Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The fight between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's brothers had already chilled the hearts of his subordinates. The Longcuo garrison seemed to have many soldiers and strong combat power, but in fact the army was disorganized and no one was willing to work for Yuan Tan.  Gao Shun succeeded in his first attack and defeated Longcuo City. Yuan Tan quickly retreated to the plain.  Gao Shun did not relax at all and led the army to continue to attack the plains. Yuan Tan was defeated and fled to Nanpi again.

    Under the Nanpi City, banners were fluttering, and there was a forest of iron swords. Tens of thousands of elite Jiangdong troops had surrounded Nanpi City as if it were a steel tower.  In Gao Shun's camp, a middle-aged scribe wearing a blue shirt calmly opened the curtain door of Gao Shun's tent and walked in with his head held high.  Gao Shun was leaning over to look at the map. When he saw the man, he said happily: "Zijing, are you back? This trip will definitely not be easy. Sit down quickly! Sit down quickly!"

    The man's name was Qianzhao, whose courtesy name was Zijing. He was a native of Guanjin, Anping. When he was more than ten years old, he studied with Leyin, a native of the same county.  During the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, He Miao and Le Yin were killed by the rebels. Qian Zhao, Le Yin's disciple Shi Lu and others risked their lives to collect Le Yin's body and carry him back home.  When Dao met a bandit, Shi Lu and others fled in all directions. Lianzhao cried and begged. The bandit thought he was a righteous man and let him go. From this, Lianzhao became famous.

    Later, Qianzhao was hired by Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou, and he also led the Wuwan Tuqi. From time to time, Yuan Shao's close officials broke the law, so Qianzhao was killed first and then reported. Although Yuan Shao did not blame him, he did not use him again.  After Yuan Shao's death, Qian Zhao was ordered by Yuan Shang to join the party to raise military supplies for him, which was appreciated by Bingzhou's senior officials.  Later, Yuan Shang was defeated and fled to Zhongshan. He persuaded the senior officials to rely on the dangers of the mountains and rivers and had sufficient troops and food to take Yuan Shang in and join forces to resist the Jiangdong Army. However, the senior officials were afraid of Yuan Shang, fearing that he would seize his power after annexing the state.  He refused to obey and instead wanted to harm Qianzhao. After hearing the news, Qianzhao sneaked away secretly and then threw himself into Gao Shun's tent.  Being relied on as the right and left hand.

    After Qianzhao sat down, he raised his hand to Gao Shunggong and replied calmly: "I'm going to Liucheng now. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. King Wuhuanqiao was about to assemble five thousand cavalry to rescue Nanpi. I persuaded him not to go back.  Troops are coming.¡±

    Gao Shun was overjoyed, stood up, bowed deeply to Qianzhao, and said: "Liucheng Wuhuan. It has always been used by the Yuan family and is a major worry for our army to march north. Today, if we don't help Yuan Tan, I think he is determined to break away from the Yuan family."  . He will definitely be a great help to our army in the future, Mr. Zijing¡¯s contribution is really not small!¡±

    Qianzhao also stood up and returned the greeting, saying: "How can I say that my duties are great? To be honest, when I met King Qiao of Wuhuan, Gongsun Kang, the prefect of Liaodong, also sent an envoy Han Zhong to seal the ribbon with King Qiao. King Qiao hosted a banquet for us. During the banquet,  Han Zhong was arrogant and said, "My lord has millions of mercenaries, and I have Fuyu and Haoqi at my disposal. In today's situation, the strong is king. What does Zhou Yu mean?"

    Gao Shun smiled and said: "Zijing must fight back!"

    Qianzhao nodded and said: "I was angry and stood up to scold Han Zhongdao. Zhou Gong was wise and wise. He assisted the emperor and defeated the rebels. The world was peaceful. Your monarchs and ministers are foolish and treacherous. Now you are relying on danger and disobeying the king's order. Now it is the law. How dare you slander him?  Sir! Having said that, I rushed forward, pushed Han Zhong to the ground, and drew my sword to chop him. King Qiao was frightened and persuaded me to calm down. Everyone on the left and right turned pale. I was still sitting at the table, analyzing the situation for King Qiao and others.  Everyone comes down and bows down."

    Gao Shun's eyes were full of admiration and he praised: "Zijing is full of courage!"

    At this time, Zhao Yun strode into the tent, pointed at Gao Shun, raised his fists and said, "General, Mr. Zijing, the defenders in the city seem to be showing signs of breaking out!"

    Hearing this, Gao Shun led Zhao Yun and Qian Zhao out of the camp and climbed up to the watchtower. He saw that the guards in the city were moving, and there were faint sounds of fighting. Gao Shun nodded to Zhao Yun and said, "I think Yuan Tan has discovered his troops."  The general who wants to surrender to our army is in the inner barricade. This is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy! Send our military order, and the troops will immediately begin to attack the city! General Zilong"

    Zhao Yun clasped his fists and replied: "The end will be here!"

    Gao Shun looked calm and whispered: "You lead the heavy armored cavalry to ambush outside the south gate. If Yuan Tan breaks out, he must go here!"

    Qianzhao was a little puzzled and asked: "General, if Yuan Tan wants to escape, heading north is the right way. How come he goes out of the south gate instead?"

    Gao Shun chuckled and said: "Yuan Tan has rich experience in battles. He has already expected that our army will judge him for going out of the north gate, so he will do the opposite. Zilong, you will definitely wait for him when you go outside the south gate!  "

    An hour later, the south gate of Nanpi City suddenly opened wide. Yuan Tan led his confidants to rush out on horseback, penetrated the Jiangdong Army's pursuit and interception, and galloped wildly.

    Suddenly, a dark armored heavy cavalry appeared in Yuan Tan's sight, blocking their way. The sunlight reflected from their armor was filled with cold murderous intent.

    Yuan Tan was shocked. However, at this moment, it was too late for them to turn back. The fast horse speed had brought them to less than 300 steps away from the armored cavalry!

    Zhao Yun had a sneer at the corner of his mouth. From their point of view, Yuan Tan's hundreds of light-armored knights were like meat on the chopping board or fish in the pot. Isn't it easy to capture them?

    Gently drop the ironZhao Yun's mask revealed only a pair of sharp eyes. Zhao Yun lowered the huge lance in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Kill me!"

    An hour later, Yuan Tan's head was in front of Gao Shun's eyes. Gao Shun closed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice: "A queen from a famous family has ended up like this! Send me an order to bury her alive."

    In the battle of Nanpi, Yuan Tan's last power was wiped out, and he himself died under the trampling of the hurricane's heavy cavalry.  From then on, the fertile Jizhou no longer belonged to the Yuan family.

    When Yuan Tan was buried, in Ji County, the seat of Youzhou, Yuan Xi was comforting Yuan Shang who came to seek refuge.

    "Second brother, brother, I have lost my ancestral property, and I really have no face to come here to see you." Yuan Shang's eyes filled with tears, but he held back the tears.

    Yuan Xi¡¯s face looked a little sad. He had long since withdrawn from the competition for heirs and had lost his ambition. Being able to securely hold Youzhou was his greatest hope.  When Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang competed for the territory of Jizhou, he firmly stood on Yuan Shang's side. Blood is thicker than water. After all, he and Yuan Shang were born from the same mother. In comparison, Yuan Tan was inferior.

    However, Yuan Xi did not expect that Yuan Tan would forget his father's hatred and humbly ask for help from Jiangdong Army. After receiving the help, Xianyu turned around and killed Yuan Shang inextricably, making a good Jizhou popular among the people.  Dispersed, all businesses withered, and finally a sneak attack by Gao Shun, the general of the Jiangdong Army, not only did Yuan Shang lose Yecheng and had to surrender to him, but also Yuan Tan tried to fall out with the Jiangdong Army, but he also ended up defeated and killed!

    Why did the Yuan family end up in this situation!

    "Third brother, please relax, but Jiangdong Army's forces still dare not extend to our Youzhou! I have arranged a spacious house for you to have a good rest! We will not discuss the counterattack on Jizhou for the time being. There have been frequent chaos in Youzhou recently.  Let's settle the situation first and then let's talk" There was a hint of helplessness in Yuan Xi's words.
