Chapter 463: Messenger from the North
Zhang Lang walked into the lobby, stepped into the top, and turned around. The generals and the strategists and ministers paid their respects. Zhang Lang raised his voice and said, "You don't have to be polite. "General Xie (lord)!" Everyone stood up straight and looked at Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Wenhe, how are the preparations in all aspects?" Will you be able to strike on time on February 8? ”
Jia Xu hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the lord is very smooth in all aspects, and he will definitely be able to attack on time on February 8!" ”
Zhang Lang nodded: "Very good." Looking at Ma Teng, he called, "General Shoucheng," Ma Teng clenched his fists and promised. Zhang Lang asked, "Is there any movement from the Xianbei people on the other side?" "Back to the general, the Xianbei people are as usual, there is no special movement."
Zhang Lang thought for a while and advised: "All passes should strengthen vigilance, and it is strictly forbidden for irrelevant people to approach the passes!" "No!"
Zhang Lang glanced at everyone, "The big war is coming, I hope you will work hard and be careful!" Everyone clasped their fists and promised.
It was late at night, and Zhang Lang was still looking at the map in the study, with a thoughtful look on his face. The light of the oil lamp danced in front of him, reflecting the shadow of Zhang Lang; It was very quiet outside the study, and the rhythmic sound of the husband sounded at once, accompanied by the shouting of 'the weather is dry, be careful of the fire candle'.
Dong Ying walked into the study quickly, saw Zhang Lang, and reported: "Big brother, the Xianbei envoy asks to see!" ”
Zhang Lang raised his head and asked in surprise, "Xianbei envoy?" ”
Dong Ying said: "The person who came claimed to be the envoy of Xianbei, and he asked to see the general when he had an important matter!" ”
Zhang Lang pondered for a moment and said to Dong Ying: "Take him to the hall." Dong Ying promised, turned around and went down.
Zhang Lang thought about it, walked to the hanger, picked up the robe and put it on, and walked out of the study. Wang Yi and the four tiger guards who were guarding the door immediately followed.
Zhang Lang walked into the hall from the side door, Dong Ying returned to Zhang Lang's left side and stood by the sword, Wang Yi stood on the right side of Zhang Lang by the sword, and the other tiger guards stood on the left and right of the stop, staring at the middle-aged man standing in the hall.
When the middle-aged man saw Zhang Lang, he was shocked, and hurriedly bowed: "I've seen the general!" ”
Zhang Lang glanced at him and sat down, "Are you the Xianbei Emissary?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded: "Exactly." Immediately stretched out his hand into his arms, Wang Yi, Dong Ying and the tiger guards saw this, and immediately raised their vigilance. However, the other party only took out a golden ring from his arms. The man held the ring in both hands and bowed: "I am the messenger of Budu Gen Dan Yu, Su Li, and I have specially sealed the order of Bu Du Gen Dan Yu to see the general of the Han Dynasty and inform me of confidential matters." ”
Wang Yi went down, took the ring, came back and presented it to Zhang Lang, and then returned to Zhang Lang to stand.
Zhang Lang looked at the ring in his hand, it was shining with golden light, carving an eagle, lifelike and very exquisite. According to Zhang Lang's knowledge, it is not an ordinary head person who can take out such a ring on the grassland, only the so-called Shan Yu similar to Kebi Nengbu Dugen is qualified to have such an item, which is similar to the jade dragon of the Central Plains Dynasty, which must be owned by the royal family. Zhang Lang basically believed the identity of the other party, put down his ring, and asked, "What confidential matter do you want to sue me?" ”
Su Li said: "Kebineng has already learned that you will join forces with Cao Cao to attack. ”
Zhang Lang frowned.
Su Li continued: "We also know that the time you agreed to attack is February 8. ”
Zhang Lang was taken aback, and his first reaction was: There is a mole. Looking at Su Li: "How do you know?" Su Li said: "It's not a secret, this is from Kebineng's allies in Xuchang." "Who is it?" Su Li shook his head, "For this, Kebi Neng is very mysterious and has never said it to anyone. However, since he can know such a big thing, he must be an important person under Cao Cao. ”
Zhang Lang nodded. looked at Su Li, "Since Kebineng has learned the news, he will definitely make a move, right?" ”
Su Li nodded, "Not long ago, Kebi was able to gather all the leaders and generals and make a plan for the battle. Kebi can command a million-strong army to attack Daijun and Shanggu, in order to wipe out the 700,000 Cao army there in one go, and then sweep this Youzhou to capture Jizhou. For the general's side, Kebi was able to lead the 200,000 elite cavalry of the headquarters to launch an attack with the 650,000 troops stationed in Bingzhou, the main purpose was to contain the general! ”
Zhang Lang smiled coldly, "His plan is very good!" He looked at Su Li and smiled: "It seems that Budu is not willing to make wedding clothes for others?" ”
Su Li said with some indignation: "At the beginning, the two families joined forces, and said that the benefits would be shared equally between the two sides, but as Kebineng's power became bigger and bigger, they didn't take us seriously. If this continues, sooner or later we will be completely swallowed up by Kebineng! ”
Zhang Lang smiled and asked, "How many troops can you use alone?" ”
"There are a million remnants of people who are completely loyal to Budugen, and they can gather an army of 600,000."
Zhang Lang showed a thoughtful look, and said to Su Li: "The envoy must have worked very hard all the way," turned his head to Wang Yi and said, "Order someone to prepare a banquet in the back hall." Wang Yi promised and ran down. Zhang Lang said to Su Li: "The messenger will rest for the time being, and I will talk while we have a banquet later." Su Li thought for a moment and nodded. Zhang Lang said to a tiger guard: "Lead the messenger to the guest room to rest." The Tiger Guardian clenched his fists and promised, leading Su Li down.
Zhang Lang immediately said to another Tiger Guard: "Go and invite Mr. Wenhe and Miss Cai Yan here, and say that I will invite them to drink." The Tiger Guardian clenched his fists and ran down.
Dong Ying asked Zhang Lang: "Big brother, is what that person said true?" ”
Zhang Lang touched his chin and thought, "I feel that it should be true!" Budugen and Kebineng were not particularly harmonious in the first place, and there was a war between the two sides. It was only because they wanted to loot and annex the states that they united. Later, they jointly defeated the Xiongnu, and many tribes came from each other, and their strength swelled countless times. Despite this, the problem between the two has not really been resolved. Glancing at Dong Ying, "I was also going to send someone to lobby Bu Dugen, but I didn't expect him to send someone first!" ”
About a quarter of an hour later, Jia Xu and Cai Yan came together, saw Zhang Lang, and bowed to him.
Zhang Lang stood up, walked to the bottom of the hall, helped the two of them, and said with a smile: "You two don't have to be polite!" Cai Yan looked at Zhang Lang with beautiful eyes, Jia Xu smiled and hugged his fists and asked, "The lord must have something important to summon him at night!" Zhang Lang smiled and nodded, "There is a guest here tonight, you might as well guess who this guest is?" ”
Jia Xu and Cai Yan glanced at each other, and Jia Xu smiled: "This is not easy to guess!" He looked at Cai Yan and asked, "Miss Cai, can you guess?" ”
