The cavalry of the Yuan army, who dismounted and seized their clothes and belongings, were suddenly attacked and besieged, and they were a little stupid for a while. When they were robbing the property, they dismounted to fight, and now that they were besieged, they found that their war horses were not around.

For a while, those cavalry of the Yuan army, no matter whose war horse it was, wanted to ride away when they grabbed it, but the real owner of the original war horse did not agree, and they themselves fled for their lives in order to snatch the war horse, which also made their sergeants chaotic.

Even, these cavalry of Gao Ran have trampled on each other.

Seeing this, Gao Ran couldn't contain the chaos of his military horses for a while, and saw that Cao Cao's military horses were about to surround his military horses, so he had to call his own soldiers, turn the horses back, and break through the gap.

At this time, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao analyzed and killed from the left and right.

The two generals shouted in unison: "Gao Ranxiu leaves, stay alive!" ”

Gao Ran turned around and saw that it was Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, knowing that if Lu Dao was chased and killed by these two generals, he was afraid that he would be difficult to match, so he didn't say anything at the moment, and fled directly to the Qinghe River.

The two generals naturally refused to let go of Gao Ran and chased after them.

Seeing this, Gao Ran was secretly annoyed, quietly crossed the spear on horseback, picked up the bow and arrow, pulled the bow for the full moon, and suddenly turned around and shot out.

With a snort, a cold light shot straight at Zhang Liao.

Well, Gao Ran was once very envious of Zhang He's beaded arrows, and in order to be able to compare with Zhang He, he secretly practiced archery, but he couldn't practice Zhang He's beaded arrows, but he practiced a stunt, that is, blind shooting. He can shoot at the target without aiming. It's a bit like the rapid-fire of later generations, where you don't have to aim at all. to hit a moving target.

Xu Huang and Zhang Liao chased Gao Ran, and the distance between the two sides was only more than 100 steps. An arrow shot by Gao Ran. Fast and urgent, especially when the internal strength was infused, the arrow reached Zhang Liao's face in the blink of an eye.

Xu Huang only had time to shout that Hugh was going to hurt people with a secret arrow, and the arrow had already been shot.

Fortunately, Zhang Liao has fought all his life, and he doesn't know how many times Lu Dao has experienced the test of life and death, and. His own combat power will not be inferior to Gao Ran, when there is danger. He could keenly sense that when Gao Ran turned around and released the cold arrow, Zhang Liao's hair suddenly stood on end, almost instinctively. Zhang Liao shrank his head. happened to dodge Gao Ran's fatal arrow.

However, the arrow came in a hurry, and with a ding, it directly hit the battle helmet on Zhang Liao's head, and hit the red tassel on the battle helmet, and the arrow directly caused Zhang Liao's battle helmet to fall backwards.

"How daring! How dare you cast a cold arrow? The long hair on Zhang Liao's head fell out all of a sudden, looking a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help but feel angry. Shoot the horse and dance the knife, and want to chase after the past and kill Gao Lan.

Don't want to. Gao Ran's arrow was too fast, after he shot an arrow, followed by the second arrow, Zhang Liao was unprepared for a while, but Gao Ran was shot by an arrow on the war horse, the war horse was in pain, neighed and fell to the ground, directly knocking Zhang Liao on the horseback to the ground.

Seeing this, Gao Ran was overjoyed, and immediately turned his horse, drew his spear, turned around and killed, and wanted to kill Zhang Liao who fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Xu Huang hurriedly slapped his horse to catch up, brandished a big axe, and fought with Gao Ran.

Originally, Xu Huang could barely be regarded as a super-first-class general, and his force value was stronger than Zhang He and Gao Lan, and even a little stronger than Zhang Liao compared to Zhang Liao.

However, when the two generals are fighting, their own abilities are a matter of one thing, and the most important thing is to look at their mentality.

Xu Huang fought with Zhang He before, and was scared out of a cold sweat by Zhang He's martial arts, and after that, Zhang He was actually defeated by Guan Yu with a knife, which deeply shocked Xu Huang. made Xu Huang have deep doubts about himself, doubting whether he was so strong.

As a master, if he has psychological problems and doubts about his ability, then he will always be restrained when fighting. This situation is the kind of situation that cannot be forced.

Gao Ran's force is a little worse than Zhang He, and if he fights with Xu Huang, he is far from being Xu Huang's opponent.

But the problem is that Xu Huang has a weak heart, especially when he saw Gao Ran almost shoot Zhang Liao with two arrows in a row, which already made Xu Huang feel that this Gao Ran didn't seem to be simple, and it had already made Xu Huang's courage ruined.

In particular, after Gao Ran shot Zhang Liao to the ground, he dared to turn around and fight, which made Xu Huang feel that this Gao Ran was not afraid of him at all. After another battle, Xu Huang found that this Gao Ran was indeed a master, and his spear technique was also quite exquisite, and the attack of one spear and one spear made Xu Huang have the illusion that it was difficult to resist the enemy.

Therefore, the ridiculous Xu Huang actually has a kind of psychology from the bottom of his heart that he is not as good as others and is not the enemy of Gao Yan.

Xu Huang made several moves against Gao Ran, saw that Zhang Liao had been rescued by the accompanying sergeant, and was walking back, and saw that the cavalry that broke through with Gao Ran was also killed at this time, he couldn't help but shake an axe, and quickly reined in his horse and fled.

At this moment, Gao Ran was also able to kill for a while, especially when he thought that he could obviously win a big victory, but he was inexplicably defeated, and Gao Ran, who was unwilling, actually rose up and chased after Xu Huang. At this moment, he wanted to kill one of Cao Cao's generals, so that he could go back and report to Yuan Shao.

However, Xu Huang fled quickly, and after a while, he fled into the Cao army that had been killed.

Gao Ran was helpless, and was about to retreat, but suddenly saw Zhang Liao who was shot dead by himself, he was fleeing along the river by a group of sergeants at the moment, Cao Cao's military horse had not been killed for a while, at this moment, it was a good opportunity to kill Zhang Liao.

Gao Ran thought of this, gritted his teeth, and Pegasus chased after Zhang Liao.

"Zhang Liaoxiu is gone! Leave your life behind! ”

Gao Ran shouted and killed, the spear stabbed a peach, and directly killed a Cao soldier who was protecting Zhang Liao, and the spear took Zhang Liao directly.

With Zhang Liao's martial arts, he is naturally not afraid of Gao Yan, and Zhang Liao is not afraid of facts, but Zhang Liao is wearing heavy armor, it is inconvenient to fight on foot, and his body is not flexible enough. And his personal soldiers, under unknown circumstances, thought that Zhang Liao had been injured, so those personal soldiers kept pulling him and escorting him to flee back. Even Zhang Liao couldn't scream.

The whole accident happened in a short period of time, and those pro-soldiers were also a little confused. Under the nervousness, he actually forgot to vacate a war horse for Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao felt the chill from Gao Lan's stab, pushed away the personal soldier who was pulling him, and violently pulled out his saber and stepped back.

With a ding, the gold and stone roared, and the sparks shot out.

Gao Ran took advantage of the momentum of the war horse and struck a heavy blow. The force was naturally much greater than that of Zhang Liao, who was in a hurry, and Zhang Liao was hit by gravity and took a few steps back.

And that's not all. The saber in Zhang Liao's hand, the blade of which was thinner, was actually broken by Gao Ran's spear.

"Suffer death!" Gao Dian saw the opportunity and jumped again. stabbed Zhang Liao in the chest.

This time. Zhang Liao, who only had a broken sword in his hand, was already unstoppable, and the soldiers who were protecting him were actually staggered by the impact of Gao Lan's bursting out, and they didn't have time to step forward to block this blow for Zhang Liao.

Seeing that Zhang Liao was about to be pierced through the chest by Gao Ran's spear, he suddenly heard a loud shout: "The thief will stop committing murder!" Look at the knives! ”

I saw a shadow of red and green, killing like the wind, bang! A large knife cut down. directly blocked the must-kill spear in front of Zhang Liao.

Gao Ran didn't notice it for a while, and he was blocked by someone and would kill him. couldn't help but feel angry, ignoring the soreness that Fang Fang's arm was a little numb from being shocked, he turned his spear to attack.

"Who is going to dare to harm Gao's good deeds? Look at the spear! ”

"Guan Yu, the general of Hedong Jieliang, dared to kill Wen Yuan? Stay alive! ”

Ding Ding ......

Gao Ran fought with Guan Yu for three moves, and at the same time asked Guan Yu's name, when he heard it, he was taken aback, and glanced at Guan Yu again, confirming that this person must be the fierce general who defeated Zhang He, and it must be Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu.

Now, a large number of Cao soldiers have been killed all around, Gao Ran is cowardly, where do he dare to fight Guan Yu? I didn't talk anymore, just dialed back and fled.

Cao Cao wanted to move the army to Yanjin, Guan Yu naturally wanted to go with the army, and Cao Cao was never willing to leave Guan Yu in White Horse City and let Guan Yu leave his side. Because, Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei was in Yuan Shao's army, if Guan Yu was left alone in White Horse City, if they let their brothers meet, then Guan Yu would not surrender to the enemy before the battle? Return to his sworn brother?

Therefore, Cao Cao naturally asked Guan Yu to go to Yanjin with the army.

Guan Yu himself is not willing to participate in this battle, he is just protecting his sister-in-law Liang Lan and ensuring the safety of his sister-in-law.

However, now that there are battlefields everywhere, Guan Yu has to deliberately escort his sister-in-law to a slightly safer place.

He escorted his sister-in-law to walk on the bank of the Qinghe River, but unconsciously walked to the front line, and happened to see Gao Ran chasing Zhang Liao.

In Cao Cao's army, Guan Yu only had a lot of good feelings for Zhang Liao, and only had a little friendship with Zhang Liao. Therefore, he came in time to save Zhang Liao.

This Gao Lan, who did not follow Zhang Liao, really made Guan Yu a little annoyed, and when he saw that he was going to escape, he immediately chased and killed him.

The red rabbit horse is fast, and in the blink of an eye, it kills the queen of Gao Lan's horse.

"Die!"

A domineering and powerful murderous aura made Gao Ran tremble.

He suddenly remembered that Zhang He had told him that when Zhang He was defeated by Guan Yu, Ben and Guan Yu were still dozens of steps apart, but Guan Yu killed him in the blink of an eye and defeated him with a knife.

Now, Gao Ran felt Guan Yu's domineering murderous aura, which made him stunned, and he knew that Guan Yu must have killed him behind him at this moment. He didn't have time to think about it, so he jumped up directly from the horse's back and fell straight in front of the horse.

Boom!

With a single sword, Guan Yu directly split Gao Lan's war horse in half, and the sky was full of blood and rain.

"Ahh

Gao Ran only felt a pain in his back, screamed, and fell directly into the Qinghe with a bang.

In the river, a tumbling red shadow swelled up, but there was no trace of Gao Yan.

"Kill!"

At this moment, Xu Huang led the army to kill again, covering the past against Gao Ran's deserters.

Losing the main general, the Yuan army scattered and fled, and not long after, the grain and grass that had been robbed by the Yuan army earlier were naturally recaptured by the Cao army.

The 30,000 Yuan Shao cavalry who crossed the river were almost all wiped out.

And all this was seen by someone on the other side of the Qing River.

Liu Bei led 30,000 Yuan troops, because of the relationship between escorting grain and grass, the marching speed was not so fast, he heard the sound of shouting and killing, so he went to the other side to observe, but as a result, he saw Guan Yu shoot Gao Ran down the Qinghe. Life and death unknown.

Seeing such a situation, Liu Bei was secretly shocked in his heart, knowing that if Yuan Shao knew that Guan Yu would really kill Gao Lan. Then he may not be spared, Yuan Shao is angry, he will definitely kill himself to calm his anger.

At this moment, Liu Bei immediately wanted to escape, but when he thought about it, he had nowhere to escape now, if he fled now. will definitely attract Yuan Shao's pursuit.

He hurriedly told Jian Yong, Sun Gan and others what he had seen.

Everyone was also a little flustered.

Jian Yong thought for a while and said, "Lord, Guan Yu's matter of cutting Gao Lan, Yuan Shao must not know about it now. Let's keep it a secret. ”

"Well, naturally you have to hide it first, but this paper can't hold the fire." Liu Bei was a little helpless.

"Now I can only see walking." Jian Yong said: "But." Now that he has known the Dao, Guan Yu is in Cao Ying. We have to think of a way to let Guan Yu return to the lord. As long as the lord has Guan Yu by his side, even Yuan Shao will not dare to kill the lord lightly. When Guan Yu comes back, we will leave or stay at that time, it's all easy to say. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he felt that this was the right reason, and at the moment, he made Jian Yong responsible. Let's see how to contact Guan Yu and let Guan Yu leave Cao Ying and return to Liu Bei's side.

Liu Bei now also knows the benefits of Lu Dao's side to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Without them by his side, Liu Bei's heart was not steady enough, and even Yuan Shao said that he would tie him up, and if he said that he wanted to kill him, he would kill him. However, if there is this second brother and third brother by his side, Yuan Shao can easily tie himself up?

Liu Bei couldn't help but regret a little that he was too anxious at the beginning, and he shouldn't have grabbed Xuzhou and didn't let go, and he shouldn't have been separated from Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. Fortunately, now that it is known that Guan Yu is in Cao Ying, although Zhang Fei is nowhere to be found, he should be fine. Liu Bei thought about it, and then ordered someone to find Zhang Fei and see where Zhang Fei was now.

Cao Cao won another battle, and when he heard that Guan Yu killed him again, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

However, Cao Cao's joy did not last long, because whether it was the Battle of White Horse City or the Battle of Yanjin. These victories are, in fact, partial victories.

When Yuan Shao waved his army to Yanjin, it was equivalent to capturing Cao Cao's weakness and forcing Cao Cao to take a defensive position. In the current situation, it is impossible for Cao Cao not to defend Yanjin and not mobilize his military horses to guard Guandu, because once Guandu is lost, Yuan Shao's army will be directed at Xu Du, and once Xu Du is lost, then Cao Cao's efforts over the years will be burned. Now, if the entire land of Hebei is exchanged with Cao Cao for a Xu Capital, Cao Cao will not exchange it.

Yuan Shao had the lesson of delaying the military plane before, and this time, he followed the vanguard army of Gaolan without hesitation and attacked. The main thing is that this time he marched without crossing the Qing River first, but just marched along his own territory, so Yuan Shao was not worried about being attacked by Cao Cao, so the speed of the march was also very fast.

Therefore, as soon as Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops arrived at Yanjin, Cao Cao knew that Yanjin could not be defended.

In addition, the spies came to report that Yuan Shao learned that Cao Cao had moved from White Horse City to Yanjin, and sent another army to capture White Horse City, as well as Puyang City northeast of White Horse City, and Yuan Shao sent another army horse to capture it.

This area between the Qinghe River and the Yellow River is indeed very defensible. If Yuan Shao only sent tens of thousands of military horses, Cao Cao could still defend in Yanjin, but if Yuan Shao personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to kill, Cao Cao would only be able to avoid his front first.

What's more, Cao Cao didn't want to be besieged by Yuan Shao's army in a small city like Yanjin.

In this way, Cao Cao had no choice but to lead his army to the south, retreat from Yanjin to Guandu, and then immediately mobilize military horses, rush to Guandu, and confront Yuan Shao across the river.

In this way, Yanjin also fell into the hands of Yuan Shao.

After Yuan Shao waited for the army to capture Yanjin and capture the area around Puyang, he had time to ask Gao Ran how he was defeated and beheaded.

Gao Ran was defeated that day, and some deserters had already fled back to report to Yuan Shao, but at that time, Yuan Shao was anxious to destroy Cao Cao in Yanjin, and temporarily ignored the re-defeat of the vanguard army. In addition, although Gao Ran was defeated, the impact on Yuan Shao was not as great as the defeat of Zhang He earlier.

At least the 100,000 vanguard army and 70,000 horses were not attacked by Cao Cao, and most of the 30,000 cavalry escaped. At that time, the cavalry that attacked Cao Cao with Gao Ran and competed for Cao Cao's armor and war horses was not all of the 30,000 military horses, and more cavalry were chasing Cao's heavy routs at that time.

What really had an impact on Yuan Shao was the legend that Gao Ran was killed.

After all, Gao Ran is Yuan Shao's left arm and right arm, and now that Gao Ran doesn't know his life and death, Yuan Shao's heart is angry, and he has ordered someone to investigate this matter and investigate the situation of Gao Ran's life and death.

Now, Yuan Shao had achieved an oppressive strategy against Cao Cao, and the army advanced to Yanjin, and the front of the army was directed at Guandu, forcing Cao Cao to confront his own army.

In terms of fighting generals, Yuan Shaozhi said that he was inferior to Cao Cao, and the only way was to use the advantage of strength to defeat Cao Cao. They have already ordered people to prepare to force the crossing, and when they are ready, they can wave their troops to attack.

At this moment, Guo Tu met with the trial and reported the situation they had investigated to Yuan Shao.

They said to Yuan Shao: "My lord! His subordinates have investigated the matter of General Gao Ran. ”

"Oh? Tell me what is going on, gentlemen. When Yuan Shao heard this, he hurriedly put it on other matters and asked the two of them.

"This time, it was Guan Yu who killed General Gao Ran. But Liu Bei pretended not to know! ”

"What? Guan Yu again? Are you saying that General Gao Ran has been beheaded by Guan Mou, who killed a thousand knives? When Yuan Shao heard this, he was furious and couldn't believe the news that Gao Ran was dead. He scolded: "Liu Bei's big-eared thief dares to do this? Dare to murder General Yuan Shao? ”

"Our soldiers captured by Cao Cao fled, and they told them that the person who defeated General Zhang He and killed General Gao Ran was Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu. It's true! The judge also gritted his teeth. (To be continued......)
