    It was found out that there were no foreign enemies in Liyang, but it was so abnormal, and there was no grain sent across the river. Yuan Shao and Shen Pei were panicked.  At this time, Cao Cao's army was approaching. When the two armies faced each other from a distance, Cao Cao stationed his troops and horses again, and only sent people to shoot hundreds of letters and seal them into Yuan's camp.  The sergeant picked up the letter and sent it to the big tent. Yuan Shao and others watched it. Guo Tu had secretly surrendered to the Cao family. Yuan Jun's retreat was cut off and he was about to run out of food. They tried to persuade him to surrender.  After reading it only once, the judges and others knew that what was written in the letter was most likely true. Yuan Shao was so frightened that he lost his mind. Everyone in the army was in an uproar and spread the word about it.  Xun Chen was also with the army at this time. After Xun Yu defected to Cao Cao, he had completely broken with the Xun family. Everyone else in Yuan's army could surrender to Cao Cao, but he could not. He said to Yuan Shao anxiously: "Although Wen Chou is dead,  Our army still has more soldiers than Cao Cao, so it is better to gather the three armies, defeat Cao Cao's army first, seize their food and grass, and then return to Hebei to question Guo Tu!" Shen Pei agreed.  Guo Tu rebelled against Li Yang and immediately put the army into a desperate situation. Xun Chen's words were justified. Yuan Shao urgently sent an order to Zhang He and Gao Lan. All armies must come forward tomorrow and fight to the death with Cao Cao. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed.  But I don¡¯t know that Zhang He and Gao Lan, two generals, had been lobbying many people last winter, secretly tempting them with the ninth-grade family method. The reason why they had not moved before was because the family still stayed in Hebei.  Before Yuan Jun crossed the river, Zhang He and Gao Lan had been tipped off by Cao Cao's envoys to move their families to Liyang. At that time, the two generals did not know who else was secretly attached to Cao Mengde except themselves, nor did they know that Guo Tu, who had always mastered Yuan Jun's tactics, was also like himself.  Similarly, although they obey orders, they all have doubts.  Now that we have heard that Li Yang belongs to Cao Cao, wouldn¡¯t we have nothing to worry about?  When Yuan Shao's order arrived, Gao Lan and Zhang He killed the envoy and led their troops to Cao Cao's camp to accept the surrender.  The two of them had some sense of shame and did not directly attack Yuan Shao's army.  Since Qu Yi fled, among the Hebei generals, Chunyu Qiong and Yan Liang had already been killed in the battle, Jin Wen Chou died again, and Zhang He and Gao Lan defected again.  It has been completely destroyed, leaving some Jiang Qi and his like who are not of much use.  Dong Zhao, Zhu Ling, the Xin brothers, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Xu You had abandoned him one by one and went south. They had slapped Ben Chu in the face, who was conceited about his talent, strategy and moral reputation.  Now even Guo Tu, Zhang He and Gao Lan are doing this!  ??Among these three people, Guo Tu is in charge of detail, Zhang He is the sole leader of the elite Euphorbia Soldiers before their expansion, and Gao Lan is also one of the Four Court Pillars, and they are all highly trusted.  Such a trustworthy, close and important person.  If you abandon them all, how can I, Yuan Shao, be inferior to Meng De?  It turns out that Cao Mengde set up a deadlock to lure our army across the river to start a battle!  In today's situation in the north, if you want to dominate, Deng Ji is the most difficult and fundamental enemy. He can only take advantage of Sizhou's failure to recover after last year's battle and swallow Cao Cao first before he can compete with Guanzhong in the future.  Power.  But now, my land in Hebei is going to be swallowed up by Cao Cao?  After hearing the news, Benchu ??stood stunned for a long time.  Suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out and he fell to the ground.  Shen Pei and Yuan Shang rushed to visit him, but he had fainted.  Zhang He and Gao Lan's leaders defected, leaving only 20,000 soldiers and civilians in the Central Army. The situation suddenly reversed. Cao Cao's army was not as large as Cao Cao's, and morale was declining and increasing. How to deal with this endgame?  After a while, Ben Chu finally woke up, his eyes gazing at the faces of Shen Pei, Yuan Shang, Xun Chen and others for a long time.  Finally, he said softly: "After gathering the Euphorbia soldiers, the whole army will go to Yan County to join forces with Xianyi." Cao Cao is afraid that the battle will start in a day or two. The white horse can no longer hold on, and the enemy is on the side.  The way back was cut off and it was impossible to cross the river and return to the north bank. Shen Pei followed Yuan Shao's orders and hurriedly led his troops to Yan County.  It¡¯s just that at this time, how could Cao Cao not chase him with the title?  One side is like a lost dog, and the other side is full of morale.  Cao Jun chased and killed him.  The Euphorbia soldiers in the rear only resisted for a moment before being defeated. Many people dismounted and asked to surrender.  Then, under the pursuit of tiger and leopard cavalry, large numbers of sergeants and civilians abandoned their weapons and knelt down on the roadside, begging for their lives.  Yuan's army was completely defeated, and the defeated army spread all over the mountains and plains. Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, etc. among Cao's army were extremely happy and went around to collect and surrender the troops.  In the end, Shen Pei, Yuan Shang, and Xun Chen only led less than 3,000 cavalry to protect Ben Chu and fled to Yuan Xi's army in Yan County. The rest of the soldiers either surrendered or fled to the countryside, and they were all lost.  The army was defeated so quickly. Yuan Shang and others who were waiting for trial arrived in Yan County. Yuan Xi was also dumbfounded and could not believe it.  The situation was so bad that it was impossible to fight Cao Cao's army again, and they didn't know how to cross the Yellow River and escape.  Arriving at Yan County, Yuan Shao was still in and out of consciousness. When he woke up, Shen Pei suggested: "Although Deng Mu'an is eager to establish the country, he should not see our army annihilated in Yanzhou and Cao Cao's power to annex Hebei. It is better to go west for help!"  Yuan Shao reluctantly nodded in agreement, and Yuan Xi took advantage of the fact that the main force of Cao's army had not arrived, and the whole army broke out and headed to Chenliu Suanzao County in the southwest.?Go to the line.  Only by escaping the wild jujubes can we reach the boundary of Henan County.  Yu Jin was rewarded with a great victory on the white horse. Yuan Xi's army moved, and Yu Jin followed closely. However, the number of his soldiers was small. Yuan Xi used his fine cavalry to cut off the enemy, then retreated slowly, and Yu Jin could not stay.  Cao Cao left Cao Ren, Zhang He, and Gao Lan to continue to collect the surrendered troops, and led an army of more than ten thousand to pursue Yuan Xi again. In addition to Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, Xia Houyuan's infantry troops marched the fastest, and they all caught up with Yu Jin two days later, and then joined forces to pursue Yuan Xi.  Yuan Xi.  With the addition of Hubaoqi and Xiahouyuan, Yuan Jun began to have difficulties and was gradually bitten. Yuan Xi and others could only take turns to cut off the rear and fight to the death with them.  Before reaching Suanzao County, Yuan Shang, who was clearing the way for the fleeing team, suddenly saw smoke and dust rising in front of him. Soon after, a large number of cavalry troops appeared in his field of vision.  With just one glance, the painful lessons of the past told Yuan Shang that the Sizhou Army was unique in the world. However, it was difficult to tell whether Shang was an enemy or a friend. If the other party also plotted against his own remnant army, there would really be only one way to die.  There were pursuers behind and an evil tiger in front, and all the sergeants around Yuan Shang were frightened.  The large group of knights in black robes and halberds ran closer and closer. Sergeant Yuan in front quickly saw clearly the descending tiger embroidered on the opponent's military flag.  Fortunately, when the Sizhou army came closer, a burly soldier waved a flag to stop the team, stepped out of the line and shouted: "This is Guan Hai, the captain of Guo Yi, the Huya Army under Duke Deng! Where is Cao's pursuer?  Our army can stop it for you!" "The nightmare of the past can also become a savior today. After hearing this, Yuan Shang was immediately determined and pointed behind him: "We will fight with my second brother ten miles later!"  The entire Huya Army galloped past Yuan's troops and rushed towards the fighting place. Yuan Shang anxiously informed Yuan Shao, Shen Pei and others of the news to stabilize the morale of the army.  Sizhou was well prepared and decided not to let Yuan Shao swallow Cao Cao, nor to let Cao Cao swallow Yuan Shao.  It was in Sizhou's interest that both the Yuan and Cao families would lose in the fight. After the war in Guandong began, the Huya Army moved out of Sishui Pass in order to facilitate intervention in the war.  Stationed in Yuanwu County, the easternmost part of Henan Province where Deng Ji gave up.  But although they knew that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were secretly guarding Sizhou from disrupting the situation, no one, no matter Deng Ji, Tian Feng, Jia Xu, or Xu Shu, expected that Cao Mengde could secretly persuade Guo Tu, Zhang He, and Gao Lan to surrender almost overnight.  In a short time, Yuan Shao was defeated like a mountain.  Near Baima County.  There were scouts sent by the Huya Army to report military intelligence every day, but Yuan Shao was defeated so quickly. Taishi Ci immediately sent troops from Yuanwu after learning about it, but it was still a little late.  Fortunately, Tai Shici still had to retain the last trace of Yuan Jun's vitality.  When the Huya Army arrived at the battlefield where they were still fighting, Man Buiruan charged into the formation and killed Xia Houyuan, Yu Jin, and Cao Chun. None of the three dared to pursue them again.  Taishi Ci did not want to lose too many soldiers for Yuan Shao, so after retreating from the pursuit, he escorted Yuan's army and slowly retreated to Henan.  When Cao Cao learned about it, although he was angry, Si Yan had not yet accomplished all the work.  However, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops and stop pursuing them, fearing that his new strength would be lost to Sizhou's army again.  Three days later, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun to Yujin to cross the river to collect troops and food from Liyang, and then went north to besiege Yecheng. Jushu could only hold on desperately. Yecheng was in danger. Fortunately, the Hanoi Dang bandits arrived again and scared off Xiahou Dun's army.  In mid-April, Yuan Tan learned that Yuan Shao's army had been defeated.  Urgently lead the troops to retreat from Qingzhou, and the siege of Jibei can be solved.  With the Sizhou Army on the side to rescue them, Yecheng was temporarily difficult to capture, so Cao Cao ordered him to stay in Liyang.  He recruited Xiahou Dun and Guo Tu and sent Cao Ren's troops to attack Pingyuan County far away from Sizhou. He then replenished Lejin's army and sent troops from Beihai to attack Le'an, Jinan and Qi.  Qingzhou governor Yuan Tan mobilized his troops to rule, but they could no longer withstand the two-pronged attack and finally had to retreat into Yecheng.  Within a month or two, all the land in Qingzhou was occupied by Cao Cao.  Also in mid-April, Deng Ji rushed to Juan County in person. Following Li Jue, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Ma Teng, and Han Sui, he had to meet Yuan Shao, another hero in troubled times.  At this time, Ben Chu no longer looked like a hero at all. He was lying on the bed sickly, dying as if he was about to die at any time. Although he looked miserable, Deng Ji would not sympathize with him. He only said with a straight face: "Yuan Gong's military desire."  Returning via Henan and Hanoi, if you want to use our army to protect the city of Ye, you only need to do two things!" He was already completely defeated, and Deng Ji wanted to rip him off. Yuan Shao didn't even have the strength to be angry, so he just said: "Let's talk about it!  " Deng Ji nodded and said: "First of all, regardless of the soldiers in the army, the civil and military forces, or the defeated troops who want to stay in Sizhou, they must allow it, and they cannot stop their family members from coming in the future!" "Now Cao Cao!  The power of Youji has greatly increased. If you want to keep Jizhou, you must borrow the power of Sizhou and form an alliance with Deng Ji. Deng Ji will not weaken Youji's strength too much. After hearing this condition, Yuan Shao agreed: "Yes!" Deng Ji said again  : "As Mr. Yuan is getting older, he must be prepared for things behind him. He has suffered a great defeat at Baima. If there is another civil strife in Ye City, how can he resist Cao's army? Secondly, I hope Mr. Yuan will establish an heir here."???Deng Muan is willing to bear witness!  " The judge was furious when he heard this. He glared and rebuked: "You are so brave, the thief!  What does Mr. Yuan¡¯s family affairs have to do with Sizhou?  Yuan Shang also had difficulty controlling his emotions, but he needed to avoid suspicion on this topic and could not speak. Dian Wei, who was accompanying Deng Ji behind him, raised a forty-pound iron halberd in his right hand, pointed at the judge and shouted, "Do you want to die like this?"  " A judge of a match's temperament is not one who can judge the situation. When Dian Wei scolded him, he became even more furious and cursed him repeatedly. Taishi Ci, Guan Hai and others were also furious and drew their swords to follow Dian Wei and kill him on the spot. " Deng Ji's suggestion  It has seriously interfered with the internal affairs of Jizhou, but Yuan Shao understood what Deng Ji meant. He was afraid that if he died, the princes would fight among themselves, and with Sizhou's support, it would be difficult to stop Cao Cao's northward invasion. Looking at the dried blood stains on his collar,  Feeling the faint fishy smell in his throat, Yuan Shao sighed softly on the couch: "That's it!  Don't get too involved in Shen Zhengnan. I'm afraid my life won't last long. It's time to establish an heir!  "The judge's wife silenced bitterly, and Deng Jicai shouted at Dian Wei and others. Yuan Shao glanced at Yuan Xi. This son is a real and kind man. He has done nothing wrong on the pastoral and guarding side, but he has few decisions and cannot be established as the leader. Looking at Yuan Shang again, he has a handsome appearance.  It's a pity that after Jinyang was defeated and captured, he was greatly disappointed. Except for the trial, his subordinates refused to accept him as his heir. Yuan Shao sighed softly: "I, Yuan Shao, now appoint my eldest son Tan as his heir."  , in order to carry forward my ambition, I still hope that you will not give up!  " Deng Ji said: "No!  From now on, Sizhou should do its best to help Yuan Xiansi, so that he will not be bullied by Cao Mengde!  ¡± (I¡¯m still drinking today, so I can¡¯t make up for it.)
