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

Chapter 176 Depressed Gao Lan, rushing to Xuzhou!

There is a saying that plans cannot keep up with changes. Mr. Yuan didn't have a deep feeling for this sentence before, but now he finally understands it.

Beside the Baimajin ferry, Yuan Tan looked at the five thousand young soldiers behind him who were still confused but not lacking in excitement, and smiled.

Half a day ago, he directly issued an order to let Lu Weikuang take over the rest of the refugee transfer work, with the experience Yuan Tan made in the past two days before him.

Lu Weikuang would no longer be frowning and bewildered at the [-] refugees as before.

But Lu Weikuang's troubles were solved, but it was said that Gao Lan was frowning for him.

There is no other reason, the eldest son has committed another impulsiveness.

After handing over the refugee relief affairs to Lu Weikuang, Yuan Tan led his [-] young soldiers directly to Baimajin Ferry.

At first Gao Lan thought Yuan Tan just wanted to appease the refugees who were still staying at the ferry.

As a result, when he rushed to Yuan Tan's place in a hurry, he could only face [-] young soldiers who had boarded the ferry and were slowly sailing towards the opposite side of the Yellow River.

Big eyes meet small eyes, everyone is dumbfounded.

"Major General, we only have 5000 troops. It would be unrealistic to attack Xuzhou by surprise..."

After rushing to the other side of the Yellow River, Gao Lan couldn't care less about taking a break, and hurried to Yuan Tan's side, earnestly trying to persuade his major general to turn around.

Isn't this a joke!

It is true that Cao Cao retreated, but Cao Cao's army did not suffer much damage, and patrols were everywhere around Xuzhou.

As far as their five thousand soldiers and horses collided with Cao Cao's headquarters, even five thousand more would be hard to resist.

To put it bluntly, if these 5000 people were sprinkled on the land of Xuzhou, they would not even make a splash!

However, Yuan Tan's expression was very calm, with a look of confidence, but this expression could not reassure Gao Lan no matter what.

He was really scared.

The last time I saw the major general showing such an expression, Yuan Tan led them directly to kick the Huns camp the next day.

But how many soldiers and horses did they have at that time?

Anyway, there are more than [-]!
And they are all battle-tested veterans.

What do they have on their hands right now?
There are no more than [-] soldiers and horses at full strength, and they are all just enlisted in the army, and they are probably freshmen who have not even been in the army for a year!
Expect these people to win more with less?
Gao Lan really had no hope.

Looking at Gao Lan with a worried face, Yuan Tan was also a little helpless, seeing Gao Lan acting like if you don't give a reason, I will hold you back here.

Yuan Tan rubbed the center of his brows, and said in a deep voice:

"Brother Gao, you have been with me for a long time, and you should know that I, Yuan Tan, am not a reckless person..."

When he said this, Yuan Tan himself blushed a little, and the corners of Gao Lan's mouth almost turned to one side when he saw Gao Lan.

Yuan Tan could only spread his hands and said:
"Okay, brother Gao, just rest assured, I will definitely not go directly to Cao Cao's main formation this time, we will take the path and surprise Xuzhou!"

Surprise attack on Xuzhou?

Take the path?
Gao Lan looked at Yuan Tan with a serious face, and just wanted to know who ran up to the Major General and poured him the ecstasy soup!
Taking a deep breath, trying to calm down the feeling of wanting to scold her, Gao Lan said helplessly:

"Major General, although there are small roads leading to Xuzhou on the map, those small roads are all deep in the mountains and old forests. If you want to pass through, you have to climb mountains and ridges. It's not that you will destroy your own ambitions and increase the prestige of others."

As Gao Lan spoke, he turned his head and looked at the five thousand young soldiers behind him, who were over-the-top young soldiers who had more than enough morale but were relatively underage. He shook his head and continued:
"If it's an old battalion of soldiers and horses, maybe they can still take a small path and try a surprise attack strategy, but with the five thousand... soldiers and horses we have right now, it's too unrealistic to want to make a surprise attack over the mountain."

It took a lot of effort for Gao Lan not to say the words of "five thousand trash" from his mouth.

However, Yuan Tan showed a mysterious smile:
"Brother Gao, don't worry, since I brought them to the other side and confidently said the strategy of surprise attack on the mountain road, I have already done enough preparations. If you believe me, follow me. If you don't believe me, please ask Let's go back."

Yuan Tan has already talked about this, so what else can Gao Lan say.

Is it possible that he really can't go back by himself?

Sighing heavily, Gao Lan grabbed the helmet with some headaches, gritted his teeth and said:
"What are you talking about, Major General? The Major General is also a warrior. How can he retreat before the battle? However, the Major General asked the Major General to agree to something. If things are not harmonious, the Major General also asks the Major General to retreat decisively. Don't act impulsively!"

Hearing Gao Lan's nod, Yuan Tan finally showed a smile on his face, nodded and said:
"It's natural. Brother Gao, just keep an eye on it. The competition will surprise you."

Gao Lanxin said, Major General, don't let me be surprised anymore, I have already burned incense and worshiped Buddha, but now that things have come to this point, he can only follow Yuan Tan.

Marching all the way, heading towards Xuzhou.

However, before they had traveled tens of miles, a burst of smoke and dust suddenly rose in the distance, as if it was the momentum of a cavalry charge.

"Cao Jun's sentry cavalry?"

Gao Lan suddenly urged the horse forward, his eyes flashed sharply, the silver gun was clenched tightly in his hand, and his face was solemn.

"No, this place has just crossed the Yellow River. Cao's bandit army is holding on to the four camps to prevent the victims from rebelling. When our army attacks, how can we spread the sentries so far?"

Yuan Tan was much calmer than Gao Lan, raised his hand to stop the charge of the five thousand cavalry behind him, and said in a deep voice.

Sure enough, the smoke stopped when it approached Yuan Tan's department, and a rider flew out after a while, but it was sent by Yuan Shao to the other side of the Yellow River.

Sui Yuanjin, who was in charge of harassing Xuzhou and investigating the military situation!
"Who is coming? Is there an order from the prime minister?"

Sui Yuanjin was wearing heavy armor, and leaped out on a black-maned horse, with a big knife clenched tightly in his hand, and a look of vigilance on his face.

Yuan Tan chuckled lightly, Gao Lan understood, raised his gun, and shouted loudly:

"Old Sui, don't you recognize me?"

Sui Yuanjin saw that Gao Lan was in front of him, the nervous expression on his face eased, he smiled, and went forward to meet Gao Lan.

"It turned out to be General Gao. You can't blame me for that. It's because you didn't show your banner. Now that we are on the other side of the Yellow River, we must be cautious."

With that said, Sui Yuanjin looked suspiciously at the five thousand soldiers and horses behind Gao Lan, and said strangely:

"It's just why General Gao brought troops here. Could it be that the Prime Minister has a new military strategy?"

Hearing Sui Yuanjin's question, Gao Lan just smiled helplessly.

On the other hand, Yuan Tan also urged him to go forward immediately, and slightly cupped his hands at Sui Yuanjin and said:

"General Sui, long time no see."

Only then did Sui Yuanjin realize that it was Yuan Tan who was facing him, and he hurriedly rolled off his saddle and dismounted:

"I didn't expect to see the major general here. The last general was rude, but the major general was ordered by the prime minister to come and harass Cao thief?"

Hearing Sui Yuanjin's question, Gao Lan's expression became more and more weird, and he subconsciously glanced at Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan nodded grinningly and said:

"Yes, that's right. Does General Sui Yuanjin know the current distribution of Cao's army? Can you explain it to me?"
