Zhang Lang asked Jia Xu: "Wenhe, what did you think of?" Jia Xu said: "My subordinates were wondering just now whether Cao Pi used the strategy of attacking the east and the west. But that shouldn't be possible. Zhang Lang didn't care.

Zhang Lang handed over the matter of city defense to Jia Xu, and he led 20,000 Longtao troops out of the city and rushed away in the direction from which the enemy came.

Before sunset, hundreds of sentry horses of both armies met in a wooded hill, and a fierce battle broke out. Iron hooves galloped to and fro, the roar was thrilling, the big sword was slashed, the spear was stabbed, and the blood flew wildly, only to see the knights sitting under the horses. ……

Zhang Lang received the report and immediately led the army to rush there. When I felt the battlefield, the sun had set, the sky was full of stars and moons, and the sky and the earth were dark. The forest where the fierce battle had taken place had regained its silence, and in the woods, at the edge of the woods, corpses were strewn all over the field, and the war horses that had lost their owners were patrolling the edge of the woods.

A bloodstained scout rushed over, reined in his horse, clenched his fists, and said, "General Cavalry, the enemy sentry has been routed by our army!" ”

Zhang Lang asked, "Where is the enemy striker?" ”

"There have been sentinels searching, but no targets have been found!"

Zhang Lang thought for a while, "I know, you can go." The scout answered, twisted his horse's head, and galloped down. Zhang Lang turned his head and ordered the 20,000 war horsemen: "The whole army rests on the spot!" The generals at all levels passed the order, and the 20,000 war horsemen dismounted and rested.

About half an hour later, a scout sped in. Zhang Lang heard the sound of horses' hooves, stood up, and followed the voice. The scout galloped in front of Zhang Lang, reined in his horse, jumped down, and knelt down and said, "General Qiyu, the 30,000 forward cavalry led by Xiahoudun has retreated!" Zhang Lang was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "Retreated?" The scout replied, "Yes!" ”

Zhang Lang thought about it, laughed, and muttered: "Cao Jun must have been defeated by our army, so he didn't dare to fight me!" ”

Yan Xing clenched his fists and asked, "General, do you want to pursue?" ”

Zhang Lang shook his head, "Since the opponent deliberately avoids fighting, there will be no gain from chasing him." Give the order to go down and go back to the city. Yan Xing clenched his fists and promised, turned over on his horse, and went down to give the order. Zhang Lang said to the scout again: "Sue your captain, continue to monitor the movement of the enemy army. The scout clenched his fists in agreement, turned his horse, turned his horse's head, and galloped away.

The 20,000 cavalry turned around and returned to Xuchang.

When Jia Xu heard Zhang Lang talk about the battle situation, he frowned slightly, and subconsciously had a bad premonition in his heart. But when I think about it, I can't think of anything wrong.

Zhang Lang noticed Jia Xu's expression and asked, "Wenhe, what are you thinking?" ”

Jia Xu frowned and said, "The subordinates are thinking about Cao Pi's intentions. After a pause, "My subordinates always feel that something is wrong, but they can't think of anything wrong!" Could it be that Cao Pi just wants to rely on Xianbei and Sun Jian to copy our back road? Zhang Lang thought for a while, "It should be like this." He definitely wanted Xianbei and Sun Jian to join us first, so as to distract our energy and strength, and then attack in a big way. That's why at this moment, they appear to be passive and avoid war. Jia Xu nodded thoughtfully, he felt that what the lord said made sense, but he still couldn't let go of it in his heart.

Zhang Lang returned to the room in the backyard, ready to take off his armor and rest. Dong Ying walked in and helped Zhang Lang take off his robe. Dong Ying took Zhang Lang's robe and walked to the hanger and set it up. Zhang Lang came up from behind and hugged her. Dong Ying smiled and said angrily: "What are you doing with your hands and feet? ”

Zhang Lang didn't speak, just sniffed Dong Ying's neck. Dong Ying couldn't help but be emotional, turned around suddenly, and looked at Zhang Lang with beautiful eyes full of desire. Zhang Lang was about to speak, Dong Ying grabbed Zhang Lang's clothes, dragged Zhang Lang behind the screen, and then pushed Zhang Lang down on the bed.

Zhang Lang lay on his back on the bed and looked at Dong Ying with a smile. Dong Ying stared at Zhang Lang, untied his robe, the robe slid down with a bang, and then untied his armor a few times, stepped aside, jumped on the bed, pressed down on Zhang Lang, and kissed Zhang Lang's lips at once. While kissing, he went to untie Zhang Lang's clothes and pants. Zhang Lang turned over and pressed her under him, and picked up Dong Ying's toned long legs while kissing. Dong Ying was already completely emotional, kissing Zhang Lang's lips greedily with her red lips, rubbing her delicate body fiercely against Zhang Lang's tiger body, and pulling a pair of slender hands downward.

……

Early in the morning, Zhang Lang woke up from the gentle countryside. At the moment, the sun is shining through the window and shining on the bed. Zhang Lang glanced down and saw Dong Ying lying on his body, his upper body was exposed outside the quilt, and his hair was piled up on his chest like a dark cloud; A delicate blush with passion still remains, sleeping deeply, the corners of the mouth slightly upturned, as if he was dreaming a sweet dream; A pair of jade arms wrapped around Zhang Lang's neck, a pair of snow balls pressed tightly against Zhang Lang's chest, and the refreshing fragrance soaked Zhang Lang's nasal cavity and lung cavity.

Zhang Lang showed a pampering look.

Turning his head to look at the sky outside the window, Zhang Lang carefully got out of the entanglement of Dong Ying's pink legs and jade arms, got off the bed, and finished dressing. came back to his senses, lowered his head, and gently kissed Dong Ying's forehead. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, she couldn't help but scratch her Joan nose with her fingers.

Zhang Lang left the room and carefully closed the door.

Come to the study. A maid brought clean water, and Zhang Lang finished washing. Immediately another maid brought refreshments. Zhang Lang was eating while looking at the official documents and reports sent this morning.

Just watching, Wang Yi came in and reported: "General, Mr. Jia Xu is here." ”

Zhang Lang raised his head, "Hurry up." Wang Yi answered, retreated, and led Jia Xu in a moment later. Jia Xu clasped his fists at Zhang Lang and bowed: "My subordinates have seen the lord!" "Wen He doesn't have to be polite, sit down and talk." Jia Xu answered, walked to a pier at the head of the right and sat down. Wang Yi stood in the doorway with his sword.

Zhang Lang frowned and asked, "Does Wen He know about the Nanban Rebellion?" Jia Xu said: "My subordinates know." The messages only came out last night. Did the lord find a problem with this? ”

Zhang Lang said: "You mean, these are just rumors? ”

Jia Xu nodded, "This is one aspect. On the other hand, did the lord find out that the place where these rumors first appeared was strange? ”

Zhang Lang thought about it and shook his head incomprehensibly.

Jia Xu said: "Rumors first appeared in Luoyang, Nanyang and Jingzhou. If something really happened and there were rumors, it stands to reason that there should be rumors in Xichuan first, and it should not be in the Nanyang area of Luoyang. Zhang Lang nodded, "But what does this mean?" ”

Jia Xu said: "This shows that these rumors should have been spread by Cao Pi." Their fine work will first enter Luoyang, Nanyang and other places, so the rumors will occur first in these places, not Xichuan. Zhang Lang suddenly realized and nodded: "Not bad!" Indeed it is! ”
