Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the others heard this, few showed signs of regret. Yuan Shao couldn't cry out and reluctantly nodded in pain.  As soon as possible, he wrote his will in front of his bed.  Yuan Shao turned over and screamed, then vomited blood and died.  After Yuan Shao died, Feng Ji, Xun Chen and others presided over the funeral. The wife then killed all five of Yuan Shao's beloved concubines. Fearing that their ghosts would meet Yuan Shao again under the Nine Springs, they cut off their hair and stabbed their faces.  Destroying his body, his jealousy is so evil that it makes everyone feel horrified.  Yuan Shang was afraid that his concubine's family would be harmed, so he took her in and killed her.  At the end of the year, Yuan Shang was appointed as the Grand Sima General, leading the pastoral care of Ji, Qing, You and three prefectures, and sent envoys to report the funeral.

    At this time, because Cao Cao's army was approaching, Yuan Shang urgently reported to Qingzhou and Youzhou, and ordered his two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi to come to rescue.  It is said that Yuan Tan learned that his father was dead in Qingzhou. There was no sadness on his face, but with strong resentment, he called Guo Tu and Xin Ping for discussion.

    "My father has only doted on his third younger brother in his life, but now he has abolished the eldest brother and established the younger brother. I am really dissatisfied!"

    Guo Tu was beside him, his eyes were glowing, and he said coldly.

    "My lord is dead. Now that Feng Ji and Xun Chen have great power in Jizhou, they must make Yuan Shang the master. We must do it quickly."

    Xin Ping looked solemn and echoed from the side.

    "Feng Ji and Xun Chen are both insidious and cunning, and they must have planned a plan. If you rush forward rashly now, you will surely suffer disaster."

    After Yuan Tan heard this, his expression turned darker and he asked quickly.

    "What should I do then?"

    Guo Tu pondered for a while and then said.

    "The general can station troops outside the city and observe its movements. Someone should go and observe it personally and enter Jizhou to see how the situation is."

    Yuan Tan followed his words and sent Guo Tu to Jizhou to meet Yuan Shang.  Guo Tu went out that day and rushed there. Yuan Shang received everyone and finished the ceremony. Yuan Shang didn't see Yuan Tan, so he asked unhappily.

    "Why don't you see your brother arriving?"

    Guo Tu said without changing his expression or heartbeat.

    "Xiansi was traumatized by the bad news about my lord. He is ill in the army and cannot see each other."

    Yuan Shang frowned and silently cursed in his heart.

    "I'm afraid that my brother doesn't want to obey his father's orders, and he's afraid that I might harm him in Jizhou, so he doesn't see me."

    But Yuan Shang quickly came to his senses and put on a smile.

    "I was ordered by my father to make me the master and my brother as the general of chariots and cavalry. Now that Cao's army is approaching, I asked my brother to be in the front. I will then mobilize troops to respond. The enemy is facing a great enemy. I hope that my brother will take some time to express his condolences and stay with my brother.  Join hands and defeat the Cao thieves together.¡±

    Guo Tu hummed and smiled. Yuan Shang still lost his maturity in front of him. Guo Tu could tell what he was thinking just by looking at the change in his expression.  Guo Tu first humbly held his hands and saluted, which was the way.

    "Of course it is. However, there is no one in the army to discuss good strategies, and my knowledge is limited. I hope I can ask Yuan Tu and Xun Youruo to help me."

    When Yuan Shang heard this, his expression immediately changed. Feng Ji and Xun Chen were like his left and right arms, which must not be missing. He immediately shook his head and shouted.

    "I also want to rely on these two people to make plans sooner or later, how can we separate!"

    Guo Tu pressed each other tightly and said something else.

    "How about sending one out of the two?"

    Yuan Shang had no choice but to quarrel with his brother, so he had to ask Xun and Chen to cast lots, and the one who picked the lucky one would go.  When Feng Ji picked up the seal, Yuan Shang immediately ordered Feng Ji to seal the ribbon and go with Guo Tu to Yuan Tan's army.  Feng Ji knew that this trip would be a disaster, but Yuan Shang was the king after all, and his orders could not be violated. Feng Ji had no choice but to follow Guo Tu and rush to Tan's army. Who knew that Yuan Tan was sick and came to meet Ji in full force?  Feng Ji felt uneasy and offered his seal and ribbon.  Yuan Tan's eyes widened and he jumped into a rage. He grabbed the seal ribbon and smashed it to the ground, intending to kill Fengji.

    Guo Tu quickly stopped him and whispered from the side.

    "Now that Cao's army is suppressing the territory, I will only leave Feng Ji here to calm my mind. After Cao is defeated, it will not be too late to fight for Jizhou again."

    After hearing this, Yuan Tan calmed down a little and followed Guo Tu's words.  Immediately break out of the stronghold and march forward to Liyang to confront Cao's army.  Yuan Tan sent general Wang Zhao to fight, and Cao Cao sent general Dian Wei to meet the enemy.  The two generals were fighting for a while, but Dian Wei stabbed Wang Zhao under his horse with his halberd.  Cao Jun took advantage of the situation to cover up the attack, and Tan Jun was defeated.  Yuan Tan took the defeated army into Liyang and sent people to Yuan Shang for help.  Yuan Shang made plans with Xun Chen. Xun Chen tried to persuade him, but his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, but he sent more soldiers to rescue him.  However, Yuan Shang currently does not have many troops, and he is afraid that he will be defeated and the whole situation will be lost.  Therefore, only more than 3,000 troops were sent to help.  Cao Jun's scouts discovered that Yuan Shang's reinforcements were coming, and found that they only had 3,000 troops.  Cao Cao knew in his heart that the two brothers must each have their own evil intentions. He knew that he was quite thoughtful. At the same time, he sent Yue Jin and Li Dian to lead troops to meet him halfway, surrounded them from both ends and killed them.

    When Yuan Tan learned that Yuan Shang had dispatched three thousand troops to rescue him, but was trapped and killed on the way, he was furious and called Feng Ji to scold him.  Feng Ji was afraid of being killed by Yuan Tan, so he hurriedly told him.

    "Rong wrote a letter to the lord, asking him to come and save him personally."

    Yuan Tan immediately ordered him to write a book and send people toHe went to Jizhou to report to Yuan Shang, and Yuan Shang discussed it with Xun Chen.  Xun Chen again persuaded Yuan Shang to dispatch heavy troops to rescue him.  Unexpectedly, Yuan Shang knew that he was very prepared for Yuan Tan.

    "My brother does not want to obey his father's orders and wants to seize my position, and I have Guo Tu and Xin Ping to assist him. If we defeat Cao Cao now, we will definitely come to fight for Jizhou. It is better not to send reinforcements and use Cao Cao's power to defeat him.  ¡±

    Xun Chen's expression changed upon hearing the words, and he spoke quickly and remonstrated sharply.

    "Absolutely not! Cao Cao is so powerful that the three masters and brothers can't protect themselves if they join forces. If the brothers continue to fight, the family property of the first master will not be saved!"

    "How can you! My brother disobeys his father's orders and wants to seize the throne, so he is unkind! How can you blame me for being unjust!"

    Yuan Shang shouted angrily and insisted on doing so. Xun Chen tried to persuade him to no avail, so Yuan Shang shouted and retreated.  Yuan Shang refused to send troops in return. Yuan Tan was furious and ordered Feng Ji to behead him. Fortunately, Feng Ji had received a letter secretly sent by Xun Chen earlier. He first learned that Yuan Shang was unwilling to send troops, so he escaped overnight and rushed to Cao Ying.  go.

    Fengji was a good strategist, but he was ruthless. Cao Cao didn't like him, so he accepted him for the time being and named Fengji Zhonglang General.  Fengji felt quite unhappy when he saw that his treatment was not as good as that of You and Shenpei, but nowadays people have to bow their heads under the roof, so Fengji had no choice but to endure it, pretending to be overjoyed and thanking him.

    Seeing that Yuan Shang did not send troops to rescue Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan was extremely angry and actually discussed with Guo Tu, Xin Ping and others to surrender to Cao Cao.  Fortunately, Yuan Shang was in Yuan Tan's army and was well prepared.  Make a detailed report to Yuan Shang.  Yuan Shang was shocked and quickly came to Xun Chen for discussion.

    "If Yuan Tan surrenders to Cao Cao and the two attack together, Jizhou will definitely be destroyed!"

    ??

    Yuan Tan was overjoyed when he heard that Yuan Shang had personally led his army, so he gave up the proposal to surrender to Cao Cao.  So Yuan Tan garrisoned troops in the city, and Yuan Shang garrisoned troops outside the city, forming a cornering force.  Not one day later, Yuan Xi and Gao Gan both led their troops from Youzhou, led their troops outside the city, stationed troops in three places, and sent out troops every day to stalemate with Cao's army.  Yuan Shang was already weak, so how could he be a powerful opponent like Cao Cao? He suffered repeated defeats, while Cao's army was victorious.

    Cao Cao attacked in different directions. Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, and Gao Gan were all defeated and abandoned Li Yang.  Cao Cao led his troops to pursue Jizhou. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang entered the city to hold on. Yuan Xi and Yu went to the stronghold thirty miles away from the city, bluffing.

    Cao Cao's soldiers attacked the city for days, attacking hard and taking it hard. They could not defeat it, and the soldiers were exhausted, so they came to Guo Jia to discuss it.

    Guo Jia calmly remonstrated.

    "The Yuan family abolished the eldest son and established the younger brother. The brothers must be dissatisfied with each other, and their power will be merged. Each of them will form a party. If they are in a hurry, they will save each other, and if they are slow, they will fight. How about your lord making a detailed retreat to wait for the changes of the Yuan brothers?  . It can be done in one fell swoop."

    Cao Cao immediately followed Guo Jia's plan and ordered Cao Ren to be the prefect to guard Liyang. The army slowly retreated to Guandu.  When Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang heard that Cao's army had retreated, they congratulated each other.  Seeing that Cao's army had retreated, Yuan Xi and Gao Gan said goodbye to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang and led their troops back to Youzhou.

    When Yuan Tan saw that Cao's army had retreated, he felt no resentment in his heart as soon as the trouble was over, and he discussed it with Guo Tu and Xin.

    "I am the eldest son, but I cannot inherit my father's inheritance. Yuan Shang was born to my stepmother, and he inherited a great title. When he is older, he listens to the younger ones. I am really unwilling to do so!!"

    Guo Tu had already thought of a treacherous plan and immediately reported it.

    "My lord can march outside the city and hold a big banquet, just to invite Xianfu and Xunchen to drink. After the two of them are treated, the swordsmen and axe-hands will swarm up and hack them to death with axes. This important matter can be settled!"

    "Hahaha. What the military advisor said is wonderful. Once these two people die, I can inherit my father's business and get back on track!"

    Yuan Tan laughed brightly after hearing this.  He immediately followed Guo Tu's plan and made arrangements secretly. When Wang Xiu arrived from Qingzhou, Yuan Tan told him about the plan. Xiu changed his face when he heard the plan and repeatedly admonished him.

    "Brothers have right and left hands. Now I am fighting with others and cut off their right hands. Cao Cao is powerful, but he will retreat for the time being and will come soon. How can you fight the evil tiger with one arm? If you abandon your brothers without kissing them, who in the world will kiss them? Then?  Mr. Guo is slandering people to alienate their own flesh and blood for the sake of personal gain. The general must not be credulous!"

    Yuan Tan wanted to get rid of Yuan Shang and seize the throne, but he didn't listen to Wang Xiu's advice. He became furious on the spot, scolded Wang Xiu and sent someone to invite Yuan Shang.  And how could Yuan Shang not be wary of Yuan Tan?  Now I am urgently looking for Xun Chen to discuss.  Xun Chen thought for a while, his face changed drastically, and he quickly said.

    "This must be Guo Tu's plan. If the Lord goes there, he will be treacherous!"

    "My brother actually wants to kill me!!! His evil intentions are hard to get rid of, how can I just sit back and wait for death!"

    Yuan Shang was so angry that he wanted to raise troops to attack Yuan Tan.  Xun Chen quickly tried to persuade him, but Yuan Shang refused, so he mounted his horse and led his troops out of the city.  When Yuan Tan saw Yuan Shang leading his army, he knew what was going on, so he mounted his horse and led his army to fight Yuan Shang.

    When Yuan Shang saw Yuan Tan, he immediately cursed him, saying that he was unfilial and unfaithful and as evil as a poisonous snake.

    How could Yuan Tan tolerate each other?He also yelled back.

    "You poisoned your father to death, usurped the title, and now you come to kill your brother! You are truly the worst evil in the world!!!"

    After the two scolded each other, they were both furious and rushed out to fight in person.  Yuan Tan's martial arts skills were mediocre and he was no match for Yuan Shang. The two brothers fought for dozens of rounds, but Yuan Tan was defeated.  Yuan Shang took advantage of the situation and ordered his troops to cover up and kill Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan was defeated.  Yuan Shang personally risked his arrows and entered the battle, intending to kill Yuan Tan.  Yuan Tan was killed by his brother and fled in embarrassment, feeling extremely angry.

    The Yuan brothers fought one after another. Yuan Tan was defeated repeatedly and led the defeated army to the plains. Only then did Yuan Shang withdraw his troops and return.  Yuan Tan was unwilling to lose his title, so he discussed with Guo Tu to advance the army again, and appointed Cen Bi as general to lead the troops.  Yuan Shang led his troops out of Jizhou to form the enemy formation, facing each other with flags and drums. Bi came out of the scolding formation, Yuan Shang clapped his horse and danced his sword, and came to fight Cen Bi.  The two generals fought countless battles, and Yuan Shang beheaded Cen Bi under his horse.  Tan Bing was defeated again and ran to the plain again.  Yuan Shang knew that if Yuan Tan was not eliminated, there would be no peace in Jizhou, so he led his troops to pursue him to the plains.

    Yuan Tan could not resist and retreated into the plain, unable to hold on.  Yuan Shang besieged the city from three sides and tried to surround Yuan Tan to death.  Yuan Tan saw that Yuan Shang wanted to kill him, so he quickly made plans with Guo Tu.
