"Chief Wen doesn't have to worry about this, the lord has already arranged this matter."

Xu Shu said with a smile.

Wei Yan was stunned and asked curiously, "What is the arrangement, why don't I know anything at all?" ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "You warlike temperament, you only care about chasing all the way, how can you have the heart to know this." ”

Saying that, he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Hao Zhao has already led the army to Cishan, as long as Shexian County is not breached, Gao Ran can only go to drill the mountains and forests, and I don't know if there are any mushrooms in Taihang Mountain for him to pick." ”

Fukou is one of the eight Taihang mountains, Shexian is located in the west section of Fukou, the east section of the canyon is Cishan, Gaolan attacks Shexian is actually a big pit.

Unless it can be broken quickly, it will become a turtle in an urn with two blocked ends, this is really not Guo Jia calculating him, but Cao Cao doesn't want to spend any more effort here.

No matter how difficult it is to fight, Shexian is just a county seat, and if you really want to fight with heavy troops, you can fight it.

The most difficult to fight in Taihang Bacheng is Jing Cheng and Yi Guan, Jing Cheng has Niangzi Pass, and Yi Guan has Houma City, which is a dangerous pass between Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain, and Han Xin almost broke his halberd there.

At this time, Gao Ran wanted to cry without tears, and attacked for eight days in a row, but more than half of his men suffered casualties, but there was no way to take Shexian County.

He is the original general of Hebei, and he can count every one of the Taihang Eight Mountains, but the current Fukou is completely different.

Yuan Xi began to strengthen these dangerous passes the year before last, and set up several military stations on the mountains along the way around Shexian County, with a small number of people, but they were all places where one man could not open the pass.

There is no way to reinforce Shexian in these places, but it is absolutely possible to sneak attack you in the back, you can only divide your troops to defend everywhere and prevent them from going down the mountain.

But he only has 3,000 people, 100 here, 100 there, and only a little more than 2,000 people can attack Shexian in the end.

Moreover, the division of troops will cause a decline in morale, and the soldiers are worried about which place is not defended, and they will be attacked by the enemy at night, and they will not sleep well at night, and they will not be energetic during the day.

It can only be said that Yuan Xi is too tricky, and there is only one way to fight a battle like this, that is, first uproot all the strongholds along the way, and then concentrate troops to storm Shexian.

In fact, there are only 1,000 and 5 defenders in Shexian County, but they are all veterans who are good at defense, and they will not attack, and they will consume you here.

Now Gao Ran is facing a dilemma, it is impossible to fight again, no one wants to fight, but it is obviously not feasible to withdraw from Fukou, and in eight days, the army on his side has already withdrawn to Wei County.

Fukou is located in the west of Handan, and without the siege of the army, Handan City has been able to free up its hands to encircle itself.

He didn't know that Handan actually didn't send troops, but Hao Zhao of Guangzong City came, and only brought 3,000 soldiers to Cishan City to guard the exit east of Fukou.

"General, there are only two ways at the moment, one is to go up the mountain and climb over Taihang Mountain to find General Zhang, and the other is ......"

Adjutant General Wu Dun left half of his words, but Gao Ran understood what he meant, and sighed and said, "I am different from you!" At the beginning, I was a general in Hebei, and I descended to Cao Gong, and now I am the son of the old master, how will the world view me? ”

Wu Dun laughed and said, "Can't the general see it? Cao Sikong is to send us to death in this battle, we are all generals, why didn't he send Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xiahou and others? ”

Gao Ran bowed his head and was silent, pondered, and then raised his head for a while and said: "If you want to surrender, you can only surrender and merge the state, Gao and the state are my brothers, maybe you can protect some." ”

Wu Dun waited for his words, otherwise he would have surrendered himself, he was born as a thief in Taishan, and he took refuge in Lu Bu to attack Yanzhou.

After Lu Bu's death, all of them were recruited by Cao Cao, and there were Sun Guan, Sun Kang, Yin Li and others from the same background as him, led by the famous Zang Ba.

Two days later, Yuan Xi received news that Gao Ran surrendered to the defenders of Shexian on the condition that he go to serve with Gao Gan in Bingzhou, and it seems that he still does not know that Gao Gan is already Yuan Xi's person.

That's right, this guy's brain is not as good as Cao Cao and others, he was explained by Zhang He when he surrendered to Cao Cao, and he didn't want to think about whether he and Zhang He's situation could be the same.

The Zhang family is a strong man in Jizhou, and anyone can surrender, but he is a member of Gao Gan's clan, and Gao Gan and Yuan Shao have an unclear nephew and uncle.

is the closest to his maternal uncle, Gao Gan grew up with Yuan Shao since he was a child, Yuan Shao is likely to kill Zhang He, but the chance of killing him is too small.

"Inform my cousin, let Wu Dun go to Qingzhou, contact the Yellow Turban Army Xu He and Sima Ju's department, give Zhang Liao a chrysanthemum bloom, and tell them that Chang Feng in the East China Sea will also rebel, and Cao Cao will take care of himself."

Yuan Xi paced a few steps and said with a smile, he remembered that Chang Feng in his memory was the one who rebelled this year, and this guy was a capricious person.

Like Wu Dun and others, he was born as a thief in Taishan, surrendered to Cao Cao twice, rebelled twice, and was finally beheaded by Yu Ban.

The reason why he remembers it so clearly is because Chang Xuan is so interesting, Zhuge Liang's later teacher table said about this person, and Yu Ban's biography also said about him.

Chang Xuan's original name was Changba, and the word is the contemptuous name of the people, which means a big wild boar, which shows the world's disgust with him.

As for Xu He and Sima Ju, they were the old stubborn of the Yellow Turban Army, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were basically incorporated by Cao Cao, but these two were diehards and resolutely resisted Cao Cao.

The two of them are in the area of Le'an and Beihai, from Kong Rong to Beihai Minister, he was the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and he has been there for so many years, so it can be seen that it is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Let Wu Dun go because it is Sun Guan who is now guarding Beihai, who is Wu Dun's old friend, and maybe there will be an unexpected gain.

Yuan Xi's plan was exactly Jia Xu's idea, and the old yin man Jia Xu was the best at scheming behind him, and was appointed as a military advisor after surrendering to Yuan Xi.

Xu Shu volunteered to be his deputy, but Jia Xu suggested that he be invisible and not show his face in Hebei officials, so as not to bring a bad reputation to Yuan Xi.

After all, what Yuan Xi said at the beginning was righteous and strict, and this turn of his head brought people under his command and awarded them to high-ranking officials, which is unreasonable.

Needless to say, the benefits of stealth are not to mention, Yuan Xi and him have benefited, although the world knows that he surrendered to Hebei, but because he surrendered on his own initiative, it is understandable that Yuan Xi did not kill him.

But if it is awarded to a high-ranking official, it will be different, it means that you Yuan Xi is just a mouthpiece, and you don't care about the crimes he has committed when you see talents.

"By the way, let my cousin publicize Gao Ran's surrender, give him more rewards, and let him be the commander of the first army."

Seeing that Xu Shu was leaving, Yuan Xi hurriedly stopped him and said this with a smile.

Jia Xu's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "The lord is clever, Cao Sikong is afraid that he won't be able to sit still as soon as this plan comes out, and I'm worried that Zhang He will learn from him!" ”

Xu Shu laughed, pointed at Yuan Xi and waved his hand: "Then I'll go, the lord has become bad, I have to inform Mrs. Hua." ”

"Yuan Zhi doesn't want it!"
