Xiangxiang's innocent eyes were open, and she looked confused and incomprehensible.

Chen Lang laughed and kissed Xiangxiang again, and said, "You can call Xiangxiangai what you want. What does it matter?" Xiangxiang grinned. Dong Yuan gave Chen Lang angrily.

Chen Lang looked at Diao Chan. Diao Chan was looking at him affectionately. When he saw him looking at him, he smiled softly, and the faint charming style rippled, causing Chen Lang's heart to sway.

Later that day, Chen Lang came to the study to discuss matters with Jia Xu and Chen Gong.

Chen Gongdao: "I just received the report that the war between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao has begun. However, the troops sent by the two sides are not many at present, so I must be reluctant."

Chen Lang looked at the report, nodded, and smiled: "They are worried about me, Yuan Shao and Sun Jian. After Yuan Shao launches an attack on me, they will let go of their hands and feet." The two smiled and nodded.

Chen Lang raised his head and asked, "What's the matter with Yuan Shao?"

Chen Gong clasped his fist and said: "According to the information returned by the recent meticulous work. Yuan Shao has already issued the order to mobilize the entire army, and the army and food and grass are being mobilized. However, this preparation will take a long time, and it is estimated that Yuan Shao will be the earliest. We won't be able to attack us until the beginning of spring next year." Chen Lang nodded and said, "It's almost as I expected."

Chen Gong continued: "In addition, Xizuo also sent an information, that Yuan Shao seems to have sent an envoy to Xianbei. He definitely wants Kebi to attack us from the north."

Jia Xu laughed and said: "Counselor Yuan Shao knew that Xianbei had been in a big battle with us before, and it would be impossible for the army to go south if the food and grass were completely destroyed, but he would never sit idly by! Therefore, inviting Xianbei to send troops can not only cope with them, but also won’t be right. They pose any threat!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Yuan Shao's counselors are not simple. It's just that Yuan Shao didn't know what the reason was, so he sat and watched them fight inwardly. If they can form a joint force, it will be amazing!"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "The lord's words are extremely true. It's just that Yuan Shao's personality can't change this at all."

Chen Lang nodded, and then said excitedly: "This time Yuan Shao comes to attack, he will definitely use his full strength! This will be a fierce battle!"

Chen Gong said: "Yuan Shao must hope to be able to defeat us in one fell swoop like he defeated Gongsun Zan! It's just that the lord is not Gongsun Zan, and this is not Youzhou!"

Chen Lang said to the two of them: "From now on, everything must serve for the war in the spring of next year. The Bingzhou side is ordered to mobilize the local people to reinforce Hulao Pass, Huguan and Yanmen Pass." Huguan is located in the middle of Taihang Mountains, a tradition of Bingzhou and Jizhou. Yuan Shao tried many times to enter Bingzhou from Huguan. Hulaoguan is located on the north bank of the Yellow River and is adjacent to Taihang Mountain. It is also the main throat channel from Jizhou to Bingzhou and Luoyang. The previous battle of 18 princes Tao against Dong Zhuo , Hulao Pass is one of the main battlefields; as for Yanmen Pass, it is naturally to guard against the Xianbei people. The war with Yuan Shao in the spring of next year will inevitably revolve around these three passes.

In Jizhou, Yuan Shao was walking in the garden. The beautiful wives and concubines looked around. Yuan Shao and the wives and concubines laughed again and again, obviously in a very good mood.

At this moment, Jushou's trial partner Guo Tu hurried over. Seeing the three of them coming over, Yuan Shao felt particularly disappointed and couldn't help frowning.

The three came straight to Yuan Shao and worshiped together; "Master!"

Yuan Shao nodded, and said to the wives and concubines: "Go down." The wives and concubines bowed and went down. Yuan Shao continued to stroll in the garden, followed by three counsellors.

Jushou clasped his fist and said, "According to the information that Xisuo just sent from Luoyang. Chen Lang has already noticed that our army has been mobilized, and has issued orders. Now many troops, food, grass and equipment are gathering in Bingzhou, and the officials of Bingzhou have also been gathered. After receiving Chen Lang's order, he is strengthening the Hulao Pass, Hu Pass and Yanmen Pass." Yuan Shao humbled indifferently, and said proudly: "Let him prepare to go! Measuring him can't stop my army's thunderous blow! "

Guo Tu quickly echoed: "The lord is a hero, and he is destined to dominate the world! Chen Lang is just a clown, how can he contend with the lord!" Guo Tu's words were great for Yuan Shao's appetite, and Yuan Shao burst into laughter. .

auzw.com Jushou's trial partner frowned, and the trial partner clasped his fists and said: "Although the lord is destined, Chen Lang is definitely not easy to be replaced, the lord must not be careless!" Yuan Shao, who was on his head, only felt as if he had been splashed with cold water on his head, and he couldn't help feeling displeased.

Guo Tu checked his words and thoughts, pointing to the trial and said: "Mr. Zhengnan speaks like this, do you think the lord still can't control Chen Lang?"

The trial partner was furious and pointed to Guo Tu's nose and shouted: "You villain, don't just flatter, this is harming the lord!" The trial partner's complexion changed, and Yuan Shao frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with the trial.

Seeing this scene, Jushou hurriedly shouted to the two of them: "Don't talk nonsense, now we are discussing how to deal with Chen Lang, a major event!" The two closed their mouths. Yuan Shao was distracted and asked Guo Tu: "Has the messenger sent to Xianbei come back?" Guo Tu immediately clasped his fists and said, "If you return to the lord. The messenger has already returned. Ke Bineng has already agreed, and it will be the beginning of the spring next year. Send troops to the south." Yuan Shao said, he didn't seem to be so interested.

Ju taught: "The Xianbei grain and grass were destroyed not long ago, so the scale of troops sent this time must be very limited. It happened to be able to contain some of the Yingyang army for us. Our army concentrated on attacking Huguan and Hulaoguan. As long as there are no accidents, our army will surely be able to invade Bingzhou and Luoyang."

Yuan Shao smiled triumphantly, looked up at the distant sky, and said: "Chen Lang, you dare to look down on me at the beginning, this time I want you to kneel in front of me!"

In the evening, Chen Lang rode a horse and returned to the city from outside the city under the support of a group of fang cavalry. He stayed in the barracks outside the city all day today and only came back now.

As soon as Chen Lang arrived at the gate, the door officer immediately greeted him, clasped his fist and said, "Master, Mr. Chen Gong is waiting in the hall."

Chen Lang walked quickly into the hall. When Chen Gong, who was waiting for Chen Lang, saw that Chen Lang had returned, he immediately greeted him, clasped his fists and said, "Master."

Chen Lang smiled and said, "The public has been waiting for a long time."

Chen Gong smiled and said, "The subordinates haven't been here for a long time." Then he took out a copy of the official document and presented it to Chen Lang with both hands, saying: "This is news from Xichuan."

Chen Lang's heart moved, and the official document opened up and read aside. He smiled and said: "Liu Bei's vitality is really tenacious! He actually became Liu Zhang's general again!" Chen Gong smiled: "Liu Bei is a hero, Liu Zhang uses him, I'm afraid he will take away the family business!"

Chen Lang gave a hum, looking at the official document, thinking: "Liu Zhang ordered Liu Bei to lead his army into Jiameng Pass. It seems that he is going to use his troops against Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. It would not be a good thing for us if Liu Bei occupied the Hanzhong area!"

Chen Gong nodded and said: "The lord's words are extremely true. But we don't care about Xichuan now. We only hope that Zhang Lu will not be too bad. When we solve Yuan Shao's problem, we will march west and take Hanzhong first. Occupy Xichuan again." Chen Lang nodded thoughtfully. Thinking of Sun Jian in the south, he asked, "Is there any news about Sun Jian lately?" Chen Gong shook his head and said, "Since the Jiangdong Army retreated, there has been no action. They seem to be replenishing their energy and accumulating strength. Hope. They don't want to attack Xiangfan when our army is fighting against Yuan Shaojun!"

Chen Lang waved his hand and said, "This kind of thing is useless to worry about. If the worst happens, Xiangfan will give up and retreat to Wancheng!" Chen Gong nodded.

Chen Gong went down. Chen Lang planned to go back to the backyard to accompany Dong Yuan Diaochan and Xiangxiang, and then went to the backyard but did not see a few of them. After asking Juaner, they found out that they had followed Madam Dong to Zhang's house at noon and had not returned yet. Chen Lang felt very boring to stay at home alone, so he took Dian Wei into casual clothes and went outside on the street.

It was late at this time, the lights in Luoyang City were bright, and the streets were bustling with excitement. Unlike Luoyang, where business is prosperous during the day, Luoyang at this moment has become a metropolis full of happiness and enjoyment. With feasting, singing and dancing, the scene in front of you makes people almost forget that there is still a troubled era of war for hegemony. Looking at this scene, Chen Lang felt as if he had returned to his time. At that time, every time he finished his mission, he would go to the metropolis with a few comrades to go to the cosmopolitan to revel in the vacation, he would numb the tired soul with wine and color, and get a temporary relaxation.

Chen Lang and Dianwei wandered aimlessly on the bustling streets under the shadow of the night. Before they knew it, they came to Du Kang’s building. Chen Lang laughed and said, "It’s evil, how about going in for a drink?" Dianwei’s eyes brightened and he shouted. Said; "Okay!"

The two walked into Du Kang Building, Xiao Er immediately greeted him, Chen Lang asked him for a room, but Xiaoer said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the hotel room is gone!" Then he pointed to the room. An empty table just cleaned up in the lobby said: "If the guest officer is not disgusted, how about eating in the lobby?"

Chen Lang and Dian Wei naturally didn't care, Chen Lang nodded. Xiao Er quickly led Chen Lang and Dian Wei to the table and sat down. Xiao Er asked: "What does the guest officer want to use?" Chen Lang said: "Just serve a few side dishes and two pots of good wine." Xiao Er promised and ran down.

Chen Lang looked around, and saw that the entire lobby was full of people, crowded, and very lively. There were also new guests coming in, but soon Xiaoer apologized to the new guests at the door, and those guests left very disappointed.

Just now they greeted Chen Lang and their Xiaoer, holding a few small dishes and two households of fine wine, walked over quickly, put down the wine and dishes, and asked: "What else does the guest officer want?"
