When Zhang Liao heard this, he sank slightly, and said: "I know that this move is inconsiderate, but at that time, I saw that Cao Cao was in front of the battle, so I thought that I could take the opportunity to greatly frustrate his spirit and shake his determination. Now that Yuan Shao has been sent back to Yan Liang, if my guess is correct, after this battle, Cao Cao will soon withdraw his army. ”

"Eh, what else can I say with such a wayward general as you?" Gao Ran listened, and secretly felt a shock in his heart, but although he admired Zhang Liao's courage and courage, as well as the ability to adapt to changes, he still refused to spare people in his mouth, and said helplessly.

General Gao was furious. This is all the incompetence of our generals, otherwise why would General Zhang take the risk of fighting! Seeing this, he hurriedly spoke for Zhang Liao.

When Gao Ran heard this, he immediately glared and shouted: "That's naturally it!" Fortunately, General Zhang is fine, otherwise Lao Tzu would not be able to spare you~!! ”

Zhang Liao saw it, couldn't help frowning, and said, "Okay." I'll pay more attention next time, Gao Boyang, you should stop here. ”

Gao Ran listened, but he was still angry, and said, "You'd better do what you say!" ”

Seeing that Gao Ran was so presumptuous, Zhang Liao, who knew that he was at a loss, was not good at drinking, and smiled helplessly.

And so the night passed. The next day, Zhang Liao led his troops to see the movements of Cao's army early, but saw that Cao's army showed no signs of withdrawing, but secretly moved the camp for several miles last night, showing that he wanted to press forward step by step and fight a decisive battle to the end.

Zhang Liao frowned when he saw it, but Gao Ran saw it, but said with a smile: "Haha, what a treacherous Cao Cao, this person deserves to be called a traitorous male, he deliberately put on a momentum of desperate pressing, but secretly waiting for the opportunity to withdraw." In a few days, if he went to investigate again, his camp would be empty, because his soldiers and horses had already withdrawn overnight in the night~! ”

Gao Ran seemed to see Cao Cao's intentions at a glance, and said with a sneer. When Zhang Liao heard this, he groaned.

Seeing this, Gao Ran also frowned and said, "What?" General, you don't believe me? ”

"Cao Cao is unfathomable, and even the lord is extremely jealous of him, saying that this person is a rare peerless hero in ancient and modern times, but if he is right, he must not be careless. Moreover, his military sacrificial wine drama Zhicai was originally his military advisor, but because he offended the world's family when he was in Yingchuan, he was demoted to sacrificial wine. This man is said to be resourceful and good at tricks. And he is the senior brother of that Guo Ghost Cai. These two masters and servants are not ordinary people, so it's better for us to be more careful! Zhang Liao said with a deep expression, or Cao Jun's strange and unexpected behavior, which made him suddenly feel flustered.

Gao Ran's face was solemn, and he couldn't help but say, "General Zhang, didn't you find something?" ”

Zhang Liao shook his head and said cautiously: "I haven't noticed it yet, but I always feel that this matter is not so simple. But just in case, it is better to pass the order down, and the soldiers in the teaching camp, from today onwards, step up their precautions, just in case! ”

"What!? Cao Cao bluffed, and now he wanted to secretly reorganize the army, so he waited for the night when he withdrew his troops and went to fight. Why do you have to step up your precautions, and waste the soldiers' bodies!? Gao Ran listened, but he didn't know what Zhang Liao was doing, and hurriedly asked.

Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't be impatient yet, otherwise you will only fall for Cao Cao's tricks!" ”

Seeing this, Gao Ran's color changed, but he was not convinced.

However, it was said that after another two days, the camp of the Cao army was moved another five or six miles at this time, and the camp of the two armies was only less than six or seven miles away from now.

This night, Gao Ran thought that Cao Jun might have withdrawn most of them at this time, and he would not go to attack and cover up the killing, but he missed the great opportunity to capture Cao Cao, a traitorous male, so he hurried to Zhang Liao's tent to meet him.

"General Zhang!! At this time, if you don't fight again and let Cao Cao escape, you will regret it~! Gao Ran said with an impatient look on his face.

Zhang Liao was watching the art of war, and listened to Gao Ran's words, but he was unmoved.

"General Zhang~~!!" Gao Ran saw that Zhang Liao didn't pay attention to it, and couldn't help but be furious, and drank again. Zhang Liao's expression froze slightly, and he said sharply: "Didn't I say before, don't act rashly, not to mention that our army is on guard during the day, for several days, and now they are tired, even if you expect it, how can you have the body to attack Cao's army?" But what if the enemy counterattacks!? ”

"You can rest assured, general! Earlier, I had secretly discussed with Zheng Gu and asked him to choose the elite to rest in turn, and now I have secretly prepared 800 elites, all of whom are full of energy, even if I kill him for a day and a night, it will be fine!! "Or this time Gao Ran was indeed forced by Zhang Liao, he has always been decent, but he did such a thing beyond his authority.

Sure enough, when Zhang Liao heard this, he couldn't help but turn cold, and slapped the case violently, and said angrily: "Gao Boyang, you are such a big dog, you violated my order, and you were so wantonly transferred, and even instigated your subordinates, you can know that if you rely on military law, even if you have ten dog lives, it is not enough to kill~!! ”

"General Zhang!! You also know that I have never overstepped my authority and made mistakes, but this time I dare to guarantee with my head that Cao Cao is bluffing, and you also trusted me in the past, why don't you listen to me this time!! Gao Ran said with a fierce voice.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao knew that Gao Ran this person admitted death, and he was stubborn, once he decided on something, it would be difficult to change, and he knew that if he didn't let his heart die this time, he was afraid that he would put his mind on this. And Zhang Liao himself felt a little guilty, but it was he who concluded that Cao Jun would definitely withdraw, and it was likely that this also affected Gao Lan's judgment.

Of course, Zhang Liaoda can punish Gao Lan's crime according to the military degree. But Gao Ran is Zhang Liao's right-hand man after all, and now that the war is imminent, Zhang Liao needs Gao Liao's assistance. Moreover, the two have worked together to defend Hedong over the years, and after countless wars, the relationship between the two is deep, but they are also like brothers and sisters.

Therefore, in public and private, Zhang Liao had no intention of severely punishing Gao Lan.

"Hmph, it seems that you are not immortal if you don't have the heart of the Yellow River. How dare you bet with me? Zhang Liao said suddenly. When Gao Ran heard this, he immediately changed color and frowned even more.

It can be seen that Zhang Liao, who has a strict and cautious style, has never liked gambling, and now he has turned to gamble, and it is still at such a critical time.

Gao Ran was suspicious, and after muttering for a while, he was very confident in seeing through Cao Cao's tricks and couldn't help but be shocked: "Okay! Let's talk about how to gamble! ”

"If you can win tonight, and you can guarantee that the elite you bring will only be half of the casualties, and my position as the main general will be given to you Gao Boyang immediately. But if you fall for it, what should you do!? ”

I only listened to Zhang Liaohe's powerful words, and his eyes were impressive. When Gao Ran heard this, his complexion changed, and after muttering for a while, he still didn't change his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" If I fall for the scheme, you will behead me to prove your military degree!! ”

"Hmph, the big war is coming, if you don't kill the lieutenant general, if you are tricked, but I will spare your life first, and then give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, what about it?" Zhang Liao snorted coldly, his confident appearance hit Gao Ran's confidence. Gao Ran's brows furrowed, and after a promise, he retreated.

That night, it was the time of the third watch. Gao Ran's eight hundred elites rushed out of the camp and were attacking the Cao army's camp.

Or because of Zhang Liao's words, Gao Ran couldn't help but be a little more cautious, and he did not lead his troops to rush away, but took advantage of the night, step by step, to rush to the Cao army's camp, and the closer he got closer, the more cautious he became, and taught his generals to be more cautious, so as not to disturb the enemy and be attacked.

But he said that he saw that Gao Ran came to Cao Cao's camp about four or five miles, and it was almost the fourth watch. Cao Hong, who had been secretly ambushed in the camp for a long time, could vaguely hear the movement, and at this time, there were scouts who came to report, saying that the enemy army was coming, thinking that Zhang Liao was planning to attack him, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

So Cao Hong waited patiently, and soon heard a report from the scouts in front of him that the enemy army was about 500 paces outside the camp. When Cao Hong heard this, his expression was shocked, and he shouted: "Hahaha~~!! Zhang Wenyuan, you are not in the plan this time~!? The archer listened to the order and caught them off guard first~!! As soon as Cao Hong's order fell, countless fires suddenly flashed in the camp, and the bows and hands rushed out together, and they shot indiscriminately, only to see rockets suddenly rise, and it suddenly rained fire between heaven and earth.

Gao Ran, who was rushing to see that the enemy army was in ambush, suddenly changed color, and hurriedly drank carefully, and at the same time secretly rejoiced, under Zhang Liao's reminder, he was secretly careful, otherwise if he came in a hurry, I am afraid that he would have been shot on his back this time.

Under Gao Ran's cheers, he hurriedly deployed his weapons and fired the rockets that flew down. At this moment, the heavens and the earth were illuminated brightly for a while.

"Report~!! The enemy army does not have many troops, it seems that there are less than a thousand people~! At this time, another scout came to Cao Hong to report. When Cao Hong heard this, his eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "What!? Lao Tzu also has a brother, and after staying up for a few nights, he only caught less than a thousand enemy soldiers~!? What about most of Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses!? ”

"General Hui, I just made a detailed report, saying that most of Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses are still standing still in the camp~!!"

"Fuck ~~!! Kill all the enemy troops, and leave no one behind~!! Otherwise, I can't swallow this evil breath~~!! Cao Hong roared angrily, like an angry beast. As a result, the Cao army's camp soon erupted in a burst of killings. Soon after, I saw Cao Hong leading thousands of soldiers and horses to rush out.

At this time, Gao Ran knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned his horse to lead the troops to flee for his life. Cao Hong chased after the attack, scolding endlessly, looking at the menacing and angry situation, it seemed that he had to kill Gao Ran, a cadre, before he was willing to be willing~!

"Wow~~!! Wait for the rats to leave~~!! Come and fight me~~!! Come on~~!!! Cao Hong scolded and roared with all his might, listening to this momentum, it was not terrible. His deployments also roared and roared, and just listening to the momentum was enough to make people frightened.

"Thief Laozi, I should have listened to Zhang Wenyuan's words if I knew it!! Otherwise, they wouldn't have been killed by this group of jackals. Gao Ran looked back anxiously, it was already the fifth watch, the sky was getting brighter, and he saw Cao Hong leading troops to kill wildly, and he was murderous. Rao is Gao Ran, and his heart was also frightened.

At the same time, Cao Cao, who got the news, was afraid that he had already prepared for the future of Zhang Liao, but he was tempting Cao Hong, fearing that he would lose, and immediately sent Xiahoudun and Yu Ban to lead light cavalry to help in the battle.

Soon, as the sun rose. Heaven and earth are bright. In other words, Cao Hong led his troops all the way to pounce, and saw that the cavalry department in his army was about to catch up with Gao Ran and others. At this moment, there was a sudden drum beating, and I saw a group of thousands of soldiers and horses rushing not far away.
