Back to the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Yang was overjoyed and said: "What the sir said is exactly what I want." Then he became worried again, and said: "However, the Eagle Yang army is now on the ground, and the husband has already expressed my willingness to surrender on my behalf. Then Chen Lang must be furious and attack the city! I'm afraid, I'm afraid...!"

Zhang Cong smiled and said: "The lord does not have to worry, this matter can be used as an opportunity to delay the battle." Then he asked: "I don't know when the leader's army will come? The leader will not send an army over, right?"

Zhang Yang said: "The lord's messenger said that the lord has sent general Zhang Yun to lead an army of 100,000 on the westward road, and he will arrive in about three days."

Zhang Cong said with joy: "It only takes three days, then there is nothing wrong. Lord, we can say to Chen Lang that the Lord has a sudden illness and it is difficult to act. Please Chen Lang postponed the return time for a few days. I think Chen Lang should not. I will refuse such a request." Zhang Yang nodded and praised: "This strategy is good! Just do it!"

Early the next morning, Zhang Cong rushed to Chen Lang’s big account, with a panic expression on his face: "General, something has happened. Last night my Patriarch had a sudden illness and was unable to act. This date of surrender can only be postponed. General Wangwang can be considerate!"

Gan Ning angrily said: "Early the disease does not develop the disease, the disease does not occur later, but it happens to be onset at this time, what tricks are you playing?"

Zhang Cong hurriedly said, "How can I dare to play tricks in front of the general? It was a sudden incident. Please forgive me, the general!"

Chen Lang raised his hand to stop Gan Ning who was still talking, and said to Zhang Cong: "Since you adults have a sudden illness, it is also helpless. So what does Zhang Yang plan to do?"

Zhang Cong hurriedly said: "It will take a few days for my lord to recover from the disease. At that time, the lord will lead all the troops out of the city to surrender to the general!"

"How many days does your lord's chronic illness need to recover?"

"It's usually three days."

"Yeah. I have a medical officer accompanying me in the barracks. I have superb medical skills. Why don't you let him go to town for Zhang Yang's diagnosis and treatment."

Zhang Cong was taken aback, and quickly said, "No! Well, thank you for your kindness! But this is just my lord’s chronic illness. It's nothing great. You only need to rest for a few days and you won’t have to work for the general’s medical officer!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "If that's the case, then forget it." After a pause, he asked, "Why didn't the messenger I sent come with my husband?"

Zhang Cong er, hurriedly said: "Yes, it is like this. Your envoy, he, he has other things, so he didn't come."

Chen Lang nodded and said: "Since Zhang Yang has a sudden illness, then the return will be postponed for five days. Let Master Zhang Yang recover well these days." Zhang Cong was overjoyed in his heart, and he quickly bowed and thanked him.

After Zhang Cong left, Zhao Yun frowned and said: "It is a bit strange that Zhang Yang has a sudden illness at this time!" With a heart move, he looked at Chen Lang and asked, "General, would this be a tactic to slow down Zhang Yang?"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Are you going to slow down? What can he do after a few days?"

Zhang Cong returned to Zhang Yang's office. Seeing him back, Zhang Yang hurriedly asked: "What's the situation? Does Chen Lang have any doubts?" At this time, a man with extraordinary demeanor in a Confucian shirt was sitting in the hall. This person was the messenger sent by Yuan Shao, Xu Yau.

Zhang Cong smiled and said, "Then Chen Lang was completely kept in the dark without any doubt!" Zhang Yang was very pleased.

Xu You twisted the goat's whiskers and said, "That Chen Lang is not an easy figure to deal with. Not only is it fierce as a tiger and wolf, but also as cunning as a fox! Adults should not be taken lightly!"

Zhang Yang nodded in sympathy, and said, "I will immediately order the following to strengthen the defense!" Xu You hurriedly said: "The adults can only make the following secretly strengthen the defenses, but on the surface, they should still keep the way they are now." Zhang Yang was puzzled. "Why is this?" Xu You smiled slightly and said, "Then Chen Lang is not a fool. If he saw you suddenly strengthen the defense of the four walls, how would he feel?" Zhang Yang understood immediately, with a face. Admiration: "Mr. is extremely concerned!" Then two generals were called in and ordered according to Xu Youdi's suggestion. The two generals led away.

That night, Chen Lang, accompanied by Zhao Yun, rode his horse to a hill near Shangdang, and looked at the city wall for a while, but found nothing unusual. Zhao Yun said, "There is nothing unusual, just like last night, it seems that we have been worrying too much!" Chen Lang nodded and said, "Go back." Then he turned his head and went back to camp.

At the same time, on the east side of the Taihang Mountains, General Yuan Shao General Zhang Yunzheng led an army of 100,000 and headed westward toward the Shangdang area.

In the dead of night, Chen Lang still did not rest, standing in front of the map, looking at the map and thinking. Zhang Yang's sudden illness has always made Chen Lang unable to let go. First of all, this reason is too coincidental, but this reason seems reasonable, but it seems a bit far-fetched after thinking about it carefully. If you really surrender sincerely, it will not be a problem even if you have a sudden illness; the other is that your own party has sent it to the public. The fact that the messenger never heard from the news also made Chen Lang feel very suspicious. Although so far, I can't see what kind of medicine Zhang Yang's gourd actually sells, but Chen Lang feels that Zhang Yang is playing a trick of slowing down. And what are you waiting for?

Chen Lang's gaze searched around the Shangdang. He assumed that the other party was using the trick of deferral, and then they were waiting for the power to change the situation.

Huns? It should be impossible. Although the Huns have not yet been annihilated, they have suffered heavy losses and marched northward. There is almost no possibility of regrouping in a short period of time.

Chen Lang moved his gaze to the Jizhou area to the east of the Taihang Mountains. With a heart move, he murmured: "Yuan Shao sits on Jizhou, and recently occupied Qingzhou with 500,000 troops. Recently, he lost Gongsun Zan in a row, and his soldiers are flourishing. I'm afraid. Yuan Shao is also planning to conquer the state! Did Zhang Yang get in touch with Yuan Shao? I am afraid it is very possible! If Zhang Yang used a postponement strategy, then almost all of the time, he is waiting for Yuan Shao's reinforcements."

"But there is a problem here. The Taihang Mountain area is occupied by Zhang Yan's black mountain thief. If Yuan Shao wants to conquer the state, he must cross the Taihang Mountain. Will Zhang Yan let him pass?" Chen Lang couldn't help but feel that this speculation seemed to be too. It is difficult to establish. Could it be that I was over-minded, but Zhang Yang didn't play any tricks at all, it was indeed a sudden illness?

At about the same time, Zhang Yun's army entered Zhang Yan's control. Zhang Yan was originally a remnant of the Yellow Turban, and later surrendered to the court. Therefore, he was canonized by the Han Ling Emperor as a general in peace, and was responsible for the mountainous area north of the Yellow River. However, Zhang Yan's actual control range lies between Bingzhou and Jizhou. Taihang Mountain area. Zhang Yan's army is called the Black Mountain Army, which is known as one million. Of course, there will not be so many troops, but there are more than one hundred and two hundred thousand. In the entire northern region, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army is definitely a decisive force.

As soon as the army led by Zhang Yun entered the territory of the Montenegrin Army, the black flag in front of the army was surging, and nearly 10,000 cavalrymen approached under the leadership of a general with a yellow scarf. Zhang Yun ordered the army to stop and stepped forward and shouted: "General Zhang Yun under the command of Yuan Dadu pays homage to General Zhang Yan!"

The general led the army to stop before Zhang Xun's army, and he immediately clasped his fists and said: "General Zhang, please. I will be ordered by the general to lead the army across the mountain, please follow me." Then he led his men in vain. Soldiers and horses lead the way. Zhang Chen secretly issued the order of the army to wait for it, and immediately led a 100,000 army to follow behind the Black Mountain Army. Along the way, I saw heavy guards everywhere in dangerous areas, and Zhang Chen didn't dare to care.

The army walked through the mountains for a whole night, and then walked for a long time. The eyes suddenly became bright, and the endless and gentle landscape came into view. Zhang Xi knew that he must have passed the Taihang Mountains. The Montenegrin general led Lema to Zhang Yunma, clasped his fist and said, "I will send the general here."

Zhang Yun clasped his fist and said: "Thank you!" Then even led the army straight down Taihang Mountain. After walking for about an hour, a pass across the valley blocked the road. On the edge of the pass gate was written two vigorous and powerful characters: ‘huguan’. Huguan, the only way to connect the Taihang Mountains to Jizhou, has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Today, Huguan is guarded by the Shangdang Prefect Zhangyang's army, with only one thousand people. Zhang Yang that day was Shangdang County, which detoured here to return. After the Huguan, the party is a few dozen miles away.

Yuan Shao's side had already made an appointment with Zhang Yang's side, so Zhang Xi led the army to Huguanchengguan, and immediately sent someone to call the door.

Zhang Yun's people called the door for a while, but suddenly countless battle flags appeared above the city, and at the same time the sturdy officers and soldiers bowed their bows and aimed straight down at the city. Zhang Yun frowned when he saw this, and shouted: "I am Zhang Yun. I am hereby ordered by my lord Yuan Shao to lead an army to rescue Master Zhang Yang. Open the city gate quickly!"

Under the shadow of the flag on the city’s head, a general walked out, with a silver helmet and white robe, with a handsome appearance, and said in a loud voice: "I am the Eagle Yang Army General Zhao Yun! The general has long expected Yuan Shaojun to attack our army, so he sent me Come here to wait for you!"

Zhang Yun was taken aback, and then he noticed that on the biggest banner on the city wall was an eagle with wings spread out, which was the emblem of the eagle and army.

The general on the side said to Zhang Yun: "General, attack!"

Zhang Yun glanced at Zhao Yun, who was in his spare time in Chengguan, and shook his head: "Chen Lang has already anticipated our actions, and Zhao Yun has taken Huguan again. The other side waits for work. The situation is not good for us. If we attack rashly, I am afraid that we will suffer unnecessary losses. There will be any gains!" The minister frowned and said: "The lord is very concerned about taking Bingzhou. If the general returns without success, he will definitely be punished by the lord!" Zhang Xi frowned and said: "The situation is like this, if the main attack is to be punished, I too There is no way! Pass the order and retreat! At the same time, send a quick horse to notify the lord!" The general kept the promise and ran down.
