"Why are you holding the general?"

Gao Ran shouted and asked towards the judge. Zhang He failed and was captured, and he wanted to go to the rescue in anger, but was blocked by the trial. In fact, when he was blocked by the trial, he already knew in his heart that the trial was right, but as the master of an army, if he just gave up a general and ignored it, he would inevitably lose the morale of the army and lead to a great drop in morale. It's just that morale is lowered, and the most important thing is that it will reduce the trust of other generals in him. Therefore, he can only question the matching.

"General, the elite of the Youzhou Army is known to the world, if the general rushes out to save people like this, I'm afraid not only will he not be able to save people, but he will also lose his life in vain." Judging the bottom of his heart, it was like eating countless flies, and he was so uncomfortable that he died, but this black cauldron could only be carried by him.

Gao Ran's face was still full of anger, but when he saw that the judge pointed to the outside of the city, he saw that the 800 soldiers who went out of the city with Zhang He were defeated by the Youzhou army, and his heart suddenly cooled down.

"Hey~"

Although the judge carried the black cauldron, he still sighed involuntarily at this time, and said: "Yesterday, the other party only defeated our general, neither killing nor taking prisoners, I'm afraid it's for now!" ”

"Looking at the strength of the Youzhou Army, the rumors are really true!"

Without him, the defeat of the eight hundred sergeants who laid out the crane wing array, the Youzhou army only used one song, and the process was about one assault, or two, and there would definitely be no more.

Because, there are not so many words.

Gao Ran let out a sigh of relief with an ugly face, and said in a deep voice: "Since General Zhang He was only captured, it means that there is still a chance to be rescued, so everyone should be careful not to let the enemy take the opportunity to seize the city." ”

"Yes, General!" The solemn faces of the others responded in unison.

Subsequently, no matter how Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others provoked, Gao Ran and others all held on to the city and refused to fight.

It's just that this is exactly in line with Gongsun Duyi, for two days in a row, he is still calling for war, but there is no intention of attacking the city.

"Did any of the people who sent it come back?" In three days, Gao Ran sent out hundreds of his men to deliver the letter. Not to mention anything else, I don't know what the situation is for a while and a half, but Yuci, who is close to the left, can almost have a round trip even if he walks in three days.

"Nope." The judge shook his head and said, "The day before yesterday, the number of Youzhou troops was two thousand less, and I think it should have been to Yuci, and I am afraid it will be difficult to get news back at this time." It's just that it's not the one to worry about. ”

"What's that?" Gao Ran's brows furrowed slightly.

"The people who were sent out didn't come back, and most of them didn't." The judge speculated, "If you look at it this way, I'm afraid other people will be like this!" ”

"Bang" Gao Ran slammed his fist on the table and scolded: "This group of bastards really deserves to die, but they are still besieging and not attacking, so that the general is really angry and has no place to scatter, it's really hateful, hateful......"

The trial was silent, but he knew in his heart that if he didn't die this time, he was afraid that he would only be captured in the end, and the end would not be much better.

In three days, Zhang Liao also took Gongsun Du's 800 personal soldiers to travel day and night, all the way to Huguan.

But it's not bad at all as expected by the trial, but what is the use of expecting it!

Huguan is not far to the north.

Zhang Liao led people to hide in a valley, holding the telescope that Gongsun Du had rewarded him not long ago, which made him almost scared to death, and watched Huguan's every move.

I saw that the door of the pot was opened, and nearly 100 people outside the gate were carrying burdens, carrying burdens, or driving carriages...... There was a long queue, and under the inspection of the soldiers guarding the gate, they slowly passed the border.

Zhang Liao's eyes flashed, and he had an idea in his heart.

Slowly retreating to the bottom of the valley, Zhang Liao summoned eight squadron captains and said: "Now Huguan is still closed, I think it is not yet news, this is a godsend, Liaoyi selected more than 30 people who dare to die, pretending to be business travelers, peddlers and pawns, and when they get close to the gate, they take advantage of the situation to attack and kill the general guarding the pass, and seize the gate in one fell swoop." ”

The eight of them looked very flat when they heard this, and just nodded.

Zhang Liao didn't care, but said: "In this case, please pick a good manpower, and then work with Liao, and set off immediately after a little preparation, how about it?" ”

"The captain can choose thirty people at will." The captain of the first squadron on the left replied indifferently. The rest bowed their heads slightly.

Zhang Liao was quite unhappy when he heard this, but because he was still a newcomer to the ramp, and the big war was imminent, it was not easy to attack, so he just frowned and said, "Should this be a good selection?" ”

Or the squadron captain who spoke earlier, glanced at him lightly, and replied: "Captain, do you know that we people have been screened through layers of screening?" There are 1,000 people in the team, any of whom have been in the army for less than ten years, and all of them have experienced a hundred battles. He has been in the army for 15 years, and has experienced no less than 500 large and small wars. As the Lord's personal army, we are ready to sacrifice for the Lord's father at any time. So the captain wants to choose a person who dares to die, just order it. ”

Zhang Liao's brows eased slightly, and when he saw that the rest of the people were indifferent, he knew that he was making a joke. At the same time, I was faintly relieved of what Chen Gong, Lu Bu and Gao Shun said when they were in Ban's.

It seems that what Chen Gong said is true!

After Zhang Liao figured it out, he didn't procrastinate, and after selecting thirty people, he asked them to prepare, and he began to take off his armor, leaving his long knife behind, and then ......

Everyone was ready, Zhang Liao walked out of the valley first, and then the others walked out one after another.

At this time, Zhang Liao was holding a sheathed big knife and acting like a ranger. Coming to the end of the team, Zhang Liao patted the shoulder of the person in front of him as if he didn't care.

"Who?"

The person in front seemed to be a little panicked, and he screamed, attracting the attention of the people in front of him, and when he turned around and saw Zhang Liao, he restrained the panic on his face.

Zhang Liao's heart tightened, but his face was unconcerned, and said: "The customs inspection was not so strict before, what is going on today?" ”

"The heroes don't know, and now the sky in the state has changed."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhang Liao said impatiently: "This knows, isn't it just replaced by Yuan Gong, who else doesn't know this news." ”

The man was silent for a moment, if he wasn't afraid that Zhang Liao would cut him with a knife, he would have run away.

Zhang Liao casually glanced around, and saw that there were already other people coming over and lining up behind, and said: "Didn't you say that Yuan Gong was broad-minded and anxious for justice and righteousness, so that everyone could pass the test smoothly?" Why are inspections so strict? ”

This sentence solved the previous doubts, and quietly said it to the point.

"That's true, but it seems like some fugitive or something!"

Zhang Liao carefully looked at the person in front of him, his eyes flashed, as if he had discovered something, and chuckled: "Fugitives? You're the one who won't talk about it, right? ”

The man's face suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted: "Don't slander people, it's just a matter of going south to save relatives." ”

After saying that, regardless of whether Zhang Liao and the others around him believed it or not, he left the team with a scolding attitude. Fortunately, there are a lot of people in line, and the inspection is strict, so there is no manpower, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that no one will come to ask. In this way, it didn't take long to see the man disappear in front of his eyes.

Zhang Liao didn't care about this, but he didn't mean to speak again, he already understood that this inspection was strict, except for the fact that the war in the state was not extinguished, I was afraid that there were some important people who had escaped.

But none of this matters, it's the most important thing to take the pot right now, and then defend him.

As everyone slowly advanced, Zhang Liao came to the pass, and one more person would be his turn.

Suddenly, a soldier guarding the gate who had been on the side came over, pointed his spear at Zhang Liao, and said, "Throw the knife and take a look!" ”

Zhang Liao's face was cold, but he didn't say much, and threw the big knife over.

The soldier was overjoyed, and he wanted to step forward to take it, not wanting to change his life.

"Do it!"

Zhang Liao shouted violently, rushed forward a few steps under his feet, and just grabbed the handle of the knife, the scabbard couldn't stop the momentum, and the big knife came out of the sheath.

The soldier was shocked and didn't react for a while, before he just looked at Zhang Liao as a ranger in the rivers and lakes, the blade in his hand should not be bad, and he wanted to take advantage of the situation to take it, which Cheng thought that Zhang Liao would actually do it because of a knife.

Zhang Liao didn't think about whether he was misunderstood, but just cut off the soldier's head with a single sword, and quickly rushed towards the dozens of other soldiers at the gate.

"Close the door!"

Although the soldiers at the gate were not panicked, they drove away the few people who opened the door and had to close the gate.

Zhang Liao's face turned pale, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, and a soldier who had wrongly let him stop him cut off his right arm and rushed straight towards the soldier who was about to close the door.

Although Zhang Liao's martial arts are not bad, in the end there is only a short knife, and there is only an inner armor, which is still given by the previous squadron captain, otherwise there is no inner armor. There were many soldiers at the gate, desperately stopping him, seeing that the surprise attack was about to fail, but the thirty soldiers who came with him also killed, almost in a few blinks, and the other party was defeated.

Zhang Liao was shocked by the strength of Gongsun Du's own soldiers, but he did not forget the business at this time, threw away the big knife, picked up a spear and stepped into the gate, and killed the soldiers who rushed to support the gate.

Thirty people want to take the gate is naturally delusional, but it is okay to delay a little. The remaining 770 pro-soldiers came quickly, and when they had sacrificed several pro-soldiers, they rushed to the gate and rushed into the gate in one fell swoop, and then the soldiers guarding the pass could no longer stop them.

Half an hour later, 1,500 soldiers guarding the pass were killed and wounded. Zhang Liao counted the losses and found that the loss was less than twenty people, which was due to the loss of seven or eight people at the beginning.

This allowed Zhang Liao to have a better understanding of the strength of Gongsun Du's own soldiers.

Taking Huguan does not mean the end, because there are more than 300 soldiers guarding Huguan who escaped from Huguan before, and then they will face attacks from the north and south of Huguan, which is quite difficult! You have to prepare early.
