Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 333 Showdown on the Plains
Cao Cao's retreat is undoubtedly a very happy thing for Liu He, because it means that they can directly send troops to Pingyuan from then on. As long as they occupy Pingyuan, they can cut off the connection between Cao Cao and Yuan Tan. At this time, Zhao Yun and Tian Yu were leading an army in the north to attack Bohai County, and the army was advancing unimpeded. It is estimated that by the time their own army captured the plains, Yuan Tan would have nowhere to go.

Therefore, Liu He decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue, so he issued an order, and the whole army immediately launched a pursuit.

So the soldiers of the three armies started to move immediately, and all assembled within half an hour. If Cao Cao heard about this speed, his jaw would fall to the ground in shock. You must know that even riding from the battlefield to the barracks requires a stick of incense. Time, that is to say, within a quarter of an hour at most, his sergeant had already made all preparations for the pursuit, including pulling out the camp and gathering the team!
Of course, relatively speaking, Zhang Xi and Gao Lan's team moved slowly, and it was not until more than an hour later that they finally finished their preparations. At this time, Liu He's army was already more than ten miles away.

"Well, I have to say that the gap between our army and this Liu He's army is really too big. It took half an hour before and after returning here from the front of the battle to pack up and get ready to go. This speed is enough to reflect a The quality of the army, at least my army can't reach this point, and it can even be said that the gap is far away. I have always firmly believed that our army is a rare elite in the world, but now, fourth brother, you see it , This is the real elite, fighting against such an elite, we are afraid that we will die as ugly as possible."

"Then what should we do? Third brother, there are only two brothers left in Hebei Sitingzhu. You are my real brother. No matter where you go or what you do, I will obey you." Gao Lan who spoke was suddenly excited, and said firmly.

"Hey, what are the four courtyard pillars in Hebei? That's because others put gold on our faces. Our two brothers were both generals of Han Shijun. Brother, can they be the same? Even the eldest brother and the second brother admire our martial arts skills and get along well with each other, but what do they think deep down in their hearts... Forget it, the eldest brother and the second brother have passed away. We don't have to say that they are bad anymore. Besides, the two of them are really good to us. What I want to say now is that although we are not doing well under the old lord's command, after all, this It is also the old lord's kindness to us. Now that the old lord has passed away and the new lord is on the throne, although the situation we are facing is very complicated and the enemy is also very powerful, we still have to be loyal to the new lord, even if we take ten thousand steps back, No matter what price we pay, we will do our best to ensure the safety of the new lord."

"What the third brother said is true." After hearing Zhang He's words, Gao Lan nodded and said, "But to be honest, fighting against an opponent like Liu He, I don't even have the slightest confidence, and I'm not even afraid of your making fun of you. , as soon as I heard about fighting with the troops under his command, I felt strong fear. This was something I had never encountered in my more than ten years in the army. Furthermore, in fact, from another aspect, Liu He waited for We are indeed very nice. Not only did we treat you to food and drinks, we also gave you a lot of gold and silver. But third brother, you were too dead-looking to accept it. My younger brother also knows that this is the other party's attempt to win over you. But third brother, think about it. , why does the other party want to win over us? Are our martial arts stronger than the current Qu Yi? Or are we more powerful than Cao Cao? We don't have any of these, but the other party is still so enthusiastic about us. In my opinion, this is purely a matter of love for talent. Eager.”

Zhang He smiled faintly and said, "Whether you love talents or win over others, we cannot be those who betray the Lord now. This is our principle."

"Well, what the third brother said is that if we don't be the ones who betray the master, we would rather die than surrender..."

"Okay, this is my good brother, but even if we die, we must die with value, and we must not die casually. Sometimes we even have to endure humiliation. In fact, death is easy, but sometimes, A life of humiliation is very difficult."

As Zhang Xi said, he patted Gao Lan on the back lightly, and Gao Lan who spoke directly was puzzled.

"Okay, now is not the time to think about these issues. Liu He is leading the army to the plains, and we have to follow up. In fact, the outcome has already been determined, but the purpose of our trip is to see if we can save Liu He's men. The next eldest son, no matter what, this is also the eldest son of the old lord. According to the patriarchal system, he should be the successor. Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this. The next brother, the so-called brothers fight outside the wall to resist their insults. In times of crisis, these two brothers should unite and deal with the crisis together, but they have become tools for others to fight for power and profit. It is really sad, but no matter what Anyway, we should do our best to protect their safety, this can be regarded as a reward to the lord at the same time."

"Third brother, I understand. Let's set off now." Gao Lan felt a burst of emotion after hearing what Zhang He said, and at the same time made up his mind to do what the third brother Zhang He said.

Next, Zhang He and Gao Lan led the army and set off for the plain.

However, after they had traveled less than thirty miles, they saw dust billowing in front of them. It turned out that two teams were fighting.

Zhang He was shocked when he saw this, and quickly sent people to investigate the situation, but the news he got was shocking. It turned out that Cao Cao believed that Liu He would catch up, so he set up an ambush here to wait for the arrival of Liu He's army. Then the two sides launched a battle of ambush and counter-ambush.

After Gao Lan heard the news, he was very anxious, and immediately prepared to lead the army to help Liu He, but he saw Zhang He blocked him and said, "Don't worry about this matter. Now that Liu He and Cao Cao are both defeated, isn't it the master's blessing? I I'm afraid there won't be a war between them."

However, even though he said this in his mouth, Zhang Yun felt a little ashamed in his heart. After all, the other party came to help his army put down the rebellion, so it was really unreasonable not to help.

So Zhang He struggled for a long time before making up his mind to help Liu He put down the rebellion. However, when his army was about to go to the battlefield, he suddenly heard a hearty laughter not far away: "General Zhang, General Gao, don't bother!" You guys, we have solved the matter, Cao Cao was defeated and fled, we only need to go further to reach the plains."

"What?" Hearing that voice, Zhang He and Gao Lan were both shocked and speechless, and at the same time they thought silently: "How long has it been? Liu He has already given Cao Cao's ambush soldiers Defeated? It's unbelievable!"
