Last night, after Zhang Lang successfully captured Xuchang, he immediately sent Yan Xing to lead the Long Tao army to the east gate to chase Cao Pi. Cao Pi did not expect that the Lu Bu army would capture Xuchang so quickly and chase him. He was unprepared in advance. However, when the Lu Bu army suddenly appeared, Cao Pi's side immediately became in chaos. The Lu Bu army encountered almost no resistance. The war cavalry swept by like a tide, defeating Cao Pi's personal army, capturing a large number of people, and seizing countless gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings that were about to be transferred to the East County.

Why are there so many gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings? It turned out that Lu Bu's army was approaching. In order to prevent it, Cao Pi prepared to transfer the gold, silver, jewelry and antique calligraphy and paintings reserved by the Prime Minister's Mansion over the years to Dongjun. At the same time, the wealthy and wealthy families of all major gentry hurriedly transferred their property to Dongjun. No one expected that the end of the busy life would be in vain.

The gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings seized by Yan Xing are of very high value, and the total value is even greater than the total amount of money and grain seized in Xuchang City!

Yan Xing talked about the general seizure situation, and everyone was very surprised.

Zhang Lang laughed and said, "Okay! General Yan Xing has made great contributions this time!" Yan Xing was very happy. Zhang Lang said, "General Yan Xing, you should immediately supervise and place all the seized materials into the warehouse, and register them at the same time. In addition, temporarily detain all the captured personnel in the Xicheng Military Camp, and I will send someone else to deal with it. By the way, Cao Pi, have you caught it?" Yan Xing clasped his fists and said, "I didn't catch Cao Pi. I heard from the captives that when our army just launched a raid, Cao Pi led a few of his personal horses to ride away from the brigade and ran away." Zhang Lang felt a little regretful and said to Yan Xing: "You go busy." Yan Xing clasped his fists and agreed and ran.

Zhang Lang said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, there may be some important figures among these captured personnel. Please try to identify them yourself."

Jia Xu clasped his fists and said, "I want to borrow General Yang Feng from the lord."

Zhang Lang understood Jia Xu's idea. Yang Feng had already become familiar with Cao Cao's side. He basically knew important people. He would definitely not miss one. He took him to identify them together. He looked at Yang Feng and ordered: "Yang Feng, you go and assist Mr. Wenhe." Yang Feng agreed with his fists.

Then he discussed some military and political affairs and the meeting ended.

...

Zhang Lang came to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion and walked along the veranda beside the lake. Dong Ying followed closely behind, only half a step away, following each other.

Zhang Lang stopped, turned around and looked at the sparkling lake with thoughts. Dong Ying did not dare to disturb Zhang Lang, and stood quietly behind Zhang Lang and looked at him. Wang Yi ran along the corridor, came behind Zhang Lang and stopped a few steps, clasped his fists and said, "General, General Ma Chao and Huang Zhong have sent a messenger!"

Zhang Lang suddenly turned around and said anxiously: "Call me!"

Wang Yi responded and ran down, and after a while, he led a dusty officer over. When the officer saw Zhang Lang, he immediately knelt down on one knee and paid homage: "I pay homage to the general!"

"No need to be polite, get up and talk back."

"Thank you General!" The officer stood up and said with his fists: "I am hereby orders from the two generals to report to the general. Our army has completely wiped out Cao Ren and Cao Hong's troops as planned, but only four people from Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian and Yu Jin were gone. The two generals are leading the army to Yuzhou, please give us a message."

Zhang Lang laughed, "Huang Zhong and Ma Chao did a very good job! Go back and tell them to station troops in the ancient city west of Yuzhou, don't launch an attack rashly." The officer held his fists and vomited.

Zhang Lang turned around to face this lake, breathed happily, and said with a smile: "The things I have been worried about these days finally have a good result!" Dong Ying asked with a smile: "Are you still worried that the two generals Ma Chao and Huang Zhong will be defeated?" Zhang Lang said: "I naturally believe in his abilities. However, Cao Ren and others are not mediocre people. Although the plan was very detailed, they were still very worried before the war ended!" Turning his head and smiling at Dong Ying, "This is probably called care and chaos!" Dong Ying teased: "If the eldest brother is called chaos, then Cao Pi is probably the frightened bird and grass at this moment!"

Zhang Lang laughed loudly, touched his chin and said curiously: "I wonder what Cao Pi is doing now?"

At this moment, Cao Pi had already fled to Dongjun. He was shocked and an officer came to report that Mr. Xun Yu and Mr. Xu You were here. Cao Pi was overjoyed and hurried out to greet him. Seeing the two scholars who were coming with the support of the soldiers, Xun Yu and Xu You, both of them looked very embarrassed. When they saw Cao Pi, they couldn't help but get excited. They knelt down and cried to pay homage to Cao Pi.

Cao Pi quickly helped the two of them up and said blamingly: "The two gentlemen have suffered, it's all my fault!"

The two of them were calmer, and Xun Yu hurriedly said: "Lord, the most urgent task is to mobilize the army to retake Xuchang immediately!"

Cao Pi frowned and nodded, "I'm just thinking that way." Then he led the two of them to the hall and said as he walked: "Let's go in and discuss."

The three of them entered the hall and the ministers of the division were seated. Cao Pi frowned and said, "Xuchang fell overnight, which was beyond my expectations!" He glanced at Xun Yu and Xu You and asked, "Do you two gentlemen know what's going on?"

Xu You clasped his fists and said, "According to what the escaped soldiers said, it was because Yang Feng suddenly turned against him and opened the city gate that Xuchang was lost."

Cao Pi was surprised, "Yang Feng?!"

Xu You nodded and frowned, "In my opinion, this Yang Feng was afraid that he would be bribed by Lu Bu before the war! Yang Feng was originally Lu Bu's subordinate, so it should not be easy for Lu Bu to bribe him."

Xun Yu felt that things should not be that simple, but it was a fact that Yang Feng rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, so there was no need to talk much about the reasons why he surrendered to the enemy. Xun Yu clasped his fists and said, "Lord, now that Xuchang is lost, people's hearts are unstable. We should take Xuchang back as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts and also curb Lu Bu's expansion momentum!"

Cao Pi nodded, "I think so too." He glanced at Xun Yu and said with some concern: "But our army was newly defeated and suffered heavy losses. The troops that can be assembled are only 800,000, plus 200,000 navy troops, only one million. These forces may be difficult to defeat Lu Bu's army! Besides, Lu Bu's victory in succession and morale is in full swing!"

Xun Yu nodded, "What the lord said is very true! But we have an advantage. Our advantage is the navy! Now the main force of Lu Bu's army has arrived in Xuchang, and the direction of Luoyang is very empty. We can confront Lu Bu with the army, and at the same time order the navy to go up along the Yellow River and raid Luoyang! As long as we speed is fast enough, it is easy to take Luoyang! As long as we take Luoyang, the battle situation can be reversed!"
