The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 80 Arrangements
At the beginning of December in the fifth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shang led his troops to Jishui and took a boat to cross. More than [-] soldiers and horses flew across Jishui and entered the boundary of Qingzhou within the time limit of one night and day. The crowd finally broke away from Cao Cao's territory and completely returned to the Hebei territory.

After returning, Yuan Shang and his group rested for half a day on the north bank of Jishui River, and then set up troops and headed towards Linzi City. According to Yuan Shang's request, the whole army was divided into three groups, with Yuan Shang and Lu Lingqi in the middle as the virtual, with their jaws high. Lan each led an army in the rear, distributed to the left and right sides, and advanced carefully and slowly.

Although they didn't understand Yuan Shang's intentions for being so careful, Zhang Jai and Gao Lan still followed his instructions. The seven thousand people marched step by step, advancing slowly, and marched for more than ten miles a day. Confused, secretly hesitating in his heart, but Yuan Shang still didn't say the reason, every time he asked him, he would always gossip about him, pretending to be crazy and find a way to talk back to you.

Yuan Shang did this because he had a last resort. Although he was aware of the fact that Yuan Shao and his sons were brothers and sisters who attacked and killed each other in history, others did not know about it, and Yuan Tan was still in front of him at this moment. The governor of Qingzhou didn't have the slightest sign of malice. If he talked nonsense, he would give others the impression that he was narrow-minded, and the gain outweighed the loss.

After marching cautiously for a day, when the sun was setting, Yuan Shang and his party came to the edge of a valley.The name of the mountain is Yiqi Mountain, and the name of the deep valley is nameless.

Gao Lan personally surveyed the surrounding terrain. In the end, he suggested that Yuan Shang camp in the valley. One is that the valley is lush with trees, so that the soldiers and horses can have a good rest overnight. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the water source is very close, so it is suitable for camping.

After Gao Lan selected the camp, he immediately invited Yuan Shang to check it out, explaining to Yuan Shang while investigating.

"Look, third son, the terrain of this valley is easy to defend. As long as you set up some wooden fences, you can easily block the entrance of the valley and make full use of the terrain to defend it. You only need to send a small number of soldiers to patrol the night, and nothing will happen. You can also let the three armies Soldiers get a good night's sleep tonight"

As for these specific security measures, Yuan Shang naturally did not know Gao Lan's expertise, Gao Lan was proficient in martial arts, and Yuan Shang was relieved to entrust him with the establishment of the camp.

Therefore, every time Gao Lan introduced a sentence, Yuan Shang nodded in agreement, and then said perfunctorily: "General Gao has good skills." Or "General Gao has good vision."

After about a while, Gao Lan had introduced all the terrain in the valley to Yuan Shang, then rubbed his somewhat dry palms, and said with a smile: "Third Young Master, the general feels that being stuck here, surrounded by mountains and rivers, is full of dangers. , and there is a water source nearby, there are generally no omissions, I don’t know what the third young master thinks, if there is anything wrong, please correct me.”

Yuan Shang stood by Gao Lan's side, looking at the surrounding and dangerous valleys, he nodded with satisfaction: "General Gao chose a very good place, and I can't say what's wrong with it, but I just want to I would like to ask General Gao one thing."

Seeing that Yuan Shang couldn't point out any faults, Gao Lan was quite proud, and a sense of arrogance as a warrior emerged spontaneously.

"Young master, if you have any doubts, please express it clearly."

Yuan Shang scratched his head lightly, raised his hand and pointed at the valley, and said: "General Gao, this place is surrounded by mountains on two sides and facing water on the other side. Waiting is how to deal with it, and if something goes wrong, where should we escape from?"

Gao Lan couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard the words, and sighed secretly, well, here we go again!

"Third son, I have been holding back a sentence for a long time, but today I have to say it. We are no longer in the Central Plains. Qingzhou is under the jurisdiction of the lord. No matter how warlike Cao Jun is, he definitely does not dare to come here at will. , Young Master has never been like this in the hinterland of the Central Plains, how come the more you go to your own territory, the more timid you become, Young Master keeps talking about sneak attack, sneak attack, but you don't know where the sneak attack soldiers come from?"

Yuan Shang didn't seem to have heard Gao Lan's words, so he touched his chin and said to himself: "General Gao, take a closer look, do you realize that the place where we set up our camp looks like a cage closed on three sides and only one exit?"

"You son"

Gao Lan's tone was suffocated, and finally he sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Then according to the young master, what should we do tonight?"

Yuan Shang blinked, and said: "There is only one exit, let's guard it, nothing will happen, but if we can't guard it, the attackers will rush in."

Having said that, Yuan Shang sighed regretfully: "We will hold ourselves back in this valley and let people close the door and beat dogs."

Gao Lan couldn't help but sneered when he heard the words, and said: "Young master is a new word, but it's really not very appropriate. How can anyone describe his soldiers as dogs? I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

"Oh!" Yuan Shang nodded hastily, expressing his agreement: "I'm sorry, but my analogy is a bit inappropriate. So how does General Gao feel about catching a turtle in a urn?"

Gao Lan's eyelids twitched, and he said, "I've never heard of this word before, but think about it carefully. It seems that it's not as good as the one just now."

"In short!" Yuan Shang interrupted Gao Lan's words: "Whether it's a dog or a turtle, we don't want to be it, and we can't be it, but since this big cage can trap us, why can't we use it to trap those who want to attack? Where is our thief? General Gao, I have a plan, and I tell you now, you hurry up to meet with General Zhang, and follow my method, without any mistakes!"

Gao Lan's eyelids twitched, and finally he had no choice but to sigh helplessly, cupped his hands and said:
"promise"

After getting Yuan Shang's generals, Gao Lan immediately went to Zhang Jai to make arrangements. It happened that Deng Chang, Lu Lingqi, Xia Houjuan and others were all there, and he immediately ordered Yuan Shang's strategy together.

After listening to Gao Lan's words, Lu Lingqi couldn't help but frowned, and wondered: "You three young masters haven't been like this when you were in the Central Plains, why are you so careful the more you get to the hinterland of Hebei?"

Gao Lan shook his head and said, "Who says it's not? You think about the young master's arrangement. It doesn't look like setting up a camp. It's clearly an array to defend against the enemy. The soldiers worked hard and finally returned to their homeland, but they couldn't sleep peacefully. Now there are rumors everywhere in the army, and there is quite dissatisfaction, but the third son has not given an explanation, it is really frustrating."

Xia Houjuan pouted at the side, and nodded in dissatisfaction. First, he pointed at Gao Lan, then stretched out three fingers, and patted his plump buttocks lightly, then made a clogging gesture with both hands, left and right It shook twice, and finally straightened its two forearms, pretending to draw a bow and shoot an arrow, and thumped hard twice, muttering in its mouth.

"Aba, aba, aba aba aba."

Gao Lan stared at her blankly for a long time, then turned around and asked everyone, "Who can understand what she is talking about?"

Deng Chang cleared his throat heavily, and said inscrutablely: "She said that you, Mr. Yuan, are holding back your fart. If you have nothing to do, you will go left and right, and you will be so frightened that you will really f*cking torment people to death. "

When Xia Houjuan heard the words, he immediately showed a bright smile.

Lu Lingqi opened her mouth wide, and looked at Deng Chang in surprise, "I can't tell that you, an old man, live in a muddleheaded way, but you have a bit of eyesight. You can explain such profound dumb words of Miss Xiahou?"

Deng Chang raised his chest proudly, and said, "That's right, the old man has lived for dozens of years, and he has traveled more bridges than you. As the saying goes, an old horse knows the way. From now on, you should learn slowly! "

*************
It's all about talking, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and everyone still acts according to Yuan Shang's arrangement.

The night is gradually getting darker. The dark clouds tonight seem to be particularly crowded for some reason. Under the cover of the already faint moonlight, it looks extraordinarily deserted and secluded. Maybe it's the weather like this.

But at this moment, three miles away from the north of Yuan Shang and others' troops, in the rolling hills, a Biao army slowly poked its head out, like hungry wolves, staring closely at the nearby area. There is a bright bonfire in the valley, and there seems to be a green light in the eyes full of greed.

This Biao army is slowly marching towards this place. This army horse is walking very carefully. The horse's hooves and mouths are tightly wrapped with cloth strips, so as not to make too much noise and disturb the enemy in the distance. military.

The leader of the thieves raised his head to look at the sky, and asked the people behind him gloomily: "What time is it?"

"If you turn back and bring it back, it will be too late."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the leader of the bandits turned around and interrupted him viciously, looking angrily: "Shut up! What a leader! Call me Qu Shuai, Qu Shuai! Now we are not bandits, but Yan Shuai's subordinates." The regular army horse! Do you understand!"

"No!" There was a neat reply.

The leader of the black mountain bandits turned his gaze back, stared fiercely at the fire in the distance, and continued: "This time, we were ordered by Yan Shuai to pretend to be a bandit and prevent Yuan Shang's son from returning to Jizhou. After the incident, Yan Shuai will definitely reward you , our brothers will definitely be reused in the future, and we should be quick when we do it! Kill when you need to kill, and rob when you need to rob, don't hesitate at all, and when you talk, don't show your flaws like just now, wait Do you know!"

"promise!"

The black bandit leader nodded in satisfaction, looked up at the dark sky, then licked his lips, and said: "When the sky gets darker, when the time comes, follow me into the valley and see Yuan Shao's son, don't ask!" Length. Kill!"
