Chapter 80 Targeting Zhang Lang
Yuan Shao, accompanied by Zhang Lang and surrounded by all the princes, entered the former Grand Master's residence of Dong Zhuo.
Seeing the huge mansion in front of them, which was so glorious that it was comparable to the imperial palace, everyone was amazed and couldn't help but curse Dong Zhuo.
I saw Yuan Shu scolding with great anger: "This man actually built his mansion so magnificently, even worse than the imperial palace. It shows that he has a disobedient heart for a long time!" Many people agreed.
Zhang Lang clasped his fists towards Yuan Shao and said, "Father, Dong Zhuo ran away in a hurry. Queen Mother He and many members of the royal family are still in the palace. I have sent troops to guard the palace to ensure their safety."
Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Maier did a great job!"
After taking a look at everyone, he said righteously: "We are all Han officials, and we should protect the blood of the Han royal family! In my opinion, everything in the palace remains as before. Since Mai'er has sent troops to guard it, it will continue to be guarded by his army.
None of our ministers are allowed to break into the palace without permission."
The faces of all the princes were different, but they did not object. Although they thought that Yuan Shao wanted to take the opportunity to control the palace and that he could find rare things to live in, the other party used great logic and could not tolerate their objection at all.
Cao Cao said to Yuan Shao urgently: "Alliance leader! We must not sit idly by as Thief Dong kidnaps the Holy Emperor and flees westward! Otherwise, if we, the eighteen princes, raise armies to rebel, it will become a joke. We should immediately send troops to pursue them and strive to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Thief Dong!
Even if the Dong thief cannot be annihilated, the Holy Master should be rescued!"
Yuan Shao pondered and nodded, saying: "Annihilating the Dong thief and rescuing the Holy Master is the natural obligation of our ministers and others!"
He glanced at everyone and asked: "Who wants to be a pioneer?"
Sun Jian and Cao Cao clasped their fists together and said: "I am willing to be the vanguard!"
Yuan Shao showed admiration on his face, nodded thoughtfully and said: "Wentai, Meng Qi, as the vanguard, will definitely be able to defeat the Dong thief and rescue the Holy Master!"
He glanced at the two men and said: "Then please lead your troops and attack immediately! After I have settled the affairs in Luoyang, I will immediately lead the army to the west!"
The two agreed and turned around.
At this moment, a general came in from outside, came directly to Yuan Xi, and whispered something.
Yuan Xi immediately glanced at Zhang Lang, smiled coldly, then clasped his fists towards Yuan Shao and said: "Father, the prefect Zhang Miao who entered Luoyang first was killed. This matter is very serious and the murderer must be severely punished!"
When Zhang Lang heard this, he immediately knew that this cheap second brother wanted to take the opportunity to murder him again. He simply cupped his fists towards Yuan Shao and said: "Father, I killed Zhang Miao..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. Firstly, they were shocked by Zhang Lang's boldness. Secondly, they were also shocked by Zhang Lang's strength.
Although everyone knows that Zhang Lang's Yingyang Army and Sharp Blade Army are powerful, they only have a few thousand soldiers after all, but Zhang Miao has an army of more than 20,000 people. Zhang Lang was able to defeat more than 20,000 people with just a few thousand people.
?!
Yuan Shao was a little dumbfounded. He looked at Zhang Lang and asked in disbelief: "Maier, you, you said you killed Zhang Miao?..."
Yuan Xi hurriedly said to Yuan Shao: "Father, in order to gain credit, Yuan Mai openly attacked his allies and killed princes. His behavior was extremely despicable and chilled the hearts of everyone in the world!
If he were not severely punished, wouldn't the world think that this matter was his father's instruction, and his father's prestige would be irreparably damaged! Therefore, both publicly and privately, he must be taken down and punished, so that the world can know that his father is not punishable by law.
The wise master who avoids relatives!"
Yuan Shao frowned and said nothing.
At this time, Yuan Shu jumped out, clasped his fists towards Yuan Shao and said: "Second Young Master, it is very clear! If the leader of the alliance cannot enforce the law impartially, I am afraid that all the princes present will not be convinced! And the people of the world will also question the leader of the alliance! The leader of the alliance must not do anything for it.
It’s a small gain but a big loss!”
All the princes agreed, but Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng did not speak, as if they were thinking about something.
Zhang Lang was a little surprised to see that all these princes jumped out to target him. After thinking about it, he understood that they probably felt that his performance was too eye-catching, so they deliberately took this opportunity to weaken the strength of his cheap father.
When Yuan Shao saw this scene in front of him, he felt quite embarrassed and unhappy at the same time.
He glanced at Zhang Lang and asked, "Maier, what do you say? What on earth is going on?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Lang,
Yuan Xi and most of the princes were thinking that this incident must have been caused by Yuan Mai and Zhang Miao competing for credit. Although this incident was normal, it was an unforgivable crime in the big picture. No matter how Zhang Lang tried to defend himself, it would be impossible.
Can't excuse myself!
Zhang Lang looked at the eyes of these people and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. He felt that he was so outstanding that no matter where he went, he would arouse endless jealousy from others.
He clasped his fists towards Yuan Shao and said, "Father, the reason why Zhang Miao was able to enter the city is because of General Zhang Liao." He pointed at Zhang Liao who had been following him.
At this moment, Zhang Liao was suppressing his anger, because he saw the ugly behavior of Yuan Xi and other princes against Zhang Lang, and felt how despicable these people were! To put it nicely, they were just jealous of the bravery of the Fourth Young Master, and wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of them!
He took a step forward, cupped his fists towards Yuan Shao and said, "I have met the leader of the alliance. The last general was originally the general who defended the city left by Dong Zhuo. He admired the reputation of the leader of the alliance, so he opened the city gate and let Zhang Miao enter the city.
Who would have thought that after Zhang Miao entered the city, he not only slaughtered the people, but also massacred the generals and others who tried to stop him. At this time, the Fourth Young Master arrived and led his army to defeat Zhang Miao.
Kill him and save the general and the people in the city.
The Fourth Young Master has no sins, only great merits, so I would like to ask the Leader of the Alliance to tell you clearly!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment. They had no idea that the truth of the matter was like this, and that Yuan Mai could defeat Zhang Miao under such circumstances. His strength was even more shocking!
Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "How can you make people believe your one-sided words?"
When Zhang Liao heard this, he almost exploded. He suppressed his anger and said to Yuan Shu: "If this general doesn't believe it, he can go to the city to inquire! The millions of people in the city can testify! And those under Zhang Miao
captive!"
Yuan Shuli was at a loss for words and shouted angrily: "How dare you speak to me like this!"
Zhang Liao ignored Yuan Shu, clasped his fists towards Yuan Shao and said: "The Fourth Young Master is not only wise and brave, but also has a chivalrous heart. It was the Fourth Young Master who saved the last general, saved Luoyang, and saved all the people here! Please be enlightened, leader!"
The sound was sonorous and powerful, echoing throughout the hall.
When Yuan Xi saw that his father actually cast an appreciative look at Zhang Lang, he was shocked and quickly clasped his fists and said, "Father, this matter..."
Yuan Shao waved his hand in displeasure and said angrily: "Maier protects the people and rescues meritorious ministers, they should be rewarded!"
He glanced at the princes headed by Yuan Shu and asked displeasedly: "Do you want to keep your eyes open for the evil thieves who slaughtered the people and killed the heroes?"
Everyone was wrong and didn't even dare to talk.
