A baggage convoy that was transporting supplies to the Ningjin defense line was stunned by the sudden killing cry.
Damn it! Why did the Chu army cavalry appear here?
Wasn't it just three days ago that the news came from the ancient city that they attacked one of our baggage convoys?
Seeing the sudden appearance of the Canglong Cavalry, the guard of the baggage convoy turned extremely pale.
Although his heart was filled with confusion as to why the Cang Longqi would appear here, the guard's questions could only be buried in his heart forever.
"General Gao, this is already the third Hebei baggage convoy in the past half month.
Come to think of it, the Hebei Army must be in urgent need of supplies in Ningjin, right?"
Gao Lan also thought the same about his subordinates' questions.
You know, not counting those large baggage convoys.
In just half a month, Cang Longqi discovered three groups of this small convoy of about a thousand people.
So, how many are still undiscovered?
Thinking about it, as long as more efforts are made to block the transportation of the Hebei Army's baggage, the Hebei Army on the Ningjin side will inevitably fall into a situation of shortage of materials and even no food.
And this is the purpose of Gao Lan leading Cang Longqi to Jizhou this time.
As long as the Ningjin defenders who can be forced are insufficiently supplied with supplies, the Chu army's chances of breaking through the Ningjin defense line will be greatly increased.
"Burn this food and grass quickly, and then tell the brothers to expand the search area and cut off the Hebei Army's baggage transportation!"
It had been more than a month since he arrived in Jizhou, and Gao Lan couldn't remember how much baggage of the Hebei Army he had intercepted.
But Gao Lan knew clearly that as long as the Hebei Army still had its baggage convoy transporting to Ningjin, he could not stop.
Nowadays, this is the only way for Chu to break Yuan Shang's Ningjin defense line.
Otherwise, I am afraid that even after a year of confrontation, there will be no result.
But what Gao Lan didn't know was that just as the Chu army expanded the search area, he was also targeted by the two forces.
Jizhou, Yecheng, the main hall of the King's Palace of Qi.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Now the traces of the Chu cavalry led by the traitor Gao Lan have been discovered.
As long as we lure them in two waves, we can completely locate their activity area!"
This Gao Lan was so incompetent that he only intercepted three transport convoys before his traces were discovered!
Xu You was very angry with Gao Lan and couldn't argue with him!
You trash thing, you should have hidden it for a while longer.
You know, you, Uncle Xu You, and I cannot hide the stolen materials with just three convoys.
In order to cover up his behavior, Xu You had no choice but to delay it as much as possible.
At the very least, by allowing you to seize two fleets of baggage trains, you can roughly cover up the materials that I have stolen from Mr. Xu You, right?
"Hahaha, Gao Lan, Gao Lan, what if you are as cunning as a fox? Didn't I catch you by the lonely king?
Xu Aiqing, very good, you did a very good job this time.
Tell me, not to mention that he intercepted the convoy twice, even if he intercepted it five or ten times, I must bring Gao Lan’s head to the lonely king!"
Yuan Shang, who lives high in the temple, naturally does not know that his great Hebei no longer has so much material for him to squander.
However, Xu You would not tell him this.
Just kidding, if Yuan Shang finds out, will I, Mr. Xu You, have a chance to continue to be greedy in the future?
We have no supplies? At worst, we can just collect them from the private sector. For example, doesn’t the Zhen family have a lot of money and food?
Just as Yuan Shang excitedly ordered Xu You to continue sending baits, Zhao Yun also learned Gao Lan's whereabouts in a private house in Wei County.
"General, it has been confirmed that General Gao Lan and his Canglong Cavalry are currently active in the Gaotang area.
According to the news from the Yecheng brothers, it seems that Yuan Shang plans to continue to lure General Gao Lan several times in order to determine his precise location."
After hearing Xia Houlan's report, Zhao Yun knew that this was the best time to join Gao Lan's troops.
As long as Zhao Yun, who knows Yuan Shang's plan, returns to the Canglong Cavalry formation, Xu You's plan will become a complete joke.
Moreover, Zhao Yun can also take this opportunity to return to the Chu army's camp to inform Xiang Ji that Lu Bu's Xiliang army has appeared in Bingzhou.
"Well done! Xia Houlan, let your brothers work hard and tell them that they must find out when the next batch of baggage teams from Hebei will set off and what the route will be."
If you want to meet up with Gao Lan, instead of looking for him, you might as well follow the baggage train in Hebei and wait for Gao Lan to find him.
Three days later, Yecheng's baggage team set off again.
"General, we have received accurate information. The route of this baggage convoy is from Yecheng, passing through Cuiqiu, Yangping, Beiqiu, and then diverted to Ningjin!"
The rangers in Hebei are quite capable.
After some inquiring, Zhao Yun finally brought him the news he needed most.
"Let's go straight to the shell mound!"
After some thought, Zhao Yun decided to go directly to Beiqiu to wait for the arrival of the Hebei baggage convoy.
You know, the place where Gao Lan, who is active in the Gaotang area, has the best chance of making a move is the shell hill in Qinghe County.
If you go forward, you will be too close to Yecheng, and the danger will be much greater.
And if he were allowed to pass through Qinghe County safely, he would be not far from Ningjin.
Zhao Yun believed that Gao Lan, a famous general in Hebei, would never make such a mistake.
Shell mound is the best place to start!
A few days later, Jizhou was near the shell mound.
"General Gao, brothers must have been watching this baggage convoy for three days. There are no troops hiding around it. Should we take action?"
Out of caution, Gao Lan did not take action immediately after discovering the Hebei baggage convoy.
After all, after so many convoys had been intercepted, Gao Lan couldn't believe that Yuan Shang didn't have any countermeasures.
You know, as long as the baggage convoy is less than 10,000 people, all of them are the targets of Canglongqi.
Then Mr. Yuan Shang can't possibly send 100,000 troops for every transport, right?
Just kidding, people are eating horses' chews along the way. If there is really a transport team of 100,000 people, the baggage they are transporting may have been eaten before they reach the destination. What else are they going to do? Starve together as reinforcements
?
Now, this baggage convoy has been tracked for three whole days without any abnormality, and Gao Lan finally decided to take action against it.
"Send the order, reorganize and assemble immediately, let's go and eat this baggage convoy!"
Following Gao Lan's order, the Canglong Cavalry warrior quickly dressed up and mounted his own war horse.
"Cang Longqi, charge!"
After a while, Gao Lan saw the baggage convoy in front of him and gave the order to charge.
