Chapter 348: Zhang He and Gao Lan
Handan City, within the county capital. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang He and Gao Ran gathered here with some anxiety and asked the county magistrate Zhang Yu about the recent situation in Yecheng.
The last time Liu He conquered Yuan Tan, after the victory, the class returned, Zhang He and Gao Ran also led the army to accompany them, but when their army came to Yecheng outside the city, they learned that Yuan Shang had defected to Cao Cao, at this time Gao Ran and Zhang He saw that Yecheng was on fire, and thought that Liu He set fire to the city because of anger, so after discussion, the two decided to flee in chaos, and then find a way to cross the Yellow River and go to Xu to defect to Yuan Shang.
However, due to Liu He's army being very tightly checked, there were heavy guards along the road, Zhang He and Gao Ran had no choice but to lead their own soldiers to flee to Handan, and temporarily defected to the former general, Handan County Commander Zhang Yu, and waited until the wind was no longer so tight, and then found a way to defect to Yuan Shang.
At this time, I saw Zhang Yu sigh and say to the second general: "Two generals, the lower officials heard a very bad news, our lord was killed on the first night of his arrival in Xudu, and even the head was hung on the flagpole of the south gate of Xudu......"
"What?"
"Lord ......"
Zhang He and Gao Ran were shocked to hear the bad news, and immediately burst into tears and knelt on the ground and cried.
At this time, Zhang Yu gently persuaded: "Two generals, don't cry yet, maybe this is not a bad thing?" ”
"What? The lord is dead, and you still say it's not a bad thing? Are you ready to surrender to Liu He? Gao Ran's temper was a little impatient, and he immediately stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Yu's throat, and said loudly.
"Gao, General Gao, and, move slowly, listen to what the subordinate will tell you......" Gao Ran was very uncomfortable when he was caught, he could barely breathe, and shouted desperately.
At this time, Zhang He was relatively calm, and when he saw that Gao Ran almost killed him, he hurriedly asked Gao Ran to let go, and then said to Zhang Yu: "Say, I want to see what you say?" ”
Zhang Yufu was free, took a big breath, and then hurriedly stepped forward and said: "When the lower official said this, General Zhang should not be angry, because the lower official promised that what he said was the truth, and General Zhang knew about the fire in Yecheng a few days ago?" ”
"Hmph, don't I know? It's just that I didn't expect that this Liu He would be so brutal, and burned Yecheng in order to vent his anger, so that I don't know how many innocent people died tragically, originally I had a good impression of him, but now it seems that ...... I don't want to mention it, but when I think about it, my heart is full of anger. ”
Zhang He scolded hatefully, with a look of indignation on his face.
At this time, he saw Zhang Yu sigh deeply, and then said: "I want to teach General Zhang to know that you have really wronged the general, and the fire in Yecheng was actually ordered by our lord Yuan Shang." ”
"What? What did you say? ”
"Say it again!"
Zhang He and Gao Ran both looked incredulous, stood in front of them with pale faces, and said to Zhang Yu: "Good boy, now they will frame our lord, you give us an honest explanation, how much benefit did you receive from him?" ”
Zhang He and Gao Ran were very angry, and Gao Ran raised his arm to make a move.
Zhang Yu's face immediately turned pale with fright, but he still opened his mouth to explain: "Two generals, even if the lower officials have great courage, they don't dare to tell lies in front of the two of you, don't the lower officials think that they have lived too long?" The fire in Yecheng is really set by the lord, if you don't believe it, go to Yecheng to ask someone casually, there is no one who doesn't know, even the people of Handan have heard of it, it is said that the lord at that time in order to be able to surrender Cao Cao smoothly, designed to marry the old master's mother, that is, his biological mother Mrs. Liu to Cao Cao as a concubine, it is because of this that Cao Cao was willing to accept his surrender, and he in order to be able to get Cao Cao's favor, but also in order to prevent the general Liu He from getting Yecheng, so he set fire to Yecheng, and after the general arrived in Yecheng, he took the initiative to put out the fire, This is also thanks to him leading the whole army to fight the fire, otherwise I am afraid that the entire Yecheng will be burned to ruins, this matter is not just hearsay, Mr. Shen was on the scene to direct the firefighting, if the two generals don't believe it, they can ask Mr. Zhen. ”
"I'll send someone to interrogate the match immediately, and if you have half a lie, watch your head!" Zhang He knew that the stakes were high and he had to be cautious, so he immediately wrote a letter and found a cronie who asked him to take the letter to the trial and ask the mastermind behind the Yecheng fire.
However, at this moment, I saw a servant walk in and said to Zhang Yu: "Qiyu Mansion Jun, there is a person from outside the door who claims to be the judge of Wei County who wants to see you. ”
"What? Mr. Shen actually came at this time? This is really my savior, please come in, no, I'd better go out and greet it myself. When Zhang Yu heard this, he was immediately pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly decided to greet him in person, but after he saw Zhang He and Gao Ran, he added: "What do the two generals think?" Shouldn't Shimonoseki be greeted in person? ”
Zhang He and Gao Ran glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "Since it is Mr. Shen who is here, then our brothers should also go together to greet him, we just want to ask him in person." ”
Then the two saw the trial, but at the same time they saw a person standing next to the trial, and they recognized that it was Liu He they suspected.
"Mr. Judge, no, Judge, what the hell is going on? Don't tell us, you also surrendered to Liu He. Gao Ran's temper was very straightforward, and he couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, so he asked directly.
saw that the trial nodded, and then told them in detail what Yuan Shang had done, what Liu He had done, including the gambling contract between the trial and Liu He.
"So that's the case, it's a good kill, such a vicious person really deserves to be killed!"
This time, even Zhang He couldn't help but applaud.
Zhang Yu was naturally so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and hurriedly said: "General, Mr. Judge, it's windy outside, let's go to the mansion first, and then talk slowly." ”
"Yes, yes, hehe, look at our brains, we just have to listen to the general and Mr. Review, and if we don't treat guests well, we still look at Haihan." Gao Ran touched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.
After coming to the hall, Zhang He and Gao Ran glanced at each other again, bowed to the ground at the same time, and said to Liu He: "Please forgive our brother for being reckless for a while, misunderstanding the general, the general is indeed a master worthy of our lives, if the general does not dislike it, our brother is willing to lead the horse for the general, and swear to die!" ”
"Haha, to be able to get the assistance of two generals, and fortunately, how dare you dislike it? The two generals, please get up, it's a pity that you can't perform the immortal method now and for the time being, otherwise you will definitely be given a big opportunity today, half a month later, at that time, let you experience it, and be able to assist me wholeheartedly. ”
Although he couldn't be canonized immediately, Liu He knew that Zhang He and Gao Ran were definitely brave generals in the world, especially Zhang He, who was one of the five good generals of Cao Wei, and his ability was not inferior to Xu Huang, so he would naturally believe in their ability, so he immediately worshiped Zhang He as a partial general and Gao Ran as a general of Zhaoyi, and ordered them to recruit fleeing troops and continue to lead the original team under their command.
