On the third day after Ding Feng's departure, Zhang Lang set off with a team of 3,000 light cavalry. And Han Juzi and Han Shan took the Black Eagle Guard and the other 2,000 light infantry and then began to follow. Since Yan Ming's death, Han Shan has served as Han Juzi's deputy, managing the work of the Black Eagle Guard together.

went to the front line, Zhang Lang simply suppressed Yang Rong and Zhen Mi, the two beauties. Yang Rong's health has been a little rough recently, and Zhen Mi is obviously not suitable for the current rapid march, so she simply let them stay in Baqiu to recuperate. Tian Feng stayed behind to help Gao Ran. Zhang Ning's skeleton soldiers are now the main borrowed force by Zhang Lang, because this group of men and horses is really weird, and they generally only march at night, so Zhang Lang asked Zhang Ning to order Zhang Kun and Zhang Zhong to start going to the front line the night before. In this way, Zhang Lang only had five available people under him: Zhou Yu, Dian Wei, Huang Xu, Zhao Yu and Zhang Ning.

The road was safe for a few days.

At this time, Zhang Lang marched to an open plain.

Zhang Lang beckoned the guide over and asked, "Where are we now?" ”

The guide said: "General, as long as you turn over the plain in front, you will reach the boundary of Liu Biao in Jingzhou." It is about thirty miles away from here, which is the jurisdiction of Changsha County. ”

Zhang Lang stared at the vast plain in front of him, and his mood was extremely refreshing. Ask the guide: "Are you going to arrive in Pingdu County soon?" ”

The guide didn't dare to slack off and said: "General Hui, this place is nearly a hundred miles away from Pingdushan. ”

Zhang Lang was surprised: "It's so far? ”

"Yes."

Zhang Lang thought for a while and asked, "Are you from Yuzhang?" ”

The guide was an old man in his fifties, and he said respectfully: "The ancestors of the grass people live in Yuzhang County, and due to the Baiyue Rebellion, they have been avoiding Baqiu for more than ten years. ”

Zhang Lang nodded, indicating that he understood, and he didn't ask more.

Then waved off the guide, Zhang Lang turned back to Huang Xu on the side and said, "Ding Feng has any news?" ”

Huang Xulema said respectfully: "Lord, Ding Feng has no news yet. ”

Zhang Lang let out an "oh", with some worry on his face. He quickly dismounted, and while looking around, he ordered: "Camp here today to rest." ”

Huang Xufei dismounted and began to give orders to go down and let the soldiers set up camp.

At night, Zhang Lang couldn't sleep, he always felt restless, he had a stuffy breath blocked in his heart, and there was a burst of trouble in his mind, thinking of this peaceful battle, I don't know if Ding Feng can win it safely? If you can't take it, your whole plan will be broken up. Once the opportunity is lost, the battle will be very difficult to fight. When the time comes, it will still be a problem whether to see Liu Bei or not. There are also their own two flanks, can Luling and Yichun hold on? In particular, the Luling guarded by Quan Cong has few soldiers and generals, and there is no danger to defend, while Changsha guards Zhang Xian's troops are as many as 30,000, and the vanguard is Liu Pan. There is one more worrying thing, that is, I don't know if Huang Zhong is also in their camp. Thinking of this time, Zhang Lang no longer had the heart to lie on the bed, so he casually put on a coat and walked out of the camp. I'm going to go for a walk.

Zhang Lang wandered around the barracks aimlessly.

Suddenly, I felt a distant flute sound floating not far away, the sound was sometimes high and low, sometimes sad, sometimes low. It is like a clear spring flowing through, and it is like a big river rushing, the realm is far-reaching, and it makes people infinitely reverie. Suddenly, the ambition is full of ambition, which makes people's blood soar; Sometimes it is sad and cynical. It hurts people's hearts.

Zhang Lang listened a little fascinated, and secretly thought that he didn't know where the sacredness was, blowing music here in the middle of the night?

Zhang Lang's footsteps unconsciously followed the sound of the piano. There is a small hill in front, under the starry sky, the herbaceous plants are covered with a faint silver ring, and a natural and faint fresh smell wafts through Zhang Lang's nose, and his spirit is lifted.

At this time, a group of soldiers patrolled by, saw Zhang Lang, and saluted in unison.

Zhang Lang asked casually, "Who is playing on the mountain?" ”

The night patrol captain immediately puffed out his chest and said respectfully: "Back to the lord, it was Lord Zhou Yu who played on it." ”

Zhang Lang waved his hand, signaling that he understood, and the team of sentries patrolled away seriously.

Zhang Lang took advantage of the moonlight and slowly climbed up the hillside.

A back, standing proudly under the stars. The color of the sky radiated on him, as if it was like the rocks and trees on the side, harmoniously blending with nature, standing there quietly motionless, Zhang Lang couldn't help but praise in his heart. I really don't want people to interrupt this situation.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Zhou Yu didn't turn around, as if he was still immersed in the artistic conception just now.

Zhang Lang didn't make a sound, and quietly recalled the wonderful sound just now in his mind.

The two of them stood in the moonlight.

After a while, Zhou Yu said lightly: "I'm sorry, I'm disturbing you to rest." ”

Zhang Lang smiled lightly, found a random place to sit down, and said slowly: "It's okay, I can't sleep anyway." ”

Zhou Yu heard that it was Zhang Lang's voice, obviously a little surprised, turned around, but there was no Qin Xiao or anything like Qin Xiao in his hand that Zhang Lang imagined in his heart, maybe because of the night moon, he couldn't see Zhou Yu's expression clearly. Zhang Lang patted the vacant seat next to him and smiled indifferently: "Come and sit together?" Don't worry about anything, just talk to each other as friends. ”

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down.

Zhang Lang had a happy smile on his face, it seemed that Zhou Yu's image of himself had slowly changed. Not as resistant as he was at the beginning, maybe he is not in a very good mood now, and his psychological defense line is the most fragile, maybe he wants to find someone to talk to. looked at the handsome young man sitting next to him, and said softly: "Listening to the music you just played, I feel a little depressed, are you homesick?" Or miss the lover in your heart. ”

Zhou Yu lowered his head lightly and laughed, his face full of bitterness.

Zhang Lang sighed, and didn't really want to speak.

The two of them sat quietly on the stone, each thinking about his own thoughts.

Time flies, and the night gets quieter and quieter.

Zhou Yu was the first to speak out to break the dull situation between the two, "Is there anything bothering the general?" ”

Zhang Lang nodded bitterly, sighed and said, "There are too many things to worry about." ”

Zhou Yu moved his mouth, but finally didn't speak.

Zhang Lang looked up at the starry sky, lying on the rock regardless of his image, and said lazily: "People are a combination of contradictions, on the one hand, they think about how good they can be, they want to have this, they want to have that." But when you really have what you want, you can't get out of it, and what you lose is your whole freedom. Many times, you can no longer do whatever you want, you have to worry about this and worry about that. Ay. ”

Zhou Yu was also touched, and his face was confused.

Zhang Lang sighed: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help it." ”

Zhou Yu also aroused curiosity for Zhang Lang's exclamation, according to his current strength, although he is not in power, he is proud of the world. But in Jiangdong, it is still possible to turn your hands into clouds and cover your hands for rain. Stomping feet, the characters who shook the world, what else can't help it. couldn't help but be surprised: "The general is high and powerful, how can you say this?" ”

Zhang Lang laughed at himself: "High power? That's not even climbing up on the corpses of tens of thousands of people. What is there to be happy about. ”

Zhou Yu was stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Lang to say such sharp words. I can see that Zhang Lang really has something unpleasant today, otherwise how could he be so out of shape? Zhou Yu wanted to ask Zhang Lang, but he always felt an inexplicable struggle in his heart. I feel that as long as I open this mouth, it will be like embarking on a road of no return, and there will be no turning back.

Zhang Lang didn't know the change in Zhou Yu's mood at all, and suddenly stared at what Zhou Yu was playing with with both hands. It was a thin green leaf. In the moonlight, it shines with a beautiful color. I was very curious: "Zhou Yu, you just used this tune to play?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Zhang Lang couldn't help but praise: "Sure enough, your piano skills have reached the point of reaching the peak, and you can send and receive them from your heart." A small leaf can blow such a beautiful music, and I am afraid that there will be few people in the world. ”

Zhou Yu muttered, "What's the use of this? ”

Zhang Lang obviously didn't hear what he said, and said to himself: "People, everyone has a special side that is not known, but some people show it, and some people haven't dug it out yet." ”

Zhou Yu gathered his ears and wanted to know what else Zhang Lang had to say.

Zhang Lang continued: "No matter how successful he is, in the eyes of others, he is a person who is unbeatable, but in his heart, the backlog of duels is the heaviness and pressure, responsibility and obligation, or worry and fear, gain and loss. ”

Zhou Yu was shocked, and looked at Zhang Lang from another perspective for the first time, looking at this person with infinite scenery, could it be that on the surface of his scenery, there were too many troubles and worries in his heart?

Zhou Yu said tentatively: "Aren't there many capable people under the general?" Can you try to share the burden with them? ”

When Zhang Lang heard this, a sincere smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Yes, if it weren't for Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Tian Feng, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, etc., maybe Zhang Lang would have been buried in another country, let alone his current achievements." ”

Zhou Yu thought about it, and finally won over reason, and asked, "In that case, what is the general bothering now?" ”

Zhang Lang blurted out without thinking about it: "Ding Feng went to Pingdu, Quan Rui took Luling, to be honest, I was really worried." ”

Zhou Yu fought fiercely in his heart, and before he could finish, he sighed secretly. Said slowly: "Ding Feng is not a martial artist, he has the wisdom of a general, he is going to Pingdu, and he is unprepared to attack it, as long as he can use some strategies, and the enemy's reinforcements are not a big problem to take it down." It's just that Changsha Taishou Zhang Xian attacked the Luling guarded by Quanrui, which was a bit mysterious. But it's not like there's nothing you can do. ”

Zhang Lang was overjoyed and said: "I'm worried about this matter, what is the best plan for the public?" ”

Zhou Yu was very excited when he saw Zhang Lang, and he was not happy in his heart, and subtly, he slowly accepted Zhang Lang. He said: "Does the general know who Zhang Xian is the Taishou of Changsha?" ”

Zhang Lang patted his head, trying to think of the introduction of history, but he couldn't think of anything for a while. I had to ask anxiously: "Gongjin, just say it, don't hang my appetite." ”

Zhou Yu said: "Zhang Xian, a native of Nanyang. Successively as Lingling, Guiyang Taishou, even Jiang, Hunan heart, but the surname Qu Qiang is not smooth, Liu Biao is a thin person, not very polite. Zhang Xian held a grudge because of this. Previously, the Changsha District Star Incident, Lingling, Guiyang Zhou Dynasty and others responded. Zhang Xian was promoted from the mayor of Lingling and Guiyang to the Taishou of Changsha, and he had already led his troops to rebel, and Lingling, Guiyang and other counties would also respond. In Jingnan counties, Changsha Zhang Xianshi is the "head of the horse".

Zhang Lang suddenly had a feeling of understanding, and said tentatively: "What do you mean?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled faintly and said: "Actually, Liu Biao sent Liu Bei to attack Yuzhang this time, and there were two goals in it. The first is to hope to recapture Jiangxia, and the second is to pacify Changsha. ”

Zhang Lang thought hard: "It seems that Liu Biao entered Yuzhang, but I am afraid that it is an excuse to drive Zhang Xian out of Changsha, let Liu Bei clean it up, and pull out some of their minions." ”

Zhou Yu nodded: "Yes, maybe when Zhang Xian returns to Changsha, that is, when he dies in Huangquan." ”

Zhang Lang suddenly remembered "Book of Wei #8226; Huan Jiechuan "Shangyun:" Taizu and Yuan Shao refused to go to Guandu, (Liu) raised the state to respond to Shao. The order said that it (Changsha) was too guarded by Zhang Xian to raise Changsha and the three counties next to it to refuse the table, and sent an envoy to Taizu. Taizu Dayue. Huishao fought with Taizu Lian, and the army did not reach the south. In that year, Zhang Xian died of illness, and Changsha reinstated his son as Taishou. Liu Biao attacked, trapped Changsha, then collected zero and Gui in the south, and according to Hanchuan in the north, thousands of miles away, with more than 100,000 armor. There are also thousands of returnees from Kansai, Yan and Yu, and they all have all been funded. Thinking of this time, Zhang Lang had a deeper understanding of the Yuzhang war, and said excitedly: "What is the wisdom of the public?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "It's very simple, since Changsha Zhang Xian has a heart of betrayal, the general is sowing discord among them, anyway, Liu Biao doesn't like this person." Liu Bei sent troops to Xiangxi and drove Zhang Xian out of Changsha, but I am afraid that he also has this intention. I hope to borrow the general's hand to kill Zhang Xian, I guess Liu Bei is such an abacus. ”

Zhang Lang said with a smile: "It's really wonderful, but I'm not as good as he wants, I have to make a rumor, and then I will see if Liu Bei can rest assured that he can attack Luling." When he thought of being proud, Zhang Lang couldn't help laughing out loud.

Of course, Zhou Yu understood what Zhang Lang meant, and interjected on the side: "It's best to let Zhang Xian eat some sweetness, Liu Bei wants to transfer him back, but he is reluctant to come back." It's really a show. ”

Zhang Lang glared at Zhou Yu, and the two laughed at the same time.
