This army was not someone else, but Gao Lan's five thousand cavalry who had just rushed to Zhao State to intercept the rebels of Tuo Yi two days ago.

Moreover, there were several sergeants in front of the army who reported the victory, and rushed straight to Quliang.

It seems that Gao Lan really won the battle.

This made Zhang He feel mixed emotions.

Two days ago, when we learned that there was a rebel army under the banner of Tuoyi in Julu County marched into Zhao State, the chief general Zhang He and deputy general Gao Lan had a disagreement on this.

The commander Zhang He advocated that the rebels were in full swing, and the army should remain unmoved. First, send fast horses to help Zhao's county soldiers strengthen their defense and guard the cities. After Tuo Yi's rebels were wiped out by the strong city of Zhao, they led their troops to Zhao and attacked the rebels inside and outside.

But Deputy General Gao Lan did not think so. In his opinion, it was because of the Que Yi rebels who had won consecutive battles and captured the city and land, and they had to send troops to follow the back to attack the Que Yi rebels who attacked Zhao State as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Que Yi's rebels were allowed to capture the city and land, they would have gained a foothold in Zhao State, then the two generals in charge of the army would do nothing and watch the serious crime of stooping the enemy.

The two generals of the army were quarreling, and for this reason they also sought the opinions of Xun Chen, Xu You, and Guo Tu, who accompanied the army to the military.

However, after Xun Chen, Xu You and Guo Tu looked at each other, they did not give any clear information on which party to support.

These people are all wise men who are good at planning. They can't see that Zhang He's current proposal of keeping his troops still is the most rational and safest.

It was even a very good plan to use the strong city and county soldiers of Zhao State to consume the Tuo Yi rebels and create fighter jets to completely wipe out the rebels for their army.

However, reason comes at a price.

Moreover, this heavy price often comes not from the enemy, but from the inside of one's own side.

No one here wants to take on this heavy responsibility.

If the troops were not moved in advance and the rebels of Tuo Yi were siegeing the cities and territories in Zhao State, although it might successfully consume the strength of the rebels and create a great opportunity for the army to annihilate the rebels.

But before that, who can bear the blame for sitting there and not saving?

The lord Yuan Shao of Yecheng was already furious for his repeated defeats in the army. If he received the emergency military report from the front army to do nothing and watched the rebels' attack on Zhao State, then all the civil and military officials who followed the army would be punished.

Seeing Xun Chen, Xu You, Guo Tu and others smiling, their words were ambiguous, and they clearly showed that they had made contributions and had a clear attitude, Zhang He's face turned black and blue in an instant.

Since a unified decision cannot be reached, in addition to sending fast horses to Yecheng, he can only volunteer Gao Lan to lead five thousand horses and go out of the city to Zhao State to restrain the siege of the Queyi rebels.

When Gao Lan left the city, Zhang He had an ominous premonition.

Perhaps Coach Yi was going west to attack Zhao State to seduce their troops out of the city to rescue him. Fortunately, the ambush was suddenly launched at the critical point and ate their Hebei army blocked in one fell swoop.

Although he had disagreements with Gao Lan on this matter, he knew Gao Lan was eager to make contributions and was unwilling to make others' thoughts. The relationship between the two was not bad on weekdays. Gao Lan, who really didn't want to send troops to rescue, was ambushed and wiped out by the entire army, which would be a huge blow to the morale of the front army.

Therefore, after Gao Lan led his army out of the city in the past two days, Zhang He became vaguely worried about Gao Lan's five thousand horse riders.

As a result, the facts in front of him told him that his worries were redundant.

Highly admired!

He led five thousand cavalry and advanced all the way. Finally, he caught up with the Tuo Yi rebels who were preparing to attack Xiangguo between the shui and the water (add three points of water). Gao Lan immediately rushed to kill the cavalry and commanded the infantry to follow him. He defeated all the mobs that were large but were wrapped up in one fell swoop, killing more than 2,000 rebel heads.

Later, with the cooperation of the Zhao State military troops, the attack on Zhao State was completely dismantled by the rebels of Tuo Yi.

Gao Lan, who had won the battle, changed his previous attitude of making contributions at this time. He stopped when he made great contributions and was not blinded by victory. He was so arrogant that he wanted to lead his five thousand troops into Julu County and capture and kill Kuo Yi.

He knew very well that this mob was not the head of Que Yi, and the dazzling achievements he made this time were actually a bit lucky.

But this did not prevent Gao Lan from returning to Quliang City with his troops with his horses. The cavalry's horse's necks were hung with the captured rebel heads. The current infantry carrying the traps on the shoulders of the road were also captured, and it looked like a victorious general returning to the army to offer prisoners.

Gao Lan returned to the army with victorious victory and entered the barracks outside the city with great might. Gao Lan himself then personally brought a group of personal soldiers and flags to Quliang City.

This is the first great victory for the Yuan army in Hebei to encircle and suppress the rebels since the rebels.

Whether it was the lieutenant general, Guo Tu, Xu You and others who followed the army to join the military, they all accompanied them with smiles and happily welcomed Gao Lan who entered the city.

The war before was filled with sorrow, and now it is rare to see the moon. Who in the army wants to take the opportunity to gain some credit?

When he looked up at the horse, he was almost surrounded by a crowd and entered the official temple. He held his head up and his chest high, striding and talking high. He humbly carried the praises of many civil and military officials among the crowd, while showing his great achievements without any trace.

"Qu Yi used his troops to be cunning, and his old soldiers were cruel and bloodthirsty. In addition, the rebels won consecutive battles and were very arrogant. However, the arrogant soldiers would be defeated. Lan led five thousand cavalry and was trusted by the Ming Gong. He should serve as loyalty. So he did not avoid arrows and stones and pursued them all the way. Finally, he caught up with more than ten thousand Quyi's rebels who gathered together to attack Xiangguo."

"If you don't join the Zhao State County Army and compete for the first place to fight for the first place, you will finally defeat the rebels of Queyi and chase the north. Alas. If it weren't for the subsequent Zhao State County soldiers joining after the war and fighting for the head, I'm afraid that this victory would have been given a lot."

After returning to the army with a red face, Gao Lan Desheng suddenly realized that he had become much more talkative for a while. He easily described a victory vividly and with the ignorant spirit. With the winning heads, his words were more convincing and his entire back was straighter.

Zhang He, who rushed back to Guansi from the city wall in advance, had to go out and lower the ranks at this time and personally welcomed Deputy General Gao Lan into the lobby of Guansi.

Once the two met, they were like friends who had not seen each other for many days. They laughed and stepped forward and patted each other on their shoulders, never mentioning the previous disagreement of troops, and then walked into the lobby with their arms.

After everyone took their seats, there were naturally a number of greetings and praises for Gao Lan's extraordinary courage.

When the topic gradually brought into serious business, Zhang He, who had been catering to everyone's emotions, suddenly had his eyes soared. He looked at Gao Lan, who was blushing and asked word by word:

"Grandmaster Lang, are the rebels you defeated in Zhao State the main force of the rebels? Is Kuo Yi among the rebels?"

Zhang He's cold question calmed down the entire lobby. Xun Chen lowered his eyelids, Xu You and Guo Tu looked at each other, and the others were also careful and did not dare to speak casually anymore.

Gao Lan pursed his thick lips and looked at Zhang He. It was not until he realized that a drop of sweat began to slide down his forehead that he finally looked away and said:

"General Zhang Zhonglang, at that time, Que Yi was not among the rebels attacking Zhao State."

really!

Xun Chen's eyelids moved, Guo Tu and Xu You looked at each other again, and Zhang He sighed and continued to ask:

"Then you captured the rebel prisoners, have you ever found out where Tuo Yi himself is, and where is his real intention to use troops?"

This seemed to be under Gao Lan's expectation, and he said with preparation:

"According to the confession of the prisoner, Quyi's rebels seized the southern border of Julu County. After the momentum rose sharply, because our army was blocked by Quliang, the rebels could not go south to Wei County. So Quyi was preparing to fight in the hinterland of Hebei, one of which was to attack Zhao State, and through Bukou Xing, opening the road to Shangdang."

"But now the troops of Kuo Yi who led Zhao State to attack have been defeated. The only ones who can use troops should be Anping State and Qinghe State in the east."

After hearing Gao Lan's words, Zhang He remained silent. Xun Chen, who had originally lowered his eyelids, suddenly raised his head and said:

"Grandmaster General, the military newspaper had already been heard from Qinghe early this morning. The rebels of Tuo Yi who attacked Qinghe were attacked by Anping and Qinghe and were defeated and dispersed. Because this military newspaper was too bizarre and needs to be verified, the army has not yet been made public."

The county soldiers from both places alone can defeat Tuo Yi's rebels. Compared with Yuan Shang, Ju Su, Chunyu Qiong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others who failed one after another, it is indeed shocking enough.

"This, then Kuo Yi is not among the rebels who attacked Qinghe Kingdom in the east?"

Gao Lan immediately realized something was wrong after hearing Xun Chen's words. He hurriedly asked.

"No, the only one who commanded the army was the children of the Tuo family. Although they had many soldiers, they were not well-equipped and had unknown flags. They were defeated and won more when they fought with the county soldiers in the two places. As soon as they were attacked by the county soldiers in the two places, a camp roar occurred and they dispersed and fled that night."

"this--"

Gao Lan's wide eyes moved round and round, and his face also showed a little embarrassment.

When Guo Tu, Xu You and others saw Gao Lan's expression, they knew that the large rebels that Gao Lan claimed to have defeated were actually not much different from those defeated by the county soldiers of Qinghe and Anping. The other civil and military officials who had spoken out to flatter Gao Lan at the beginning also changed their faces instantly and looked at Gao Lan with their own thoughts.

Seeing this, Zhang He coughed lightly, looked at everyone in the hall and said solemnly:

"You guys, Que Yi is cunning in his military use. These two rebels seem to be suspicious soldiers. The suspicious soldiers under the rebels' old tricks must have some plans. Since we are ordered to block the enemy, we must find out the trends of Que Yi's main force as soon as possible, and must contain the rebels in Julu County."
