Back to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 171: Last effort

Guan Yu hurriedly came to the gate of the General's Mansion and happened to ran into Chen Palace, who was also coming to the General's Mansion. Guan Yu clasped his fist and said: "Military Master." Chen Gongxiao asked: "Why is Yun Chang in such a hurry?"

Guan Yu said, "Just after receiving the military report from Zhang Liao, Ma Tenghan raided Xiliang, but Dong Zhuo summoned Qiang soldiers. Ma Tenghan was defeated and he has fled west!"

Chen Gong frowned and said, "Ma Teng Han Sui originally wanted to wait for us and Dong Zhuo to fight for both losses and then reap the benefits of the fishermen. However, the timing was not right, and he hurt himself!"

Guan Yu snorted and said, "This is the end of not cooperating with us sincerely! It can be regarded as self-inflicted!"

Chen Gong said, "Let's go in quickly." Guan Yu nodded and strode into the door. Chen Gong also went in.

The two came to the hall and didn't see Chen Lang, so Guan Yu asked the guard at the entrance of the hall: "Where is the big brother?" The guard said, "The Lord Justice is in the study."

Guan Yu and Chen Gong went straight to the study in the backyard, saw Chen Lang, and prayed together: "Lord (Big Brother)!"

Chen Lang was watching the internal affairs report sent by Xue Tong. He heard the voices of the two, raised his head, saw them, and smiled; "You are here."

Guan Yu immediately stepped forward and presented the report he had just received to Chen Lang, saying: "This is the military report just sent by Zhang Liao! Ma Tenghan then tried to raid Xiliang but ended up in a big defeat!" Guan Yu As a general of Luoyang, the military report must first be cleared by him. Generally, the minor military situation will be handled by him, and only the major military situation will immediately report to Chen Lang.

Chen Lang took the military report, opened it and read it again, and said with a smile: "The agency is too clever to count Qingqing's life." Putting down the report, he said: "When our army fought against Dong Zhuojun, I repeatedly They sent people to urge Ma Tenghan to advance as soon as possible, but the two of them sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight as soon as possible! Ha ha, the intention could not be more obvious, it was nothing more than waiting for us and Dong Zhuo to fight for both losses, they so sudden emergence and sweep Dong Zhuohe Our army occupied the Guanzhong area and conspired the world! The abacus was done well, but I did not expect that the war between us and Dong Zhuo would end so soon, and our army still had the absolute upper hand!"

Chen Gong smiled and said: "When they think the time is right to launch an attack, their real-time machine has already been missed!"

Chen Lang lowered his head and glanced at the military newspaper again, frowning and muttering: "Qiang? It seems that Niu Fu has a close relationship with the Qiang. Did Dong Zhuo get help from the Qiang through Niu Fu?" Guan Yu said, "Information about this. I haven't got it yet." Chen Lang showed a contemplative expression.

That night, Chen Lang sat in a daze by the lake in the backyard. He couldn't help but think of scenes from when Dong Yuan was living here that day. Yi Ren's appearance was in front of her eyes, but she stretched out her hand to catch her, but she was like light and shadow. Drift away!

The soft footsteps suddenly sounded behind Chen Lang. Chen Lang couldn't help being overjoyed, and turned around to look around. However, Juan'er appeared before her eyes. Chen Lang couldn't hide the disappointed expression in his eyes, and said, "Juan'er, it's you!"

Juan'er said: "My son, supper is ready."

Chen Lang smiled bitterly: "I'm not in the mood to eat now!"

Seeing Chen Lang's depressed appearance, Juan'er couldn't help but get worried. She wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to ask.

Chen Lang looked at the distant night sky for a while, muttering to herself: "I don't know how Yuanyuan is doing now?"

Far away in the Tianshui Zhang's family, Dong Yuan exclaimed with excitement: "I won't marry! I won't marry if I die!!" Madam Dong frowned and said, "Don't be stupid!"

Dong Yuan, who has a strong personality far better than men, said with tears: "Why did my dad force me to marry that Niu Fu!?"

auzw.com Madam Dong couldn’t help sighing, and said leisurely: “In your father’s heart, we are all tools that can be used. We are like gifts. Who is good for your father, your father? I will give this gift to whom! Alas! Common people all envy our distinguished family, but they don’t know what kind of suffering it is to be born in such a home!"

Dong Yuan said word by word: "If Dad must force me, I will only die once!"

Madam Dong grabbed her daughter's delicate hand. Dong Yuan looked at her mother and saw her mother's face pale, with a begging expression in her eyes. Dong Yuan's heart was shocked, and she couldn't help crying: "Mother!" Madam Dong took Dong Yuan into her arms, tears rushing out uncontrollably, and said: "If you are gone, how can you survive?" Dong Yuan I couldn't help but feel sad, and wept in my mother's arms. Soon after, Dong Yuan fell asleep in the arms of her mother. Her spirit was really exhausted.

Seeing that Dong Yuan was asleep, Mrs. Dong gently put her on the bed and pulled her over and covered her with the quilt. Bending over and looking at the tearful face of her daughter, she only felt that her daughter was too pitiful, and her heart was full of compassion. He sighed softly and left the room.

As soon as Mrs. Dong came out of the room, she saw her father sitting at a stone table not far away. She couldn't help but moved on her heart quickly. Mrs. Dong's father is Zhang Fengtian, the head of the Zhang family, who rarely shows up, but is a pivotal figure in the entire Xiliang Guanlong area.

Madam Dong walked to Zhang Fengtian and said excitedly: "Daddy, I'm going to find Dong Zhuo and ask him to let Yuanyuan go!"

Zhang Fengtian glanced at Madam Dong and said, "I guess you would want to find Dong Zhuo, so I'm waiting for you! The reason why Dong Zhuo wants Yuanyuan to marry that Niu Fu is entirely because Niu Fu is in Qiang. The influence of Dong Zhuo! After being hit hard by the Ying Yang army, Dong Zhuo’s direct line of troops has become less powerful than before, and Lu Bu has also escaped. Dong Zhuo’s power has fallen to an unprecedented trough! At this time, the importance of the Qiang people Sex was highlighted! The reason why Ma Teng Han Sui was able to defeat Ma Teng Han Sui this time, it can be said that the Qiang people played a decisive role in it! If it were not for Niu Fu, this force could not be adjusted! It is obvious that Dong Zhuo now relies heavily on Niu Fu. Yes, it is inevitable for Yuanyuan to marry Niu Fu! If you go to Dong Zhuo to make a statement, you can only ask yourself to be boring and make the situation unfavorable for our Zhang family!"

Madam Dong said angrily: "Daddy is still as ruthless as before!"

A look of helplessness flashed in Zhang Fengtian's eyes, but he was quickly replaced by coldness and sternness. He categorically said: "I am the Patriarch of the Zhang Family, and everything I do must be based on family interests!!" Looking at Madam Dong, his expression was stubborn. Hardly said: "For this, it is to pay for this life, and I will not hesitate!"

Mrs. Dong's heart was shocked.

Zhang Fengtian averted his gaze and looked into the distance: "Don't you want to defy my intentions, I have already confessed it, the servant maid will not let you leave this mansion!"

When Madam Dong heard this, she was angry and sad again. After a pause, he said to Zhang Fengtian, "Father, since everything is important to family interests, then I will tell you about interests. Father, do you think Dong Zhuo and Chen Lang, who can control the world's heroes? "

Zhang Fengtian's heart moved and frowned, "Although Chen Lang is young, it can be seen from what he has done since the Yellow Turban Rebellion that this son is definitely a rare hero in a century! I am afraid that only Cao Cao can stand against him in the world. There are only a few people in Yuan Shao! Dong Zhuo just seized an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. If he said that Wenzhi Wugong is in full swing, it is far from being comparable to Chen Lang!"

Mrs. Dong smiled and said: "That's right! My father can see that Dong Zhuo is just the afterglow of the setting sun, but Chen Lang is in full swing, and he is one of the heroes who can dominate the world in the future! If my father is thinking about the future of the Zhang family, There is no reason not to get closer to Chen Lang, right?"

Zhang Fengtian thought for a moment, glanced at Madam Dong, and said: "I understand what you mean. You are saying that we should marry Yuanyuan to Chen Lang to strengthen our relationship with him."

Madam Dong asked in return; "Is there no reason for what I said? Rather than let the Zhang family sink in the broken ship of Dong Zhuo, it is better to take the opportunity to catch up with Chen Lang. As long as Yuanyuan marries Chen Lang, I think we Zhang The family immediately jumped out of the current predicament and could even have more room for development. But on the other hand, if Yuanyuan really married that Niu Fu, we would have lost such an excellent opportunity, and in the future, Ying Yangjun Westward defeats Dong Zhuo, our Zhang family may not be able to face Chen Lang! What situation will our Zhang family face at that time?"

Zhang Fengtian frowned, did not speak for a while, tapping the stone table lightly with his fingers. Turning his head and glanced at Madam Dong, he said, "You have some truth, but it's not quite true. It's not clear who will die in the crowds! Although Chen Lang is far stronger than Dong Zhuo, he is in a very disadvantageous position. Although Luoyang It is the prosperous capital of China and the place where wealth gathers, but it is also the target of public criticism. Chen Lang is facing threats from all directions at any time! Although Chen Lang is strong, I am afraid that he will not be able to beat the enemy's siege! But Dong Zhuo is different, don't look at Dong Zhuo's slanting In a corner, after defeating Ma Teng Han Sui, the situation has changed a lot! His current situation is like the Qiang Qin in the past, sitting in the northwest and watching the battle of the Central Plains. As soon as the time comes, he can march eastward and sweep the Central Plains! It is not impossible to reproduce the situation where Qiang Qin swept the Central Plains back then!"

Mrs. Dong frowned and asked; "Daddy doesn't plan to join Chen Lang?"

Zhang Fengtian said: "I have made it very clear just now! It is not a wise choice to take refuge in Chen Lang! Moreover, the foundation of our Zhang family is here. If Yuanyuan secretly married Chen Lang and Dong Zhuo knew about it, then Our Zhang family hasn't got any benefits yet, so we got into trouble first!"

Mrs. Dong said in an unpleasant manner: "What if Daddy's prediction is wrong? What if Chen Lang finally came to the fore and swept the Central Plains? Wouldn't Daddy harm the entire family?"

Zhang Fengtian leisurely said: "If this is the case, it is also due to the number of days! This is the case, and there is no need to talk about it."
