Early the next morning, Yan Liang went to Jizhou with Gao Gan, as for the defense of Hanoi, he didn't pay much attention to it at all, and simply handed over the military affairs to the deputy general, anyway, he now knows that the other party's troops are insufficient, just guarding the city, and there is no strength to attack the city at all, besides, he thinks that such a thing only needs one day is enough, even if the time on the road is not more than three days at most, even if the other party attacks, with so many troops on his side, it is always no problem to hold three days.

"Gongji, you are not in Hanoi to supervise the war, why did you return to Yecheng?" Seeing Yan Liang come back suddenly, Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and asked with a surprised face.

But saw Yan Liang saluted respectfully and said: "Lord, Liang came back this time mainly for one thing, when General Gao Gan said that Zhang He and Gao Ran betrayed the lord, Liang found that this was an unjust case after investigation, everything was from Gao Gan's slander, in fact, Zhang He and Gao Ran were fighting on the battlefield at that time, the enemy generals Pan Feng and Mu Shun were defeated, Zhang He had already seen the problem, but Gao Gan forced the two of them to chase, trying to contain the ambush with their strength, and then he led the main force to attack the city, his starting point was good, It's just a pity that his ability is too poor, with ten times the strength of the army, he didn't conquer Yewang City, and at the same time caused Zhang He and Gao Ran to be surrounded, after he retreated, not only did not help Zhang He and Gao Ran to relieve the siege, but framed them for betrayal, as a result, the lord believed him credulously and killed Zhang He and Gao Ran's whole family, they had to surrender to Pei Qing, the facts are there, this is Gao Gan's confession and painting, the lord please take a look. ”

After Yan Liang finished speaking, he handed the confession that had been painted by Gao Gan to Yuan Shao.

As soon as Yuan Shao heard this, his whole face was not good-looking, because he suddenly found that what Tian Feng said before had been verified, and Yan Liang really invited Gao Gan to go to Hanoi because of this incident, and the most speechless thing was that he even brought Gao Gan's mouth supply, which was equivalent to confirming Gao Gan's crime.

"Yuancai, this idiot, even if you really did it, you can't draw a charge on the confession, in this case, how can I exonerate you?"

Yuan Shao was secretly angry in his heart, but he couldn't say it in front of Yan Liang, he looked at Gao Gan on the side, and asked slowly: "Yuan Cai, what do you say?" ”

When Gao Gan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Uncle, I am wronged, uncle......"

"Hmph, call the lord, there are no rules at all, this is a public matter, how can it be called a private affair?"

"Nuo Nuo, my lord, the last general was wronged, in fact, the fact is what the last general said before, but in Hanoi, this Yan Liang not only didn't take me as a senior official in his eyes, but also arrested me and lynched me, under his severe torture, the last general could only be beaten into a trick, this painting was also drawn by him holding the last general's fingers, he despised the last general so much, so bold and vain, it is clear that he does not take the lord in his eyes, if such a thing is tolerated, where will there be rules in our army in the future? Please also ask the lord to punish him severely, so as to prevent similar things from happening and damage your prestige. ”

"What? Gao Gan, you ...... Is there such shamelessness in being a human being? I did do it to you at the beginning, but are you called a torture trick? Obviously, you yourself can't argue in front of the evidence, so you have to admit it. Yan Liang's face turned green when he heard Gao Gan's words, although he was indeed a little rude, but Gao Gan's answer was the truth, and now he actually retracted his confession in court, and he also beat him up, which is really hateful.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao also knew that Yan Liang was his favorite general, and this matter could not be too obvious, so he shouted at Gao Gan: "Yuan Cai, you still don't tell the truth?" What the hell is going on? Is what you're confessing to true? Tell me! ”

Gao Gan was immediately frightened when he heard this, he pondered for a while, and then said: "Lord, it was indeed the last general who treated Zhang He and Gao Ran a little roughly, it was the last general who miscalculated the strength of the enemy army, but at the beginning, Zhang He and Gao Ran combined had nearly 10,000 horses, and Xun You only had a little more people in Yewang City?" Coupled with the soldiers who need to defend the city, and he knows in advance that there will be an ambush ahead, is there no means to deal with it at all? So in this case, even if there is an ambush, how strong can the enemy army be? But even so, Zhang He and Gao Ran were still wiped out, how can this be explained? Zhang He is good at fighting, and he is known as a wise and brave character, but where is his wisdom in this battle? Where did Yong go? One of the four dignified generals, can't he deal with a few vulgar generals who were born in rural villages? The last general knows that the generals under Xun You's command are all the villagers who killed Yang Feng and Zhenggu in Hanoi at the beginning, even if they are brave, how capable can they be? Is it still possible to defeat two of the four generals in the river? ”

"Well, there is some truth in this, I think that Zhang He and Gao Ran, even if they didn't have the heart of rebellion at the beginning, but there are still passive battles, otherwise, with the strength of the two of them, how can they not deal with a few rural villagers?" Yuan Shao shook his head and said to Gao Gan: "But Yuancai, this matter is indeed caused by your too rough personality, if you didn't listen to the advice and insisted on going your own way, how could such a thing happen?" So no matter what, you still have to take some responsibility for the matter of Zhang He and Gao Ran, do you accept it when I say this? ”

"The lord, the last general, the heart is convinced, the last general was too impatient at that time, although the intention was to quickly capture the enemy city, but this impatient mood has affected the morale of the army, please punish the lord, no matter how the punishment, the last general is convinced."

Of course, Gao Gan knew that Yuan Shao was excusing him, so he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Yuan Shao pondered for a while, and then said: "Since you admit your mistake, I will naturally not be spared, and must be punished, I plan to remove you from the post of Hanoi Taishou, let you be the minister of Changshan, and at the same time fine you for three months, I hope you will take this as a warning, don't be impetuous in the future, don't let me down." ”

"No, the last general took the order, thank you Zhu Gong for your generosity, the last general will never dare to do this again in the future." Gao Gan hurriedly accepted the punishment and thanked Yuan Shao, so the matter passed with such thunder and rain.

However, Yan Liang on the side said: "Lord, this is not the case, Zhang He and Gao Ran did not slack off at that time, it was really those enemy generals who were too powerful, that Chang Chun's martial arts were very clever, even the last general was not sure of defeating him, Pan Feng and Mu Shun's martial arts were not under Zhang He and Gao Ran, Zhang He and Gao Ran fought against the three fierce generals, and they were indeed not opponents, so we can't just say that Zhang He and Gao Ran did not do their best......"
