Chapter 273 Battlefield confrontation
"Word it low, only we two know this way. If Gao Taishou knows, he will definitely blame us. Although we may not be able to make contributions when we go out to fight, we still have some methods of self-protection. If you want to protect yourself, you must be careful in your words and actions. I am just talking to you in a low voice, but if you shout out like this, how can I be a human being?"
Zhang He was so amused that Gao Lan had a similar personality to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and was impulsive and reckless. Now he blurted out such words when holding a banquet. If the high-ranking officials knew about this, they would definitely not give up.
Fortunately, everyone is drinking noisily now, and no one notices what Gao Lan wants to say, otherwise it would be another disaster.
Gao Lan scratched his head, chuckled, and hurriedly stopped. After Zhang He reminded him, he knew that he was wrong. Fortunately, no one was paying attention to him, otherwise he would have harmed his third brother Zhang He?
The next morning, Zhang He, Gao Lan and others rectified the troops under the strict orders of high-ranking officials. The 20,000 troops were arranged into a neat team, leaving Huai County, and heading for Yewang City.
This time, the senior officials learned their lessons and sent a large number of scouts to investigate the enemy situation, especially in places suitable for arranging ambush, so as to prevent Xun You from setting up ambush along the way like he did last time.
As a result, Xun You did not set up an ambush this time, but sent troops to set up a formation outside the city to welcome the arrival of the high-ranking army.
In front of the two armies, Xun You pointed at the high-ranking officials and shouted loudly: "High-ranking officials, the Han family has its own system. Since I am the prefect of Hanoi, this Hanoi bento is under my control. However, you not only privately occupy the territory that should belong to me, but also repeatedly launch troops to invade each other. Do you really think that the sword in my hand dare not kill people?"
When the high-ranking sneered, "Xun You, don't think that with Pei Qing supporting you, you can rest assured. My lord, my family's three generations, my disciples and former officials all over the world, and they were the leader who attacked Dong Zhuo at the time. What is Pei Qing? He is not worthy of carrying shoes with my lord, and he dares to privately appoint the prefect of Hanoi privately. Don't think that he is the Sili lieutenant, so he can make decisions about what is here. If it weren't for my lord's action to clear the black bandits, how could you occupy Hanoi so smoothly? Even in terms of credit, my lord should be appointed as the prefect of Hanoi. What's more, my lord has been regarded as the general today. Pei Qing is just a general of the cavalry. He is under my lord and should obey the dispatch of my lord."
"What? Appointing the general?" Xun You couldn't help laughing and said coldly: "Is this the emperor's voluntary appointment? It was Cao Cao who made a report to the emperor to win over Yuan Shao? But it is said that the emperor did not agree to this matter. Before the emperor agreed, Yuan Shao dared to call himself a general. He really didn't take the imperial court seriously. If you dare to say this, do you really think that I don't know the inside story?"
"Uh..." Gao Gan really didn't expect Xun You to know so much. He had just learned about this news yesterday, and he didn't know what the court disagreed with. Now that this matter was told in public, it was really embarrassing.
However, the high-ranking official did not react slowly, and said loudly: "You are simply nonsense, a slander against my lord. I will ask you for an explanation sooner or later. As for the last time you killed my generals Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, I cannot forget this hatred. Stop talking nonsense. If you believe you are unable to defeat yourself, you will surrender early, and I will not make things difficult for you. But if you resist to the end, the tens of thousands of soldiers under my command will definitely break through your city. At that time, you will be killed. Don't blame me for not telling you in advance."
Xun You smiled faintly when he heard this, "Haha, is it slander? I believe everyone will know slowly. As for the two killed generals you mentioned, it was also the result of their proactive invasion. As for the persuasion of surrender, high-ranking officials, I advise you not to think about it. Don't say it's you, even Yuan Shao is not worthy of letting me serve him."
"Ah... so brave, Xun You, you have been humiliating my lord, and he is my uncle. How can I let you go?"
The senior officials were furious when they heard the news and immediately ordered the army to launch an attack.
Of course, this is actually because the high-ranking officials cannot fight Xun You in the fight. In order to hide his embarrassment and to end the inevitable defeat, the high-ranking officials deliberately pretended to be stimulated and led their troops to fight.
Xun You didn't care about this at all and immediately ordered the entire army to fight. In an instant, a fierce battle started between the two sides.
At the beginning of the battle, Xun You saw two powerful generals appearing behind Gao Gan. Of course, he also had his own channels and knew that Yuan Shaoxin had appointed two powerful generals to assist in the battle. These two powerful generals were Zhang He and Gao Lan, who were known as the two most powerful generals in Yuan Shao's army except Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
"The lord said before that the peak combat power of Pan Feng and Mu Shun should be no less than that of Zhang He and Gao Lan in Yuan Shao's army. However, now they lack practical experience. If they fight against such figures, they will definitely lose. And today is not the time to conquer the top and bottom. I still have my plans, so today I won't let them decide the winner, and it's more important to implement the plan."
After thinking about this, Xun You issued an order to Pan Feng and Mu Shun to act according to the plan.
Pan Feng and Mu Shun had received detailed instructions before, so after receiving the order, they did not hesitate at all. They immediately came to Zhang He and Gao Lan according to the plan, and provoked loudly: "I heard for a long time that Zhang He and Gao Lan are famous generals from Hebei, but I don't know if they are just famous? Today, in front of the two armies, do you dare to compete with us?
After saying that, they ignored the other party's failure to agree and directly rushed towards the two of them with weapons.
Zhang He and Gao Lan naturally could not wait for death, so they instinctively copied their weapons to fight each other.
During the battle, both of them discovered that except for being stronger, these two people were not special. They were even sure that they could kill or capture these two guys in only twenty rounds at most.
However, unexpectedly, at this moment, these two enemy generals took the initiative to retreat.
"Zhang He and Gao Lan are indeed well-known and have great martial arts skills. We are no match for each other. The green mountains remain unchanged and the green water flows forever. See you again in the future."
After saying that, the two of them retreated.
However, in panic, the two of them ran in the wrong direction and ran directly to the outside of the city.
"Where are you going?" Seeing this, Gao Lan, regardless of whether the other party was in true love or pretending to retreat, he directly rushed over and chased after him.
"Be careful, you are dangerous to do this." In desperation, Zhang He could no longer care about so much and shouted loudly.
