Liu Lan made such a decision after careful consideration, especially after combining the current situation, the possibility of success of this plan is very high. First of all, with Yuan Shao's army going south, the main force that originally stayed in Youzhou has withdrawn all the main forces, as for how much Yuan Shao can give Yuan Xi left, although it is unknown, but it will definitely not be too much, Liu Lan expects the number to be at most 30,000, of course, if you add the county soldiers, it may be 50,000 or even more, but after all, the county soldiers are under the combat strength, even the Yellow Turban Army can kill them and abandon their armor, and in the face of Xu Huang's Liaodong cavalry, there is no power to fight back.

So at present, the troops that can pose a threat to Xu Huang in Youzhou will never exceed 30,000 at most, and such a force obviously has no ability to resist in the face of the Liaodong cavalry, but there is one thing that Liu Lan must pay attention to, that is, although the Liaodong Army maintains a threat to Youzhou, the Donghu people who are also better with Yuan Shao also maintain a threat to Youzhou, just like the battle of Yijing, if it is not for the Donghu people to contain and Xu Huang's timely support, Gongsun Zhan will never be eliminated.

So if Xu Huang sends troops, there is actually a certain risk, but he believes that Xu Huang, who has learned from the previous experience, will easily deal with it, thinking of this, Liu Lan immediately called Xu Shu over, and discussed with him the possibility of this matter, and finally after the discussion, Xu Shu personally drafted, he left to pick up the pen and paper, quickly finished the order, and then went out of the house and handed it over to the internal guards, who passed it to Liaodong with flying pigeons and fast horses at the fastest speed.

After Xu Shu went and returned, Liu Lan heard about his situation in Langya, in fact, with the rebellion of Houqian, the Jizhou army has not made any big moves, he has already realized that the crisis will not appear for the time being, and the longer the time drags on, the safer it will become, of course, it can't be too optimistic, maybe the Jizhou army has been holding the troops for another purpose, so he didn't dare to take it lightly, as for Peixian, but also because the main force went to Peixian, he didn't dare to be too anxious, once Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were forced to hurry, I don't dare to think about the result, it is likely to encounter great trouble, after all, Peixian's current strength is only about 20,000 people, and it really doesn't have much confidence.

However, the development of many things, even Liu Lan himself can't think of it, maybe this is the war, when everyone is staring at Xuzhou, in fact, what the outcome of the war will be Maybe everyone has predicted it, but the result is several, but which one will be the final result, the spectators are completely in the mood of watching the excitement and not being afraid of big things, and they all expect the two to be a lose-lose situation.

As for Liu Lan and Yuan Shao, of course, they both hoped that the war would develop according to their expectations, but many things were far beyond their expectations, as if it seemed that there was no threat at all, Liu Lan always thought that he would be suppressed soon, but the final result was obviously completely beyond Yuan Shao and Liu Lan's expectations.

Because he successfully captured Huang County and captured Gao Kui, the moment the news came, Liu Lan was completely dumbfounded, his eyes were straight when he looked at the battle report, he couldn't figure it out and couldn't figure out how Qian would invade Huang County, and how he captured Gao Kui alive, he couldn't figure it out.

For this reason, Liu Lan sent an urgent message to find the answer, but there were still so many internal guards in Huang County, and none of them could know the answer, as if Huang County seemed to be a completely undefended town, and it was easily taken down. With such an answer, Liu Lan was naturally not satisfied, and even became angry, what is the existence of the internal guard? What does it mean to not know, this answer should be suicide and apologize!

Liu Lan reprimanded Xu Shu fiercely, and Xu Shu scolded the internal guard who stayed in Huang County in his heart, he didn't know that he didn't know such words, as an internal guard, it was appropriate to say it?

Dig out the truth as soon as possible, or you'll see you one by one!

Liu Lan was angry, Xu Shu was angry, and the internal guards naturally risked their lives to find out the truth, after all, this incident happened too strangely, the news he got before was that Gao Kui guarded Huang County, and then Qian focused on excavating gold, and the two sides completely maintained a tacit understanding, but why was it only half a month that Huang County was broken, and Gao Kui became a prisoner?

Not to mention Liu Lan himself, even Gao Lan, who got the news, couldn't speak clearly the moment after hearing that Gao Kui was captured, and a sense of foreboding made him very reluctant but had to think about the reinforcements.

He didn't know why Houqian was easily taken away from Huangxian, but if he wanted to catch Gao Kui, it was not so easy, there must be something hidden here, and there were even some situations that outsiders knew.

And with almost no sources, there are only a few things he can think of.

Judging from the current situation, that is to say, Hou Qian has the possibility of freely entering and leaving Huang County, otherwise it is impossible to explain why he was able to capture Gao Kui alive while attacking Huang County, that is to say, when entering Huang County, Gao Kui must have been unaware, this possibility seems a bit fantastical, but don't forget, Hou Qian's prestige in Huang County, and Huang County was actually controlled by Hou Qian before Gao Kui took it, and it was he who captured Huang County, so he killed the county order and released the county guard, that is, he must have installed Neiying in Huang County, Only this explanation can explain the cause and effect.

And before Gao Kui was stationed in Huang County, Hou Qian excavated gold, which is better understood, but with the news that they sent reinforcements to Huang County, Hou Qian could no longer be indifferent to the Jizhou army in Huang County, he had to make countermeasures and rub his hands, so he started, and as soon as he made a move, he wiped out the Jizhou army and captured Gao Kui.

"Did General Wen Chou and Yuan Tan Gongzi receive the news?" Gao Ran looked at his own soldiers.

The fast horse delivering the letter is on the way, believing that they will receive the news soon, Gao Ran nodded, he forced himself to calm down now, this matter is no longer as simple as Gao Kui is his family general, but represents the entire Jizhou, so he can't be rash, and because of an unpleasant encounter with Wen Chou, in this matter, he can no longer assert himself, so he also needs to ask Wen Chou for instructions in his own personal name to see how he wants to deal with this matter, and no matter what decision he makes, he can only comply unconditionally.

Gao Ran asked him to go to Linzi to see Wen Chou, and wait for his message, no matter what General Wen Chou decides, Gao Ran will definitely give his full support.

And in Huang County, the bearded and scarred on his face looked at the very fierce bandit leader Hou Qian was drinking wine in the county guard mansion, enjoying the song and dance performances of the beauties of the heavenly fragrance and the country, these performances were not attractive to rough people like him, as for the words they played and sang, they didn't understand a word, and they were far less attractive than these delicate beauties.

But although he is a rough man, he will not do such vulgar things, these things, too anxious and easy to frighten the beauties, but lack the joy of the bed, but he soon found that the elegant things he learned to sip tea on flowers, in the eyes of these little beauties, are tantamount to burning the piano and boiling the crane, one by one they are even more frightened, and in a fit of anger, they all came over, and in front of them, they all became well-behaved, at least in front of him began to scratch their heads and make gestures.

But these surviving Youling, on the contrary, lost a little taste, he regretted it a little, it turned out that those Youling who ignored him were the most fun beauties, and conquering them was the greatest pleasure, far more excited than the current few made him more excited, lost the fun, his eyes widened, and he threw all these people out, drinking sullen wine alone, and soon completely fell asleep to his dreams.

In the past few months, the big and small battles have indeed made him tired, especially on the highly tense battlefield, everything is a high load, and suddenly it is so relaxed, his body is really a little unbearable, but he also knows that such a relaxed day will not last long, and soon the main force of the Jizhou army will arrive.

The main force he said was not the 10,000 people sent by Wenchou, but the main force of Jizhou, this is something he has long understood, Houqian is not those brainless robbers, he knows very well what what he is doing now, but he has to do it, from the moment he got the reinforcements sent by Wenchou, he understood that the Jizhou army would not spare him, so he could only break the net with Taeny.

The roughest he is just asking for money, and it's good to be at peace with Gao Kui like this, but the Jizhou army doesn't give him a way to live, then he can only strike first, he naturally knows that solving Gao Kui will make him fall into great passivity, but he has no choice, if he doesn't fight Gao Kui, the Jizhou army will not spare himself, and if he fights Gao Kui, the Jizhou army will not let himself go, so why does he want to make the Jizhou army in Huangxian County in front of him better?

But after catching Gao Kui, Hou Qian hesitated, he didn't kill him, just like he let go of Donglai County Shou, he didn't want to become mortal enemies with these princes and form an inextricable hatred, so he wanted to leave a way back for himself, to Gao Kui, he was treated like a guest, except that there was no freedom.

This is his consistent method, when dealing with the Xuzhou army, he was also the same, as long as the captured prisoners, regardless of the size of the official position, will not be disadvantaged, otherwise, Tai Shici will not give him a way to live, and finally besieged him, did not kill them all, but recruited him and gave him a way to live, it can be said that this has a great relationship with the fact that he released the vast majority of the Xuzhou army.

tasted the sweetness, so he naturally had to continue to use it, although he didn't consider surrendering Yuan Shao, but when it really came to the moment when he had to surrender or had to surrender, he could imagine that it wasn't.
