Chapter 524: Sun Jian enters the game
Zhang Zhao was shocked when he saw Zhang Lang, who was standing in the upper head, and couldn't help but kneel down and bow: "The Lord is paying homage to the general!" Zhang Lang said: "No need to be polite, get up and talk." Zhang Zhao thanked him, stood up, and said respectfully: "The Lord is going to pay tribute to the general on behalf of my lord!" Zhang Lang smiled slightly, "Mr. Wu Cheng is too polite. Please sit down sir." Zhang Zhao sat down, followed Dong Ying to the left-headed case and sat down. Dong Ying retreated to Zhang Lang.
Zhang Zhao couldn't help but look at Dong Ying wearing armor and holding a sword, and secretly amazement that there was a woman like her own lady in the world!
Zhang Zhao clasped his fists at Zhang Lang and said, "There is a statement to my lord who hopes that the two families will form an alliance to deal with the rebellion of the Cao family. This matter is beneficial to the people of the country in a big way, and to the general and my lord in a small way! For such a matter of family and country, please think carefully about it!"
Zhang Lang smiled, "I originally intended to form an alliance with Wucheng Hou..." He looked at Zhang Zhao, "But isn't Ms. Sun responsible for this matter? Let's go this trip again for Mr. Wucheng Houhui?" Zhang Zhao smiled, "The alliance is not the main purpose of the Xiaguan coming to see the general. The main purpose of the Xiaguan's trip is to talk about the matchmaker." Dong Ying's heart skipped a beat.
Zhang Lang uh, he couldn't help looking at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu nodded with a smile. Zhang Lang asked Zhang Zhao: "Who do you want to match with sir?"
Zhang Zhao smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Of course I am talking to my lady and the general!"
Zhang Lang smiled, "This matter..." Seeing Jia Xu keep winking, he said to Zhang Zhao: "I have no problem here, as long as Miss Sun is willing."
Zhang Zhao was overjoyed, "There will be no problem with Miss!"
Both sides said something more, and Zhang Lang ordered people to take Zhang Zhao to the guesthouse for a while. Zhang Zhao bowed and left, following Zhang Lang's personnel.
Jia Xu smiled and clasped his fists at Zhang Lang and said, "Congratulations to the lord, for congratulating you, for getting such an extraordinary beauty! My subordinates heard that although Miss Sun is a woman, she is very skilled in martial arts, especially at the archer. She is known as the archer's archer. Only the lord can have such a beauty!" Seeing Dong Ying's face feeling unhappy, he hurriedly said, "But no matter how outstanding Sun Ren is, he cannot be compared with the second wife. The second wife is the best female hero in the world!"
Dong Ying snorted, "Now I know how to flatter me, I'll settle the score with you later!" Jia Xu smiled dryly.
Zhang Lang said to Dong Ying with a serious expression: "Yingying, if you don't like Sun Ren, I will refuse this marriage." Then he called out, "Come here!" Wang Yi ran in immediately.
Dong Ying asked anxiously: "What are you doing?"
Zhang Lang said: "Call Zhang Zhao and reject him!"
Dong Ying said angrily: "If you really refuse, will I still have the face to meet people? I have seen Sun Ren, which is really good. Unlike those women who do fancy and nightmare, who only know how to seduce men, since she is deeply in love with you, brother, please accept her. This is also a good story!"
Zhang Lang looked at Dong Ying's expression carefully and asked, "Are you saying true?"
Dong Ying said angrily: "When did I lied to you?"
Zhang Lang smiled and turned around and said to Wang Yi: "It's okay, you go down." Wang Yi shouted and retreated.
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Lord has a virtuous wife like the second wife, it's really a blessing for you!" Dong Ying glared at Jia Xu fiercely.
Zhang Lang said with admiration: "The literature and materials are not bad at all! The purpose of Zhang Zhao's trip is exactly the same as you expected!"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "In fact, the so-called marriage is nothing more than to strengthen the closeness of the alliance. Seeing that Miss Sun was deeply in love with her lord, the other party proposed a marriage with the flow."
Zhang Lang nodded and asked, "How is Sun Jian's sincerity this time compared to before?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "It is impossible for the vassals to have eternal friends. This was the case before and now. Sun Jian wanted to unite with us to divide the Cao family and then fight against us. In the foreseeable time, Sun Jian should not have any other thoughts when the Cao family completely collapsed. But despite this, we must be on guard against Jiangdong." Zhang Lang nodded, "Let Kong Ming and Wen Yuan continue to guard Jingzhou. With the two of them in, Jingzhou will not think that nothing big will happen."
Jia Xu nodded and clasped his fists and said, "Lord, what we have to do now is to rest the troops and raise and grab grain at the same time. Most of Xu Du's reserves have been transported to Luoyang. Although there is a lot of money and grain reserves at present, it is difficult to deal with the subsequent large-scale operations."
Zhang Lang nodded and said to Jia Xu: "You can do this matter, you can do it cheaply." Jia Xu held his fists and agreed.
...
The gentry in Xudu gathered together to drink and relieve their boredom. After a few cups of yellow soup, someone began to curse Cao Pi: "Cao Pi is such a waste, far worse than him! He was defeated by the demon Lu Bu again and again, and now he has trapped us all in the hands of Lu Bu! How can we live our lives in the future??" Another person said worriedly: "I don't know how Lu Bu will deal with us? This guy who does not read the book of the saint and does not follow the teachings of the saints will definitely do many great evil things! By then, the world will be upside down. I wonder who can save us?" Everyone sighed. These people swear and scolded, so as to calm down the panic in their hearts and vent their dissatisfaction.
...
Turn your eyes to Yanzhou.
It has been a while since Cao Pi's army retreated to Yanzhou. Cao Pi is listening to Xun Yu's report on military and political affairs: "... As of now, the states and counties have mobilized a total of 800,000 strong men, and the armed forces have been completed and managed by the county magistrates from all over the country. The chiefs of each prefecture and county have collected more than 8.7 billion yuan in silver and more than 2 million dans of grain and grass, and can be supplied to the lord at any time. In addition, the gentry and clans from all over the country have also donated enthusiastically. The silver and money that has been brought up are more than 2.3 billion yuan and more than 700,000 dan of grain. The chiefs of each prefecture and county have put the money into the warehouse and can be supplied to the lord at any time."
Cao Pi said happily: "Okay! Our strength is indeed extraordinary! If Lu Bu or Sun Jian suffered such a great loss, he would probably collapse. How could he recover in such a short time?" Everyone smiled, and his originally worried heart was relieved a lot at this moment.
A messenger rushed in anxiously and knelt down and reported, "Lord is not good! Sun Jian's water and land army launched an attack from Chaohu and has surrounded Hefei! General Lejin requested support!" Cao Pi and others were surprised. Sima Yi clasped his fists and said, "Cao Ren and Li Dian should be sent immediately to lead 50,000 troops to support Hefei."
