Chapter 1511: The Battle of Xuzhou (108)

This time to go south to Qingzhou, it is the most important battle after Gao Ran has been dormant for many years, he can only succeed and cannot fail, the pressure is high, and the burden is heavy, but Gao Ran at the front of the team is full of confidence.

If there is any difference between this time and the last defeat, then this time the troops he led are the most elite troops in Jizhou, far from being comparable to the troops when he was defeated last time, Gao Ran is not the only one who made excuses for the previous defeat, the gap in the strength of the troops is obvious, these are all experienced in a hundred battles, just from the battle of Jizhou to the south, and the last time were temporarily recruited soldiers, in addition to receiving formal training, few people have been on the battlefield, such a force, if the war goes well, it is naturally all the way to the ground, But if there are any difficulties, it is natural that the defeat will be like a mountain of defeat.

And the last defeat in Dongguan, wasn't it because he was suddenly attacked by Zang Ba after the road was too smooth, but this time the troops he brought were different, a large part of these soldiers joined the command of the lord from the time of the Dong period, such a time in the army, how many battles and battles he has experienced, and any unfavorable factors, even if he is defeated, it will not make him unable to retract the defeated army like the previous time.

Gao Ran rode on a jujube yellow horse, wearing a bright silver fish scale armor, an iron helmet, and a sharp horn broadsword in his hand, which was particularly heroic. Speaking of which, the Linjiao broadsword in Gao Ran's hand is more famous than himself, and this weapon ranks thirty-fifth in the weapon spectrum that has been circulated in the market, and it can be regarded as a god soldier in the world.

In the past, the divine weapons that could be selected into the weapon spectrum were often because of the user's reputation, so every divine weapon could find his owner on the martial arts list, but Gao Ran and Linjiao broadsword were the only special cases, because he was the only one who was not shortlisted for the martial arts list, but the weapon was fortunate enough to enter the weapon spectrum.

Although Gao Ran is completely well-known to the world because of the Linjiao broadsword, he is really not a soft-footed shrimp, maybe his reputation in the world is not as well-known as Yan Liangwenchou, but in Jizhou, this general who is as famous as Yan Liangwenchou is extremely well-known.

Hebei Sitingzhu, Liu Lan and him have not fought each other, but when talking about these three people with Zhang Jaw, it can be seen that Zhang Jaw has a high evaluation of him, this person is skilled in bows and horses, and is proficient in the art of war, by no means an easy person, and from Zhang Jaw's tone, this person and his skills should be between the best, but who is better, I can't tell, after all, it's just a competition, some means haven't been used, if you really want to work hard, you really can't tell.

However, Liu Lan's later generations still have some understanding of this Gao Lan, of course, they all understand by watching the romance, and being able to draw with Xu Chu, on this point, Gao Lan's skills should not be underestimated, when he heard that Wen Chou and Gao Ran were appointed as positive and negative generals, he had no feeling for the main general Wen Chou, but attached great importance to Gao Lan.

This is a general who can lead the army and fight, as for Wen Chou, maybe it is a preconceived relationship, although there was a honeymoon period, the relationship is good, but as the relationship deteriorates, it also becomes an enemy, for him Liu Lan admits that he is a fierce general, but if it is a large corps of operations, such an opponent is actually not a big threat.

But Gao Ran is different, so he naturally reminded Zang Ba and Xu Fang in Kaecheng for the first time, and asked the two to be careful, after all, Zang Ba, who had fought with Zang Ba, knew better how powerful Gao Ran was.

And these are not known to Gao Lan, in his opinion, he should be just a nobody in Liu Lan's eyes, which is actually quite good, not taken seriously by the enemy, but it will surprise the world at that time.

The troops arrived at the Yellow River and boarded the ferry, just when Gao Ran watched the troops board the boat one after another, several fast horses came one after another, and the news from other roads came, and the troops were proceeding in an orderly manner.

Especially in the current form, Liu Lan must have sent countless spies in Jizhou to investigate the news, and the possibility of them being discovered is very large, but this time Gao Lan's plan to divide the troops is undoubtedly an extremely safe choice, even if it is detected, the transfer of 5,000 people will not be taken seriously.

But once these six soldiers and horses arrive in Qingzhou, the effect can be revealed, plus the troops in Qingzhou now, it is definitely a huge threat to Liu Lan, and even he dares to rely on these more than 50,000 people to directly take Langya, he has such confidence, and if there is this possibility, he is also willing to do so, once successful, then when the army arrives in Qingzhou, Liu Lan will not be far from destruction.

Gao Ran didn't know that Liu Lan had a high opinion of him, and similarly, Liu Lan wouldn't know that Gao Lan also looked at Liu Lan differently, when the battle of Qingzhou failed, he lost his qualification to lead the troops, and at home he was like, who would be his biggest enemy and opponent in the future, as soon as such a thought appeared, Liu Lan's figure flashed in his mind.

And after He Wenchou arrived in the plain, he asked him this topic in private, and he seemed to answer this question seriously, but he said many people's names, including Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and even Ma Teng, but he didn't mention Liu Lan.

Wen Chou was still puzzled at the time, and bluntly said why he didn't talk about Liu Lan, although Gao Ran half-jokingly said that Liu Lan had been eliminated by us before that, but Wen Chou knew the reason why he did this, that is, Liu Lan was the biggest enemy in his eyes, the biggest opponent of the lord.

It is precisely because of this that Gao Ran can't wait to eliminate Liu Lan, in fact, there are many different voices in Jizhou now, such as Fu Zhi bluntly said that after capturing Qingzhou, he will slowly Xu Nantu, and the first target to attack is not Liu Lan but Cao Cao.

This kind of suggestion makes many people not understand, including Gao Lan, it is clear that Liu Lan is the biggest opponent, why keep him, the longer he stays, the more endless the troubles, this kind of danger, the sooner it is destroyed, the safer, this truth, others don't understand, can you understand the military advisor?

After so many years of confrontation with Liu Lan, can't you still see how much of a threat Liu Lan has, not to mention the elite soldiers under his account, let's just say that his talent can develop little by little by relying on a ghost place like Liaodong, and now he has such a large piece of land and has become a force second only to them, this kind of person must not stay, otherwise, they must be unlucky, and Cao Cao has no threat to them at all, an ally who has no soldiers and no food, and can still send troops with them at critical moments, If you don't pull together to deal with the big enemy, why you can't wait to exterminate it, you can't understand it, let alone understand it.

But Gao Ran didn't understand, it's not that he didn't know these truths, but he took a fancy to Liu Lan and it was easy to get rid of it, so he didn't dare to rashly launch a decisive battle with Liu Lan, and there was no benefit in sending troops easily, so he could only slowly go south, gradually encroach southward, and get the greatest benefits at the lowest price.

This is a strategic outline made by Fu Zhu for Yuan Shao, but for his plan, there are not many people who support it, it is a very simple truth, just like the reason why Gao Ran doesn't understand, now he doesn't fight Liu Lan while he is not yet full-fledged, so wait for him to be full-fledged and then attack, is there a chance of winning?

No, now is the easiest period to eliminate Liu Lan, as long as you grasp it, you can completely solve the threat of Liu Lan, even if you beat him to Jiangdong, when the time comes, Liu Lan will arrive in Moling, even if there is a threat, it will not pose a danger to them, so since this battle will be fought sooner or later, it is better to fight it late.

Such an opponent can't give him time to develop, and if they fight fiercely with Cao Cao, and Liu Lan helps Cao Cao deal with us, or if Liu Lan develops southward, and when they plan to turn their heads and deal with Liu Lan, Liu Lan has already pacified all the south, then he will really become the biggest rival.

So, Wen Chou's words, although Gao Ran said all the great princes in the world once and did not say Liu Lan's name, but it shows that his mother regards Liu Lan as the only enemy, in fact, from another angle, Yuan Shu launched three battles of Xuzhou, not to mention the third time now, the first two times made Liu Lan laugh to the end, Liu Lan won people and land, and gained both interests, just ask such a situation, has it been for so many years, it has not appeared, then the problem comes, Yuan Shu Cao Cao knows that keeping Liu Lan is to raise tigers, Do everything possible to find a way to solve it, why should they keep it?

Isn't it easier for them to solve the threat of Liu Lan first, they are going to solve the others?

Yuan Shu was pressed by Liu Lan, and now it is difficult to continue to develop, as for Cao Cao, who is subject to the population, money, and food, there is no possibility of development and growth, when they seize Xuzhou, the strength will only increase exponentially, some people only see that Qingzhou will send many troops to garrison, but they do not think that the population of Xuzhou far exceeds that of Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou, which is definitely a big supplement to them.

It is precisely because of this that Gao Ran can't wait to eliminate Liu Lan, in fact, there are many different voices in Jizhou now, such as Fu Zhi bluntly said that after capturing Qingzhou, he will slowly Xu Nantu, and the first target to attack is not Liu Lan but Cao Cao.
