    It was August, the autumn wind was bleak, the fallen leaves were rustling, and the bright moon was bright.  At the third watch, as expected, a team of nearly 10,000 people quietly walked toward the Bingzhou Army camp.  As expected, as Sima Yi expected, it was the Hebei and Qing coalition forces that came.  Under the strong advice of Guo Tu and Pang Ji, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang decided to launch a night attack while the Bingzhou army was tired from the distance. They each selected five thousand of the most elite soldiers. They kept silent and quietly touched the enemy.  Bingzhou army camp.  The Jizhou Army was commanded by Yuan Shang's favorite general Chen Huan, while the Qingzhou Army was led by the veteran general Jiang Yiqu. After an hour of rapid march, they had reached a place two miles away from the Bingzhou Army camp.  "Hissit's so quiet inside the camp. It's so weird and scary. I'm afraid there's a scam!" Jiang Yiqu reined in his horse, looked around, and expressed his doubts, "Come on, hurry up and catch up with General Chen Huan in front.  Let him retreat quickly, for fear that the Bingzhou army will be ambushed if he robs the camp!" "No!" The scouts received the military order and rushed forward to pursue the Jizhou army.  After listening to Jiang Yiqu's message, Chen Huan laughed and said to his confidants: "The Qingzhou soldiers were marching slowly. Jiang Yiqu saw that we were about to make the first victory, so he was alarmist. The Bingzhou army was tired from afar. This is one of the reasons. It was daytime."  The second reason for not taking any precautions is to follow me tonight and you will definitely achieve great success. We will be rich and powerful soon!" "General Chen's words are very true. I am willing to do so."  Follow the general and make great achievements!" Some cautious people said: "The silence in the enemy camp is really strange and scary, and what General Jiang Yiqu said makes sense. Besides, there are many doubts about the patrols along the way, so be more careful.  "At this moment, there was a sound of weapons clashing in front of them, as well as small-scale shouts of killing, which immediately disappeared without a trace.  After a while, a school captain came to report: "Reporting to General Chen, the forward troops encountered a patrol team of twenty people, and all of them were killed. No one escaped!" "Haha Did you see it? It's not like we didn't encounter it.  Bingzhou Patrol Army. But the rebels were negligent and did not strengthen their defenses. The moment of success is tonight. Please follow me and move forward!" Chen Huan took the lead, followed by the generals.  .  He rushed towards the Bingzhou Army camp with great momentum.  After a while, he arrived in front of the camp gate. Only dozens of soldiers were guarding it. A burst of arrows shot back, and Chen Huan rushed into the camp with his troops.  Suddenly, drums and horns sounded, torches from all directions lit up at the same time, and the shouts of death instantly became deafening.  Groups of elite soldiers emerged from the tents, trenches, jungles and weeds, all fully armed and holding sharp weapons, and surrounded the Jizhou army who came to rob the camp in the center.  Harvesting good heads.  For a moment, heads were rolling around, and flesh and blood were flying everywhere.  In the light of the fire, a general carried a tiger-headed golden gun, and he looked like he was strolling in the middle of the chaotic army.  Wherever he went, he was invincible, and Jizhou soldiers were all defeated.  In the blink of an eye, he came to Chen Huan and shouted: "Chen Huan has no plans, do you recognize Zhang Junyi in the river?" Zhang He is one of the "Four Court Pillars of Hebei" as famous as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Lan. Among Yuan Jun  How could Chen Huan not recognize him as a legendary general?  Plus being ambushed.  Already frightened and helpless, he was stabbed in the throat by Zhang He in a panic.  Knocked off the horse.  The leader of the robbery camp was dead, and the remaining Jizhou soldiers were leaderless. In addition, they were ambushed, and all of them had no intention of fighting.  Running for their lives, kneeling down to beg for mercy and surrendering their weapons, the elite team of five thousand people collapsed in a matter of seconds.  Seeing that Chen Huan did not listen to the advice and rushed forward greedily, he was ambushed and the entire army of 5,000 men was almost wiped out.  Jiang Yiqu, who was behind, was horrified and hurriedly ordered his troops to retreat.  They had just retreated more than three miles and reached a hilly area. With the sound of a gong, all the ambush troops on the hillside appeared. Random arrows were shot down, causing numerous casualties to the Qingzhou soldiers.  A general with white horses and silver spears, leading three thousand elites to block the retreat of the Qingzhou Army, was none other than Changshan Zhao Zilong.  Behind him, the big flag with the word "Zhao" fluttered in the wind, majestic.  "Where will the thief go? Quickly dismount and surrender, I will spare your life!" Zhao Yun immediately raised his spear, pointed his halberd at Jiang Yiqu, and ordered him to dismount and surrender.  Jiang Yiqu fought desperately, but was unable to break out, so he could only dismount his horse and ask for surrender: "General, spare my life. I am a general under the command of Yuan Gong. I followed Yuan Tan. It was not my intention. I was ordered to do it. I had to do it as a last resort. I hope there will be people under the gun, please forgive me."  I will not die!" After Jiang Yiqu surrendered, other Qingzhou soldiers knelt down and begged for mercy. Twenty percent of the more than five thousand elite soldiers fled, 30% died in the battle, and the rest surrendered.  A camp robbery ended in a disastrous defeat for the coalition forces.  Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were shocked when they heard that the men who had robbed the camp had been ambushed.  Guo Tu and Pang Ji were left behind to guard the camp with 10,000 men, and each led their main armies to rescue Jiang Yiqu and Chen Huan.  Halfway through the journey, suddenly the sound of killing broke out, and the Bingzhou army rolled over the mountains and plains.?, I don¡¯t know how many people there are.  There were about 20,000 Bingzhou troops setting up an ambush in the mountains. They were commanded by four generals including Wang Shuang, Zhou Cang, Zhu Gongdao, and Lu Kuang. They charged at the Hebei-Qing coalition forces from four directions. The sound of killing was loud under the moonlight, and the two sides were entangled.  Together, it's hard to tell the winner for a while.  Zhao Yun escorted Jiang Yiqu to see Yuan Mai, and Sima Yi offered another plan: "Since Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have already mobilized, the camp must be empty. Jiang Yiqu can lead the way, falsely open the coalition camp, and go straight to the enemy's lair." "Zhongda's plan.  It's wonderful, the two generals Zilong and Junyi can act according to the plan, leaving only Yuan Zhi and Zhu Ling to guard the camp!" Yuan Mai dropped two command arrows and ordered Zhang He and Zhao Yun to rob the other side's camp.  Soon, Zhao Yun and Zhang He led 20,000 troops and drove Jiang Yiqu and others to the front of the coalition camp and ordered Jiang Yiqu to call the door.  The soldier guarding the gate recognized Jiang Yiqu, so he no longer had any doubts and quickly opened the camp gate.  As soon as the gate of the village was opened, Zhao Yun and Zhang He rushed in with their troops. Wherever they went, they were invincible. They killed the coalition forces and made them cry for their fathers and mothers. For a moment, they didn't understand what was going on?  "Set fire to the stronghold!" Zhao Yun ordered the fire while directing the troops to fight.  In a short time, the tents of the coalition forces began to burn one after another. One tent ignited ten, and ten ignited a hundred. The more they burned, the more they burned, and the more they burned, and the night sky turned red for a while.  The allied forces' equipment, equipment, and part of the food and grass suddenly turned into smoke and were burned.  Guo Tu and Pang Ji could not reverse the decline, so they had to lead the remaining defeated soldiers to abandon the camp and retreat towards the plain. They sent people to report to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, asking them to retreat quickly.  Their camp was blazing with flames. Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan knew something had happened in the rear without waiting for Guo Tu's scouts to report, so they hurriedly called for gold and retreated their troops.  The coalition forces had no intention of fighting. They fought and retreated along the way. They were chased by four troops in turn, including Wang Shuang, Zhou Cang, Zhu Gongdao, and Lu Kuang. They suffered countless casualties.  After finally getting rid of the entanglement of the pursuers, they ran into the troops who were robbing the camp. Zhao Yun and Zhang He rushed to kill them, losing another five to six thousand troops.  After paying a heavy price, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shangcai, like bereaved dogs, led the remaining defeated soldiers and retreated into Pingyuan City eighty miles away. While ordering to guard behind closed doors, they counted the losses.  After making statistics, we learned that the coalition forces lost more than 30,000 people in the battle last night, nearly half of them, and almost all their food, grass and baggage.  Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang knew that the situation was over, so they looked at each other, and for a moment they had nothing to say.  No one expected that the two brothers would fight over each other and end up making a wedding dress for someone else.  After a long time, Yuan Tan finally spoke: "You and I fought back and forth, but in the end we got the advantage of Yuan Mai, a sick man. Now that the Bingzhou army is strong, it is difficult to compete. I want to retreat back to Linzi to temporarily avoid his attack."  Tan had his own plan in mind. Judging from the situation, Jizhou couldn't win over Yuan's purchase, so he might as well return to Qingzhou to keep his one-third acre of land.  If Yuan Mai gets angry and sends his army into Qingzhou, even if he loses his territory, how can he talk about inheriting his father's business and becoming the overlord of the north?  Anyway, Jizhou is Yuan Shang's territory, so just let them fight each other. When both sides suffer, he may make a comeback and reap the benefits.  Yuan Shang naturally figured out Yuan Tan's thoughts clearly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, why did you say this? You and I are now in the same spirit, both prosperous and damaged. If you retreat one foot, Yuan Mai will surely advance one foot.  , after crossing the plain is your territory of Qingzhou. If you abandon the city, the Bingzhou army will march straight in, and Taishan County and Ji/Nan Kingdom will no longer be yours! When Yuan Mai's troops arrive at Linzi City, regret it.  "It's too late!" "We only have 80,000 troops in Qingzhou. I came to Jizhou to fight with 50,000 troops. After many battles, more than half of them have been lost. If there is another mistake, even the defense of Qingzhou will be ineffective."  I don't dare to compete with the sick man anymore." Yuan Tan expressed his worries with a worried look.  After losing most of the land in the west of Jizhou, Yuan Shang only had Pingyuan, Bohai, Leling, Anping, Hejian, Qinghe and other six places left in his hands. If Yuan Tan retreated and returned to Qingzhou, he would only be passively beaten, so Yuan Shang  No matter what, Yuan Tan must be persuaded to stay and fight side by side.  "Brother, don't panic. Isn't there a younger brother who will fight alongside you?" Yuan Shang patted Yuan Tan on the shoulder, looking like a fellow countryman who lives and dies together.  It's just ironic that just half a month ago, the two brothers were fighting for Yuan Shao's inheritance rights, and they were fighting for Yuan Shao's inheritance rights. It was either you die or I die. It seems that power is really a magical thing.  Brothers can become enemies, and enemies can become brothers.  "You only have 30,000 men in your hands, and with low morale, even if you and I join forces, it will be difficult to compete with the sick man." Yuan Tan expressed disappointment with the combat effectiveness of Yuan Shang's men. The strength of the Jizhou Army and his own Qingzhou Army are on par.  Between them, even if they unite, they may not be a match for the Bingzhou Army.    Yuan Shang quietly put his arm around Yuan Tan's shoulders and said softly: "Brother, don't worry, I still have a clever plan to defeat the sick man, please listen to me and tell me slowly." Anyway, there are only himself and Yuan Tan in the room, so this  If I don't listen to my words, insist on retreating to Qingzhou to protect myself, and leave myself on the front line to fight Yuan Mai to death, I'll just strangle him to death.  After Yuan Tan's death, it might be a good plan to seize his military power and then occupy Qingzhou as the basis for a comeback.  (To be continued)
