Chapter VIII

Liyang, in the conference hall, Yuan Shao, who had woken up, stared at the overwhelmed soldiers, with a bit of unspeakable fatigue on his dusty face, all the way out of Yecheng, and fled here, having exhausted his physical strength.

"What's your name?" Xu You looked at this soldier with a smile, although Yuan Shao woke up, but with his understanding of Yuan Shao, at this time, it is better not to take the initiative to talk, and shift everyone's attention to this dusty soldier, short, but very strong, dark skin, with a bit of agility in his eyes, if it is at other times, such a seedling may be able to be promoted, but at this moment......

"The villain Chen Gang has met Mr. Xu." The soldier was a little flattered, Xu Yu is a famous man all over the world, and he is also an important minister around Yuan Shao, his eyes are above the top on weekdays, and he won't even look at ordinary soldiers.

"Chen Gang? Good name! Xu You smiled and nodded, just when everyone was puzzled, a cold light appeared on his waist, and in the stunned gaze of the soldier, Confucian sal sal pierced his throat sharply.

"Ziyuan, ...... you" Everyone looked at Xu You with a gloomy face in amazement, Xu You at this moment has lost his previous gentle and elegant temperament, and the cold aura emanating from his body at that moment made these colleagues who should have been familiar feel strange, and a chill surged into everyone's hearts.

Yuan Shao also frowned slightly, looking at Xu You, a little puzzled, but he seemed to understand something.

"At the beginning, extraordinary times should do extraordinary things, if this news spreads in the army, the army is afraid of instability, it is imperative to hide the news first, I guess that since Li Ziyang has taken Yecheng, he will definitely let Zhao Yun, Luo Feng, and Wu Yunzhao three troops and horses go south quickly. Converging with it, at that time, the internal military will be disrupted, and the external belly will be affected by the enemy, I am afraid that before the enemy army comes to fight, our army will be in chaos first! Xu You said in a deep voice.

"You're doing a good job!" Yuan Shao nodded, frowned, and said, "It's just the news of the fall of Yecheng." I'm afraid it won't be long before I can hide it. ”

"Then before that, the three-way army will be defeated, at that time, without foreign aid, Li Xuan will sit on Yecheng, but it is just a lonely city, we only need to contact all the county guards and work together to besiege it, and we will be able to recapture Yecheng!" Xu You said with a firm face.

"It's fine." Yuan Shao nodded a little dejectedly and said, "My heart is in turmoil." The matter here is fully handed over to Ziyuan and all the virtuous! ”

Looking at Yuan Shao with a depressed face, Xu You, Xian Pei, Feng Ji and others couldn't help but sigh slightly, it seems that the pain of destroying the door has made Yuan Shao have a sign of collapse, this is not a good sign, but at the moment, he can only get through the current difficulties first, and then he is qualified to talk about anything else.

At this time, Yuan Shao's strategists already had the rudiments of a faction. But Yuan Shao's wings are not full, although there are factions. But it is not obvious, although there are filthy differences between several major strategists, but at this time of crisis, everyone can put aside their personal grievances on weekdays and work together to fight the enemy.

Meanwhile. Giant deer, Taishou Mansion,

Gao Ran walked out of the Taishou Mansion with an angry face, with an angry expression, and a little helplessness, this time he was ordered to come to the giant deer Taishou. It was with great enthusiasm to come, Julu County was the base camp of the Yellow Turban Thief Qiu Zhangjiao, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although it was not full of devastation, but the Julu family was also clear by the Yellow Turban Thief countless times, and it has long since ceased to exist, whether it is Han Fu or Yuan Shao in charge of Jizhou, they have not paid attention to this Julu County, Julu Taishou is the only military general Taishou among the nine counties of Jizhou, and he was able to take the position at the beginning, and Gao Ran made a great effort.

I thought it was a matter of course, but in the end, it made Gao Ran extremely annoyed, with this depression, Gao Ran returned to the temporary place of residence, frowning and thinking about today's things, since the other party was unwilling to surrender, it was obviously Yuan Shao's heart, how could he let himself go so easily?

Thinking of this, Gao Ran was shocked, and at this moment, an accompanying guard hurriedly came in and said with a solemn face: "General, we seem to be surrounded by people!" ”

Gao Ran didn't speak, went straight to the window, stretched out his hand to push open the window, the street was deserted, it seemed that there was no difference from weekdays, but he had been on the battlefield for a long time, but he could feel a breath of soldiers permeating the surroundings, in the past, although the giant deer was deserted, but as a county governor, there was still some popularity, but at this moment, the whole street seemed extremely depressed, pedestrians were extinct, and the bottom of my heart couldn't help but sink, it seems that this giant deer Taishou didn't really want to let himself go, before letting himself leave, I'm afraid it was to paralyze himself, Second, he is also afraid of his own bravery.

Although Gao Ran is a military general, he is not a reckless man, the causes and consequences are connected, and he quickly guessed the other party's thoughts, and couldn't help but snort coldly, just a giant deer, if you want to leave, do you really think you can stop it? It's a pity that the first time I worked for the lord, it was such a result, and I was really unwilling.

"The general seems a little confused?" An elegant and somewhat cold voice suddenly sounded in the room.

"Is that you?" Gao Ran suddenly turned his head, and when he saw it, it was a tall and handsome woman with purple hair, looking at this side with a warm face, Gao Ran's eyes couldn't help shrinking, how did the other party come in?

Not to mention the enemy troops lurking in the shadows outside, the eighteen guards accompanying him alone were all honed from countless bloody battles, and they were extremely vigilant, but they were silently approached by the other party, which was really terrifying.

"Gao Ran, I've seen the hall master." Bowing slightly, the purple-haired woman in front of her, Gao Ran is naturally no stranger, this operation, but Li Xuan turned into a faction to cooperate with him.

Gao Ran still clearly remembered what Li Xuan said to himself when he left: "If there is anything that cannot be solved or is inconvenient to solve, you can entrust it to Yuzi." ”

Gao Ran didn't understand, what is the use of a woman? If it's a problem that can't even be solved by yourself, is it useful to find her? also with such a mentality, although he did not directly refuse Li Xuan's kindness, but he also did not think of asking a woman to help, after coming to Julu, he was even more busy visiting some friends in the past, in order to be able to get the support of these people, and he almost forgot about Poison Island Tsuiko, and Poison Island Tsuneko was also uncertain after arriving in Guangzong, which made Gao Ran think that this woman had left, but who knew that today it would suddenly appear at this time.

"General Gao is polite." Poison Island Tsuneko smiled, no one who had ever seen her make a move, it was difficult to associate the quiet and elegant woman in front of him with her in a fighting state, even if it was the first time to contact Poison Island Tsuneko, it was naturally even more difficult to understand the terrifying power hidden under that elegance and nobility.

"I didn't know the hall master was here. But what's the important news? Gao Ran asked tentatively, for the dark hall, as a new general, of course, he didn't know much, he just thought that it was an agency specializing in collecting intelligence, and he took it for granted that Poison Island Tsuneko came here to send information.

Shake your head. Poison Island Yanzi said: "We are here, Mr. Wenhe has already expected that this Wujin may not be willing to give in, the general's trip may not go well, if the general can successfully persuade Wujin to surrender, Yanzi will not interfere, but if the general's action is blocked, Yanzi is responsible for the aftermath." ”

What is aftercare?

Gao Ran's face was a little dark, but he was just facing such a beautiful and generous face. The woman who spoke elegantly couldn't get angry, so she could only say sullenly: "I don't know what the master of the Poison Island Hall has to do?" ”

Poison Island Yanzi's face was solemn, and he said solemnly: "The lord has already spoken before, presumably General Gao still remembers." ”

Gao Ran was slightly stunned, remembering that before leaving, Li Xuan had indeed explained that if Wu Jin cooperated. If you don't cooperate, then this giant deer is too guarded. It's time for someone else to sit down.

The tone was faint, but there was a strong sense of confidence, as if changing a giant deer to Li Xuan was too guarded, it was an easy thing to do as easy as picking up things, but thinking about it afterwards, Gao Ran felt a little unreliable. This is Jizhou Taishou, not Youzhou, although Julu County is relatively desolate and barren in Jizhou, but a dignified county is too shou, how can an outsider change it? A hall master. Inexplicable title, Gao Ran didn't think that the other party had this kind of energy, so he didn't take it to heart afterwards, and still followed his own path.

Now, when Poison Island Tsuneko mentioned it, Gao Ran couldn't help frowning, looking at the other party's appearance, it seemed that he was serious, but, how could this be possible?

He looked at Poison Island Tsuneko incredulously, but saw Poison Island Tsuneko smiled elegantly and said: "General Gao is waiting for good news, as for Wujin, leave it to the Dark Hall to deal with." ”

Something to do?

Looking at the calm and confident look of Poison Island Tsuiko, the dark hall was a little more mysterious in Gao Ran's heart, and he nodded and said, "In this way, Gao is here to wait for good news." ”

Poison Island Tsuiko left, but Gao Ran didn't really stay here stupidly, those people outside still have to be solved, although they failed to successfully complete the task, but for this mission, Gao Ran made a lot of preparations, enough thousands of guards, were sent to Guangzong by Gao Ran through various channels in advance, if these thousand guards are put on the battlefield today, maybe it's just a drop in the ocean, but if they are put in Guangzong City, where the garrison is empty and there is no general stationed, under Gao Ran's ability bonus, as long as he is not in a desperate situation, he can definitely go sideways, After all, although there are many defenders in Guangzong City, it is impossible to put all of them into the battlefield, and coupled with the terrain factors, it is definitely very difficult to besiege and kill an army led by a fierce general like Gao Ran.

Here, under the organization of Gao Ran, he began to clear the enemy soldiers lurking on the periphery, not to mention for the time being, in the city lord's mansion, Wu Jin summoned the generals and officials in the city after Gao Ran left.

Opportunity!

This is the most sincere idea in Wu Jin's heart after Gao Ran explained his intentions, although Li Xuan was powerful, almost swept one-third of Jizhou's land with a sweeping momentum, but the deep-rooted concept in his bones made Wu Jin not optimistic about Li Xuan, just like Gongsun Zhan before Isn't it also overwhelming to capture a large number of cities in Jizhou? But the result? In the end, he was not beaten by Yuan Shao? Don't look at Li Xuan's joy now, but Wu Jin always believes that the final winner must be Yuan Shao, the aura of the fourth world and the third prince has indeed brought a lot of hidden assets to Yuan Shao, and people who think like Wu Jin are by no means a minority in Jizhou and even the whole world.

However, the arrival of Gao Ran also made Wu Jin see an opportunity, which can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a chance to get rid of this barren Julu County and enter the core of Jizhou's rights, if he can help Yuan Shao bring down Li Xuan, he will definitely be able to get Yuan Shao's appreciation, and staying in the core of Jizhou is much stronger than being too guarded in this desolate and barren giant deer, and Gao Ran is undoubtedly a good stepping stone, just think about the ability of Hebei Siting Zhu, Wu Jin is still a little self-aware, Julu is already barren, and the strength in his hands is limited, After all, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to delegate military power to the locality, so that the local area has the opportunity to support the army and stand on its own, and it is okay to defend the city, but it is somewhat unrealistic to capture and kill a fierce general like Gao Lan.

Therefore, after stabilizing Gao Lan and ordering someone to monitor it thoroughly, he quickly invited the generals in the city who were called military generals, first, to make his position clear, and secondly, to take this opportunity to clean up the forces of Julu that had always been against him.

"Lord Taishou, rest assured, Li Xuan has gone against the grain and ruined the lives of the people, even if he has a great reputation? I'm going to follow you to the death! A military general said impassionedly.

"Yes, I'll follow you to the death!" Someone took the lead, and others naturally responded, although they knew that these people were just patting themselves on the back, but listening to these people's praises, they still couldn't help but feel a little fluttery.

"Okay, since you and Ben Taishou have reached an agreement, I'll wait here to gather people and act according to the plan!" Wujin is arrogant.

"I don't think there's any need for that." A faint sigh rang out inappropriately in the courtyard.

"What man!?" Wu Jin was shocked, he can be regarded as a second-rate general, he can be favored by Gao Ran, and he still has some ability in his hands, at this moment, Wen Wenyan hurriedly pulled out the sword on his waist, looked around, but failed to find the shadow of the person who came.

"The master has an order, Wujin doesn't know the current affairs, he doesn't care about the people's will, and he has no virtue to take charge of the people's livelihood in a county. In a crisp sound, the already bright weather suddenly brightened, and then returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

But the next moment, time seemed to be frozen, when everyone's eyes turned back to Wu Jin, everyone was stunned, only to see Wu Jin maintain the posture of drawing his sword, looking forward with a sense of horror on his face, at the center of his eyebrows, there was a thin line of blood, which was constantly expanding, rapidly spreading to the entire body.

Crash~

Blood arrows poured out of the body along with internal organs, although a group of generals had also killed people, but they never thought that someone would be able to cleanly split a second-rate military general, and even so far, no one has seen the shadow of the comer, and a chill instantly enveloped everyone's hearts.

Is this an assassin? (To be continued......)
