The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 170 Defeat Gao Lan!

"Gongda, this is..."

Regarding Xun You's wry smile at Wei Tao who directly sent Zhen Mi to the barracks, Zhen Mi just bowed to him, and then stayed in the tent assigned to her.

"My lord, this is the Zhen family's plan to avoid misfortune. If the Yuan family asks questions, they will most likely shift the responsibility to the fact that Miss Zhen Mi ran away from home privately and has nothing to do with the Zhen family. This is an excuse. After all, the Zhen family is also a big family. This is an excuse, and it is impossible for the Yuan family to make things difficult for the Zhen family."

With Xun You's wisdom, he understood the Zhen family's plan when he saw that Zhen Mi was coming with him, but in the end Xun You didn't intend to expose it at that time, and even came with Zhen Mi.

"My lord's intention is to use this to anger Yuan Xi and persecute the Yuan family. If Miss Zhen Mi comes, Yuan Xi's face will be greatly damaged. Even if Yuan Shang is unwilling, she will have to come, not to mention the current situation. , I am afraid that the Yuan brothers will all be there, so that Gao Lan can sit in the city by then?"

Regarding Xun You's words, Wei Tao couldn't help but nodded silently, which was indeed the case.

Of course, Wei Tao didn't notice it, and Xun You secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

In fact, apart from this reason, Xun You still has one more thing to consider. After all, after Wei Tao captured Jizhou, Na married Zhen Mi, so Zhen Mi is the mistress, and even Xun You does not want to offend the future mistress.

While Wei Tao was discussing with Xun You in the camp, Gao Lan in Changshan City was sitting on pins and needles.

"Damn it! Could it be that Wei Tao is such a coward that he dare not attack?"

When seeing Wei Tao just besieging Changshan City without fighting, Gao Lan already had a bad premonition in his heart, but it was not until the news of Yecheng that Gao Lan realized that something was wrong.

Just as Xun You planned, after hearing all kinds of rumors in Yecheng, the two brothers of the Yuan family felt ashamed.

Especially Yuan Xi, after hearing the rumors, his first reaction was to send someone to Zhen's house to find out the details.

Unfortunately, what annoyed him was that he obviously came a step too late. At this time, Zhen Mi was already about to arrive at Wei Tao's barracks, and the Zhen family naturally gave that set of excuses just as Xun You expected.

Yuan Xi naturally refused to believe this rhetoric, but as Xun You said, with this set of rhetoric, at least in a short period of time, Yuan Xi still has nothing to do with the Zhen family.

Yuan Xi, who was extremely annoyed, could only turn his anger on Wei Tao.

And in these days, the judge also analyzed the pros and cons for Yuan Shang many times. Yuan Shang originally had the heart to use Wei Tao to make contributions.

Today's Jizhou Yuan Shao has been handed over to Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang. Their words are equivalent to Yuan Shao's words. Now both of them intend to send troops, and they have the support of Shenpei and others. Naturally, Guo Tu and others also It can no longer be stopped.

Of course, in this way, Gao Lan will be in a dilemma.

Because the Yuan brothers have already ordered someone to deliver a letter. Although the letter tells Gao Lan to stick to the defense and wait for the two to lead the army, it is not difficult for Gao Lan to feel that the real meaning between the lines is to let Gao Lan Try to defeat Wei Tao as much as possible.

How can this not embarrass Gao Lan?
"Come on! Go check again and see what the Bingzhou Army is doing!"

In his impatience, Gao Lan was no longer as leisurely as before. In just one hour, he had sent people three times to investigate the situation in Wei Tao's army.

"General Qi, the Bingzhou army is probably afraid of the general's power and is digging ditches. I really don't know what they want to do?"

Ordinary soldiers don't know, but Gao Lan does.

"Wei Ziyu, you bullied me too much!"

After thinking about it before and after, Gao Lan finally couldn't hold back, and ordered people to prepare soldiers and horses, and went out of the city to face the battle.

Riding a tall horse, Gao Lan charged straight out, pointed a long spear at Wei Tao's camp, and shouted suddenly.

"Wei Tao! You call yourself a hero, and you disturb my Jizhou in disregard of righteousness. How dare you fight me, Gao Lan?"

Hearing Gao Lan shouting so loudly, Wei Tao ordered his troops to go out immediately, but Wei Tao laughed.

"Gao Yuanbo, I am the shepherd of Jizhou. What's wrong with commanding Jizhou? On the contrary, Yuan Benchu ​​stole Jizhou and refused to entrust it to me, which is against the order of the Holy One? As for fighting with you, why dare not? Before Or who has been hiding in the city and dare not fight me?"

Rao Gao Lan has a calm temperament, and he couldn't help being furious when he heard Wei Tao's words, but what Wei Tao said made Gao Lan unable to refute. He rushed towards Wei Tao directly.

"Wei Tao is to die!"

"Hmph! Let me see how powerful Yuan Benchu's generals are!"

Seeing Gao Lan rushing towards him, Wei Tao also smiled coldly, preventing other generals from competing for merit, and went straight up without hesitation.

"clang!"

As soon as the spear and halberd were handed over, it was immediately clear that Gao Lan was superior to others. At that moment, the spear in Gao Lan's hand was clearly crushed by the spear in Wei Tao's hand. If Gao Lan hadn't really had the ability, this alone would have been enough to make him fall. Downwind.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Although Wei Tao is the commander-in-chief of an army, he also has the heart of a warrior who has been tempered and tempered. The long halberd in his hand keeps slashing and falling. Every blow is as heavy as a thousand catties. Gao Lan can only parry And no power to fight back.

After several life-and-death battles, Wei Tao has also faintly stepped into the genus of top generals.

In terms of martial prowess alone, Gao Lan can be regarded as a first-class general, if he hadn't met Wei Tao, he definitely wouldn't be like this.

After more than ten moves, Gao Lan couldn't hold on any longer, suddenly a Wei Tao held a long halberd in his hand, and then flew away.

It's a pity that although Gao Lan's crotch is also a good horse, it is inferior to the Xuelong horse under Wei Tao's crotch, but Wei Tao caught up with him within ten steps.

Speaking of which, this Xuelong colt was a gift from Yuan Shao on the spot, and it was because of such a good colt that it was much easier for Wei Tao to kill the general and capture the flag.

"Go!"

Wei Tao shouted sharply, swept out with a halberd and stabbed heavily.

"clang!"

"puff!"

Accompanied by a light sound, Gao Lan just opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood, obviously injured.

This time, Wei Tao tried his best to kill Gao Lan in one fell swoop, but now he just injured him severely. Even though Wei Tao had a tenacious heart, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

But soon Wei Tao understood that under the armor, Gao Lan still wore a piece of Yunlong heart-guard, and it was this piece of Yunlong heart-guard that saved Gao Lan's life.

"Protect the general! Protect the general!"

Wei Tao naturally wanted to make up for Gao Lan's life with another halberd, but although Gao Lan's colt was not as good as the Xuelong colt, it was still a first-class horse. It fled into the formation.

Although Wei Tao won the three armies bravely, he was unwilling to take the risk of going alone at this time, so he raised his halberd and shouted loudly after a slight pause.

"The enemy army has been defeated, all the soldiers will follow me to kill! But whoever captures the enemy general will be promoted to three ranks and rewarded with a thousand gold!"

"Kill! Kill!"

The general is the courage of the soldiers, Wei Tao went into battle himself, and defeated Gao Lan with a dozen moves, which greatly boosted morale. Now that the order is given, all the troops are seen rushing down like a tide, desperately fighting out.

After leaving behind nearly a thousand corpses, Yuan Jun finally retreated into the city. After this victory, Wei Tao's soldiers became more and more powerful.

But this time Wei Tao did not take advantage of the victory to pursue. After defeating Yuan Jun who had left the city, Ming Jin immediately withdrew his troops.

For such a behavior, the generals under Wei Tao's command were naturally puzzled. After looking at each other, Zhang Liao, who had followed Wei Tao for the longest time, finally asked.

"My lord, why don't you destroy the city in one fell swoop? With our strength and Gao Lan's severe injuries, it is impossible to personally command the city. This city can be taken down overnight. After capturing the city of Changshan, wouldn't it be much easier to meet Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang? If the lord is worried about the heavy casualties under his command, I will be the vanguard, and I will definitely take this city and dedicate it to the lord in one go."

Having said that, Zhang Liao paused slightly, seeing that Wei Tao was not displeased with a smile on his face, and immediately spoke again.

"If this city is left behind, when our army confronts Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, we will have to divide our troops to defend it. It can be said that we are facing the enemy from both sides. If we are attacked from both sides, our army may be in chaos, so please take it! "

"Hehe... I know Wen Yuan's heart, but this Changshan County City is not ready yet."

Wei Tao smiled again, then looked at Zhou Yu next to him and said.

"Gongjin, you are speaking for Wenyuan."

"Hehe...General Wen Yuan doesn't know something. It is true that it is easy to seize the city at this time, but Wen Yuan knows why this time the lord not only went to battle in person, but also used all the generals under his command?"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, but instead of answering directly, he asked.

This question immediately stopped Zhang Liao. In fact, including Zhang Liao, all the generals found it strange.

That Gao Lan's ability is indeed not bad, but he is not qualified to use it to such an extent.

"Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are the sons of Yuan Benchu ​​after all. Even if they are not outstanding people, they are still talents. It is not easy to take them down in a hurry. But the Yuan brothers have inherited Yuan Benchu's temperament, proud and timid."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and told Zhang Liao and the others that he had told Wei Tao's plan.

"If they go down to Changshan in the first battle, maybe Yuan Xi and the two returned to Yecheng because of this. At that time, they can only go down one city at a time, losing troops and losing generals. But if this is the case, even if the first battle is victorious, all the generals will go to battle. However, such a result is rather shabby. Knowing this result, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang must think that the lord's ability is no more than that, but they are arrogant and underestimate the enemy, and then they can take it lightly."

"So that's how it is, my lord is also intriguing!"

Hearing what Zhou Yu said, everyone came to their senses, especially Zhang Liao, who remembered the past days, when Wei Tao didn't have any military advisers to assist him, but Wei Tao still won step by step with his own resourcefulness and bravery , which makes people amazed.

"My lord is beyond my reach!"
