Since Yuan Shao took Jizhou, his butt has not been hot, and he has begun to suffer.

In order to break the situation of being surrounded on three sides, Yuan Shao began to look for reinforcements everywhere, first wanting to marry Cao Ying and join forces to fight against He Chen, but Cao Ying refused in person, and the messenger was beaten with a stick and retreated in embarrassment. Then he wanted to negotiate peace with Gongsun Zhan, but the other party proposed to occupy Youzhou, cede Zhongshan, and the area north of the Bohai Sea, but Yuan Shao angrily refused, and the matter fell through. When Zhang Yan was finally contacted, he made the biggest concession and wanted to govern Jizhou together, but he did not get a clear reply. Because at this time, everyone saw that Yuan Shao was embattled on all sides, and he was attacked on three sides, and if he didn't do it well, he might withdraw from the princes' hegemony series.

Running into walls everywhere, Yuan Shao almost wanted to send an envoy to contact the Xianbei Kirbineng and Suli Ministries, preparing to allow Yu Chongli to go south to attack the Gongsun Ministry. But under the extreme opposition of the strategists, this was a foolish resignation. Later, Yuan Shao accepted the plot of frustration and began to provoke the relationship between He Chen and Zhang Yan. It is rumored that if He Chen takes Hebei, the next target must be him. Sure enough, this trick was very effective, and after He Chen eliminated Yuan Shao, he aimed the gun at himself, and Zhang Yangong's momentum slowed down significantly, obviously expecting Yuan Shao and the state side to fight to break the net, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.

It was in this situation that He Chen led Zhao Yun, Ji Ling, Chang Diao, Dian Wei and other guards out of the cauldron to the east, stationed in Julu Jiancheng, gathered 100,000 soldiers under it, and began to set his sights on Xindu and Yuan Shao's new governance office.

Xindu now has an army of 150,000 troops, led by generals Gao Ran and Han Meng. Gao Ran knows that the soldiers are good at fighting, the dispatch is methodical, and he has the style of a general, while Han Mengjun is brave and resolute, and the two are rigid and soft, and it is the best partner to defend the giant deer together. But the sad thing is that he has to be restrained by Guo Tu, a scribe, and it can be said that he is extremely suffocating.

In June, He Chen's soldiers came out of Julu, and the vanguard Wei Yan led 10,000 "Hurricane Regiments" to open up and march out of the capital of Xinxin.

At this time, Xindu City was already in trouble.

Gao Ran was originally a descendant of Situ Gao Liang of the Spring and Autumn Song Dynasty, the grandson of Gao Hong, the Bohai Taishou of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Gao family began to grow from Gao Hong's hands, with deep roots and lush leaves, and the clan was vigorous. Gao Ping and Gao Huai brothers are familiar with bows and horses, and their martial arts skills are extraordinary, if they don't meet Zhao Yun, a fierce general who is unparalleled in the world, how can they leave some footprints in history. And Gao Ran, now it is one of the four pillars of Hebei, and it is deeply valued by Yuan Shao.

It's just that Gao Ran's face at this time was iron-spring, with two beards, one upturned and one upturned, and his eyes were full of fire.

"Smack." There was a loud bang, and the whole hall was audible.

"Guo Tu made a mistake, Guo Tu made a mistake." Gao Ran clenched his teeth, his face full of anger.

"What's wrong with the general?" The generals in the lower part of the hall were all afraid to make a sound, only Han Meng, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot and whose round head and big ears were asked.

Gao Ran's chest rose and fell sharply, his eagle nose was fanned and closed, and he said angrily: "Guo Tu, this guy, actually pointed fingers at this general, and said that he took advantage of the unstable foothold of Wei Yan's vanguard troops to lead the cavalry out of the city and rob the village overnight. He didn't want to think about who Wei Yan was, what kind of troops he was carrying, could he let us steal the camp so easily? Besides, He Chen's army is only dozens of miles behind, and the cavalry can join the battlefield in no matter how long it takes. ”

"Guo Tu wants to fight for credit, what does the general care him do, He Chen's 100,000 army is full of morale, the soldiers are sharp, if you fight head-on, our army does not have an advantage, you must know that half of the 150,000 army are recruits, where is He Chen's brave opponent. Now that we occupy the advantage of the terrain, Xindu Jiancheng should have sufficient materials, and the lord can support him without seven days, as long as he holds on for a few days, he does not need to be angry with Guo Tu. "If you think that Han Meng has a black pot face, five big and three rough and rude looks, then you think that he is a simple-minded person with developed limbs, then you are wrong. This thing can be thought of carefully.

"Keeping the word is an order from the lord himself, even if he goes to the lord, the general will also occupy a reason." Gao Ran, the light flashed in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said viciously.

"Guo Tusu has a close relationship with the eldest son, but the lord has the heart to establish the third son, this guy is obviously because the general and the third son have a close relationship, so the heart is in trouble, and the general must not be guarded against." Han Meng couldn't help but wake up Gao Ran, afraid that he would be dizzy.

"Hmph, he can't afford to give birth to most of the wind and waves." After a short period of venting, Gao Ran's mood quickly stabilized.

"But in this way, Guo Tu made trouble with the lord, and said that the general despised the military order and turned a blind eye to the supervising army, but he was afraid that it would be a sure thing. I'm afraid that I don't like it because of this, how can I say that Guo Tu is also from the lord's father-in-law. To the back, Han Meng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"That's a matter of the future, and now this general only abides by the lord's previous military orders, and he will keep the capital, and he can't be moved." Gao Ran sneered a few times.

"Report ......, Wei Yancheng will fight." At this moment, a letter soldier came with a battle report.

Han Meng's eyes turned to Gao Lan, but he heard a cold voice: "Hang up the battle exemption card, whoever says to fight, there will be no mercy." ”

"No."

Wei Yan's deputy general Wang Ling led 5,000 men and horses, and shouted insults under the south gate of Xincheng for a long time.

Seeing that the city was hung with a free battle card, the scorching sun of nearly June was hanging high in the sky, and the city was unobstructed, except for the moat, it was all flat, and the soldiers of the state were all in tears, turned over and dismounted. Some drink water to quench their thirst, some untie their armor, and some sit on the ground bare-chested. The whole army was already disbanded, there was no military discipline to speak of, and it was even inferior to a bunch of peasants.

Even so, the city was not tempted to die in battle. A hint of disappointment crossed Wang Ling's eyes, and finally Mingjin retreated.

Guo Tu in the city saw the direct shooting of the battlements and jumped feet, such a great opportunity, but it was wasted for Gao Ran's stubbornness, if he led troops out at this time, he would definitely be able to win a big victory. Guo Tu's dissatisfaction with Gao Ran is even more overflowing. Although Yuan Shao let himself supervise the two generals, he was unable to mobilize the military power, which made him depressed when he had the intention to make a contribution.

For three days in a row, the city has been hanging a free battle card, Wang Ling has been fighting to no avail, and He Chen's army finally arrived at the city of Xindu.

After another three days, Gao Ran is like a thousand-year-old turtle, let you wind and rain, I will stand still.

He Chen wiped the sweat on his face, and looked at the bright sun hanging high in the sky, the sky was cloudless, and there was no cool breeze, and he didn't feel a heat in his heart, and while untying his armor, he said depressedly: "Fengxiao, it seems that your strategy has failed this time, I didn't expect Gao Ran's mind to be so firm, how to lure the tiger out of the hole." The spies came to report that this morning the reinforcements Yan Liang had led 30,000 pioneers into the city, and Yuan Shao led 70,000 infantry, and it was estimated that they would be able to reach Xindu City in the evening, which added up to 250,000 horses before and after, but twice as many as ours. There are few people besieging the city and many people defending the city, how can General Ben feel that the role is a little opposite? ”

Guo Jia's face remained unchanged, he looked at the listless soldiers and horses in the surrounding camps, and said lightly: "Midsummer is approaching, the north is scorching hot, and it is a plain, and there is no place for morale. ”

He Chen laughed strangely, his eyes slanted at Guo Jia, this guy didn't have a trace of sweat on his face, and said with a very unbalanced heart: "Feng Xiao can't go all the way to Xindu City to bask in the sun, right?" There must still be a hand left in the belly, so don't hide it. ”

Guo Jia smiled on his face, and said with a somewhat strange expression: "Isn't the lord a fairy method?" Taking advantage of the third watch in the middle of the night, he directly used the fire and thunder technique to blow up the city gate, and the soldiers rushed up, so troublesome? ”

He Chen's footsteps were unsteady and he almost fell directly, grass, this ghost idea actually hit his head.

It is said that He Chen knows some special skills, and now everyone from the top to the top of the state has heard of it, because there are not many people who saw it on the spot, so this matter is very evil.

He Chen wiped two handfuls of cold sweat hard, and said with a smile: "This is the next strategy, the worst way." Although the general can blast open the city gate, there are more than 200,000 soldiers in the city of Xindu, plus the armed warriors, and the people are resisting. Not only will they not be able to take the capital of Xin, but they may lose their soldiers' lives in vain. Feng Xiao, what kind of idea did you come up with? ”

"Hahaha." Guo Jia laughed heartily and let loose the wreckage, it has been a long time since he has seen the embarrassment of the lord, which is really rare. After retracting his laughter, Guo Jia said solemnly: "It's not difficult to break the city, but how to destroy Yuan Shao's living force after breaking the city is the most important." ”

He Chen ate the chicken he ordered and said, "Exactly." ”

Guo Jiale was happy, and then shook his head, his lord now looks reckless and ignorant, but who knows that this guy is very insidious and vicious in his heart, and if he underestimates his ending, there is only one word "death." ”

"Lord, Tianxiang Da Tusi has arrived, right?" Guo Jiayan turned around, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

He Chen knew that Guo Jia would never say something useless, so he nodded and said, "Today will be there." ”

"Have you prepared what the lord asked her to prepare?"

He Chen couldn't touch his head and said, "It's all ready as you said, but it's just this ......"

"Shhh......hhh Guo Jia flashed his eyes a little worriedly.

He Chen suddenly remembered that when he went out to Julu and followed Baiyun Mountain this time, Guo Jia deliberately stayed there for a few days, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized: "General Ben understands ......." ”

"Hey, hey, hey" He Chen and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and the two yin goods laughed extremely rampant at the same time.
