When Zhang Lang came back from outside, he saw Dong Ying wearing a soft long skirt and leaning against the window of the moon cave to drink tea, lazy, soft and weak, which was very different from the usual style, which opened Zhang Lang's eyes. walked over, sat down, hugged Dong Ying's waist, buried his head in the deep ravine and kissed it.

Dong Ying squinted her eyes and snorted lightly, and slapped him angrily, "What are you doing?" People are comfortable, but you're here to make trouble! ”

Zhang Lang arched his head in Dong Ying's arms to make himself more comfortable, closed his eyes and said, "Don't make noise!" Let me rest and rest! ”

Dong Ying couldn't cry or laugh, glanced at him, and rubbed his hair involuntarily.

Zhang Lang sat up suddenly, "Rest well." ”

Dong Ying pursed her lips and smiled, "That's good?" ”

Zhang Lang smiled and nodded. glanced at Dong Ying, and asked with some surprise: "Why is Yingying dressed like this today?" Dong Ying glanced at him, "Isn't it good?" Zhang Lang nodded vigorously, "Okay!" Then he grinned and said, "My warbler seems to have become beautiful!" Dong Ying said angrily: "You mean, didn't I be beautiful in the past?" Zhang Lang said with a smile: "The taste of the past is completely different from the present!" Now it seems to be gentle, like last night, so night! Then he said with an intoxicated face: "Thinking of last night's scene, I can't control myself anymore!" Looking at Dong Ying with a wicked smile, one hand actually touched Dong Ying's thigh.

Dong Ying glared at Zhang Lang with a scarlet face, and suddenly raised her foot to kick on Zhang Lang's shoulder, but she couldn't move. The anger in Zhang Lang's heart was enough, and he roared, grabbed one foot with one hand and pulled the two slender beautiful legs to the sides. Dong Ying gasped violently, and her beautiful eyes glared at Zhang Lang like fire.

Suddenly there was footsteps at the door.

The two of them, who were doing firewood, were startled, and looked towards the door together, only to see Dong Ying's pro-soldier captain come in, this pro-soldier captain is named Tao'er, a native of Guanzhong, and Xue Tong, a Qiang person, who is quite beautiful, and his figure is extremely fit, which is not much better than Dong Ying.

When Tao'er saw the appearance of the two, she immediately thought of something, her face turned crimson, and she forgot what she was doing, so she lowered her head and was shy.

Dong Ying hurriedly separated from Zhang Lang, and glanced at Zhang Lang angrily, Zhang Lang smiled. Dong Ying asked Tao'er: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Tao'er came back to her senses, "Ah, oh, that, Mr. Zhuge asks to see!" ”

"Let him in." Zhang Lang said.

Peach replied with a red face, and ran away as if she had escaped.

Zhang Lang looked at Tao'er's back and smiled, "This Tao'er is really interesting?" Dong Ying squinted her eyes and asked, "Did you fall in love with her?" If she does, I'll give her to you! Zhang Lang hurriedly waved his hand: "How can there be?" Then he said angrily: "You don't choose to eat when I'm hungry?" Dong Ying chuckled, "Hmph! Aren't you just hungry? ”

Zhang Lang knew that she was talking about Mrs. Cai, so he was speechless and started haha.

A moment later, Zhuge Liang followed Tao'er in. When he saw Zhang Lang and Dong Ying, he bowed separately: "Meet the lord, I have seen Mrs. Dong." ”

Zhang Lang said: "Kong Ming, there is no need to be so polite. Is there something wrong with coming to me? ”

Zhuge Liang immediately took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Zhang Lang with both hands, "This is the urgent report from Guanzhong that I just received." Zhang Lang frowned slightly, took the letter, opened it, and read it. He said in a deep voice: "The Wusun people have made a move on the Changshi Mansion!" ”

Zhuge Liang was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What is the result?" ”

"Zhang Jian's troops are not enough, so naturally he can't hold Loulan, and he has retreated into the nearby mountains."

Zhuge Liang pondered: "That situation is not very bad! ”

Zhang Lang put down the report and thought: "In the current situation, we can either send troops to recover Loulan immediately, or temporarily abandon the Western Regions, what should we do?" ”

"Don't give up!" Zhuge Liang said categorically, and then explained: "Loulan's gains and losses are a matter of importance, one is related to the smooth flow of the westward trade route, if we lose this trade route, our fiscal and tax revenue will be reduced by at least one-third; The second is related to the prestige of the lord, maybe some people think that prestige is just a useless face, but in fact, this is the most important sign for the common people to judge whether you are a strong person, a strong person, everyone is willing to follow. ”

Zhang Lang nodded, "Well, what you said is the same as I thought." After thinking for a while, he said to Zhuge Liang: "I appoint you as the governor of Nanyang and Hanzhong, in charge of the military and political affairs of the two places, and I will hand over these two places to you!" ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, "Does the lord want to conquer Loulan in person?" ”

Zhang Lang nodded.

Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "This doesn't seem necessary, right?" It's better for the lord to sit in the Chinese army! ”

Zhang Lang stood up and waved his hand, "The reason why I want to go to the expedition in person is mainly to look at the customs and geography of the Western Regions, and I am afraid that many of our military and political policies will be related to the Western Regions in the future!" He glanced at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile: "You can't just make plans because it's in the future, right?" Zhuge Liang hugged his fists with a look of respect and said: "The lord is wise, and he sees it much longer than his subordinates!" ”

Zhang Lang asked Zhuge Liang, "Shou Nanyang, what are you most worried about?" ”

Zhuge Liang pondered: "I am most afraid of the attack from the north and the south." ”

Zhang Lang thought for a moment, "What do you need me to do?" ”

Zhuge Liang showed a touched look, a lord like Zhang Lang who could let him defend and give him support was what he dreamed of. Zhuge Liang respectfully clenched his fists and said, "No need!" The lord has given enough! ”

Zhang Lang patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder, "I'll leave you a tiger guard, although the number is not much, but it can play a big role when it comes to poles!" "Thank you, my lord."

Zhang Lang thought for a while, "This matter is urgent, I will return to Chang'an tomorrow and plan to send troops." ”

Early the next morning, Zhang Lang left Nanyang, and Dong Ying left with him. The group drove lightly, all took fast horses, and rushed back to Chang'an a few days later.

As soon as he returned to Chang'an, Zhang Lang immediately convened the civil and military forces to discuss the western expedition, due to the problem of grain and grass, and finally decided to use 5,000 Tiger Wing Army and Long Tao Army under the command of 1,000 iron cavalry, the west expedition, Jia Xu, Cai Yong still sat in Chang'an, Zhang Lang himself as the commander of the westward expedition, Zhang Liao, the general of the Tiger Wing Army, accompanied by the deputy general, and Huang Yueying joined the army for the army. The order was issued, and Zhang Liao and Huang Yueying immediately went down to prepare.

Zhang Lang returned to the backyard of the General's Mansion and unexpectedly saw Yan Yuyao, Diao Chan and the Li family sisters, and was greatly surprised, and then overjoyed. The women who were talking turned their heads and smiled at him, Zhang Lang hurriedly ran up, grabbed Yan Yuyao's slender hand, and then held Diao Chan's Rouyi, and asked excitedly, "Why are you here?" ”
