Chapter 160 Suspension of arms
Speaking of withdrawing troops, Sun Jian was a little unwilling to accept it. He turned his head to Zhou Yu and said, "Is it just leaving like this after losing tens of thousands of troops? Wouldn't those tens of thousands of brothers die in vain!"
Zhou Yu shook his head, "If we continue to fight, we will only suffer greater losses and will not gain anything! Look at Lu Bu, although the Pingnan army was transferred to Nanyang, it did not mean to attack Xiangyang at all! He was sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight. I was worried that no matter who wins with Liu Bei, he might be able to rush his army to the south to reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
Sun Jian frowned, "Isn't Lu Bu short of food and grass?"
Zhou Yu said: "This was the case before, but after taking Nanyang, Nanyang's Okura had fallen into his hands, and it was estimated that there were hundreds of thousands of dans, which was enough to support him to launch an abnormal attack!"
Sun Jian was silent for a moment, his face showed unwillingness, "Retreat!"
Zhang Lang looked at the report he had just received and smiled, "Zhou Yu and Sun Jian are indeed not simple!" He looked at Zhuge Liang, "You have all come to expect!" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly. At this moment, Zhang Lang and Zhuge Liang were both in the hall of the Nanyang Capital, and the generals of the Pingnan Army were also there. Ma Chao and the entire Canglang Army were all transferred to the camps in Fancheng and the south side of Xiangjiang River.
Zhang Lang sat down, "The battle in Jingzhou may stop temporarily!" Then he touched his chin and thought, "There will definitely be a big battle after the autumn harvest next year!"
Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement and frowned: "Although Nanyang is rich, it is in the land of four battles. After the autumn harvest next year, he may face a fierce attack from several forces!"
Yan Yan, the general of Pingnan Army, stepped out and clasped his fists and said: "With the veteran general and the Pingnan Army, no one can be arrogant in Nanyang!" The generals of Pingnan Army came out to express their determination!"
Zhang Lang nodded and smiled, "I absolutely believe that the veteran general and the soldiers of the Pingnan Army will be able to turn Nanyang into an insurmountable iron barrel fortress!" When everyone heard Zhang Lang's words, they felt their blood boiling and their fighting spirit was full of energy.
After the discussion, Zhang Lang and Zhuge Liang came to the backyard of the capital and walked along the corridor. "Lord, if there is a situation where several forces attack Nanyang after the autumn harvest next year as we expected, I am afraid that one Nanyang army will not be able to resist it!"
Zhang Lang nodded, "I'm a little worried too!" He stopped and looked at the clear pool water in front of him. "If the worst happens, we will pay an extremely heavy price to protect Nanyang!" Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement. Zhang Lang looked at Zhuge Liang and asked with a point of view: "But, can we use Nanyang as bait?"
At the same time, Chang'an.
A fast horse galloped into the city from the west. Then the knight rushed into the lobby of the General's Mansion with the help of two guards and knelt down with a plop.
Jia Xu, Huang Yueying immediately stepped forward when she saw this. Jia Xu asked, "What happened?"
The knight untied the blood-covered bamboo tube and presented it to Jia Xu, and said intermittently: "More than a month ago, Wusun suddenly attacked, Loulan City was broken, and most of the brothers were killed. Lord Zhang Jian led the remnants of the army retreated into the nearby mountainous areas, and the trade route was interrupted!" After saying that, he fainted. Jia Xu quickly untied his bamboo tube and asked him to carry it down to treat and take care of him. Two guards carried the knight down.
Jia Xu opened the bamboo tube, took out Zhang Jian's handwritten letter, read it, frowned. Huang Yueying asked, "What do you say in the letter?" Jia Xu frowned and said, "We must report to the general immediately!"
Nanyang City.
Zhang Lang hugged Dong Ying, who was exhausted, and swirled around on the spot, kissed her face several times on her lips, and said excitedly: "Yingying, I miss me so much!" Dong Ying was happy and excited, deliberately slandering her face and said angrily: "Do you miss me? I heard that you are very romantic and happy these days!"
Zhang Langyi uh, "Where is it?"
Dong Ying looked behind Zhang Lang, "Where is that Mrs. Cai? I want to see her, how charming she looks like!"
Zhang Lang said angrily: "Mrs. Cai and I came to Jingzhou with me to cooperate with me to attack Jingzhou! Now, she is going to patrol downstairs! You can believe the rumors outside!"
Dong Ying squeezed her body into Zhang Lang's arms, looked up at him, and said in a hoarse voice: "You, we know the best! If our sisters were by your side, you would definitely not cheat, but you can hold on to it alone for so long?" Zhang Lang immediately raised his right palm, "I can swear!"
Dong Ying spat, "Don't swear! What about good and bad spirits!" The beautiful eyes glanced at Zhang Lang, "We can't control you when you are outside, but I must remind you that you can't bring a messy woman like a married man home!" Zhang Lang nodded quickly, took Dong Ying's hand, walked towards the hall, and asked, "Yingying, why are you here suddenly? Are you all okay?"
"Everyone is fine! Just worried that you are restless outside, so let me see you!"
Zhang Lang laughed dryly.
When he arrived in the hall, Zhang Lang pulled Dong Ying to sit next to him and said excitedly: "Tonight we will have a banquet to welcome my Yingying!"
Dong Ying said angrily: "What's the point of fighting like this? I just need to stay with you! If someone else is present, I have to deal with it. I can't lose my etiquette and the demeanor of my mistress, so I'm so annoyed!"
Zhang Lang smiled, "Okay, okay! Then we are the only two of us tonight, let's drink it to the dark!" Dong Ying smiled pursed her lips.
That night, Zhang Lang and Dong Ying were drinking, eating vegetables and chatting in the pavilion in the backyard. Wherever they were happy, Zhang Lang talked about the embarrassing things after they were young, such as the bathtub was flipped when they were taking a bath, and the watermelon was chased by dogs to run around the mountain. And so on, it was all shameless things for children. Dong Ying smiled so hard that the flowers were trembling and gave Zhang Lang a blank look, "I didn't expect that my elder brother would be like that after he was young, so..." She didn't know how to describe Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang smiled, "I miss my childhood! I am carefree!" Suddenly, my heart moved, hugged Dong Ying over and asked, "Yingying, when will you give me a fat boy? There must be a fat boy playing with it, that must be very interesting!" Dong Ying said angrily, "Do you want a fat boy just to play?" Zhang Lang smiled. Looking at Dong Ying, who was so sweet that he looked red and beautiful, he couldn't help but move his index finger and swallowed, "Yingying, it's getting late, so let's go back and rest!"
