Maybe the previous remarks were that Zhang Lang had prepared them a long time ago, but at this moment, Zhang Lang really felt the respect of the people for him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSeeing Zhang Lang performing this ceremony, the people shouted "Long live the emperor!" "Kneel down to Zhang Lang. I think Liu Bei has been running Chengdu for several years, and he has never been so respected by the people. But Zhang Lang is more than superior to Liu Bei in this regard.

Zhang Lang, who was under the attention of tens of thousands of people, walked to the end of the long street listed by the people under the congratulations of everyone, and looked back, the people still refused to disperse for a long time, such a holy monarch. coveted in the hearts of the people.

At this time, Zhang Lang didn't know that there was a pair of eyes in the distance watching everything he was doing, and from the moment Zhang Lang ascended the city tower, those eyes had been watching him. It was only at this moment that the eyes began to change, and slowly began to moisten. sighed: "The sky has eyes, and it has this master." The blessing of the people. ”

In the exclamation, it seems to reveal infinite gratitude, as if he is grateful for Zhang Lang's appearance, this person is none other than Zhang Lang who has a 15-day appointment to rectify Chengdu - Zuo Ci.

Today, Zhang Lang and Zuo Ci's appointment has only reached 12 days, Zhang Lang has fulfilled his promise, Chengdu, restored the appearance of the past, you can hear the sound of people when you go out, and the streets are crowded. Not only that, under Zhang Lang's careful arrangement, Chengdu and other places have also promoted exchanges with southern Xinjiang, both in terms of culture and products. This is something that Liu Bei or even Zhuge Liang did not do when they were there.

And Zhang Lang can do this, all thanks to one of his good helpers - Mrs. Zhurong! At first, Zhang Lang's plan was to arrange for Mrs. Zhurong to find a group of people to pretend to be merchants, but he didn't expect that his fake show was really done. This is the way to promote exchanges between the two communities. In fact, Southern Xinjiang originally wanted to communicate with Chengdu and other economically prosperous places, but Liu Bei was dissatisfied with the entry of the people of Southern Xinjiang into Chengdu. This stifled the initial communication between the two tribes.

On that day, when Zhang Lang was planning how to pursue Liu Bei in the hall, he suddenly heard a soldier outside the door preaching: "Report to the lord, there is a person outside the door who said that Mr. Zuo sent him and asked to see the lord." ”

As soon as he heard that it was sent by Zuo Ci, Zhang Lang immediately met with the person who came, only to see a young boy, walking in the door, although he was only in his early twenties, but his dusty temperament made Zhang Lang judge at a glance that this person must be a child under Zuo Ci.

"I wonder if the gentleman has any advice?"

Xiao Tong replied respectfully: "General Zhang doesn't have to be polite, the family teacher sent me to tell General Zhang, the appointment between the family teacher and General Zhang is limited to half a decade, but the general can complete it within ten days." The family teacher ordered me to thank General Zhang on behalf of the people of the world. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Lang seemed to realize something: "What about Mr. Zuo? Why didn't he come? ”

"The family teacher knew that General Zhang would stay, but the family teacher asked me to tell the general that he was just a wild crane in the countryside. I hope the general doesn't mind. Although it was only a few short sentences, Zuo Ci's meaning was already quite obvious.

Zhang Lang's expression was a little gloomy, it seemed that all this was in Zuo Ci's hands, and Xiao Tong took out a sheepskin scroll from his arms and handed it to Zhang Lang: "The family master ordered me to present this thing to General Zhang, hoping to help the general study the Book of Heaven." ”

Zhang Lang was overjoyed, took the sheepskin scroll in the child's hand, and looked at it full of Chinese, but it was too profound, which made Zhang Lang a little confused. I thought it would be better to leave it to Zhang Ning to study.

Sending the child away, Zhang Lang began to think about how to attack the White Emperor City again, Zhuge Liang has been marching east for more than ten days, but Zhang Lang sent out at this moment but there is no response for a long time. At this time, there is no need to think about it, the Black Eagle Guard sent by Zhang Lang must be looking for a suitable opportunity, and after more than ten days of travel, Zhuge Liang is probably already sitting in the hall of White Emperor City at this moment.

After studying for a long time and not coming up with a good solution, Zhang Lang summoned Guo Jia to come to the discussion.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Zhang Lang with a gloomy face, and Guo Jia, who had followed him for decades, could certainly guess Zhang Lang's thoughts at the moment, and hugged his fists and said: "Lord, but are you worried about how to attack White Emperor City?" ”

"There is no one who knows me more than Feng Xiaoye. Seeing that you are so relaxed, have you already come up with any ideas? Come on. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, in fact, as soon as we entered Chengdu, I wrote to Shiyuan to discuss how to forge ahead. After some epistolary controversy, the matter was finally settled. ”

Hearing this news, Zhang Lang was of course excited, but at this time, he still sounded a wake-up call for Guo Jia: "Oh? You've been deliberating about this for a long time. You didn't even tell me? ”

Zhang Lang's rhetorical question did not make Guo Jia flinch, only to see him smile and reply: "Back to the lord, you were busy dealing with the problem in Chengdu at that time. So I don't want the lord to worry too much. ”

"Haha...... Just say it. Zhang Lang's hearty laughter resounded throughout the hall.

"Shi Yuan, the first point he said when he replied was to oppose the immediate attack on the White Emperor City, although he was far away in Xiliang, he also gave a clear analysis of the situation in Chengdu and what choice Zhuge Liang would make, Zhuge Liang would definitely be a hindrance among the people of Chengdu, and the first thing we had to solve was to stabilize Chengdu. This has been done in the decision of the lord. One more point is crucial. Speaking of which, Guo Jia sold Guanzi.

Zhang Lang was listening to it, Guo Jia suddenly stopped, after all, Zhang Lang is a person who has gone through the wind and waves, and he is not angry about it, on the contrary, according to his understanding of Pang Tong and Guo Jia, if he is not sure and planned, he will not be so calm and relaxed, so the more calm Guo Jia becomes, the less anxious Zhang Lang is.

Guo Jia saw that Zhang Lang was not urging himself, so he slowly said a question that everyone was concerned about: "Lord, have you paid attention to what I just said?" General Zhou's army was already beginning an offensive against Xiliang. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Lang suddenly realized: "Yes, Xiliang Ma Chao!" "This is the character named by Zhang Lang to stay, otherwise with Ma Chao's little strength, I am afraid that he would have died in the hands of Pang Tong and Zhou Yu long ago.

"Yes, as the lord expected, Xiliang Elite really deserves its reputation, if it weren't for Shi Yuan's proper arrangement, it would have almost suffered a big loss from Ma Chao. I believe that at this moment, Zhou Dudu should have withdrawn from Xiliang and annexed the Tianshui area. Guo Jia replied confidently.

Fang Cai didn't make Zhang Lang anxious, and at this time, he heard that Zhou Yu was not advancing but retreating, which made him a little puzzled: "How could Zhou Yu retreat?" ”

"Lord, I don't know, although Ma Chao doesn't have many soldiers and horses, all of his men are excellent cavalry, and the terrain is flat, our army is very disadvantaged. Only then did he retreat. In fact, there is a more important reason ......"

Zhang Lang heard Guo Jia's details: "Haha...... Okay, a good one to concoct the same way. Just grasped Ma Chao's weakness. Now he can't fly out of the palm of my hand. ”
