Chapter 262: Parting Ways
Since Gao Ran is determined to rebel, it is not easy to kill more than a dozen guards?
At the sound of the order, one hundred and ten soldiers poured into the tent, slashed at each other, dismembered the bodies of a dozen stunned guards, and then dragged them out of the tent.
Seeing that Gao Ran was not dragging his feet, Zhang He was a little dumbfounded, he really couldn't imagine that Gao Ran was so decisive, it was just a blink of an eye!
"Senior brother, you are at a dead end if you do this, even if you and I don't have the heart of betrayal, we can't argue!" Zhang He stretched out his hand and stroked the sparse beard on his chin, and said unwillingly.
If there is a way to go, no one wants to bear the name of a traitor. In this era, the word "loyalty" is admired. Even if Cao Cao is willing to accept himself, he will be despised and inferior among his colleagues. Who wants to go this way until the point of last resort?
Gao Ran's eyes flickered, and he pinched his nose: "The matter has come to this, there is no way out, only in this way can we live!" Can't you see it, O righteousness? The lord has listened to Feng Ji's slander, and is ready to put you and me to death, if we go back with us, we will inevitably be in a different place! ”
"Killing the lord's personal soldiers, the crime is complicity! How can the Lord let us? Do you think that with the defeat of six or seven thousand remnants of our army, we can fight against the army of the lord? ”
Zhang He questioned Gao Ran with a worried face, and was very dissatisfied with his reckless behavior: "What's more, these soldiers may not necessarily listen to us, if the lord gives an order, these soldiers may tie you up and me and send them to the lord to ask for merit and reward!" ”
Gao Ran looked calm and relaxed: "Junyi doesn't have to worry, I already have an idea." I heard that Corporal Cao Gong Lixian. The rewards and punishments are clear, and it is estimated that the Cao army has suffered a lot of losses in this fierce battle of Wuchao, which is the time when there is a shortage of major generals. If you and I coerce this group of people to take refuge, Cao Gong will inevitably reuse you and me, why worry about not having glory and wealth? ”
"Coerced people to join Cao Cao?"
Although Zhang He had already guessed Gao Ran's so-called "idea", he was still surprised when he heard it come out of his mouth. Cao Jun's generals who died under his own guns, not to mention thousands, at least hundreds, can Cao Cao tolerate himself?
"Yes. Coerced this team to take refuge in Cao Gong! ”
Gao Ran took a picture of the table. Reiterate his mind again: "As the saying goes, 'good birds choose trees to perch, and good generals choose the master to serve', since Yuan Shao is ruthless, we have no intention to blame us." Lead the troops to Cao. It must be reused. Who dares not to obey. Kill them immediately, we have 7,000 men and horses in our hands, and Cao Cao will definitely not treat you and me badly! ”
"There are seven or eight generals above the Cao Ying army who died under my gun. There are countless soldiers, how can Cao Cao tolerate me? Zhang He's eyes flickered and asked tentatively.
"Hehe......" Gao Ran stroked his beard and smiled, and said confidently: "Junyi can rest assured ......"
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said in Zhang He's ear: "Early this morning, I have sent someone to secretly contact Duke Cao, indicating his intention to surrender to sincerity...... Hmph, so, Junyi, even if you follow my brother and me, go to Cao Ying boldly, and promise to eat and drink spicy food! ”
"Shhh...... This husband really has an objection, Feng Ji said that he has a different heart, and it turns out that he has never wronged him! ”
Zhang He's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he quietly looked at Gao Ran, only to find that for this person who had been calling him a brother and brother for a long time, he didn't see his true nature clearly. But what can happen now? Kill him and report to Yuan Shao, who believes that he is innocent?
"That's it, that's it, everyone has their own ambitions, it's finally a brother, go to the end of the world, life and death are left to fate!"
Zhang He made up his mind, slowly opened his squinted eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You want to go to Cao, just go, I won't go!" ”
"What? Do you still want to go back to the camp? ”
Gao Ran didn't believe his ears, and had a surprised expression, "Brother, listen to me, if Feng Ji is playing right and wrong next to Yuan Shao, the black will also become white, and Zhongliang will also become a traitor." After you go back, it will be a dead end, you still follow me to seek refuge in Cao Gong, right? With your ability, you will inevitably be reused! ”
Zhang He still refused Gao Ran's invitation: "I won't go to Cao Cao, and I won't go back to the camp......"
"And where are you going? Is it a coward? Gao Lan was confused.
Zhang He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the bright blue sky in the north through the curtain of the tent, and said firmly: "I have a good personal relationship with the fourth son of Bingzhou, and I am ready to go to Bingzhou to seek refuge with Gongzi." He is a master with ideals, ambitions, and abilities, and I believe he will be able to protect me through this difficult time! ”
"You're talking about Yuan Mai?" Gao Ran smiled bitterly, with a disdainful expression, "No kidding, he is Yuan Shao's son after all." Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. We disobeyed his father's orders, can this Yuan Mai spare us? I'm afraid that if we enter the door with our front feet, we will be tied up with our back feet and sent to Yuan Shao to be beheaded, listen to my brother's words, let's go to Cao Gong! ”
Gao Lan persuaded him, but Zhang He's will was even more resolute, and he said with a torch in his eyes: "I have already made up my mind, General Gao should not persuade again, if the fourth prince can't tolerate Zhang He, I have no choice but to accept my fate." If there is a glimmer of life, Zhang He will definitely not be a traitor! ”
"Traitor?"
After listening to Zhang He's sarcastic words, Gao Lan's ears were feverish, his face was slightly red, and he snorted coldly: "Who wants to be a traitor?" It's better to die than to live! The Yuan family is not benevolent, do you want me to show the power of loyalty to fools? I can't! ”
Zhang He saw that Gao Ran's will had been decided, and he had already killed Yuan Shao's personal soldiers, which was tantamount to rebellion, and it was impossible to persuade him to follow him to join Yuan Mai!
sighed, waved his hand and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, I don't force you, General Gao wants to go, just go, before I change my mind......"
Listening to Zhang He's words, Gao Ran suddenly felt a hatred in his heart, and involuntarily clenched the sword at his waist, but when he saw Zhang He's spear inserted into the weapon rack, he finally slowly let go of his hand. I have studied martial arts with Zhang He no less than twenty or thirty times, and I have never won against him, if I want to fight with my life this time, the result will inevitably be the same!
"Okay, since you are willing to stay and wait for death, forgive me for not accompanying Gao Ran, and the brotherly relationship between you and me will be cut in two!"
Gao Ran hatefully touched his simple knife, walked towards the outside of the camp, and said hatefully as he walked: "I took this team away!" ”
With a "bang", Zhang He slapped the case: "I let you go, it's already done with benevolence and righteousness, if you want to take the team away, don't even think about it!" Except for your own soldiers, don't even think about taking a pawn with you! ”
Seeing that the two main generals were arguing, Gao Ran's personal soldiers drew their swords in their hands and shouted together: "Listen to General Gao, whoever doesn't listen, we cut him!" ”
Zhang He's personal soldiers also broke in, drew their swords and raised their guns, and confronted Gao Lan's personal soldiers, "Put down the knife, who dares to take a weapon against our General Zhang, Lao Tzu killed him!" ”
There was a sudden infighting in the camp tent of the main general, and the six or seven thousand remnants of the defeated soldiers were suddenly dumbfounded, and they gathered around to watch the excitement, whispering one by one, talking to each other, looking flustered, not knowing how their fate would rise and fall?
Gao Ran held a big knife in his hand, his eyes were blood-red, and he glared at Zhang He angrily and said: "Zhang He, it's finally a brother, don't force me!" ”
Zhang He strode to the weapon rack and touched the spear, walked out of the camp, stood in the open place, put a spear on the ground in a chic manner, and said loudly: "Fellow soldiers, you have heard clearly, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, but General Gao plans to vote for Cao Cao, is anyone willing to follow him?" Are you willing to go to Cao's camp in the name of the rebels and let others look at you in vain? ”
Most of the soldiers chimed in: "No! ”
But there are still people who question in a low voice: "We have suffered a big defeat, and the lord will definitely be held accountable." It is certain that the two generals will be punished, and if we can't get it, our military salary for a year will be gone! ”
Zhang He glanced at everyone and said loudly: "I will take you to Bingzhou to seek refuge with the fourth prince, he has clear rewards and punishments, and he will not treat us badly, and Bingzhou is also the territory of Yuan Gong, we are still soldiers of the Yuan family, and we will not carry the name of the rebel on our backs." ”
"Okay, we are willing to follow General Zhang to seek refuge with the fourth son!"
Most of the soldiers responded in unison, agreeing with Zhang He's proposal, but there were still a small number of people who bowed their heads and remained silent, undecided in their hearts about going north to merge states or going south to vote for Cao.
Zhang He pulled out his gun in his hand, and his eyes were solemn: "If you want to follow Gao Ran to Cao, you can go ten rounds from my Zhang He's gun, and you will never stop it, otherwise you will leave your head!" ”
After listening to Zhang He's words, the one hundred and ten personal soldiers behind him raised their swords and guns in unison and shouted: "Whoever dares to vote for Cao will either win General Zhang or leave his head!" ”
"Hiss......"
There was a gasp from the soldiers, and then there was no sound.
"Zhang He?" Gao Ran roared hysterically, "I misjudged you!" ”
Zhang He's face was as pale as water: "Do you want to fight with me too?" Before I change my mind, take your own soldiers and leave quickly, otherwise, there will only be swords and guns! ”
Gao Ran stomped his feet helplessly, turned over his horse, waved the big knife in his hand, and beckoned his own soldiers: "Follow me!" ”
More than 100 of the nearly 200 personal soldiers turned over and followed behind Gao Lan, and the other nearly 100 people shook their heads and said: "I'm sorry General Gao, our family members are all in Hebei, so I can't follow you to Caoying......"
"Alas!"
Gao Ran looked up to the sky and sighed, rode away, and followed closely behind him with one hundred and ten horsemen, out of the camp, and headed south.
Gao Ran had just walked for a while, and a scout rode a fast horse to report: "General Qiqi Zhang, a heavy armored cavalry came from the northeast, waving the banner of Yuan, and quickly galloped towards our camp?" ”
"Shhh...... Could it be that Yuan Shang knew about Gao Ran's killing of his own soldiers, and Xingshi asked for the guilt? ”
Zhang He stood in front of the camp gate, looking at the northeast, and muttered to himself anxiously, not knowing what fate would be ushered in next?
