On the road between Taiyuan County and Yanmen County, flags fluttered in the Yuan army camp, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth.

Even if Gao Ran had already held the choke point of the Bingzhou army going north, he still did not dare to slack off, and encouraged morale and trained soldiers every day.

In the commander's tent, Gao Ran read the letter in his hand several times, and the heavy color on his face became more and more intense.

"General, what's wrong?"

When a deputy general saw Gao Ran's face, his heart was also tight, and he couldn't help but ask.

Gao Lan let out a long breath and said: "According to the report from the scout, Jinyang suddenly poured out 10,000 soldiers and horses, under the banner of Zhao Yun, and actually went straight to Changshan Country in Jizhou to kill. ”

"What?"

Hearing Gao Ran's words, everyone was shocked and couldn't help but shout.

Another general said: "Could it be that Zhao Yunzhen is in Taiyuan? ”

"Also, didn't you say that Jinyang only had 15,000 soldiers and horses, why did Zhao Yun directly take 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the city?"

Another person said with a worried face: "The lord has almost all his troops and horses to attack and conquer the state, if Zhao Yun really leads the troops to kill Changshan, there will definitely be no one to stop him." ”

Now the situation in the camp of the commander of the Yuan army is like a boulder thrown into a quiet lake, stirring up a circle of ripples.

Gao Ran didn't care about the exclamations of others, just frowned and looked at the report in his hand, his face was a little cloudy.

"Is Zhao Yunzhen in Taiyuan County? If it weren't for Zhao Yun himself, who would use the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Marksmanship? ”

Gao Ran had thought about this matter for a long time, but he couldn't figure out anything after thinking about it, so he could only bury this doubt deep in his heart.

In Gao Lan's opinion, no matter whether that person was Zhao Yun himself or not, as long as he cut off the road for the Jinyang and Zhou troops to go north to support Zhang Liao, he could be regarded as having completed the established strategic goal.

However, now Zhao Yun actually violated common sense, instead of leading troops to rescue Zhang Liao, he brazenly sent troops to attack Jizhou.

This kind of crazy move can't help but make Gao Ran a little confused.

"Could it be that Zhao Yun wants to surround Wei to save Zhao?"

Gao Ran thought carefully in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

"No, if that person is really Zhao Yun himself, and the soldiers and horses left behind in the state are definitely not only those that were detected in advance."

It can be imagined that if Zhao Yun is also in Bingzhou, then it means that Chen Xu has long expected that Yuan Shao will take the opportunity to attack Bingzhou.

If this is the case, Chen Xu will definitely have a countermeasure, and Yuan Jun's plan to take over the state will become a big joke.

"But, is that person really Zhao Yun?"

Just when Gao Ran's heart was entangled, he felt that someone was pulling his sleeve, and then he came back to his senses.

Gao Ran looked around and found that the generals had their eyes on him.

"Ahem."

Gao Ran felt a little embarrassed about his distraction, and coughed twice in disguise.

"Although the main purpose of our soldiers and horses is to confuse the Bingzhou army in Taiyuan, we are also responsible for guarding Changshan."

"Now that the Lord is divided into three armies to attack and merge with the state, Changshan is extremely empty, regardless of whether that Zhao Yun is true or not, we can't sit idly by."

"If the indulgence and state army enter Changshan, I am afraid that before the lord has conquered Yanmen County, the entire Changshan will be occupied by the thief army."

"So, I intend to lead the troops back!"

As Gao Ran said, no matter what, Jizhou cannot afford to lose, otherwise even if he can block the Taiyuan and Zhou army from going north, he will eventually suffer Yuan Shao's monstrous anger.

Although he was determined to return to the army to rescue Changshan, Gao Ran still left 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the camp.

Gao Ran is confident that with the particularity of this camp, even after he leads the troops back to Changshan, even if Chen Gong leads the troops to attack, there are not 10,000 or 20,000 people, and he is eager to capture this camp.

As long as the camp is not lost, there will not be a single reinforcement entering Yanmen County in the short term.

Xu Xian was originally sword-eyed and dignified, but now he was wearing a white robe and white armor, and riding a white horse and holding a silver spear, he really looked like Zhao Yun was there in person.

It can be said that if you are not familiar with Zhao Yun, seeing Xu Xian's current dress and temperament, I am afraid that you will not think that this person is just a copycat.

Deng Xian's plan was to let himself pretend to be Zhao Yun and lead the troops straight to Changshan Kingdom, and then made Gao Ran suspicious.

Gao Ran will definitely not watch it, this road under the banner of Zhao Yun's merging state army, killing the extremely empty Changshan country, will definitely lead the troops to chase after it.

Once Gao Ran left that camp, it would be much easier for Chen Gong to design and seize the village.

Xu Xian asked a general beside him, "Have you ever heard about Gao Lan's movements?" ”

The general replied, "To this day, no scouts have detected Gao Ran leaving the camp. ”

Xu Xian's heart sank when he heard this, and he secretly thought: "Could it be that Gao Ran saw through my plan, so he refused to leave the camp?" ”

Thinking of this, Xu Xian couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

This is the first plan he offered to Chen Gong, and if he can't succeed, it will definitely hit him hard.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Xian's eyes suddenly flashed a fierce color: "If Gao Ran really ignores this passer-by,

I don't mind leading the army directly into Changshan and turning Jizhou upside down! ”

The army was still moving forward, and the pace of the march was unhurried.

After a dozen miles of travel, when the sun was about to set, suddenly a scout hurried over.

"General, general, Gao Ran really led the troops to chase after him!"

Xu Xian was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "How many people did he bring over?" ”

From the beginning, Xu Xiandu didn't think that he could use this strategy to let Gao Ran abandon the camp.

All he had to do was to try his best to lure out the men and horses in the camp, and then create an opportunity for Chen Gong to capture the camp.

The scout replied: "According to the calculation of the banner of the Yuan army, there are 15,000 men and horses among the Yuan army chasing after them. ”

"Is it only fifteen thousand?"

According to Xu Xian's calculation in advance, if Gao Ran learned that Zhao Yun led his troops to kill Changshan, he would definitely not dare to be careless, and would bring as many men and horses as possible to pursue.

He didn't expect that Gao Ran would dare to catch up with only 15,000 people.

After all, Xu Xian is now fighting under the banner of 10,000 people, and with the elite of the state army, even if he confronts Gao Ran's 15,000 people head-on, he has a great chance of winning.

What's more, the coach here is still Zhao Yun, a world-famous general.

"I really don't know where Gao Ran got the confidence, he only led 15,000 men and horses, and he dared to pursue him."

At this time, Xu Xian actually had a trace of remorse in his heart, if he really led 10,000 horses out of the city, I am afraid that he would be able to defeat this Yuan army head-on.

In fact, the men and horses he led were actually only 3,000 people, and they were just putting up banners and bluffing.

"There are 5,000 soldiers and horses left in the camp of Yuan's army, even if you make Jun lead 10,000 troops to go, I am afraid that you will not be able to easily capture that camp."

Thinking of this, Xu Xian's eyes couldn't help but show a sad color.

However, it was said that Gao Ran had made up his mind to prepare to return to Changshan, so he led the army to chase after Xu Xian.

A deputy general said with a worried look on his face: "If that enemy general is really Zhao Yun, a famous general in Guanzhong, and we only lead 15,000 people to fight against him, will it be a bit of a big deal?" ”

Zhao Yun has long been powerful in the world, especially in the north, Zhao Yun's voice is even stronger.

Moreover, the elite of the state army is known to the world, even if the Yuan army has an advantage in terms of strength, the deputy general is not confident that he can defeat the 10,000 horses led by Zhao Yun.

Gao Ran comforted the adjutant general and said: "It is not known whether this person is Zhao Yun or not, and it is also unknown whether the enemy army has 10,000 horses. ”

"What's more, although Zhao Yun is famous all over the world, I may not be afraid of him."

"Even if Zhao Yun really led 10,000 horses, I commanded 15,000 troops, even if I can't defeat him, I can remain undefeated."

When the adjutant general heard Gao Ran's confident words, his heart settled down a little.

After all, his own coach is also a famous military general in Hebei, and he is by no means an easy person, even if Zhao Yun is famous, his own coach will not necessarily be much weaker.

"Report to the general, the thief army has set up camp thirty miles ahead!"

Suddenly, a Yuan army scout galloped over on horseback and shouted at Gao Ran.

Gao Ran was sure in his heart when he heard this, he looked up at the sky, and said, "The army will march forward for ten miles, and then set up camp to rest!" ”

After speaking, Gao Ran immediately asked his lieutenant general to urge the soldiers to march forward quickly.

Autumn is getting stronger and stronger, and the weather is getting colder, especially in the north, where the temperature is getting very low.

It is the middle of the month, and when night falls, a full moon rises from the sky, casting a silver light over the whole land, which is particularly beautiful and charming.

"General, there is a clearing in front of you that is surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is a good place to set up camp."

Gao Ran nodded slightly when he heard this, and said, "First send someone to investigate carefully, and after confirming that there is no ambush by the state army, then set up camp." ”

On the other hand, after Xu Xian's camp was completed, several generals of the state gathered in his tent and talked loudly.

"Gao Lan's gang chased our army for a day, and there must be people and horses, if the general leads the troops to rob the camp tonight, he will definitely break the Yuan army!"

Xu Xian shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said: "Gao Lan is a famous general in Hebei, how can he be easy to follow, and he will definitely defend it tightly when he is encamped." ”

"If you rush to rob the camp, not only will you not win, but you are likely to be defeated, and this plan is not advisable."

When the general heard this, he immediately sneered: "I think General Xu is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he doesn't dare to go to rob the camp, right?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Xian's face couldn't help but sink, and he secretly thought in his heart: "In the end, these people are still very dissatisfied when they see that the envoy has promoted me exceptionally." ”

"However, this is the case in all the military, and if they are not convinced, even if they lead an army alone, they will encounter great resistance."

Thinking of this, Xu Xian had a plan in his heart.
