Chapter 61

The cold wind blew, and heavy snow filled the air in Taiyuan, piercing through the armor of the soldiers like a knife blade into their bodies.

In the big camp a hundred miles outside Taiyuan City, two middle-aged men stood in the heavy snow that was raging at will.

"Feng Xiao, this heavy snow should not have happened." Zhang Lan looked into the distance. It has been five months since he came to Taiyuan. Since Ding Yuan returned to the city before he broke through the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation, Zhang Lan's army naturally continued to move forward. When they arrived in Taiyuan, they only attacked each other for a few symbolic rounds on the way. Ding Yuan was afraid of being attacked by Yuan Shao after his defeat, and Zhang Lan was also afraid of losing his troops, so Yuan Shao came.

After spending half a year, the first snow in 196 finally fell. Although it came later than before, it still made Zhang Lan unable to do it. Once again, he had the idea of ​​retreating, but the first few days Ri just received the news that Yuan Shao had breached Leping, and stayed in Taiyuan temporarily, waiting for Yuan Shao's arrival. Who would have thought that since Yuan Shao did not go straight to Taiyuan, but left some of the defenders behind, the army withdrew back.

"My lord, it's useless to stay for a long time, this snow is so beautiful"

"Yes, it is covered in silver, and the country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to bow down."

Guo Jia was stunned, he seemed to be infected by Zhang Lan's words, and said lightly, "We will come back again, won't we, the next time I want to come to Bingzhou, it will no longer be Ding Yuan's territory."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Zhang Lan turned around and walked towards the big tent, and said lightly, "Let's leave."

In the winter of 196, due to the heavy snowfall, Zhang Lan, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, had no hope of attacking Taiyuan, so he led the army back to Shangdang. Because of Zhang Lansi's eagerness, he led the Langya special forces back to Luoyang alone, and the rest of the army was raised in Shangdang. Store up your energy, and wait until the spring of the next year to crusade again.

At this time, Luoyang City was already covered in silver, and the heavy snow covered the whole Luoyang with a layer of crystal clothes.

"Cicada, let me hug our little princess"

Zhang Lan took Xiao Chenxi from Diao Chan's hand, and Xiao Chenxi, who was held in Zhang Lan's arms, giggled and made a "ba, ba" sound.

He was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that it was his daughter calling her father. In an instant, Zhang Lan felt excited.

Zhang Lan is Dong Yu who used to call her father and mother, and said it was the dialect of her hometown. Dong Yu often said to Chen Xi when Zhang Lan was away on an expedition, "Dad went out to beat bad people. Wait for Dad to beat the bad guys." The bad guys will come back to accompany Chen Xi, Dad is a great hero"

Therefore, Chenxi has already learned the name of father in seven months. Although it is not standard, it is undoubtedly the sound of nature in Zhang Lan's ears.

"Hahahaha, my daughter can call her daddy now, my daughter can call her daddy now, hahahaha" Zhang Lan's hearty laughter echoed throughout the room.

Dong Yu and Diao Chan are also very pleased, but Diao Chan's heart is more complicated, not only comfort, but also envy and sorrow.

The atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious, that is, in this harmonious atmosphere, a voice that seemed a little out of place came from "Prime Minister, King Chen Liu begs to see you"

Zhang Lan froze for a moment, handed Princess Xi in her arms to Diao Chan, and said to Dian Wei who came to report, "Take him to the lobby, I'll go right away"

Dian Wei went away as soon as he cupped his hands, Zhang Lan turned around, kissed Chen Xi's pink face lightly, and kissed Diao Chan's and Dong Yu's face respectively, which made the two women's faces pale. Hong, only the little princess in Diao Chan's arms kept giggling.

Seeing the performance of the three women, Zhang Lan smiled knowingly, turned and went to the lobby.

When he came to the lobby, Chen Liuwang was already sitting on his seat. When he saw Zhang Lan coming, he got up quickly and said, "Students have seen Mr.

Zhang Lan hurriedly returned the gift, "King Chen Liu is being polite, I don't know what is the matter of King Chen Liu coming here today?"

Although he heard what Liu Xie called him, he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, he did teach him.

"I received the news that my husband is back, so I rushed over to say hello to him"

Hearing Liu Xie's words, Zhang Lan had a strange feeling in her heart. This Chen Liu Wang Liu Xie was really too smart, even a bit too smart.

"I'm sorry to trouble King Chen Liu. How is Your Majesty doing recently? I was supposed to go to pay homage, but I miss my daughter so much, so I went home first, so that King Chen Liu would laugh at me."

Liu Xie obviously didn't care whether Zhang Lan was yearning for her daughter or not, all he cared about was his and Liu Bian's status in Zhang Lan's heart.

He went to see him in person, but Zhang Lan was thinking about Liu Bian, which made Liu Xie feel very uncomfortable.

"Emperor brother is all well, but sir, it must be very hard to go abroad. I greet sir on behalf of emperor brother. You must take care of your health. The big man has to rely on you."

Zhang Lan has guard against theft in her heart, even if she doesn't, she won't be praised by Liu Xie's words.

"Your Majesty is serious. The entire army is entrusted with the blessings of the Son of Heaven. I am just one of them."

Seeing that he was not treated by Zhang Lan, Liu Xie felt a little unhappy, but still respectfully said to Zhang Lan, "I am relieved to see that Mr. is okay, and I will go back first if I don't bother you anymore."

"I send the prince off"

"No need, sir, rest well"

Zhang Lan was also polite, "That's fine, come on, let's send King Chen Liu off"

Liu Xie was a little stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Lan to be so straightforward, and his dissatisfaction became even stronger.

He smiled slightly at Zhang Lan, and left with his arms folded.

After Liu Xie returned to the bedroom, dissatisfaction burst out in his heart.

"Zhang Lan is too deceitful!"

"Silence, my son." An old woman walked out of the door, but it was Liu Xie's grandmother, Empress Dowager Dong.

"Grandmother" Liu Xie saw that it was his grandmother who came, so he calmed down and saluted Empress Dowager Dong.

"Why is my grandson like this? Everyone in the world is very human, not to mention Zhang Lan who is in the prime minister. How can he make a difference if he gives up like this?" The maid and attendant of the Empress Dowager stepped back and continued to say, "Although Zhang Lan Arrogant, but he is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command. This one person is better than a hundred people, why should Xie'er be anxious?"

"Grandmother, it's just that he was on guard against me, but he cared for the emperor brother, what should I do?"

Empress Dong smiled slightly, "Silly boy, that Zhang Lan and Liu Bian have known each other for a long time, and now Liu Bian is the emperor and Zhang Lan's minister, even if his heart is biased towards you, he will not show it. Are you afraid that Zhang Lan won't change his mind?"

Liu Xie's eyeballs moved quickly, and a ray of light appeared from time to time. He was smart and naturally understood what Empress Dowager Dong meant.

"Thank you grandma for your enlightenment. My grandson is going to see the emperor's uncle, so I won't accompany my mother."

"Go, come back early." Empress Dowager Dong showed a smile on her face, but there was also a trace of worry in the smile. Liu Xie and Liu Bian are both his grandchildren, with fleshy palms and backs. They have been in this deep palace for many years , How could she not know what Liu Xie was thinking.

The emperor Liu Xie mentioned was none other than Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. Although Liu Xie didn't know the ability of this emperor uncle, but from the point of view of Xuzhou Tao Qian's desire to abdicate with him, it would be no different. He must not give up Such a boost.
