They are both demoted generals, but their treatment is very different.
Through hard work, some demoted generals can gradually emerge and enter the sight of senior officials.
Just like Zhang He.
At least when Cao Cao needed a strong general, the first impression that came to his mind was Zhang He.
Although Zhang He felt unsatisfied, the attention and treatment he received were not as good as those during Yuan Shao's period.
However, it is only for Zhang He personally.
Just like Gao Lan who surrendered with Zhang He.
If Zhang He was unhappy, then Gao Lan simply couldn't live.
Compared with Zhang He, Gao Lan's life was not ordinary.
The most marginal position of General Bi is Gao Lan's official position from the beginning of his return to the present.
As for the title of Marquis? Don’t even think about it!
Even Zhang He was just a Marquis of Guan Nei.
If this expedition wasn't too urgent, Cao Cao still couldn't remember Gao Lan.
Therefore, Gao Lan had to thank Liu Zhang, otherwise he would not know where to cool off.
Once upon a time, how beautiful were the four courtyard pillars in Hebei?
The whole of Hebei admires it!
But now, it's really like a tiger being bullied by a dog, and his life is worse than that of a pig or a dog!
Years of depression have almost worn away Gao Lan's spirit.
Many times I have thought, otherwise I will just forget it for the rest of my life!
There was no hope, no hope.
But fate is like this. In desperate situations, you will always be given some opportunities.
This time I was named by Cao Cao to follow him on the expedition, that's it!
If a military general wants to become a general and become a marquis, he has no choice but to kill the enemy in battle, except for his personal background.
Stay at the back and never get ahead!
Gao Lan was ecstatic, thinking that he could finally regain his former glory.
But after actually following the battle, the naked reality slapped him hard.
After years of depression, Gao Lan lost his enthusiasm for war.
Fighting on the battlefield is already very unfamiliar to him.
The first time he went into battle to kill the enemy, he did not have any outstanding achievements. Instead, he was almost injured by an ordinary Huainan Army soldier.
There wasn't much wisdom left, but nothing was left.
The colleagues around him looked down upon the general, and even pointed fingers at Gao Lan.
Since then, Gao Lan has become less courageous.
In the face of a duel, he began to become timid, and he did not dare to speak out in a duel before the battle.
Where is the majesty of the Four Court Pillars of Hebei?
It continues to this day, fighting with Zhou Yu in front of the battle.
How Gao Lan wished he could step forward bravely and kill everyone in a hearty manner!
Let no one dare to underestimate themselves anymore.
Let everyone understand that the Four Court Pillars of Hebei are by no means an easy task!
But the excitement in my heart could not be reflected back to my body at all.
When Zhou Yu's young generals called for formation, Gao Lan didn't even have the courage to fight.
Gao Lan hated himself, hated himself for being weak and incompetent, and a waste!
After scolding together, Gao Lan finally summoned up the courage to step forward.
But Zhang He had already taken the lead and rode out.
The result was almost exactly as Gao Lan imagined.
The Four Court Pillars of Hebei massacred everyone, and their reputation once again shocked the world!
Unfortunately, it is not him who is one of the Four Court Pillars of Hebei, but his former friend Zhang He.
At this moment, Gao Lan was jealous.
How much he wished he was Zhang He, how much he wished he was the one who killed the enemy general?
Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.
The last thing in the world is a regret medicine.
Gao Lan's hesitation contributed to Zhang He's power.
Just when Gao Lan fell into despair again, Cao Cao's words once again pulled him back from the abyss.
General, county lord!
Isn't this a reward that Gao Lan couldn't even imagine before?
Yes, no general can resist this temptation.
This is simply the pinnacle of military commanders and the goal that every military commander must strive for victory.
Now all you need to do is kill Liu Zhang and you will have it at your fingertips!
The army is about to engage in a melee, and when it comes to chaos, there is definitely no chance at all!
But for this moment of hesitation, Gao Lan took another step slower.
All the generals rushed forward, but Gao Lan remained stunned.
Especially Zhang He, who rushed the most fiercely and was the most forward!
This attitude of looking back at death deeply hurt Gao Lan.
Both were from Hebei, both served under Yuan Shao's command, both were surrendered generals, and were the four pillars of Hebei. Why were they so different from Zhang He?
A sudden burst of bloody courage instantly overshadowed the previous fear.
Gao Lan galloped on his horse and began to move towards the front of the formation with his sword raised.
At this moment, Gao Lan regained his former self.
At this time, Zhang He and Dian Wei fought against each other.
As the third-ranked general Dian Wei on the Heavenly Ranking, Gao Lan has long known his reputation.
He had already concluded in his heart that Zhang He was definitely no match for him.
Without any hesitation, Gao Lan frantically urged his horses to rush towards Zhang He.
He wanted to seize the food from the tiger's mouth and rescue Zhang He from Dian Wei's halberd!
Zhang He has already made great achievements, and he can achieve great success without dying.
The two were good friends in the past. If they are bound by the grace of saving lives again, Gao Lan's future will be limitless!
At the same time, Gao Lan also has his own pride in his heart.
What can Dian Wei do? What can the generals on the Tianbang list do?
No matter how strong it is, can it be stronger than two of Hebei's Four Court Pillars joining forces?
If he could join hands with Zhang He to kill Dian Wei, wouldn't he have the opportunity to become famous?
If you want to kill Liu Zhang, kill Dian Wei first!
If Dian Wei is killed, the morale of the Qin army will inevitably plummet!
When the time comes, we will join hands with Zhang He and move forward bravely and will be even more unstoppable.
Wouldn't it be possible if Liu Zhang could be killed? . .
Thinking of this, Gao Lan could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and rushed towards Zhang He desperately.
If Zhang He can live up to his expectations and get into a stalemate with Dian Wei.
Gao Lan can also find opportunities to sneak attack Dian Wei and kill him with one blow.
It's a pity that Zhang He didn't live up to his expectations. He was defeated by Dian Wei in one battle and was in danger of being killed.
Gao Lan didn't panic too much, everything was within his expectation.
If Zhang He could compete with Dian Wei, he wouldn't be ranked second in the ranking.
It would be better to be killed instantly by Dian Wei!
Saving him in this way will be more valuable and the heart of gratitude will be even greater!
Gao Lan seized the opportunity, charged out from the flank, and successfully knocked away Dian Wei's big halberd with a single stroke of his sword.
This sword also boosted Gao Lan's confidence!
What could Dian Wei do? Wasn't he still unable to block his full-strength sword?
After repelling Dian Wei and rescuing Zhang He, Gao Lan killed two birds with one stone!
"General Zhang, can we fight again?"
Zhang He's eyes lit up and he waved his spear.
"General Gao, don't worry, Zhang He is unharmed!"
Gao Lan smiled and nodded, pointing his sword straight ahead.
"I heard that Dian Wei is ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking, he is brave and invincible!"
"But the world seems to have forgotten that in the past, our Hebei Four Court Pillars dominated the world and were unrivaled!"
Zhang He was shocked as the glorious past resounded.
He immediately echoed Gao Lan loudly.
"What General Gao said is absolutely true!"
“It’s time for the world to remember the reputation of Hebei’s Four Court Pillars!”
Gao Lan became even more excited after hearing this. Isn't this exactly what he has been dreaming of?
"General Zhang, today you and I are joining forces to revive the reputation of the Four Court Pillars at the cost of Dian Wei's life!"
