Back to the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Long hurriedly said: "The general must not make such a request to the Taishi!"

Li Que said unhappily, "Are you going to let me continue to suffer from Chen Lang's frustration here?"

Zhang Long hurriedly said: "Great General, the Supreme Division commissioned the Great General to monitor Chen Lang arbitrarily. If the General is abandoned halfway, the Great General will definitely be greatly disappointed with the General. At that time, what was the General in front of the General? In terms of status? I'm afraid that all the glory and wealth will leave the generals away!"

Li Que was startled, pacing back and forth, annoyed: "I can't go back to Chang'an. I stay here and be controlled by others everywhere. What should I do?!" Then he shouted, "Call the wizard up!" The soldier promised and rushed down to summon the witch. Seeing that Zhang Long Tanglan was still there, Li Que said angrily: "You all go down." Tang Lan couldn't help but persuade: "General, these witches pretend to be ghosts, the general should still not believe it!" Li Queda Angrily, he shouted: "Don't speak disrespectfully to the witch! You get out of here!" Tang Lan didn't dare to say anything, and left with Zhang Long.

Chen Lang watched the army training near the military camp outside the city. At this moment, the soldiers of the Yingyang Army are training in full swing. In the wilderness on the left, tens of thousands of troopers are rehearsing the battle formation. Amid the rumbling of the drums, tens of thousands of troopers are constantly changing their formations according to the guidance of the flag, and they suddenly become geese formations. Formed into a circular defensive array, in a blink of an eye the circular defensive array dispersed and turned into a wedge-shaped shock array! Tens of thousands of soldiers are quick and skilled, just like a whole!

Chen Lang looked at the scene in front of him and smiled: "Thanks to the public platform, otherwise our army's battle formation skills will never be so diligent!"

Chen Gong, who was next to him, smiled and clasped his fists and said: "The lord has praised it!" Then he glanced at the army in front of him, and exclaimed: "The Eagle Yang army is the most elite army I have ever seen. The lord's many training skills made me amazed. The Xiliang Army is no less fierce than the Yingyang Army, but the discipline and toughness are far inferior to the Yingyang Army!"

At this moment, loud shouts came from the undulating mountains on the right. The eyes of Chen Lang and others couldn't help but follow the sound, and saw thousands of infantry soldiers running and shouting in the rugged mountains, shirtless and carrying logs. That is part of the infantry who is training physical fitness and endurance!

Xue Tong and old man Ding ran behind Chen Lang on horseback, strangled the horse, turned over, ran to Chen Lang, bowed and bowed: "Master!" Xue Tong angrily said: "Master, then Li Que will take someone to check it out. All army warehouses also checked the local warehouses and insisted that the amount of money, food and supplies in our warehouse was wrong, and asked us to explain! We said that only these were left, but he just didn't believe it!"

Chen Gong smiled and said: "Li Que didn't know that the lord had spent a lot of money and food on building the army. Who can believe that the cost of one soldier is equivalent to the cost of three other soldiers. Generally speaking, money and food are expensive. The consumption will not be so fast, and he can understand this question."

Chen Lang asked Tong Xue: "Has Li Que gone back?"

"I have gone back. Lord, I think he is like that, and I will report to Dong Zhuo in all likelihood!" Old man Ding nodded sympathetically, with a worried look on his face.

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry. If he wants to file a complaint, let him go. Is there anything else?"

Old man Ding clasped his fists and said: "The people who went to Chang'an to receive money and food have returned, and Dong Zhuo did not give us any money or food. Someone said that Mr. Li Ru, on behalf of Dong Zhuo, told him that he is now at war with Ma Tenghan Sui, and the money and food are tight and we need to solve it by ourselves. Money issue."

Chen Gongdao: "Although the war against Ma Teng Han Sui will consume a lot of money and food, Dong Zhuo's previous plundered income plus taxes in areas such as Luoyang Guanzhong Xiliang and other areas, there is no problem in paying our money and food. Dong Zhuo is like this, it is clearly that it is. I want to use this to limit our development." Then he said mockingly: "But this is just playing with cleverness. We occupy the rich land of Luoyang, and there are four counties in Binzhou. Without Dong Zhuo's money and food support, we would not have it. Too much influence." Then he clasped his fist towards Chen Lang and said: "Lord, since Dong Zhuo does not give out money and food, he simply stopped paying taxes and money to Dong Zhuo on the grounds of raising soldiers and keeping the people safe." Chen Lang nodded.

Li Ru hurried to the eyebrows to see Dong Zhuo, but waited for a long time at the door of the backyard before he was summoned by Dong Zhuo.

Li Ru hurriedly came to the study and saw Dong Zhuo, who looked overwhelmed with alcohol, and said anxiously: "Taishi, the people who came to Luoyang to collect money, food and taxes have returned. They didn't get a coin or a coin. food!"

Dong Zhuo asked inexplicably: "Why is this?"

Li Ru frowned; "Then Chen Lang said that he needed money and food to support his soldiers and the people, so he refused to pay the court."

Dong Zhuo became sober a lot, and yelled angrily: "How dare he refuse to pay the money! Is he going to rebel?"

Li Ru hurriedly said: "This is not enough. Chen Lang's statement is also acceptable. According to reports, Chen Lang's Ying Yang army now has 350,000 people..."

Dong Zhuo was taken aback and asked in disbelief: "Why does he have so many troops? Isn't the Ying Yang army only about 200,000?"

"Returning to the Taishi, Chen Lang originally expanded his army to 200,000. While the Northern Expedition Bingzhou regained the four counties of Bingzhou, he also conquered 100,000 defenders of these four counties. Recently, Chen Langbing sent to the Taihang Mountains and conquered Zhang Yan's troops. So the total force now has 350,000 horses."

Dong Zhuo frowned and said, "He actually has 350,000 troops, which is not good!"

Li Ru hurriedly said: "Teacher, in order to hold Chen Lang firmly and keep him loyal to his master, his subordinates thought that the master should marry the eldest lady quickly and make Chen Lang become the son-in-law of the master. , Taishi can sit back and relax!"

Dong Zhuo’s eyes lit up and he said with joy: "This method is good! This method is good!" Then he looked embarrassed and said, "But Niu Fu always comes to me these days and asks me to marry Yuanyuan to him! If I will Yuanyuan married Chen Lang. Wouldn't Niu Fu feel dissatisfied? This is not good, this is not good!"

Li Ru also felt a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he frowned and said: "Taishi, General Niu Fu is loyal to the Taishi. I believe that even if I don’t marry the eldest lady, I will still be loyal to the Taishi. But Chen Lang is different, Chen The wolf is a fierce tiger. If you don’t quickly trap him, I’m afraid you will get out of the Taishi’s control. The two evils are the less powerful. The subordinates think the Taishi should marry the eldest to Chen Lang." Dong Zhuo listened to Li. Confucian nodded at these words.

He turned his eyes back to Luoyang.

Chen Lang was talking to Chen Gong in the lobby, and the guard suddenly came to report: "Enjoy General, Wang Yun begged to see you outside the door."

Chen Lang and Chen Gong were both happy, Chen Gong said; "Presumably Wang Situ has brought some good news." Chen Lang said to the guard: "Please come in, Lord Wang." The guard promised and ran down. After a while, only Seeing Situ Wang Yun came in with a cane. Chen Lang and Chen Gong came out of the hall to greet them. Chen Lang smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Master Wang, don't come here without any problems!" Wang Yun smiled, clasped his fists and said: "Farewell to Chang'an, the general style is better than ever!" Chen Lang Laughing, Wang Yun was invited to the hall, and the two parties were divided into guest of honor to sit down.

Chen Lang asked, "Why Lord Wang is not in Chang'an, so why did he suddenly come to Luoyang?"

Wang Yun said: "The old ancestors were from Luoyang, so naturally they want to come back to save their relatives."

Chen Gong smiled and said, "I'm afraid this was for Dong Zhuo. Wang Situ, you should tell the truth when you get here. How about? Did you get in touch with Ma Teng Han Sui?"

Wang Yun smiled and said, "Nothing can be hidden from the public." Then he turned to Chen Lang and said, "Fortunately, the old man has been in contact with Ma Tenghan Sui. At this moment, his two messengers are in mine. At home." Chen Gong asked, "Their messenger is here too?" Wang Yun nodded.

Chen Gong happily said to Chen Lang: "It seems that Ma Tenghan Sui is more anxious than we expected! In this case, the following matters will be easy to discuss!"

Wang Yun clasped his fists and said: "The general, come to make it inconvenient to appear at the general's mansion, so I did not come with the old man. Please come to my house for a banquet tonight, so I can take the opportunity to meet with each other."

Chen Lang nodded and said, "Master Wang is very thoughtful. I will visit on time tonight."

Wang Yun stood up. When Chen Lang and Chen Gong saw this, they also stood up. Wang Yun clasped his fist and said, "We will discuss the specific matters in detail at night, and the old man will leave." Chen Lang and Chen Gong sent Wang Yun straight out of the gate, Wang Yun said, staying behind, and then boarded the carriage and went back.

Chen Lang and Chen Gong watched Wang Yun's carriage leave and returned to the hall. Chen Lang couldn't help sighing: "Although Wang Yun is a bit pedantic, it is really admirable to do his best to help Dahan Jiangshan!" Chen Gong nodded and said, "Although Wang Situ's persistence is admirable, he is stuck with what he does. Liu's loyalty is not desirable! As the general said, the world is the world of the world, how can the public of the world satisfy the royal family's private? How to be good to the world, and how to do it!"

Chen Lang smiled, just walked to the case table and sat down on the case table, thinking: "Ma Tenghan sent people to contact us so quickly, it seems that their situation is not good!" Chen Gong Nodded, "It's no wonder. It is true that Ma Teng and Han Sui can hardly compete with Dong Zhuo because of the strength of Ma Teng and Han Sui. It is only a matter of time before they lose.

That night, Chen Lang and Chen Gong came down outside the gate of Wang Yun's mansion with a team of fangs. When Wang Yun got the news, he went out to greet him in person, and the two parties came to the back hall together after some greetings. Chen Lang and Chen Gong saw a young man dressed as a merchant stand up, and immediately knew that it was the messenger sent by Ma Teng Han Sui.

Wang Yun immediately introduced Chen Lang and Chen Gong: "This virtuous nephew of Ma Xiu, the second son of General Ma Teng, came to see the general on behalf of Ma Teng Han Sui." Then he introduced Ma Xiu: "Xian." Nephew, this is General Yingyang! The other is General Yingyang's military adviser, Mr. Chen Gong!" Ma Xiu clasped his fist and said, "I have seen the general, I have met Mr.!"
