The grievances have been redressed, the enemy is dead, and the people's joy cannot be expressed in words. At this moment, they have no fear or timidity. They greet people they know and don't know around them, and share each other's joy. .
The city of Guangchang was ablaze, but Gao Lan's heart was as cold as falling into an ice cave. Looking at the scene in front of him and the bloody human heads hanging on the east city wall, the pain deep in his heart could not be increased, and a wave of A deep sense of powerlessness came over my heart, and my body was crumbling.
These days, he felt tortured in his heart. Since being captured, he had thought about countless possibilities and considered countless endings. However, he never thought that this thief's methods would be so frightening.
From the public trial to the recording of the crime and hanging on the wall to hanging the head in public, he saw all the situations. The thief, not only did he want to slaughter his family and destroy his clan, but he also wanted to dig up the ancestral grave of the Gao family in Guangchang. , this thief has now exposed all the evil deeds of the Gao family in Guangchang. No matter how much pen and ink they have, it is difficult to wash away the sins and find a foothold among the gentry.
ruthless! Absolutely!
Only these two words can describe this thief's methods.
Guangchang Gao family is finished.
After the big things are taken care of, all that's left is some detailed finishing work.
Zhang Sheng withdrew his eyes from the city and focused on the prisoners beside him. Gao Lan had shown a superior attitude since he was captured, and he was a thief at every turn. Now, Zhang Sheng wanted to see what he was doing What else to say?
"Gao Lan, this is the answer I give you. Banban's crimes are hard to write down on silk, and his numerous evil deeds are heinous. Is this the noble family you call a noble family? Is this the wealthy family you open your mouth to uphold justice? Now, you still have What can you say? Do you still think that the Gao family of Guangchang should not be killed? Do you still think that a thief like me will receive retribution?"
Gao Lan, as one of the Four Court Pillars of Hebei, alongside Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He, Gao Lan became the general that Yuan Shao relied on most. On the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Yan Liang and Wen Chou died one after another, making Zhang He and Gao Lan the mainstay of Yuan Shao's army.
During the final battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Zhang Liao rushed out of Cao Cao's army and was intercepted by Zhang He in Yuan Shao's army. The two sides launched a fierce duel. At the same time, Gao Lan intercepted Xu Chu with his gun, and the four generals fell into a fierce fight. There was no winner in forty or fifty rounds. Seeing this, Cao Cao had no choice but to order Xiahou and Cao Hong to lead three thousand soldiers to charge over, and the battle ended.
Gao Lan's performance in this battle can be described as outstanding, and it can be regarded as the highlight moment of his life. He directly dragged Xu Chu, who was as famous as Dian Wei, and showed the same strength as Xu Huang and Pang De.
He is such a fierce general, but Zhang Sheng knows that although he is a good person, he is not his type and he must not keep him!
Regardless of his own hatred for destroying the Gao clan in Guangchang, from a historical perspective, after Cao Cao fought against Yuan Shao, Gao Lan and Zhang He's team together voted for the old thief Cao. After that, Zhang He's life flourished, while Gao Lan disappeared. Why? Just because the Gao clan is too powerful.
Whether it is the Gao family in Guangchang or the Gao family in Qingzhou, Jizhou, their roots should be in Chenliu, that is, the Gaogan branch. Therefore, Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince, could marry a daughter of the Gao family.
It was such a son of a wealthy family whose clans spread across several states. Even Cao Cao, the old thief, couldn't control someone who didn't dare to reuse him. Zhang Sheng thought to himself that he should send him on his way. He didn't want to cause trouble for himself anymore.
Hearing Zhang Sheng's question, Gao Lan looked away from the city, thought about it, and was speechless.
The Guangchang Gao family's crime was in front of him, so what could he have to say in defense?
"Winning a king or losing a bandit is all about death!" Gao Lan did not expect that Guangchang and his party would become his end. He could only utter a few words sadly and slowly closed his eyes.
"Detain him and keep his body intact." Zhang Sheng looked at Gao Lan who was waiting for death and announced his end.
Hard-spoken?
A dying person should be tough.
"Let's go, don't embarrass a man. Why didn't I see you so cowardly when I ordered the evil slaves to kill people?"
Yu Zhong saw the staggering Gao Lan saying something and giving him a look of disdain. If it weren't for the fact that his elder brother was still polite to him, he would have shot the thief. During the fierce battle at the bridge, he Many of his soldiers were killed by this thief's gun.
"You..."
Yu Zhong's words, like a sword, stabbed Gao Lan's heart with blood. It was this stab that stimulated him, and his arrogance as a nobleman was once again aroused, and he barely stood still. He wanted to open his mouth to rebuke this despicable thief, but when he said the word "Ru", looking at Yu Zhong's disdainful expression, Gao Lan couldn't speak anymore because of the words stuck in his throat.
Never thought that one day, a descendant of his noble family would be just a commoner, but how could he be a lowly slave and a thief who should be humiliated?
Shame, shame and humiliation!
"Let's go quickly, don't be impatient." Yu Zhong's tone was extremely disdainful.
Gao Lan's face trembled as the voice reached his ears, and his bloody heart was stabbed heavily by Yu Zhong.
The road from the city to the outside of the city is not long. Gao Lan knew what it meant for him to step off the city wall and out of the city this time. He was not afraid of death. He had been prepared to die from the day he was captured. However, Gao's reputation cannot be tarnished. He is not willing to die in the hands of such a despicable thief.
How can a man be humiliated at the hands of a slave?
With this in mind, Gao Lan moved towards the entrance of the lower city, while secretly paying attention to the thieves beside him: two spears were absentmindedly pressed behind him, and an iron and wooden stick was distracted by the excitement outside the city. , the thieves on the city wall were completely placed outside the city.
good chance!
When passing directly above the east gate, Gao Lan finally looked forward to the opportunity.
Although his arms were tied, this did not prevent him from jumping down from the top of the city.
Gao Lan thought clearly, his heart suddenly crossed, and he pushed his shoulders sharply. The thief next to him was suddenly attacked, and he subconsciously stepped aside to get out of the way. Gao Lan was waiting for this opportunity, and he used all his strength to rush forward. The momentum continued unabated. When his body reached the female wall, he twisted his waist and used strength. He leaned forward with his upper body and fell out of the city wall.
Exclamations and screams were heard at the city gate.
Free, finally free!
Pain, bone-gnawing pain; cold, heart-to-bone cold!
Gao Lan struggled to take a breath, and then turned over. He was a man, and he had to leave with dignity.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he struggled, his face was still pressed against the cold ground, and his body could not move at all.
"Among the four courtyard pillars, there is no Gao Lan!" Just when Gao Lan's eyelids weighed more than a thousand pounds, a faint sigh came to his ears.
Four courtyard pillars?
Gao Lan closed his eyes forever with doubts...
