When the cavalry came near, Zhang He realized that he was wrong. It was not Yuan Shang who came, but Yuan Mai, the governor of Bingzhou who was about to surrender.

“Well…”

Yuan Mai took the lead and jumped down, bowed and smiled at Zhang He: "Haha... General Junyi is fine?"

Zhang He knelt on one knee and said with shame: "How dare you receive a great gift from a defeated general? He was sent by the Lord to attack Cao's army camp this time, but he was ambushed Cao Ren and lost his troops. He had no face to meet the Lord and was about to go to Bingzhou to join the Lord and apologize, but he didn't expect that the Lord would appear here, which was unexpected!"

"General Junyi does not need to blame himself. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. How can there be an undefeated general in the world?"

Yuan Mai helped Zhang He up, comforted him calmly, and then explained the reason why he suddenly led his troops to arrive: "I received a report saying that Cao thief was preparing to attack Wuchao at night, so he came to help with the war. Today I heard that Feng Ji slandered you and General Gao in front of his father, so he led his troops to comfort the two generals. I hope that both of you will not take it to your heart. I will defend you in front of my father, so I will not allow him to turn black and white..."

Speaking of this, I realized that only Zhang He and others were greeting him. He did not see Gao Lan's shadow. He asked in surprise: "Huh... why is only General Junyi here? Didn't General Gao camp with you?"

"well!"

Zhang He shook his head and sighed, saying what had just happened with a shame, and finally shook his head continuously: "To put it, this is Zhang He's fault, and he shouldn't have left Gao Lan. He just stood by him for many years, and he really couldn't bear to face the sword..."

After hearing Zhang He's words, Yuan Mai's expression changed. Unexpectedly, he was a step late and Gao Lan had already joined Cao. Fortunately, his previous friendship with Zhang He was not in vain. At the critical moment, Zhang He chose himself instead of Cao Cao, which was a gratifying thing!

The heavy cavalry that came was the Hu Ben Cavalry led by Zhang Liao. After Yuan bought the horse, Zhang Liao followed closely. At this moment, he heard the conversation between Zhang He and Yuan Mai. He said in a deep voice: "Please order from the governor. Let Liao lead his troops to chase him and kill Gao Lanzhi's head to come back to serve as a warning to you!"

Yuan Mai smiled slightly, looking confidently: "No need to chase after me. I have made arrangements. Gao Lan's head will come back in a while!"

After saying that, he shook his big red cloak. He led the generals into the camp, slowly waiting for Gao Lan's news, and said as he walked: "Even if he was slandered and framed by Feng Ji, Gao Lan should not go to Cao. He can hang his seal, become a bandit, or even go to Liu Bei and Liu Biao, I can spare him. Gao Lan chose Cao Cao, which is an enemy of my Yuan family. This is something that cannot be tolerated, so he can only use Gao Lan's head to sacrifice the flag!"

Zhang He looked like water and said nothing. He didn't know what the result would be if he had made the wrong idea and chose to join Gao Lan in his arms.

From where Zhang He camped, if you want to go to Cao's camp, you must go to Yanwei Gorge.

Gao Lan led more than 100 personal soldiers and galloped south desperately. He could only walk through Yanwei Gorge and walk more than ten miles to reach the Cao army camp. Although he did not bring the people there, it should not be difficult to get a general under Cao Cao's command with his own ability. It was much better than waiting to die in the Yuan family.

“Well…”

Halfway through Yanwei Gorge, Gao Lan was surprised to find a horse team blocking the exit of the canyon. About three hundred riders were all white horses, white armor, and even the flags were yellow and white.

The big flag of the character "后" fluttered in the wind, and all the soldiers on the horse bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the canyon, ready to go.

"Not good, there is an ambush, turn around and get out of the valley!"

Gao Lan reflected on it as fast as possible, immediately stopped his horse and turned around, ordered to turn around and go out of the valley, and find another way to Cao's camp.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Wang Shuang came to Yanwei Gorge one hour in advance under Yuan Mai's order and kept waiting for the ambush. Unexpectedly, a team was heading south. Seeing that the troops were in a hurry and didn't even beat the flag, it was probably what the young master said to be the commander, so he decisively ordered the arrows to be fired!

With Wang Shuang's order, three hundred "White Feather Cavalry" archers and crossbows were fired at once. Gao Lan's personal soldiers who had no time to turn around fell off their horses. In an instant, more than 30 riders fell off their horses, and even Gao Lan was shot in the shoulder.

Yanwei Gorge is three hundred feet long. When Gao Lan led his personal soldiers to turn around and run to the entrance in the rain of arrows, he couldn't help but feel desperate. He walked in a hurry when entering the canyon, not paying attention to whether there were ambushers in the woods on both sides, but at this moment he was already blocked.

The same three hundred white feathered cavalry lined up into the airtight wall, and shot arrows into the canyon. A wave of arrows shot down, and more than 30 people were caught in the arrows. Gao Lan could not dodge and was hit by another arrow in his leg.

"Change in the middle, abandon the war horse, and go out from the hillside!"

Gao Lan fought back to his mount and led the remaining twenty personal soldiers to rush into the middle, trying to cross the mountains and escape.

"Swoosh swish swish..."

The Baiyu Cavalry chased her hard, and there was another wave of arrows in the middle of the galloping. A crossbow arrow hit Gao Lan's mount's eyes. He couldn't help but scream, and the man stood up and threw Gao Lan off his horse.

“Go up the mountain!”

Gao Lan did not care about the pain, and was helped up by several personal soldiers and prepared to climb rocks from the middle.

But when his palm just grabbed the rock, Gao Lan was desperate, with three hundred crossbowmen on each side of the mountain, waiting to control the strings.

"I'm not willing..."

Gao Lan let out a scream in despair, and instantly, the rain of arrows shot like a waterfall. Gao Lan was unable to hide anymore. The places without armor on his body were shot through the arrows. In an instant, he was shot into a hedgehog, lying on the ground and unable to move!

In a Yanwei Gorge, more than 100 personal soldiers and horses led by Gao Lan died here, and none of them could escape.

Wang Shuang arrived, turned over and cut Gao Lan's head, hung in front of the horse, greeted the soldiers on the side of the mountain to go down the mountain, led the war horses from the woods outside, walked through Yanwei Gorge, and ran to Zhanghe camp.

Zhanghe's camp was filled with flags and the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

The horse hooves were made in the south, and dust was everywhere. Wang Shuang led a thousand five hundred white feather cavalry to arrive, rolled over and dismounted, raised Gao Lan's head, and paid a summoning visit to Yuan Mai: "The last general Wang Shuang met with the governor, and had cut off the head of the rebel general Gao Lan and presented it to his command!"

Finally, Gao Lan did not escape. Yuan Mai fell into the ground with a stone in his heart and nodded, "I did a pretty job. Gao Lan rebeled from the thief of Cao, and his crimes were unforgivable. He hung his head in front of the camp to warn others."

Looking at Gao Lan's bloody head, Zhang He felt both sad and afraid.

What is sad is that Gao Lan and I have been standing side by side with me for many years, and I finally end up with a different body and head today. Should I sympathize or should I deserve it? What is afraid is that if I had made the wrong idea and followed Gao Lan to join Cao Cao, will my head be hung like Gao Lan?

"Build the pot and make rice. Then I will follow me to see my father!" Yuan Mai patted Zhang He on the shoulder, "Brother Junyi, don't worry, with me here, you will never let Ji turn the black and white."

Now that things have come, Zhang He has no choice but to refuse. Life and death can only be left to fate. He nodded and said, "Young Master is the only one who decides everything!"

From the place where Zhang He camped to Yuan Shao's base camp, about ten miles away was just a blink of an eye. The flags were floating in the wild wind, and they arrived at the camp in a blink of an eye.

"The prince is all waiting outside. This team is only obeying my orders. Do you understand?" Yuan Mai turned over and dismounted, patted Wang Shuang on the shoulder before entering the camp, and reminded him.

This guy is nine feet tall, one head taller than Yuan Mai. It is a bit difficult to pat his shoulder, but Yuan Mai still likes this action; this will not only make people feel that he is the boss, but also brings the distance between himself and the soldiers.

"Shuangliu understand!" Wang Shuang bowed and agreed, "Young Master, don't worry, you won't be able to give your order. Even if Mr. Yuan speaks, this team will not move at all!"

Yuan Mai nodded with satisfaction, shook his big red cloak, and turned around and strode towards the camp. Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Zhu Gongdao, Zhou Cang and other four warriors all hung long swords on their backs, following Yuan Mai.

In the commanding tent, Yuan Shao was lying on the bed and gasping for breath.

A few days ago, he was infected with wind and cold and was very sick. He had just improved a little these days, and was furious again by the battle situation, which led to constant coughing and worrying physical condition. Feng Ji, Chen Lin, Chen Zhen, Han Fan, Linghu Shao, Puyang Xing and others were all standing beside him, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Xu You just joined Cao, and Xun Chen disappeared in a flash. What is even more shocking is that according to the report of the escaped guards, Gao Lan and Zhang He killed their personal soldiers and plotted against each other. Yuan Shao had already summoned Wen Chou to obey orders and led his troops to chase and suppress Zhang, the second general of Gao. The situation was unpredictable, and no one knew how the situation would evolve?

"My father, please withdraw?"

Yuan Shang heard that his father was in poor health, so he came to greet him. After holding it in for a long time, he finally said something.

"Ahem..."

After hearing Yuan Shang's words, Yuan Shao coughed violently, his face turned red, and he felt really unwilling.

This time, he came to attack Cao Cao with all his might. When he crossed the river, he had 150,000 people. After several battles, there were still 140,000 people. However, in the battle of Wuchao, he suffered heavy losses, suffered losses, fled, and nearly 60,000 people surrendered to the enemy. Only 80,000 soldiers with a fluctuating morale were left in his hands. More importantly, the food and grass were burned and the army was panicked.

If we counted the several battles with Cao Cao last year, a total of 120,000 people have been lost, which is one-third of all the people in Ji Qingyou and the four states. We cannot defeat Cao Cao when it is at its peak. After the vitality is severely damaged, will we still have a chance to enter the Central Plains?

Thinking of this, a sense of frustration filled Yuan Shao's heart, making him unwilling and helpless. In terms of life experience, appearance, reputation, he is far superior to this guy who is not good-looking and shorter than him, why can't he defeat him?

The messenger suddenly came to report: "Report to the lord, Yuan Mai, the governor of Bingzhou, to see you!"

"Prince!"

When he heard that his youngest son had arrived, Yuan Shaoqiang sat up with energy. I wonder how much food and grass he had snatched back from the Wuchao granary? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
