Chapter 103: Cold Arrow in the Back
Early the next morning, Zhang Lang led his army to set off, without alarming anyone and basically not attracting the attention of others, a total of 8,000 people left Luoyang and headed north.
At this time, an officer of the Tiger Ben Army rode up from the rear, hugged his fists and said: "General, the prime minister has passed on the book!" As he spoke, he took out a roll of bamboo slips and handed it to Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang took the bamboo slip, unfolded it and looked at it, with a thoughtful look on his face.
The officer clenched his fists and said, "If the general has no other orders, he will go back to resume his life." ”
Zhang Lang nodded and said, "It's hard work!" ”
The officer turned his horse's head and rode away.
Zhang Liao glanced at the bamboo slip in Zhang Lang's hand and asked, "General, but about grain and grass?" ”
Zhang Lang looked at the bamboo slips in his hand and said, "Dad said that the follow-up grain and grass are being transported, so we don't have to worry." ”
Zhang Liao frowned and said, "I just hope that nothing will go wrong!" The grain and grass we carry is only enough for eight days, and if the grain and grass behind us cannot be replenished in time, the consequences will be serious. ”
Zhang He said: "Wen Yuan doesn't have to worry. This matter is personally concerned by the prime minister, how dare others make a mistake! ”
Zhang Liao nodded and didn't speak, but he didn't trust Yuan Shao much in his heart. After experiencing Zhang Miao's incident, Zhang Liao now only believes in Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang put away the summons and said to the two: "Pass the order to go down and march towards the party at full speed!" The two of them clenched their fists and agreed, and Le turned their horses and ran down to give orders.
With the shouts of the two men, the speed of the entire army suddenly increased a lot, and the rumbling footsteps echoed in the early morning field.
The people walking on the official road, as well as the refugees who had just fled from the north, couldn't help but feel moved when they saw such an imposing army marching towards the north at full speed, and hurriedly dodged to both sides to make way for them.
"The imperial court has finally sent troops!" An old man who had fled from the north looked at the army rushing in front of him, and said with tears in his eyes.
A middle-aged man with him said worriedly: "I just don't know if they can defeat the Huns!" If we lose the battle again, I am afraid the consequences will be even more serious! At that time, Luoyang may be in danger! ”
"You don't want to talk nonsense?!" Next to him, a figure who looked like a butcher who was about to enter the city shouted angrily at the middle-aged man.
When the middle-aged man saw the butcher-like figure menacing, he couldn't help but panic in his heart and shrank his neck.
The old man hurriedly clasped his fists at the butcher-looking man and smiled: "The strong man should be angry, my family is just worried and afraid!" It doesn't mean anything else! ……”
The butcher-like man snorted, "What do you know! This army is no ordinary army! That's the fourth son of the prime minister, the elite of Yulin under the command of the current Yulin Zhonglang!
The princes of the Eighteenth Road crusaded against Dong Thief, if it weren't for the mighty of the four princes, who conquered Bishui Pass in one fell swoop, and broke through Luoyang to repel the main force of Dong Thief, who won and who lost in this battle is not certain!
With the bravery of the four princes, with the courage of the elite soldiers under the command of the four princes, the Huns will be defeated! ”
Many local people in Luoyang echoed it, and they were all full of confidence in Zhang Lang. If Zhang Lang saw this scene, he would be very surprised!
At this time, in Luoyang City, in Yuan Xi's mansion, Yuan Xi was standing by the lake in the backyard looking at the rippling blue water in front of him. Seeing that his brows were slightly furrowed, he didn't know what he was thinking.
Feng Ji came over from the outside quickly, came straight to Yuan Xi's side, hugged his fists and said, "Second son." ……”
Yuan Xi threw the bait in his hand into the lake and asked flatly, "That cheap seed is gone?" ”
Feng Ji nodded and said, "Let's go, almost all the elites under his command have been taken away!" Zhang Liao and Zhang He, the two fierce generals, also left with him."
Yuan Xi snorted coldly and muttered to himself: "Don't think about coming back this time." Then he asked, "Did Zhao De reply to the letter?" ”
Feng Ji shook his head and said, "I haven't received a reply from Zhao De yet." However, according to the time, he should have entered Taiyuan now, and maybe he has already connected with the Right Sage King. ”
Yuan Xi nodded, and then said a little depressedly: "In order to ask this Right Virtuous King to help, the price we paid this time is a bit big!" ……”
Feng Ji smiled and said: "The second son must not think like this, compared with everything that the second son will get in the future, this price can be said to be insignificant." ”
Yuan Xi nodded sympathetically, and then said with a gloomy face: "I didn't expect that a mere cheap breed would faintly threaten my status!" ”
Feng Ji also felt this emotion, I just felt that the rise of these four sons was too unexpected, who would have thought that such a low-born person would hide such a terrible ability, and there was such a brave person, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a hero!
If this person does not die, the status of the second son is bound to be seriously threatened! In order to get rid of him, this time he can say that he has made a bloody investment!
Zhang Lang led 8,000 elites to cross the Yellow River north into the jurisdiction of Hanoi County, and then went straight north along the official road, driving directly to Shangdang County in the north of Hanoi County.
Because according to the latest information received, a Xiongnu army has appeared near the county town of Shangdang, Zhang Yang led the army to fight with the other side several times, but there were more defeats and fewer victories, and the situation was not optimistic.
Zhang Lang rode on horseback, turned his head and asked Zhang He, who was following him: "Is Wang Kuang still standing still?" "Wang Kuang, that is, the Taishou of Hanoi County, after the end of the Eighteenth Road Princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo, this Wang Kuang returned to Hanoi County with the reward of the imperial court.
Zhang He frowned and shook his head, and said, "The last general has sent several messengers to urge him to send troops according to the general's orders, and he has promised every time, but there has been no follow-up after that. ”
Yueying, who followed Zhang Lang like a soldier in armor, said: "According to the information I have recently obtained, Wang Kuangzheng is using the title of canonization of the imperial court to expand his army on a large scale, and he has no intention of going north to deal with the Xiongnu at all.
This person may have the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and wants to wait for us to fight with the Huns and lose both, and then he will lead the army to sweep away the entire state and thus take the entire state into the bag! ”
Zhang Liao and Zhang He couldn't help but show anger, and Zhang He couldn't help but scold: "Such a villain! When this national crisis is at hand, all he thinks about is his own interests! What a damn one! ”
Zhang Lang couldn't help but think of the princes of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Ma Teng, and Gongsun Zhan, and only felt that these people could be called heroes and heroes.
Although people do not die for themselves, many times, there are some things that are worth doing at all costs!
When a man is alive, he does something and does everything.
Zhang He clasped his fists at Zhang Lang and said, "General, do you still want to send a messenger to Hanoi County?" ”
Zhang Lang sneered: "This kind of person is not worth talking about!" Send someone to tell Daddy about Wang Kuang, and our army will continue to advance at full speed! ”
