Chapter 268: Xianbei

Chen Lang thought for a while and nodded; "Okay, the five generals of the Ma family will also go out with the army!" Ma Chao five people happily clasped their fists and promised.

Chen Lang said to the generals: "I plan to leave for Guanzhong early tomorrow morning. You all go down and prepare now." The generals clasped their fists and promised.

In the palace, the Queen Mother and the little emperor hosted a banquet. The two felt very cautious and uncomfortable at the banquet. They only hoped that the banquet would end early, but they did not dare to show impatience on their faces.

The Queen Mother invited the two to drink a glass of wine and smiled and said, "Without this palace guaranteeing you in front of the general, you would never have the wealth of today! Do you know?"

The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "This is all the grace of the Queen Mother. We mother and son have a sense of the Five Nei!" The little emperor also said: "The Queen Mother will never forget the great kindness and virtue that the Queen Mother has shown her children!"

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, and said: "If you are so interesting, then there is nothing better! In this way, you can always enjoy the glory and wealth, and you don't have to worry about anything!"

The Queen Mother hurriedly said, "I will ask the Queen Mother to take care of you in the future! If your mother has any instructions, the emperor and I will do it!"

Empress He smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as you are obedient and obedient, we are a family!" glanced at the little emperor and said with a smile: "After all, your Majesty is also my emperor now!" Then he said with enthusiasm: "Come on. Come here, do whatever you want, eat whatever you want! Why be cautious with me!" The queen mother and her son promised, eating and drinking, only feeling the same as chewing wax. The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother said something irrelevant from time to time, and both of them were very uncomfortable. ...

The banquet was over, and the Queen Mother and the little emperor said goodbye to Queen He and left the Changxin Palace. The Queen Mother couldn’t help but angrily said: "The Queen Mother is clearly warning us today! Hmph, she thinks how great she is!" The little emperor lowered her head and said depressedly: "Mother, the son thinks the emperor really sits up. Hard work!" The Queen Mother said in an angry manner: "What silly things to say! The emperor is the supreme in the world, extremely noble, really can say hard work!" The little emperor did not feel this way at all, but did not dare to refute his mother's words.

The queen dowager’s personal court lady couldn’t help but said: “Now the reason why the queen dowager is so loyal is not because she hooked up with the general! Without the support of the general, what is the queen mother?”

The queen mother nodded thoughtfully, her beautiful face suddenly flushed, and her beautiful eyes showed a charming look, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Chen Lang returned to the backyard and strolled by the lake. Dong Yuan, who was out to do errands, came back hurriedly from outside, found Chen Lang, and hurriedly asked; "Did Brother decide to go to Guanzhong tomorrow?" Chen Lang nodded. Dong Yuan asked angrily; "Why didn't the big brother tell me?"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "It's better not to know this kind of thing."

Dong Yuan said angrily: "Is the eldest brother afraid of me embarrassing? Humph, since I have already defected to my mother, my eldest brother has drawn a line with my father! As the wife of my eldest brother, how can I not help my eldest brother! As long as the elder brother beats his father It’s time to spare Daddy’s life!"

Chen Lang couldn't help but was moved, and he held Dong Yuan tightly in his arms, and said softly: "You are so good to me, I really don't know how to repay it?" Dong Yuan smiled and punched her lover in the chest. , Said grumpily: "What are you saying these things, I'm awkward!" Chen Lang laughed and suddenly hugged Dong Yuanheng. Dong Yuan exclaimed and asked anxiously; "What are you going to do?" Chen Lang smiled: "My family doesn't like virtual things, but practical ones. Big brother will do his best and die!" Dong Yuan crossed Chen Lang. Glancing and giggling.

At this moment, Dianwei's heavy footsteps suddenly heard in the distance. Chen Lang looked at Dianwei and saw Dianwei rushing towards him, feeling that something urgent should have happened, and he couldn't help putting Dong Yuan down.

Dianwei rushed to Chen Lang and put on a rolled sheepskin with both hands, and said, "Master, this is the message from the Xianbei people who just received it!"

Chen Lang frowned and read the message. I saw the text written in Chinese characters: "Da Xianbei Da Shan Yu declared that the Han Dynasty officials and people, your emperor has surrendered to us Da Xianbei, and all Han officials and people should follow the will of God and surrender to my Da Xianbei in accordance with the will of your emperor! Otherwise, they will be rebellious subjects. I will replace the emperor of the Han Dynasty with a million string-controlling warriors tao to kill you! My Da Xianbei has got the fate of heaven, and you can only prosper if you obey me! I will protect the lives of the Han people who conform to the will of heaven. For property safety, I will guard the way of Confucian saints! Anyone who dares to resist me will not be accepted by the world!"

Chen Lang smiled coldly after reading the message. At this time, Chen Gong hurried over. He ran in front of Chen Lang, glanced at the sheepskin in Chen Lang's hand, and asked with a fist, "The subordinates heard that the Xianbei sent a message?" Chen Lang handed the sheepskin message to Chen Gong and said, "That's it, you too. have a look."

Chen Gong hurriedly took the message with both hands, read it once, and yelled: "What a rampant Xianbei Hulu! He is not enough to swallow an elephant. He clearly wants to enter the Central Plains and take the Han to stand on his own, and to enslave all of us Han people!"

Chen Lang said: "This is the same as we expected before!" After a pause, he asked; "Gongtai, we have established a new emperor, how much role does the emperor in the hands of Xianbei have?"

Chen Gong frowned and said: "Although we have established a new monarch, the Xianbei National People's Congress can say that the new emperor we have established is illegal, and that the emperor in their hands is legal. Under this guise, the army and civilians in many places are deceived by Confucianism. I am afraid that the resistance will not be very strong, and the consequences are still very serious!" After a pause, he looked at the message in his hand and frowned: "Since Ke Bineng issued this message, I am afraid that the time for their large-scale invasion of the south will not be too far. !"

Chen Lang asked: "When?"

Chen Gong sat down for a while, frowning and said: "At the earliest, I am afraid that the Xianbei people will go south this year when the horse is fattened down!"

Chen Lang showed thoughtful expression on his face and murmured: "It seems that we have run out of time to deal with Dong Zhuo!"

Early the next morning, Chen Lang led the newly formed 100,000 Tiger Wing Army to Guanzhong, accompanied by General Dianwei, Ma Chaoji brothers and sisters, Zhang Fei, Wenpin, Dong Yuan and other generals. The army was set out before wee hours, and most of the people were unaware of the army's expedition.

The army travelled day and night all the way. At dusk that day, the army arrived at Hangu Pass and stopped. While Chen Lang was having dinner with everyone, an emergency report suddenly came. The important pass to the west of Guanzhong, Longguan and Sanguan were lost. Commander Dong Zhuo drove straight in and was approaching Guanzhong.

Chen Lang left the tent and walked along the nearby stream, thinking about the current situation. According to the report, Dong Zhuo not only mobilized almost all of the 180,000 Xiliang army under his command this time, but also invited 150,000 Qiangs to help, a total of 330,000 troops! With such a powerful force, even if one of his soldiers rushed to Guanzhong to join the soldiers and horses of Guanzhong, it would be far inferior to the opponent in terms of strength. Not to mention winning this battle, it is hard to say whether it can withstand Dong Zhuo's onslaught! Thinking of Jia Xu's strategy, I feel that this is a tricky method after all, and the possibility of unsuccess is still very high! If the two sides fall into a deadlock in a head-on confrontation, the situation will be very unfavorable for their own side. It is not that Dong Zhuo is difficult to deal with, but the Xianbei people will probably take action! If the Xianbei take this opportunity to go south in a big way and they will be enemies on both sides, the situation will be very disadvantageous! In other words, if we can't quickly defeat Dong Zhuo in this battle, our army will be in a very bad situation! However, as far as the current situation is concerned, our own troops are almost half of the opponent’s strength, and the Tiger Wing Army is a newly formed army, and it is not very well trained without war experience. Obviously the enemy is strong and we are weak. Whether to resist the opponent's attack is hard to say!

Chen Lang sat down on the grass by the stream, picked up a stone and threw it into the water. With a splash, the calm water surface immediately shattered, and the moon that was originally reflected in the water shattered immediately, and only sparkling waves were seen. At this moment, Chen Lang seemed to see Diao Chan's shadow in the shattering shimmering light, and he couldn't help but feel worried and blamed himself.

At this time, footsteps suddenly came from behind. Chen Lang recovered, and heard the familiar footsteps, he couldn't help smiling and said, "Yuanyuan!"

Dong Yuan in a uniform walked up from behind Chen Lang, sat down beside Chen Lang, glanced at Chen Lang, but did not speak.

Seeing Dong Yuan not speaking, Chen Lang asked with a smile; "Why is it so quiet today?"

Dong Yuan leaned into Chen Lang's arms, raised a slender hand and stroked her lover's chest, and said softly, "Big brother, don't worry!"

Chen Lang smiled and asked, "What am I worried about?"

Dong Yuan raised her head and gave Chen Lang a blank look, and said in an angry manner: "I don't know what you think?"

Chen Lang smiled.

Seeing Chen Lang's low mood, Dong Yuan shouted angrily: "My man is a great hero in the world, why has his morale become so low! Sister Diao Chan is waiting for her eldest brother, eldest brother, you can't let her down what!"

When Chen Lang heard these words, he couldn't help but feel infinite pride in his heart. He looked at the distant night sky and said: "You are right, Diao Chan is waiting for me, I will definitely rescue her!" Then his eyes revealed. Unlimited murderous aura, word by word: "Wang Yun will pay the price, and the Xianbei people will also pay the price! I will never let them go!"

Dong Yuan said with joy: "This is my eldest brother!"

Chen Lang hugged Dong Yuan, and Dong Yuan was taken aback when she was caught off guard, and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"

Chen Lang looked evil and impulsively: "What do you do? Hey, what do you think a man wants to do while holding a woman?"

Dong Yuan gave Chen Lang a sideways glance, and said angrily: "This is outside!" However, before she finished speaking, she was picked up by Chen Langheng and rushed into the woods by the stream. Then Dong Yuan's annoyed cry came out from the dark woods: "You bastard! Ah! You are necrotic, put me down!"...
