Ten miles west of Yecheng City, in the camp of Guan Yan, a group of generals were chatting in the tent, very happy.

Zhang Yan and Chen Deng, who have been running the Black Mountain Army for five years, finally became a big help to Guan Yan today, Guan Yan wrote to the imperial court to entitle Zhang Yan as the general of Yulin Zhonglang, Chen Dengfeng was the court lieutenant of Jiuqing, and the newly descended Gao Lan was also appointed by Guan Yan as the general of Yamen, Luoyang had to Guan Yan to play sparsely, but two days, he sent a fast horse to send the three people's seals, and the Xi Zhicai proposed to set up a banquet to celebrate Zhang Yan and Chen Deng, Guan Yan had doubts, this Yecheng can be ten miles away, if Yuan Shao is coming, he will be killed in a moment, and now these generals gather for a feast and don't say, He also called Zhang Yan, the commander of the Yecheng North Route Army, if he missed a little, it would be extraordinary.

But Xi Zhicai told Guan Yan very firmly that there was absolutely no danger on the West Road and North Road, and out of trust in Xi Zhicai, Guan Yan held a low-key banquet in the handsome tent with peace of mind.

In the handsome tent, Guan Yan is in the main position, Xi Zhicai and Chen Deng sit on the left side of Guan Yan, Zhang Yan, Zhang Yang, Ji Ling, Zhang Liao and the newly descended Gao Lan are on the right side of Guan Yan; Zhang Yang is not a descendant of Guan Yan, but because of Ding Yuan's relationship, Zhang Yang already has a good impression of Guan Yan and admires his identity, and now coupled with Guan Yan's monstrous momentum, Zhang Yang has regarded himself as a subordinate of Guan Yan, and he has taken a fancy to this big tree, Zhang Yang naturally wants to hug it tightly.

Although Zhang Yang is martial and brave, but his personality is extremely benevolent, as an outsider, Zhang Yang also gave full play to the advantages of his character, and quickly integrated into Guan Yan's team when he pushed the cup and changed the lamp.

Guan Yan stood up, walked to Gao Ran's side alone with a wine glass and sat down, put his arm on Gao Ran's shoulder and said: "General Gao should be restrained, you can see: I treat all generals like brothers, and with the ability of a general, I should make contributions and go down in history!" ”

In history, the four major generals under Yuan Shao are known as the "Four Pillars of Hebei". Yan Liang is the first, Wen Chou is second, and then Zhang He, Gao Ran is the last. Yan Liang and Wen Chou achieved the stepping stone of Wusheng Guan Gong in the early days, Zhang He and Gao Ran took refuge in Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu, Zhang He Feng Biao General, Du Tinghou, Gao Ran Feng Biao General, Donglai Hou, both of them are deputy military positions plus marquis. This shows that at least at that time, Cao Cao did not favor that one, as for the later things, it depends on Zhang He, Gao Lan's opportunities, skills, and performance, but in the 200-year battle of Qishan in the park, Zhang He and Gao Ran cooperated to intercept Liu Bei in a ravine. Gao Ran had a bad fate and was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun, who was killed from behind the battle, and Zhang He was in no danger: Zhao Yun had a lot of energy and physical strength due to fighting for a long time, and it took thirty hours to beat Zhang He, and Zhang He was reluctantly defeated, without hurting his life or being injured. However, in this battle, Zhang He and Gao Ran guarded the important passes, but let Liu Bei go, they will definitely be reprimanded, Gao Ran took a step earlier on the road, and only Zhang He was responsible for this reprimand.

Reprimands are reprimands, but Zhang He lived a long time, when Emperor Cao Rui of Wei Ming was in power, the famous generals of the Cao family of Wei State withered, Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Xiahou brothers, etc., all died one after another, and Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Le Jin, etc., who were good generals of the five sons, also passed away one by one, and there were almost no generals who could be used. At this time, the only way to bring Zhang He out to restrain Sima Yi was that Zhang Fei in the later Bashu War, promoted to the general of the Quartet, and defeated Ma Jian in the street pavilion and so on, which made Zhang He's famous shock to the world.

Gao Ran was not proud in the hands of Yuan Shao, and it was his duty to stay in Changshan as a courtier, but Gao Ran did not have much friendship with Yuan Shao, so when he was embattled, Gao Ran chose to take refuge in Guan Yan; After a few days of understanding, Gao Ran found that Guan Yan's subordinates were even more talented, Zhang Yan, Ji Ling, Zhang Liao and even that Zhang Yang in this account are not mediocre people, I heard that there are Ju Yi and Zang Ba in Tiger Prison Pass, Xuzhou Xiaopei has Ma Teng, Ma Chao father and son, and there is a teenage doll in Yingchuan County What is Zhou Yu's thousands of soldiers and horses, and the pioneer general Pang De heard that he is also a powerful character. When others are talking, they can't interject, so they can only sit alone and drink to relieve their boredom.

Guan Yan came to talk, which attracted the attention of everyone in the tent, and they all gathered around. Chen Deng knew Guan Yan's mind best, and after taking a look at Guan Yan, he said to Gao Ran: "I have heard of General Gao's prestige for a long time, and I am fortunate to work with him today, and Deng is very lucky!" After that, Chen Deng stretched out his wine glass to Gao Ran with a smile on his face, Gao Ran understood, hurriedly stood up, raised his glass and touched Chen Deng, and the two of them raised their heads and drank it all.

Chen Deng wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, and asked Gao Ran again: "Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, is famous, and there are many talents who are famous, can the general introduce one or two?" ”

Chen Deng asked very smartly, and did not belittle Yuan Shao, after all, this is the former boss of Shi Gaoran, isn't it to belittle the old master, the tall Chen Deng in front of him, who is shrewd, instantly made Gao Ran quite good: "There are many capable people under Yuan Shao's account, Wu Youyan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He are ten thousand enemies, and Wen Youtian Feng, trial matching, and Feng Ji are gods and ghosts!" "Gao Ran said very powerful, in fact, a little selfish, just to raise himself, everyone knows, he is as famous as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, praise the three of them, in fact, it is to flaunt himself, just arrived at the new boss, of course, I hope to attract attention.

Guan Yan's advanced knowledge naturally knows how powerful Gao Ran is, but from the few civil officials he said, he remembered one person, that is Guo Tu, if I remember correctly, Zhang He and Gao Ran were framed by Guo Tu, and finally surrendered in desperation. At this time, you should beat Gao Guan more, let him do things for himself with all his heart,

Thinking of this, Guan Yan smiled: "Yan heard that there is also a strategist surnamed Guo Mingtu under Yuan Benchu's account, how talented he is, General Gao doesn't know?" ”

Hearing Guo Tu, Gao Ran grinned and said disdainfully: "Guo Gong is flattering, chaotic and affectionate, I hate it, and he is not a good talent!" ”

"I see!" Guan Yan pretended to suddenly realize, and said: "Yan heard it again, that Tian Toyota Yuan Hao Tianzi is a little strange, I don't know why I have been defeated repeatedly?" I'm afraid it's in vain! ”

Gao Ran listened, anxious, Tian Feng is upright, and resourceful, in Yuan Shao's camp, Gao Ran admires Tian Feng the most, now Tian Feng bears the infamy for Yuan Shao's defeat, Gao Ran immediately replied: "No, Tian Yuanhao has a lot of tricks, if it was for Yuan Shao's self-use, the lord would have ...... a long time ago" Gao Ran consciously lost his words, when he thought about it, he looked at Guan Yan and said: "I'm afraid the lord has long been destroyed by Yuan Shao!" ”
