A few days later, Guan Yu's headquarters started, and as soon as there was a move here, Yuan Tan in Linzi City got the news, and took the troops to Bochang County, Le'an Country for a day, and the army set up camp, but he didn't want to be attacked at night.

With Yuan Tan's temperament, it was not unclear that Guan Yu was likely to be a dark Chen Cang, the headquarters was in Anqiu, and he had secretly sent troops to make a detour to Linzi, so when arranging the camp, he arranged a lot of defensive measures, trapping the antlers, and even set up a horse rejection in order to deal with the dragoons, but in his sleep, he still didn't expect that in his sleep, the impregnable camp was broken in the blink of an eye, it was simply an undefended camp, and the Xuzhou army was unimpeded in the camp.

Anyone who encounters horseback, armor-piercing, and looks like a general is the target of attention, and they will be besieged and killed by dozens of people in the blink of an eye, and the soldiers in the partial camp do not have any will to resist at all, they only have the property snatched from the counties of Qingzhou, resisting large bags and small bags, and although some people pick up their blades and prepare to resist, they can see these colleagues who fled with their goods, threw their blades away, went back to pack their goods, and joined the fleeing crowd.

Against such an army, as soon as the 5,000 Langya army led by Sun Guan appeared, could it be a big killing, not much more difficult than killing pigs and sheep.

Originally, the latest order Sun Guan received was to delay Yuan Tan, so he came to steal the camp, and he didn't intend to win at all, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth, and even he couldn't believe it at the beginning, so simple to win? It can be seen that the Jizhou army lost their armor one by one, and they didn't even hold weapons in their hands, so they had no will to fight at all. I only knew that I was running for my life with a package containing all kinds of money and silk, and I faced this situation. Sun Guan would miss it, and immediately no longer planned to withdraw with one vote. Directly start the slaughter with the troops.

These fleeing Jizhou troops, as long as they don't go up to intercept them, no one cares who lives or dies, and Sun Guan simply doesn't pay attention to them, so he will deal with those who resist and have the will to fight. Mo said that it was the Jizhou army, and even the soldiers who were guarding Yuan Tan's side began to retreat, saying again and again that it was important to save his life, and then forcibly helped him onto the horse and ran away in a smoke.

On the way to escape, you can imagine how unwilling Yuan Tan is, a simple stealing camp will make him so embarrassed, and he has a deep resentment in his heart. He came to Xuzhou to prove to his father, but because of the appearance of the Xuzhou army, he was defeated, and at this moment he is the deepest person now is Liu Lan, if it weren't for him getting in the way. Qingzhou will be in his pocket.

The second is Guan Yu, it is precisely because of him that he will end up like this today. These two people are on the list of Yuan Tan's revenge, no matter how long. He vowed to avenge today's arrow.

But unfortunately, Yuan Tan, who didn't run far, was soon caught up. He didn't know who it was, but he recognized him at a glance.

The person who came was white, but his slightly narrowed eyes suddenly reminded him of Cao Cao, such people are very treacherous, looking at his smiling appearance, Yuan Tan quickly calculated in his heart, but when he planned to break out of the encirclement, he was ruthlessly attacked, and in the face of the siege of the Xuzhou army, instead of breaking out of the encirclement, he ended up being captured on the spot.

He should have thought that such a treacherous person, since he appeared, would never leave him with any possibility of escape, facing the ridicule of the enemy general, Yuan Tan lowered his head and said nothing.

At this time, he wanted to end himself more, but he didn't have the courage, he always remembered what Hua Yan said to him, as long as he lived, he was the eldest son and inherited his father, there was still a chance, but if he died on the battlefield, it would be equivalent to giving everything away.

"Grand Master Yuan, let's go back to Linzi again, shall we?" Sun Guan said politely, and even had a little bit of invitation, but this was just a polite gesture, and he didn't give him any right to choose at all, but Yuan Tan Ke was a little fluttering, he took this politeness as it should be, and today, who dared not to give him face, the eldest son of the Yuan family.

But he didn't know that the name of the Yuan family was indeed a little thin in the world, but this did not include Liu Lan and Gongsun Zhan, or even Cao Cao.

But how can a political idiot like him understand, whether it is the so-called Southern Alliance or the Northern Alliance, it is actually out of interest considerations, and whether it is Liu Lan, Gongsun Zan or Cao Cao, how can the two brothers of the Yuan family be seriously obedient, this is the same as the current Sun Guan being polite to him, completely for his own purposes, but if this is changed to his father Yuan Shao, he will definitely be able to know, but if he is replaced, it will be a little worse, and at this moment he really thinks that Liu Lan is like Cao Cao is a dog raised by his uncle (father).

So when Sun Guan behaved extremely politely, and didn't treat him as a prisoner at all in his eyes, he was glad that he didn't have the impulse to commit suicide before, and Cheng Ren rushed to rejoice, yes, if he was defeated, he was also defeated by his uncle Yuan Shu, and it was all the Yuan family, how could he just kill me, and lose to my uncle, what is there to be ashamed of.

Yuan Tan put on the demeanor of the son of the Yuan family, this is just that he has a young master's temper in Sun Guan, it's not a big deal, there is no need to offend him and offend Yuan Shao behind him, his current idea is still to do things and leave a line to see in the future, after all, Yuan Shao's power is too huge, keep people and affection at the moment, and maybe he can be treated well in the future, otherwise, if he changes someone, Sun Guan will be polite to him? The morning slap went up.

Sun Guan has always had doubts, and he has some complaints about Zang Ba's original choice, but after seeing Yuan Tan's son-in-law, he began to be relieved, it is indeed better to stay in Xuzhou with this kind of person, especially these days he has seen Yuan Tan's atrocities with his own eyes, after this so-called wealthy family, it is much more ruthless than them, compared with them, they can only be regarded as robbing the rich and helping the poor at most, it is really unimaginable, how can such a family have such a great reputation in the world.

It seems that what Xuan Gao said is not bad at all, it seems that such people, even if they do anything that hurts heaven and reason, they will become righteous, even if they do the right thing for heaven. Instead, he became a sin and bore all the notoriety. That's where the injustice of the world lies, what they say. It's not as good as a fart of the family.

Thinking of this, Sun Guan Huoran turned around and raised his voice to order: "Pass my general order and collect troops into Linzi!" ”

"Whoa!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The front is the Wenshui Ferry, after the ferry, there is a three-day journey to the north to reach Xi County." Liu Lan said to Chen Guo beside him, he has walked back and forth many times on this road, and he is very familiar with it, but this time it is very different from before. In the past, when he came to Qingzhou, he was a guest, completely from the perspective of a guest, but he just felt that Qingzhou was desolate, but now he came to Qingzhou as a host, but he found that the white bones were exposed everywhere in the four wilds, and the traces of people were wiped out, and the lifeless appearance was more desolate than that of Xuzhou.

"Alas. No wonder Wang Xiuhui made a special trip to write a letter, the current situation in Qingzhou is really difficult for the people, and the land is thousands of miles away. ”

"Lord, Qingzhou has been in the military for a long time before it is what it is now. Once it settles down, it won't be long before it will regain its vitality like Xuzhou. ”

"It's hard." Liu Lan shook his head, he valued Qingzhou. I just hope to make Qingzhou a trench at the north gate of Xuzhou, but this trench is biased and there is no danger to defend. He was a little hesitant now, and he didn't know if his decision was right or wrong. But when I think of Huangxian County, I think that in order to have better and greater development in the future, Qingzhou must be taken even if it is an undefended trench.

Chen Guo couldn't speak on these topics, so he diverted the topic and said, "Lord, do you really plan to build another dragoon light cavalry army?" Yesterday, the lord talked about this in front of him, Chen Guo didn't dare to say anything at that time, and after going back, he tossed and turned and thought all night, and he couldn't say that he had come up with a safe way, but he also had a little idea of his own, his expression was very serious, and he said: "The dragoon army has always been imitating the military system of the Northern Army, but the fish scale armor worn by the Northern Army has been replaced with dragoon armor, and the ordinary longbow has been replaced by a cheap iron bow, and it has cost a lot of money to create a set of armor for the war horse, which makes the dragoon heavy armor army increase its combat effectiveness when attacking, But the same weight makes it impossible for the dragoons to fight for a long time, and the horses cannot carry the weight for a long time, if you want to establish the dragoon light cavalry, then everything must be simple, first of all, the war horses must be unarmed, the iron bow must be replaced with ordinary longbows, and even the spears can not be carried, just use the ring hand knife. ”

"Your statement, when the Dragoon Army was first built, it was like this, and after a battle, the battle damage was too great." Liu Lan looked at the horizontal surface in front of him and said with a smile: "Do you know what Yun Chang put forward later, that is, to distribute silk underwear to each dragoon in the leather armor to reduce the casualties caused by the Hu people's cavalry."

"So that's the case, no wonder now our soldiers are required to wear silk underwear." Chen Guo sighed, what kind of idea did he think about all night, the lord he had already thought of it, if he wanted to think of it like General Guan, he had to think of something that others couldn't think of, he immediately lowered his head, and looked ashamed, he must not be as hasty as today in the future, and he must come up with an answer that satisfies the lord.

Liu Lan noticed the change in Chen Guo, and said with a smile: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, I didn't test you yesterday, I just wanted to hear your opinion, in fact, I already have some ideas: "Light cavalry, the simpler the better, and Ou Yejian has improved the crossbow machine, and it is completely possible to remove the big bow and replace it with a crossbow machine." ”

"Bow rider becomes crossbow rider?"

Chen Guo's eyes lit up.

"Yes, that's my idea, the crossbow cavalry will inevitably be more flexible and mobile than the bow cavalry, but if it is formed, there has been no suitable candidate, Zhong Kangyong is brave, but he is more suitable to lead the personal guard cavalry, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have their own control, unless Zhao Yun is allowed to hold two positions."

"Has the lord forgotten General Junyi?"

"It's a pity that I've already asked Junyi to form a halberd again, otherwise he will be very suitable at that time!"

Liu Lan's face was heavy, if he could get Tai Shi Ci here, this candidate would be solved, but unfortunately, it was impossible for Tai Shi Ci to come for a while, so he could only ......

Suddenly, Liu Lan's eyes flashed slightly. Obviously, he thought of the candidate again, and said with a smile: "I have always set my eyes on Xuzhou, but I have let go of the old brothers in Liaodong." ”

Chen Guo didn't know much about the generals and officials in Liaodong, and he didn't dare to say much.

"That's it." After making up his mind, Liu Lan looked in the direction of Liaodong and said with a smile: "These boys have been in Liaodong for so many years, it's time for them to come to Xuzhou to see and see." "In this world, if you want to be famous, you have to come to the Central Plains, in Liaodong, no one knows if you are unknown, even if it is Xu Huang, who was more famous back then, but after so many years, he was almost forgotten, but he can't be easily transferred, after all, he is not familiar with the situation in Liaodong, and when he is familiar, he doesn't know how long it will take.

After a series of hurries, Liu Lan and his entourage finally entered Beihai County, which was not far from Xi County, but it was only a long time, but they found that Beihai was already desolate, and even birds and beasts were extinct.

Liu Lan sighed, the Central Plains battlefield is different from Liaodong Youbeiping, where it is sparsely populated, and most of the only people live in the county seat, but in the Qingxu area, there are many people living in the pavilion.

And Beihai County, which is one of the counties in Qingzhou that has been plagued the least number of times since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, is relatively wealthy compared to other counties.

With such a mood, Liu Lan rushed to the county, and people could be seen entering the city everywhere outside the city, and on the side of the city, there was a large camp erected by the Xuzhou army.

It was not until this moment that Liu Lan finally saw some popularity, Guan Yu and others who got the news early in the morning opened the camp gate to greet them, and the cheers sounded at the moment when Liu Lan appeared, Liu Lan waved to the dragoons and walked into the camp tent, side by side with Guan Yu, and walked towards the main camp with the generals.

"Yun Chang, I came in a hurry all the way, and I didn't have a good rest, so I sent someone to arrange some food and accommodation for them first."

"Don't worry, my lord, it's ready early in the morning."

"That's good."

While speaking, several people have come to the main tent of the camp, which Guan Yu specially erected for Liu Lan, originally planned to let the lord rest first after the army was seen, but Liu Lan did not let them leave in a hurry, and he had some things to explain.

The first thing is to take back Linzi, and then to capture Yuan Tan alive, just a Wen Chou, he was worried about the lack of bargaining chips with Yuan Shao, and ordered Guan Yu to send troops to Linzi as soon as possible, but before he finished speaking, Guan Yu reported a great joy, Linzi has been captured by Sun Guan, and Yuan Tan has been captured, if it weren't for the fact that the lord would arrive today, they would have already opened into Linzi.

After getting this news, Liu Lan waved everyone away, but he left Guan Yu alone, planning to talk to him about appointing Zang Ba as the assassin of Qingzhou during the meal. (To be continued.) )
