Chapter 295: Gao Lan: I'll slack off and surrender! Cao Hong: Kong Rong brings misfortune

Outnumbered.

In the encirclement, although Cao Hong fought hard, he was still no match for four hands.

In the end, he and Kong Rong both became Wu Yi's captives.

At the moment Cao Hong was captured alive.

He looked at Kong Rong resentfully.

Heavens!

If it weren't for this poison-milk Kong Rong, how could he, Cao Zilian, have ended up like this?

Meanwhile.

Pang De also led his army to the outside of Yuan Shao's camp.

Under Ju Shou's command.

The generals of the Yuan camp had already protected Yuan Shao and a group of strategists and left the camp first.

At this moment in the camp, only Gao Lan was left with a few personal guards to cover the rear.

Gao Lan held an orange-red machete, and a fierce light burst from his eyes.

Looking at the Dong Zhuo army surging toward the Yuan camp, Gao Lan roared sternly:

"Gao Jingzhi of Hejian is here!" (Gao Lan's courtesy name is Jingzhi)

"Who is the comer?"

"Pang Lingming of Nan'an!"

Pang De responded.

His weapon was also a big knife.

Looking at Gao Lan who appeared before his eyes.

A feeling of joy at seeing a hunter arose in Pang De's heart!

Gao Lan, this person was stabbed under his horse by Zhao Yun in the Romance.

But in reality, Gao Lan not only did not die at Zhao Yun's hands.

Instead, he lived until the era of Cao Pi, and was even enfeoffed as a hereditary Ting Marquis, with the title passed down until the destruction of the Wei Kingdom.

It was just that.

Because of many complex reasons.

Gao Lan was destined never to be reused by Cao Cao and Cao Pi.

Since joining Cao's camp, he never went to the front line again, but always stayed in the rear of Cao's camp holding an idle position.

It could be considered as playing the role of a mascot.

And Zhang He, who defected to Cao's camp with him, was always running around on the front line.

However.

This could not be said that Gao Lan's ability was not good.

On the contrary, his martial arts level was that of a first-rate fierce general.

Otherwise, how could he be called one of the "Four Pillars of Hebei"?

In an instant.

Gao Lan and Pang De were already fighting together.

Both were fierce generals who used knives.

Even if Pang De's martial arts were slightly better, it was difficult to distinguish the winner in a short time.

However.

The number of soldiers beside Pang De far exceeded Gao Lan's.

Soon, Gao Lan's personal guards were slaughtered.

Looking at the Dong Zhuo army all around, Gao Lan smiled slightly.

Immediately, he threw away the big machete in his hand and collapsed on the ground.

"What are you doing?"

Pang De, who was in high spirits, looked at Gao Lan with full confusion.

"Why? Is it not allowed for people to surrender?"

Gao Lan asked righteously.

That appearance looked exactly like the appearance of the Italian nation surrendering in a certain great war.

Being retorted like this, Pang De was a little stunned.

Fortunately, Zhang Liao, Yan Xing, and others had already arrived at this place soon.

After understanding the situation, Zhang Liao asked curiously:

"General Gao, since this is the case... why do you want to stay behind to cover the rear?"

Gao Lan shook his head and sighed:

"Actually, I don't want to stay either!"

"But there's no way, if I don't stay, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xun Chen, and others will definitely not let it go."

Hearing this.

Except for Zhang Liao.

Yan Xing and Pang De couldn't help but stare at each other with big eyes, their eyes full of confusion.

Being in Liangzhou, they really didn't know that Central Plains people had so many tricks!

By comparison, Zhang Liao slightly understood the meaning in Gao Lan's words.

To put it bluntly, Gao Lan was a person of the Hebei faction and was mixing with Ju Shou.

Originally, he was a general under Han Fu.

Does it sound like his experience is similar to Zhang He's?

In fact, it is completely different!

Zhang He's family could at most be considered a small powerful clan, while Gao Lan's family was the top aristocratic family in Hejian Commandery!

Looking at the entire Jizhou, it was also a big aristocratic family that could be ranked.

Right now.

Yuan Shao was physically weak, and Ju Shou was in charge of military and political affairs on his behalf.

But this was bound to make some compromises.

Otherwise, if the Hebei faction took all the power, what would our Henan faction play with?

Therefore, the general left behind to cover the rear must be a person of the Hebei faction!

Only in this way would the Henan faction agree to delegate power to Ju Shou.

Gao Lan was originally a great general in the army, and his ability naturally didn't need to be said.

With him staying behind to cover the rear, the Henan faction could be satisfied, and the Hebei faction also believed that he would likely be safe and sound.

However, things are unpredictable.

Changes always come faster than plans. ===== CHAPTER 296 =====
