Zhang Liao walked into the tent, cupped his fists and said, "General."

Zhang Lang turned around and asked, "How is the situation in each battalion?" "The morale of the soldiers in each battalion is high! They all believe that the general can lead them to defeat Yuan Shao!" Zhang Lang nodded, turned to face the map, frowned and asked: "Wenyuan

, what do you think Yuan Shao will do next?" Zhang Liao stepped forward, looked at the map and thought: "Yuan Shao is frustrated from the front, and may order Wu Tong to attack our army from the rear in a roundabout way! We must guard against it!"

Zhang Lang nodded and ordered: "Send more scouts and have them go deep into Dingxiang County and Yanmen County to Yanmen County!" "Promise!" Zhang Liao agreed and left the tent.

His eyes turned to the Wuyuan County Prefect’s Mansion.

Cui Yan, the prefect of Wuyuan County, walked into the back hall. The guests who had been waiting here immediately stood up and said, "Master Cui!" Cui Yan frowned, walked to the opposite side of the guest, made an invitation gesture, and the two sat down together.

After coming down, the guest said straight to the point: "Master Cui, my lord hopes that you will use all your troops to attack Lu Bu's rear! I wonder what Master Cui wants?" Cui Yan said with some embarrassment: "I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult to handle!" the guest said.

: "My lord is at the top of the capital, and is assisted by Jizhou. He has countless civil servants and fierce generals, and carries millions of armors! All the nobles and people in the world admire him! Don't you want Mr. Cui to serve my lord?"

Cui Yan said: "I don't want to help Mr. Yuan, but..."

The guest smiled and said: "I understand Master Cui's worries! But I can tell Master Cui clearly that Wuyuan County and Dingxiang County have agreed to send troops, and Wu Tong, the prefect of Yanmen County, has already surrendered to my lord! Today's Lu Bu is nothing more than

It is a tiger in a cage and a turtle in an urn, and it will only be overturned sooner or later! If Mr. Cui is unwilling to send troops, we will not force him! The decision is all in Mr. Cui's mind."

Cui Yan quickly clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to help Mr. Yuan destroy Lu Bu!"

"Okay! Since Mr. Cui has promised, please send troops as soon as possible!"

Cui Yan immediately called the county commander and ordered the three armies to prepare immediately and march eastward early tomorrow morning.

Wuyuan County and Shuofang County sent troops one after another, and an army of 60,000 came straight towards Lu Bu's rear.

His eyes turned to the front battlefield.

For several days in a row, Yuan Shaojun only went to the Great Wall to make noises every day and did not actually attack the city. After a few days, Zhang Lang's soldiers could not help but feel a little slack, but the bad premonition in Zhang Lang's heart became stronger and stronger! But where exactly?

Something is wrong but I can’t tell!

As night fell, Zhang Lang patrolled the military camp with his soldiers. When the soldiers saw Zhang Lang, they all saluted with awe. They walked around the military camp and returned to the tent. Zhang Lang was deeply impressed by the morale of his troops.

Glad.

He sat down at the top, spread out the bamboo slips, and picked up his brush to write a letter home. He had been away from home for several months, and Zhang Lang missed his beloved wife who was far away in Chang'an very much.

At this moment, Zhang Liao suddenly broke into the tent, clasped his fists and said: "General, our scouts have captured one of Yuan Shao's messengers!"

"messenger?"

Zhang Liao took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Zhang Lang, "This was found from that person!" Zhang Lang quickly took the letter, opened it, read it again, and was shocked. He raised his head, "

Where is the messenger?"

Zhang Liao turned his head and rushed outside the tent and shouted: "Bring him in!"

Two soldiers took a middle-aged man in Hufu into the tent and threw him to the ground. When the middle-aged man saw Zhang Lang, he couldn't help showing fear.

Zhang Lang looked him over and asked, "Are you Yuan Shao's messenger?"

The man nodded.

Zhang Lang asked again: "Apart from the prefects of Dingxiang and Yanmen, who else has colluded with Yuan Shao?"

The man avoided Zhang Lang's gaze and said, "You villain, I don't know!"

"Hmph! Drag him out and chop him!" The two soldiers immediately wanted to take action.

The man was horrified and shouted urgently: "General, spare your life! I'll tell you everything, tell me everything!" Zhang Lang waved back, "Go ahead." The man swallowed his saliva, "As far as I know, the governor of Wuyuan County

, the prefect of Shuofang County has already agreed to send troops!..." Zhang Lang and Zhang Liao were startled, Zhang Lang asked anxiously: "What about the prefect of Yunzhong County?" The man shook his head, "This little guy doesn't know!"

Afraid that Zhang Lang would not believe it, he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Everything the villain said is true! General, please spare your life!"

"Put him behind the tent and guard him closely!"

The two soldiers gave the order to lift the man up and go down.

Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "These governors are all colluding with Yuan Shao! Our situation is very bad! General, the situation is critical, we must retreat quickly! Otherwise, once the armies surround us, I am afraid that our entire army will be annihilated!"

Zhang Lang also wanted to retreat, but he was a little unwilling to do so! "Is there any reply from Dong Zhuo?"

"I'm about to report to the general. I just received the news and Dong Zhuo is hesitating whether to send troops!"

Zhang Lang was furious, "Still hesitating? When he makes a decision, we will be completely ruined! Damn it! Did Xihe County and Shang County follow my order to move eastward?"

Zhang Liao shook his head, "They said they were asking the Prime Minister for instructions!"

Bang! Zhang Lang jumped up and yelled, "Asshole!"

Zhang Liao frowned and said: "Now our army is fighting alone! The situation is already very dangerous!"

Zhang Lang sat down and thought hard about countermeasures... Suddenly an idea occurred to him. He thought of a strategy, an extremely bold strategy. He immediately said to Zhang Liao: "We are not completely desperate yet! There is still a glimmer of hope!" Zhang Liao was surprised.

"Could it be that the general has a plan!" Zhang Lang said the plan he had just thought of. Zhang Liao was stunned for a long time, "The general's plan is too bold!" With a look of determination, he clasped his fists and said: "The final wish of the general

Fight through fire and water for the general!"

Zhang Lang was moved, stood up, walked to Zhang Liao, and patted his shoulder, "I know Wen Yuan is loyal and brave! However, I must do this myself!"

Zhang Liao was shocked, "The general is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how can he risk his own life? It's better for the last general to go!"

Zhang Lang shook his head, "Stop arguing! I need you to stay here to command the army for me and wait for my orders! If my action can be completed smoothly, the time for a Jedi counterattack has arrived! This is our only chance!"

"

Zhang Liao nodded, cupped his fists and said, "General, take care of me!"

That night, Zhang Lang led Zang Ba and seven other generals, led the eight hundred cavalry that once roamed the grasslands, and set out overnight with Yuan Shao's messenger.

Wu Tong, the prefect of Yanmen County, had already marched out and led his 30,000 troops into the city of Dingxiang County. He joined forces with the 30,000 troops of the prefect of Dingxiang County and waited for further orders from Yuan Shao.

Two eunuchs in armor stood on the top of the city of Dingxiang County, looking anxiously to the west. They were waiting for Yuan Shao's messenger.

Suddenly, the rumble of horse hooves came from outside the city. The two eunuchs were perked up and opened their eyes wide. After a while, they saw nearly a thousand horses galloping to the city gate. The leading man raised his head and shouted: "I am Yuan Yuan."

Envoy, open the city gate quickly!" The two eunuchs immediately recognized the man, who was Yuan Shao's special envoy who had been delivering letters frequently in the past few days. After confirming his identity, the two eunuchs quickly ordered the city gate to be opened.
Chapter completed!
