Chapter 145: Yecheng join forces and persuade Gao Lan

After fighting all night, Ran Min and Zhang Liao were covered in blood, but they were in good spirits.

In this battle, they were able to take Dangyin City and completely dismantle Yuan Shao's troops in the southwest of Jizhou.

Then they will be able to go all the way north and directly kill Yecheng!

Although they knew that Yuan Shao of Ye City had already left, Ye City was Yuan Shao's old lair. As long as they captured Ye City, they would have the upper hand in a strategic sense.

"Hahaha, General Zhang Liao, tonight you killed two enemy generals in a row, but this general heard about it!"

"After this battle, the king will definitely reward you!" Ran Min smiled at Zhang Liao while waiting for Zhang Liang to enter the city.

Hearing this, Zhang Liao shook his head and said humbly: "General Ran Min not only killed Yan Liang, but also killed Guo Tu in this battle, which should be the first credit!"

While speaking, Zhang Liang entered the city with his troops and horses, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "It seems that the two generals are very satisfied with the outcome of this battle, I wonder if they have already counted the battle damage?

This battle lasted for more than two hours, almost five hours, and it was impossible for them to have no losses. This was what Zhang Liang was most concerned about.

Zhang Liao nodded solemnly and said, "In this battle, I lost more than 1,500 cavalry and about 1,200 infantry."

"The 30,000 Yuan army, 8,000 died in battle, surrendered about 12,000, and all the remaining 06 fled.

After all, it was a night battle, and many Yuan Jun ran away after discovering that something was wrong, and they were too late to catch them.

The reason why the cavalry lost more was because Zhang Liao charged with the cavalry at the beginning, and was killed by sharp arrows.

Zhang Liang nodded in satisfaction when he heard the battle damage: "It's not bad, a little less than I expected."

"It was thanks to two generals that this battle was won. 35

"However, the next time our army is going to Yecheng, I suggest taking a day off before marching."

After fighting for so long, the soldiers and horses were tired, Zhang Liang also knew that there was Zhao Yun in Yecheng, and they would be fine even if they passed by a day later.

"If that's the case, then the aftermath and peace of mind will be left to Mr. Zifang. By the way, when our army goes to Yecheng, do we need to leave some troops here?"

Ran Min agreed to Zhang Liang's proposal, but asked another question.

After all, Dangyin City was a large city to the southeast of Ye City, so it was impossible for them not to send troops to garrison here.

"I've already thought about this matter. Let the Colonel Wang Fang lead 2,000 troops here." Zhang Liang made a countermeasure.

"If that's the case, then the general will be relieved!" Ran Min laughed, and then brought his troops and horses to settle down.

After a day of rest, they set off for Yecheng on the third day.

Dangyin City was not very far from Ye City, and a mighty army of more than 25,000 troops took two days to reach the south of Ye City.

At this moment, the joint operation was dozens of miles south of Yecheng City, and there were tents everywhere.

With the arrival of Ran Min's army, the three soldiers and horses under Wei Zhongdao finally gathered in Yecheng.

Immediately, flags were fluttering outside the entire Ye City, and war horses were flying.

After Ran Min, Zhang Liao and Zhang Liang led the army into the camp, they first entered Wei Zhongdao's tent.

"The last general (minister) sees the king!" The three of Ran Min saluted Wei Zhongdao at the same time.

"Three free gifts!" Wei Zhongdao smiled slightly and made the three of them stand up and talk.

"This king has already heard about the battle of Sangyin City. You won this battle with a loss of less than 3,000 people, which is beyond what this king expected!"5

The battle of Dangyin City was played beautifully, it can be said to be a classic battle of magic tricks, even Wei Zhongdao was amazed.

Ran Min smiled when he heard the words: "This battle is really a loss of Mr. Ozifang's plan, otherwise our army will not know when to take Dangyin City."

"However, who is this next to the king?"

Ran Min didn't know Li Xiuning's identity at the moment. Seeing that the other party had been standing beside Wei Zhongdao, he asked curiously.

Wei Zhongdao smiled indifferently: "This is the princess that this king is about to marry, don't underestimate her, the women's army under her command is also very powerful.

"Xiu Ning, this is General Ran Min, this is Mr. Zifang, this is General Wen Yuan, they are all right-hand men of this king!

"I've met two generals and Mr. Oufang." Li Xiuning saluted the three of them as acquaintances.

When Ran Min and the others heard Li Xiuning's identity, they hurriedly saluted: "I have seen the princess!

At first, Ran Min was just curious and wanted to ask. He didn't expect Li Xiuning to be Wei Zhongdao's woman, and was taken aback.

Wei Zhongdao couldn't help laughing when he saw Ran Min's nervous expression: "Okay, don't be nervous, even if you don't ask, this king will introduce Xiuning to you.

"From now on, Xiu Ning will follow this king to deal with matters in the army, so you must get to know each other first. 39

"However, you came at the right time, today is the deadline for this king to give the enemy general Gao Lan!

"If he doesn't agree, this king will forcefully attack the city. With a mere 3,000 troops in the city, if he can't stop it within an hour, the city will be destroyed!

Hearing this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "It seems that the king wants General Zhang He to persuade Gao Lan, but that Gao Lan can be left behind by Yuan Shao to guard Ye City, so he won't give in so easily, right?

Only at this moment did Zhang Liang understand why Wei Zhongdao didn't order Yecheng to storm Yecheng, because he wanted to subdue Gao Lan.

Wei Zhongdao nodded when he heard the words, then stood up and said, "Then Gao Lan did not agree, so this king gave him a three-day deadline."5

"Today is the last day, if I don't promise that this king will not only attack the city, but also kill the three thousand soldiers and horses under his command!

240 "This king asked Zhang He to persuade him. With the friendship between the two of them, it might be possible."

"If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people in Yecheng, and he was worried that many people would be hurt by mistake, this king would not have used such a method. 55

Yecheng is a big city, and it is the seat of Jizhou. The people in the city are several times that of other cities.

If there is a real war, it will not only destroy the city walls of Ye City, but also bring disaster to the people in the city.

From Wei Zhongdao's point of view, he had already surrounded the place anyway, and Gao Lan had no way to escape.

If Gao Lan could surrender, Wei Zhongdao would also save the loss of the siege, and at the same time he would have a good reputation for loving the people like a son.

If you want to achieve great things, people's hearts are essential!

His nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses besieged Gao Lan's 3,000 people.

But he gave Gao Lan three days to think about it. If the other party didn't surrender and he attacked again, the others would have nothing to say.

While Wei Zhongdao and Zhang Liang were talking, a soldier hurried to report:

"Reporting to the king, the enemy general in the city, Gao Lan, took his troops and horses out of the city and surrendered!""

Wei Zhongdao laughed when he heard this: "I knew Gao Lan would definitely make a choice!""

"Go, everyone follows this king into the city! 35

Once Ye Cheng is taken, he can sign in again!

In such a big city, there will be no shortage of rewards!
