"What!? General Zhao Yun, do you really mean what you said?"
After some narration, Gao Lan finally figured out the reason why Zhao Yun appeared in Jizhou.
But this made him sweat like crazy.
Lu Bu! That Lu Bu from Qin State actually came to Bingzhou?
Now that Bingzhou has fallen? Only the main force of the Chu army led by General Zhao Yun is left to defend Shangdang to delay Lu Bu's army?
Moreover, the robberies he carried out in the past half month were all traps set by Xu You?
No wonder, no wonder things have gone so smoothly recently, with such a dense fleet of baggage trucks transporting supplies to Ningjin.
Previously, Gao Lan thought that the Hebei Army's Ningjin defense line was in need of supplies, so the Hebei Army frantically dispatched a baggage convoy regardless of losses.
Now, through what Zhao Yun told Gao Lan, he knew that all this was a conspiracy to destroy himself!
Fortunately, fortunately!
If I hadn't met General Zhao Yun, I might have fallen into Gao Lan's trap.
You know, after the successful plundering in the past half month, Gao Lan's vigilance is gradually lowering.
At the same time, in order to block more material support from Hebei to the Ningjin front line, the scope of activities of the Canglong Cavalry is also constantly shrinking.
Without Zhao Yun's reminder, the consequences would be... disastrous.
"General Gao Lan, the mission of our Canglong Cavalry has now been completed.
If not, let’s return to Leling Camp!”
Now, Zhao Yun's most urgent thing is to inform Xiang Ji of Lu Bu's attack. Otherwise, if the Chu army encounters Lu Bu's Xiliang cavalry without knowing it, they may really be defeated.
"General Zhao Yun, don't be in a hurry.
Gao Lan thought that since Yuan Shang asked Xu You to make a plan to make money for me.
Then why don't we take advantage of his plan and retreat after eating two of his heavy transport convoys?"
Obviously, after knowing Yuan Shang's truth and falsehood, Gao Lan was unwilling to retreat like this.
Since you want to serve as bait for me, then just eat up all your bait, and then I will retreat with my troops.
At that time, huh, I was very curious about Yuan Shang's expression after losing his wife and losing his troops.
After hearing Gao Lan's words, Zhao Yun knew that Gao Lan had already made a plan in his mind.
Although his military rank is higher than that of Gao Lan, after all, he is the commander of this Canglong Cavalry. This was ordered by Overlord Xiang Ji. Zhao Yun will naturally not do anything beyond his authority to command Gao Lan.
There is no difference between these ten days and a half, then the last supplies in Hebei will be eaten!
Presumably after Hebei has completely exhausted the food and grass supplies, he is afraid that his so-called million-strong army will not be able to support it, right?
A few days later, in Jizhou, the main hall of the royal palace in Yecheng.
"Xu Aiqing, Gao Lan has attacked our transport convoy five times this month. Can't he close the net now?"
After Gao Lan's last attack, he attacked the convoy twice more, and Yuan Shang's patience finally began to run out.
What is this Xu You doing? It’s just a high ranking, can’t it be won after taking so long?
Yuan Shang has no concept of the loss of materials, but he still has a concept of time.
Damn it, judging by time, I'm afraid Xin Ping will be back soon, right?
If when the army of Lu Bu, King of Qin, arrives, I see that the lonely king is being ravaged in the territory by a Chu army of less than 10,000 people, then I, the lonely king, will be shameless?
Obviously, this is what Yuan Shang is most concerned about.
After all, he is the king of a country and the overlord of Hebei. If someone discovers that he has been in such a mess, he will probably not be able to afford to lose himself.
"Your Majesty! It's time to close the net.
You had ordered someone to lead the army secretly to Qinghe County the day before.
Now, just wait for Gao Lan to eat the last bait, and then our army can surround it!"
After procrastinating, Xu You finally couldn't hold it on any longer.
Although the supplies Gao Lan has intercepted are not enough to cover up what he has lost, there is no other way.
Yuan Shang is obviously impatient. If it continues to be delayed, Yuan Shang will become suspicious.
As a smart person, Xu You naturally knows how to choose.
The worst thing is, in the end it just doesn’t work, Xu You, I’ll just spit out some.
Of course, this is also the worst plan. As a miser, Xu You will never spit out the delicious food in his mouth unless absolutely necessary.
"Very good, in this case, the lonely king will be waiting for a few days.
Xu Aiqing, you must remember that you must eliminate all unstable factors in our Jizhou territory before the King of Qin’s army arrives!”
Yuan Shang was fully looking forward to the arrival of Lu Bu's army to counterattack Chu, but how did he know that the envoy he sent had been ambushed by Zhao Yun in Jizhou.
At present, Lu Bu has never seen any envoys from Jizhou, so naturally there can be no talk of an alliance.
Moreover, even if he saw Yuan Shang's envoy, Lu Bu would probably open his mouth to him. How could a mere woman satisfy Lu Bu's appetite?
You must know that several months have passed since Shangdang was occupied by the Chu army. During these months, no matter what Lu Bu tried, even if he moved the trapped camp back, he could not conquer Shangdang, which was determined to defend it.
Regarding the situation at hand, Lu Bu had basically planned to give up attacking Shangdang, and instead prepared to leave Huguan to attack Jizhou.
You know, Lu Bu is going on a cross-border expedition, and his food and supplies are limited.
Now, because of Shangdang, Lu Bu's army has almost eaten up the food and grass they plundered in Bingzhou.
Originally, Lu Bu's Xiliang army stored most of their grain and grass in Shangdang City.
After all, this is the seat of Bingzhou, and its geographical location is superior to Jinyang.
But I never thought that the large amount of food, grass and baggage would eventually help the Chu army.
The tragic Yuan Shang did not know that the Qin Xiliang cavalry he was looking forward to was indeed coming soon, but not as an ally.
Just as Yuan Shang was taking action, Zhao Yun, Gao Lan and others who were lurking near Bohai County also received the news.
"General, we have received preparation information. Yuan Shang's army in Yecheng is being mobilized frequently. Now tens of thousands of troops have left the city and headed straight for Qinghe."
After receiving Xia Houlan's information, Zhao Yun knew that Yuan Shang could finally bear it and planned to close the network.
However, how did he know that the Canglong Cavalry currently active in Qinghe County was nothing more than an ambush.
The main force of Cang Longqi has now moved to Bohai County, which is closer to Leling.
"General Gao Lan, it's time for us to retreat."
Looking at Gao Lan who looked unsatisfied, Zhao Yun was afraid that this guy would eat the last bait.
Fortunately, Gao Lan was worthy of being a general, and at this critical moment, he was able to pull back from the brink in time.
"Send the order, gather the whole army, let's go back to Leling!"
