Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 191 The Lord is the first to ascend, shocking the forbidden!
After listening to Yuan Tan's words, Gao Lan fell silent.

Even if he is as calm and steady as him, he has to admit that although Yuan Tan's current layout is risky, it is the best choice.

If he retreated at this time, Xuzhou would definitely be taken down by Yu Jin.

As far as they have more than 4000 soldiers left now, if they want to conquer Xuzhou again, Yu Jin, who has been prepared for a long time, will definitely not let them do so again.

Moreover, even according to Gao Lan's previous thinking, staying in the city to defend is not very safe.

Even if Yuan Tan hadn't sent anyone to spread rumors in the army that the forbidden army was coming, those Xuzhou defenders who had just landed and hadn't even been there for a day.

After hearing the news of Yu Jin's return to the teacher, there will definitely be commotion.

At that time, while deploying defenses on the city wall, they had to be distracted to guard against whether the Xuzhou defenders behind them would suddenly stab a knife in the back.

They were originally lacking in physical strength, and it would not be easy for them to sustain Yu Jin's onslaught, and their chances of winning were also low.

But if it follows Yuan Tan's thinking.

Those who surrender will be given a chance to choose.

After all, it was a risky gamble, and he bet that Yuan Tan would not be able to beat the ban, and the reinforcements who were earlier than the ban would jump back before they started attacking Xuzhou.

It is better to wait until Yuan Tan and Yu Jin decide the winner, and then make a decision based on the result.

For ordinary soldiers, this choice is not difficult to make.

Your life is your own, the greatest credit is your boss's,

They jumped back at this time, and even if Yu Jin finally succeeded in capturing Xuzhou City, the greatest credit would certainly not fall on them.

Instead, it will cost a lot of life.

But if you wait for a while, if Yuan Tan loses, the morale of the remaining Gao Lan and those Yuan Shaojun who supervised him will definitely be unstable.

Wait until that time to launch a mutiny, and cooperate with the outsiders.

Not only is the chance of saving one's life greatly increased, but one or two points of military merit can also be gained.

With a long sigh, Gao Lan cupped his hands towards Yuan Tan and said sincerely:

"The junior general understands what the major general said, but after all, the major general is a man of gold. You must know that the son of a thousand gold can't sit still. Please leave the matter of leading troops to the battle to the junior general."

Hearing Gao Lan's advice, Yuan Tan waved his hands with a smile, but said half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"Brother Gao, it's not impossible to let you go to the battle, but brother Gao, can you defeat the ban within a few rounds?"

Hearing Yuan Tan's question, Gao Lan couldn't help but choked suddenly, looking at Yuan Tan with rare resentment in his eyes.

Gao Lan also wanted to understand what Yuan Tan said.

It's not that Gao Lan can't do it, but the prerequisite for it is that the general who leads the troops on the opposite side must be far behind Gao Lan in terms of martial arts.

Because he has few soldiers and horses, but the enemy has many soldiers and horses, plus the lack of physical strength of the soldiers in the headquarters and other factors.

This means that as the main general, he must defeat the opponent's general in the shortest possible time, so as to boost his own morale, attack the opponent's fighting spirit, and then open up the battlefield situation and reverse the disadvantage in numbers.

But Yu Jin and Gao Lan's martial arts are not far apart. Once they fight, there will be no tens or even hundreds of rounds, and it will be impossible to tell the winner.

At that time, not only will Gao Lan not be able to open up the situation, but he may be dragged down by Yu Jin!

You know, beside Yu Jin, he is not the only one, there is also Dong Wei following him!
In a two-on-one situation, looking at the entire Xuzhou, only Yuan Tan can do this!
Shaking his head helplessly, Gao Lan could only say to Yuan Tan:

"In this case, the last general can only stand behind, beating drums and cheering for the major general, and please be careful, the major general, to protect himself as the superior, after all..."

Gao Lan paused for a moment, but still said what was in his heart:

"It was a coincidence that Xuzhou City was taken down, at worst, throw it back to Cao Cao!"

"Hahahaha! Brother Gao, don't worry, just guard Xuzhou for me!"

Although what Gao Lan said was a bit straightforward, Yuan Tan knew that this was because his general was worried about him, so he agreed with a smile, then turned around and walked down the city wall!

It wasn't until Yuan Tan went down the city wall that Che Zhou, who had been patrolling the surrendered barracks, finally came back, but he saw Gao Lan standing on the top of the city wall, and he couldn't help being stunned:
"The major general is exhausted, have you gone down to rest?"

Che Zhou just thought it was a young man who couldn't bear the hardships and tiredness, and went back to the mansion to rest. He was still thinking that he was a young man after all, and he could not help but underestimate Yuan Tan, but he didn't show it on his face.

Gao Lan glanced at Che Zhou with a smile that was not a smile, and looked at Che Zhou with a cold heart, just when he was about to say a few words to ease the atmosphere.

Suddenly there was the rumbling sound of the city gate opening from under the city wall, causing Che Zhou to stuff the words he was about to ask back into his stomach, and his voice trembled a little:

"Gao...General Gao, what's the situation? Why did you open the city gate?"

Che Zhou was really scared.

His surrender to Yuan Tan was equivalent to blocking the way back to Cao Ying.

Cao Cao's suspicious character, his Che Zhou couldn't be more clear.

He was not Zhang Xiu, and he had the Xiliang army and horses in Wancheng as his support, which made Cao Cao almost die after Wancheng even though he had experienced Zhang Xiu's rebellion.

When Zhang Xiu surrendered for the second time, he still gritted his teeth and accepted Zhang Xiu's refuge, and even handed over the entire Wancheng to Zhang Xiu for defense, in order to show his magnanimous character!
But don't overlook a major premise!

That is Zhang Xiuyou Xiliang soldiers!
Although he also has soldiers and horses in his chariot, how can those country braves compare with Xiliang iron cavalry? !
Not to mention, the Xiliang iron cavalry under Zhang Xiu's command was brought out by his uncle Zhang Ji, and he was completely devoted to Zhang Xiu.

The country warrior in his chariot is just a soldier and horse he recruited with a lot of money in the countryside. Compared with the Xiliang cavalry in terms of loyalty, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground.

Che Zhou had no doubts that if he died on the battlefield, Cao Cao would not hesitate to assign Xiangyong under his command to other generals.

And absolutely no one of those country warriors would jump out to express any objection.

Therefore, anyone in the entire surrender camp can surrender, but he cannot!

Seeing that Che Zhou was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, Gao Lan, who had always looked down on Che Zhou, despised him even more.

But right now, if he wants to defend Xuzhou City well, he must rely on Che Zhou.

As long as Che Zhou is still there, those surrendered soldiers will have confidence in their hearts, and they will be able to wait for Yuan Tan and Yu Jin to decide the winner.

So Gao Lan still opened his mouth to explain:

"Can't General Che Zhou see it? Open the city gate, of course the Major General will lead his troops out of the city in person, and fight to the death with Yu Jin!"

Pfft!
Hearing Gao Lan's words, Che Zhou almost went limp and knelt down, and hurriedly threw himself down on the city wall to take a look, and asked in a trembling voice:

"The Major General is going to fight Yu Jin outside the city? I wonder how many troops the Major General has brought?"

Gao Lan stretched out his hand, shook it in front of Che Zhou, and said lightly:
"No more, no less, just three thousand cavalry!"
