There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Guo Tu has always been in charge of spying on Yuan Jun's intelligence affairs, so he stood up and said: "General, the pottery merchants have deployed all the soldiers and horses under their command to guard the passes, and the town generals of Licheng are Jiang Qin and Ling Cao. .”

"Jiang Qin? Ling Cao?" Yuan Shao frowned, and said, "Are these two very good?"

Guo Tu immediately replied: "Jiang Qin is the captain of the navy under the command of the pottery merchant. It is said that he was born as a water thief in Jiujiang, and Ling Cao was born in the southeast. The two are not well-known, but they can be considered to have some real skills. But if they can I'm afraid to defeat Jiang Qi so quickly."

Tian Feng stepped out of the squad and said: "General, I feel that something is wrong with the battle in Licheng."

"Oh?" Yuan Shao turned his head, looked at Tian Feng and said, "How do you say that?"

Tian Feng said: "Jiang Qin and Ling Cao are generals under the command of the pottery merchant. It should be good to have the skills of the pottery merchant, but I haven't heard of any great achievements made by the two for so many years, and there is nothing surprising about it. With their abilities, they shouldn't have defeated Jiang Qi."

Yuan Shao suddenly realized, he came back a bit, and said: "Yuan Hao means that these two people are helped by someone?"

After all, Tian Feng is a wise man in the world, and his strategy is good: "All the important generals under the Tao merchant's command have been dispatched, only himself and Guo Jia and Chen Deng are still in Kaiyang City, and there has been no movement from the senior officials. , and the potter has always been cunning, will he?"

Yuan Shao frowned when he heard the words: "You mean, the potter has already left Kaiyang?"

Tian Feng pondered for a while, and said: "I'm just guessing. Maybe it's Guo Jia or Chen Deng who arrived in Licheng, maybe."

Yuan Shao tapped the table lightly with his fingers, frowning.

But Pang Ji stepped out of the squad and remonstrated: "General, according to my humble opinion, whether the pottery merchant is in Kaiyang right now or not, you can find out with a test."

Yuan Shao turned to look at him: "How to try?"

Pang Ji was captured alive before, and now he is among the eight chief conspirators of the Yuan family. He has been ridiculed for this matter and ranked last. Now he has finally found a chance to restore his reputation, and hastily remonstrated:

"The general can send someone to pass the letter quickly, let the senior officials in Qidi try to attack Kaiyang, and test the opponent's reality. If the pottery is still in Kaiyang, then let the senior officials continue to fight with the pottery, but if After testing that the pottery merchant was not there, the general immediately ordered the high-ranking officials to storm Kaiyang and take Langya Kingdom in one fell swoop."

"Well, that's a very good remark." Yuan Shao agreed.

A letter was carried by Yuan Jun's fast horse straight to Qidi, and delivered to the high-ranking officials as quickly as possible.

After the senior cadre got the letter, he was a little bit in trouble.

Gao Gan is very talented, but he is good at defense but not good at offense.

He also has a very clear understanding of himself.

A high-ranking official in history, after taking charge of Bingzhou, guarded its land for seven years. When Cao Cao pacified the four prefectures, the high-ranking officer successfully resisted Cao Jun's general Le Jin, defended Huguan alone, and fought against Cao Cao's army for eight months. , saying that he is the number one city defender in Hebei, and he deserves it.

But when it comes to offense, he is far behind, which also depends on his character.

Gao Gan was thinking right now, it would not be impossible to test the pottery, but if he fell for the pottery trick, would it be a big deal?

Gao Gan frowned and sighed.

His cousin Gao Rou came to Qidi with Gao Gan this time. When Gao Rou first returned to Yuan Shao, he also persuaded the talented generals from all directions to join Gao Gan, expanding the team of Gao Gan.

"Brother, why are you so frowning?"

Gao Gan said: "The general asked me to send troops to test Kaiyang City, to see if the potters are bluffing, and left Kaiyang."

After Gao Rou heard this, she said: "Brother, this is not a bad thing. After this, the generals of Bingzhou have not achieved an inch of merit, and they are anxious. According to my brother's view, let the generals go to fight against Tao Jun now." , even if the potter himself is there, he may not lose."

Chapter 5 and Eight

Although Gao Rou's advice to Gao Gan is very reasonable, it is a pity that Gao Gan is naturally slow and careful.

He is genuinely afraid of accidents.

The high-ranking officials finally decided to convene a military court meeting, and let the generals under his command gather together to discuss this matter.

After he explained the matter to the generals under him, he saw the Bingzhou generals present, and immediately exploded.

These generals have really been suffocated recently.

Yuan Shao combined the strength of the four prefectures to go south, and the soldiers in other places were fighting the enemy bravely and making great achievements in conquering cities and territories.

However, since the soldiers and horses on our side reached Qidi and Zhao Yun beheaded the two military lords, they have been huddled at home and have not moved a step.

Those who didn't know thought they were frightened by Zhao Yun.

I know, I understand that the main reason is that their chief general is a hob, and he can't fart with three sticks.

Now that there is an order to dispatch troops written by the general, the generals of Bingzhou are very happy.

"Your Majesty, the last general asks for orders to fight!"

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to be a pioneer!"

"Your Majesty, let the last general go!"

"Your Majesty, the general is willing"

"Okay, okay!" Gao Gan shook his hands dissatisfied, and said, "Stop arguing, do you think it's a good thing for the general to order the battle?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, feeling very strange in their hearts.

Isn't that a good thing?

Most of the generals in Bingzhou are bloody and courageous, with straightforward personalities, and they don't have so much flirtatiousness. If they disagree, they will do it.

But Gao Gan is different from them. Gao Gan is a native of Henan, and his father Gao Gong is the prefect of Shu County.

In addition, Gao Gan's personality is very face-to-face, so his thinking is not on the same line as the thinking of all the generals in Bingzhou.

Seeing that the generals in Bingzhou were anxious like ants on a hot pot, Gao Gan educated him earnestly: "You are all reckless people, what do you know? Do you think this is a good thing? The surname Tao is full of tricks, but he is a member of the circle of princes. A well-known hypocrite, what a villain! Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Yuan Gonglu, and the Yellow Turban have all stumbled in his hands. To tell you the truth, it’s fine if Tao is not in Kaiyang. To whomever dies without a burial"

Although the words of the senior officials are a bit alarmist, they are really for the good of everyone.

But the generals in Bingzhou obviously don't accept this.

They couldn't be more clear about the nature of their governor of Bingzhou on weekdays.

Captain Chang Hong stood up and said: "Master Gao! No matter what, the general has ordered me to wait for the army. If we don't enter the army, it will be against the general. The general is willing to try Kaiyang for the Lord!"

Gao Gan looked Chang Hong up and down for a while, and said: "Let's forget it. You have been with me for many years. I don't want you to die. I'd better write a letter to the general and reject him."

do not!

All the generals became anxious again when they heard this.

These brave and skilled generals of their own family really suffered a lot when they met such a cautious, calm and suspicious governor.

Three sticks can't beat a fart, mother has no blood at all!

A Zhonglang general named Liu Zhi said: "The general made such an arrangement, there must be a deep meaning. During this time of war, the governor violated the military order. I may be suspicious of the general in the future. I hope the governor will think twice."
