Zhang Lang's face was thoughtful, feeling that his strength was still too weak in this troubled world, and he must take this opportunity to increase his strength as much as possible. Everything is unreliable, except for its own strength.

As soon as he thought of this, he said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai, you are responsible for this recruitment work." You will recruit as many soldiers as you can for me according to our financial resources. ”

Chen Gong clenched his fists and agreed, and then said: "Although the general has the power to recruit soldiers and horses, and the prime minister has already issued an order, if the number of conscriptions is too large, I am afraid it will still arouse the suspicion of others."

Therefore, I think it would be more appropriate to expand our army to 20,000 men for the time being. ”

Zhang Lang felt that what Chen Gong said made sense, nodded, and said, "That's it." ”

Hurried footsteps could be heard in the distance. Zhang Lang and the three of them followed the sound, and saw a soldier of the Blade Force leading a tiger officer beside Yuan Shao over, and said with a fist: "General, the prime minister has sent someone." With that, he stepped aside.

The tiger officer immediately hugged his fist at Zhang Lang and said, "General, the lord summons the general to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss matters." ”

Zhang Lang felt that Yuan Shao must have convened the meeting in such a hurry because of the severe situation in Bingzhou, so he explained to Zhang Liao and Chen Gong, and followed the tiger military manager to leave the mansion and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Walking down the street on horseback, Zhang Lang could clearly feel that there were many more refugees in the city, and at the same time, an atmosphere of panic and anxiety permeated the city.

When I came to the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I saw Yuan Shaogao sitting at the top, and in the hall, in addition to the civil and military ministers under Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Ma Teng, and Gongsun Zan were also there.

Zhang Lang's heart couldn't help but feel surprised, and he stepped forward to bow to Yuan Shao and said, "Father! ”

Yuan Shao nodded at him, and Zhang Lang walked to the left and sat down under Cao Cao.

Cao Cao and Sun Jian, who was sitting above Cao Cao, both turned their heads and nodded at Zhang Lang with a smile. Zhang Lang also nodded in response with a smile.

And Yuan Xi, who was sitting opposite Zhang Lang, suddenly felt unbalanced in his heart after seeing Cao Cao and Sun Jian's attitude towards Zhang Lang so closely, and feelings of jealousy and hatred swelled up.

It turned out that not long ago, when Yuan Xi came in, Cao Cao and Sun Jian ignored him as if they didn't see him, which was in stark contrast to the attitude towards Zhang Lang just now. Yuan Xi saw it in his eyes, how not to hate.

"Alas! I didn't expect my Han Dynasty to be so ill-fated! Just experienced the Dong Thief Rebellion, the Huns followed the scourge again!

If the situation continues to develop like this, I am afraid that not only will it be difficult to protect Bingzhou, but even Luoyang, the land of Gyeonggi and the capital of the first good, will also encounter an unprecedented catastrophe! Yuan Shao said worriedly.

Most of the people present frowned, and their expressions became very solemn.

Cao Cao said: "Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang has led the army back to the north, and Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang has also promised to send troops to assist. With them, it should be possible to temporarily contain the offensive of the Huns, so that the situation will not be too bad.

And our side took this opportunity to send troops to gather grain and grass, and go north as soon as possible to reinforce, I believe that the Huns will not be rampant for long! ”

Sun Jian said: "I think that according to the plan we just agreed, Meng De and I will lead the troops and horses to guard Hongnong to prevent Dong thieves."

Then ask Brother Ma Teng to lead the army to return to Xiliang immediately, and harass and contain Dong Thief from the west at that time. In this way, it should be somewhat certain to curb the possible counterattack of Dong thief.

As for the first brother, he can gather his elite forces with peace of mind and enter the state as soon as possible to counterattack the Xiongnu. Brother Gongsun returned to Beiping and attacked the rear of the Huns from Beiping to the west.

If nothing else, it should be certain to repel the Huns. ”

Many people nodded, and Yuan Shao frowned: "According to this plan, it should be certain to repel the Huns." It's just that it's going to be difficult to recover the Gohara County and other places that they occupied. ”

Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Ma Teng, and Gongsun Zhan also frowned.

Cao Cao raised his head and said to Yuan Shao: "Brother Ben doesn't need to be in a hurry. The meal should be eaten in one bite, and we will first repel the attack of the Huns. ”

Yuan Shao nodded, glanced at the people present, and said resolutely: "That's it!" I hope there will be good news from Zhang Yang's side, and we will have more time to gather strength! ”

Cao Cao stood up and hugged his fist at Yuan Shao and said, "Time is running out." Now that the strategy is set, let's act now. ”

Sun Jian, Ma Teng, and Gongsun Zhan also stood up. Seeing this, Yuan Shao and the others also stood up. Yuan Shaochao hugged his fists and said to the four princes standing below: "In this way, then please leave it to you!" ”

The four princes smiled heartily, and Ma Teng said proudly: "They are all Han soldiers, and they should naturally be the same enemy in the face of foreign enemies!" Everyone present nodded in agreement.

The four princes hugged their fists towards Yuan Shao and turned around.

Yuan Shao looked at the backs of the four of them and couldn't help but sigh. Zhang Lang also looked at their backs, feeling a little happy and excited.

He had listened to Chen Gong's words before, and he thought that all the princes were selfish guys, and he was greatly disappointed,

However, at this moment, he found that although these famous people who have been famous for thousands of years have selfish intentions, they can stand up without hesitation in the face of foreign enemies, which can be described as a dignified Chinese husband!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of the other princes, and couldn't help but ask Yuan Shao: "Father, these princes are determined to fight against foreign enemies, so what about the other princes?" ”

Yuan Shao smiled coldly and scolded: "Those villains! After getting the official status he wanted, he made excuses and ran away. Who cares that the Huns are raging and the people are not living! Hmph, when I solve the problem of the Huns, I will make them pay! ”

Zhang Lang nodded, and couldn't help but think of Zhang Miao who entered Luoyang and burned and looted in Luoyang, but I was afraid that most of the other princes were also that kind of goods.

If they themselves are still engaged in burning, killing and looting, how can they worry about the Xiongnu ravaging and merging states, and merging states are not their territory.

Yuan Shao glanced at everyone present and said, "As the saying goes, the three armies go first before they move the grain and grass.

Although 500,000 loads of grain and grass were transported into Luoyang not long ago, due to the large number of victims entering Luoyang, these grains and grasses are still overstretched at the moment, and it is even more impossible to ensure that the army will attack!

Therefore, although the military situation in Bingzhou is urgent, the matter of our troops is not urgent.

I have already ordered the Bohai Sea to raise grain and grass, and at the same time ordered Jingzhou and Huainan to transfer a batch of grain and grass over as soon as possible. This will take time, so during this time, you should seize the time to expand your armaments and war, and wait for orders at any time, and you must not slack off. ”

The generals clenched their fists and promised.
