Changshan County, the place where Wei Tao first took charge.

Because this place is adjacent to Ling and the state, and it was once a place led by Wei Tao, although Yuan Shao was later taken from the Black Mountain Army, he did not dare to guarantee that the hearts of the people here were towards the Yuan family.

Therefore, in order to stick to this place, Yuan Shao put his henchman Gao Ran here as a guard, in order to prevent Wei Tao.

These days, Wei Tao's fanfare Gao Ran is not ignorant of the way, but Gao Ran has no other major actions except for strengthening vigilance and ordering the counties to guard.

This is also Gao Lan, leading the troops steadily, and he was entrusted by Yuan Shao here.

"Report! And the state Wei Tao led the army to come, and the forward has arrived in Changshan! ”

"It's finally here."

Hearing this urgent report, Gao Ran's brows moved, he put down the scroll in his hand, muttered to himself, and after thinking for a while, Gao Ran suddenly smiled coldly.

"Since you're here, don't think about it so easily. Someone, give me orders! Order the counties to close the city gates, and never go out, if there is a defector, they will be punished later! ”

"No!"

Hearing Gao Ran's order, a soldier immediately gave orders to each battalion.

"Huh...... Wei Tao? Since you claim to be undefeated, then I will let you be defeated under my hands, not to mention that you have not been in Changshan for many years, even if you are still in Changshan, how can you still clear the wall, can you still get down this city quickly? ”

As early as when Wei Tao had the intention to seek Jizhou, Gao Ran ordered all counties to transport most of the stored grain and grass to the city, in order to reduce the help that Wei Tao could get in Changshan as much as possible.

No matter how the people's hearts are towards Weitao, it is impossible for the people of Changshan to take out the grain in their mouths.

And look at the command. All the counties closed their gates and were not allowed to enter or leave. If it is laid down one by one. I don't know how much time and energy it will take.

Wei Tao's only way was to directly capture the city guarded by Gao Lan.

Although Wei Tao's strength is very strong, Gao Ran is extremely confident, Yuan Shao once left 5,000 men and horses for Gao Ran, plus emergency recruitment, now there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Changshan City, even if two or three times as many people come, it is impossible to take it.

This is the faith of Gaolan.

"Gao Yuanbo is really difficult, Yuan Shao ordered this person to defend the city, and there is really some truth."

The information that Gao Ran ordered to be guarded to the death was soon learned by Wei Tao. Wei Tao couldn't help but praise this.

"It seems that the only way to attack Changshan County is now, but if it is really strong, I am afraid that the casualties will be great."

"Lord, although Gao Ran wants to do the strategy of clearing the wall, he must be competitive, and the lord can order someone to challenge it to see if it should be."

This time, Wei Tao did come with a large army, and his ministers and generals all followed, and Zhuge Jin was the first to speak.

"Enlightening the lord, a certain family has not achieved an inch so far. If you want to challenge Gao Lan, you are willing to be a pioneer! ”

Heard Zhuge Jin say this. Pan Zhang immediately stood up and asked for his life.

"Okay, let's let you lead the headquarters of thousands of people as the pioneer, and see if the high view is not moving!"

I have to say that Gao Ran is indeed calm, although Pan Zhang only led a thousand people, but along the way, he did not see half of the Yuan army, and when he challenged under Changshan City, Gao Ran was also closed.

Until half a day, Wei Tao led the army to follow, and never saw Gao Ran out of the city to face the battle, this heart alone was enough to make Wei Tao admire.

"Lord, the last general is incompetent, please punish the lord."

Although Pan Zhang did have some meritorious intentions, but seeing Gao Ran's unmoved posture, he knew that no matter how much he scolded, it was impossible to provoke him, so he had to come to ask Wei Tao for his guilt.

"It's no wonder that the general is in this matter, it seems that Gao Lan's name is among the four court pillars in Hebei, and it is for Yuan Shao's confidant that his words are indeed true."

Wei Tao naturally couldn't punish Pan Zhang for chilling people's hearts at this time, and immediately said good words to convince him, but after the consolation, Wei Tao still looked left and right and asked.

"Now Gao Ran wants to do this, so that I can't enter the door, and after a long time, I have to retreat, but if I attack forcibly, the loss of troops will be heavy. You also know how many soldiers I have in the state. This move is indeed a blow to the soft underbelly of our state. If there is a good idea, please say it. ”

Hearing Wei Tao's question, even Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and other generals couldn't help frowning slightly, they were indeed not bad at marching and fighting and devouting strategies, but in the face of a Gao Ran who was determined to pay attention to the stubborn defense, there was really no way.

"Lord, I'm afraid this matter depends on Xun Gongda."

But after a period of contemplation, Zhuge Jin finally spoke.

"Gongda?"

Wei Tao was slightly stunned, Xun You should still be in the Zhen family now, and the Zhen family has never expressed his position now, and its meaning is clearly to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, see the success or failure before choosing.

It is also because of this that Xun You is not allowed to leave the Zhen family for a while.

"Yes, judging from the current situation, Gao Ran will not take the initiative to attack no matter what, unless someone orders it."

Zhuge Jin may not be as good as Xun Yu and Zhou Yu, who can have a thousand plans in an instant, but he is also a first-class strategist, and his plans after careful consideration are also not bad.

"Now that Yuan Shao is not here, and the eldest son Yuan Tan is on the expedition with Yuan Shao, then it is the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang who are in charge of Jizhou now. It is said that although the Yuan family has discord, it is only between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to compete for the inheritance, but Yuan Xi has a very good relationship with Yuan Shang, which can make the town guard Jizhou headed by Yuan Shang. ”

"That's true, but so what?"

Wei Tao was still slightly puzzled, and he didn't quite understand what Zhuge Jin meant.

"Yuan Shang wants to compete with Yuan Tan, one of them is to make merits, and now the lord is attacking Jizhou, it is a person who has made meritorious contributions, Yuan Shang cannot not be unmoved, but someone must dissuade him, and it is difficult to decide for a while, so he will not move."

Zhuge Jin has already thought about everything clearly, and at this time, he naturally talks eloquently.

"If Yuan Xi can be made at this time, Yuan Shang will definitely be moved. And with the talents of the Yuan brothers, since they have already made some moves, how can they allow Gao Ran to stay behind closed doors? There must be a strict order, this is the order of the Yuan brothers, so dare Gao Ran disobey? Even if Gao Ran refused on the grounds of Yuan Shao's order, not to mention that the Yuan brothers would hate him, in this way, wouldn't it be a plan to surround the point and send reinforcements? As long as the Yuan brothers are broken all the way, what if they temporarily let go of this Changshan City? ”

Wei Tao thought about it carefully, and he already roughly understood what Zhuge Jin meant.

"Okay, I'll write to Xun Yu immediately."

Although it is said that there is a war between Bingzhou and Jizhou, except for Changshan County, other places are not under martial law, and people are still free to come and go.

In fact, Xun You didn't have the slightest intention of concealing it, that is, Dafang Fang lived in Zhongshan County.

At this time, even if it was the Yuan family, it was impossible to take Xun You down at will.

After all, Xun You still has the name of merging states to envoys, and the two countries have not killed the envoys when they exchange troops.

What's more, Xun You is also a member of the equally famous Xun family, if he dares to do this, the reputation of the Yuan family will definitely be ruined, who will dare to come to Yuan Shao at that time?

"I can't imagine that Yuan Shao has such a famous general, it's really rare."

After getting Wei Tao's message, Xun You only understood after thinking about it for a while.

"It's no wonder that the lord wants to persecute the Yuan brothers with this, no matter what, the Zhen family's idea of wanting to fall on both sides of the wall is too good, if they can't decide by themselves, then it's up to me to help them decide."

As soon as the letter was put away, Xun You came to Zhen's house again, and after being polite, Xun You said directly.

"The Zhen family has been thinking about it for a few days, but I don't know what the result is? I might as well say bluntly: Yuan Shao's theft of Jizhou and not returning it is a great rebellion, which is almost the same as Yuan Shu's others. Now that my lord has been ordered to attack Jizhou, I am the lord of the lord's minister, but it is not suitable to continue to stay here. Therefore, I came to ask, is the Zhen family willing to agree? ”

Hearing Xun You's words, the Zhen family suddenly looked at each other.

The people of the Zhen family are not stupid, and they naturally understand the meaning of Xun You's words, but how to let them answer these words, the hall was speechless for a while.

"Since you can't give an answer, then in the future, Hugh will blame my lord for being ruthless!"

Xun You suddenly got up and waved his sleeves, ready to leave the table.

"I've been here for a long time, and you haven't given an answer, and you really don't take my lord in your eyes. Although the Zhongshan Zhen family has a huge family business, it is not so deceitful! In the next farewell! I'll be leaving tomorrow, so I hope you can do it for yourself! ”

While speaking, Xun You just walked out, ignoring the Zhen family's retention.

Although Xun You's arrival was only a moment, the Zhen family was already in chaos, and Zhilu Dao must make a choice at this time.

"Someone! Pass my order and immediately go to Yecheng to spread his word, saying that the people of the Zhen family have promised to marry Zhen Mi to the lord, and at the same time order someone to spread the incompetence of the Yuan brothers, it is for the tiger father and the dog and the son! ”

Xun You is worthy of Xun You, after knowing Wei Tao's purpose, the fastest speed is to come up with a plan.

"No!"

The guards who came with Xun Yu immediately took the order and left.

However, what Xun You didn't expect was that when he was about to leave the next day, a car arrived, and then he saw a noble and elegant girl with a stunning appearance from the car.

"Zhen Mi has seen Mr. Gongda."

Hearing the girl's heavenly voice, Xun You couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Zhen Mi?

This is the little girl of the Zhen family, and she is really a national beauty, and she is also a match with the lord.

"I don't know what happened to Miss Zhen?"

"When I heard the name of General Wei Tao, I knew that the general was a hero at that time, and I longed for it. Although the people in the family are also opposed, Mi Wang can be a hero who sees me, even the parents at home can't stop him, and I hope that Mr. can take the little girl with him. ”

Hearing that Zhen Mi was going to go with him to see Wei Tao, even with Xun You's temperament, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

But Xun You is Xun You after all, he quickly figured it out, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said.

"That's fine, just ask the young lady to go with you." (To be continued......)
