Chapter 325 Conspiracy
Yuan Shao really didn't expect that the situation would change so quickly during the actual fight.

He didn't know what was going on over there at Gao Lan, but he only knew that the screams there never stopped.

Gao Lan was very skilled in martial arts and had great commanding abilities. It was precisely because of this that he was arranged to lead his army to attack from the side.

The purpose is either the opponent's baggage or the opponent's rear army.

"It seems that the second plan can't be used." Seeing that Gao Lan couldn't hold on anymore, Zhang Yan also came to kill him, and Yuan Shao had to use the alternative plan.

This solution has no technical content. Simply put, it is just a runaway plan!
Decisively give up Handan and run towards Yecheng!

There is another plan, which is to lure the enemy troops into Handan and kill them in a street fighting environment.

This premise is that Gao Lan has enough soldiers, otherwise there will not be enough manpower to meet the enemy.

"General, it seems Yuan Shao gave up Handan and ran away!" the deputy general reminded Tai Shici.

The war here has come to an end. No matter how hard Gao Lan tries, he is surrounded by Taishan soldiers on both sides, blocked by sword and shield soldiers on the opposite side, and three hundred sharpshooters behind him are killing their soldiers...

You can't get close, you can't retreat, you can't attack, you can't defend.

He even planned to break out of the encirclement, but as soon as he got close, more than 30 arrows were shot at him. If his own guards had not sacrificed their lives to save him, he would have turned into a hedgehog.

But in this situation, living is more uncomfortable than dying. After all, I have to watch the number of chapters getting fewer and fewer, and there is nothing I can do.

Until Huang Zhong came over and Gao Lan made his final struggle.

He tried to defeat the middle-aged general in front of him, even though he knew that the opponent was very strong, and killed Wen Chou.

He also knew better in his heart that Wen Chou's martial arts skills were superior to his own.

But he still stubbornly killed him, and was eventually knocked off his horse, tied up and made a prisoner.

"Kill me!" Gao Lan roared, he would rather be killed at this moment.

"You are not even worth being beheaded!" Huang Zhong looked at Gao Lan, "Now you are not even qualified to bargain!"

What right does a prisoner under the rank have to bargain?
In order to prevent him from barking, someone put a rag on the handle of his mouth and took it down.

The reason for not killing is not worth mentioning. Zhang He hoped to capture a few more Yuan generals, that's all.

Huang Zhong regarded himself as a general of Zhang He's family, so he naturally obeyed his instructions unconditionally.

"General, do you want to pursue Yuan Shao?" Zhang Yan came over and her attitude became much more sincere.

If you are trusted unconditionally, you must be able to live up to that trust.

"No need, focus on dealing with Handan!" Taishi Ci was worried about fraud, so he ordered to deal with Handan.

There was no problem with the supply of baggage, and the crossbow bolts and stone bullets were brought up one after another. The rams began to attack the city wall, and the soldiers went to fill the moat.

After two days of this, the moat was filled in and the city gates were broken open, including the second city gate.

Not to mention a section of the city wall was destroyed.

Sometimes climbing the city wall is more convenient than walking through the city gate. After all, there is only one city wall but two city gates.

When they entered the barbican city, the enemy counterattacked from all directions. A large number of arrows, logs, and stones were thrown down, and the siege equipment was broken at the first glance.

No matter what, they successfully knocked on the door of Handan, and then the army quickly rushed in.

At the same time, after receiving the battle report from the north, Zhang He went north smoothly, captured Shangai, and was attacking Jingxing County.

Shangai County was originally also within the Taihang Mountains, and there were quite a few people left behind by Lu Bu. However, this city did not have a moat.

It was originally built on the mountain and relied on the terrain of the mountain for defense, but it could not be defended at night.

He sneaked into the city in the middle of the night, opened the gate, and marched straight in. Thousands of enemy troops who were still sleeping were beaten down before they could react. Song Xian, who was guarding here, chose to surrender.

The army rested for a while and then headed towards Jingxing the next day.

Since there is no one to tell the news, in theory, from now on, the road from Jingxing to the entire Changshan County will be smooth.

As long as Zhending is established, Lu Bu and the wives and daughters of his generals will also fall into Zhang He's hands.

"If Dadao captures Changshan and we capture Zhao, then there will be no worries!" Tai Shici was very satisfied with the result.

The main thing is that if Changshan can be captured, the rear will be stable.

Even if Zhang He stays in Changshan, he can go south with peace of mind and defeat the four counties of Wei, Qinghe, Julu and Bohai. "It's just that if we are really determined to defeat him, Lu Bu will probably return to the army." Xun You felt that it would be difficult to just attack him casually.

The biggest trouble for Zhao Han is here. Yuan Shao is Yuan Shao, Lu Bu is Lu Bu, and maybe the Southern Xiongnu is the Southern Xiongnu.

After Gao Lan was defeated and Yuan Shao fled, they followed him southward.

Ma Chao pursued for more than ten miles and finally returned in anger.

Those Southern Huns were always ready to ride and shoot, but Ma Chao lacked the ability to fight at long range, so he seemed very passive.

He tried to avoid casualties as much as possible, but he couldn't fight back well. The feeling of being pressed and beaten made the young man very irritable.

"Yeah..." Taishi Ci looked at the map, "Even if we capture Zhao and Changshan, it's just the beginning. Jizhou is almost all plains. If we don't know where the enemy's main force is, we will be passive."

If Yuan Shao defends Handan, that will naturally be the best outcome. After all, everyone knows that as long as Handan is captured, the battle will be over.

But his departure only gained him more space.

You never know where he will come from next time.

"Report!" Suddenly a soldier came over in a hurry, "Prince Zhao's palace is in trouble, and we can no longer control it!"

Taishi Ci left the government office abruptly. From a distance, he could see a fire rising into the sky, and a large amount of smoke filled the air, completely covering Prince Zhao's residence.

"Put out the fire, quickly!" Tai Shici didn't know why this happened, so he immediately ordered to put out the fire.

King Zhao was under control yesterday. Regardless of whether it was voluntary or not, he was the emperor of Zhao Han, so he planned to escort him back to Chang'an.

As for how Liu Bei handles it, it's none of his business.

It is unreasonable to say that the prince's palace is composed of his own people inside and outside, but it suddenly caught fire.

All I can say is that the intensity of the fire was abnormal. A normal fire would not spread that fast. It was obviously deliberately set.

But the palace was surrounded by his own people, so why was it set on fire?

Taishi Ci rushed to the scene to put out the fire as soon as possible, but the fire had already begun to spread towards the surrounding area.

In the end, it took most of the day to put out the fire.

But in the palace of King Zhao, King Zhao and his wives and concubines had been burned alive.

Looking at the charred corpses, Taishi Ci felt a little complicated.

"What's going on?" Tai Shici shouted, "We are surrounded by our people, why did such a thing happen?"

"General, half an hour before the incident happened, a group of Montenegrin Army soldiers, about a hundred of them, came over and said they were ordered to take over the defense. They gave the order, so we treated it as a temporary change of defense..." The officer who was originally on duty, at this moment He replied tremblingly.

"Impossible!" Zhang Yan stepped forward, "My people have never left the station!"

"General, I can testify!" Huang Zhong came forward. After all, he was responsible for inspecting the station.

"In other words, an army that does not belong to us successfully impersonated our army and burned King Zhao's family to death under our eyes?" Taishi Ci angrily shouted.

"General, remember methods like this..." Xun You seemed to remember something.

Earlier, Zhang He wrote a battle report on the battle situation on the front line and sent a copy to this side.

He didn't need to do this, after all, he was the boss.

The reason why one copy was sent was so that Taishi Ci could better understand the situation and make better combat arrangements.

In those battle reports, the process of special operations was mentioned.

"In other words, someone used special operations against us?" Tai Shici couldn't believe it.

Isn't it just here that I don't collect food at night?

"This method is not very technical..." Xun You thought for a while, "The problem is that the matter may have just begun!"
