Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Tobu City County, twelve miles to the south.

Barracks, the gate of the camp.

The army's commander Gao Lan and deputy commander Wen Chou personally waited with the army's civilian and military generals.In the eyes of both of them, there was strong anticipation, because Yuan Shao had already arrived with an army and was about to arrive at the camp.

Wen Chou was dressed in armor, with excited eyes, and said: "During this period of time, we have stayed behind closed doors. Now, the lord has come, and finally wants to fight Wang Lei's army. This time, Wang Lei must be defeated, and we will be ashamed."

Thinking of what happened in Ye County, Wen Chou's anger rose in his heart, wishing he could kill Wang Lei alive.

Gao Lan smiled, but did not answer Wen Chou's words.

"Da da da!!!"

Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes came from far and near.

At the end of the official road, war horses are galloping, and each war horse seems to be rushing like a tide, rushing forward.

"coming!"

Gao Lan looked up and saw the scene of flying sand and rocks where the horses passed by, and his heart was inexplicably relieved.Wang Lei led the army in Dongwucheng County, and tens of thousands of troops approached. Gao Lan faced the army alone, and the pressure can be imagined.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry clearly came into view.

At the forefront of the army, a young man in armor rode a gallop.

Seeing this person, Gao Lan raised his eyes, and the young man in his eyes was also Yuan Shao's relative.This person's name is Gao Rou, and he is Gao Gan's cousin, but this person is different from Gao Gan.Gao Gan has always been by Yuan Shao's side, acting a little frivolously, with the style of a playboy.

Gao Rou was different. After Yuan Shao served as the prefect of Bohai County, Gao Rou came to Bohai County to join Yuan Shao.Although Gao Rou is young, she is in charge of the euphorbia soldiers formed by Yuan Shao, and no one in the army is dissatisfied.

The appearance of Euphorbia warriors greatly inspired Gao Lan.

In history, Gao Rou's reputation was not prominent, but she was a rare evergreen tree.

Gao Rou and Gao Gan were loyal to Yuan Shao at the beginning. After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, Gao Ruan and Gao Gan surrendered to Cao Cao together and were appointed as the county magistrate of Jian County.

Soon after, Gao Rou was promoted to the prime minister Cang Cao's subordinate, and worked with Cao Cao.

Served for the Cao family for 20 years, Gao Rou was promoted to Jiuqing, and was promoted to Tingwei.

After serving as Tingwei for 23 years, Gao Rou was promoted to Taichang.

At the age of 72, Gao Rou became Sikong and became one of the three princes.Throughout the period when Gao Rou worked for Cao Wei, there were few setbacks, and she was steadily rising, step by step leading to the pinnacle of her official career.

When Sima Yi was in power, Gao Rou strongly supported Sima Yi. A few years later, he was promoted to Taiwei and became Marquis of Anguo.

Today's Gao Rou has a low official position, but her methods are extremely sophisticated, and she does things seamlessly, which has won Yuan Shao's trust.Gao Rou led the euphorbia soldiers to the barracks first, got off the horse, clasped her fists and said, "Gao Rou, I have seen General Gao and General Wen."

Gao Lan and Wen Chou returned the salute with a smile, and stood quietly, waiting for Yuan Shao's mount to arrive at the barracks.

Yuan Shao arrived with his people, led his army into the camp, and raised his account to discuss the matter.In the large tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shaogao sat at the top. In the tent, Xu You, Qianzhao, Gao Lan, Wen Chou, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Gao Rou, Lu Weihuang and other civil and military generals gathered together.

Yuan Shao's eyes fell on Gao Lan, and he asked, "Gao Lan, how is the recent war going?"

Gao Lan looked calm, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Reporting to my lord, after Wang Lei led his army to Dongwu City County, he has been standing still and has not launched an attack yet."

"Very well, it seems that Wang Lei is waiting for the prefect." Yuan Shao's eyes were sharp, and he looked very confident, and all the hesitation he had before disappeared.He glanced at the people present, and with a passionate tone, he said loudly: "This battle will determine the future of Jizhou. For the glory of the Yuan family and the future of everyone, I implore everyone to go all out and kill Wang Lei."

Wen Chou was impatient, stood up impatiently, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, to attack Wang Lei in this battle, the general is willing to be the vanguard."

Yuan Shao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, I've agreed." Immediately, Yuan Shao turned his gaze to Xu You and asked, "Ziyuan, is the army ready?"

Xu You replied: "Report to my lord, everything is ready."

Yuan Shao stood up awkwardly, flicked his sleeves, and ordered in a deep voice: "The order will go on, and the army will rest for a day. Tomorrow, the army will go out and defeat Wang Lei in one go."

"promise!"

All the generals were ordered to fight with high morale.

……

Jizhou Army, barracks.

Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Tian Feng and Shenpei rushed over to the big tent of the Chinese Army.

After the four of them were seated, Guo Jia said: "My lord, Yuan Shao has led an army of [-] and has arrived at the camp outside Dongwu County. Yuan Shao knows that the lord has arrived, and he is eager to win. He will definitely attack first. I speculate that it will be the day after tomorrow at the latest. , Yuan Shao will take action."

Wang Lei nodded and said: "Yuan Shao led the army here, and while the morale was high, he naturally wanted to defeat me in one go. But, he can do whatever he wants? Jizhou's army will never lose to Yuan Shao."

There was a lot of confidence in his tone.

Wang Lei has led the army so far, and has not lost to Yuan Shao. On the contrary, Yuan Shao has played several times and lost again and again.

Tian Feng continued: "Fighting head-on, especially when the morale of the soldiers under Yuan Shao's command is high, the loss to the soldiers of the army is very great. Even if the army wins, there will be huge losses. Jizhou, the master's Jizhou, can maximize If it is well preserved, it will have many benefits for the Lord’s future governance.”

Wang Lei nodded slightly, motioning Tian Feng to continue.

Tian Feng said again: "My subordinates believe that we should temporarily avoid the edge. As the saying goes, if you work hard, then decline, and then exhaust, Yuan Shao will go to battle tomorrow or the day after, and if he can't attack for a long time, his morale will be greatly damaged. Wait for the morale of Yuan Shao's army, my lord, again. Launch a general attack, and the effect will be better."

The judge disagreed with Tian Feng's opinion and said: "The reason is correct, but one problem has been overlooked. My lord's strength is enough to defeat Yuan Shao. Since I can defeat Yuan Shao in one go, why delay more time? One more day, The consumption of food, equipment, etc. will intensify again. It is more beneficial to the Lord to shorten the time and win the battle quickly."

Tian Feng said: "Brother Zhengnan, it's not that I ignored the issue of the lord's strength, it's that you didn't understand. What I'm thinking about is to preserve Qinghe Kingdom and Jizhou's power in a more comprehensive and complete way."

The judge was straight-tempered, and said unceremoniously: "Quick battle and quick decision, and then quickly appease the people, is also the way of governance."

Two people, each insisting on their own words, each refused to give in.

Jia Xu shook the feather fan lightly, but didn't make any suggestion directly.Similarly, Guo Jia, who spoke at the beginning, only inferred that Yuan Shao would lead troops to fight, and did not suggest how to mobilize troops?

Both of them have their own thoughts.

Wang Lei turned to Jia Xu and asked, "Wen He, what do you think?"

Jia Xu shook his feather fan lightly, and said, "My lord, the analysis of Tian Feng and the judge are both reasonable. In the long run, or from the perspective of reducing losses, it is indeed more reasonable to avoid Yuan Shao's edge. However, the army is strong. , can defeat Yuan Shao and win a quick battle is also a feasible strategy."

Wang Lei shook his head lightly. These words were equivalent to not saying anything.
