Chapter 300: The servant of the Gao family
"Pass on my order to confiscate all the family property of these families, and then there is a family headed by the Zhao family, who has meritorious service in protecting the city, and can take one-third of it. A group of soldiers fought to the death to kill the enemy, took out five of them, rewarded them for meritorious deeds, and distributed them to those who had meritorious service. The remaining two are included for public use. Zhongye, executed on the spot, and then sent someone to raid my house!! As soon as the sound of Ma Zongheng's order came out, there were joys and sorrows, but it was also clear rewards and punishments, and the surrounding people listened to it, and couldn't help but sigh that Ma Zongheng acted vigorously and resolutely, but it was fair, and there were also joys and fears.
Those people from the family, as soon as they heard Ma Zongheng's decision, some were so frightened that they were paralyzed on the spot, some still refused to give up, begging for mercy with a sad face, and some scolded angrily unwillingly.
Ma Zongheng ignored it, looked at it coldly, Wen Ping did not dare to slack off, and urgently ordered the soldiers to start execution, so that more than six or seven hundred people were all beheaded, and one by one the heads of the bloody Linlin fell to the ground, and the city suddenly became silent, looking at the expanding pool of blood.
At the same time that Ma Zongheng solved the difficulty of Changyuan, on the other side of the river, there were also wars. However, it was said that Yuan Shao, in the name of aiding Liu Dai, sent his general Yan Liang to lead more than 10,000 elite soldiers, as well as more than 6,000 people from Wang Fang's army, a total of 16,000 troops, to kill from Hanoi to Hedong. Zhang Liao, who was guarding Hedong, was not in a hurry to meet the attack, but strengthened his defenses in Anyi and reorganized his troops and horses. So Yan Liang led his troops to attack all the way, and the Hedong families from all over the country saw that Yuan Shao's army was powerful, and they all had the heart to join him, and they echoed one after another. Because of this, Yan Liang only took twelve cities and counties in a row within three days, and the sound shook Hedong, and seeing that Zhang Liao could not defend it, he thought that he was cowardly and cowardly, and did not listen to the persuasion of his subordinates, so he hurriedly led the army to Anyi, intending to break Zhang Liao's army as soon as possible and take Hedong.
On this day, he went up to the enemy tower at the east gate of Anyi. Zhang Liao heard that the scout had come to report that Yan Liang had sent Wang Fang to be the vanguard, with a total of 6,000 soldiers, who had come to dozens of miles outside the city of Anyi and were camping and reorganizing.
"Hmph, Yan Liang thinks that he is a noble soldier, but he doesn't know that we are deliberately making him proud and complacent, so he gave up this large piece of land east of the river. However, at present, the entire Hedong is saying that the general is cowardly and not enough to defend Hedong, and the people in Anyi City have also begun to panic, on the contrary, Na Yan Liang has those families who secretly help each other, and now his prestige is so high that he even overshadows the lord. If you can't rush for a while, I'm afraid that sooner or later there will be chaos! Although Gao Ran said it very strictly, the corners of his mouth curled up with a strange smile.
When Zhang Liao heard this, his face was cold, and he replied very firmly: "It is precisely because of Yan Liang's pride that he thought that Wang Fang's subordinates alone could deal with us and others, and he was sent as a pioneer, as you said, it's time to take it for a while!" ”
"You are the main general, and I will come out!"
"No, didn't Yan Liang say that I was cowardly? If you want to boost the morale of the three armed forces, I should take this one! ”
Zhang Liaoshi's eyes shot out two fine lights, Gao Ran listened, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Then I won't fight with you." ”
When Zhang Liao heard this, he silently cast a look at Gao Ran and said, "Do you know what's going on." ”
"Haha, there is no shortage of strategists under Yan Liang's command, and if he doesn't know it, he still doesn't know it." Gao Ran smiled again inexplicably. Zhang Liao only nodded slightly, did not answer, turned around and left.
At noon, Zhang Liao led his troops out of the city, marched all the way quickly, and killed Wang Fang's army before and after, and immediately set up a formation, beating drums and fighting.
When Wang Fang heard that Zhang Liao was coming, he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly came to visit him surrounded by the generals, and was listening to Zhang Liao's shouting.
"Zhang Wenyuan is here, Wang Fang's dog thief will come out and fight with me quickly!!"
When Wang Fang heard this, he glared at him and shouted: "Zhang Wenyuan, my lord is quite brave and brave, and I have the heart to accept you as my command, and now Hedong has become my lord's bag, why don't you know how to be interested, quickly let Anyi come, and lead the troops to vote!?" ”
"Hmph, the dog thief who sells his lord for glory, he knows the value of loyalty and righteousness, nonsense novels, come and fight!!" Zhang Liao snorted coldly, not daring to lose face at all. When Wang Fang heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, and shouted urgently: "Whoever dares to go out to capture this madman for me, I will have a heavy reward!" ”
As soon as Wang Fang's order came out, one of his fierce generals intended to make meritorious contributions, and he immediately shook his face and raised his sword to kill his horse. Seeing this, Zhang Liao snorted coldly, patted the horses, and greeted them suddenly. The two Huo is confrontation, less than three together, it will be cut in two by Zhang Liao's halberd, that is the rumored coward, it is clearly a fierce lion that swallows people!
Just when Zhang Liao wanted to save face and was in a hurry for a while.
On the other side, in the city of Anyi.
However, it was said that not long after Zhang Liao led his troops away, there was a sudden sound of killing outside the city, and he saw a light cavalry of more than 1,000 people rushing to kill.
The first general galloped to the city, only to see him wearing a horned golden helmet, his body was huge, like a big bull, and he shouted: "Gao Boyang, you thief, do you remember me!?" ”
When Gao Ran, who was in the city, heard this, his face suddenly changed, his eyes suddenly became cold, and he said: "It turned out to be Gao Gongzi, how dare the villain forget the kindness of the child!" ”
This person is Yuan Shao's nephew, and Gao Gan is also. It is said that this Gao Gan is a famous family, his grandfather Gao Ci, once served as the captain of the school, and his father Gao bowed, once served as the Taishou of Shu County, and was a famous family in the north pole. Since his grandfather's three generations, Gao Ran has been a diner of the Gao family, and later because Gao Ran's father had saved Gao Bow, he was given the name Gao, so far the original surname is not mentioned. However, later because he coveted his father's concubine and accused his father of stealing, he beat his father to death with a stick. Fortunately, Gao Ran, who was young at the time, was clever and left the Gao family with his mother earlier. His mother taught Gao Ran to change his surname, but Gao Ran was unwilling, he said that the hatred of killing his father was not shared, and he wanted to leave the surname Gao, which was to remind himself not to forget his father's hatred!
However, Gao Ran's magical powers are vast, and Gao Ran and his mother have escaped the pursuit of the Gao family's forces. And his mother, in order to keep Gao Ran, said to Gao Ran that the young Gao Ran didn't know anything, and was willing to promise death, saying that he was hit by the wall and died. Gao Ran realized that he had caused a catastrophe, remembering the life-saving grace of his subordinates in the past, and seeing that Gao Ran was young and ignorant, he left Gao Ran's life, and let him be Gao Gan's personal entourage. Later, Gao Ran was appreciated by Yuan Shao and was able to get rid of the Gao family's control.
"Hmph, just remember, why don't you get down and see me!!" Gao Gan listened and shouted coldly.
And Gao Ran was thinking about the drastic changes in his family at this time, and the murderous intent in his eyes was terrifying, almost showing his feet, and after reacting, he was quickly shocked and shouted: "You and I are now our own masters, and I am not your former retinue, if you dare to insult again, be careful that I take your head!" ”
"Hahaha, I'm afraid that your little entourage won't dare!!" Gao Gan laughed secretly when he heard this, and he was angry again.
Gao Ran let out a loud shout, and immediately summoned the city to deploy and prepare for battle.
When he was young, the city gate was opened, and Gao Ran led the troops to rush out, and immediately set up a formation. Gao Gan was not slacking off, he danced a long knife in his hand, slapped his horse out of battle, and shouted: "Gao Boyang's nonsense novel, come and fight with me first, see if your kung fu progresses!" ”
It turned out that Gao Gan was also like brothers and sisters when he treated Gao Ran, and the two apprenticed to practice martial arts together, but Gao Gan didn't know that Gao Ran hated his Gao family for killing his father.
"Humph! You were not as good as me back then, and you dared to say such big things!! Gao Ran snorted coldly, and also slapped his horse to kill. In fact, he had guessed earlier that Yuan Shao would definitely send this senior cadre here, after all, a few years ago, Yuan Shao married Gao Ying, Gao Ci's youngest daughter, in order to consolidate his power in Hebei. Although this Gao Ying is Gao Gong's own sister, when she heard that she was married to Yuan Shao, she was only twenty-seven or eight years old. All of a sudden, Gao Gan became Yuan Shao's nephew. Coupled with the relationship between Gao Gan and Gao Ran back then, it was naturally the most appropriate to send him to persuade him.
It was too late to say that it was too late, and the former master and servant met again, but they became mortal enemies on the battlefield. As soon as the two pegasus came into contact, the two big knives collided, and immediately made a bang, and then Gao Ran and Gao Gan reined in the horses and fought each other, and the two knives flew continuously, and the battle was very fierce!
"Boyang, my uncle regards you like a minister of the humerus, and it was difficult to return to help due to the emergency situation in the past. Later, my uncle heard that you voted for the Ma family's child, I thought you were a false snake, and you would take the opportunity to escape back, but after a few years, you were willing to be driven by the Ma family's child, why!? ”
"Yuancai, Hugh has to say more!! My Lord has placed trust in me, and how can I turn my back on it!? Gao Ran glared, and he was anxious to slash it away. Gao Gan hurriedly moved his body and flashed, and shouted in a low voice: "Boyang!" The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the master to do things! The Ma family is difficult to protect itself, you have been smart and resourceful since you were a child, how can you want to be a lost dog! My uncle said, but if you can understand the current affairs and help me capture that Liao and sacrifice Anyi, I will hand over the annexation to you and me to govern in the future!! When the time comes, won't you and my brother dominate the side!? ”
Gao Gan had a sincere look on his face, but he exchanged it for a sharp slash from Gao Ran. Seeing that Gao Ran was about to split, he knew that the trajectory of the quick knife was steeply slanted, and it suddenly split the air.
"Hmph, if you don't want to fight, just retreat quickly. For the sake of the old days, I can spare you once. If you want me to defect, it's impossible!! After Gao Ran snorted coldly in a low voice, his face looked a little flustered, and he suddenly turned his horse and left.
"Boyang, you are really shaken!" Gao Gan did not chase after him, but showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then pulled his horse back.
At dusk that day, Zhang Liao led his troops back, and the morale of his troops was very high. Gao Ran had already learned from the generals who rushed to report that Zhang Liao had beheaded six members of the Wang Fang and returned with a great victory, and the troops were waiting under the city.
"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general, the flag is victorious, and the majesty is great!" Gao Ran bowed his hand and greeted him. Zhang Liao's face was cold and arrogant, and he bowed slightly, and then asked: "Just a little thief, since he is not my opponent, after I left, I heard that Yuan Shao had sent someone to commit it, and it is said that he still knows you, but is there such a thing?" ”
"Don't dare to hide it from the general, I used to be a servant in the Gao family in Hebei, and that Gao Gan is my young master, and he has become Yuan Shao's nephew." Gao Ran's face froze, he didn't dare to slack off, and replied quickly. However, as he spoke, there was a slight movement in his eyes, and he quickly turned to the position of the high slope to the right.
When Zhang Liao heard this, he first understood, then his eyes were cold, he snorted coldly, and did not answer, and rode his horse away, which made Gao Ran embarrassed.
And this scene happened to be carefully watched by the high-level cadres who stayed behind.
At night, in a tent outside the city.
"That Zhang Wenyuan is known as the White Lion General, and he is very powerful, and today he beheaded six of my members in a row. Now it's too late for our army camp to set up fences and antlers, but if Zhang Wenyuan leads his troops to attack, what can he do? In the big tent, Wang Fang remembered Zhang Liao's courage today, and his face couldn't help showing a little fear, and said.
"Hmph, don't worry, I'm afraid that Zhang Wenyuan didn't have the slightest intention to attack my camp at night." Sitting on the main seat is the Gao Gan who is fighting with Gao Ran under the city of Anyi today. Gao Gan was originally from a noble background, and he was Yuan Shao's nephew, Wang Fang didn't dare to offend, and after listening to it, although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to open his mouth lightly, for fear of provoking Gao Gan's displeasure. After all, Wang Fang is also self-aware, and a person like him, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and sells his master for glory, is not so easy to gain the trust of the new master and his faction.
