Taking advantage of the situation and not taking advantage of the opportunity will definitely delay the opportunity, Cheng Yuan nodded and agreed after thinking about it, and said: "It's okay, I will order you to be the vanguard, give you 3,000 soldiers, and take the lead in setting off Lang Yuan." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Lan replied happily.

"Don't, if there are few soldiers in the city, attack it, if there are many soldiers, retreat! You must think twice, and you must not act recklessly!" Although Zhang Lan's guess can be put into practice, Cheng Yuan still retains a bit of caution.

Originally, when he heard Cheng Yuan's promise on his side, Chu Yang was about to dissuade him, but when he heard the addition later, he was relieved, if it is desirable, it is the best, if it is not desirable, it is the best, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, it will never be wrong to sail carefully for 10,000 years! At least it can probe the reality of the enemy army!

Zhang Lan opened her mouth when she heard this, and replied with some reluctance: "Yes......"

Immediately pointed out 3,000 horse infantry troops, and marched to Langyuan County.

Cheng Yuan continued to lead the troops forward, and saw that Chu Yang, who was still in high spirits at the beginning, was now silent, and he asked suspiciously, "Why did Chu Yang have a worried look on his face?"

"I think it's a little inappropriate to let General Zhang take the lead in sending troops, and I'm always a little relieved, so I'm a little worried. Chu Yang immediately turned around and replied with Cheng Yuan.

"Oh, what does Chu Yang have to say?" Cheng Yuan asked.

In this way, Cheng Yuan is still a good general, and he is not conceited that he is a general who leads the army, he only hopes to live up to Lu Hang's mission to recapture Lang Yuan, so he likes to listen to the persuasion of loyalty.

"Since Ma Zhong can know that the city with few soldiers is convenient to capture, how can he be in danger again, and he will also have a small number of soldiers to garrison it! And he can know that Lang Yuan has no soldiers, and he must also know that Hequan has few soldiers, since there are few soldiers in the two places, why doesn't he take both cities and take Lang Yuan alone?" Chu Yang said his doubts on the horse.

"Because the river spring is far away from Youling, it is inconvenient to attack. Zhao Fan rode into half of his body and said.

Chu Yang glanced back at him, and said with a slight smile: "Yuan? Since you plan to capture Qiaozhou, will you still care about going to this forty or fifty miles away? If you care about it, then why does our army still have to take a detour from Hequan to the Quweitun army? What's more, after capturing Hequan, we can strangle our Qingyun garrison and go north to rescue, and it will be convenient for it to capture the state capital.

"What does the general mean?" Zhao Fan no longer refuted, he considered the seriousness of the matter, and some did not dare to say it later.

"I guess it must be the whole army attacking Lang Yuan, and there are no extra troops to take Hequan!" Chu Yang's words shocked everyone present.

Zhao Fan was shocked just now, but it was fleeting, he smiled and waved his hand and said: "The general is too worried, I think that Ma Zhong really has a large army, so why not take two cities together, but only one city?"

"It's all because the woodcutter found out that his army was entering the country, so he had no choice but to take Lang Yuan nearby first, and then slow down the plan!" After Chu Yang's analysis, Cheng Yuan finally understood, and he took the lead in speaking before Chu Yang spoke.

"Oh! Such a major military situation, why didn't the general stop it!" Zhao Fan slapped his thigh and said angrily.

"When I was waiting to be dissuaded, I heard the general's instructions to take what was desirable and retreat if it was not desirable, so I did not dissuade it. Chu Yang explained.

"Alas...... You don't know that Zhang Lan's usual habits, he is in a hurry to do things for others, and he will act rashly nine times out of ten this time. Zhao Fan sighed and said regretfully.

Cheng Yuan hurriedly summoned a light cavalry backwards and said, "You hurry up and catch up with Zhang Lan, let him stop the march, and wait for our army to arrive before making siege discussions!"

The light rider hurriedly agreed, and quickly rushed over.

Zhang Lan was leading the army forward for more than ten miles, and suddenly heard someone behind him report that it was the light cavalry just now, Zhang Lan stopped the horse and asked, "What's the matter?"

General Cheng ordered General Zhang to stop his pace and wait for him to arrive before discussing. The cavalry dismounted and reported.

"General Cheng is too cautious, he doesn't dare to look at the battlefield when he marches and fights, how can he win?" Zhang Lan laughed on his horse, didn't listen to Cheng Yuan's order at all, and added: "You go back and tell General Cheng that the general's order will not be affected by the king's order abroad, and see me use 3,000 soldiers to recapture Lang Yuan!"

Then he ignored the cavalry who knelt on the ground to dissuade him, turned around and said to the men and horses behind him: "General Cheng is not worried that I can take Lang Yuan, and the army will go with me! Don't let him look down on him!"

Then the horse was quickly beaten and the speed of the march was added, and after a short time, he rushed to the city of Langyuan, and looked up after arriving at the city, and saw a banner hanging on the city, writing the word "Zhou".

Zhang Lan looked at the handsome flag fluttering in the wind on the city, and said with a smile to the deputy general beside him: "Look, the word 'Zhou' in the flag book is not the word 'horse', so it can be more concluded that Ma Zhong's army did not enter this city, and almost missed the military situation, Cheng Yuan is light-eared!"

"The general is really wise!" echoed the adjutant general beside him.

Zhang Lan patted the horse a few steps forward, raised the spear in his hand and pointed directly at the city tower, shouting: "The rats are not going to open the city and surrender quickly, let alone when!"

Just finished scolding, I saw the city gate open, a team of men and horses with halberds and flags rushed out, a general rode a high-headed horse to bear the brunt, after the military horse out of the city, the two armies were separated by more than 30 zhang.

Zhang Lan pointed the spear in his hand at the general, and shouted loudly: "The enemy general is a common name, and this general will not kill the nameless ghost under the gun!"

Coming to hold a handle in his hand, the blade pointed at Zhang Lan and scolded: "Grandpa Zhou Ting, don't forget your grandfather's name when you die under the knife!"

After communicating with each other, the two of them got off the horse's belly with their crotches and rushed to kill each other, Zhang Lan was like a fart to Cheng Yuan's entrustment.

Cheng Yuan led the army to continue to move forward, marched for another half an hour, and after arriving twenty miles away from Lang Yuan, he picked an intersection and went down to the village.

After camping down the village, he and Chu Yang had just entered the tent, and they heard that the horses sent out earlier came back with the dissuaded cavalry, Cheng Yuan sat behind the dragon and tiger case and let the cavalry speak first, and the cavalry said: "I led the general to order to go, and General Zhang not only did not listen to the dissuasion, but also accelerated forward." ”

As soon as the cavalry finished speaking, the spy also knelt on the ground and said: "Report to the general, I was ordered to go to Lang Yuan to investigate, just arrived not long ago to see General Zhang lead a team of men and horses to attack the city, Lang Yuan City guard is named Zhou Ting, General Zhang and Zhou Ting fought dozens of rounds of inseparable, the two were fighting when they suddenly killed the enemy from both sides, General Zhang was unprepared and suddenly surprised, was slashed by Zhou Ting under the horse, our army was defeated. ”

Cheng Yuan stood up from the horse with a thud, kicked over the dragon and tiger case in front of him, and scolded: "I have told you to beware of acting carefully! Who knew that this guy did not do an investigation, and went straight to the siege of the city!"

Zhao Fan comforted beside him: "Don't worry, general, Zhang Lan is in a hurry to advance and doesn't listen to dissuasion, he deserves this fate." ”

Although this is a bit ugly, it is also an indisputable fact, and when marching and fighting, we must be cautious in everything, and it does not matter if we use such a person to lead the army to fight and die ourselves, and do not burden the army! His death is indeed not a pity.

"I'm only annoyed that this guy broke my 3,000 men and horses under the recklessness! If you lose the first battle, you will definitely rub the sharp spirit of our army!" Cheng Yuan gasped and scolded.

Chu Yang didn't say a word on the side, but stepped forward to help the case up, he couldn't help but feel a little trance in his heart, and he had a conversation with Zhang Lan an hour ago, this short period of time was actually separated by yin and yang, although he didn't have much intersection with him, but he was also a general, which couldn't help but make him a little uncomfortable.

Looking at Cheng Yuan and Zhao Fan, they only pursue whether they win this battle or not, and they die in battle as if they were nothing. Of course, it can't be said that they are ruthless, it can only be said that they have been on the battlefield for a long time, and life and death have long been downplayed.

Chu Yang took a few deep breaths, shook this messy thought out of his mind, and asked the spy, "Can you find out the soldiers and horses in Lang Yuan City?"

"There are no less than 30,000 people in the city. The spy replied.
