Wang Yan, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Zhuge Xuan are talking about government affairs.

Shi A's face was solemn, and he hurriedly walked over, and reported: "My lord, the sentry has sent back news that Gao Ran has withdrawn from Linzi County after being chased and killed by Dian Wei and the Linzi County army. ”

Wang Yan asked, "What about the direction of Gao Lan's retreat?" ”

Shi Ah replied, "Not known for the time being! ”

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Pay attention at any time and report the news at any time." ”

"No!"

Shi Ah replied, then turned and stepped back.

With a confident smile on his face, Wang Yan ordered: "Mr. Zhuge , you stay in Linzi County, stabilize people's hearts, and restore the situation as much as possible." Linzi County is the seat of Qingzhou and cannot be turbulent. ”

Zhuge Xuan arched his hand and said: "The lord can rest assured, the humble post will definitely restore the peace and prosperity of Linzi County in a short time." ”

Wang Yan changed his words, and then ordered: "As the so-called beating of the water dogs, Gao Ran has withdrawn the army, and we should send troops." Wenhe, Fengxiao, follow me on the expedition, it's time for us to pursue Gao Ran. ”

"No!"

Jia Xu and Guo Jia arched their hands, both with smiles on their faces.

After the three of them left the Assassin's Mansion, they went straight to the south gate. After arriving at the south gate, Wang Yan asked Zang Ba and Guan Hai to mobilize the army of Linzi County, and then began to pursue. Less than ten miles out of the city, the soldiers who were pursuing Gao Ran on the front line sent back the news, and Gao Ran led the army in the direction of Jinan. In this regard, Wang Yan did not give any orders, but only ordered the sentry to pay close attention to the news.

At this time, Wang Yan led the troops to catch up unhurriedly.

Early the next morning, the battle situation was reported back, and Gao Ran was ambushed by the army on the way to Jinan with the remnants of the defeated army, and suffered heavy losses. In the end, Gao Ran had to change the route of the march and instead led the army north, intending to go in the direction of Le'anguo in the northwest.

On the third day, another report of the battle returned.

On the way to Le'anguo, Gao Ran was once again ambushed and hit hard. After repeated heavy losses, the army under Gao Ran's command suffered heavy losses, and finally had to change the direction of the march and go to the Beihai Kingdom in the east.

After Wang Yan got the news that Gao Ran was going to Beihai Kingdom, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything, back to plan.

After nightfall, the army set up camp, and Wang Yan convened everyone to discuss the matter in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Zang Ba's face was serious, and he reported: "Lord, the ambush soldiers arranged on the roads of Le'an and Jinan have now been withdrawn and are on the way to converge, expected?" In the future, the armies will be able to converge. ”

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Order them to rush back." ”

"The last general obeys!"

Zang Ba nodded, and then stopped talking.

Wang Yan's gaze turned to Jia Xu, and said in a deep voice: "Wenhe, Gao Ran didn't have the courage to break through the defense line laid by Le'an Kingdom and Jinan Kingdom after all, he is now going to Beihai Kingdom. This battle can be collected. ”

"Rest assured, the harvest has begun. Everything in the North Sea Country has been prepared. Jia Xu smiled slightly, and said: "The lord defeated Gao Ran this time, and cut off one of Yuan Shao's arms, severely damaging Yuan Shao's army. ”

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Gao Lan is not worth mentioning!" ”

The people discussed the next arrangements before they dispersed.

Early the next morning, the army continued on its way.

Wang Yan led the army to follow closely behind Gao Lan, so that Gao Lan had to accelerate in the direction of Beihai Kingdom. Two days later, Wang Yan and Dian Wei and the rest of the army converged. All the armies pursued together, making Gao Ran restless.

Gao Ran fled in a hurry, and his heart became more and more anxious. When entering Linzi County, Gao Ran had a total of 60,000 soldiers, but after the pursuit and killing at the North Gate and the East Gate, and then after repeated escapes, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers left under his command, and even on the way to Beihai Kingdom, there were soldiers who kept escaping, and the situation was very serious.

In five days, Gao Ran and the soldiers under his command looked sad, and finally entered the territory of Beihai Kingdom.

At noon, the army temporarily stopped to recuperate.

Wu Xin was worried, his expression was haggard, and in just a few days, Wu Xin had lost a lot of weight. He came to Gao Lan's side and said solemnly, "General, the dry rations of the soldiers in the army are only half a day's rations. Tomorrow's rations, there are no more. Moreover, in the past few days, the soldiers have not had enough food, clothing, and rest, and the situation is not optimistic. ”

After a pause, Wu Xin said again: "Once the food runs out, even if Wang Yan doesn't chase and kill, the army will be defeated."

Gao Ran said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wu, how far is it for us to go to Beihai Country?" ”

Wu Xin replied, "It is estimated that it will take two to three days to reach the Beihai Kingdom. ”

Gao Ran looked impatient and said, "I don't even have food for tomorrow, how can I support the follow-up journey." Mr. Wu, do you have any solution? Now, Gao Ran's heart is already irritable, and he is on the verge of exploding.

Wu Xin said in a deep voice: "General, there is only one way, and that is to recruit food. ”

Gao Ran snorted coldly and said, "Is it too late?" ”

Wu Xin was silent for a moment and said, "If it's too late, then the only way to do it is to send troops to rob the grain." ”

Gao Ran's eyes clenched his steel teeth, and he said coldly: "If you want to recruit food, it's definitely too late." There is no choice but to take the strategy of robbing grain. You immediately send a detachment of soldiers to take the lead and steal the food. Remember, you must not harm the people, and you must not harm the lives of the people. ”

Wu Xin thought in his heart, conniving at the looting of soldiers, how can there be immortals.

Wu Xin didn't dare to say this.

Wu Xin showed a look of admiration on his face, nodded and praised: "The general is benevolent and righteous, and I admire it." He must be instructed to go down, so that the plundering soldiers are not allowed to hurt the people. This time, I borrowed grain from the people, and when I got through the current difficulties, I would definitely return all the grain. ”

"Yes, yes, it's borrowed food."

The corners of Gao Ran's mouth hooked up with a smile, and he agreed with Wu Xin's words.

After a noon break, the army continued to advance.

However, no matter how Gao Ran accelerated his retreat, Wang Yan's soldiers followed, and Gao Ran never got rid of Wang Yan's pursuit. When Wang Yan led his army to pass by, he saw that the people of the villages passing by had suffered heavy casualties, and several people were wailing and crying, and their hearts were angry. After inquiry, he learned that it was Gao Lan's army looting, and Wang Yan's face was gloomy and terrifying.

Guo Jia's eyes flashed, and he said: "Gao Ran has reached the point of conniving at the soldiers to loot grain, it can be seen that he is already exhausted and very difficult. Please give the order of the lord to accelerate again, and drive Gao Ran to reach the North Sea Country. The more embarrassed and tired Gao Lan who arrived in Beihai Country, the better it was for us. ”

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Zang Ba, pass the order, and hurry up." ”

For the losses caused by the war, Wang Yan avoided it. What Wang Yan can do is to catch up with Gao Ran as much as possible, and then defeat Gao Ran, pacify the civil strife in Qingzhou, and minimize the losses of the people as much as possible.

The army continued to catch up, and along the way, more and more people were displaced.

While Wang Yan sent soldiers to settle the wounded and displaced people and give them food to survive, he had already made up his mind to make Gao Ran regret entering Qingzhou.

The army marched forward and arrived at the county of Zhishuo in Beihai State.

Wang Yan led the army to surround Xixian County and temporarily stationed there.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Yan summoned everyone under his command, his eyes fell on Jia Xu, and asked again: "Wenhe, how is the matter handled?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, everything has been arranged." ”

Wang Yan bowed his head, and his eyes showed a look of expectation.
