"My lord once said: Gao Yuanbo is a loyal and righteous person, how can he undermine his loyalty for his own interests? Therefore, before he came, he spoke to me and asked me to bring a letter to the general. If the general is willing to surrender, he will not make the general the enemy Yuan army. In the future, the general guarded the north, and did not participate in the affairs of the enemy's Central Plains. ”

Hearing this condition, Gao Ran's brows moved slightly, he didn't expect that there was such a condition, but Zhuge Jin ignored it and continued.

"Second, the lord also wants to fulfill the general's loyalty, so he should be the general, if the general is willing to surrender, our army is willing to stay here for half a month, and no more troops will enter within half a month. In order to fulfill the general also! ”

"Really?"

Gao Ran was indeed moved.

Wei Tao did this, it was indeed the fulfillment of his loyalty to Gao Ran, and Wei Tao attached so much importance to him Gao Ran, which also made Gao Ran's heart suddenly rise a sense of knowing his own and master.

"Huh...... Is my father-in-law acting falsely? I attach great importance to the general, and I ask the general to think about it. ”

Seeing that Gao Ran was already moved, Zhuge Jin added another fire.

"What's more, all the ministers in the world are Han ministers, and all the generals are Han generals. The general's trip is not contrary to loyalty, so how can the general not do it? This is also because the lord values the loyalty of the general, and he doesn't want the general to waste his skills in vain, otherwise why should it be so? ”

"General Wei treats a certain kindness, and Gao Lan can't repay it!"

Even if Gao Ran is hard-hearted, he can't help but sigh at this time.

"Thanks to General Wei's affordability, Gao Ran shouldn't have refused, but General Wei said that a certain family was loyal. Please also let a certain family be loyal one more time. Mr. Wei said that General Wei was willing to wait here for half a month to fulfill the loyalty of a certain family. Then a certain family will be half a month later. Personally ask the general to surrender, I don't know if it's possible? ”

Hearing this, even Zhuge Jin was slightly stunned, if so, what if you shouldn't swear after half a month?

But just these categorical words made Zhuge Jin understand that this Gao Ran had already made up his mind, and I am afraid that there would be no change at all.

If it were someone else, it might be difficult at this time. even showed an angry look, so what he said before, I am afraid that all of them will be invalidated, but Zhuge Jin is not an ordinary person after all, although he was also slightly stunned, but he did not see the slightest strange look on his face, but bowed to Gao Ran again.

"The general is loyal, my lord will definitely promise, the lord will not live up to the general, and I hope the general will also live up to the lord."

After speaking. Zhuge Jin just said goodbye and left, leaving only Gao Ran to sigh. Looking at the direction of Yecheng with a complicated face, I don't know what Lu Dao is thinking.

After returning to the camp, Zhuge Jin said Gao Lan's words, which immediately made many generals oppose.

Although many generals still agree with Gao Ran's loyalty, if they wait for half a month, once the other party does not keep his promise, then his side may suffer a big loss.

"The lord of Qiqi, there is half a month of time, I am afraid that Gao Yan is enough to calm the hearts of the people in the city, and then it will be difficult to take the city, if not, how about the lord to move quickly? Although Gao Lan is heavy, it is not as heavy as a county. ”

Although this matter was handled by Zhuge Jin, it was obvious that even Zhuge Jin did not agree with Gao Ran.

However, Zhou Yu and Xun You didn't say anything, but this time Wei Tao was not ready to ask the two, Wei Tao already had his own decision in his heart.

"A county is heavy, but how important is a word? If you don't follow his words today, you will lose your faith in the world in the future. I am a foreign race to restore the glory of my Han Dynasty, can it be like this? ”

Wei Tao shook his head slightly, and said slowly with a straight expression.

"Since Gao Ran wants half a month, I will give him half a month, if he breaks his trust in me, I will punish him. The rest of the things are not much to say. ”

"The righteousness of the lord, we admire it!"

Hearing Wei Tao say this, everyone knew that the matter had been decided, but all the generals were convinced by Wei Tao's weight and had no complaints.

Half a month is not a long time, but a lot has happened in this half month.

First of all, Yuan Shao was immediately angry after hearing the news of the defeat in Jizhou, that is, he wanted to return to the army to meet Wei Tao, but he was blocked by his subordinates Tian Feng and Fu Zhu.

At the same time, in order to deal with the fact that Yuan Shu enlightened Lu Bu to defeat and retreat the coalition army, Yuan Shao obeyed the strategy of his advisers and used the method of discord, so that people slandered Yuan Shu, saying that Lu Bu was a tiger and wolf, which could not be trusted, and must be controlled.

Although Yuan Shu has a narrow-minded personality, he still understands such things as mutual checks and balances, and Lu Bu killed his father twice, and his reputation is indeed not good, so Yuan Shu also started the idea of recruiting him to return to Shouchun to be supported by high-ranking officials.

If there is only Lu Bu, then with Lu Bu's greedy temperament, he may really return to Shouchun.

But who let Lu Bu have a Chen Palace by his side, with the wisdom of Chen Gong, how could he not see the result of Lu Buruo's return to Shouchun, and immediately persuaded Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was also quite convinced of Chen Gong's plan, and when he heard that Yuan Shu wanted to plot against him, he immediately became furious, so he rejected Yuan Shu's order on the grounds that 'the general will not be subject to the life of the foreign monarch', and continued to attack Xuzhou.

Although it is still not explicit, the relationship between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu has cracked, especially Lu Bu has the intention of taking Xuzhou as the foundation.

In this way, Cao Cao, who originally only sent an army to help Yuan Shao attack Yuan Shu, also had to pay attention to it, if Lu Bu really let Xuzhou occupy, then Cao Cao might not even be able to sleep peacefully.

In Jizhou, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang did not dare to compete with Wei Tao after the defeat, but they were also ashamed and angry after getting the news that Yuan Tan was going to return, especially Yuan Shang.

Immediately, Yuan Shang adopted the suggestion of the trial and attacked Li Le with the army.

That Li Le himself is a bandit, although he knows some things about soldiers, but what he is best at is fighting hard.

Unfortunately, this method was good when it was used for bandit raiding in the past, but it was useless when the two armies were fighting.

If Li Le hadn't forcibly coerced the people into the army, I'm afraid he would have been unable to support it a long time ago.

Rao is like this, Li Le's fall was only in the blink of an eye, although he also sent distress letters to Zhang Ning and Wei Tao one after another, but neither Zhang Ning nor Wei Tao would obviously send troops to rescue easily.

In the past half month, Wei Tao has been staying in Changshan County without any action, and he has not even had the slightest intention of attacking the city, just waiting for Gao Lan's response.

As for Gao Ran, in the past half a month, Yuan Shao has nothing except for the letters of reprimand, and after half a month of consumption, there is not much grain and grass in the city, and finally Gao Ran has no intention of repenting.

As soon as the half-moon time arrived, Gao Ran immediately ordered the people to open the city gate, and then carried the thorns naked and walked to Wei Tao's tent.

"Gao Yuanbo has seen the general, and the general is more important than Mount Tai, and Yuanbo is convinced. I ask the general to surrender today, and I hope the general will agree. ”

After seeing Wei Tao, Gao Ran directly knelt down to Wei Tao and bowed to him, and then asked to surrender.

"Why does General Gao have to be like this? The general kept his promise so much, and also made Wei admire, from now on, the general will be the general of my and the state, responsible for guarding the Yanmen Pass, in case the Huns invade. ”

Guarding Yanmen Pass is an extremely important job in Bingzhou, and Gao Ran was appointed for this as soon as he took refuge, and I have to say that Wei Tao really values him very much.

"Thank you to the lord, I will repay the kindness of the lord wholeheartedly!"

As soon as Gao Lan fell, the soldiers in the city naturally surrendered, but only half of the soldiers who were surrendering to Wei Tao were in the rear, and the other half of the soldiers and their families were in the rear.

They are not like Gao Lan, they are in a hurry Jizhou clan, and they are related to Yuan Shao, no matter what, Yuan Shao cannot be a disaster and his family.

For these ordinary soldiers, Wei Tao was directly released and left, without the slightest difficulty, and all the soldiers who took refuge were all assigned to Gao Lan's account by Wei Tao, and prepared to go to the town to guard Yanmen Pass.

This makes Gao Ran, who has just taken refuge, even more heartfelt.

"Attack Hejian County? Break the Montenegrin army first? ”

After taking Changshan, Wei Tao didn't bother to deal with these things, after all, he also had a foundation in Changshan.

However, this time Wei Tao's target was the entire Jizhou, so he naturally found Zhou Yu, Xun You and Zhuge Jin.

But what Wei Tao didn't expect was that as soon as they opened their mouths, they asked Wei Tao to attack the Black Mountain Army, instead of continuing to attack the Yuan Army.

"My lord, can the current Montenegrin Army be considered our allies?"

Xun You naturally knew that this proposal was too scary, so he just laughed at the moment.

"With Li Le's approach now, the Montenegrin Army in Jizhou is actually a scourge, and sooner or later it should be eliminated, and with the relationship between our army and the Montenegrin Army, it has now become faintly hostile."

"Just because of that? If so, it's not like that, after all, Yuan Jun is current. ”

Wei Tao frowned slightly, if this is the case, it is inevitable that the attack on the Montenegrin Army is a little unreasonable, since ancient times, there is only a weak alliance to attack the strong, and there is no reason for the joint strong to attack the weak.

If it is united with the Yuan army, Wei Tao is sure that unless the Montenegrin army in Youzhou comes to the rescue, the Jizhou Montenegrin army will be defeated in a few months, and it will not be the same when the time comes?

But now that there is a faint split between the Jizhou Montenegrin Army and the Youzhou Montenegrin Army, what will happen in such a situation?

In this way, what is the truth?

Even Wei Tao didn't understand it for a while, but Zhou Yu, Xun You, and Zhuge Jin were all here, and seeing that the other two were not surprised, it was obvious that they had already communicated with each other, and there must be some secrets that Wei Tao did not know.

So this time, Wei Tao asked the three of them very directly.

"Gongjin, Gongda, Ziyu, what's the secret? Just say it to me. Is it really advantageous to attack Montenegro first and capture Jizhou? (To be continued......)
