Volume Two: Unpredictable Chapter 592: Gao Lan¡¯s Madness

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the surface, the outcome of this battle is unbelievable.  Yuan's army had a strength of 160,000, but was overwhelmed by three armies of less than 3,000 men. General Qu Yi was killed by Guan Yu, and military counselor Tian Feng was captured by Gao Shun.

    But if you think about it carefully, the officers and soldiers of Yuan's army only care about self-preservation and their generals are not united. Therefore, the 160,000 Yuan army may appear to be powerful on the surface.

    Qu Yi and Tian Feng are both capable generals and counselors. If Gao Lan had not decided to withdraw the troops and return reinforcements without authorization, the morale of the army would be shaken, and Yuan's army, which was already in disarray, would become even more scattered and chaotic.  Maybe the results will be completely different.

    But the matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.  It can only be said that Xi Zhicai's risky move finally achieved unimaginable miraculous results.

    Heifengqi, Jingdun camp, and the trapped camp went up the mountain one after another. Wen Han greeted them at the mountainside camp. Guan Yu, Gao Shun, Xu Huang and other generals and soldiers came one after another.  It is natural that Wenhan would give praise and gifts to those who contributed to this battle.

    After that, Wenhan immediately ordered his troops to withdraw from the mountains and rushed to the plain five miles away from the mountains. It was already late at night, and more than 40,000 Xilong and Zhang Xiu were waiting.  The reason why Wenhan was so anxious to withdraw his troops here was because Xilong had warned him early, saying that there were many talented people in Yuan's army. If someone saw a flaw and led the army to attack violently, Wenhan's current financial situation would be impossible to resist.  The troops were withdrawn here just in case.

    At the same time, in Wu'an City.

    "What did you say!!! What happened to General Qu and the military advisor!! Tell me again!!!"

    Gao Lan roared loudly, his eyes were full of horror, and his whole body was shaking frequently. This was not caused by anger, but by the fear that he would face if he made a big mistake today!

    "General Quququ was executed by Naguan Guan Yunchang! The military advisor was also captured by Gao Gao Boyi!"

    A general Yuan knelt on the ground and stammered, his whole body was trembling, and he reported weakly.

    In an instant, Gao Lan seemed to have had his soul sucked out, his whole body was completely drained of strength, and his body fell paralyzed on the big seat.  He originally thought that with so many troops and horses on the front line, and that Qu Yi and Tian Feng were heavily protected, how could they be in danger?  Even if today's battle at the back door of Wu'an was a hidden conspiracy, Wen Han's other 50,000 soldiers and horses could at most kill the army and defeat it miserably.  How could Gao Lan have imagined that Qu Yi would be killed by Guan Yu and Tian Feng captured by Gao Shun.

    ???????These two people are Yuan Shao's important ministers, and now they have lost something due to their own mistakes. Gao Lan can be said to have committed a huge disaster. According to military law, Gao Lan's death is also to blame!

    "It's over, it's all over! Ju Yi and Tian Feng are dead and the other is captured. If the lord finds out, no one from me on, no matter how big or small, will be able to escape the crime of beheading!"

    Gao Lan looked crazy and roared.  When all the Yuan generals under His Highness heard this, their faces were filled with gloom and despair.  General Yuan, who had triangular eyes and sinister eyes, suddenly walked out to persuade him with a terrifyingly gloomy expression.

    "General Gao, since the matter has come to this, it is better not to stop doing anything. You can lead the army and stand on your own feet. I am willing to ride under your command!"

    The triangular-eyed General Yuan¡¯s words were shocking. As soon as he said these words, there was an uproar in the palace.  A general who was a descendant of the Yuan family quickly walked out and shouted sharply.

    "What a shame! Are you going to rebel?"

    "Is it possible that we are all sitting here waiting for death, waiting for the Lord to order us to be killed! Everyone here, most of you today did not listen to General Qu's order and withdrew the troops without permission. Otherwise, how could Guan Yunchang enter the formation so easily and defeat 160,000 soldiers?  Take General Ju's head! If the master really wants to pursue it carefully, everyone here will die!"

    "Hmph! The order to withdraw the troops was given by General Gao. We just obeyed the order, so why are we guilty!"

    Relying on his family background, the Yuan family's children dared to point out Gao Lan's crimes.  Gao Lan's cold eyes suddenly narrowed, and a murderous aura flashed through his eyes, but Gao Lan still held back and did not have an attack.

    "Shut up! General Gao is just worried that Wu'an will fall into the hands of the civil army, but don't forget that the army's granary is in Wu'an City. Once Wu'an City is broken, the granary will be burned. The two hundred thousand army is like a weaned baby. Once the civil army  The extraordinary army is coming, and they will be destroyed if they lay their hands on you!

    General Gao acted cautiously, so what's the crime?  ?  "

    A close confidant of Gao Lan, General Yuan, stepped forward and quickly refuted the general who was a descendant of the Yuan family.

    "General Gao, as a deputy general in the army, followed orders to guard Wu'an, but was deceived by the enemy. He made decisions without thinking about the overall situation. He is naturally guilty!"

    Soon another general, a descendant of the Yuan family, walked out with a shout, also pointing the finger at Gao Lan.  Gao Lan sneered in his heart, most of these Yuan family's children were idle people who usually only flattered him, but now it was better. Seeing that the momentum was not right, in order to evade the crime, they actually wanted to kill him.

      Gao Lan clenched his fingers tightly, and his fists crackled loudly.

    This terrifying sound suddenly turned the noise in the hall into deathly silence.  Gao Lan was like a volcano about to erupt, full of murderous intent, which frightened the two Yuan family members into shutting up and not daring to act recklessly.

    After all, after Qu Yi died, Gao Lan became the commander of the army as a matter of course, both in terms of reputation and military position.  Gao Lan held great power, and once he was angered, he would order the execution of these two Yuan family members, which would be a piece of cake.

    But once Gao Lan does this, it means that he has made up his mind to leave Yuan Shao and lead his own side!

    "Here comes Yuan Wei, Yuan Sui openly offends the general, slanders the general, and disrupts the morale of our army. Push him out and chop him!!!"

    ¡°How majestic!! How dare you!!!¡±

    When one of the Yuan family¡¯s disciples heard this, he immediately felt like a wolf about to be killed, and the hair on his body seemed to stand on end.

    "Gao Weihuan, even if you dare to rebel, don't forget that my uncle still has 500,000 elite soldiers! Moreover, most of the soldiers in this army are from Ji and You, and their families are all under my uncle's jurisdiction.  Within. Once my uncle leads the army, at least half of the 200,000 troops will attack immediately! You, Gao Weihuan, don¡¯t have the capital to rebel!¡±

    Another disciple of the Yuan family immediately echoed.

    "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!"

    After a moment, Gao Lan let out a burst of wild laughter, which made the two Yuan family disciples feel cold in their hearts.

    "Gao Weihuan, what are you laughing at!! You must be crazy!!!!"

    Gao Lan's laughter suddenly stopped, like a tiger ready to explode. He pulled out the sword in his hand and rushed straight in front of the two Yuan family disciples. With the sword in his hand, he immediately killed the Yuan who had just shouted.  The descendants of his family raised their swords and hacked him to death.

    Blood spattered and half of Gao Lan's face was blood red.  Another Yuan family member was so frightened that he immediately became paralyzed and fell to the ground, screaming in shock.

    "High and mighty!! What do you want!!? You are really crazy!!! We are the children of the Yuan family and have a noble status. How can you, a lowly person like you, kill at will!!"  !¡±

    Gao Lan also came from a poor family, but he had set great ambitions since he was a child to make his way in this troubled world.  Gao Lan was extraordinarily brave, and was born with great strength. His strength was far beyond that of ordinary people. When he was young in the countryside, Gao Lan could hold two big buffaloes with both hands without changing his expression.  When Gao Lan was fifteen years old, the Yellow Turban Rebellion just broke out. Gao Lan went around doing chivalry and defeating the Yellow Turban thieves. Later, Gao Lan won a lot of gold and silk from the Yellow Turban thieves.

    Gao Lan knew that it would be difficult to achieve great things with one person's bravery, so he went to Yecheng, Jizhou to study the art of war with a famous teacher. He studied hard for several years. After he had achieved success, Yuan Shao happened to gather talented warriors in the river. Gao Lan heard that Yuan Shao was from Runan.  The Yuan family, the fourth and third generation of the Yuan family in Runan, could be said to be the most noble and famous family in the world at that time.  At that time, Yuan Shao had just had a falling out with Dong Zhuo. Gao Lan saw that Yuan Shao was not afraid of Dong Zhuo's power and that he was from a famous family, so he must be a benevolent, righteous and courageous hero, so he made up his mind to rush for it.

    Later, Gao Lan repeatedly performed extraordinary feats under Yuan Shao, rising from a small pony archer to the position of Zhonglang General, and together with Wen Chou, Yan Liang, and Zhang Jia, he was known as the Four Court Pillars of the River.  Gao Lan's official position has been rising continuously, so he should feel happy and happy, but under Yuan Shao's command, Gao Lan feels that his life is not as good as the other day.

    As Yuan Shao's power grew stronger, Gao Lan felt that Yuan Shao was becoming more and more unfamiliar, and that he was further and further away from the image of a wise man in his heart.  Yuan Shao is self-willed, selfish and dictatorial. He does not listen to unfavorable advice, but only listens to what he likes. He only cares about expanding his power and does not care about the welfare of the people or the life and death of his soldiers.

    Any ministers who disobey his will will either be severely punished and ignored by him, or their homes will be confiscated and beheaded.  In order to survive and to maintain the status he had gained through many life-and-death struggles, Gao Lan had to change himself, lose himself, and find it hard to repay his aspirations. How could Gao Lan live a satisfactory life like this?

    " Moreover, as Yuan Shao gradually became more powerful in conquering the world, he gradually began to use relatives only, promoting relatives of the Yuan family or some people from wealthy families.  As for those generals who came from poor families, Yuan Shao gradually became alienated and even sometimes became more wary of them.

    After all, Yuan Shao, who was born into a wealthy family in the world, always felt that people from poor families were unruly and rebellious. Once they had great power, they would be difficult to intimidate, leading to many misfortunes.  Gao Lan came from a poor family and controlled a lot of power, so he was naturally wary of Yuan Shao.  Although Gao Lan was helpless and angry about this, as a human subject, what could he do besides endure it?

    But the longer he endured it, the deeper his resentment became. Facing the critical moment of life and death, Gao Lan's deep resentment broke out.

    ¡°Despicable!!!¡±

    Gao Lan smiled suddenly, pressed these two words heavily, and his eyes became sinister and terrifying.  Suddenly, Gao Lan raised his big foot and stepped hard on the Yuan family member.Above the chest.  Gao Lan's strength was so great that he stepped on the Yuan family member until his face twisted in pain.

    "Ignorant boy!! Do you know that if your uncle didn't have a group of lowly people like me risking their lives to fight on the front line for him, your uncle's power would have been swallowed up by other princes just by you and other rich and delicate people?  !¡±

    Gao Lan's shouts became louder and louder, and the strong resentment erupted like a huge wave of anger. As soon as Gao Lan finished speaking, the big foot suddenly increased its strength, and immediately dented the Yuan family's chest!
