to occupy Chaisang.

On this day, Zhang Lang and Zhuge Ruoxue sat in the hall of the Chai Sangzhi Office to discuss the next strategy. Zhang Lang said: "When the problem in Jiangnan is completely solved, you can shift your attention to Cao Pi!" Hey, I have never felt so close to the great cause of unifying the world! He glanced at Zhuge Ruoxue, who was beautiful and demure with white Shengxue's hair like clouds, and said gratefully: "Thanks to Miss Ruoxue, if it weren't for your clever plan, I don't know when and how much I would have to pay to capture Jiangnan!" F Zhuge Ruoxue smiled slightly, "The lord has won the award!" I'm just taking advantage of the situation! ”

Zhang Lang said with a smile: "Kong Ming once said that his two sisters are better than him, I didn't believe it originally, but now I completely believe it!" I don't think even Kong Ming can plan such an ingenious plan! ”

Zhuge Ruoxue smiled indifferently, hugged her fists and said: "Lord, the people of Jiangnan only experienced the military disaster of the Cao army not long ago, and now they are scared by us again, and they should be given lenient measures to appease the people." ”

Zhang Lang nodded, glanced at Zhuge Ruoxue, and said with a smile: "Since it is your opinion, then I will leave this matter to you!" I accepted Miss Ruoxue as the Jiangdong Thorn History, subjective Jiangdong Yiqiē civil affairs. Zhuge Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up to thank him: "Subordinates thank the lord for his trust!" ”

Zhang Lang stood up, stepped forward to help Zhuge Ruoxue, smelled the repeated fragrance emanating from her delicate body, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and couldn't help but take the opportunity to help her and gently pinch her arm. Zhuge Ruoxue immediately turned crimson, gently withdrew her arms, hung her head, and looked extremely shy.

Zhang Lang smiled.

Zhuge Ruoxue was even more ashamed, and she couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.

Dong Ying, who was standing behind Zhang Lang, was annoyed when she saw this scene, but she couldn't say anything.

Xiao Long hurriedly walked in, hugged his fists and said, "General, the envoys sent to the land have all returned." ”

Zhang Lang's eyes lit up, "I'm waiting for them, let them in!" Xiao Long said yes, ran down, and after a while, he led seven or eight dusty men in. These people were all envoys sent by Zhang Lang to recruit the southern counties. When everyone saw Zhang Lang, they immediately bowed down with their fists, and Zhuge Ruoxue retreated to the side.

Zhang Lang said: "Let's all get up." ”

The crowd straightened up.

Zhang Lang glanced at everyone and found that except for the envoys sent to Jiaozhou, they were all back. "How's it going?" he asked. ”

The representative at the head bowed down with joy on his face and said, "Back to the lord, things are going very smoothly, and all the county guards are sincere. Then he picked up the square mahogany box in his hand, "This is the official seal of Changsha Taishou dedicated to the lord." Immediately, several other envoys also presented the official seals of the county guards. Then the messenger who had spoken earlier said, "A few Taishou are now outside the door, waiting to see the lord!" ”

Zhang Lang was overjoyed, "Oh, please invite them in!" ”

Xiao Long answered, ran down, and after a short time, he led seven or eight men of different shapes in. Those who were too guarded or middle-aged, or old, or obese, or thin, were all wearing official robes, and their expressions were a little apprehensive.

The Taishou saw Zhang Lang, although they had never seen him, but they knew that he was the legendary general, so they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The criminal minister greets the general!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "Don't be polite, get up and talk." ”

The ladies thanked them and stood up one after another. Among them, Han Xuan, the Changsha Taishou, clasped his fists respectfully and said: "I'm too late to surrender, and I ask the general to forgive me!" Others also pleaded for forgiveness.

Zhang Lang smiled: "I am also very happy that you can come today!" After a pause, "Since you are all the Taishou of each county, then continue to hold the position of this Taishou!" ……”

The Taishou were overjoyed, they originally only hoped to be able to live their lives in peace and happiness, but they didn't expect the legendary ruthless general to be so generous. Moved, they knelt down and bowed, and some of them even had tears in their eyes!

Zhang Lang let everyone get up and said, "The affairs of the counties are still bothering you, and I will send some people to assist you." "The crowd is too obedient.

Zhang Lang pointed to Zhuge Ruoxue on the side, and said with a smile: "This is the history of Jiangdong Thorns, Lord Zhuge . ”

Everyone glanced at Zhuge Ruoxue, and they were very surprised that she was actually a Jiangdong assassin, but they didn't dare to slack off, and saluted respectfully. Zhuge Ruoxue returned the salute and said with a smile: "In the future, you will need all adults to cooperate with the little girl!" "The Taishou promised again and again, and on the surface they were respectful, but they didn't really take Zhuge Ruoxue to heart, and they all thought that Zhuge Ruoxue must have used his appearance to sit in this position. Now they all think like this, but it won't be long before they will see how powerful Zhuge Ruoxue is, this is a later story, so I won't be verbose here.

Zhang Lang set up a banquet to entertain all the assassins.

……

Night has fallen, the lights are on, and the moon is on the top. Zhang Lang, Zhuge Ruoxue and others stood on the city gate tower, looking at the night scene in the city, Chaisang was very prosperous, but slightly inferior to Xiangyang. Fortunately, the most prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River has escaped two major military disasters one after another, and the city has not been damaged, and the population and property have not suffered any losses!

Zhang Lang said with a smile: "This is the center of the entire Jiangdong!" ”

Zhuge Ruoxue said: "Yes now, but I hope it won't be in the future." I hope that Jiangxia, Jianye, Wu County and the counties further south will develop, so that it will be the best situation for the people and the lord! ”

Zhang Lang nodded and said with a smile: "It's up to you." Do you feel like a heavy burden on your shoulders? Zhuge Ruoxue smiled, hugged her fists and said, "Lord, I hope to leave 100,000 troops in Jiangdong." ”

Zhang Lang nodded, "I also have this plan, this place has just fallen, and there is a lot of waste to be rebuilt, although those Taishou have surrendered, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have other thoughts." It is necessary to leave behind a large army of sufficient strength. ”
