When Zhang He and Gao Ran received the order to start preparing for war, Zhuge Jin and Yi also left the territory of Zhongguo on the order of Yuan Yao, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, Yi went to Yan State, and Zhuge Jin went to Zhao State.

Half a month later, both of them sent back the news, Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, and Yuan Tan, the king of Yan, both agreed to Yuan Yao's proposal to join forces, and were willing to form a temporary alliance with Yuan Yao to fight for Liu, of course, this alliance for Liu is very loose, after all, today's Zhongguo, Zhao and Yan are not weak, and no one wants to be pressed by others.

Therefore, Yuan Yao, Lu Bu and Yuan Tan, the three princes and kings, set a joint proposal is very simple, in general, Yuan Tan led his troops to attack Youzhou, Lu Bu led his troops to attack Jizhou, and Yuan Yao led his troops to attack Xuzhou, and the three forces sent troops together, and finally saw who would take their target territory first and enter Qingzhou first.

But this is enough, and it is also thanks to the different goals of Zhong, Zhao, and Yan now, otherwise there may be some waves.

After confirming that Lu Bu and Yuan Tan agreed to join forces, Yuan Yao acted quickly, allowing Zhang He and Gao Ran to lead the seventh and eighth legions to Xuzhou quickly. Including Zhang He and Gao Ran, they all belong to Gao Cang's dispatch. Chen Deng, Dong Zhao, Cui Jun and others in Xuzhou also have to fully cooperate with Gao Cang, and must make this first heavyweight battle after the establishment of Zhongguo come out with a beautiful result.

Zhang He and Gao Ran were not surprised by this result. Yuan Yao was already a little frightened that the two of them could lead an army alone, and now they were transferred to the two of their legions to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou, and it was understood that Yuan Yao was nostalgic for the old feelings, and wanted to let them have a wish, if they did more, Zhang He and Gao Cang would have to think more.

After Yuan Shao's death, there were four important people under Yuan Yao's command, namely Fu Zhu, Dong Zhao, Zhang He, and Gao Lan. Now these four people are all in high positions in Zhongguo. Zhang He Gaolan will not talk about the two army commanders, Dong Zhao is also the Taishou of Xiapi, of course, the highest position is still frustrated, and he has become one of the nine secretaries of Zhongguo.

This arrangement made Zhang He and the others completely let down their guard against Yuan Yao, if Yuan Yao didn't believe them, he wouldn't have put them in such an important position at all. And letting down his guard against Yuan Yao means that Zhang He Gaolan offered his loyalty to Yuan Yao.

Unlike before, the previous Zhang He and Gao Ran were willing to obey Yuan Yao's dispatch, but the current Zhang He and Gao Ran were willing to do something for the future of Zhongguo.

During the march, Zhang He drove the black-striped leopard under his crotch to Gao Ran's side, Gao Ran at this moment, riding on the back of an iron-backed brute bear, and the mountain splitting axe was also hanging aside, looking extremely fierce. It is also thanks to the fact that the black-striped leopard under Zhang He's crotch is a mutant bloodline, and his body is much taller than ordinary leopard demon beasts, so Zhang He doesn't need to look up at Gao Yan.

"Righteousness!" Seeing Zhang He coming up, Gao Ran also said hello to him.

The mounts of the two of them were obtained after Yuan Yao became the king, the secret realm of the twelve golden people was shattered, and a large number of demon beasts returned to this realm, although it caused a lot of troubles to the people, but it also made many strong people under Yuan Yao's command find suitable mounts, compared to war horses, these demon beasts have to crush ninety percent of war horses, of course, if it is compared with the neighing red rabbit horse or even the silver horse, there is no comparison.

"Boguan, what do you think of this battle?"

The two of them and their legions were transferred to Xuzhou to participate in the attack on Liu Bei, Zhang He and Gao Ran also speculated for a long time about this big battle that was about to happen, and even the two of them deduced the battle situation several times with the simple sand table they carried.

Gao Ran said: "There is no problem in Xuzhou, Guan Hai and Wu Anguo only have 40,000 troops in their hands, and we have a total of 110,000 soldiers and horses this time, unless the main general is a fool, otherwise it will not be a problem to take Xuzhou, but do you think Gao Cang is a fool?" ”

Hearing Gao Ran's words, Zhang He couldn't help but have a headache, this Gao Ran is like this, he doesn't know how to be cautious in words and deeds, he was fine when he first joined Yuan Yao's command, but now after returning to his heart, the problem is gone again. Fortunately, Gao Ran's voice was not loud, and the people around him were the personal guards of the two of them, so there should be no problem.

"Boguan, disaster comes from the mouth."

After getting Zhang He's reminder, Gao Ran smiled, and then Zhang He said: "This time, Yan and Zhao will also make a move, that is, the Han State will use the power of one country to fight the three kingdoms alone, even if there are many strong people under the command of Liu Bei, the king of Han, but it is difficult to resist, and the question now is whether we stop or continue after taking Xuzhou." ”

Zhang He's tone was a little strange at the moment, and he asked, "Boguan, do you want to stop or continue?" ”

Gao Cang stretched out his hand and touched his big axe, and said, "Of course, I hope to continue, and I hope to be able to cut off Liu Bei's thief's head with my own hands." When he talked about Liu Bei, Gao Ran's eyes were full of murderous intent that was difficult to hide.

Yuan Shao is their first loyal lord, although now under Yuan Yao's command, but under Yuan Yao's generosity, it does not affect their recognition of Yuan Shao, if they can kill Liu Bei with their own hands, I believe that whether it is Zhang He or Gao Ran, they will be very happy.

Speaking of this, Gao Ran sighed: "It's a pity, this time the main general is not me, if it is me, after taking Xuzhou, I will definitely take advantage of the situation to enter Qingzhou and behead Liu Bei under the axe." ”

Zhang He said quietly: "This time, it is the three parties who join forces, with our strength, it should not be a problem to take Xuzhou, but if you want to enter Qingzhou, I am afraid you still need to look at the strength of the other two parties." ”

Gao Ran frowned and said: "I don't know who Yan Guo and Zhao Guo are as the main generals, Yan Guo is probably the only one who can take on this important task now, Han Meng, Jiang Qi and others are still a little unqualified in the face of such a battle situation." It's just that Zhao Guo doesn't know who it will be. ”

Zhang He was much more sensitive than Gao Ran in this kind of matter, and guessed: "There should be no problem that Yan Guo is Lu Yi, as for Zhao Guo, either Zhao King Lu Bu personally attacked, or Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were one of the two." These two are the two most relied on generals under Lu Bu today, generally speaking, one is on the expedition, and the other is in charge of the state. ”。

Gao Ran smiled at the moment and said: "No matter who it is, I think Liu Bei is in danger of escaping this time, no matter how many means he has, I don't believe that in such a situation, how can he reverse the situation." ”

Looking at Gao Ran, Zhang He also laughed a few times.
