Chapter 1540: The Battle of Xuzhou (137)

For Gao Kui's current situation, Gao Ran can actually not help him much, first of all, he doesn't know much about the specific situation of the battlefield, and secondly, why Houqian has been able to sneak attack repeatedly, just because he is more familiar with the terrain is completely from Gao Kui's letters, and he doesn't know how the specific situation is, so he can not give much advice, more or let him command on the spot, if there is really no too good opportunity, then finally wait for the attack, fortunately, Wen Chou has gone south, and when he arrives, he must send troops to solve the trouble in QingzhouAs long as the reinforcements arrive, no matter how familiar Hou Qian is with the terrain, in the face of absolute strength, he will not be able to make any big waves.

I have to say that the trouble that Houqian gave Liu Lan a headache has now helped him, but if Liu Lan knew that Houqian in history had made Cao Cao miserable, he could not completely suppress him after several exterminations, and finally even transferred Zhang Liao to quell the rebellion, so that Houqian's attack on Donglai and even Qingzhou was completely quelled, and Qingzhou was completely peaceful, it can be seen that this person still has some ability, otherwise he would not have forced Cao Cao to transfer Zhang Liao over.

And how can the current Gao Kui be compared with Zhang Liao, although after winning the money, but with the return of the money to Huangxian, relying on geography, he really played Gao Kui around, and even if it wasn't for Gao Ran to let him stand still, in the next period of time, Hou Qian has begun to think about how to encircle and suppress Gao Kui, which is less than 10,000 Jizhou troops.

For Hou Qian, the combat strength of the Xuzhou army before made him powerless to fight back, so he could only hide, but after hearing that Liu Lan had given up Qingzhou, this gave him more confidence, otherwise he would not have come out again after being defeated by Yan Rou, but who would have thought that when he was breaking all the way, he met the Jizhou army, but after this battle, although he was defeated, he also saw that the advantages of the Jizhou army were not much greater than them, in this case, they were invincible by virtue of the geographical advantages and nature.

However, with Gao Kui holding on, Houqian's plan fell through, but Gao Kui is obviously very satisfied with the current situation, after all, all kinds of sneak attacks and passive beatings, the current situation is excellent, and his current purpose is also very clear, just one idea is to stick to it, and once General Wenchou sends reinforcements, he can besiege and suppress Houqian's gang of bandits.

Gao Kui has no reason not to listen to General Gao Ran's advice, in fact, he has long run out of ideas at this time, no matter what kind of advice Gao Ran gives, he will accept it at this moment, not to mention that Wen Chou has come from the Yellow River South, if he has a great advantage now, then hiding after the money is not conducive to their clearance, like the current situation, it will be extremely easy for reinforcements to arrive, after all, the first thing in Qingzhou to suppress bandits is to completely solve the bandits, not just defeat the bandits.

And when such an order is conveyed, as long as it is said that it is General Gao Ran's plan, there will be little resistance, but if it is his decision, then there will inevitably be many people who oppose it, after all, his military rank is not high, many people in the army are the same as his official position, but he is responsible for this time to suppress bandits, but even if he put forward the idea that this is General Gao Ran, the situation is still not as he thought, many people do not understand, no matter what, they are all officers and soldiers, And the bandits on the other side are just a group of rabble, even if they are more familiar with the geographical advantages, can they compete under their encirclement and suppression?

With a big victory in the first stop, it can be seen that this group of bandits has no combat effectiveness, otherwise how could they enter Qingzhou so smoothly? Therefore, such a retrenchment in defense affects morale too much. There are many people in the army who support these words, but Gao Kui only said one sentence, and he told them to shut up, now our army has a chance of winning against Houqian, and what is a chance of winning after General Wenchou sent reinforcements to fight with Houqian?

No one spoke in an instant, does this still need to be considered? Of course, after the arrival of reinforcements, the odds were greater, and no one had any point in this matter since then, but soon they found that things seemed to be a little different, because Hou Qian didn't care about them in Huangxian at all, and didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack them at all.

This is for sure, Hou Qian can see everything early today, especially after experiencing two defeats with Tai Shi Ci and Yan Rou, he knows what kind of situation his current strength is.

At first, he rose up, and in Donglai County, there were many responders, raised their arms, and responded one after another, but after two failures in a row, everything changed, and his appeal was hit unprecedentedly, no one believed in him anymore, and no one dared to join him, especially during the reign of Yan Rou, severe laws were imposed on the people who dared to join the Houqian rebel forces.

This really played a big role in the order being issued, of course, it also stimulated Hou Qian, in the face of such a strong Yan Rou, Hou Qian really couldn't sit still, and killed it, as a result, this is just Yan Rou's strategy, Hou Qian was defeated, and after that, his forces will have deserters every day, it can be said that Hou Qian was almost about to surrender again, Yan Rou left.

But at this time, Hou Qian wanted to get up, and he still relied on the only men and horses before, because it was difficult for him to recruit soldiers, but as he found the gold mine, everything changed, and he may have been able to rely on his prestige to recruit tens of millions of people before, but now he relied entirely on gold to make the army grow.

So he naturally understood that gold turned out to be the most important, even if he was still defeated by the Jizhou army this time, but as long as he could harvest a lot of gold in this battle, then he would be able to make a comeback in the future, otherwise this battle would defeat the Jizhou army, but what if the Xuzhou army came back?

Winning is naturally the best, but if you lose again, you have to rely on this gold, so you completely ignore the money in Huang County, and just increase the mining of gold.

After three days of stable days, Gao Kui noticed the abnormality, because there were scouts sent every day, and he heard that Houqian's rebels were in full swing every day and didn't know what was being transported, which made him feel a little suspicious, and after this investigation, he found that Huang County actually had such a large gold mine.

No wonder there are so many rebellions in Donglai, the emotional truth is here. Gao Kui couldn't sit still a little now, just sitting back and watching the gold being pulled away by such a carload of money?

The news soon came to Yuan Tan and Gao Ran again, and Yuan Tan didn't even pay attention to the previous paperwork, but this time, his eyes turned completely red.

No wonder Liu Lan ceded Qingzhou, but Huang County didn't let it, and the emotional reason is here. Since Gao Kui left and Wen Chou arrived, he didn't ask about anything every day, although he didn't dare to blatantly have fun, but he would never leave the county guard's mansion, and he listened to singing and dancing in the back office every day, entertaining himself, as for Wen Chou, he didn't dare to get too close to him at this time, after all, his father had seriously warned him, and he didn't want everything to be counted on his head when something happened to Yan Liang.

But this time he couldn't sit still, and there was another situation that this time it was not a battle with Liu Lan, but a fight with bandits, besides, if he passed the news to his father, his father would not be indifferent, but for the sake of insurance, he went to find Wen Chou while retiring his book, and asked him to join forces, the gold of Huangxian County, but he couldn't sit idly by.

But who would have thought that Wen Chou didn't give him a chance to meet at all, when he arrived at the barracks to visit, he learned that Wen Chou had already left and went to Beihai, Yuan Tan had nothing to do about it, he couldn't chase him to Beihai, what should he say when the time comes, let him send troops to suppress the bandits?

So I can only wait patiently for my father's news, but fortunately, the news will come back soon, although I can't be sure how much gold there is in Huangxian County, but the scale must be very huge, otherwise it is impossible to let Gao Kui come back so eagerly, after receiving the order of his father to solve Gao Kui first, Yan Liang directly rode a fast horse and ran to Xi County with his own soldiers.

In fact, Gao Kui passed the book, not only to Yuan Tan, but also to Gao Ran, after Wen Chou arrived in the county, Gao Ran discussed with Wen Chou on this matter, but the differences between the two also broke out at this time, but only focused on the problem, Wen Chou paid more attention to the battle against Xuzhou, after all, whether this battle was to destroy Liu Lan or avenge Yan Liang, he valued it very much, as for the bandits in Qingzhou or those gold, it was insignificant.

But Gao Ran values the stability of Qingzhou more, having a stable rear is the key to the battle of Xuzhou, not to mention that Gao Kui is his general, he doesn't want him to have three long and two short, but the two of them have their own opinions on this matter, so it has been dragged, Wen Chou is unwilling to divide the troops, Gao Ran does not dare to divide the troops to support, and the two of them are consumed like this.

This really played a big role in the order being issued, of course, it also stimulated Hou Qian, in the face of such a strong Yan Rou, Hou Qian really couldn't sit still, and killed it, as a result, this is just Yan Rou's strategy, Hou Qian was defeated, and after that, his forces will have deserters every day, it can be said that Hou Qian was almost about to surrender again, Yan Rou left.
