Chapter 23: Decision

Within two minutes of Zhang Lang sending Chen Qi out, Zhao Yun came to ask for a meeting.

Zhao Yun rarely took off a suit of armor, a white silk robe, a black jade belt around his waist, a handsome face, sword eyebrows and stars, a tall body, a dragon and a tiger step, really indescribable and chic.

Zhang Lang was also secretly impressed when he saw it.

It's just that at this time, his face was gloomy, and he seemed to have something difficult to say. After saluting Zhang Lang, he knelt on the lintel and stopped talking.

Zhang Lang secretly wondered, although Zhao Yun was silent, he was not afraid of himself, as long as he did something wrong, he dared to speak out, and now it seems that something is wrong.

couldn't help but wonder a little: "Zilong seems to be preoccupied, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Yun sighed, his eyebrows furrowed, he wanted to speak, he looked up at Zhang Lang and stared at him, he couldn't help but feel empty, and the words he was about to say were buried in his mouth again, and he shook his head.

Zhang Lang was even more suspicious, and asked, "Why don't you say it directly if Zilong has something to say?" ”

Zhao Yun took a long breath, plucked up his courage, bravely looked at Zhang Lang's eyes, and said with a wry smile: "The general doesn't know, Zilong is worried about my sister's affairs." ”

"Zhao Yu?" Zhang Lang screamed strangely. He asked again, "What's wrong with her?" ”

Zhao Yun looked a little embarrassed and said: "My sister has been locked in the boudoir yesterday since the general's marriage, and she didn't take a step. Zilong couldn't do anything about it. ”

Zhang Lang was shocked, seeing that Zhao Yu was usually spicy, lively and cute, but since she came back from the Yellow Turban, she always felt a little strange when she looked at her. It's always awkward. Could it be ......

Zhang Lang was startled again.

But Zhao Yu is Zhao Yun's sister-in-law, how could he have bad intentions, and he has many wives, how can he have time to take care of it?

Zhang Lang's eyes rolled, and he could only pretend to be confused and smiled: "Haha, is it that your sister-in-law also wants to find a mother-in-law to marry, this matter is on me, I must find a talented and good-looking person, and I will definitely satisfy you." ”

Zhao Yun was anxious and moved, and said again and again: "The general misunderstood, Zilong didn't mean that." ”

Zhang Lang naturally knows what this means, but he no longer has the heart to hunt for beauty when he first arrived in your realm, and he is wholeheartedly committed to dominating the world, plus he already has Yang Rong, Wen Ji, and Mihuan are one of the best beauties in a million, if they are not satisfied, then they are too sorry for them, is it possible that he really wants to learn from the emperor's three palaces, six courtyards and seven two concubines?

Without waiting for Zhao Yun to speak, Zhang Lang laughed twice, attracted his attention, and changed the topic: "Zilong doesn't have to be humble, leave this matter to Zhiqing, and it will definitely satisfy you." By the way, Chen Jue came here just now, let's talk about some future development routes, can Zilong know? ”

Then Zhang Lang didn't wait for Zhao Yun to agree, and the words were endless, and he didn't let him have a chance to fight back.

Zhao Yun was restless, the meat didn't know the taste, and finally waited until Zhang Lang's saliva was splashed and replenished the water, and seized the opportunity to speak out urgently: "General, my sister's matter, Zilong knows the roots quite deeply, since the fight from Changshan to Xuzhou, Yu'er has changed a lot, Zilong also changed her surname at the beginning, and was secretly happy in his heart, and then by chance, he knew that my sister secretly had feelings for the general, although Zilong tried his best to persuade him, but it was useless. At this point, Zilong felt uneasy. After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Lang shyly.

Then he plucked up the courage and said: "I hope that the general will come to the house to visit my sister, Zilong is grateful." ”

Zhang Lang was like a deflated ball, muttering secretly, I knew you would say it, I don't want to waste so much saliva.

However, he valued Zhao Yun very much, and he had no choice, so he stood up, and said with a reluctant smile on his face: "Okay then." ”

Zhao Yun felt very ashamed of what he just said, if he was not in the know, he still thought that he wanted to climb Zhang Lang's family business, be a person who climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix, and pushed his sister into the abyss for the sake of status and money. I wonder if Zhang Lang has this idea in his heart?

There seemed to be a thorn in his heart, and he said a little dazedly: "General, is Zhao Yun like a person who loves vanity?" ”

Zhang Lang didn't know what Zhao Yun was thinking, patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Zilong is too worried, I don't dare to say what others are, but how Zilong is a person, Zhiqing's heart is clear." ”

Zhao Yun suddenly said with some impulsiveness: "What is the dragon in the general's heart?" ”

Zhang Lang stared at Zhao Yun, and stared at the railway road word by word: "Changshan Zilong, loyalty and righteousness are unparalleled." ”

Zhao Yunhu's eyes became wet, his hands returned to his fists, don't turn his head, and said in a somewhat dumb voice: "General Xie loves Dai Zilong so much. ”

Zhang Lang pulled him up and smiled, "Let's go see Zhao Yu." ”

Zhao Yun nodded excitedly, and the two went out.

After a while, he came to Zhao Yun's official house, although it didn't look very big, it was also very neat and practical. There were many servants and maids coming and going in the lobby, and seeing Zhang Lang and Zhao Yun saluting together, it was not the first time that Zhang Lang had been to Zhao Yun's mansion. I've been to the door before.

Under the leadership of Zhao Yun, Zhang Lang soon came to Zhao Yu's boudoir. Zhao Yun just wanted to knock on the door, Zhang Lang grabbed his hand, shook his head, and then said to Zhao Yun: "You go, I'll talk to her." Zhao Yun was a little confused, but he still retreated.

Zhang Lang saw Zhao Yun walking away, so he gently pushed the door in, and what caught his eye was the delicately and lovely boudoir with a patchwork arrangement. Zhao Yu was sitting stupidly in front of the copper realm, his big black eyes were distracted, and his face was no longer as ruddy and lovely, red and charming as a few days ago.

Through the mirror, I suddenly saw that the door had been pushed open, and a person walked in. Because Zhao Yu was depressed, he didn't see who the person was, he only knew that he was a man, and thought it was his brother.

Zhang Lang walked up gently, looking at Zhao Yu's unyielding appearance, and his heart softened again, it seemed that his immunity to beauties was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't see their expressions the most.

A little distressed, and a little pitiful, came to Zhao Yu's back, and said softly: "Little girl, what are you thinking, so obsessed?" ”

"Ahh Zhao Yu thought it was Zhao Yun, but when he heard the voice that he would dream of, he couldn't help but scream in surprise. Hurriedly stood up and looked back, and saw that Zhang Lang seemed to be smiling at her, usually bad, but today he looked at him with a gentle expression. For a while, I was excited and ecstatic, and I didn't know what to say. would only look at Zhang Lang stupidly, doubting that he was in a dream.

Both of them remained silent, and the atmosphere was very delicate. In the end, Zhao Yu couldn't match Zhang Lang's tender and striking eyes, his face gradually turned crimson, and his two slender hands began to rub the corners of his clothes unconsciously, and his heart was beating up and down.

Zhang Lang smiled slightly and said gently: "Girl, I heard your brother say that you haven't eaten for a day, haven't you?" ”

Zhao Yu felt a sweet feeling in his heart, and nodded gently.

Zhang Lang said softly: "Then I'll go and call the dining room to get something for you to eat." Then he smiled at Zhao Yu and turned away. When Zhang Lang left the door, Zhao Yu was so happy in his heart that he couldn't help jumping up.

After a while, Zhang Lang stepped in the door with some things, making Zhao Yu feel flattered. I don't know if it's because Zhang Lang is accompanying her on the side, or because she hasn't eaten for a day when she is hungry, at this time, her appetite is so big, and even Zhao Yu herself feels how this thing can be so delicious, so she eats half more than usual at once, and finally her little belly is full.

Zhang Lang didn't say a word on the side, just quietly watched Zhao Yu eat, and felt very good-looking.

After she finished eating, she said softly: "I remember that I will eat so much today every day." ”

Zhao Yujiao's cute face smiled lightly, revealing two cute dimples, and nodded lightly.

Zhang Lang stood up at this time, and said with a sense of relief: "Then I'll go, and I'll go to the house to find Rong'er and Wen Ji to play." ”

When Zhao Yu heard that Zhang Lang was leaving, he couldn't help but show a disappointed expression on his face, and the corners of his mouth moved twice, but he didn't say it. Zhang Lang secretly sighed in his heart that this is the delicate and lovely Zhao Yu, so depressed and unhappy, he also felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but step forward and put his big mouth to Zhao Yu's delicate and lovely ear and whispered a few words. Zhao Yu's face turned red all of a sudden, and that shy expression was very charming.

Zhang Lang laughed at her maliciously and turned away.

Zhao Yu flew to the couch after Zhang Lang went out, and couldn't help but smile happily.

Out of Zhao Yu's boudoir, Zhang Lang breathed a sigh of relief, the so-called people are not in vain. Just when he was thinking about what he was doing right or wrong, the anxious Zhao Yun came to him, and just wanted to ask, Zhang Lang made an ok hand gesture, although he didn't know what it was, but he knew that there was good news when he saw Zhang Lang's expression, and after sending Zhang Lang out in a hurry, he turned around and looked for Zhao Yu again.

In the blink of an eye, February has passed, and Xuzhou is thriving.

During this period, many heroes came to meet each other. There is Zhang Zhao, a native of Pengcheng, Xuzhou, and his son Bu. Zhang Zhao was studious and well-read when he was young. At the age of 20, he refused to take the test for filial piety and discussed current affairs with Wang Lang and others, which was deeply appreciated by Chen Lin. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhao avoided chaos in Yangzhou, and now he heard that his hometown Zhang Lang swept the yellow scarf, retired Cao Ying, and recruited talents, and came to meet each other. There are also Wu people from Wu County, Gu Yong, Zi Yuan sighed, who was originally under Cai Yong's door, heard that Xuzhou was stable inside and outside, and came to meet each other. Zhang Lang knew that these two people were masters of internal affairs, and they were entrusted with important tasks.

There is also Xu Sheng, a native of Jiaoxian County, Shandong, who is famous for his martial arts at a young age, and learned that Xuzhou recruited heroes to come to help. Xuzhou Xiaopei Jiang Yu, Zi Mountain, arm strength, tearing tigers and leopards, although reckless, Zhang Lang is not in his heart, left as a tent envoy.

At the same time, Zhang Lang ordered Xu Shu to take back his old mother to live in Xuzhou, let him do his filial piety, and make plans for himself with all his heart.

In 193 AD, in the spring of the 4th year of Chuping, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan fought continuously for two years, and Gongsun Chan was defeated and retreated to Youzhou. Yuan Shaowei Zhen Hebei. Cao Yingyanzhou fought against Lu Bu, and there were victories and defeats for each other.

As soon as he said, Zhang Lang gathered the crowd to discuss things.

Zhang Lang was the first to speak: "I have been in Xuzhou for a while, and now the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the grain is sufficient, and the place of the four wars in Xuzhou, we can choose a rear foundation as soon as possible, so that we can attack and retreat." ”

Tian Feng agreed. Seeing that his face is red and his skin is oily, he knows that he has been proud of the spring breeze recently.

He said: "The general's words are yes, our army should go to Yangzhou as soon as possible and go down to the south of the Yangtze River. It turned out that Zhang Lang had already told them that the strategic goal was transferred to Jiangnan, so they also knew it and agreed very much.

Zhang Liao is also full of armor and has an extraordinary style. opened his mouth and said loudly: "If our army wants to go down to Jiangdong, it must first go to Yangzhou, and the first to bear the brunt is Yuan Shu's army." Yuan Shu has as many as 100,000 elite soldiers, and there are many people who can recruit good fighters. So there are some difficulties. ”

Cheng Yu sneered twice, disapproving, and raised his head and said: "Yuan Shu's ability, only as a person who kills pigs and buys meat, what is there to worry about, my Xuzhou soldiers are strong and strong, although the soldiers are not as good as the arts, but they are all elite, all of them are one block ten." ”

Although Zhang Liao was unhappy when he heard this, his face was unhappy, but he knew that Cheng Yu's surname was like this, and he was not right about things or people, and he didn't take it to heart when he said that he was under the same person's account.

Although Xu Shu came to say that he was good, he also dared to say what he thought in his heart. However, the confidence is still a little insufficient: "Our army can take another front, send troops to Huai'an, Huaiyin, and attack Qu'a and Moling around Hongze." As long as we can take this place, our army can smoothly take Jiangnan. ”

Tian Feng only shook his head when he heard this: "No, this front is too long, our army's supply is unfavorable, and with such an attack on Moling, how can Yuan Shu stop, if the descendants of Tao Gong are picking among them and sending troops to cut off our army, it will be a dilemma at that time." ”

Zangba thought about it carefully and said seriously: "I think that Mr. Xu's plan is still feasible, and the general can send a large general to lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers to defend Hongze to resist Yuan's army." If Yuan's army goes north to Xuzhou, it will be attacked from two sides. If Yuan Shu divides his troops and attacks Xuzhou, the number of troops will be reduced, and it will not be conquered overnight. And guarding Hongze to avoid its essence, only guarding without fighting. When our army takes Qu'a and Moling, it is not too late to attack back. ”

Cheng Yu stroked his beautiful sideburns, two flashes flashed and one closed, and said in a deep voice: "Xuangao's meaning, the premise is that our army has a large number of soldiers and horses, and it can be the same as opening more fronts, but with my current ability in Xuzhou, it is really unwise to open three fronts, not to mention that Moling Liu Harrier is a generation that can be slaughtered by others, there are 100,000 soldiers, dozens of generals, if our army is divided into three ways, it may be difficult to take Moling in one fell swoop, if Liu Harrier defends to the death, once it enters the stalemate, our army comes from afar and the weakness gradually appears, and it will be defeated for a long time. ”

Guo Jia smiled and nodded: "Yes, what Zhongde said is that our army really can't open multiple fronts, with the intention of the next, Yuan Shu must not be unreasonable, if our army attacks Xuyi, first and Yuan Shu will be divided here." If he wins, he will continue to threaten Huainan and go down with a drum. If you can't win, you can retreat to guard Huaiyin and stand by. ”

Dian Wei only needs to fight a battle, and said in a rough voice: "Which one do you want to fight?" ”

"Yuan Shu." Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Tian Feng, replied at the same time.

Zhang Lang is as good as a stream, and when he sees that he is planning things, he agrees to attack Yuan Shu, and those who have other opinions just now, seeing Cheng Yu and others' explanations, have no objections. began to discuss how to break the technique.
