Chapter 740: Grace and Righteousness
The book is followed last time.
Gao Lan on the city wall looked as if Yuan Shao had someone dragged the messenger down, and his face was full of shock.
Gao Lan didn't expect that Yuan Shao still had the heart to punish his subordinates now, and he didn't know what to say.
Gao Lan was stunned, Yuan Shao was not stunned. After the messenger was dragged down, Yuan Shao raised his head and shouted loudly at Gao Lan on the city wall, "Gao Lan! I asked myself why you are so kind to you, why are you convicted of being orphan?!"
"..." Gao Lan did not defend himself after hearing Yuan Shao's words. After hesitating for a while, he shook his head and replied loudly, "At present, you and me have become a hostile relationship, so there is no need to say so much more.
If you want to retake Yecheng, then attack the city!"
Before going up the city wall, Gao Lan had a lot of words in his mind to say to Yuan Shao, and he thought of many reasons to explain his rebellion.
But when he climbed the city wall and saw Yuan Shao, Gao Lan suddenly couldn't say anything.
Because he knew that no matter how he explained, Yuan Shao would not be relieved.
Moreover, since he had chosen to betray, there was no need for him to relieve Yuan Shao.
Since it is already a hostile relationship, there is nothing to say, let’s fight!
"!!!" After Yuan Shao heard Gao Lan's words, he was so angry that he panted heavily, but he couldn't say a word.
If it weren't for his disadvantage, he would have sent a large army to attack immediately!
But the army he has waved now is only tens of thousands of people, and he is no match for Gao Lan's army at all.
What's more, Gao Lan now occupies a favorable terrain in Yecheng. Without a large army several times that of Gao Lan, Yuan Shao really dared not attack, so he could only endure this tone.
Looking at Yuan Shao, who was speechless after being blocked by his words, Gao Lan felt a little bored.
In the past, he respected Yuan Shao very much, and could almost be said to have regarded Yuan Shao as a god!
But today, he suddenly realized that Yuan Shao was just like this. He was just a little stronger than him, so he didn't even dare to say anything. His timid behavior was really disappointing!
Gao Lan, who was already disappointed, had no intention of talking to Yuan Shao. He looked at Yuan Shao in a dilemma and said loudly, "Yuan Shao, your army is only tens of thousands of people, and you are not a match for a certain family. A certain family advises you to retreat quickly.
Because of the past relationship, a certain family will not pursue you."
"!!!" Yuan Shao's face turned red, blue veins bulged on his forehead, and almost burst out of his eyes.
But he knew that Gao Lan was right, and he had a total of about 300,000 troops under his command.
Among these 300,000 troops, more than 200,000 were taken by Gao Lan to pursue Lu Bu.
Then, Ju Su lost 30,000 cavalry and Tian Feng lost another 10,000.
There are less than 30,000 people left under Yuan Shao's command.
However, Gao Lan had an elite army of more than 70,000, so Yuan Shao really didn't dare to attack.
Of course, it does not mean that Yuan Shao really has no army.
But his army was either stripped naked or disarmed, or too far away from here, which would be of no use at all.
This is the most embarrassing moment after Yuan Shao became a prince!
Gao Lan looked at Yuan Shao who was full of anger but dared not speak at all under the city. After shook his head bored, he waved his hand weakly and said, "Forget it, someone is teasing you if he has no heart.
You are at a disadvantage now, so you should retreat quickly. Due to the past relationship, a certain family will never pursue you, but from today on, you will be cut off with one knife!”
After saying that, Gao Lan ignored Yuan Shao and turned around and walked down the city.
Now Gao Lan only feels that his feet are in a state of ease and he is extremely relaxed. He was hesitating and embarrassed to see Yuan Shao, but after seeing Yuan Shao, he suddenly felt that his hesitation and embarrassment was a bit ridiculous, because a person like Yuan Shao is indeed not worth his service!
He believed that if Li Zhi had been here, he would have attacked the city without hesitation!
Because Li Zhi always fights less with more, even if he is at a disadvantage, he will find ways to make up for the gap.
However, Yuan Shao still dared not attack with nearly 30,000 elite troops under his command, which really makes people look down upon!
These armies are all elite troops selected from one in a hundred, and even if they face more than 70,000 troops from Gao Lan, they will never be at a disadvantage!
However, Yuan Shao was reluctant to attack for his own life, which shows that Yuan Shao's courage is far worse than Li Zhi, so he was a little grateful for his choice.
"……!!!" Yuan Shao saw that Gao Lan turned his head and left after saying that, as if he had not taken him into his eyes, and immediately looked at the city wall with anger!
Then he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and tried to attack directly several times.
But he didn't dare. He knew that there were at least 70,000 or 80,000 troops in the city. If he urged his troops to attack, if he annoyed Gao Lan, he might not be able to save his life.
Therefore, although he was very angry, he didn't dare to say a word on his lips!
Just when Yuan Shao dared not speak out, a guard hurriedly walked over and bowed to Yuan Shao and said, "Report to the lord, we have beheaded the messenger. May I ask, did you bury him with great burial?"
The reason why the guards asked this was because in the past, in order to show his magnanimity, even those who were beheaded by him would have buried them with great care.
Anyway, it doesn’t cost much money to bury a person, and he can win the heart. Isn’t it great to kill two birds with one stone?
However, this life is different from the past. Now Yuan Shao is very angry and is about to vent his anger when he suddenly heard the words of the guard.
He immediately put all his sins on the beheaded messenger.
"What's the grand funeral?! That idiot is also worthy of a grand funeral?! If it weren't for him, even a mere thief would have dared to look down on me!
He was torn to pieces, then threw the corpse in the wilderness, and let the beasts devour him, so he could die without a place to bury him!"
"This..." was stunned for a moment after hearing Yuan Shao's words, and a hint of unbearableness appeared on his face. In this year of believing in ghosts and gods, if the future generations are born, it proves that there is still a chance to have the next life and be incense from future generations. However, once there is no teacher or student, it is equivalent to becoming a lonely ghost, and no one believes in the loneliness of eternal life and eternal life.
This punishment is more serious than being expelled from the family! At most, it is a loss of reputation. After death, there may be a chance to return to the ancestral tomb.
But I was eaten by wild beasts by the corpse after being broken into pieces, so I really couldn't even leave anything!
After hearing the consequences of the messenger, the guards felt very unbearable.
Although the guards have nothing to do with the messenger, there is a saying that goes - the rabbit dies and the fox is sad.
Seeing the current outcome of the messenger, the guards were also a little chilled.
So, after hesitating for a while, he raised his head and looked carefully at Yuan Shao with a blank expression, and said, "Lord, is this punishment too severe? The messenger is dead, so let's bury him with great burial?"
"Huh?" After hearing the guard's words, Yuan Shao turned his head, looked at him expressionlessly, and asked calmly, "What's your relationship with that traitor?"
After hearing this, the guard was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head and said, "I have nothing to do with that person."
But my subordinates think that the lord is a generous person and there is no need to ruin his reputation for that kind of little person, so he has this suggestion."
The guards also knew that Yuan Shao must be very angry now, so they flattered without a trace when they were talking.
If it were in the past, Yuan Shao would have been very happy after hearing these words.
But now...
The more he looked at the guard, the more disliked him, because the guard's flattery made him think of the messenger he had killed.
The guard's roundabout way of persuasion reminded him of Gao Lan and Ju Su in the past.
Now, in Yuan Shao's eyes, this guard is a combination of Gao Lan, Ju Su and the commemorative army. How could he not hate it?
Yuan Shao is now sensitive, so he suddenly found that he was so disgusted that he no longer had the superficial magnanimity he used to be. He waved to the soldiers beside him, pointed to the things in front of him expressionlessly and said, "..."
