After Gao Gan found out that it was the enemy army, he hurriedly led the army to retreat, and the soldiers rushed to escape, trampling on each other and killing thousands of people, but fortunately, Xun You did not order to continue the pursuit, which gave him a chance to breathe.

"Sir, why don't we take advantage of the victory? I believe that if we take advantage of the situation to march, it will not be a problem for us to capture the county seat of Gaogan's old nest, why did we order Mingjin to withdraw the troops? ”

After the end of the war, Chang Chun, Pan Feng, Mu Shun and others, who were still unsatisfied, all asked Xun You with doubts on their faces.

Although Xun You is now the chief general in the army, they are all used to calling Xun You Mr. according to the old title.

Xun You didn't care about the difference in titles, he explained with a smile: "If we want to capture Huai County, we can actually capture it a long time ago, but it doesn't make much sense to capture Huai County, we are not suitable to occupy the entire Hanoi because of the problem of troops and materials, because this will cause our supply line to be too long, and it will also weaken our defense of Yewang City, after all, on the side of our couch, there is still a gentleman eyeing over, once our main force leaves Yewang City, There will be people who outflank our back road and plot against Yewang City, which is the beginning of our disaster at that time, so we just stick to Yewang City, and at the same time make Yuan Shaojun think that we are actually nothing more than that, but their luck is not good, or the people they sent are incompetent, so they will continue to send troops here to recruit us, and we also happen to use this to constantly weaken his strength, Yuan Shao is a slow reaction person, and by the time he reacts, everything is already too late. ”

Pan Feng and Mu Shun suddenly had big heads after hearing this, and hurriedly said with admiration: "It turns out that there are so many Taoists here, you scholars really have too many ghost ideas, it's just that, I don't need to think about fighting in the future, how Mr. asks us to fight, we can just fight, let us dance with knives and guns, let us use our brains?" I can't think of so many things even if I am killed. ”

But Chang Chun was thoughtful, after all, he was no longer the reckless mind he had before, his current intelligence had reached 83 points, and such a high intelligence would naturally be touched after hearing Xun You's words, triggering thinking.

"There is another point that the last general doesn't understand, Yewang City is very important to us, but this time Mr. actually dispatched more than eighty percent of the troops to deal with Zhang He and Gao Lan, leaving less than twenty percent of the troops to defend Yewang City, and most of these defenders are old, weak, sick and disabled, why does Sir have such a certainty to be able to defend Yewang City? Could it be that the gentleman trusts the young man who went to the crowd to go to the crowd like this? Chang Chun didn't understand Xun You's approach from the beginning, but now he couldn't hold it back, so he asked.

But seeing Xun You's face suddenly changed, he said very respectfully: "Actually, I didn't know that Hao Bodao would have such a ability, but this is a talent recommended by the lord, the lord personally transferred him to Hanoi, and specially handed over to Xun Mou, and paid Hao Zhao the responsibility of fully leading the city, in fact, at the beginning when I received the order, Xun Mou's heart still had a slight resistance, but it was not until today that I finally understood that the lord was so prescient, he said that Hao Zhao has a strong defensive ability, then he really has, With only one or two thousand weak brigades against more than 10,000 high-ranking cadres, such a disparity in the proportion not only did he not lose, but on the contrary won a big victory, such a desperately strong defensive capability, I am also ashamed of myself. ”

"Haha, the lord knows that people are good at their duties, which is also a great blessing for us, because in this way, as long as we have the ability, we will definitely be able to have room to display in the future, and we will definitely get the favor of the lord one day."

After Xun You's words, Chang Chun and they were all extremely proud in their hearts, combined with their life experiences, they were even more fortunate to be able to meet such a master, and under the cultivation of this master, their abilities were reborn, and then they made great achievements.

And just when they were happy, there was indeed a chaos in Gao Gan, first the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were killed, and then Zhang He and Gao Ran were captured, and the fact that they attacked the city with nearly ten times the strength and finally returned with a fiasco further hit the confidence and morale of the whole army, and now the morale of the army is extremely low, and the soldiers are miserable, and because of the previous war, many of their robes and fathers and sons and brothers shed blood on the battlefield, which makes the hearts of those soldiers who have lost their relatives and robes extremely painful.

Gao Ran also hurriedly wrote a letter to Yuan Shao, falsely accusing Zhang He and Gao Ran of defecting, resulting in a big defeat for their own side, and asking Yuan Shao to take revenge on Zhang He and Gao Lan's family. ’

This is actually a very ridiculous idea, but I didn't expect Yuan Shao, who was in Yecheng, to really follow Gao Gan's advice, and Yuan Shao, who was furious, immediately ordered to arrest Zhang He and Gao Ran's family members, all the men were killed, and all the women were used as official slaves.

"I really didn't expect this Zhang He and Gao Ran to do such a thing, it's really a despicable and shameless villain's behavior! It's a pity that these two thieves are not here now, otherwise I would have told them to capture them and let them be tortured to death!" ”

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and scolded.

At this time, he saw the strategist Guo Tu and said: "At the beginning, Tu reminded Zhu Gong not to use a general like Zhang He Gaolan, since they were able to give up Han Fu and return to the lord, they dare to give up the lord for their own selfish interests." Therefore, Xia Guan suggested that the recognition of Zhang He and Gao Ran at the beginning should not be just counted, and they should be punished accordingly if they made a mistake in recommending talents, so as to set an example. ”

Yuan Shao thought it was true after hearing this, so he ordered that the strategists who had recommended Zhang He and Gao Ran be punished for three months, and the strategists were fined for half a year to set an example, and at the same time decided to appoint the general Yan Liang as a general, and led 10,000 people to Hanoi to succeed the post of Hanoi Taishou, as for his nephew Gao Gan, although he fought two defeats, but the crime was not his, so he ordered the cane to punish the forty military sticks, and according to the relevant regulations, Gao Gan could be allowed to give food and cloth instead of punishment.

However, in any case, Gao Gan was no longer suitable to stay in Hanoi, so Yuan Shao appointed Gao Gan as the Taishou of Hejian, and asked him to reflect on his own mistakes in Hejian first, and then transfer him to another place to be a high-ranking official when the opportunity was right.

So this matter passed with such thunder and rain, and the only result was that Zhang He and Gao Lan's family suffered bad luck, and Yan Liang took office and became his Hanoi Taishou, not thinking about whether he would also suffer defeat like Gao Gan.
