"I think I already know what you mean, but with our current strength, even if we have a chance of defeating Liu Lan of Lu County with Gao Lan, what is the chance? And if we can be sure that Wen Chou is fishing in troubled waters, then how strong is Gao Ranxiang's desire to defeat Liu Lan? ”

"Cao Gong's worries must have some reason, but at least Gao Ran and Wen Chou are a little different, he really wants to make some achievements, otherwise he will not be able to tear his face with Wen Chou and fight with us, just on this point, it can be determined that he is trustworthy, and fighting with us also has great benefits for him, just like now, because Gao Ran did not choose to return to Kaesong but came to Xuzhou, although he was reprimanded by Yuan Shao, but according to the information that Guo Jia has, More is still dissatisfied with Pengcheng for not grabbing Xuzhou first.

Of course, after Yuan Shao heard the news that Li Dian and Xiahou Yuan lost tens of thousands of people to take Xuzhou City, his opinion of him changed, plus Wen Chou was trapped in Langya by Liu Lan, it can be said that Yuan Shao has affirmed Gao Lan's previous choice, in this way, after getting Yuan Shao's verbal promise and even some benefits, Gao Lan, there is no reason not to continue to cooperate with us to fight against Liu Lan, just because Liu Lan Chen Bing Lu County, not only us, but also Gao Lan himself is a little difficult to make a choice.

So at this time, we must first let him strengthen his faith, only in this way can we work together, I think he will be willing to defeat Liu Lan with us, instead of assisting Wen Chou to defeat Liu Lan with us, I think he will understand this truth, what do you say, lord? ”

Cao Cao nodded, but looked at Xiahoudun and said: "You are right, Gao Lan's situation, you know, I know that Yuan Rang knows even more, he originally came to Xuzhou with a guilty body, and he urgently needs to prove himself, the battle of Xuzhou is his only chance, he urgently needs to prove himself in this battle, and now he has been rewarded by Yuan Shao for his courage to come to Xuzhou, so he will continue, until he defeats Liu Lan, he will go all out to fight with our army, which is not only about the Xuzhou battlefield, but also closely related to his personal honor and disgrace, I think he is not only thinking about how to defeat Liu Lan on the battlefield in Xuzhou now, but also thinking about being able to rescue Wen Chou while defeating Liu Lan. ”

"The lord even said that if you want to defeat our enemies, sometimes we must first let ourselves be able to work together, otherwise how can we defeat the ironclad Liu Lan?" Guo Jia carefully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both of them, Liu Lan's advantage is that he can order one person, and Xuzhou can work together to fight the enemy, and the reason for the defeat in the first two battles of Xuzhou is that the troops are scattered, the command is chaotic, and even each has a ghost, which is very similar to the battle against Dong back then, in this case, why defeat Liu Lan? If it really wins, then God will not be long-sighted.

And it was after the end of the first two failed experiences that they reached an agreement when they sent troops to the Yuan Shu coalition army, which almost made them successful, and now the situation is somewhat similar to before, so it is essential to reach a tacit understanding with Gao Ran, of course, it is still easy to convince Gao Ran, he can cooperate with Xiahou Dun, then he will definitely be willing to fight under his own command, of course, what Cao Cao has to do is actually very simple, that is, to ensure his face and lining, because he knows his opponent Yuan Shao too well, If he knew that this battle was under his command and Gao Ran was only cooperating with the battle, even if he made a splashing contribution, he would be punished in the end.

This is Yuan Shao, so there are some things, on the surface, he will make concessions, but when he formulates a battle plan and sends troops to fight, he needs unconditional obedience, which is the key to everyone's cooperation, and this matter will be left to Fengxiao to do.

"Don't worry, the lord is completely sure."

"You must not regard Gao Ran as an incompetent, he will soon be the leading general in Jizhou, even if he looks at the world, he can also rank among the top ten." These words are Xiahoudun's evaluation of him, which is very high, although the world's recognized ranking is now based on the martial arts list, but there is a scale in the hearts of individuals, and it is different who can enter and who cannot.

"Don't worry, the chief officer, I have a deep understanding of him, when he was in Jizhou, he knew something about him, not only his temperament, but also his preferences, this person is more fond of soldiers Yin and Yang, and his divination and astrology are under Cui Juye, and then because Cui Juye died on the battlefield, he in order to avenge him, and Zhang Jaw turned against him, which was indirectly equivalent to pushing Zhang Jaw to Liu Lan, at that time I felt that this was a counter-plan, but at that time, Jia was humble and light, no one paid attention to it, and now with the growth of experience, Gao Ran has regretted his intestines.

"And such a thing?" It seems that Xiahoudun, who fought side by side with Gao Ran, really has a limited knowledge of his affairs, and he can't help but be a little interested in hearing some of his old things, and with his character, he may be willing to listen to this interesting story about Gao Ran, who can have a temperament, if it is someone else, he is not very interested.

The friendship between him and Gao Ran is difficult to say, it is the kind of love that falls in love one by one, and he sometimes even feels that he and Gao Ran have known each other for many years, as if they had known each other in their previous lives.

This is a very special feeling, two people who don't know each other, or two people who have only met and have not crossed paths before, suddenly fight side by side together, only to find that they cooperate seamlessly, as if they are comrades who have fought together for many years, and that tacit understanding seems to be innate.

You only know me, I know you, you can understand the deep meaning of the other party with one look, and you know how to do it, in this case, even in Cao Ying, there are few generals who cooperate with him so well, otherwise Cao Cao would not let Xiahoudun command all the way and lead the Shanyang people to fight.

"In that case, after we solve our worries, we must think clearly about what to do next."

"The current situation is a stalemate, Liu Lan stays in Lu County, and the reason why Guan Yu is dragged in Kaecheng is the same, if no one can take the lead in breaking such a stalemate, then such a confrontation may drag on, a month, two months or even longer."

~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a fruitless journey, Tian Yu came to Youzhou with great ambition, there are some things he must do, as if to repay Gongsun Chan for his kindness, just like what he said to him before Gongsun Xu arrived in Liaodong safely, he will avenge Gongsun Chan.

Just a few words, but this young man remembered it in his heart, because this was a promise, a promise, all he had to do was Ji Bu.

Today's Tian Yu may be a little different from history, because of Liu Lan's appearance, because of Liu Lan's subtle influence on him, and of course, the most important point is that Tian Yu's family was brought to Xuzhou by Liu Lan early in the morning.

What Liu Bei didn't do in history, he did, and this is the key reason why Tian Yu was able to work for him with peace of mind.

But on this trip, not only did he fail to get the important task of recovering Youzhou, but he also returned empty-handed, which was the most unwilling for him, especially when he was persuaded to retire by others, what is this, was he scared away?

"I think I already know what you mean, but with our current strength, even if we have a chance of defeating Liu Lan of Lu County with Gao Lan, what is the chance? And if we can be sure that Wen Chou is fishing in troubled waters, then how strong is Gao Ranxiang's desire to defeat Liu Lan? ”
