Chapter 464

"Hiss!"

Gao Lan couldn't help but gasp upon hearing this, and exclaimed: "It seems that the world has far underestimated the power of His Majesty the King of Zou Qian!"

"The final winner of this world will definitely be His Majesty the King of Zou Qian!"

"Hehe!"

Secret Guard Jia Twenty smiled slightly upon hearing this: "That is inevitable!"

"However, now is not the time to discuss this. Let's talk about how to rescue the General and take you away safely!"

"I wonder if the General hopes that I will take you away now?"

"Or are you prepared to wait until Lord Yuan Shao's army retreats and you have completed your mission before we take you away?"

Gao Lan was silent for a moment, looked up, and said frankly: "If possible, I still hope to stand the last post, which can be considered as repaying Lord Yuan Shao's kindness and making a conclusion!"

"In this way, I won't owe Lord Yuan Shao anything anymore, and I can follow you to defect to His Majesty the King of Zou Qian with peace of mind and repay his life-saving grace!"

"By the way! I wonder how His Majesty the King of Zou Qian has arranged for my family? Can my family be brought out safely?"

"Naturally!"

Jia Twenty nodded affirmatively: "The lord has arranged everything properly. Our people in Ye City are not few, and it is very simple to take your family away safely;"

"In fact, I estimate that your family has already been taken away from Ye City safely and is on the way to Jingzhou. You don't need to worry about this;"

"As for your matter, since you choose to do this, we will not stop you. Next, I and several companions will stay by your side and take you away at a critical moment!"

"Of course, I hope that when the time comes, you will listen to us completely and not hesitate, okay?"

"Then I will trouble you all!"

Gao Lan naturally had no objections and bowed to thank them.

The next night, Lord Yuan Shao led his army to retreat quietly, but left behind disguises to help Gao Lan temporarily deceive Cao Cao.

However, Lord Yuan Shao still underestimated Cao Cao.

Such a small trick was seen through by Cao Cao directly.

Therefore, Cao Cao led his army to launch a surprise attack on Lord Yuan Shao's army overnight.

Although Gao Lan tried his best to lead the army to block, because of the huge gap in strength, he only bought Lord Yuan Shao a few hours, and declared failure because his troops were almost exhausted.

However, Gao Lan himself, before being completely defeated by Cao Cao, was quietly withdrawn from the chaotic battlefield by the secret guards along with several hundred loyal personal guards.

It was fortunate that it was night, so everything went so smoothly. Otherwise, even with the help of the masters of the secret guards, it would have been impossible for Gao Lan and the others to withdraw so smoothly.

On a small hill not far from Lord Yuan Shao's camp in Guandu, Gao Lan and the others stood there looking at the situation on the battlefield in the distance. Gao Lan couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, I still overestimated myself! I couldn't even hold on for two hours!"

"Hehe! The General is demanding too much of himself! This is already very rare!"

Jia Twenty on the side smiled and shook his head: "With a gap of more than ten times the strength, and the other side having a heavenly god-general like Guan Yu participating in the battle, being able to hold on for so long is enough to demonstrate your ability, General!"

"Perhaps!"

Gao Lan smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling a bit lucky: "Fortunately, Guan Yu didn't entangle with me too much. After one penetration, he directly led the army to chase Lord Yuan Shao. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have been able to hold on for this long!"

"So, Guan Yu cannot be counted in it!"

"However, with Guan Yu in pursuit, Lord Yuan Shao is really in for a bad time this time!"

"Sigh! Blame only Lord Yuan Shao and Guo Tu for killing Liu Bei in that situation. I really don't know what they were thinking!"

"Actually, I felt that this matter was very inappropriate from the beginning!"

"If you really want to kill Liu Bei, you should at least deal with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei first!"

"I heard that Guo Tu had previously sent thousands of armored soldiers to surround and kill Zhang Fei, but the result was also a failure, and Zhang Fei's whereabouts are unknown!"

"At this moment, I don't know where he is lurking, preparing to take revenge on Lord Yuan Shao!"

Speaking of this, Gao Lan was also angry in his heart.

Lord Yuan Shao's brain was simply broken.

Guo Tu was even more of a stirrer.

More harm than good.

Yet, Lord Yuan Shao trusted him very much and listened to him very much, which was very annoying.

"I know about this!"

Jia Twenty on the side smiled and replied: "Speaking of which, Zhang Fei was able to guard against Guo Tu's surprise attack in time, thanks to our people;"

"In addition, Zhang Fei's family has also been secretly sent out of Jizhou by our people and sent to Jingzhou!"

"Eh?"

Gao Lan was stunned upon hearing this: "Is that so? You were actually involved in this matter too? This is really, your people are really everywhere!"

"I am now very curious about how many people you have planted under the various warlords in the world!"

"I fear that the warlords in the world have no secrets in your eyes, right?"

Simply terrifying.

The more he came into contact with the secret guards, the more Gao Lan felt that the other side had eyes and ears everywhere.

"Haha!"

Jia Twenty laughed loudly: "This is not the time to tell you yet. When you officially join the lord's command, you will naturally understand all of this by then!"

"I believe you won't be disappointed!"

"By the way, is the General prepared to wait for your family in this vicinity to go south to Jingzhou together?"

"Or will you take the fastest route to Jingzhou yourself first?"

Gao Lan thought for a while and said: "I'd better reunite with my family first, and then go to Jingzhou to see His Majesty the King of Zou Qian together, thank him, and swear allegiance!"

He couldn't be at ease for a day if he couldn't see his family.

"That's fine!"

Jia Twenty naturally had no objections and immediately said: "Then I will have someone take you to Chenliu first! Your family will pass through there first, and it is most appropriate to reunite there!"

"Then I will trouble you all!"

Gao Lan naturally had no objections, looking like he would leave everything to their arrangements.

Before dawn that day, Gao Lan had already been arranged by the secret guards to head toward Chenliu City.

Jia Twenty and the others naturally stayed in Guandu to pay attention to the war here.
