Agents of the Three Kingdoms

After Gao Lan said a word, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang had bitter faces and depressed moods, as if there was a big stone in their hearts.

"General Gao, my lord is still waiting for our news. When I went to the battle, my lord has already said that this battle can only be won and not defeated. When we saw the formation of Zhang Jaw, we became languid, and it was difficult to send a message to the lord."

Lu Kuang gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of Ping'en County, with deep unwillingness in his eyes.

Gao Lan had a bitter face, but also a painful expression: "General Lu has other methods, and I am all ears. You have sent troops to attack the surrounding hillsides before, and you should know the difficulty of conquering them. Even if we have more soldiers, the situation is unfavorable!"

Lu Kuang said helplessly: "Could it be that you really want to report to the lord?"

Gao Lan said, "Is there any other way?"

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang fell silent, and Gao Lan didn't try to be brave, and sent soldiers back to report the news.When Yuan Shao got the news, he cursed angrily: "You bastard Gao Lan, you surrendered before attacking, idiot! Idiot!"

Anger is anger, and you have to find a way to solve it.

Yuan Shao immediately summoned Xu You, Guo Tu and the generals in the army to discuss strategies.

Xu You knew the news sent back by the soldiers, and after thinking about it, he analyzed: "My lord, Gao Lan is not someone who easily admits defeat. It must not be easy to make Gao Lan afraid. In view of the situation ahead, I would like to ask you to go there personally. Check out what's ahead."

Guo Tu said: "The humble job also asks to go and investigate the situation!"

Seeing this, Yuan Shao didn't bother to send someone alone, ordered the camp to be pulled out, and went straight to where Gao Lan's army was.

When the army arrived at Gaolan's garrison, Xu You, Guo Tu, and Yuan Shao's generals checked the situation ahead.After seeing the layout of Zhang Jaw, Xu You and Guo Tu frowned, and they also thought it was difficult to deal with.It's not a hot summer right now, it's freezing cold, and there are often heavy snowfalls, so setting fire to the mountain won't work.The distance between several hills is very close, and it is backed by Ping'en County, so Zhang Jaw can get support. It is not easy to decipher Zhang Jaw's arrangement.The army settled down, thinking of ways to break the open-jaw formation.

Yuan Shao invited Xu You over and said, "Ziyuan, I've thought of a plan, please give me a reference!"

Xu You said, "My lord, please tell me!"

Yuan Shao's eyes flickered coldly, and he said: "With our strength, it is still very difficult to capture Jizhou. If that is the case, then invite some more people to do it. I don't believe that a group of tigers will eat wolves, and I can't take down Wang Lei." A hungry wolf."

Xu You said, "What is my lord planning to do?"

Yuan Shao explained his plan in detail, Xu You repeatedly praised Yuan Shao's wisdom and made a plan together.

……

Zhongshan Country, Wuji County.

The barracks of the Youzhou Army, the large tent of the Chinese Army.

Zhao Yun brought the disastrously defeated Bai Ma Yi back to his command, but was captured by soldiers as soon as he returned to the camp.Before Zhao Yun returned, Bai Ma Yi, who had escaped, returned to the army and reported his failure.The white horse righteousness was Gongsun Zan's painstaking effort, but Zhao Yun led the white horse righteousness to destruction, which made Gongsun Zan extremely angry.

What made Gongsun Zan most angry was that Zhao Yun disobeyed the order and adopted the strategy of attacking Wuhuan first and then Wang Lei, missing the chance of victory.Thinking of Zhao Yun's failure when he could win, and Baima Yicong's heavy losses, Gongsun Zan's murderous intent could not be suppressed.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yun was brought into the camp, and Gongsun Zan yelled loudly.

Zhao Yun knelt down with a calm expression.

When the decision to attack the Wuhuan soldiers was made, Zhao Yun was ready to be punished.

Gongsun Zan roared in a shrill voice, "Say, why did you give up the chance to defeat Wang Lei? You and Wang Lei attacked Wuhuan together, causing Wuhuan to be defeated, but you yourself also failed. Why did you do this? Before leaving, did you Is it because this officer didn’t make the order clear? If you don’t make it clear, your head will be cut off today.”

Zhao Yun said calmly: "Baima Yicong, where righteousness goes, life and death follow! This is the slogan of Baima Yicong. Since the establishment of Baima Yicong, it has been attacking Huren and Wuhuan, and has never been united. The matter of Wuhuan attacking his own clan. I disdain to do that by uniting Wuhuan to defeat Wang Lei."

"What a disdain! You have guts and backbone!" Gongsun Zan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Because of your decision, the three thousand white horses have suffered heavy losses and are almost wiped out. Tell me, how should you be punished?"

Zhao Yun said: "Let the lord punish you!"

Gongsun Zan said disdainfully, "You're so straightforward. People are dead anyway, and it has nothing to do with you."

Zhao Yun looked serious, and retorted: "The three thousand white horses are all Zhao Yun's brothers, and Zhao Yun was very sad when his comrade was killed. My lord said that the death of the other brothers had nothing to do with Zhao Yun, which is biased."

Gongsun Zan flicked his sleeves, and said bitterly: "Since you know that Baima Yicong is related to you, let me ask you, is this how you cherish their lives when they entrust their lives to your hands?"

Zhao Yun pouted his neck and said, "The generals believe that they are not willing to join forces with Wuhuan."

In an instant, Gongsun Zan's anger rose to three feet high.

Gongsun Zan stood up abruptly, walked quickly to Zhao Yun's side, and kicked him out.

"Snapped!!"

Zhao Yun was hit hard, and his body fell to the ground.

Gongsun Zan stood beside Zhao Yun, looked down condescendingly, and said coldly, "The three thousand white horse righteous men are my own white horse righteous men. When will you be able to speak on behalf of the rest of the white horse men? You are just a leader of the army." It’s just people, one more you don’t have much, one less you don’t have much, don’t take yourself too seriously. Without you, Baima Yicong can sweep Wuhuan just as well.”

Zhao Yun lowered his head, clenched his steel teeth, feeling extremely bitter in his heart.

It turned out that he was like this in Gongsun Zan's heart.

Zhao Yun didn't speak, but Gongsun Zan had no intention of letting go.Gongsun Zan stared at Zhao Yun, and continued, "The rest of the captured soldiers were all dirty when they came back. After you were captured by Wang Lei, you came back wearing a fine silk robe and a fox fur cloak. It's really unusual. ! Say, what's going on here?"

Zhao Yun replied truthfully: "After being captured, if the humble officer did not surrender, Wang Lei released the last general. The cloak was a gift from Wang Lei!"

"Hey, Wang Lei is so kind to you. The rest of the soldiers don't have it, but you have it."

With a hint of sarcasm, Gongsun Zan returned to his seat and sat down.

For Wang Lei, Gongsun Zan also admired him quite a lot, and even made him his confidant.However, in the face of great fame and great career, Gongsun Zan can only abandon his relationship with Wang Lei.He looked at Zhao Yun, and said: "Since it was given to you by Wang Lei, please accept it. From today on, you will no longer be the chief general of Baimayi, and you will be demoted to the rank of Marquis."

Junhou, also known as Qu Chang, had about two to three hundred troops.

Zhao Yun was the chief general of the Baimayi Cong before, leading [-] Baima Yicong, with great power.Right now, he has been pushed to the end and has become the most ordinary general in the army.

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun respectfully agreed and withdrew from the tent.

Chief Shi Guanjing said: "Because of Zhao Yun, I lost a great opportunity to defeat Wang Lei. But these days, Zhongshan Kingdom has been brought under control, and all the counties are our officials. My lord, the time to attack Julu County in the south is ripe."

"Pass down the order and set off tomorrow to attack Julu County."

Gongsun Zan's eyes flickered sharply, thinking about how to sweep away the humiliation of Baima Yicong's defeat.

……

In Tang County, a cavalry of hundreds of people galloped quickly.

This cavalry was none other than the Wuhuan soldiers who quietly withdrew from Julu County.On the way back to Zhongshan, Ta Dun and Su Puyan were very low-key, not daring to rob everywhere, so as not to attract attacks, and just wanted to withdraw smoothly.
