"Lord, the enemy army from Shicheng has withdrawn to Taiyuan. Yan Liang will definitely be able to conquer the city easily. Then pursue the enemy forces retreating north. We don't need to worry about the garrisons evacuated from Stone City anymore, they will be overtaken by Yan Liang's iron cavalry. Jaw open.

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "You're right. ”

"General Zhang, I'm about to go to the north to intercept Gao Gan. The matter here will be handed over to you, and if there is any situation, send someone to report it at any time. Yuan Xi said.

"Yes."

Yuan Xi left the camp with the giant beasts and hurried north.

Gao Gan, who evacuated Yanmen Pass, rushed to Taiyuan on the order of Yuan Shang.

But.

Halfway through, he received a message.

There are 150,000 enemy troops in Taiyuan, and they are almost surrounded by Jinyang City. He hurried to go now, not only could he not save Yuan Shang, but even he himself would suffer. Gao Gan has always been aware of current affairs, how can he joke with his own life?

He thought about it, collected more than 40,000 stones of grain and grass on the border of Taiyuan, and went to Taihang Mountain.

"General, if we go, not only will the lord be in danger, but we will also be regarded as thieves." Zhang Nan, the vanguard general of Gao Gan, said.

"What do you think?" Gao Gan asked.

"The last general listens to the general and is willing to follow the general. Wherever the general goes, the last general will follow. Zhang Nan replied solemnly.

"Good!"

Gao Gan said: "We have more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, and after entering the mountain, we can stand on our own. It is absolutely impossible for Yuan Xi to exterminate us. Let's live a leisurely life in the mountains from now on. ”

"Just like Zhang Yan at the beginning?"

"That's right!"

Gao Gan has long had this thought.

When Zhang Yan occupied Taihang Mountain, he was very envious.

Thinking that Zhang Yan was just a yellow turban thief, after entering Taihang Mountain, he stood for ten years by risk. If he hadn't gone to Hedong County later, he would still be at ease in Taihang Mountain.

Compared with Zhang Yan, he asked himself that his strategy was better than Zhang Yan, and the soldiers and horses under his command were also more elite than Zhang Yan's soldiers and horses. Why can't you stand on your own feet?

"Let's go, let's go into the mountain immediately."

Gao Gan gathered his troops and rushed to Taihang Mountain overnight.

The mountains on the outskirts of Taiyuan were not set up by Yuan Xi's troops, so they could easily go there.

"General, general..." On the march, Zhang Nan arrived from the rear army.

"What's the matter, General Zhang?"

Zhang Nan grabbed the reins of the horse, hugged his fists and said: "The last general has just received the report, Yuan Xi led the giant beast to come, less than a hundred miles away. ”

"He's coming so fast?" Gao Gan took out the map, frowned, and said, "It's not good, we have to go into the mountain, and we have to walk for half a day." And Yuan Xi's giant beast is surprisingly fast, he won't be able to catch up with us in half a day. ”

"What then?"

Zhang Nan couldn't help but be anxious.

If they are caught up by Yuan Xi, their plan will be in vain.

Gao Gan thought for a moment and said, "You go to the rear camp to select 3,000 weak brigades and arrange a suspicious army here." After Yuan Xi arrives, attract Yuan Xi's attention, at least... Delay him for half a day, and when we enter the mountains, we will no longer be afraid of him. ”

"The general is wise." Zhang Nan's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "The last general will arrange this." ”

..............

As Gao Gan expected, Yuan Xi's giant beast marched extremely fast.

In just one hour, he arrived at the place where he had been.

"Kill..." In the distance in the mountain stream, there was a shout of killing.

Thousands of soldiers rushed over, ready to intercept Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi looked at it, had doubts, and snorted: "Thousands of people, also rushed to find death?" ”

"Little python, go over and scare them." Yuan Xi said to the Titan Python.

Hiss...

The python spat out the snake letter and slowly swam forward.

More than 1,000 people rushed here, and when they were halfway there, they were busy when they saw the incomparably large number, and immediately stopped: "Ah... Snake! Everyone was screaming.

They are here to stall for time.

The senior cadres promised them that if they succeeded in delaying for half a day, they would be rewarded heavily!

But for them, if they want to get it, they have to have a life. The giant python in front of him is less than ten meters, invulnerable, if he eats it, he can't even find the bones.

"Run..."

It is a weak brigade in the high-ranking army, a group of rabble, how dare they face the battle when they see the giant python attacking? They ran away.

The Titan Python chased for a while, but did not catch up.

He returned to Yuan Xi's side.

"Strange...."

Yuan Xi glanced into the distance, frowned, and said, "If the army of high-ranking cadres was here, I should have known about it a long time ago." Could it be that he has already withdrawn, is this just a suspicious soldier who remains? ”

If Gao Gan was here, he would definitely be surprised that Yuan Xi actually explained his intentions in one word.

"Let's not fight the enemy here, let's pursue with me!" Yuan Xi became more and more adamant in his guesses.

With a wave of his hand, the behemoths quickly followed.

After running a short distance, I met more than a thousand people. But when he was frightened by the Titan Python, he fled. Yuan Xi thought about the tens of thousands of troops who were high-level, and he didn't bother to deal with those stragglers, so he didn't even chase after them, and ran forward with all his strength.

...............

Gao Gan, who was heading to Taihang Mountain, soon learned that the suspicious soldiers he had set up did not work.

He was anxious: "If you go on like this, you will definitely be caught up by him!" ”

He called Zhang Nan and said, "The suspicious soldiers can't stop Yuan Xi." We must leave a small half of our forces behind and engage him. Cover the withdrawal of most of the troops into Taihang Mountain. ”

"Please give the general's orders, the last general is willing to stay and fight!" Zhang Nan did not hesitate.

"No, you can't stay!" Gao Gan finally had a loyal subordinate, but he was reluctant to send him to death. After arriving at Taihang Mountain, Zhang Nan still needs to train soldiers and horses, plunder and seclude.

"Why?" Zhang Nan asked.

"No, I just can't." Gao Gan called him closer: "You go to find a school captain, promise heavy profits, and ask him to lead an army of 10,000 to meet Yuan Xi." You tell him that if he can hold out for two hours, I will make him general. ”

"The Admiral understands."

Zhang Nan hurried to it.

A lieutenant was quickly found.

His name is Wang Yinshan, and he is a general who has followed Gao Gan for many years and is trustworthy.

Hearing that the senior cadres were going to be entrusted with important tasks, Wang Yinshan, who was a lieutenant colonel in the army, was very happy and said to Zhang Nan: "General Zhang, don't worry, the last general will definitely be able to stop Yuan Xi!" ”

"Okay." Zhang Nan instructed: "The general said, as long as you can stop Yuan Xi for two hours, the general will make you a general in the army." ”

"It's only been two hours?"

"What? Do you think the time is too short? Zhang Nan snorted: "Don't underestimate Yuan Xi." The giant beast he brought with him was very strong in combat. Even the general doesn't dare to be careless, how can you underestimate it? ”

Wang Yinshan arched his hand and said, "General, don't worry." The last general can stop the enemy army! ”

"Well, without further ado, you can go quickly."

"Yes."

Wang Yinshan was ordered to select 10,000 elites and find a dangerous array on the spot.

Gao Gan and Zhang Nan did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed to Taihang Mountain.
