Hanoi County, Huai County.

The high-ranking official was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. His side suffered heavy losses in the previous battle and his morale was extremely declining. If the enemy took advantage of the situation to launch an attack, it would be really difficult for him to resist. Fortunately, he used a trick of suspicion in his arms in a hurry and successfully deceived Xun You. Until now, Xun You did not dare to send troops to attack the city, which made him feel a little relieved. On the one hand, he ordered the entire army to be on guard, and on the other hand, he was waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

"I don't know who my uncle will send this time? If he is a poor general, it may be difficult to resist the powerful generals under Xun You. If he sends any of Yan Liang and Wen Chou over, he will be able to defeat the enemy generals. But in this way, I have to give up the position of commander to them. This is really unwilling to accept that Que Yi's ability and status are not as high as me. However, this old boy has always regarded himself very highly and does not take anyone except his uncle seriously. Even the three young masters disdained him and looked down on Yan Liang and Wen Chou, let alone me? If he had come, I would probably not have a good life. Chunyu Qiong is a drunkard, and he is old and has difficulty in communicating him. It is not good to send him here. In fact, among the generals under my uncle, the most suitable one should be Zhang He and Gao Lan. They have the ability, have low status, and are reasonable in character. I have long thought of letting them come, but my uncle is very suspicious, and I can't say it clearly, otherwise he would have doubted what kind of friendship I had with Zhang He and Gao Lan in private, so he rejected my request..."

The high-ranking official's heart is now mixed. He is very much looking forward to Yuan Shao sending Zhang He Gaolan to come, but he doesn't know what the result is, so he can only wait anxiously.

Fortunately, Zhang He and Gao Lan marched very fast and arrived outside Huai County in just two days.

At this time, the senior officials were employed, so they naturally had to put down their airs and go out to the city to greet them in person.

When he saw that it was Zhang He and Gao Lan coming, he was overjoyed and said in secret: "My uncle did not disappoint me. He really sent Zhang He and Gao Lan. I believe that with their cooperation, I will definitely defeat Xun You in this battle and seize the entire Hanoi. In this way, I will not only fail, but also make contributions. As for the brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, they naturally became scapegoats. I will say that they did not listen to the control and acted recklessly, which resulted in our army being defeated. Anyway, they were all dead, and it would be nothing to bear any more charges."

Gao Gan stepped forward with a spring breeze and grabbed Zhang He and Gao Lan's arms, and said with a smile: "Jun Yi, Ziyou (the author of Gao Lan's words is created by himself, so don't take it seriously). You are so good. To be honest, I am looking forward to you two coming to help me fight. As long as you are here, we will definitely be able to defeat Xun You and seize the entire Hanoi."

"Haha, that's right, I'll forget it. As long as Brother Zhang takes action, it's absolutely no problem to seize the Yewang City." Gao Lan laughed wildly and said with a confident look on his face.

However, Zhang He shouted, "Ziyou, what crazy things are you saying? Have you forgotten why I told you on the road?"

Then Zhang He bowed to the high gang and said, "Premier Zhang, how dare you ask, did Xun You take the initiative to attack in the past two days?"

"Hehe, you may not believe Junyi. Xun You has not launched an attack these days. In my opinion, this must be because you are afraid of your reputation, so you dare not launch an attack."

However, Zhang He did not follow his words, but thought silently, and then said: "It seems that Xun You has no intention to attack us. His main countermeasure is to adopt a defensive position. If this is true, we actually don't need to launch an attack rashly. General Gao, as far as the last general is concerned, we might as well adopt a defensive position. Xun You's troops are insufficient, and we have an alliance, so he is expected to dare not launch an attack rashly..."

But before Zhang He finished speaking, he was interrupted by the high-ranking officials and said, "Jun Yi's words are wrong. The lord gave Hanoi to me just to occupy the entire Hanoi county. Now Xun You has few soldiers, which is a good opportunity for us to attack. We now have so many troops and a powerful general like you. How can we just be satisfied with defense? If it's defense, why should you use me?"

Zhang He was silent when he heard this, and sneered in his heart: "Even if you use defense, you are not qualified. I originally thought that after the previous defeat, you had changed. Now it seems that I am deeply worried about the situation in Hanoi."

Because Zhang He's suggestions did not meet the intentions of the high-ranking officials, the meeting between the two sides was not pleasant. At the end, the high-ranking officials said something, asking Zhang He and Gao Lan to prepare for the attack on the Ye Wang.

Zhang He smiled bitterly when he heard this. He really didn't expect that this high-ranking official would be so stupid. It was obvious that Xun You used his defensiveness to consume his own strength. He could not see such a clear intention. He was still emphasizing the attack. The final result can be imagined.

But Zhang He had to accept the order. He ordered his soldiers to prepare for the attack on the city, but he had no hope for the war.

However, the high-ranking officials did not think so. He had great hope and confidence in this matter. Although Zhang He and Gao Lan had low positions, they were always brave and powerful. Their reputation was only under Yan Liang and Wen Chou. If they were the generals to participate in the battle, they would definitely be able to forcibly crush the enemy generals by force and avenge the last revenge.

At the banquet that night, the senior officials announced in a high-profile manner that they would lead the army to launch another attack on Yewangcheng early the next morning, hoping that the soldiers of the three armies could unite and conquer Yewangcheng in one fell swoop. If they win this battle, they would definitely reward them very much. If they dare to violate the order and attack without active attack, they would be dealt with by military law and would never be forgiven.

After hearing the news, Gao Lan was so itchy that he said with a urge to say, "My spear is already hungry and thirsty. Brother Junyi, this is a good time for us to show our strength, to make contributions and become famous in future generations, and this will be the first to do so."

But Zhang He said worriedly: "Brother, when fighting, you must be Wei Lusheng and lose first. This battle is not as simple as you imagined. Although your personal courage has a certain impact on the outcome of the war, it does not have a decisive impact. The operation and dispatch of the commander in the army is the key, so I advise you not to be so happy first. You must remember that if you lose the battle, it is not the time when you are reckless and willful and heroic, you must escape."
