The most terrifying thing is not the army moving, the most terrifying war is the siege. Just like Ma Teng and Han Sui defended the city in the past, they defended the city in a stable manner, and Zhang Xiu could only attack with force.

Now Gao Lan's 50,000 elite soldiers pass by the nearby area in a daze, which is like a fat sheep.

Wouldn't you be too sorry for yourself if you don't eat it?

Zhang Xiu didn't think much about it and said to Ma Dai: "Send the order and order the three armies of Yulin, Qimen, Hu Ben, Gao Shun, and Fan Chou to raise an army immediately. By the way, don't use my banner, but the "Taishi" flag. If Gao Lan knew that I would go out in person, he would run away."

"No." Ma Dai responded to the nostalgia and gave the order.

Soon after, the army gathered inside the west gate of the city.

Zhang Xiu turned over the horse, took a big gun from a soldier in the hands of a Hu Ben Army, and raised his head to Taishi Ci under the horse and said, "Ziyi. I'll trouble you in the city."

"No." Taishi Ci responded and moved away from his body.

Zhang Xiu loudly ordered the soldiers to open the city gate, and then ordered Gao Shun to first and Fan Chou to second. Under the banner of Taishi Ci, he led the Qimen, Yulin and Hu Ben armies at the end.

He sent out spies to fight toward Gaolan in a bold manner.

Most of the land in Hedong and Hanoi counties are plains. Near Huai County, there are a large number of Yuan Shao's spies.

Zhang Xiu led his army out of Huaicheng and was immediately reported to him by Yuan Jun.

......

On the Western Road, Gao Lan led 50,000 horses and infantry to the north to meet Yuan Shao, and there were many large trucks of supplies and cars that walked relatively slowly.

Gao Lan is just the general, and there are many generals under his command. One of them is Pingyuan Prime Minister Liu Bei and Liu Bei's two younger brothers.

After the battle against Montenegro, Liu Bei selected elite soldiers and recruited the old and weak. Not only did his strength not be reduced, but he increased a little.

Under the flag of the "Gao" character, Gao Lan held a big gun and rode a black horse and headed north. He looked to the east frequently, which was the direction of Huai County.

The big banner of Liang Lord was all raised. Zhang Xiu personally arrived in Huaicheng, which was a solid evidence. Facing this guy who was invincible in the world and even had to be an emperor and personally conquered to such an extent, how could Gao Lan not be timid?

He himself sent a large number of spies to find out the movements in Huaicheng, and if there is any disturbance...

At this moment, Gao Lan's ear moved and turned to look east. A prodding horse rode his horse and soon arrived at Gao Lan's side. He reported: "General. There is an elite army of about 30,000 to 40,000 people who came out of Huai County, with the banner of Taishi, Gao, and Fan."

"Yeah!" Gao Lan's eyelids twitched, and then ordered with confidence: "Send the order. Order to lead 3,000 cavalrymen to harass the other party. Remember, don't fight, just harass them. They have no cavalry and cannot catch up with him. The rest of the people will go west immediately, and we will go to Wushan County to hide."

"Uh!!!" The personal soldiers were shocked when they heard this order. But they quickly realized and immediately rode their horses down.

Gao Lan is not ashamed of this, it is not wrong to be cowardly. As long as you are undefeated, it is enough. Zhang Xiu cannot afford to offend him or provoke him.

With Gao Lan's order, the three thousand cavalry in his army divided and harassed the east. The remaining 40,000 to 50,000 turn around and head to Wushan County, the empty city in the west.

Most generals did as they did, but Liu Bei was not convinced.

With the sound of horse hooves, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu rode their horses to Gao Lan. Gao Lan turned to look at the three brothers, and had a headache.

He had a good feeling for Liu Bei, he was an honest man. He was the guy with a ring-eyed thief and a phoenix-eyed eye. He was full of murderous aura and had two thorns.

"Is there anything wrong with Liu Xiang (Pingyuan Xiang Liu Bei)?" Gao Lan said with a smile.

"General Gao. I heard that Taishi Ci led 30,000 elite troops out of Huaicheng and attacked directly. Why didn't the general command us to fight with him? Why did he go west to hide in Wushan City?"

Liu Bei bowed his hand and was quite polite.

"Hmph." Zhang Fei snorted coldly, looking at Gao Lan with disdain. Guan Yu gently stroked his beautiful beard with his right hand and looked at Gao Lan with a squinting look.

Gao Lan was not stupid either. He immediately knew that he was despised by these two people. But he had a good temper and didn't care about it, just a headache.

"Liu Xiang didn't know anything. Zhang Xiu was very tricky. He used the banner of Taishi Ci, maybe it was Zhang Xiu himself. Zhang Xiu had the courage of ten thousand men, and you should also understand it before Hulao Pass. In addition, Dian Wei was inseparable from him. We may not be their opponents. Besides, if Zhang Xiu led the Liang leader's army and Gao Shun's camp, Fan Chou was the last general of Xiliang. Although he had only 30,000 people, we probably wouldn't be opponents. It would be better to go west to Wushan City to avoid the edge."

Gao Lan explained it, and then said meaningfully: "You know. We have hundreds of thousands of troops, so there is no need to compete with Zhang Xiu for a victory or defeat."

"You..." Zhang Fei's face turned dark when he heard this, and he was about to say something, but Liu Bei glared at him and had to stop talking in a depressed manner.

Liu Bei turned around, took a deep breath, and said sincerely to Gao Lan: "What the general said makes a lot of sense. But if you don't fight with him, you will run away when you see him, which may damage the morale of the army."

Gao Lan shook his head and said, "I would rather run than fail."

Liu Bei had no choice but to bow again, glanced at Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the three brothers turned their horses back together.

"Oh." Gao Lan sighed, who doesn't want to kill everyone? But it's better to be careful if you know yourself.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were riding a horse. Zhang Fei said angrily: "Gaolan is as famous as Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zhang He, and is the four generals of Hebei. I think he is just a coward, holding 50,000 elite soldiers, but he dared not fight with Taishi Ci, so he said that Zhang Xiu might be there. Even if Zhang Xiu is there again..."

At the end of the day, Zhang Fei was embarrassed to say it.

Before Hulao Pass, the three brothers went to the door together and had no choice but to Zhang Xiu. Later, they were defeated by Zhang Xiu and several generals, and they almost lost their lives.

Over the years, he and his second brother have been practicing martial arts diligently and have made some progress, and they are not worthy of fighting with Zhang Xiu. However, the eldest brother is only concerned about being an official, and his martial arts are becoming more and more common.

Why.

Liu Bei looked helpless, but said, "Third brother, don't be polite. General Gao's actions make some sense. Wait for the opportunity, we will be able to fight Zhang Xiu to the death sooner or later."

Speaking of this, Liu Bei said with anger, "Zhang Xiu exiled the emperor and proclaimed himself emperor. It is simply unbearable for heaven. I, Liu Bei, share the same sympathy with him."

"I'm the same." Zhang Fei nodded heavily, and said in a muffled voice as he played the snake spear in his hand.

Although Guan Yu didn't say anything, his pair of Danfeng eyes burst out with astonishing murderous aura.
