Han Juzi left, Zhang Lang was starting to block the problem of Lejin's pursuers, and his general Gao Ran immediately came and said: "Lord, my subordinates think that this is a very moment, and everything should be careful." There is no need for the lord to do this himself, just hand it over to his subordinates. ”

Zhang Lang raised his head when he heard this, his eyes fell on Gao Ran's thin and sturdy body, there was a look of approval in his eyes, and he said calmly: "Okay, I will leave this matter to you, I can rest assured." But you must remember, no matter whether you can eliminate the Lejin troops or not, after an hour, you will leave me immediately, otherwise Sima Yi will chase the troops up, but it will be a big trouble. ”

Gao Ran's thin shoulders were as tall as a javelin, his face was a little yellow, but there was no expression, he clasped his fists with both hands, and saluted slightly: "Don't worry, my subordinates will definitely live up to their mission." After an hour, no matter what the situation, the subordinates will evacuate immediately. ”

Zhang Lang nodded approvingly, although Gao Lan didn't say much, but he did what he said, and he had a good martial arts and a shrewd brain, there was indeed no more perfect talent than the task he carried out.

Zhang Lang patted Gao Ran on the shoulder, although he felt very thin, his whole body was full of strength, as stable as a rock, and he nodded slightly: "Then you go, it's better to be careful." ”

Gao Ran said with a solemn face: "Then the subordinates will go." ”

Zhang Lang suddenly thought of something and said loudly: "Wait." ”

Gao Ran was just about to leave, when he heard the words and stopped, "What else does the lord command?" ”

Zhang Lang pondered for a moment, and said quickly: "I have 6,000 people and 500 eagle guards under my command, so I will intercept Lejin, and I will transfer 5,000 men and horses to you, so that you can distribute them with full authority." ”

Gao Ran's face was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately said loudly: "No, the main public security is not a child's play, the six thousand people, the subordinates only need half of it, and they can complete the task properly." ”

Zhang Lang frowned slightly, and said with some displeasure: "Although the remnants of Huang Gai have not gone through the accurate number, they will definitely not exceed three thousand, and there are at least more than 10,000 soldiers in Lejin, not counting the Cao soldiers who may support at any time, I am not afraid of 10,000 in this matter, but I am afraid that in case, I can't see you have a little surprise." ”

Gao Ran swore and said: "The main public security crisis is not child's play, three thousand, plus three thousand of General Huang, and there is no intention, if this still can't complete the task, the subordinates will voluntarily carry the head to see the lord." ”

Zhang Lang stared at Gao Ran, who looked calm, and inadvertently, a strong message emanated from that sharp eye.

Zhang Lang suddenly smiled, his eyes narrowed, and without saying anything, he left with the remaining three thousand centaurs and the Black Eagle Guard.

Zhang Langrut walked for only about half an hour, and groups of Cao soldiers appeared one after another in the distance, rolling in a formation like a long dragon, and the smoke and dust were billowing and whistling. Looking at their momentum and posture, they have the appearance of not giving up if they don't catch up with Huang Gai.

Han Juzi remembered Zhang Lang's orders, and there was no need to disguise anything at all, the embarrassed appearance of the three thousand soldiers was originally a fact, and now he only needed to introduce them into the valley. What you need to do next depends on Gao Lan's performance.

Although Le Jin has experienced a hundred battles and has a smart and calm mind, but at this time Sima Dajun occupies a full advantage, and under the sandwich of several people, Zhang Lang fled in embarrassment is an indisputable fact, and at this time it is another wave of miserable defeats, I didn't expect Zhang Lang to have the courage to dare to pull teeth in the tiger's mouth, so he chased all the way.

Han Juzi's defeated army retreated to the valley mouth, and Le Jin chased after him without thinking too much. Because the inner side of this canyon is several miles long, tight on the outside and wide on the inside, there are dangerous walls on both sides, and there are no extra weeds and shrubs, Le Jin just glanced at it lightly, and concluded that such a place is not suitable for fire attack, although the cliffs on the valley may be high and down, throwing wood, boulders, and arrows, but judging from the current situation, the Jiangdong Army has no chance to prepare at all. So Lejin made a quick decision and immediately led the men and horses through the canyon and chased after him.

After a large number of Cao soldiers poured into the valley, a cannon suddenly rang out outside, and then a huge shout came from all directions. The soldiers led by Gao Ran rushed out from the outside. At the forefront were more than a dozen auxiliary vehicles burning with dangerous fires, and a large amount of smoke rose from the cars. The soldiers on the cart each wore a wet cloth similar to a mask on their faces, and quickly rushed to the entrance of the valley.

With the advancement of more than ten auxiliary vehicles, a row of archers in the back followed by a random shot, pressing the corner of the formation, not allowing Cao Bing to rush out, and then another school of infantry came up and blocked the exit, and a few of them were sandwiched in the middle with extra-large fans similar to banana leaves, desperately fanning the smoke into it. There were also many taxis in the back holding the collected materials and throwing them into the valley from time to time.

Due to the very little time to prepare, Gao Ran could only hastily pack up more than ten auxiliary vehicles discarded by Guo Jia when they retired in a short period of time, and then spread hay, sand, wet cloth, dead branches and other things to ignite, because these things contain a lot of water, so it is impossible to burn, but it can emit a large amount of suffocating smoke, if the time can be a little more abundant, you can also collect more auxiliary vehicles, and spread a layer of toxins such as grass on them, these alone are enough to suffocate Cao Bing who is blocked in it half to death.

If it weren't for the vastness of this valley and the small number of auxiliary vehicles, it would indeed be able to cause huge losses to Cao Bing. Xiao is like this, after those Cao soldiers near the valley mouth inhaled a trace of smoke, they couldn't help but choke and cough, tears flowed, nausea wanted to vomit, dizziness and dizziness, and their combat effectiveness was sharply reduced for a while. And the Jiangdong Army, under the brave leadership of Gao Lan, rushed into the valley with wet mouth cloth covers, waved their weapons, and slashed at Cao Bing. Cao Bing, who was surrounded by smoke, where was there still combat power to speak of, and desperately retreated inside. Gao Ran took every step of the way, controlling the entrance, and batches of grass, trees, dead branches, and sand and gravel were transported in, and the dry and wet ones were mixed together and ignited. The mouth of the valley was filled with smoke, screams were repeated, and a fierce killing began to sound sharply.

Cao Bing screamed loudly and shouted hoarsely, but few soldiers dared to rush into the smoke to fight the Jiangdong army.

Although Cao Bing couldn't stand the smoke, the Jiangdong Army with the muzzle felt a little disgusting for a long time, some people quickly exited the valley and gasped for breath, and some people desperately drank the water transported.

The smoke at the mouth of the valley is the thickest, and gusts of mountain wind blow just from the south, bringing it into the valley, and the smoke thinner the deeper the canyon enters. Cao Bing inside gently scratched a piece, and calmed down, because the number of smoke cars was limited, so there was no large area inside.

The enemy general Le Jin always maintained a calm face, and indeed had the courage to collapse in front of Taishan without changing his color, he shouted and commanded: "Zulang, now that the Jiangdong Army is newly defeated, it is impossible to integrate the men and horses from the new at once, so I guess there is no large number of soldiers there, you take a team of men and horses for me to rush out from behind, even if you can't rush out, you have to give me the enemy army outside." ”

A soldier with a big sword in his hand and a splendid robe shouted loudly, rode out of the horse, and said with a trembling face: "General, the enemy army is cunning, and the soldiers are rushing straight away like this, I am afraid that something is wrong." ”

Le Jin scolded angrily: "Bastard, why don't you use your brain, let the soldier tear off the cloth towel and wet it and cover its nostrils." ”

Zu Lang muttered: "But we entered the valley and traveled all the way, but we didn't find any water source at all. ”

Le Jin raised his eyebrows angrily, and said in a sharp voice: "How can you be this Zhonglang general, do you have to let General Ben arrange everything before and after?" If you can't find water, you have to use urine, hum. Le Jin's eyes swept over as if they were murderous, making Zu Lang tremble for a while.

Le Jin didn't pay attention to Zu Lang's swaying mentality, raised the weapon in his hand, and shouted: "All the soldiers rush out for me, Huang Gai's remnants of the defeated army are not worried, and those who kill the enemy will be rewarded." As Le Jin roared, the horses began to whizz all the way through the four hooves. A large number of Cao soldiers with high morale followed the pace of Lejin and swarmed up.

Zu Lang had a bitter face, but he couldn't help the military order, so he could only carry a big knife and retreat quickly with the soldiers.

Gao Ran felt that his mind was also a little heavy at this time, and a large amount of smoke kept rising, drifting around, and the gathering place was almost invisible to his five fingers, which was extremely dense. At the mouth of the valley, from time to time I heard the fierce coughing of soldiers, and some even choked on tears. If it weren't for the fear that Han Juzi's side would be attacked by Lejin, Gao Ran really didn't want to advance half a step.

Compared to the situation here, Han Juzi's situation was a little unoptimistic, and he was rushed by the troops of Lejin Juzhong, although he withstood this wave of impact, but also paid the price of hundreds of casualties.

The two armies fought fiercely, Han Juzi struggled to support, and Gao Ran advanced step by step, as the smoke dispersed, the two armies finally confronted each other, but at this time, the time was almost two hours away.

Han Juzi saw that he was about to be unable to withstand it, and he was afraid that the casualties would be more serious, so he shouted decisively: "Order, start retreating immediately." ”

As soon as Han Juzi retreated, Le Jin concentrated his forces and turned around to prepare to deal with Gao Ran, who knew that Gao Ran had already prepared, seeing Han Juzi retreating, the soles of his feet were faster than smeared with oil, and with an order, the soldiers disappeared without a trace.

Although Le Jin repelled Gao Ran and Han Juzi's attacks, he was not happy at all, but kept his face stiff. When inspecting the soldiers, fortunately, it was found that the casualties were not large, but some soldiers were obviously lightheaded, vomiting non-stop, and in severe cases, they were directly unconscious. Loss of combat power in a short period of time. It was this phenomenon that made Le Jin dispel the order to pursue Gao Ran.

In this way, Gao Ran and Han Juzi's troops retreated in the direction of Huaixian without danger.

A few days later, Zhang Lang returned safely to Huai County, and Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other people who arrived first got the news and came out to greet each other and say goodbye to each other.

Guo Jia just glanced at it, then smiled and said: "The lord has no danger all the way, which is really gratifying." ”

Zhang Lang didn't have the feeling of being immortal and escaping, and his expression was very indifferent: "It's nothing, it's just that Sima Yi calculated it, and I feel a little unhappy." ”

Guo Jia hurriedly comforted: "Since ancient times, victory and defeat have been a common thing in soldiers, and the lord doesn't have to take it to heart, and the offensive and defensive battle of the state has just begun, and the next development of things is even more difficult to predict, who wins and who loses, it is difficult to make a conclusion for a while." And didn't the lord let Ling Tong and Lu Meng touch the court and the field, and Muye? With the Quancong army, it doesn't take a few days to take this place, and if they are allowed to cut deep again, presumably Sima Yi will also have a headache for a long time. ”

Zhang Lang had already stepped into the county seat at this time, and the soldiers on both sides greeted each other, all of them were heroic, where was the low spirit of the defeated soldiers? Zhang Lang felt very satisfied after reading it, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't take away the land for a while, don't fight for the city, on the surface, Sima Yi has taken a big advantage, but who knows that secretly it has created a great opportunity for us." He drove us back to Huaixian, and it was impossible for us to still hold the army on the Taihang Road. Once they set up troops to guard the outer guard of Tianjing Pass, it will give us a great opportunity to nibble away at our opponents. ”

Guo Jia stroked his palms and laughed: "It turns out that the lord has already thought of this step, but his subordinates are too worried. ”

Zhang Lang snorted twice and said coldly: "Sima Yi has Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder, and everyone will see who will kill the deer." ”

Guo Jia's smile was even thicker, but a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "The big war is only now really beginning." ”

Zhang Lang looked up to the sky and smiled, his voice was like a dusk drum and a bell, shaking the entire city wall.

At this time, Zhang Lang got into the four-horse Jinyi car, followed by a row of ceremonial musicians, and the fluttering and beautiful music kept playing.

He looked coldly into the distance, the red sun hung high in the sky, the blue sky was like washing, even if there were clouds floating by, it was also under the light, as clear as white. Zhang Lang seemed to sigh: "The golden light is shining, the grace is all over the sky, turning over the hands for the clouds, and covering the hands for the rain." If you have a trick, you will always let the entire Huaxia place be bathed in my light. After saying this, Zhang Lang stared into the distance, and said in a deep voice to a few surprised henchmen around him: "What I said just now, you can just put it in your heart." ”

Cheng Yu and the others led by Guo Jia didn't understand what Zhang Lang meant, and their eyes showed ecstasy, but each of them couldn't help but shout, and said respectfully: "My subordinates understand." ”

Yes, they understood the most important link in Zhang Lang's words, and after the battle of Sima Yi, Zhang Lang officially revealed his determination to conquer the world and establish himself as king.
