Cheng Yuanzhi led the troops to the city of Gu'an, the sun was setting, but he didn't mean to set up a village, as if he had made up his mind to capture the city of Gu'an in one go, dressed and eaten, Bai Xiaozi came to Cheng Yuanzhi who was looking at the city tower, the latter waved his hand to Su Gu, Su Gu immediately retreated, and when he passed by Bai Xiaozi, he didn't want to nod his head as a greeting, and soon Xiao Gu disappeared in the dense crowd, and Bai Xiaozi said after saluting Qu Shuai: "Da Shuai plans to attack the city like this?" Although it takes time to catch up with the ladder, this time is by no means enough for the sergeants to rest, you must know that they have been on the road for three days in a row, tired and hungry, and their bodies and spirits are already exhausted, you should now let the team set up camp and stand firm, let everyone rest for the night and have a full meal, and start the attack tomorrow morning, not now. ”

He smiled, as if what he said was not important at all, and he didn't listen to a word, but looking at him like a little lion with his teeth and claws, it seemed that he had to convince himself of whatever he said today, even if he died, Cheng Yuanzhi shook his head, don't say that Bai Xiaozi is more solid than him, even Deng Mao is 108,000 miles away, if it weren't for the unavailable talents in the Yellow Turban Army, how could he be allowed to offend himself and question himself? He had already beheaded him, and said patiently: "We don't have enough food and grass now, so we must immediately attack the city and lay down the old peace, and time is not waiting." ”

The white millet also knew the fact that there was a shortage of food and grass, but this could never be used as an excuse to blindly attack Gu'an, and the soldiers were hungry and tired, even if they did not rest, they had to give them a full meal before attacking Gu'an.

He didn't expect Bai Xiaozi to be so stubborn in this matter, and suddenly asked: "So Anxian County gave us a strong wall and cleared the wilderness, so that we didn't get a grain of grain, but you said that Zhuo County and Zhuo County can be strong and clear?" ”

Bai Xiaozi was surprised, why did Qu Shuai suddenly talk about Zhuo County, did he mean something? Suddenly stunned, Zhuo County may not really be a strong wall, attacking the pavilion is naturally easier than attacking the county seat, and you can get the food you want, naturally it is stronger than attacking a thankless county town, and immediately overjoyed, and said: "What does Qu Shuai mean?" ”

Bai Xiaozi's blank afterglow naturally asked him if he was going to transfer troops north into the territory of Ju'an, Cheng Yuanzhi nodded, held his eyes at the head of Gu'an City, and said: "If we don't fight Gu'an, but directly enter Yu'an County, you say that Liu Lan can not notify the county order of Ju'an, if you can't say it, you will be dragged in Gu'an with the county order of Ju'an, and when we are completely out of food, we will be wiped out in one fell swoop, so ah, our threat to grain and grass is the greatest, and then it is this Liu Lan, so fighting Gu'an is a feint, and fighting Yuxian County is the real purpose." ”

It turned out that this was the case, Bai Xiaozi didn't expect Qu Shuai to think so far-reaching, so he took a deep breath lightly and admired sincerely: "Qu Shuai is thoughtful, and the end will be ashamed." ”

"Okay, okay, I've asked Sugu to lead people across Laishui into Yuxian County, your task now is to attack Gu'an, remember it's a feint, so that the old men in Gu'an mistakenly think that we were dragged by them in Gu'an, and our goal has been achieved."

He said with a smile: "Qu Shuai is clever, presumably after the battle is over, Zhuo County will be attacked, if Liu Lan hears the news, as long as he dares to go out of the city to support us, he can ambush him and then take Gu'an by the way, so that he will enter Zhuo County and join the other three friendly forces, Zhuo County applauds." ”

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled, taking his compliment as a dispensable compliment, the left ear went in and the right ear went out, it wasn't that he didn't like sycophants, but this trick came from Zhengu instead of him, no matter how Bai Xiaozi complimented him, he would not have any pride in his heart, but he would not tell the truth, because he really enjoyed the adoring gaze of his subordinates.

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled and said: "Hurry up and prepare to attack the city, it's not in a hurry to set up a village, in case you can lead out the Han army in the city, then you can directly enter the city and sleep in the county Ya, which is a hundred times stronger than camping in the wilderness." ”

~~~~~~~~~

After the day's deliberations, Liu Lan left Gu'an County with two thousand people from the headquarters and Xu Atai's department, although it is important to defend Gu'an, but there is also a mechanical force outside, which is equally important, not only to be able to grasp the dynamics of the Yellow Turban Army, but also to launch a fatal blow from behind when the Yellow Turban Army is attacking the city, as for the safety of Gu'an City, Liu Lan does not have to worry about Liang Da, Li Xiang, Jing Shou, plus Xian Yuyin is enough, the only deficiency is the troops, but in other words, the Yellow Turban really wants to attack the city on a large scale, and these 2,000 people can't hold it.

In order to avoid encountering the moth thief, Liu Lan went around in a big circle, first approached in the direction of Langya Mountain, and then made a detour to the north to Laishui, the scouts were all sent out, a total of three roads, all the way has been contacted to the righteous army, the leader is an old acquaintance Liu Bei, Liu Lan hopes that he will rush to Laishui as much as possible, where he will meet with him to drive the five thousand moth thieves back, and the scouts on the other side are paying close attention to the dynamics of the old security, fortunately, Cheng Yuanzhi did not attack the city in a big way, compared to him in the county of Yu to spread the good news, The last way is to find Zhang Zheng and the Gongsun Kang cavalry from Youbeiping, but unfortunately there is no news so far, and they can't grasp their itinerary, although there is a bit of a headache, but Liu Lan also has to stiffen his brows and Liu Bei in Laishui and the Yellow Turban Army to fight.

Everyone rested for a while, ate some dry food, drank some water, and then prepared to continue the march, Liu Lan shouted to them to leave, the troops began to march, and the group marched towards Laishui, Liu Lan led the way in front of his head, and Xu Atai Guan Yu was behind.

Liu Lan was at the front of the team first, next to Zhang Fei, a fierce man with a leopard head and ringed eyes, a swallow forehead, and a tiger's whiskers, Zhang Fei's notoriety was well-known, he said that no one dared to say two, but such a character was like a mouse seeing a cat in front of two people, one was Guan Yu and the other was Liu Lan, especially in front of the latter, when did he have that fierce strength, like a docile domestic cat, a vicious dog with a wagging tail, and he always followed Sima like a fart, at first Liu Lan was not used to it, After class, Liu Lan slowly acquiesced.

Because Zhang Fei's appearance made him think of the previous fart from time to time, but Zhang Fei was really ugly compared to Zhao Hong, who was white-faced, but he just didn't know how to become more intimate and affectionate the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it was to the eye, and even the frizzy personality occasionally did some out-of-the-ordinary behavior, which seemed to be tolerated.

This is very different from Liu Lan's general style, think about it carefully, he attributed it to protecting his shortcomings, and he could always hear some such things in later generations, at that time, out of reason, they also said that they disregarded moral concepts, but when it was his turn, he couldn't say it, but he was finally able to understand what it was like, so no matter what moth Zhang Fei poked out, Liu Lan would always forgive him and even protect him. This is Liu Lan's expression of integrating into the society of this era little by little, everything he did before had a so-called moral code, but this is just out of the moral norms of later generations, and now his feelings and selfishness are the good and evil side of human nature that he has shown after integrating into this era.

At this time, he can be regarded as completely opening his heart and integrating into this era.
