At the same time that Zhang Lang basically stabilized the situation in the rear, the war between Yuan and Cao made new progress, and the soldiers and horses of the three Yuan brothers were once again defeated by Cao's army in Gaoyang in the north of Youzhou, with heavy losses, and the remnants fled to Liaoxi, so that most of the territory of the Yuan family fell into the hands of Cao Cao. Subsequently, Cao Cao sent Xiahoudun as a general, led an army of 150,000 to the east into western Liaoning, and at the same time sent Guo Jia to govern Youzhou to pacify the local people.

Xiahoudun led an army of 150,000 and the remnants of the three Yuan and Liaoxi Shan Yu Louban, the right Beiping Shan Yu Nengchen decisive battle in the White Wolf Mountain, broke the coalition army, beheaded countless people, Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan was beheaded in this battle, Liaoxi Shan Yu Louban and Right Beiping Shan Yu Nengchen surrendered to Cao Cao, and Yuan Xi Yuan Shang led the remnants to flee to Liaodong Gongsun Du. Xiahoudun ordered people to control Liaoxi, and on the other hand, he personally commanded the main army to advance into Liaodong, defeated the coalition army in World War I, and tensed Pinggang in Liaodong, due to the problem of grain and grass, the army suspended its advance.

Zhang Lang inspected the territory of Xichuan, told him some things, and then returned to Luoyang. At this time, the lights in Luoyang City were colorful, and it was a lively scene, and it turned out that it had unconsciously arrived at the Lantern Festival.

Standing in the attic of the mansion, looking at the city's bright fireworks, reflecting the snow, crystal clear and dazzling, like a heavenly palace. The sound of laughter and noise came from afar, and Zhang Lang couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Yu Yao, who was wearing a long skirt and a cashmere jacket, came behind Zhang Lang and put a cloak on Zhang Lang. Zhang Lang pressed her slender hand and smiled back. Yu Yao also smiled and leaned into Zhang Lang's arms. Zhang Lang gently kissed Yan Yuyao's forehead, bit her ear and said softly: "Give me a child in the new year?" ”

Yan Yuyao's face turned red and nodded lightly.

Zhang Lang hurried to the back hall, where Huang Yueying was waiting. Huang Yueying's moon-white tunic skirt was covered with a cashmere-edged white cotton jacket, which did not look bloated and graceful.

Zhang Lang saw Huang Yueying and asked with a smile: "Lantern Festival, Yueying doesn't rest?" ”

Huang Yueying smiled, "Didn't the eldest brother not rest?" ”

Zhang Lang smiled, glanced at the bamboo slip on her chest in her hand, and asked, "Is there an emergency?" Huang Yueying stepped forward, put the bamboo slip in front of Zhang Lang, and said with a smile: "It's not an urgent matter, it's just a daily report requested by the eldest brother!" ”

Zhang Lang picked up the bamboo slip and opened it and looked at it. Huang Yueying stood in front of her, her hands crossed in front of her, her eyes looked at Zhang Lang's cheeks, and she didn't feel stupid.

Zhang Lang put down the bamboo slip and frowned, "The Yuan clan is completely defeated!" After this battle, Cao Cao's strength has been greatly improved! I'm afraid the total number of troops is more than 1.5 million, right? Raising her head to look at Huang Yueying, Huang Yueying hurriedly lowered her head and brushed her sideburns hair, "No, after all, Cao Cao can't keep everyone." However, judging from the information we have so far, it is certain that the total number of troops exceeds 1.2 million. Now Cao Cao occupies half of the states and counties in the world, and they are all populous states, and their strength seems to be the first in the world, and there is a big gap between our strength and it! If Cao Cao attacks with all his might, we will have a hard time! ”

Zhang Lang shook off the bamboo slip and said with a smile: "Come on!" If Cao Cao wants to have a big battle with us at this time, I will accompany him to the end. ”

Huang Yueying smiled slightly, her eyes full of brilliance.

Zhang Lang frowned and said: "Half of our nine legions have suffered heavy casualties in this round of war, so we have to quickly replenish the armies!" Huang Yueying said: "Since receiving the order from the eldest brother, the recruitment and training work has not stopped, and in addition, Lord Jia Xu is also stepping up his work. It is estimated that by about May, it should be able to be replenished! ”

Zhang Lang nodded, and asked thoughtfully, "Yueying, do you think we should expand the army now?" Huang Yueying shook her head and said, "No! The size of the army is now the limit, although the assets confiscated from those scholars can support further expansion of the army, but it is not a long time after all! Blindly expanding the army, the final result can only be to drag ourselves down! After a pause, "Now that the trade routes in the west are reopened, it will surely bring us unimaginable benefits in time." The state-run policy implemented by the eldest brother today will also replenish our infinite blood. However, it will take time, so I think our policy now should be to hold on to the pass and wait for the right moment. If there is no opportunity, it will defend itself, and if there is an opportunity, it will be a crack soldier out of the town! ”

Zhang Lang looked at Huang Yueying in a daze, and he suddenly found that Huang Yueying was particularly charming when analyzing strategies, and Huang Yueying at this time could really be said to cover up the world's flowers!

Huang Yueying was talking about Xing, but when she saw Zhang Lang only staring at herself in a daze, she couldn't help but fly her cheeks and glared at Zhang Lang with disgust. Zhang Lang's heart jumped, and he didn't know what drove him, so he actually reached out and grabbed Huang Yueying's arm and pulled her into his arms.

Huang Yueying was hugged by Zhang Lang, her mind was confused all of a sudden, she didn't know what to do, and a pair of beautiful eyes would only stare at Zhang Lang stupidly.

Zhang Lang couldn't help but bow his head and kiss Huang Yueying's red lips. Huang Yueying only felt an electric shock-like sensation hit her lips, Sun Jian was all over her body, and all her strength disappeared at once, turning into a pool of spring water, and she was bullied by Zhang Lang. Zhang Lang tasted the sweet red lips and slowly touched it up with one hand......

Just when the two were about to merge into one, there was a sudden sound of gongs outside the house. The tender and sweet mandarin ducks were immediately dispersed. Huang Yueying hurriedly jumped up, delicate and red, she didn't dare to look at Zhang Lang, and ran away as if she was running away.

Zhang Lang smiled, smelled the fragrance on his hand, and said depressedly: "The boiled duck flew!" Looking out of the door, he said angrily: "Who is making a fuss outside?" He stood up and walked out of the back hall and asked one of the guards next to him, "What's going on outside?" The guard immediately replied, "That's everyone sending God!" This is the case every year for the Lantern Festival! Zhang Lang couldn't help but be interested, "Let's go, take a look." Then he walked down the cloister towards the front yard, and the guards hurriedly followed.

Out of the gate, I saw the street like a stream of fire, hundreds of people holding a two-meter-high statue of the god are paraded in the street, men, women and children are jubilant.

Huang Yueying's voice came from behind: "That's Luoshen, legend has it that it can bless the people with a safe harvest of grains!" At this time of year, the people of Luoyang will watch him parade! This is also a major event in Luoyang! ”

Zhang Lang turned his head, glanced at Huang Yueying, who still had a flush on her face, and winked at her. Huang Yueying was embarrassed in her heart and glared at him. Zhang Lang smiled and grabbed Huang Yueying's slender hand, "Let's go, let's go and join in the fun!" ”
