Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Okay." Let's all go down and prepare. The army set out a day later. ”

Everyone glanced at each other, saluted Yuan Shao, and retreated. When Gongsun Chan and Ma Teng passed by Zhang Lang's side, they threw appreciative looks at him.

After a while, only people from Yuan Shao's side were left in the huge hall.

Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Xi, with a very disappointed look in his eyes, and scolded: "Zhang Miao's matter, how can you mention it in public?" Don't you know that this will embarrass me? ”

Yuan Xi saw that his father was angry, and he was terrified, and hurriedly said: "Father is angry!"

The son just felt that if this matter was known by others and publicized, it would probably be detrimental to his father, so he simply took the initiative to mention it. In this way, no one dares to say that my father is selfish! ”

Yuan Shao felt that what Yuan Xi said was also reasonable, and his face was a little better. Snorted, and said angrily: "This time, I am the prince of the Eighteenth Route to crusade against Dong Thief, and I have a lot of expectations for you, but in the battle, you have not shown anything, which really disappoints me!"

And although Mai'er is only your younger brother, this time he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, shocked the world, and is famous among the princes! You, the elder brother, should learn from him! ”

Yuan Xi's heart was shocked, and a boundless resentment and disbelief rushed up, making him almost scream. But in the end, I endured it.

Yuan Shao looked at Zhang Lang, his eyes softened, and he smiled: "Well done to buy!" Not only was he the first to enter Luoyang, but he also killed Zhang Miao with thunderous means to deter the heroes! ”

Zhang Lang hugged his fists and said: "Since my father decided to pursue Dong Zhuo, I also want to lead the army to take the lead." ”

Zhang Lang didn't want to save the child emperor who had never met him, but he just felt that since he was at war with Dong Zhuo, it was best to take this opportunity to cripple him or at least hit him hard, so as not to leave a disaster in the future.

Yuan Shao was very relieved to see that Zhang Lang took the initiative to ask to attack, patted this son's shoulder, nodded and said, "You go." Be safe. I still need you for the great cause of the Father! ”

Zhang Lang hugged his fists and promised, and led Zhang Liao, Chen Gong, and Zhang He to leave.

Yuan Xi was very unhappy when he saw his father valuing Yuan Mai so much, and the flame of jealousy was burning brightly, and he could hardly control it.

Xu You squinted his eyes and saw Yuan Xi's expression in his eyes, a trace of unfathomable expression flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to normal, and hugged his fist at Yuan Shao with a smile and said, "The fourth prince can be described as a hero of the world!" The lord has four sons, why worry about the great cause? ! ”

Yuan Shao stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, looking very happy.

Zhang Lang and a few people came out of the gate, stepped on their mounts, and returned to their station.

At this time, Luoyang became very noisy and noisy because of the arrival of many princes' armies, and countless refugees in ragged clothes and vegetables were mixed in, which made the entire Luoyang City look a little chaotic.

Chen Gong couldn't help but sigh: "The Eighteenth Route Princes will join the alliance to crusade against Dong Thief!" What a magnificent chapter! But I didn't expect that it would be better to be famous than to meet, among these many princes, only Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Mengzhu, as well as Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng are characters!

The rest of them are all busy people, and they participate in this matter just to get a little benefit! ”

Zhang Liao said: "Mr. is wrong, although Cao Cao and others can be called characters, they are a few points inferior to their sons!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "I blushed when Wen Yuan said this. I don't dare compare myself to those big guys! ”

Zhang Liao said: "In the heart of the last general, only the son can be regarded as a real big man!" ”

Seeing Zhang Liao's serious appearance, Zhang Lang couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.

Chen Gong pondered: "Childe's situation is rather embarrassing. As a young son, he is so radiant, making the second son Yuan Xi, who was originally pinned on by the Yuan family, completely dim! How can such a situation not be hated?

At today's meeting, a group of princes unanimously catered to the second son, and the embarrassment with the prince came from this! ”

Zhang Liao snorted angrily: "A group of clowns jumping off the beam! ”

Chen Gong said with a smile: "As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge an open gun, but it's hard to defend against a dark arrow!" It has always been this kind of beam-jumping clown that is the most difficult to prevent! ”

Zhang Lang's heart moved, and he understood that Chen Gong was reminding himself tactfully.

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "We don't need to think about these things for the time being, what we have to think about now is to pursue Dong Zhuo!" ”

Then he said with a solemn expression: "Although we defeated Dong Zhuo and recaptured Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's main force almost didn't have any losses!" If they are allowed to escape back to Guanzhong safely, it will definitely be a great disaster in the future! ”

Everyone returned to the camp all the way, and Zhang Lang immediately gave the order to prepare for the attack.

Early the next morning, Zhang Lang led the Sharp Blade Army, the Eagle Yang Army, the Cangting Army, and the Long Xiang Army out of the West Gate of Luoyang to the west to pursue Dong Zhuo. Zhang Yeyu and the Five Hundred Eagle Yang Army did not follow, they still stayed in the palace.

At the same time, in the Taishi Mansion in Luoyang, Xu You and the second son Yuan Xi came together,

When they saw Yuan Shao, they saluted together, and then Yuan Xi couldn't wait to say: "Father, Yuan bought him too messily, and he used up most of the grain and grass in the Luoyang warehouse without his father's consent!" ”

Yuan Shao was surprised, looked at Xu You, and asked, "What's going on?" There was some anger in his tone. It's no wonder, after all, the army is out on the battlefield and has consumed countless grains and grass, and Yuan Shao is waiting to use Luoyang's reserves to fill the gap.

Xu You hugged his fists and said: "After the fourth prince entered the city, he took out about seventy percent of the grain and grass stored in the granary to help the refugees who fled from the north,......"

Yuan Shao's eyes widened and he shouted, "Use about seventy percent of the grain and grass to help the victims?!" Do you need that much? ”

Xu Yu said: "It is estimated that there are more than one million refugees inside and outside the city, and they really need so much food and grass!" ……”

Yuan Xi immediately said: "No matter what the reason, how can he make such a major decision?" If my father does not punish him severely, won't everyone follow suit, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Yuan Shao frowned tightly and did not speak, he felt that Yuan Xi's words were reasonable.

Xu You saw Yuan Shao's thoughts, hugged his fists and said: "Lord, as the saying goes, the general will not be subject to the life of the monarch outside!" The fourth prince led the army to deal with it outside, how could he ask for the crime? Wouldn't this chill the hearts of the generals? ”

Yuan Shao's heart was shocked, and he nodded thoughtfully, the annoyance for Zhang Lang in his heart dissipated, and he nodded: "What Ziyuan said is extremely true. Let this be the end of the matter. ”

Seeing this, Yuan Xi was very dissatisfied in his heart, but his father had already decided, and he didn't dare to say anything more. Immediately thinking of Xu You fighting against him everywhere to defend that cheap seed, he was very annoyed in his heart, and cast an angry gaze at Xu You.

Xu Yu just didn't see it.

At this time, Yuan Shao couldn't help muttering: "Sent out most of my grain and grass in one go!" What a loser! Thinking of this, my flesh hurts.
