To be able to exchange his own death for so many lives is worth it for Gao Ran personally. In this respect alone, he is at least a qualified general, and he still has soldiers in his heart.

With Gao Ran's death, the last thousand soldiers also had to give up resistance, but they did have another request, that is, they must bury Gao Ran, otherwise even if they know that they will die, they will fight to the end.

For this request, Lu Su agreed without hesitation, in fact, he also had respect for such a general who was considerate of the soldiers.

As soon as Gao Ran died, the entire north was unhindered, and the army rushed straight towards the giant deer.

At this time, Chun Yuqiong, the Eastern Route Army, also retreated back to Julu with an army of 80,000.

For a time, the number of troops in Julu reached an astonishing number, the remaining 100,000 of the Western Route Army plus the 80,000 brought by Chun Yuqiong, the original 50,000 in the city and the 5,000 taken by the senior cadres when they fled from Handan, a total of 235,000 people.

In Julu City, Yuan Shao urgently recruited more than 20,000 soldiers, so that the army was enough for 250,000.

With such a huge number, it should obviously be enough to hold a city, but when you look at the outflanking forces, you know that this number is far from enough.

The Northern Route Army, Huang Zhong's Second Army and the captured army were 300,000 people.

The number of the Eastern Route Army, the Taishi Ci Third Army Corps, the Waterway Army and the prisoners also reached 250,000.

The number of prisoners in the Western Route Army and Xu Huang's Fifth Army Corps also reached 150,000.

To the south, after Lu Bu's vanguard army fought in the three counties of Yangping, there were 200,000 prisoners along the way.

Taken together, the number of the four route armies is 900,000. It was far more than 250,000 more than when he entered Jizhou before. Naturally, these people are all the original Yuan Shao's army that surrendered.

With 900,000 against 250,000, even the siege is also very certain. Not to mention that Julu is now a lonely city, and it will not be able to find any reinforcements in a short period of time, and even the food, grass and water sources in the city will become a big problem for a long time.

It's just that in the face of such an advantage, Zhang Chao did not order the siege of the city.

The order was not issued, although the five legions here were anxious, they did not dare to use their own troops, and the power to use the troops was in the hands of the military division. Without the order of the lord, the four military advisors would definitely not forcibly attack the city.

...... ......

And the state of Jinyang City General's Mansion.

Zhang Chao looked at the battle report in front of him, and then looked at the letters sent by several legion commanders in private, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

To say that these five legion commanders are all warlike people, they even wrote to themselves one by one to ask to be the main attacker, and said that they would definitely take the giant deer, otherwise they would come to see them and so on.

Zhang Chao appreciates this fighting spirit in his heart, as a general, if he is afraid of war, then it will be difficult for him to achieve great achievements.

Is it just really storming the giant deer? Zhang Chao shook his head, such an attack would only be a defeat for both sides, and it could be seen that even if this siege was victorious, he would pay a heavy price, and this was not what he wanted.

The most powerful fortresses are often breached from the inside, and Zhang Chao, who knew the truth well, got up and said to the two guards outside the door: "Where is General Wen Chou cured?" ”

"Lord, it's in the backyard." Dian Wei's guard guard replied with his fists clenched, but no matter how he listened, he could hear a trace of reluctance in his voice.

Thinking about what kind of place the General's Mansion is, this can be said to be the most important and core place in Zhang Chao's group. It is not an exaggeration to say that if there is any problem here, then the Zhang Chao group, which has millions of troops, is likely to collapse in an instant, and there will be huge problems.

For the defense here, the two captains of the guard have always regarded it as a top priority. Not only are there 500 brocade guards here, but there are also 300 iron guards.

On both sides of the street outside the General's Mansion, there are 5,000 Zhang's troops stationed there. And not far away is the lair of the Tianyan organization, which is also backed by quite strong force, in case something happens here, they can support in the shortest possible time.

It is no exaggeration to say that the defense of the General's Mansion is absolutely impregnable, even if an army of 10,000 people suddenly kills out, it will not take the slightest advantage here.

But even in such a well-defended place, there was an enemy general, which really made the two captains of the guard dissatisfied.

Hearing the indignation in Dian Wei's heart, Zhang Chao didn't get angry, but smiled and said: "Okay, you don't have to have any emotions, you know, Wen Chou is a very powerful person, and his force value is stronger than some of our army commanders." Such people must be saved. As I said, Mr. Hua Tuo's Mr. Zhang Zhongjing lives in the general's mansion, and if he wants to heal them, he is naturally the best candidate, so is it difficult to trouble the two generals to walk around every day, once any danger is caused, who can be responsible? ”

Zhang Chao: This is not nonsense. It's like Zhang Zhongjing was snatched back from Zhang Chao's hands, he was afraid that this would happen, so he gave key protection to the two gentlemen, and he usually rested in the General's Mansion, because the defense here is the most solid, and he is not afraid that anyone will come out of the heart of watching.

Zhang Chao rarely explained, which also made Dian Wei and Xu Chu not know what to say, after all, they are the lords, and they did not blame themselves for the disrespect of their words, but also gave an explanation, which is a very touching thing.

Seeing that the two guard chiefs were no longer talking, Zhang Chao smiled again and said, "Okay, please lead the way and go see this general." ”

actually used the word please, Dian Wei and Xu Chu never dared to take it, and hurriedly said: "The lord doesn't use the word please, we will lead the way." ”

Accompanied by the two captains of the guards and eight iron guards, this entered a side courtyard behind the General's Mansion.

As soon as he entered here, Zhang Chao noticed that there were many figures of Tie Wei and Jinyi Guards around him, obviously the two guard chiefs were also worried that this Wen Chou would do something harmful, so they took care of this place.

"Huh." Zhang Chao smiled at the caution of the two guard chiefs, but he really didn't have the slightest intention of withdrawing troops, probably because he also had a very clear understanding of Wen Chou's strength.

There have been good deeds to the Three Kingdoms period of the military generals ranked, there are many sayings, but the more true is that one Lu two Zhao three Dian Wei, four passes, five horses and six Zhang Fei, Huang Xu Sun Tai two Xiahou, two Zhang Xu Pang Gan Zhou Wei, the spear god Zhang Xiu and Wen Yan, although brave and helpless, the life is too sad, the three kingdom twenty-four generals, the end of Deng Ai and Jiang Wei.

Among them, there is the name of Wen Chou. Of course, there is also a saying that Wen Chou's personal force should be ranked among the top ten.

Zhang Chao didn't want to argue anything about this statement, but from the battle report sent by Jia Xu, it can be seen that either Tai Shici and Gan Ning are difficult to defeat Wen Chou in a heads-up, and this person is indeed extraordinary.

That is, of course, Zhang Chao will not wait to ignore it. Naturally, the more talents, the better, and he will not have too much.

Walking into the courtyard of the ground, I saw Hua Tuo who was playing five birds there.

If you want to be a miracle doctor, first of all, you have a set of self-body maintenance.

When Hua Tuo saw the iron guards appear, and Zhang Chao also appeared, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I've seen the lord." ”

"Hehe, Mr. Hua doesn't need to be so polite." Seeing that facing Hua Tuo, Zhang Chao never took a shelf, and after a smile flashed on his face, he asked, "Sir, how is General Wenchou's body?" ”

"Hmm. There is no problem with the external injury, and Mr. Zhongjing is treating the internal injury. Hua Tuo said respectfully.

To say that Hua Tuo in history will not be too respectful to Cao Cao, that is, the emperor is often just the instinct of a practitioner of medicine, and the most in their eyes is the patient. But Zhang Chao did give them a completely different feeling, the establishment of Zhangjia Medical College, let countless people practice medicine together, this is definitely a matter for the benefit of the world, this alone is enough to make a generation of famous doctors like Huahua and Zhang Zhongjing give the greatest respect.

Hearing Hua Tuo say that Zhang Zhongjing was treating internal injuries, Zhang Chao couldn't help but nodded. These two miracle doctors complement each other, one inside and one outside, as long as people don't have their own breath, most of them can come back to life.

"Okay, I'll go in and have a look." Zhang Chao smiled at Hua Tuo, and walked into the inner room with the two chief guards. There are also a few burly guards guarding here, and it is obvious that they do not dare to have a trace of carelessness towards the captured Wen Chou.

In the inner room, there was a man in a white robe who was busy there, holding some herbs of different colors in his hands, which were first put to the tip of his nose and smelled, and then slowly put into a ceramic jar in front of him, presumably dispensing medicine.

"Mr. Zhongjing." Behind him, Zhang Chao, who had a smile on his face, whispered.

Hearing the shout, Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly turned around, and after seeing that the person who came was Zhang Chao, he hurriedly said in a very respectful tone: "Hello lord." ”

Thinking that Zhang Zhongjing, like Hua Tuo, is grateful because Zhang Chao opened a medical school, after all, treating the people of the world, reducing the number of people who are sick, and allowing the people to be treated for their illnesses is originally the ambition in his heart.

Zhang Chao also glanced at the person in front of him, who could be described as having thick eyebrows, but he did have a kind face and smiled: "Mr. Zhongjing has worked hard. ”

"The lord is hard." Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly said, and at the same time, his footsteps involuntarily retreated backwards. Obviously, he had guessed why Zhang Chao was here.

Zhang Chao nodded his head lightly, walked forward slowly, and asked out loud at the same time, "Mr. Zhongjing, how is Wen Chou's condition?" ”
