"Oh haha……"
As soon as Gao Lan made such decisive rebuttal, Gongsun Ming not only did not get angry, but instead raised his head and laughed, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Do you want to humiliate me?"
Gao Lan was at a loss when Gongsun Ming smiled like this. He was surprised at first, and then a wave of shame and anger surged up in his heart. He ignored his identity as a prisoner and shouted angrily with a face as deep as the bottom of a pot. .
"Don't blame General Gao for losing his temper at a certain moment. But then again, it wasn't you who insulted General Gao, but you who insulted yourself."
Gongsun Ming didn't care about Gao Lan's outburst and bad attitude. He waved his hand and signaled the guards who had unsheathed their swords to retreat on their own, but he gave an explanation slowly and unhurriedly.
"Huh, Gao's loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon, so why should you insult yourself? Don't talk nonsense about alienating me. If you want to kill me, I will kill you. It is absolutely impossible for Gao to surrender to you!"
In the battle the day before yesterday, the reason why Gao Lan surrendered without a fight was not because he planned to submit to Gongsun Ming, but because he wanted to be useful for the future. In his opinion, although Gongsun Ming was a cunning He won once, but he would never be a match for the wise and powerful Yuan Shaozhi. If he surrendered to Gongsun Ming at this time, he would definitely be seeking death, and of course he would not do it.
"I have never doubted General Gao's loyalty. It's a pity that General Gao is loyal to the wrong person."
Gao Lan is one of the few famous generals in Hebei. His martial arts skills are only slightly inferior to Zhao Yun. He is definitely one of the most powerful generals in the world. It seems that such generals have already been put on his lips. How could Gongsun Ming be willing to do so? If he missed it easily, he would definitely not kill him, because he had already dug the hole and was not worried about Gao Lan jumping out of his grasp.
"Insolent, the third prince of the Western Yuan family has great prestige, and Mr. Yuan is even more virtuous and respected. As long as my surname is from Hebei, no one knows it, and no one knows it. You, a kid with a yellow mouth, dare to talk about right and wrong. It is really ridiculous!"
Upon hearing what Gongsun Ming said, Gao Lan suddenly became furious and cursed Gongsun Ming with his eyes wide open. He immediately provoked the guards in front of the tent to draw their swords.
"Oh haha……"
Even though Gao Lan's words were extremely unpleasant, Gongsun Ming not only didn't get angry, but instead looked up to the sky and laughed again.
"You bastard, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. You, a thief, have humiliated me too much over and over again!"
After being teased repeatedly by Gongsun Ming, Gao Lan obviously lost control of his emotions. He was so angry that he wanted to fight Gongsun Ming for his life.
"Wait a minute, does General Gao think that I am insulting you? Hey, that's a big mistake. The Yuan family is a true father-in-law, but it's too ridiculous for Yuan Benchu to claim that he is highly virtuous and respected."
Just when Gao Lan was about to pounce, Gongsun Ming suddenly stopped laughing, pressed his hand, and refuted Gao Lan in a cold voice.
"My lord..."
Gao Lan had always been loyal, but when he heard that Gongsun Ming was belittling his lord, he became angry again and wanted to promote Yuan Shao's wisdom and prowess.
"Your lord is a member of a famous family in vain, but he is an ambitious man. He is called a Hanchen, but he is actually a traitor to the Han Dynasty. In the sixth year of Zhongping, when General He Jin and General He entered the palace, your lord did not see you first. After urging him to take the risk, he and Cao Ah'an sent troops into the palace to burn and kill, destroying the five hundred years of our Han Dynasty. What's worse, when the alliance was meeting at Hulao Pass, they stole the position of alliance leader without thinking about serving the country. You are so loyal that you actually hid your elite soldiers and strong generals in the rear. The euphemistic name is to urge the army, but in fact you are conserving your strength. Not only Yan Liang and Wen Chou have not arrived, but you, Gao Lan, have never served in front of Hulao Pass. Such hypocrisy There is no such thing as loyalty. Moreover, when the emperor drove east out of Hangu, he wrote to your lord and invited him to be King Qin's tutor. However, your lord was a good man and refused to accept the call. He could not bear to see your majesty fall into the hands of Cao Ah Ma. It is known to everyone who passes by that you betray the Han people's desire to be self-reliant. How can you have the face to defend such a traitorous and evil person? I am deeply ashamed of the general!"
Before Gao Lan could finish his words, Gongsun Ming scolded Yuan Shao. After a long speech, Gao Lan was stunned on the spot.
"Someone, someone..."
Everything Gongsun Ming said was true, and it really exposed Yuan Shao's hypocritical true face. Poor Gao Lan was not good at speaking at this time. At this moment, he was dumbfounded and couldn't say a complete sentence. His black face was stunned. He was so depressed that he turned red and purple.
"The general is a good man. He just works for the thief. He doesn't feel ashamed, but feels proud of it. This is ridiculous. Not to mention that the thief Yuan never used the general seriously. If I remember correctly, the general is just a favor to the general now. After that position, I have never even been a general. My abilities are enough to rank among the top three in Hebei, but I can only serve as a helper for people like Chun Yuqiong. It’s so sad. I have to be a general and it’s not worth it.”
There are two most critical abilities for people who are involved in officialdom. One is to observe colors, and the other is to have eloquence. Gongsun Ming is not lacking in these two, and it is obviously easy to use them to fool military generals like Gao Lan. It couldn't be any easier.
"Um……"
Gao Lan was completely confused by Gongsun Ming. Even though he was trained like a grandson by Gongsun Ming, he had no face to talk back. But if he wanted to join the poor and useless Gongsun Ming like this, it would definitely not be Gao Lan's. As expected, at this moment, apart from sighing helplessly, Gao Lan didn't know what to say.
"Previously, I asked the general a question, why did he leave the general here alone? Well, to put it bluntly, it's simple. I really pity the general's great talent and couldn't bear to see the general perish with the Yuan family, so he left the general here alone. I can't hide it. , the general is left here alone. After Chunyu Qiong and others return, they will definitely blame the general for the defeat. With Yuan Shao's meanness and unkindness, even if the general can go back, he will not be able to escape Yuan Shao. In order to settle the matter, General, it is better not to make mistakes."
Gongsun Ming ignored Gao Lan's stunned look and continued to answer the question at the beginning.
"Gongsun Zan has died, and you and the others are nothing more than a remnant. Even if you are lucky enough to win, you will not have a future. How can I accompany you to death?"
After being deceived by Gongsun Ming, Gao Lanjin was quite disappointed with Yuan Shao, and had already begun to consider joining the Ming Lord. However, this Ming Lord was definitely not Gongsun Ming, at least judging from the current situation. , Gao Lan is not optimistic about Gongsun Ming's prospects at all.
"Oh haha……"
As soon as Gao Lan said these words, Gongsun Ming not only didn't get angry, but actually raised his head and burst into laughter for the third time. Gao Lan's dark face turned as red as blood again with his first laugh, and his breathing became heavy again. He stood up and clenched his fists, clearly looking like he was going to give Gongsun Minglai a punch...
