Chapter 317: Speculation

Zhang Lang saw Huang Yueying asking, and said with a smile: "Guess." ”

Huang Yueying glanced at Zhang Lang angrily, "Big brother! ”

Zhang Lang smiled, rubbed his palm against Huang Yueying's waist and said, "We have already won the ...... Xiangyang" Huang Yueying showed surprise. Zhang Lang continued: "Sun Jian's 400,000 main force was basically wiped out by us, and now the remnants of the defeated army have retreated to Jiangdong, and I have left the Tiger Wing Army to garrison Xiangyang. There is no need to worry about the threat from the south for the time being. ”

Huang Yueying thought about it, and suddenly snorted, her starry eyes were half-closed, her face was crimson, and she glanced at Zhang Lang with disgust, "Big brother, don't make trouble, people can't think about things anymore!" ”

Zhang Lang withdrew his troublesome hand, put it on his nose and smelled it, and exclaimed: "It's so fragrant!" Huang Yueying was bright and red, and her heart was full of gentle feelings.

Put aside the thoughts in his heart for the time being, think about the current situation, and said with a slight frown: "Now the situation in Luoyang is still not fundamentally improving, it is not an easy thing to turn the crisis into safety, I am afraid it will take a few big battles!" Glancing at Zhang Lang, he said with some concern: "Even if more than 300,000 main forces arrive, the strength of our army is still far inferior to Cao's army, and it will not be easy to hold Luoyang!" ”

Zhang Lang pondered for a moment and asked, "I heard that there are many people among the officials who advocate abandoning Luoyang, right?" ”

Huang Yueying frowned and said, "In the opinion of scholars, the eldest brother doesn't have to pay attention to them. ”

Zhang Lang looked at Huang Yueying with a smile.

Huang Yueying was panicked by Zhang Lang, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with the eldest brother?" ”

Zhang Lang suddenly took her into his arms and kissed her red lips, "Big brother loves you to death!" ”

Huang Yueying was ashamed, happy and overwhelmed.

Zhang Lang let go of Huang Yueying and said with a smile: "There are so many men in the world, but few people have such insight as Sister Yueying!" Women don't let the eyebrows be shaved, it's probably you! ”

Huang Yueying was very embarrassed by Zhang Lang.

Kill...... Suddenly there was a sound of fighting outside. Zhang Lang frowned and stood up, Huang Yueying followed and stood up, stood beside Zhang Lang, listened carefully, and said to Zhang Lang: "It seems to be outside the South Gate." ”

Zhang Lang said with a smile: "Eighty percent of it was Cao Jun who went to steal the camp!" Immediately rushed out of the hall, and the tiger guards under the leadership of Xiao Long greeted them, waiting for orders.

Zhang Lang said: "Follow me to the south city wall." He led the people out of the gate, stepped on the horses, and galloped away in the direction of the south gate. The originally quiet streets were full of people moving around the city, and the movement outside the city made the defenders inside the city a little uneasy.

Zhang Lang came to the south gate at the fastest speed, Huang Zhong followed Zhang Lang, hugged his fists and said: "There is a Cao army raiding the military camp outside the city, and our army is ambushed, the Cao army immediately retreated, and now General Ma Chao is pursuing!" ”

Zhang Lang looked up at the outside of the city, and saw a wave of torches surging towards the Cao army camp. Zhang Lang frowned, and said to Huang Zhong: "Immediately give the order to withdraw the army!" Huang Zhong received the order, and immediately ordered the herald to ring the golden bell, and the loud sound of Dangdang rang far away in the night.

Ma Chao, who was killing outside the city, frowned when he heard the bell, and he was unhappy, but he ordered all the troops to stop the pursuit at the first time. The turks stopped and began to retreat.

And at this moment, not far ahead, Xiahoudun, who was ambushed in the woods, saw that Lu Bu's cavalry had retreated, and he was greatly depressed. The general asked Xiahoudun: "General, do you want to pursue?" Xiahoudun said angrily: "Chase a fart!" Catching up doesn't necessarily mean winning! The order went down and returned to the camp. The general answered the promise and ran down. Immediately, the brigade of soldiers slowly came out of the woods and retreated in the direction of the main camp.

Ma Chao was retreating to a small hill, and Ma Tie next to him suddenly pointed behind him and shouted, "Big brother, look! Ma Chao reined in his war horse and looked back, and saw that there were infinite people and horses in the woods in the distance coming out and retreating to the Cao army camp. Ma Chao was taken aback, and then secretly rejoiced, he admired Lu Bu even more!

Cao Jun's big tent.

Cao Cao paced back and forth in the big tent, and all the civil and military forces stood under the tent left and right.

Xiahou clasped his fists and said: "Prime Minister, it's just that there are more than 100,000 cavalry, just kill them in one go!" The generals chimed in.

Cao Cao frowned and was silent. Guo Jia said: "General Xiahou, things are not so simple! In today's battle, although our army cannot be said to be defeated, it has been bruised by the turquoise cavalry led by Lu Bu, and today's casualties are too great! With the current state of our army, it will be difficult to sweep Luoyang in a few days. There is another uncertain factor, and that is the situation of Sun Jian. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Why was Lu Bu able to lead a large group of cavalry over without us receiving the slightest warning? The worst-case scenario is that Sun Jian may have been defeated by them, and our Nanyang may have been lost! ”

Zhang Jaw asked puzzledly, "If that's the case, why didn't General Li Dian raise the alarm like us?" ”

Guo Jiasi pondered: "It should have happened too quickly, and Li Dian didn't have time to raise the alarm at all!" ”

Cao Cao said: "If this is the case, then there will be hundreds of thousands of main forces of Lu Bu's army arriving at the Luoyang battlefield!" The next battle is troublesome! I will, continue the onslaught, and all the light cavalry will be placed to the south in case of contingency. ”

And the congregation began to discuss. Guo Jia walked up to Cao Cao and whispered: "Kong Ming is treacherous like a ghost, I'm worried that he won't play his cards according to common sense!" If I were him, I would never come directly to support Luoyang, but would directly threaten Xuchang east through Xuanyuan Mountain. ”

Cao Cao frowned, "Don't worry about this!" I don't believe that Zhuge Liang had the audacity to threaten my Xuchang at the expense of his lord and Luoyang. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Zhuge Liang has such courage, but I have placed 100,000 troops in Xuanyuan Mountain, it is impossible for him to defeat them in a short time, if he really dares to do that, he will give Luoyang to me! I can't ask for it! ”

Guo Jia frowned and said: "Lord, I'm afraid that Xu Chu, who is guarding Xuanyuan Mountain, is not Zhuge Liang's opponent." ”

Cao Cao thought for a while, "In this way, I will send someone to summon Xu Chu and ask him to be vigilant and not careless!" At the same time, he ordered the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yuzhou to move closer to Xuanyuan Mountain! ”

Guo Jia said: "Lord, why don't I go to Xuanyuan Mountain in person." ”

Cao Cao shook his head, "No, I have to discuss the military with Li often, how can I leave you!" He smiled, "Bonghyo, you don't have to worry too much!" No matter how treacherous Zhuge Liang is, his strength is obvious, I now transfer 200,000 troops to defend, what can he do? ”

Guo Jia was faintly worried in his heart, but when he saw that he couldn't convince Cao Cao, he stopped persuading, and after thinking about it, he felt that what the lord said was also reasonable, and he might be too worried!
