The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 453 Zhang He's High View
After accepting Di Qing, a handsome talent, the civil and military around Lu Heng has expanded to the point where it is comparable to Yu Yunwen's Western Front. Look at the talents around Lu Heng now.

Shangguanyi, Shamoke, Dangjin, Pan Lin, Yan Baihu, Yan Yu, Tao Sanchun, Zhao Yu from the personal guard camp.

Among the advisors were Ding Wei, Zhuge Liang, Wen Huanzhang, Zhao Pu, Chen Gong, Kou Chan, Gu Yong, Song Ci, Zhao Heng, Xun Chen, and Chen Dong.

Generals include Gao Shun, Hu Yanzan, Tai Shixiang, He Yuanqing, Gan Ning, Di Qing, Wang Mo, Yang Qin, Ji Ling, Jiang Qin, Quan Cong, Tan Xiong, Xie Jing, Guanghui, Kou Feng, Yin Shangchi, Zhang Xun, Su Fei and other generals, as well as Qingzhou Yue Sheng, Liu Zan and Zhang Yi.

Among them, Zhuge Liang has already arrived in Qingzhou with Tan Xiong, Xie Jing, Guanghui, Kou Feng and a group of advisers. This time Lu Heng is going north for a formal battle.

When Lu Heng wiped out Yang Yao and Zhong Xiang, the situation in Qingzhou changed. The vanguard Zhang Xi and Gao Lan stormed the counties where Liuzan, Zhang Yi, and Yue Sheng were stationed, which was very unsatisfactory.

Zhang Wei also sacrificed the wooden building invented by Du Gao, as well as the eight-ox crossbow. The advantage allowed Gao Lan to continue to attack the city, and Zhang Yun led the army to build a pontoon bridge across Luohe to attack the rear.

Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Zhang Yun build the pontoon bridge, and acted impatiently. He frequently dispatched Yue Sheng to lead his troops to attack Zhang He's pontoon bridge. In fact, Zhang Wei judged that Gao Lan and Zhang He would be defeated and blocked them, and asked Yue Sheng to fight with them before retreating. .

In this way, Zhang He believed that the rear of Qingzhou was empty, and stepped up the construction of the pontoon bridge. After the construction was completed, he asked Gao Lan to organize a feint attack to contain Du Gao's defenders.

Zhang He led the army to cross Luohe, and the plan went very smoothly. The former army had already disembarked and the latter halfway to the pontoon bridge.
Before crossing and attacking, first shoot with crossbowmen, and then command Yuan Jun, who broke the pontoon bridge and had not yet escaped, to go into the water separately. At the same time, Zhuge Liang's infantry rushed to kill and oppress Yuan Jun who had already landed.

Jiang Qin and Zhuge Liang jointly attacked Zhang He's army, causing the latter to be defeated. If Zhang He hadn't acted decisively and immediately ordered the retreat when he saw the Haijiao Camp, and Gao Lan had desperately rescued him when he saw the situation was bad, half of Zhang He's soldiers and horses would have almost lost their entire army. overwhelmed.

Even so, this vanguard suffered heavy losses, but what both Zhang Yi and Zhuge Liang couldn't figure out was, what was Yuan Tan doing on the other side of the Yellow River?
Yuan Tan had no intention of cooperating with Zhang He and Gao Lan at all, and let the two alone go deep into the county. Before that, he did not send a single soldier, and after Zhang He was defeated by half crossing, he did not send reinforcements. Sit on the wall and watch, let Zhang He and Gao Lan perform.

It was impossible for Tian Feng to make such a mistake based on his resourcefulness, and the two concluded that there was a major problem within Yuan Tan.

Zhang He and Gao Lan experienced a big defeat, and Lu Heng's reinforcements had arrived, thinking that it was meaningless to storm the county, they retreated to the Yellow River Ferry and asked Yuan Tan for reinforcements, but none of them saw it.

"Special! Yuan Xiansi wants to kill us two brothers!"

"Yuan Bo (Gao Lan's character Yuan Bo), be careful to say that there are ears to be heard through the wall, and the situation for you and me will be even more difficult."

"But... hey!"

For half a month, Zhang He and Gao Lan sent more than a dozen requests for help to Yuan Tan, but there was no news.

That's why Gao Lan was so angry, even directly addressing Yuan Tan's name. Although Zhang Xi was persuading Gao Lan, his face was not very good-looking.

Everyone was very surprised, Tian Feng didn't persuade Yuan Tan?
No!Now Tian Feng is very impatient, and his mouth is full of bubbles. At first Tian Feng advised Yuan Tan to cooperate with Zhang Xi to send troops.

Zhang He and Gao Lan commanded the troops in front, and Yuan Tan led the troops in the rear, taking care of each other's horns.

But after Zhang Yun and Gao Lan sent troops, Yuan Tan repeatedly refused to send troops, which was a trick of procrastination.

Either the food and grass were not collected completely, or Yuan Tan fell ill suddenly, or something else. In short, every time Tian Feng went to Yuan Tan, he had various excuses not to send troops.

When the news of Zhang He and Gao Lan's defeat and Zhang He's request for help reached Pingyuan, Tian Feng found Yuan Tan immediately: "My lord, the two generals Zhang He and Gao Lan are at a disadvantage in the battle, and they should send troops to rescue immediately, otherwise The two generals are in danger."

When Yuan Tan heard Zhang Yun and Gao Lan's defeat, he was shocked on the surface but ecstatic inside. He said perfunctorily that he would send troops to rescue him, but he didn't take any action.

The stubborn Yuan Tan already believed that Zhang Xi and Gao Lan were Yuan Shang's men, and they would either die in the south of the Yellow River, or be completely defeated so that they would have no place in the army.

Otherwise, his position as the sole leader of the army in Qingzhou would be lost in the future, and these two people have high prestige in the army. Since they both support Yuan Shang, it is better to use Lu Heng's hand to get rid of these two people.

That's right, this is Xin Ping's plan for Yuan Tan. The purpose is to get rid of Zhang Yun and Gao Lan. The reason is that Xin Ping brought Yuan Shao's order to Zhang Yun to lead Yuan Tan's troops when necessary!
Xin Ping kept talking about the letter assigned to Yuan Shao, how he admired Zhang He and Gao Lan, and believed that Yuan Tan was unable to defend Qingzhou.

Xin Pingyue said that the judges admired Zhang Yun and Gao Lan, Yuan Tanyue hated them, and Xin Ping's instigation offered a strategy: "Instead of keeping these two people under the control of the eldest son, it is better to use Lu Heng's support to support Yuan Shang." Get rid of these two with your hands."

Zhang Yun didn't know it was because of this reason, and this person never thought of using this right at all, Yuan Tan would not believe it because of preconceived ideas, and Tian Feng didn't know there was such an order at all.

The unequal information makes it impossible to break the situation. Tian Feng's constant remonstrance makes Yuan Tan also become impatient, and chooses not to see Tian Feng any more and listen to Xin's more trustworthy comment.

It was at this point that Lu Heng led his troops northward, and both Zhuge Liang and Zhang Wei informed Lu Heng of the news.

Of course, Lu Heng would not know the root cause of this. It was enough to know that Yuan Tan must have conflicts with Zhang He and Gao Lan.

After learning this information, Lu Heng thought, Zhang Yun and Gao Lan had defected to Cao Cao in the original time and space, and now they can work to make them turn against Yuan Shao and seek refuge with him.

Lu Heng ordered Zhuge Liang's troops to join his army and storm Zhang He's and Gao Lan's camps. At the same time, he asked Jiang Qinhai's Jiao camp and Gan Ning's Jinfan camp to attack Zhang He's boats by the river first, and then hid at the mouth of the Yellow River, allowing Zhang He's small boats to call for help. If there is a large-scale crossing of the river, troops will be sent to attack.

From then on, Lu Heng stormed Zhang Yun and Gao Lan's camp for several days. He wanted to retreat to the plain and found that all the ships were burned.

Zhang He and Gao Lan sent countless letters of appeal for help, and went to Yuan Tan like snowflakes, but there was still no news as usual.

"Junyi! I worked hard for them, but I got this kind of treatment. It's better to be the other way around! Since Yuan Tan is not benevolent, we are unrighteous, so we take refuge in Marquis Wu!"
