Chapter 571 (2/2)

On the seventh day of May, Gao Lan led a 5000 step cavalry and sent out another 5000 civilian men. To the outside world, he was known as the 30000 army. He led the troops to the South with self-evident intention, which was to rescue Yecheng.

Outside Yecheng City, in Liangzhou army camp.

Jia Xu's face was faintly excited. He held a letter in his hand and walked in a hurry.

”Mr. Wenhe?” Seeing Jia Xu, Guan Hai said in a hurry, ”why is Mr. Wenhe so happy?”

Jia Xu said with a smile: ”there is an urgent military situation. Go to inform the general.”

Guan Hai didn't dare to delay, so he rushed in and reported to the police. Then he came out: ”Mr. Wen he, general, please.”

Jia Xu nodded, adjusted his clothes, and then walked in.

”Wenhe, is there any news from Yuan Shao's army in Youzhou?” Liu Ye asked with a smile.

”It is.” Jia Xu said, ”Youzhou Army started from youbeiping and has passed through Yuyang county. Now it is coming to Zhuo county.”

”Oh?” Liu Ye said curiously, ”who are the leading generals of the Youzhou army and how many men and horses have been used?”

”The leading general of the Youzhou army is Gaolan, and the name of Youzhou army is 30000.” Jia Xu said with a smile.

”Gao Lan? He's a famous general, and he's good at fighting. ” Liu Ye sneered: ”but 30000 troops, Gao Lan is really dare to talk nonsense.”

Jia Xu also said with a smile: ”yes, not to mention Gao Lan's subordinates. Yuan Xigang just got Youzhou from Gongsun Zan. The main force of Yuan Shao's army is still in Jizhou. It's hard to say whether there are 30000 troops in Youzhou. These 30000 troops must be false names, but I don't know how much water there is.””Good to say.” Liu Ye ordered: ”send out the sentry to see how many enemy troops there are, but even if the Youzhou army pours out, it will be up to 10000 at most.”

Jia Xu asked, ”how is the general going to deal with Gao Lan?”

”Well...” Liu Ye pondered for a while and said, ”although Gao Lan is called the four court pillars of Hebei Province together with Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Han Meng, he is quite different from the other three. Yan Liang's bravery is brave, but he is brave enough. Gao Lan is both brave and resourceful. It is difficult to induce him to fall into the trap.”

Jia Xu said bluntly: ”well, how about setting an ambush on the road that Gaolan must pass through? When the Youzhou army arrives, the whole army will be killed. With the strength of our Liangzhou army, it should be no surprise to defeat the Youzhou army. ”

Liu Ye nodded: ”well, in this case, he ordered Mengqi to lead 5000 iron cavalry and Gongming to lead 7000 soldiers to set up ambush in the valley and hill of Zhuo County, and beat him to Gaolan by surprise!”

Guqiu is the southernmost part of Zhuo county. Once passing through the valley, Gaolan headquarters will enter Jizhou. At that time, Youzhou army will certainly relax temporarily. At this time, Liangzhou army will suddenly kill, which will certainly frighten Youzhou army.

However, Jia Xu was somewhat surprised: ”to deal with a Gao Lan, he was really curious about sending out two of our army's top generals. Who is Gao Lan and who is worthy of the general's attention?”

Liu Ye laughs: ”the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. What's more, is Gao Lan such a famous general? At the moment, our army is encircling Yecheng and not attacking Yecheng. Meng Qi and Gongming are both busy at the moment, and they are eager to go out. ”
