Chapter 160 Rest
Wen Chou led an army to support the white horse, and the journey was quite comfortable.

When he came to a mountain forest, Wen Chou first sent people to investigate.

After a while, the spies reported that there was no ambush when they went there. Wen Chou laughed, "The counselors under Zhang Lan's command are all full of wine bags and rice bags, and they have gained a false reputation. If there is an ambush here, it will be difficult for us, ah? Hahahaha"

All his followers laughed and flattered him.

"Pass my military order, the army will continue to move forward, and must arrive when Ma Chao captures the white horse"

"Yes"

At the same time, Gao Lan saw that the enemy was weak, so he led his troops to fight. Pang De resisted desperately and repelled Gao Lan.

Another day later, Gao Lan led his troops out of the city again, and Pang De led his troops to meet the enemy. During the battle, ambush soldiers rushed out from the left and right sides of the rear. Gao Lan was frightened and wanted to retreat to the city, but he was cut off and surrounded. and outside the city.

Gao Lan led the troops to bypass from the flanks to rectify military discipline.

Pang De's army did not pursue, but reversed and attacked Wuchao.

A few days later, when Wen Chou received the news, he was shocked. At this time, he knew that he had been tricked by the enemy, so he hurriedly led his troops back to help. Halfway through the journey, suddenly the flames lit up, and the ambush soldiers rushed out. Wen Chou was defeated and walked back to the white horse. Meet with Ming Huan.

Ming Huan learned that with the addition of men and horses and Wen Chou, Wen Chou turned back and killed him. When he reached the place where he was ambushed, he slowed down his march and the whole journey was safe and sound.

Since then, Wen Chou has sent the vanguard to explore the route, and the slow army went first, and it was not until half a month later that they arrived at Wuchao.

Although Wuchao fell, most of it was damaged.

Seeing Wen Chou's return, Ma Chao led his troops back and charged at the white horse.

Wen Chou saw that the local old tricks were repeated, so he ignored it and stuck to Wuchao.

But this time Ma Chao actually led the troops to Baima. At that time, Ma Chao communicated with Jiyin's men and horses, and went to Baima to attack together. Because of Minghuan's faction, there were many troops in Wenchou, and there were only [-] soldiers on Baima. Two groups of men and horses rushed in, blocking the water around Baima.

Ming Huan repeatedly sent people to break through the siege to deliver letters, but to no avail, so he could only defend the city.

After more than a month, Wen Chou got his news and hesitated in his heart. When Yuan Shao sent people to urge food, Wen Chou asked Yuan Shao for advice. Yuan Shao immediately ordered Wen Chou to lead his troops to rescue him.

Another fire burned nearly half of Wen Chou's men and horses, and Wen Chou returned to Wuchao again.

Yuan Shao knew that the white horse could not do anything, so he ignored it.

Minghuan learned that the food and grass in the city were exhausted, so he launched an attack again, was defeated and returned to the city, and left the city a few days later to ask for surrender.

On the Guandu side, Yuan Shao had repeatedly failed to attack the city, and he also had mixed feelings.

The war once again reached a stalemate.

"My lord, our army is running out of food and grass, we can no longer stand in a stalemate with Yuan Shao."

Guo Jia looked sad, looking helpless at Zhang Lan.

The same is true for Zhang Lan. How could he not know that the food and grass are about to run out, but what can he do.

Yuan Shao has a lot of food and grass, but now he can't take Wuchao, cut off his food supply, he can't fight hard, and can't afford it. The situation is really not good for him.

"Can Fengxiao have a solution?"

Guo Jia said with a wry smile, "The only solution for the present is to drink poison to quench thirst."

Zhang Lan was stunned, "Why did you say that?"

"The king of Wei, Liu Bei, is a hero of a generation. If you send him jewels and ask him to help us attack the future, our army will be in danger. Liu Bei will certainly be willing to lead the army to help, but it is equivalent to feeding a tiger with his body to help him become powerful."

Zhang Lan was silent for a while.

What kind of person Liu Bei is, he couldn't be more clear. It was okay to say that Liu Bei had no strength, but now Liu Bei is no longer what he used to be. If he is allowed to get Jizhou again, it will be really hard to say in the future.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Lan asked, "Is there any other way?"

Guo Jia shook his head.

After getting the confirmation, Zhang Lan didn't think too much about it anymore. Drinking poison to quench thirst was helpless. If she survived this period of time and took the antidote in time, she might still be able to survive. If she was so thirsty all the time, she would just die of thirst. .

Zhang Lan immediately revised a letter to have Pang Tong recalled, and Pang Tong, acting as an envoy, went to Taiyuan to invite Liu Bei to send troops.

Pang Tong led the way.

Inside Jinyang City, Taiyuan
"Mr. Zhongda, this time Zhang Lan sent people here, he must have asked me to send troops to attack Yuan Shao, what should I do?"

Sima Yi chuckled and said, "The territory of the king of Wei is in Weijun. Now Shiyi and Changshan have heavy troops, but Weijun has few major generals. After Huguan, Weijuner is here."

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he bowed to Sima Yi and said, "I hope you can give me your advice."

Sima Yi hurried forward to support Liu Bei, and said, "Now that Yuan Shao and Zhang Lan are fighting, the rear must be empty. The king of Wei should play the Son of Heaven first, ask for the imperial edict, and take back Wei County, but the east of Huguan is a small road, which is not good Tongtong, so its defense is even weaker. Based on this, he led his troops to take Handan and Guangping as the foundation. Yuan Shao must retreat with Guandu and return to defend. Send troops from the two places in Licheng to contain Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao can't look at each other head to tail, so he will divide his troops to attack him. At that time, leave a large general to guard Guangping, and then send troops to the north, and Jizhou can be obtained."

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and immediately repaired a book and sent it to Luoyang.

Liu Xie got Liu Bei's letter, and immediately issued an edict named Liu Bei to enter Wei County and take its fiefdom.

Liu Bei received the imperial edict, first revised a letter, sent Sun Qian to Guandu to meet Zhang Lan, and then sent troops, leaving Guan Yu to guard Bingzhou, and personally led the army from Huguan to approach Weijun.

When Yuan Shao learned that he was panicked, he quickly withdrew from Liyang, not even Wuchao, Yanjin and other places.

Naturally, Zhang Lan would not give up the opportunity to beat the dog in the water, and immediately sent troops to contain him, but he did not order Huang Zhong to send troops from Qingzhou.

Zhang Lan was just planning to contain it, and didn't really want to take advantage of the situation and attack Jizhou. At this time, his territory is already bounded by the Yellow River, so he only needs to send troops to guard it, and then develop from under the Yellow River with a large army. Only then can we remain invincible.

Obviously Sima Yi didn't expect Zhang Lan to really send troops. After capturing Guangping, he left Xiangfeng here, and then followed Liu Bei to march straight up to attack Guangzong and other places.

Even if Yuan Shao knew that Zhang Lan intended to restrain him, he didn't dare to take Zhang Lan seriously, so he left more than [-] troops to guard Li Yang, and personally led the army north to rescue.

Zhang Lan finally rested again.

"Chen Xi, do you miss Dad?"

Although Xiao Chenxi also missed Zhang Lan very much, but when she saw her at this time, she pouted her mouth angrily and snorted heavily, ignoring Zhang Lan.

"My little princess, what's the matter?"

Xiao Chenxi's eye sockets suddenly became moist, "You don't care about me, my mother, and my younger brother."

Hearing Xiao Chenxi's words, Zhang Lan felt a pain in her heart, yes, it's been so long, how are Yu'er and the others?

Seeing that Zhang Lan also became silent, Xiao Chenxi was even more sad, her tears could no longer be stopped, she turned around and ran in a fit of anger, and ran back to her room.
