Cao Ren nodded with deep sympathy and looked at Ying Yangjun.

He pursed his lips and said: "Look at the army under his command, which is heavily armored and powerful. If this army was trained by him, then the Fourth Young Master's endurance may be far beyond our imagination!

"

Then he said to Li Dian: "I'm very curious about what happened in the battle at Cangting! You should take someone to Cangting immediately to have a look!"

Li Dian clasped his fists in agreement, immediately turned his horse's head, and led dozens of his own soldiers to run towards Cangting.

Zhang Lang and the others had not encountered any enemies since they joined the troops who came to meet them. They traveled day and night, and after a few days they finally arrived at Chenliu, the place where the princes were meeting for an alliance.

After Yuan Shao learned that Zhang Lang defeated the Black Mountain bandit army and saved all the food, grass and baggage, he was overjoyed and praised Zhang Lang in public: "I didn't expect my maier to be so brave! Good! Great!"

The surrounding civil and military officials, as well as the princes who had arrived, all started praising him, saying that Yuan Shao had a father like a tiger but no dog like a son. Because of his heroic father, Yuan Shao, there was such a heroic and invincible son like Zhang Lang!

These words were obviously used to flatter Zhang Lang and Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao had a broad mind and laughed heartily.

Zhang Lang stood next to Yuan Shao and glanced at the people present. He noticed a man of medium build, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a beard under his chin. Although he was smiling, he seemed to be looking at him with a hint of power.

She met his eyes and nodded towards him with a smile.

Zhang Lang was stunned and immediately responded with a smile. At this time, he noticed that Cao Ren was standing next to the man with extraordinary temperament, and his attitude was very respectful.

Zhang Lang suddenly realized and murmured: "He is Cao Cao! He is more powerful than the Cao Cao in movies and TV shows!"

At this moment, Yuan Xi is probably the most depressed person in the middle of this hall.

When he saw Zhang Lang being noticed by everyone and receiving admiration and praise from all directions, the jealousy in his heart burned like a fire poured with kerosene, burning uncontrollably.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward with a sarcastic tone: "I don't know whether what the fourth brother said is true or not! With only 3,500 men, we can defeat more than 20,000 Montenegrin bandit troops! No matter how I hear this, I think it is just a dream.

generally!"

The scene suddenly became quiet, and the faces of all the princes showed interesting expressions. The atmosphere at the scene became a little awkward at this moment.

Yuan Shao frowned, feeling a little displeased with Yuan Xi's words. However, his dissatisfaction soon turned into suspicion, and he cast his eyes at Zhang Lang.

In Yuan Shao's heart, he only felt that if this fourth son was really talking nonsense to get credit, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him when the matter was revealed? Thinking like this, his brows furrowed even more.

Zhang Lang looked at Yuan Shao's expression and roughly guessed what this cheap dad was thinking, and he couldn't help but feel sad for Yuan Mai, who had already turned into a ghost.

Yuan Xi obviously felt the change in his father's attitude. He couldn't help but cheer up and continued to speak aggressively: "Fourth brother, you better be honest and clear! How can you achieve this kind of victory with one against ten?

Even the famous generals in ancient times may not be able to do this. If the truth of this matter is revealed in the future, wouldn't it embarrass my father in front of all the uncles, and would it tarnish the reputation of our Yuan family?

So you should tell the truth now, and stop talking nonsense to get credit! Tell the truth now, and both father and I will forgive you!"

Yuan Xi spoke categorically, as if he regarded Zhang Lang as a prisoner.

However, Yuan Shao and most of the princes present still felt that his words were reasonable. They also found it difficult to believe, or in other words, they did not want to believe that the young Zhang Lang could create such a thing that only legendary generals could create.

Achievements.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhang Lang. Zhang Lang felt as if he had suddenly turned into a criminal being interrogated by everyone. He couldn't help but feel angry and a little sad. He looked at Yuan Xi and said coldly.

: "Believe it or not!..."

Yuan Xi's expression changed. Yuan Shao said displeasedly: "Maier, how could you speak like this to your brother?..."

Zhang Lang suddenly felt that he was really boring as a playboy, and he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​leaving. However, when he thought of the many people following him, he suddenly realized that he could no longer leave at this moment.

"Maier, what else do you have to say?" Yuan Shao's voice came, seeming to be even more unhappy,

Zhang Lang came back to his senses and felt that for the sake of the people around him, he had to explain the situation of this battle clearly. As soon as he thought about it, he was ready to describe the course of the battle.

At this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly came from the door. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but cast their eyes towards the door, and they saw the dusty Li Dian walking in quickly.

Li Dian ran straight to Cao Cao and reported in a low voice. Cao Cao suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Lang, with an astonishing look in his eyes.

Then Cao Cao stepped forward, raised his hands and said to everyone: "Everyone, Li Dian just came back from Cangting. Let him talk about what he saw."

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Li Dian, with different expressions on their faces.

Some showed an expression of gloating as if they were waiting to see Yuan Shao make a fool of himself, especially Yuan Shu, who looked somewhat similar to Yuan Shao but had a slightly vulgar temperament. At this moment, he looked like he couldn't wait any longer.

Some are just curious, such as Han Fu, Tao Qian, Kong Rong and other princes. However, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shao are the two most nervous among them. Both of them feel a little uneasy in their hearts. At the same time, they are also surprised that Li

Why did Dian go to Cangting for a walk?

Li Dian stepped forward, glanced at everyone present, clasped his fists and said: "Everyone, after the last general followed General Cao Ren to pick up the fourth son's grain transport team on the road, he was ordered to go to Cangting to inquire about the situation in order to prevent the Black Mountain bandit army.

There are other conspiracies.

And the last general also saw the situation at Cangting at this time..."

Yuan Xi couldn't help but said anxiously: "There must be no traces of war there! There must have been no fighting there!..."

Li Dian glanced at Yuan Xi, shook his head, clasped his fists and said: "Second Young Master is wrong, there was indeed a battle in Cangting!..."

Yuan Xi was shocked and said quickly: "Oh! That must be just a small-scale battle!"

Li Dian shook his head again, clasped his fists and said: "Second Young Master is wrong again. This is not a small-scale battle, but a tragic battle involving tens of thousands of troops!..."

Yuan Xi was shocked and shouted: "How is this possible?!"

Li Dian said displeasedly: "Everyone who knows the general knows that the general never lies. If the second master doesn't believe it, you can go to Cangting and have a look yourself!"

Then he said to everyone present: "The general will see traces of brutal fighting everywhere on Cangting Mountain and down the mountain! Weapons and many corpses are still scattered everywhere!

There was also a large pit where corpses were temporarily buried, and the general found thousands of corpses of Black Mountain bandits in it!"

Everyone present was shocked when they heard this.
