Seeing that Yuan Shao had made a decision and knew that he could not change Yuan Shao's intentions, Xu You said nothing more.

There were rapid footsteps not far away, and a messenger hurried over and bowed to Yuan Shao: "You have just received a detailed report that Gongsun Zan has assembled an army of 180,000 and is coming to the Border Bridge!"

Yuan Shao was not surprised but happy, laughed and said, "Good here! I was worried that I would not have the chance to annihilate his main force, but he came to my door!" Then he said to Xu You: "Ziyuan, immediately send our military orders, and all the troops in Jizhou gathered.

, follow me to the Border Bridge to fight."

Dingxiang, the prefect's office.

Zhang Lang sent Yuan Shao's envoy away and returned to the hall. Zhou Tong couldn't help but clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations to the general for promotion to General Guard! Moreover, the Prime Minister handed over all the military and political affairs of Bingzhou to the general, which shows that the Prime Minister has great trust compared to the general.

!”

Everyone present agreed, and the thin and thin Zhao Jue, who had always been cold, couldn't help but clasp his fists with excitement and said, "The Prime Minister obviously values ​​the young master! Even for the other three young masters, the Prime Minister has never valued it so much!"

Zhang Lang put the appointment document on the desk. Looking at the appointment document in front of him, he didn't feel much excited because for him, such a result was natural.

...

Luoyang, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In a palace outfit, Mrs. Liu, who was beautiful and noble, was standing in the corridor and looking at the spring scenery in front of her, smiling, and looking very good.

At this time, her confidant, Liu Tong, a first-level powerful man in Houdexuan, rushed over quickly and clasped his fists at Mrs. Liu and said, "Madam, I just received the news that the fourth young master won consecutive victories in Bingzhou, not only defeating Yang."

Yi, and also severely damaged the Huns twice!

Now, Yanmen and Dingxiang counties have been captured!…”

Mrs. Liu frowned and said in disbelief: "Have these messages been confirmed?"

Liu Tong nodded and said, "It has been confirmed. Not only has the Prime Minister's Mansion received a report from the Fourth Prince, but our people have also confirmed it!"

Mrs. Liu walked to the railing, looked at the flowers that were gradually blooming in the garden, frowned tightly, and murmured: "It's really surprising! I've already looked at him very high before, but I didn't expect that I still had some

Underestimated him!

Such a heroic posture is really amazing and terrifying!"

Thinking of something, he asked: "Didn't the Huns marry their princess to Yuan Mai? Why did Yuan Mai compete with them?"

Liu Tongdao: "According to the information we have obtained, the Huns are not really marrying a princess, but just a plan to conspire to seize Taiyuan from inside to outside!

However, I don’t know how the fourth young master saw through the plot of the Huns and set up an ambush in the Bluestone Valley, waiting for the Huns to fall into the trap. In a big battle, the Huns were almost wiped out, and only a few of the Right Xianwang were lucky.

Escape.

Not long after, the Right Xian King gathered the Xiongnu princes to take advantage of the opportunity of the fourth prince attacking Yanmen to raid the fourth prince, but was defeated by the fourth prince again!

Now that the Huns are seriously injured, it is impossible to invade again in a short period of time!” When Liu Tong said these words, his eyes involuntarily showed a look of admiration.

Mrs. Liu frowned and remained silent for a while, murmured, "Maybe, I should ease my relationship with him..."

Liu Tong thought of something and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Madam, there is another thing. I heard that the Prime Minister has enthroned the Fourth Prince as the General of the Guard of the Yulin Army, commanded all the Yulin Army and was in charge of the military and political affairs of Bingzhou!"

Mrs. Liu showed a look of shock and said nothing.

At this time, a maid came over quickly and bowed to Mrs. Liu: "Madam, the head of the family is here."

Mrs. Liu was shocked and hurriedly led everyone to greet her.

...

After Zhang Lang occupied Dingxiang, he stopped all military operations and ordered all troops to enter a state of rest and recuperation. At the same time, he counted the gains of this battle, as well as the reorganization of the surrender and captured troops.

That morning, just as Zhang Lang was handling official duties in the lobby of the prefect's office, Zhang Liao quickly stepped in and bowed to Zhang Lang with his fists and said, "General!"

Zhang Lang raised his head and saw that it was Zhang Liao, so he put down the official document in his hand and smiled and said, "It's Wenyuan."

Zhang Liao said: "I reported to the general, and the last general was ordered to reorganize the surrender and the captured troops, and after removing the desolate and retaining the essence according to the general's wishes, they obtained 15,000 people. They are now organized into the Yingyang Army, Cangting Army and Longxiang.

In the army!”

Zhang Lang nodded and said, "In this way, our total number of troops will be nearly 50,000." Looking at Zhang Liao, he said, "These people are not as good as the troops we trained in in all aspects, so they are incorporated into the army."

We need to step up training later.”

Zhang Liao clasped his fists and agreed.

Zhang Lang picked up the official document he was reading just now, stood up and walked to Zhang Liao, handed the official document to Zhang Liao and said, "This is just sent. You can also take a look at the resources obtained from this war."

Zhang Liao was curious and immediately took the document and read it. Soon Zhang Liao's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "A total of more than 120,000 war horses were seized?!..."

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "It seems that for Wen Yuan, war horses are the best resource!" Then he thought, "But although more than 120,000 war horses were seized, at least 40,000 were to be handed over. We ourselves

Only 80,000 can be left."

Zhang Liao nodded and continued to look, and saw that the number of various goods and food supplies was also very large, which was amazing.

Then he bowed and returned the official documents to Zhang Lang, clasped his fists and said, "General, we have so much money, food and materials, so we can continue to expand our army, even if we expand our army to 100,000,000!"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Soldiers are more important than elite troops. A common army of tens of thousands is by no means an opponent of tens of thousands of elite troops. So the scale of the army does not have to be too large!"

Zhang Liao was a famous general in a hundred battles. After hearing Zhang Lang's words, he couldn't help but resonate in his heart and nodded.

Zhang Lang looked at the official documents in his hand and said, "What's more, a considerable number of these resources should be used to restore and rebuild and appease the people. Not many can be used in the army."

Zhang Liao showed a touch of emotion and clasped his fists and said, "General is wise!"

Zhang Lang remembered something and asked: "Do you know that the Battle of Jieqiao in Jizhou is about to break out?"

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "The last general has heard of it. The Prime Minister gathered more than 400,000 troops to confront Gongsun Zan at Jieqiao. The battle is about to break out! The victory or defeat of this great battle will surely determine the final ownership of Jizhou!

”

Zhang Lang nodded and asked, "Wen Yuan thinks, who can win this battle?"
Chapter completed!
