Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Pingyuan County is connected to Jizhou in the north, Yanzhou in the south, and the gateway to Qingzhou in the east, with the Yellow River running through it.

    A truly strategic location.

    On the day when Xia entered, Yuan Fang planted his flag at the head of Pingyuan City, the headquarters of Pingyuan County.

    Once Pingyuan City fell, the nearby Ande and Li counties were afraid of Yuan Fang's power and surrendered without a fight.

    With the exception of Xiping and Leling counties on the east coast, and Gaotang City on the south bank of the Yellow River, where Liu Bei retreated, half of the plain counties fell into Yuan Fang's hands.

    Now, Yuan Fang, the "Prefect of Pingyuan County", is finally no longer an empty title.

    After months of hard fighting, fighting externally against Liu Bei and Sun Gongzan, and internally against Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, Yuan Fang finally managed to break out of the cracks and seize his first piece of territory.

    Although there is only half of the county, Yuan Fang firmly believes that this half of the county is like a spark of fire that will burn into a sea of ????fire sooner or later.

    That night, Yuan Fang was sitting in the lobby of the county government, in the seat that originally belonged to Liu Bei, holding a grand celebration banquet, and taking stock of what he had gained in this battle with his generals.

    Pingyuan City is an important town, covers several counties, and has nearly 50,000 registered residents. This is naturally the biggest gain.

    In addition, Yuan Fang also killed three thousand enemies and captured nearly two thousand enemies in this battle, and gained countless weapons and weapons.

    If these two thousand captives are digested and compiled into his own troops, the number of troops in Yuan Fang's hands will reach the level of 10,000.

    In addition to these, there are additional gains.

    Shan Jing was beheaded, Liu Bei fled to Gaotang, and Pingyuan City fell without a fight. The hundreds of thousands of grain and grass accumulated in the city were all put into Yuan Fang's bag intact.

    That¡¯s hundreds of thousands of grain and grass. In this era of chaos and severe economic destruction, these grains and grass are even more important than soldiers.

    With this amount of food and grass, Yuan Fang will not have to worry about the food and grass being secretly deducted by Guo Tu and others for at least a few months, which makes him more confident.

    When Yuan Fang defeated Liu Bei in Yi County and planted the battle flag on Pingyuan City, spies from all directions in Pingyuan County quickly spread the shocking news.

    Yanzhou, Dongjun, Puyang City.

    In the lobby of the county government, a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion looked at the secret report in a silk book in his hand, his unfathomable eyes flashing with surprise.

    "I have met several of Yuan Benchu's legitimate sons, and they are all mediocre people. How come Yuan Fang suddenly appears and is so outstanding?" Cao Cao stroked his short beard and asked curiously.

    "When Yu was under Yuan Benchu's command, he only knew that he did have an illegitimate son named Yuan Fang. He just heard that this son was born lame and weak in nature, but he didn't expect that he kept it secret."

    The Confucian scholar who spoke was Xun Yu. He had resigned from Yuan Shao not long ago and came to Cao Cao. No one knew Yuan Shao's bottom line better than him.

    Hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao was even more surprised: "Even Wen Ruo didn't notice that Yuan Fang was hiding deep enough. It seems that he was hiding deep enough. He has this city at such a young age. It's not simple, it's not simple."  , It¡¯s really not simple¡±

    Cao Cao said "not simple" three times in a row. This was the first time in many years that he had such an evaluation of a person.

    "My lord has been invited by the Yanzhou scholars to take over the position of state pastor and deal with the Yellow Turban bandits. If Qingzhou is captured by Gongsun Zan, it will cause us a lot of trouble. Now Yuan Fang suddenly rises and restrains Gongsun Zan for us.  , which is a good thing.¡±

    Listening to Xun Yu¡¯s analysis, Cao Cao nodded slightly.

    Although Cao Cao is the governor of one county, he has both an ally and a subordinate relationship with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao arranged for him to be the governor of the east county in order to let him guard Yuan Shao's back and resist the threats from Yuan Shu and Tao Qian.  , so that Yuan Shao can concentrate on dealing with Gongsun Zan.

    In this sense, Gongsun Zan is also Cao Cao¡¯s enemy.

    "What Wen Ruo said makes sense, it seems necessary for me to send someone to make a good connection with Yuan Fang."

    Cao Cao agreed with Xun Yu's proposal, but murmured: "If we have this son now, and if he becomes powerful in the future, I'm afraid it will become a big problem for me"

    Jizhou, Longcuo.

    Thousands of soldiers from Yuan Army silently entered the camp that had just been set up, and their morale was low.

    Yuan Shao stood up immediately with a serious look on his face, as if he was worried.

    This time he led his army to the north, originally thinking that he could take advantage of the remaining power of the battle of Jieqiao to defeat Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop and annex Youzhou.

    Who would have thought that Gongsun Zan¡¯s family fortune was much richer than he imagined. In the Battle of Juma Water, he was severely defeated, with nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses killed or wounded.

    Yuan Shao, who was defeated, could only lead his troops to retreat in despair, all the way to Longcuo, and captured the newly recovered Hejian and other counties.??gave it to Gongsun Zan.

    Now that he has won a great victory, Gongsun Zan has regained his momentum and is leading the powerful Youzhou Army to pursue him southwards.

    Yuan Shao had no choice but to retreat and decided to camp at Longcuo to resist Gongsun Zan's Youyan cavalry.

    Entering the Chinese army's tent with a heavy heart, Yuan Shao put his helmet on the table and stared at the map without moving away, meditating on the strategy to defend against the enemy.

    In the tent, the generals and counselors did not dare to say anything for fear of offending Yuan Shao.

    In the silent atmosphere, Tian Feng suddenly rushed in excitedly. He held the silk book in his hand and said happily: "My lord, Qingzhou has been a great victory. The second young master defeated the enemy army a few days ago. He cut down a single war formation and killed countless enemies. He captured it in one fell swoop.  Pingyuan City!¡±

    The plains were captured?

    Yuan Fang, another big victory?

    In the big tent, everyone's body shook violently, their expressions changed with shock, they paused for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, things exploded.

    "Second Young Master is really amazing, he actually captured Pingyuan."

    "Yes, what kind of person is Shan Jing? He was a general under Gongsun Zan, and he was beheaded by the Second Young Master."

    "We were really wrong before. The second young master is really a talented general."

    In the big accounts, everyone has a lot of discussions, and they are all eye -catching for Yuan Fang. Even those who are Yuan Tan's faction have a lot of admiration to Yuan Fang.

    Of course, Yuan Shao also had a face full of surprise, with such shocked eyes, as if he couldn't believe that the good news he heard was true.

    It wasn¡¯t until he took the silk book from Tian Feng¡¯s hand and examined it carefully that Yuan Shao accepted this astonishing fact.

    "Xi'er had many soldiers and generals under his command, but he was defeated repeatedly in battles. He only had a few thousand soldiers and horses, and he had no good generals except Zhu Ling. He was able to defeat Shan Jing and capture the plain. How did he do it?  "

    Yuan Shao was filled with doubts and confusion, and he clutched the silk book tighter and tighter, as if there was a vague hatred brewing in his hands.

    "My lord, the second young master has achieved another great victory. My subordinates believe that the lord should give a generous reward to commend the second young master for his contribution." Tian Feng cupped his hands and persuaded.

    Yuan Shao was silent for a moment, but his expression returned to calm, and he simply said: "Didn't I already make him the governor of Pingyuan, and also added a new song to him?"

    "However, these rewards from my lord are for the great victory in Ganling last time. This time the second young master has won a great victory, shouldn't he be given another reward?" Tian Feng, who has always been impartial, insisted on admonishing.

    A trace of displeasure flashed across Yuan Shao¡¯s eyes.

    At this time, Xu You came out of the queue, cupped his hands and smiled and said: "The second young master should be rewarded for winning, but now the decisive battle with Gongsun Zan is imminent. If the lord repeatedly rewards the second young master, it will inevitably make the generals with foreign surnames think that the lord only  He is partial to his own parents and children, so you think it¡¯s better to let go of this reward for now.¡±

    As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shao immediately said: "Zi Yuan's words are reasonable. Let's do this. I will just compile a letter and praise him in writing."

    With that said, Yuan Shao sat down and started writing a letter.

    Tian Feng had no choice at this time. He just shook his head and sighed, and stepped aside helplessly.

    Yuan Shao wrote a letter and immediately sent people south to Pingyuan County.

    At this time, Yuan Fang was already reorganizing his troops and horses, preparing to cross the Yellow River and seize Gaotang, an important town on the south bank.

    The one-year period passed in the blink of an eye. At that time, Yuan Shao could justifiably recall him. Yuan Fang must strengthen his strength as much as possible in the remaining time. Only in this way can Yuan Fang have the capital to disobey Yuan Shao's orders.  .

    Prefect¡¯s Mansion.

    In the main hall, Yuan Fangzheng, Zhu Ling and other generals discussed the plan to cross the river and seize Gaotang.

    "Young Master has conquered the plains and achieved great success. My lord will definitely add more troops to you. By then, we will have enough troops to fight across the Yellow River." Zhu Ling said optimistically.

    But Yuan Fang disagreed and said: "My father has always looked down upon me. If he had won the battle, he might have given me more troops when he was happy. Now that he has lost the battle and returned to Longcuo in despair, he would have given me more troops."  Soldiers are weird."

    Zhu Ling and others were startled, all of them looked suspicious, and did not quite believe in Yuan Fang's judgment.

    At this moment, Yuan Gui hurried in and gave Yuan Fang the letter that Yuan Shao had just sent.

    Yuan Fang took it casually, glanced at it a few times, and sneered: "It's just as I expected. You can see for yourselves."

    He showed the letter to all the generals. Zhu Ling and others circulated it and looked at it. They all had dark eyebrows and changed their expressions, and they all looked angry.

    In the letter, there are just a few words of appreciation that are indifferent and easy to deal with.

    Apart from that, there is no mention of rewards based on merit.
