Chapter 144: Yuan Shao Sends Troops

Zhang Lang felt that Liu Biao had all the main force retreated into Xiangyang City, and there should be no problem in a short period of time. He was thinking about what his side should do? At present, he could not mobilize heavy troops, and only Ma Chao's 60,000 cavalry could be used. If 60,000 cavalry were in the Central Plains, Zhang Lang was absolutely sure to deal with Sun Jian's 150,000 troops. However, when he arrived in the Jingxiang area, the situation would probably reverse. Zhang Lang's 150,000 cavalry was good at raiding in the plains. When he arrived in Jingxiang, his advantage would be greatly reduced. Once he formed a confrontation with the enemy again, the situation would be even more unfavorable!

Wait a little longer! Zhang Lang thinks so.

Zhang Lang was about to wait, but Liu Biao could no longer sit still. Facing Sun Jian's army who was already at the city, Liu Biao sent several waves of envoys to Luoyang for help from Yuan Shao.

After receiving Liu Biao's urgent request for help, Yuan Shao immediately summoned civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.

Yuan Shao shook Liu Biao's handwritten letter, "Liu Biao has sent three groups of people to ask for help! The situation in Xiangyang is obviously in danger! What do you think?"

Tian Feng clasped his fists and said, "Our army had just fought with Lu Bu and Cao Cao. Although the troops could still fight, the food and grass were no longer rich. What should we do if we send troops to help Liu Biao, Cao Cao and Lu Bu attack at this time?"

Yuan Shao frowned and nodded.

Xu You laughed mockingly and clasped his fists and said, "Lord, Tian Feng only knows one thing but not the other. Although our army lacks food and grass, is it that Cao Cao and Lu Bu have enough food and grass for a long time? According to the spies, Cao Cao had exhausted the food and grass, and now he cannot mobilize the army at all. Lu Bu's food and grass reserves are far lower than our army, so he is unable to launch an attack on our army. Moreover, the five counties have occupied Hangu Pass, so what are you afraid of Lu Bu's food and grass? My subordinates think that this is a great time to go south to Jingzhou. Since Liu Biao sent someone to ask for help, we will mobilize the army into Xiangyang and take the opportunity to swallow it!" He smiled, "The rich land of Xiangyang should be a cornerstone of the lord's hegemony!"

Yuan Shao was overjoyed, "Okay! Ziyuan's words are very suitable for me! I will pass on our military orders and immediately mobilize the army to go south to Xiangyang!" He looked at Ju Su, "Ju Su, you are responsible for preparing food and grass!" "No." "Tian Feng, guard Luoyang for me." "No."

Yuan Shao looked up at the distance and said passionately: "I want to be handsome and compete with Xiangyang!"

That night, Liu Biao's envoy Kuai Liang came to Xu You's residence with generous gifts. Xu You met him in the study.

Kuai Liang presented a gift and said gratefully: "The reinforcements can be accomplished all depend on Mr.'s achievements!"

Xu You laughed proudly, held his beard and said, "My words are naturally a word in front of the lord!" "Yes, yes, yes, I will have to rely on the sir in the future!"

Xu You smiled and said, "It's easy to say."

...

The dark curtains shrouded the earth, the stars and the moon were everywhere, and tireless geese flew into herringbone shapes to fly over the light and shadow of the moon; the evening breeze was gentle, and the city was silent, and the guest was performing the unique rhythm of that night. The candlelight in the study swayed, and Zhang Lang stood in front of the huge map, his eyes fixed on Xiangyang, and his brows were slightly frowning.

Huang Yueying finished sorting out the report for the day and was about to rest, but unexpectedly found that the lights were still on in Zhang Lang's study room in the distance. She was curious, so she left the room and walked towards the study room in the distance.

The guards who met on the road knew Huang Yueying's identity, and they all looked like her in her heart, and then continued their responsibilities.

Huang Yueying walked to the door lightly, and saw Zhang Lang standing in front of a huge map thinking about something. Looking at his silhouette, his edges were clear, like a tall and mighty sculpture. The sculptures of gods in the temple were simply incomparable to him! His eyebrows were slightly frowned, revealing an indescribable manly temperament, which made Huang Yueying's heart ripple. He came back to his senses, and his delicate face turned red, and he couldn't help but blame himself.

"Who is there?" Zhang Lang asked angrily when he heard a voice at the door.

Huang Yueying hurriedly walked in, Yingying said, "I disturbed the general, please forgive me!"

Zhang Lang turned around, saw Huang Yueying, and smiled and said, "So it's you! Why haven't you slept so late?"

Huang Yueying smiled slightly, "Didn't the general not sleeping?"

Zhang Lang laughed and turned around to continue looking at the map. Huang Yueying walked up and took a look at Jingzhou, "Are you considering the matter of Jingzhou?"

Zhang Lang nodded and looked at Huang Yueying, "Speaking of this, Liu Biao and the others are relatives. If I am seeking Jingzhou, will you feel uncomfortable?"

Huang Yueying smiled, "The General is worried too much! When there is a great chaos today, only the king can end the troubled times together. Liu Biao is obviously not the king! He occupied Jingzhou not only is it not a blessing, but a disaster! I believe that the general ending Liu Biao's rule is the best solution for him! At the same time, I believe that the general can end the troubled times!"

Zhang Lang stared at Huang Yueying in a daze.

Huang Yueying was embarrassed by Zhang Lang's eyes, so she couldn't help but stroke her hair, and asked with a slightly red face, "Why is the general looking at me like this?"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "I found that Yueying seems to be more confident than myself!"

Huang Yueying smiled with a pursed lips.

Zhang Lang was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and looked at the map and thought, "I'm worried that Yuan Shao will send troops in the end!"

Huang Yueying smiled, "This is almost certain! As far as the current situation is concerned, Yuan Shao has every reason to send troops!"

Zhang Lang asked with a smile: "What should I do if Yuan Shao sends troops?"

Huang Yueying smiled pursed her lips, "The general has clearly already had a solution to it, why do you still ask me?"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "I'm really asking for advice!"

Huang Yueying thought, "If Yuan Shao sends troops, it's just right. Let's sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight! Let them fight first, we wait for an opportunity to move!"

Zhang Lang laughed, "Yueying is really crazy!"

Huang Yueying smiled and said, "For the sake of the general, I can't do it anymore!" Seeing Zhang Lang looking at him with a strange expression, he immediately realized that there was a grammatical problem with what he said just now, and he couldn't help but turn red, turning his head, not daring to look at Zhang Lang.

Just when the atmosphere was awkward, Yang Kun hurried in, presented a letter, and then retreated. Zhang Lang took out the letter paper, looked at Huang Yueying, and smiled and said, "Yueying's information is obtained! Yuan Shao has indeed sent troops!" Huang Yueying showed a thoughtful look.

Zhang Lang looked at the map and said, "Yuan Shao personally led a army of 200,000 to go south! Haha, there will be a battle between dragons and tigers!"
