Chapter 490: Jizhou Strategy (32)

After Wei Yan learned that it was Gao Ran who came, he specially arranged these means for him. In Wei Yan's opinion, it is better to kill a thousand people than to kill one Gao Lan. As soon as Gao Ran dies, the army that comes to help will disperse. Otherwise, if your army is tired and in the enemy's territory, and the enemy army in the city surrenders, if you fight a stalemate with Gao Ran, the situation will be very unfavorable to you.

In the dark, Gao Ran couldn't help but feel a palpitation. Under the traction of the qi machine, he looked up, only to see a cloud of arrows breaking through the air, he shouted, shook the big gun in his hand, and immediately burst out of the clear light, protecting the body to the drip, the arrows reached the place where his gun shadow was shrouded, and they were shocked to the ground.

At this moment, more than a dozen spear shadows and lightning came. Gao Ran was concentrating on dealing with the rain of arrows that kept flying, and he didn't notice it for a while, but he didn't have time to dodge. Several flew away, while others dodged him and shot into the body of his mount. The horse was hit by the spear, but it was painful, and with a neighing cry, the man stood up, and at the same time fell down, but he also took off the horse by surprise. Since Gao Ran has fallen off the horse, he can no longer stop it. He rolled on the ground and was about to avoid it, but he saw the arrow and the spear coming after him as if they had eyes.

Gao Ran snorted, and the flying spear first pierced his chest, and then a rain of arrows pounced, only to see that the arrows were like thatch, firmly covering Gao Ran underneath. Hebei Siting Pillar, in front of Quzhou City, another one was damaged.

Gao Ran was dead, and the rest of the people were in an uproar and fled in all directions. At this moment, only a loud shout was heard, and Satsuma led the army to pounce out in the west of the city, looking at the trilogy, there was no desire to fight, and those who could escape ran wildly, and those who could not escape fell to the ground and asked to surrender.

Wei Yan and Sha Mo collected the soldiers, and after cleaning up the battlefield, they couldn't help but be silent for a while. A few people from the ancient war are still alive. In this troubled era, it is the great fortune and misfortune of their warriors. If you can meet the master, you don't need to say much about your achievements. If you meet Yuan Shao like this, no matter how great your ability is, I am afraid that you will not be able to avoid the fate of early defeat. Such as the Yan Liang, the Wen Chou and the high view in front of him, it is a great reputation in this northern land. Wei Yanjiu heard the name of him and others, and also personally fought with him. Naturally, he knows that purely in terms of martial arts, these people's art industry is not below him. Now it's a pity that they are falling one by one. Wei Yan instructed left and right, and said: "General Gao died loyally, and he was buried well!" ”

The general at the head of the city, seeing the surging Gao Lan, even if he was defeated by the hands of the Qingzhou army, he was frightened in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it at all. Wei Yan saw that this person had become well-behaved, and said in his heart, I have seen the thunder methods of our army, but I am not afraid that you will come to make ghosts. In this war, he was really tired, so he gave a few orders, and then led the army to rest. Shamor and he were still outside the city, but the city was still guarded by the general.

On the second day, Wei Yan said to Sha Mo: "Yuan Shao's grain and grass were Fan, and Gao Ran was defeated here. If they hear this letter, their army will be in disarray. At that time, it will not be able to withstand the army of the lord. But it was our opportunity to come. I intend to set up an ambush behind Guangzong, and if I meet Yuan Shao, I can raise troops to capture him. In his hectic chaos, he must not have thought that we would set up an ambush to win him. I don't know what General Sha wants? ”

Wei Yan has always been bold in his use of soldiers. Historically, he has repeatedly asked generals to surprise the Meridian Valley. Zhuge Liang was cautious all his life, and felt that this plan was too dangerous and did not agree. Surprise attack on Meridian Valley, success or failure is hard to say. However, the battlefield is unpredictable, and whoever uses troops can guarantee victory in a hundred battles and be foolproof. With just this strategy, you can see Wei Yan's style of using soldiers.

Originally, Liu Bei's order was to let Wei Yan and Sha Moqi attack Qu Zhou to burn Yuan's army's grain and grass. Since he has succeeded, he naturally has to return to the camp to resume his life. However, Wei Yan took Qu Zhou first, and then defeated Gao Lan, but Sha Mo admired it. So as soon as Wei Yan said that he would use ambush soldiers to capture Yuan Shao, Sha Mo's eyes suddenly lit up and his heart moved.

It's just that Sha Mo is a general of Liu Bei's army, and he still has concerns in his heart: "After this battle, we should return to the camp." Without the permission of the lord, he used troops without authorization, I wonder if the lord is surprised? ”

When Wei Yan heard this, he said: "The general is outside, and the king's order is not affected." I should send someone to report the situation of the lord here, and then raise my troops to wait for the enemy to come. General Sha, if you and I can capture Yuan Shao in this battle, we will be the head of all the generals in terms of merit! ”

Just this sentence instantly moved Shamo. What can be compared between generals? In addition to seeing whose fist is bigger, it is natural to see whose credit is bigger. If Yuan Shao can be captured, the generals under the command of the lord can only be compared with Guan Yunchang, who swept away Yuan Shu.

Thinking of Wei Yan, every time he says, he will gain something. As soon as he thought of this, Sha Mo patted his chest and said, "I will act according to Wen Chang's words." But the lord is to blame, and Sha is responsible! ”

Wei Yan's heart was relieved, and Lang smiled: "How can it be so, if the lord is to blame, you and I will accept the guilt together!" ”

Talking and laughing, he abandoned Qu Zhou, added the surrendered army to his own army, and sent several scouts back to the camp to report the victory, so he led the army, under the guidance of the surrendering army, day and night, and slowly forced towards Naguangzong.

Here Liu Bei received Wei Yan's report, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he summoned the generals to discuss the matter, and he smiled and said to the generals: "Wen Chang and Sha Mo have attacked Quzhou, burned the granary, and set up an ambush in the city to break Gao Ran's reinforcements, and Gao Ran also died in this battle!" Gentlemen, the two generals have made meritorious contributions, Yuan Jun is trusted, and the army's heart must be shaken, and next, it will be up to you to wait for your ability! ”

When the generals heard this, their chests were churning with blood and qi, and they just wanted to go out now and have a big fight with the Yuan army. All the way to the division has made this miraculous feat, if they can't break through the camp of the Yuan army, wouldn't it become a joke?

Liu Bei saw that the generals were full of vigor, and thought that he had stimulated you enough. Let you go down and stimulate the corporals again. Tomorrow, I will take Yuan Shao to operate.

In the camp of the Yuan army and the big tent of Yuan Shao, the faces of everyone who received the news were gloomy and miserable. Unexpectedly, when Liu Bei fought with his own army here, he actually sent another army to Qu Zhou after attacking his own army's camp. Not only did the grain burn in the First World War, but the general Gao Ran also died in battle. It couldn't be worse news.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind. But how is this good? Yuan Shao was in a frustrated mood, but he didn't even want to say anything about asking for advice. The food and grass are gone, what are you left here for? But if it retreats, this Jizhou will definitely shake, and then in addition to shrinking in Wei County, will the counties in northern Hebei and central Hebei still have their own?

Thinking back then, he was full of spirit, forcing Han Fu to let Jizhou, and then attacking the Montenegrin Army in the west and Gongsun Zan in the north. Dingding, this Ji, and the two states have a good foundation. But it's only been a few years since this comfort, why did it become like this in the blink of an eye?

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu glanced at each other, Fu Zhu was the key object of Yuan Shao's suspicion, and he was speechless. So Tian Feng stood up and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, now that Liu Bei is unstoppable, our army might as well retreat first, retain strength, and wait for the future." ”

Yuan Shao sighed: "The matter has come to this, what is the future!" ”

Tian Feng said loudly: "The lord doesn't have to be like this! Liu Bei was newly annexed to the state, but the state was full of heroes, and there were many Hu tribes, so he might not be able to be stable. If we wait to lure the Hu people to attack Youzhou with money, Liu Bei will be difficult to take care of, and he will definitely have no time to deal with me. The lord returned to Yecheng to reorganize the army, and then sent envoys to Guanzhong, Cao, Sun and other places to say that it was powerful. If you can form a combination of vertical and longitudinal trends, you may not be able to defeat that Liu Bei! ”
