The official who was imprisoned was named Tong Lin, the Censor of Xiliang who was Zhang Langfeng, was responsible for inspecting the government affairs of Xiliang. Cai Yong's student was very talented. However, he was not expected to be taken back to Chang'an in just a few months for cases such as corruption and abuse of power for personal gain.

Tong Lin smiled bitterly and said, "The evidence they gave me is as irrefutable as proof, and my subordinates have nothing to say."

Zhang Lang looked at his eyes and was speechless for a while, "Who are you 'they'?"

Tong Lin glanced at Zhang Lang, "The governor of Xiliang, Han and Ma two great gentry."

...

Zhang Lang looked at the urgent military reports he had just received and looked thoughtful. Sun Jian started the fierce attack of the Jiangdong army to Xiangyang, which kicked off the new year's battle for hegemony. Zhang Lang was thinking about his own strategy. Although several strategists had reached a consensus that he would not be in a hurry to compete for hegemony with the princes of the Central Plains this year, but instead stabilized the Western Regions to control the trade route first, Zhang Lang did not want to be a spectator this year, or could attack a certain direction.

Zhang Lang put down the military newspaper, stood up and walked to the map, his eyes wandering on the map.

Two days later, new military information came, and Cao Cao personally led a 200,000 army to attack Jizhou. The battle between Cao and Yuan left the curtain. This situation was somewhat beyond the expectations of Zhang Lang and the counselors.

"Will Cao Cao give us a chance when he does this?" Zhuge Liang frowned.

Jia Xu pointed to Luoyang, "The defense in Luoyang has been weakened a lot due to Cao Cao's attack! If we all set up a large army, it is possible to capture Luoyang!"

Huang Yueying frowned and said, "There are still 300,000 troops in Luoyang, and the city of Luoyang is high and the river is wide. It is more difficult to conquer it than climbing the sky! I am afraid that it will be more worth the loss in the end!"

Jia Xu said: "There is no one who does not take risks in any war! There will never be such opportunities nowadays. I think you can take a chance!"

Zhuge Liang pondered silently.

Zhang Lang stared at Luoyang for a moment and said firmly: "You must not lose your opportunity and never come again! Immediately, ordering Long Tao Army, Leopard Tao Army, Eagle Yang Army, Canglang Army, War Bear Army, and five corpses to gather in Chang'an! The civilians are summoned from all over the country to transport food, grass and supplies!" He narrowed his eyes, "This time I will fight for his own good luck!"

Zhang Lang's order was issued, and the troops began to mobilize; at the same time, Zhang Lang asked Zhuge Liang to return to Nanyang, one was responsible for Nanyang's defense, and the other was waiting for an opportunity to cooperate from the flanks.

As soon as he rode a fast horse and entered Luoyang, passers-by could feel an anxious feeling rushing past him.

Yuan Shao read the urgent military report he had just sent, his expression changed, and he cursed angrily: "What a Lu Bu, I actually want to take this opportunity to use troops against me!" The civil servants and generals below looked at each other, and Xu You clasped his fists and said: "Lord, what happened?" Yuan Shao shook the letter paper in his hand, "Our detailed work has sent a report, saying that Lu Bu is mobilizing the army and food and preparing to launch an attack on Luoyang!"

Everyone was talking, and some people looked very worried.

Yuan Shao glanced at everyone, "Everyone, how should we deal with the current situation?"

Xu You clasped his fists and said, "Actually, there is no need to worry. With the strength of our millions of soldiers, we can deal with Lu Bu and Cao Cao at the same time." Shen Peibao responded and said, "What Ziyuan said is extremely true! Our army can be a fortress in Luoyang and consume Lu Bu heavily. At the same time, the lord went east with the main force to fight Cao Cao, strive for a quick battle, and then turn around to eliminate Lu Bu! If it succeeds, the world will be determined!"

Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel excited, "What the two gentlemen said is exactly what I want!"

Tian Feng came out and said, "Lord, although this strategy is feasible, it is not comprehensive enough! My subordinates think that other measures should be taken at the same time! Now that Sun Jian from Jiangdong is quite strong, it is better to join forces with him and threaten Cao Cao's rear to ease the pressure on our army!"

Yuan Shao nodded, "Okay!" Then he ordered Xu You to draft an order: order Guo Tu to be an envoy to Changsha to form an alliance with Sun Jian, Xu You and Gao Lan and Zhang He guarded Luoyang, and ordered troops from all over the country to gather in Jizhou and fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao.

Tian Feng suggested: "Lord, please make Hongnong's defenders abandon Hongnong and cross the Yellow River north to strengthen the garrison of Shouyang Mountain."

Xu You said angrily: "Before the enemy arrived, our army fled by itself, which is definitely not a good thing for our army's morale!" He clasped his fists at Yuan Shao: "Lord, my subordinates thought that not only should the Hongnong defenders retreat north, but they should be ordered to support Hangu Pass and defend to the death! Let the 30,000 troops use Hangu Pass to consume Lu Bu's troops as much as possible!"

Tian Feng said anxiously: "Lord, if you do what Xu You said, I'm afraid you won't be able to protect Shouyang Mountain! If Shouyang Mountain is not protected, Lu Bu can bypass Hangu Pass to attack Luoyang! Lord think twice!"

Xu You sneered: "Serious words!"

Yuan Shao only felt one first and two major players, and the committee could not stop. After hesitating for a long time, he actually said, "What the two gentlemen said makes sense. Let me think about this matter again!"

...

In the thick fog in the early morning, a large army was building a floating bridge on the river surface of Puban. The Yuan Shao defenders in the opposite camp heard the constant knocking sounds coming from the river surface, and were surprised and puzzled, but the thick fog on the river surface was stained and they could not see clearly. The sun gradually rose, and the thick fog on the river surface gradually dispersed. Yuan Shao's army suddenly saw three floating bridges appearing on the river surface. Yuan Shao's guard general Qu Yi was shocked and hurriedly led five thousand infantry and cavalry out of the camp, preparing to destroy the floating bridge.

Rumble! The sound of horse hooves came from the opposite side. The two thousand armoured cavalry of Lu Bu's army first crossed the floating bridge, and Zhang Lang himself was the leader.

Yuan Shao's army was eager to destroy the floating bridge and launched an attack first. Five thousand infantry and cavalry rushed towards Zhang Lang's two thousand armored cavalry. Zhang Lang tied the war horses, smiled coldly, and raised the Fang Tian Painted Hydro. Two thousand armored cavalry put down the flat horse spear, ready to go.

Seeing the enemy approaching, Fang Tian Huajing suddenly waved forward! Two thousand armored iron cavalry shouted and broke out! Two thousand armored iron cavalry stepped on the trembling earth and rushed towards the five thousand Yuan Shao's infantry cavalry! In a blink of an eye, the two sides collided heavily, and the armored iron cavalry rushed into the middle of the enemy, causing a bloody rain! Weapons kept falling on the iron cavalry, but only sparked a little spark. This situation shocked the soldiers of Yuan Shao's army!

After the charge was over, Yuan Shao's army was already in a mess! Two thousand iron armored cavalry turned their heads and charged again! The surging iron hooves and terrifying shouts made Yuan Shao's army break and unable to do so!

Before the iron armored war cavalry arrived, Yuan Shao's army collapsed, and the infantry and cavalry rushed to the camp in a hurry! The cavalry was hugged in front, and the infantry fell behind!
