Yuan Shao was also surprised when he received the report from Han Xun. He immediately ordered people to conduct on-site inspections and confirmed that Han Xun's accusations were true. After discussing with Guo Tu and Ju Su, he decided to strengthen control of Qihujian and ordered Gao Lan to take over the task. He brought the captain who was originally stationed in the west of Qihujian back to the camp. He immediately beheaded and patrolled the camp to serve as a warning. At the same time, he ordered Han Xun to be rewarded, rewarding him for being in danger and keeping his position.

Seeing that Yuan Shao's words were correct, he really killed people, and the generals did not dare to be careless, and they all cheered up and were ready to fight.

After breakfast, Yuan Shao was worried that the generals would disobey orders and would not obey the orders, and the attacks of the camps would happen again. After walking around, he saw that the soldiers of each camp were working very hard and were satisfied. After seeing that the two wing positions that were about to be completed, he came to Gaolan's position again.

Gao Lan's position was quiet, and there was no tension at all, and there were not even a few people. Yuan Shao felt strange, and accompanied by Zhang He, all the way to the top of the slope. Gao Lan was already standing at the intersection to greet him. Before Yuan Shao could speak, Gao Lan said first: "Lord, when the two armies were fighting, the scouts on both sides lurked, the Jiangdong soldiers were brave, and the lord walked here lightly. If there was something to be a secret, what would the world be like?"

Yuan Shao was unhappy when he saw Gao Lan's positional defense relaxed, and he couldn't help but snorted: "Bozhan also knows the danger? Why can't I see a few soldiers along the way?"

Gao Lan blinked and understood why Yuan Shao looked bad. He smiled. "I heard that the elliptical soldiers are good at fighting for a long time. It is better to ask the lord to arrange a few elliptical soldiers, change into armor, and enter his way."

Seeing that Gao Lan was not convinced, he wanted to challenge the elliptical soldiers. Yuan Shao was even more unhappy and even felt that Ju Su recommended Gao Lan to be selfish. He asked Zhang He to arrange a few elliptical soldiers to go down the mountain first, put on the armor of ordinary soldiers, and then go up the mountain from other directions. Zhang He responded, not a big piece, and a few elliptical soldiers went down the mountain.

Gao Lan invited Yuan Shao to sit in the forest. It was noon and the weather was hot. Yuan Shao was wearing a armor and wearing a battle robe. He was patrolling for a long time. The armor was hot in the sun and sweating. At this moment, he was sitting under the shade of the trees. The southeast wind blew, and he still felt stuffy and was in a worse mood. His resentment towards Sun Ce was three times stronger. If it weren't for Sun Ce, he wouldn't have to suffer this kind of punishment in this weather. Although the scenery in front of him was good, he did not have the mood to appreciate the scenery.

He glanced at Gao Lan inadvertently, but found that although Gao Lan was wearing armor, there was not even a single bead of sweat on his face. He couldn't help but say wonderingly: "Bo Zhan, aren't you hot?"

Gao Lan smiled. "If my heart is calm, I will no longer be hot." After a pause, I said again: "I often feel like walking on thin ice when I first received the important task. I will chill from time to time, for fear of negligence and letting down my lord's trust."

Yuan Shao was skeptical, looked around and looked at Gao Lan's camp. He found that Gao Lan's camp was well deployed, which was quite consistent with military tactics. He felt a little disappointed. Gao Lan was from Gaoyi, Changshan. With Zhen Yan and others joining Yuan Shao, he entered the curtain late. Gao Lan doesn't talk much, and he doesn't show any mountains or water, so Yuan Shao didn't pay much attention to him. If Ju Su hadn't recommended Gao Lan today, he wouldn't have thought of Gao Lan.

But when I looked at it today, Gao Lan was not as ordinary as he appeared. This man had hills and valleys in his chest, so he should not be looked at him casually.

Yuan Shao was attentive and started talking to Gao Lan. He first talked about some common sense of military tactics. Gao Lan answered it smoothly. Yuan Shao then mentioned the situation in front of him, especially the war at night. Gao Lan was silent for a moment and said, "Lord, I think this may not be a bad thing."

“How to say it?”

"The two armies fight and night attacks are very common tactics, especially for Jiangdonger. Jiangdong has many mountains and few horses, cavalry is its weakness, infantry is its strength, and Danyang soldiers are its famous all over the world. There are dense forests here, and Sun Ce chose to set up a formation here to play the regular place of the Jiangdong army. Jizhou is flat, and the war is very big, and it is a daring formation, and it is head-on. It is not familiar with this kind of mountain forest battle, and it is normal to suffer a temporary setback."

Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly and urged Gao Lan to continue. He was a native of the Central Plains and lived in Luoyang for many years. The situation in Yuzhou was similar to that in Jizhou, so he himself did not realize that the terrain here had a different impact on both sides. After listening to Gao Lan's analysis, he realized that it was still not enough preparation. Sun Ce might have planned to lead him here, not for a moment. The defeat of Kuo Yi was probably due to the loss of the terrain. Xun Yan's report mentioned that it was raining heavily that day. The heavy rain would not only affect the impact of the cavalry, but also affect the effectiveness of the crossbow. When Kuo Yi was finally killed by Sun Ce, it is very likely that there was a reason why the crossbow could not be shot after being wet by the rain.

Gao Lan continued to say that although Dong Xi's sneak attack on Han Xun's position achieved some results, it could not determine the entire situation of the battle. Instead, it reminded them to be careful. If Dong Xi did not move and suddenly came when the two sides were in a stalemate, the effect would definitely be much better than now. From this perspective, this may not be a good thing.

Yuan Shao woke up in his dream. At this time, a commotion broke out in the mountains and forests. After a while, two soldiers rushed up with a serpentine. The serpentine was very embarrassed, with grass chips on his head, mud on his body, and a piece of blue eyes. It seemed that he had been punched by someone. Zhang He stepped forward to ask, and the serpentine said very depressedly that he specially picked a hidden path and took a lot of effort to climb up. He was so tired that he was breathing. As a result, he was knocked down before he could stand firm. If he hadn't claimed his identity in time, he might have been killed directly.

Zhang He asked, "Did you see clearly where they are hiding?"

The elliptical soldiers shook their heads and were very depressed. They were the elite troops of the Zhang family in Hejian and Yuan Shao’s personal guard camp. They were usually very relaxed to deal with two or three people, but today they were directly defeated by Gao Lan’s subordinates and they didn’t even have the power to fight back. This was really embarrassing.

Yuan Shao suddenly realized in his heart. He roughly guessed what Gao Lan did. Gao Lan was not slack, he just looked slack. If he changed his clothes or went to Gao Lan's subordinates who did not know him, he would not be able to walk in front of Gao Lan at all.

After a while, several other elliptical soldiers were brought over one after another. The situation was similar. They were all suddenly attacked by Gao Lan's subordinates lurking in the mountains. They were cavalrymen, so they were not adapted to walking this mountain road, and they had no time to react in a hurry. They could only perform 20 to 30% of the 100% of their martial arts.

Yuan Shao was very satisfied. "Bozhan, with you dealing with Dong Xi, I can sleep peacefully."

Gao Lan quickly returned the greeting and said a few humility. Yuan Shao stood up with satisfaction and went down the mountain. When he returned to the camp, he called Guo Tu and told Gao Lan about his situation, complaining about why Guo Tu didn't recommend Gao Lan to him earlier, and had to wait for Ju Su to speak. Guo Tu was speechless, but he couldn't say it clearly. Yuan Shao was a little excited and decided to reward Gao Lan to inspire morale. When Guo Tu heard this, he quickly opposed it.

Yuan Shao was very puzzled. "Punze, do you have any misunderstandings with Bo Zhan?"

Guo Tu smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly. "Lord, Bo Zhan is from northern Jilin. The one who was killed in the morning was from southern Jilin. Han Xun is from Yingchuan. This matter is very sensitive to handling and is easy to cause misunderstandings. It is better to slow down."
