Chapter 336: Focus of all parties
It was said that Wenpin was no match for Huang Zhong, so he retreated, and soon joined the large army led by Chen Lang. Seeing Huang Zhong, Wenpin said with a shame on his face: "The final general is incompetent. He was defeated by Huang Zhong, and the Lord will be convicted!"
Chen Lang smiled and said, "Is Huang Zhong in Fancheng? This is beyond my expectation!" He glanced at Wenpin who was ashamed and smiled; "General Wenpin doesn't have to blame himself, this is what I didn't expect. Because of the enemy's situation, I don't blame you." Wen Pin couldn't help being grateful, clasped his fists to thank you, and then retreated to the queue.
Jia Xu said: "Huang Zhong is superior in military strength, and Wenpin is better at strategy. In this case, it is reasonable to encounter small setbacks. However, General Wenpin's trip can be regarded as a gain, at least we know that Jingzhou The strongest general Huang Zhongxian is in Fancheng." Chen Lang nodded.
Jia Xu smiled and said: "When the army arrives in Fancheng, the lord can go and talk to Huang Zhong." Chen Lang was taken aback, then understood what Jia Xu meant, smiled and nodded.
When the army reached the foot of Fancheng, Liu Qi and others were extremely nervous. All the officers and soldiers were on the wall and stood ready. Everyone tensed their nerves.
Chen Lang rode his horse out of the battle, shouting loudly: "Old General Huang, the old man is here, are you willing to come out and share the old with him?"
Liu Qi frowned immediately and said, "I'm afraid this is Chen Lang's trick, and the old general can't go out!"
Huang Zhong was not afraid, and laughed: "Why don't I, Huang Zhong, fear him!" After speaking, he ignored Liu Qi's advice and took his big sword down the city wall. He rode out of the city and came to Chen Lang alone, holding his fists. Said: "General, don't come here unharmed?"
Chen Lang smiled and nodded, "I'm fine. I wonder how the old general is doing?"
Huang Zhongdao: "Me too." Then he fisted at Chen Lang and said in gratitude: "I haven't thanked the general for returning my wife and children to my wife and children so that the old man has no worries."
Chen Lang smiled and waved his hand. "The old general doesn't have to thank me. I didn't do it out of righteousness. I just don't like to use other people's family members." Huang Zhong showed admiration.
Chen Lang looked at the sky and saw that the sky was blue and cloudless. He couldn't help sighing, "The weather is really good today! It's perfect for outing in the garden!"
Huang Zhong didn't expect Chen Lang to say such a thing. He was stunned and laughed: "The weather is really good today. If it weren't for the battle against the generals, I would really like to have a good drink with the generals! "
Chen Lang laughed loudly and said: "There is a chance! After this battle is over, you and I will drink him so dark and drunk to make it happy!" Chen Lang's words were right to Huang Zhong's appetite, Huang Zhong had a big haha. laugh it out. The people on the wall were watching Chen Lang and Huang Zhong. Seeing that the two talked very happily, but they couldn't hear what they were talking about, I couldn't help being suspicious!
Chen Lang thought of Huang Wudie and couldn't help asking: "It's been a long time since I saw Girl Huang. I wonder if Girl Huang is doing well?"
Huang Zhong smiled and nodded, and then said, "Diedie is also in Fancheng!"
Chen Lang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help looking at the city wall. He just saw the yellow dancing butterfly standing on the city wall like a group of chickens, and smiled slightly. Huang Wudie saw Chen Lang smiling at herself, and Xiafei couldn't help but gave him an annoyed look. This is where the two armies are facing each other, it is clearly the intention of Langqing concubine!
Chen Lang regained his gaze, chatted with Huang Zhong again, and finally clasped his fist and said: "Old general, take care! I'm afraid we will fight to the death next time we meet!" Huang Zhong sighed, clasped his fist and said, "Each one another!" The two turned their horses and returned to their respective armies.
Then the Yingyang army retreated and set up a base a few miles away.
Huang Zhong returned to the city wall and met Liu Qi. Liu Qi frowned and asked, "What did you say to Chen Lang?"
Huang Zhongdao: "Just greet each other and talk about the daily routine."
Liu Qi was furious and shouted: "Do you think I am a kid to be deceived? Chen Lang calls you to speak, I want you to ignore it, how dare you turn a deaf ear! After meeting, how could Chen Lang not recruit you? You actually said you were just Gossip! This kind of talk means that even children can't believe it!"
Huang Zhong was taken aback, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Lord, what I say is the truth! I am loyal to the lord, and there is absolutely no way to hide the lord!"
Liu Qi snorted, even if he wanted to deal with Huang Zhong, but thinking of Huang Zhong's position in the army, he didn't dare to make trouble, and temporarily suppressed the matter. At this time, the Yingyang army had already retreated, and Liu Qi ordered the army to guard strictly, and then went back to rest.
Chen Lang stood in front of the map of the big tent, looking at the big tent with thoughtfulness. Jia Xu came in, clasped his fist and said, "Master."
Chen Lang turned around and asked, "Is there any news about Wei Yan?"
Jia Xu said, "The person sent has just returned."
"Where is the person?"
"Just off the account."
auzw.com "Let him in."
Jia Xu responded and immediately turned his head and raised his voice out of the account: "Lord Summon!"
The curtain opened immediately, and saw a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary civilian clothes and a dusty servant stepping forward quickly, saying: "The villain pays homage to the lord."
"Yeah. You went to see Wei Yan, what's the situation?"
"Return to the lord, Wei Yan has already accepted the lord's order. However, he said that he can't start the operation temporarily before the time, and please don't worry."
Chen Lang frowned and said, "It's nonsense. He controls the main force guarding Xiangyang. Now Fancheng Liu Biaojun is suppressed by our army and can't move at all. If he starts, who in Xiangyang can resist? He is obviously making excuses. !"
Jia Xu thought to himself: "Wei Yan can never die loyal to Liu Biao. He is suddenly like this. According to the current situation, I am afraid that he has some contact with Sun Jian."
Chen Lang frowned and said, "Are you saying that Wei Yan is waiting for the price now?"
Jia Xu said: "It's not just waiting for the price. I'm afraid it's also looking at the development of the situation. The development of the situation is more favorable to us, and he immediately executes the lord's order. If it is more favorable to the Sun family, I think he will do it easily Take refuge in Sun Jian." Chen Lang nodded thoughtfully, and smiled: "I have heard that Wei Yan is a gangster. I didn't believe it very much at first, but now it seems to be the case!" After thinking about it, he smiled: "This Don’t worry about this. Wei Yan is a smart man and will make wise decisions." Jia Xu smiled and said, "The lord is wise!"
Chen Lang paced back and forth and asked, "Where is Lu Bu, is there any response from Lu Bu?"
Jia Xu clasped his fist and said: "Just about to report to the Lord, Lu Bu has detained the envoy we sent!"
Chen Lang stopped, frowned and asked, "What does Lu Bu mean?"
Jia Xu said: "Although Lu Bu detained our emissary, he did not execute it or hand it over to Liu Biao. I think Lu Bu is still hesitating."
Chen Lang said unhappily: "Sometimes I really don't understand this Lu Bu! You see, he can even take refuge in Tao Qian and Liu Biao, but why doesn't he come to take refuge in me?" Then he laughed at himself: "Is it in his heart that I am Isn't it as good as Tao Qian Liu Biao?"
Jia Xu laughed and said: "The reason why Lu Bu did not come to seek refuge in the lord was precisely because he was afraid of the lord! With the lord's talents and martial arts, Lu Bu knew that once he came to vote, he could only honestly be a general! But Lu Bu did. Ambitious, so it fits his mind to take refuge in those useless princes!"
Chen Lang understood and laughed.
He turned to Xiangyang.
A mysterious man has just left. Wei Yan picked up the teacup and drank slowly. The wife asked anxiously: "What is the general thinking? Why did he receive the order of General Yingyang before and now he is in contact with Sun Jian's emissary?"
Wei Yan put down the tea bowl and smiled: "The current situation is still unclear. The Sun family has been standing still. In the end, it's hard to say who will die in this battle! I can't hang on a tree. I have to prepare a few more ways!"
The wife said in a puzzled way: "General Yingyang has already approached Fancheng, but Jiangdong Army has not made any movement in Jingzhou City. Isn't the strength and weakness obvious?"
Wei Yan smiled and shook his head and said, "How do you know about this kind of thing!" Then he said impatiently, "It's getting late, you should go to rest first!" The lady didn't dare to disturb Wei Yan anymore and went on. Wei Yan still sat where he was thinking, with a triumphant smile in his eyes.
Sun Jian's emissary quickly reported Wei Yan's attitude to Sun Jian. Sun Jian frowned and said, "Since I have agreed, why do I have to delay?" He said, looking at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Wei Yan's actions couldn't be more obvious! He is waiting for the price!" Looking at Sun Jian, "Presumably he is also in contact with Chen Lang at this moment."
Sun Jian frowned and asked, "What should I do?"
Zhou Yu clasped his fist and said: "Please ask the lord to go to Jingzhou City immediately and lead the army to Xiangyang City!"
Sun Jian was taken aback, smiled and asked, "Didn't you suggest that I shouldn't be rushed? Why do you want me to move forward quickly? If I fight the Jingzhou Army, wouldn't it be cheaper for Chen Lang?"
Zhou Yu said: "Knowing the lord, the situation today is different from before. Yuan Shujun has collapsed. If we don’t act quickly, I’m afraid we will be preempted by Chen Lang. Since Wei Yan is waiting for the price, as long as my army is in Xiangyang. Under the city, Wei Yan must be panicked to vote. Then we joined forces across the Xiangjiang River to help Fancheng, and we should be able to repel the Yingyang army that has been attacking Fancheng for a long time! In this way, Fancheng will also fall into the hands of the lord! The fighter has appeared, Please make a quick decision!"
Sun Jian thought for a while, Huo Sui started, and resolutely said: "Okay! I will go to the South County immediately!" The South County is Jingzhou City, which is the seat of the Jingzhou Administration.
He turned his gaze back to Fancheng. In the middle of the night, Yingyang Army warriors suddenly appeared outside the city of Fancheng and drove back and forth, constantly shooting arrows into the city. The alarm in the city suddenly rose, everyone hurriedly rushed to the city wall to guard, the people were also awakened one after another, crying one after another, the whole city looked chaotic.
Liu Qi rushed out of the bedroom without putting on his clothes and pants. Seeing an officer rushing forward, he couldn't help but hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Why is it so noisy?"
