Ten days later, Gao Ran brought 5,000 foot soldiers, a large amount of grain and grass, and siege equipment to the camp of Juyi outside Yijing City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info took out Yuan Shao's warrant and handed it over to Ju Yi. Ju Yi is a martial artist, and he is a relatively simple kind of person, as long as the lord's order is related to the war, he will not hesitate to carry it out.

Gao Ran brought foot soldiers and siege equipment, which means that he has a certain amount of preparation for Yi Jing's strategy. After Ju Yi briefly explained the method of siege and defense summarized in the past half a month to Gao Lan, he could pick up 3,000 to go to the camp first, leave the camp, and go to Jizhou.

After Ju Yi left, Gao Ran invited Liu He to take a seat, and then summoned the generals to explain Yuan Shao's appointment to everyone, and at the same time discussed with everyone the method of attacking the city, until the evening everyone dispersed one after another. At this time, Guo Tu came over to talk to Gao Ran about dealing with Yuan Shao and secretly getting rid of Liu He.

Gao Ran is different from Ju Yi, he is an old general who has followed Yuan Shao since Yuan Shao started his army, Yuan Shao is his lord, and his future is all pinned on Yuan Shao. Regarding this idea of plotting against Liu He, although Gao Ran also has resistance in his heart, he will not hesitate to implement it. In the four courtyards of Hebei, Yan Liangwen is known for his martial arts, Zhang Jaw is known for his resourcefulness, and Gao Ran is different, his biggest characteristic is that he can fight tough battles, be able to persevere, and be indomitable. This is also the reason why Yuan Shao chose Gao Ran instead of Ju Yibing to besiege Yijing. However, for this reason, Gao Ran ranked last among the four court pillars in Hebei, and his ability is generally not known to others.

After Guo Tu finished saying Yuan Shao's idea of getting rid of Liu He, Gao Ran immediately had an idea. Because Yi Jing is difficult to attack, if Liu He has to go into battle to attack the city and die under the arrows, then it is too difficult for people to believe that he has no selfish intentions. But you can take advantage of your lack of fame. Ju Yi played a prestige in the battle of Jieqiao, and the Youzhou army asked Ju Yi's name, and he was frightened. Now as Ju Yi leaves, it is just right for people to release the news, and then set up camp by himself to reveal some flaws, so as to lead the enemy to rob the camp late at night. Who could have predicted such a thing as robbing the camp, Liu He died in the chaos, but there was no right symptom. When the time comes, if you secretly ambush the people and defeat the enemy, you will not lose the morale of the army.

Thinking of this, Gao Ran told Guo Tu his thoughts, Guo Tu said that it was a good plan, and the two discussed some details, and began to prepare.

………………………………………………………………………

Since Gongsun Zan sent Xiahoulan to relieve the siege of Jixian County, he has made a more rigorous arrangement for Yijing's defense, and has sent tens of thousands of people from the countryside around Yijing, strengthening the city wall on the one hand, and building more than ten zhang tall buildings in the city on the other hand.

Juyi besieged the city for a month, except for tentative attacks, only besieged but not attacked, and rushed to make siege equipment every day. Gongsun Chan was very relieved about his defense, and since there was plenty of food in the city, he was not very worried.

On this day, I suddenly heard that Ju Yi was gone, and Yuan Shao changed generals and sent Gao Ran. Although Gao Ran is somewhat famous, he has never confronted the Youzhou Army after all. Although Gongsun Chan was afraid of bowing, the other generals in Youzhou were not afraid. This Gongsun Zhan had the idea of taking the initiative to fight with the Jizhou army.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Chan took a group of generals to climb the city wall of Yijing and watch the camp of Gaolan. Gao Ran did not follow Ju Yi's camp layout method, on the one hand, it was certainly related to Ju Yi's first camp withdrawal, and on the other hand, it was also seen that Gao Ran did not take the Youzhou army to heart in his heart, and the defense was relatively weak.

After all, Gongsun Chan is also a veteran of the battlefield, once he has the idea of going to battle, he will act vigorously and resolutely, and immediately arrange for the generals to prepare to rob the camp at night. On the third watch of the night, Gongsun Zhan ordered Duwei Wangmen to lead 3,000 elite soldiers, and went out of the city at night to rob Gaoran's camp.

The king led the men and horses out of the city, and in order to prevent the Jizhou army from discovering it, the sergeant rank (a tool used to prevent noise by the rank of a soldier, shaped like chopsticks) was silenced, and the horses also wrapped the horse's hooves with cotton, so that the knights restrained the horses from making a sound. When he rushed to the Jizhou military camp tent, Wang Men saw that the Jizhou army's defense was lax, and he was secretly happy in his heart, shouting "Kill", and led the team to kill it first. The goal of the royal gate is very clear, that is, to go straight to the big tent of the Chinese army of the Jizhou army and capture the enemy commander alive.

The Chinese army's big tent is generally much higher and wider than other military tents, and the Chinese army has a main general's flag, although the word of the flag cannot be seen at night, but the height of the flag can be recognized from a distance. Wang Men led these 3,000 people from the camp gate to kill, and did not encounter any effective resistance along the way, and suddenly saw a big tent not far ahead, surrounded by many military tents and guards, Wang Men thought that it should be a big tent of Gao Lan. and led the elite soldiers all the way to kill it.

It stands to reason that there is only one Chinese military account in a military camp, but Liu He's identity is different and he cannot be treated as an ordinary general. Therefore, whether it is Ju Yi or Gao Ran, they are arranged for Liu He according to the boss's camp account. This royal gate led the troops to kill, how did he know that there was such a reason in the Jizhou army, just blindly rushed to kill, and when he arrived at the big tent, countless dead soldiers and guards rushed out of it. It strengthened the determination of the royal gate to capture this place and capture or kill the boss alive.

Although the dead soldiers were strong in martial arts and were not afraid of death, after all, the number was limited, and the army of the royal gate killed nearly a hundred guards in a short time. When Wang Men rushed into the tent, he instinctively felt that the person in front of him was by no means Gao Yan, because he did not have the momentum that a battle-hardened military general should have, and this person was more like a weak scholar. "You're not Gao Yan?" The king asked knowingly.

"I'm not, I'm Liu He in the servant, I'm a clan, the general can't kill me......" Liu He's words were not finished, and the king had already cut off Liu He's head with a knife.

"The two armies are fighting, how can there be so many words" Wang Men took down a piece of cloth from the tent with one hand, wrapped Liu He's head, and led the team to continue to charge. But at this time, the Jizhou army was no longer as chaotic as just now, and the soldiers of each battalion gradually found their main general, began to effectively organize the defense, and gradually surrounded the Wangmen. The opportunity is fleeting, and it is impossible to hit the main camp of Gaolan. Wang Men decisively ordered to set fire to the whole army and retreat.

One of the things that this stealing camp and robbing is that it is unexpected, and the other is fast, once it is surrounded by the enemy, it will be the end of the annihilation of the whole army. Fortunately, these Jizhou troops were one step slower to organize, otherwise it would have been difficult to retreat with their whole body. While retreating, Wang Men thought that he was about to rush to the camp gate of the Jizhou army, and Wang Men knew that as long as he rushed out, he would be safe. Once it enters the defensive range of Yijing City, there will be archers on the arrow tower to respond, and then the Jizhou army will have no choice.

Just as Wang Men rushed out of the camp gate and felt relaxed, Wang Men saw five thousand cavalry neatly lined up outside the camp gate. His heart fell from a cliff to the bottom, and the expression on his face instantly stiffened. But at this time, there is no other choice, the brave wins when the two armies meet, and only by rushing out can there be a glimmer of life.

But the 3,000 people led by Wang Men have basically tried their best to kill just now, except for a few generals who have horses, most of them are infantry, and in the face of 5,000 cavalry, their fate can be imagined. Moreover, there are enemy troops who have been assembled and pursued one after another, and the destruction of these 3,000 men is only a matter of time.

With only one pillar of incense, there was no one of Wang Men's subordinates around, and he was left standing alone on the spot. The horses were exhausted, and the sword in the king's hand could no longer be lifted. Wang Men looked at the direction of Yi Jing, thinking that in the past ten years, Sui Gongsun Zhan has also fought in the south and the north, what haven't you seen? Look at Liu He's head pinned to his waist, and think about the person who was alive just now, if he wants to die, he will die. That's it, today's ambush, my life is desperate, this life is explained here, thinking of this, the knife is horizontal to the neck, and I am going to kill myself.

Gao Ran bent his bow and shot an arrow at the back of the king's sword, and the king's sword was knocked to the ground. Gao Ran shouted to the guard, "Come on, tie up with me." The crowd rushed up and captured the king's disciples alive.

Gao Ran led everyone back to the camp and asked each battalion to count the casualties, but fortunately, the loss was not large, only more than 2,000 casualties. The Youzhou army robbed the camp at night, was killed by General Gao Ran, and the three thousand Youzhou troops were completely annihilated, and captured the enemy general Wangmen alive, which should be a great achievement. It's just that Liu He's army was not strictly guarded, and he lost the life of General Liu He, but there was no way. Gao Ran asked Guo Tu to truthfully write a report to Yuan Shao of Yecheng, and at the same time sent someone to escort the captive Wang Men to Yecheng.

Gao Ran and the generals finished explaining, let the battalions strengthen their defenses, and the generals returned to the camp. Most of the generals in the first battalion are Jizhou generals, and they don't care about Liu He's life and death.

The only person who was most sensitive to Liu He's life and death was Yan Rou, Xian Yufu, and Qi Zhou at that time. They raised troops under the banner of avenging Liu Yu, and most of them were Liu Yu's old subordinates, from this point of view, Liu He was their master. Now that Liu He is dead, these people suddenly lack a basis for standing up in terms of name and morality.

The three of them came out of the high tent and went to Yan Rou's big tent to discuss. The three of them just said a few words, but they hadn't discussed it yet, but they heard that Guo Tu was asking to see him outside the tent.

Yan Rou must have been stunned for a moment, and quickly ordered someone to invite Guo Tu in.

Yan Rou had already guessed seven or eight points when he saw Guo Tulai's intentions, "Mr. Guo came to visit late at night, there must be something important, I don't know ......" said and glanced at Xian Yufu and Qi Zhou, meaning to ask Guo Tu whether he was looking for himself or three people.

Xian Yufu and Qi Zhou immediately said, "Mr. Guo wants to talk to Yan Sima, but the two of us will avoid it for the time being." ”

Guo Tu immediately said, "Okay, okay, I originally wanted to visit the three of them to discuss, and now I just want to discuss together." The three of them are all understanding people, and Guo may wish to explain his intention directly. It is only a matter of time before this Gongsun Chan is defeated, and when the time comes, the lord of my family will definitely lead Youzhou. The three of them are all famous generals and talents in Youzhou, and my lord has admired them for a long time. Now the two are merged together to discuss Gongsun Zhan, and they should work together. Once you take Youzhou, the lord of my family wants to hand over the two armies of Yuyang and Youbeiping to the three to govern, and you can also go to the imperial court, and Feng Yan will be the captain of Hu Wuhuan, and the marquis will be feuded, and General Xian Yu and General Qi will be the Taishou of a county. I don't know what about the following three people? "Guo Tu is not talking nonsense, before he came out of Yuan Shao, he had already asked Yuan Shao in advance about the problems of Yan Rou and others, but Liu He was not dead, and there were still variables, so he did not come to persuade him, but now is the best time.

Yuan Shao's conditions were already quite generous, for Yan Rou and the three of them, this was the best choice at the moment, and the three of them had already agreed in their hearts, but they agreed immediately because of their bad face. Yan Rou said to Guo Tu, "It's just that General Liu He died, and I don't know what to do with Yuan Gongdang." ”

"These three rest assured, my lord is the lord of benevolence, and General Liu He is both an ally and a minister of the same hall, and my lord will definitely be beautiful when the time comes. If Gongsun Chan dies, he will definitely go to the grave of Liu Yu and General Liu He in Youzhou. Guo Tu said.

"In this way, we will be at peace in our hearts. I also ask Mr. Guo to report to the lord, from today, the three of us will be a member of Jizhou, who was originally the lord of the whip and the stirrup, and fought in all directions, without two hearts. When Yan Rou said this, Xian Yu Fu, Qi Zhou also agreed.

Guo Tu saw that the persuasion was successful, and he was happy in his heart, "We will jointly assist the lord in the future, that is, colleagues, the three of us don't have to be so polite, we should help each other." ”

Yan Rou ordered his soldiers to bring wine, and the four of them celebrated together.
