Hou Hu came to Yuan Shao's camp to sneak attack, it was a secret matter, Hou Hu also discussed with Yang Ke and Tang Wang, two lieutenant generals, before leaving the city, the three thousand soldiers were suddenly assembled, and they didn't know that they were going out of the city to sneak attack, so it was impossible to ventilate. Of course, if Yuan Shao calculated that Hou Hu would go out of the city to sneak attack, this is also a normal thing, after all, there are many strategists under Yuan Shao's command, and it is normal to be able to calculate it. However, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to calculate which direction Hou Hu is going to attack Yuan Shao's camp, right?

When he was in the city, Hou Hu, Yang Ke and Tang Wang made many calculations and discussions, and finally decided to attack Yuan Shao's camp. This position, for Hou Hu, has more than enough to attack and retreat, but it is not the best position. Even if it was calculated that Hou Hu was going to attack the camp, it would never be possible to calculate it so accurately, and he could still make such adequate preparations in advance. Therefore, after knowing the scheme, Hou Hu was already guessing in his heart that he had been betrayed. After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Hou Hu understood that he was really betrayed.

Hou Hu had a cold face and asked in a hissed voice: "Yuan Tingshi, I don't know who reported the news, Yang Ke or Tang Wang, can you let someone understand?"

Yuan Shao nodded and said sincerely: "General Hou, what I said before remains unchanged, and I still hope that General Hou can surrender to me." In order to show sincerity, I can clearly tell General Hou that this whistleblowing was carried out by Yang Ke and Tang Wang at the same time. If General Hou surrenders to me, I can hand over these two to General Hou to send them down, how about it?"

"Hateful!

Hou Hu roared angrily at the sky, and then shook his head. Righteous words said: "The two of them are unkind, and they will never be unjust." The lord handed over the heavy responsibility to so-and-so, but so-and-so lived up to the trust of the lord. It's more than innocent. Now that Beiqiao City will be lost, a certain person does not want to see it lost in front of a certain eye. ”

Hou Hu muttered to himself, then looked at Yuan Shao, and said sincerely: "Yuan Tingshi, there is a reluctant request, and I hope Yuan Tingshi can agree!"

Yuan Shao looked at Hou Hu and nodded, "What does General Hou have to say?" But it doesn't matter, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"

"Thank you for the kindness of Yuan Thorn Shi!"

Hou Hu hugged his fists at Yuan Shao and bowed. Then he looked back at the three thousand soldiers behind him, and said with emotion: "Yuan Tingshi, these soldiers are innocent, and they are willing to die." I beg Yuan Tingshi to let them go. If they are willing to surrender to Yuan Thorn History. You can follow Yuan Tingshi, and if you don't want to, I hope that Yuan Tingshi will let them go, let them become ordinary people, and live an ordinary life, I wonder if Yuan Tingshi can agree?"

"Good!"

Yuan Shao nodded vigorously, looked around at the soldiers under his command, and said loudly: "I hereby promise General Hou, as long as there are no soldiers who are enemies of this assassin history." Those who are willing to surrender can join the army of the Thorn History, and the Thorn History will treat them well, if they do not want to. You can unload your armor and return to the field, and this assassin history will never be embarrassed!"

"Thank you Yuan Thorn History, there is no retribution in this life, if there is an afterlife, I am willing to tie the grass ring!"

Hou Hu bowed to Yuan Shao again, looked back at the three thousand soldiers under his command, and there were already tears in the tiger's eyes. Then, Hou Hu decisively drew his sword from his waist, crossed it to his neck, and fell down.

"General!"

"General!

When they saw Hou Hu die so heroically in front of him, Hou Hu's three thousand soldiers all knelt down and wept in unison. As a soldier, the best destination is undoubtedly to die on the battlefield, and Hou Hu is willing to kill himself on the spot for the sake of 3,000 soldiers, how can he not be moved if he is not a person with a heart like iron and stone? Even the men and horses on Yuan Shao's side have sympathy and emotion on their faces when they see Hou Hu's actions.

"General Hou is really a benevolent and righteous man, Shao admires it very much!"

Yuan Shao looked at Hou Hu's gradually cold body, jumped off the horse with emotion, and bowed slightly to Hou Hu's corpse to express his respect for Hou Hu.

"I have promised General Hou, if you have any decision, I will never stop you!" Yuan Shao looked at the three thousand crying Hou Hu soldiers and said loudly.

The three thousand soldiers looked at Yuan Shao, but there was no response. Among them, several of Hou Hu's cronies, generals at the rank of captain in the army, looked at each other, and finally bowed to Yuan Shao in unison.

"We are willing to follow Yuan Tingshi, and we want to see with our own eyes the fate of the two traitors, Yang Ke and Tang Wang!"

"I'm willing to follow Yuan Tingshi!"

Three thousand soldiers shouted in unison with grief and indignation.

There were 5,000 soldiers in Beiqiao City, and the 3,000 soldiers brought out by Hou Hu were all soldiers close to Hou Hu. Most of the soldiers were veterans who followed Hou Hu on the alien battlefield at the beginning, and their feelings for Hou Hu were naturally very deep, while the other 2,000 soldiers in Beiqiao City, 1,000 of each were close to Yang Ke and Tang Wang. Now that Hou Hu died tragically because of Yang Ke and Tang Wang's ventilated messages, these 3,000 soldiers are naturally resentful of Yang Ke and Tang Wang.

"Okay, since you are willing to follow me, I will not treat you badly, and I will treat you as if you were my own soldiers!"

Yuan Shao said loudly, and then shouted: "The army is leaving, ready to enter the city!"

When Yuan Shao led the army to the outside of Beiqiao City, the gate of Beiqiao City had already been opened. Yang Ke and Tang Wang each led a thousand soldiers under their command and were waiting for them.

"Welcome to Yuan Tingshi!"

Seeing Yuan Shao coming, Yang Ke and Tang Wang both greeted them with flattery on their faces. Now Yuan Shao and Yuan Chang led a total of 200,000 troops to attack Youzhou, Yuan Chang has taken Rongcheng, from the overall situation, it seems that Gongsun Chan is at a disadvantage. After analyzing the two, Yang Ke and Tang Wang decided to betray Gongsun Zan without hesitation and turn to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was born in the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, and he was a strong potential stock, and Yang Ke and Tang Wang were naturally diligent.

"Where are Wen Chou and Yan Liang, take down these two shameless people who are unkind, unrighteous, disloyal and unfilial!"

However, before Yang Ke and Tang Wang could react, Yuan Shao had already shouted. Wen Chou and Yan Liang, who had been prepared for a long time, drew their knives and stepped forward and took down Yang Ke and Tang Wang.

The soldiers under the command of Yang Ke and Tang Wang were stunned when they saw this. Then they all drew their weapons and looked at Yuan Shao on guard.

"Yuan Tingshi, what's going on?"

"Yuan Tingshi, we are our own people. Don't do it!"

Yang Ke and Tang Wang were also stunned, and after being stunned for a moment, Yang Ke and Tang Wang hurriedly shouted loudly. It's no wonder that the two of them are in a hurry, Wen Chou and Yan Liang's blades are on their necks, as long as they move slightly, they can say goodbye to the world. Of course, Yang Ke and Tang Wang were also a little puzzled. They have all taken refuge in Yuan Shao, how can they still have such treatment?

"Ahh

"Shouting again. Ben will know you, but Ben will not recognize you with his blade!"

Wen Chou and Yan Liang each gave Yang Ke and Tang Wang an elbow, and their faces were deformed. However, I listened to the words of Wen Chou and Yan Liang. The two of them really didn't dare to continue shouting. I was afraid that Wen Chou and Yan Liang's blades would give them results in the next second. Yang Ke and Tang Wang didn't speak, but looked at Yuan Shao with puzzled eyes, expecting Yuan Shao to give them a reasonable explanation.

"Humph!"

Yuan Shao snorted coldly, but he didn't look over his head and didn't speak. Feng Ji, who was standing behind Yuan Shao, took a step forward and counted the crimes of Yang Ke and Tang Wang.

"The two of you, as the courtiers of Gongsun Zhan, surrendered for no reason, and you were disloyal. But. Remembering that you know the general situation, you know that my lord is a teacher of justice. However, as the officials of Beiqiao City, the people are your food and clothing, and you surrender without the consent of the people, it is unfilial piety; the two of you under your command trust you and follow you, but you have made such a rebellious act and left them rebellious deeds, which is unkind; General Hou Hu treats you like brothers and sisters, but you two report to my lord, it is unjust. What kind of face does such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous guy have to survive in this world?"

Now the initiative is in Yuan Shao's hands, and Yuan Shao can say whatever he wants. If it is a famous general, Yuan Shao will definitely take it for his own use. However, Yang Ke and Tang Wang have no talent, and their ability to steer the rudder is very strong, Yuan Shao naturally looks at the two of them unpleasantly, and it makes sense that he is ready to get rid of these two now.

"Yuan Tingshi, wronged! The two of us are sincerely taking refuge and loyal, and I hope that Yuan Tingshi will spare the two of us!"

"Yuan Tingshi, spare your life!"

Yang Ke and Tang Wang were able to surrender at the opportunity, obviously not idiots, and they also saw that Yuan Shao was going to use the lives of the two of them to obtain the loyal ministers of Hou Hu's 3,000 soldiers. Compared with two useless young generals, the role of three thousand soldiers is even greater. Therefore, Yang Ke and Tang Wang were busy begging for mercy.

"My lord thinks that you two are sincere to vote, and I can spare your lives!"

Feng Ji said lightly, and the faces of Yang Ke and Tang Wang suddenly appeared happy, and it seemed that they could save their lives. However, before the two of them were surprised, Feng Ji's next sentence made them fall into an ice cellar.

"However, my lord has spared you both. Then, I would like to ask whether General Hou Hu's 3,000 soldiers are willing to spare you? Are the 2,000 soldiers under the command of the two of you willing to spare you? Are the hundreds of people in the city willing to spare you? If everyone is willing to spare you, you two will not be guilty. Otherwise, you're dead!"

Hearing Feng Ji's words, Yang Ke and Tang Wang suddenly looked desperate! In addition to the 1,000 soldiers under their respective commands, Hou Hu's 3,000 soldiers, and the people of Beiqiao City, how could they let go of these two traitors seeking glory? Their fate was obvious! However, Yang Ke and Tang Wang later realized that they were actually thinking too much!

"Kill these two dog thieves, disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous people, and live in this world with face!"

"Kill them and avenge General Hou!"

"Kill them, I'm ashamed to be with them!"

Yang Ke and Tang Wang were shocked to find that it was not only Hou Hu's 3,000 soldiers who strongly demanded that Yuan Shao kill Yang Ke and Tang Wang. Even the 1,000 soldiers under their respective commands had a strong plea to kill Yang Ke and Tang Wang.

In fact, the thoughts of these soldiers can also be understood.

Although they are close to Yang Ke and Tang Wang, they still belong to the same camp, and everyone ultimately serves Gongsun Zhan. However, now they find that Yang Ke and Tang Wang have made rebellious acts for the sake of their own wealth. In today's era, the most important thing is faithfulness, and everyone puts faith in the forefront. But Yang Ke and Tang Wang did treachery. Therefore, except for a few of the two people's cronies, the 5,000 soldiers of Beiqiao City basically agreed to kill Yang Ke and Tang Wang.

"Humph!"

Feng Ji sneered, looked at Yang Ke and Tang Wang with disdain, and mocked: "You see, the soldiers who originally supported you are going to kill you two unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial guys." What else do you have to say?"

I have to say that the struggle between Yuan Shao's subordinates is fierce, and everyone wants to become the person who controls the real power under Yuan Shao's command. But. Throughout the development of history, it can be found that in addition to Xu You, the wall grass, when Yuan Shao was defeated, Yuan Shao's strategists. It seems that no one has taken refuge in Cao Cao. Nine times out of ten, they would rather die, and they also preserved the integrity of the literati. This has to be said to be a success point for Yuan Shao. However, it is also a bit ironic to say that it was supposed to be a military general with a broken head and bleeding, but nine times out of ten he took refuge in Cao Cao. Compared with several other forces, it is a bit reversed!

Let's just say that Liu Bei and Sun Quan were under their command, when they were defeated. Usually those who surrender are civilian officials, and military generals are basically fighting to the death. And Yuan Shao here. But it's the other way around, which is a little strange. However, regardless of anything else, the surrender of Yang Ke and Tang Wang was not recognized by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao's subordinates, so it can be predicted that the fate of the two of them is already doomed!

Yuan Shao glanced at Yang Ke and Tang Wang, and said indifferently: "Yan Liang, Wen Chou, if you don't do it at this time, when will you wait!"

Hearing Yuan Shao's order, Yan Liang and Wen Chou raised their knives at the same time, and then, under the splash of blood, the heads of Yang Ke and Tang Wang were separated, Yan Liang and Wen Chou grabbed one head, and the scene was a little bloody.

"Hang their heads above the city, and tell everyone that this is what happens to the betrayals, and that no one will have mercy on them!"

After speaking, Yuan Shao rode his horse into Beiqiao City.

After sending his subordinates to pacify the people of Beiqiao City, Yuan Shao naturally summoned his subordinates to discuss the next action.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Northbridge City has fallen, what should we do next?"

When he attacked Beiqiao City before, he was seized by Feng Ji and played a majestic role. Now that Yuan Shao asked again, the others were naturally not far behind, and Yuan Shao's voice fell, and Guo Tu was the first to stand up. And several other people, such as Feng Ji and Judge, also wanted to show that they were one step slower, and they could only retract their steps with hatred.

"My lord, now that our army has just taken Beiqiao City, the people in the city have not yet been completely pacified. Now our army can temporarily rest and recuperate here, stabilize the people's hearts, and wait for the arrival of the logistics troops, and then send troops. ”

Guo Tu's words meant to rectify Beiqiao City and appease the people, which seemed to be normal. However, the strategists present only used their brains a little to understand Guo Tu's thoughts.

Guo Tu said that he was rectifying in Beiqiao City, but in fact, there were two real purposes.

The first reason is that like Yuan Chang, first stabilize the people's hearts and buy the people's hearts. Although it is said that according to the agreement, Youzhou belongs to Yuan Chang, but Beiqiao City is the border city of Youzhou and Jizhou, if Yuan Shao and Yuan Chang break up in the future, the foundation laid in Beiqiao City now can be used in the future. Moreover, the development of Beiqiao City into Yuan Shao's base can also add blockage to Yuan Chang, why not? The second reason is that Yuan Shao can stop for the time being, so that Yuan Chang can advance first, and let Yuan Chang fight Gongsun Zhan in front of him, and Yuan Shao then jumps out to pick up ready-made benefits and save his troops, isn't it a good thing?

Yuan Shao glanced at Guo Tu lightly, and said lightly: "My brother Chengzhi is very human, and there is Guo Fengxiao under his command to give advice, if we are stagnant, how can my brother Chengzhi not know our thoughts? If it delays time and gives Gongsun Chan a chance to breathe, it will be detrimental to our army. So, it's not feasible!"

Yuan Shao's words are very clear, Yuan Chang can see that his own approach has delayed the battle situation, but it is not good for his own side. Therefore, Yuan Shao simply rejected Guo Tu's suggestion.

After listening to Yuan Shao's words, Guo Tu retreated with a red face. Guo Tu also thought about Yuan Shao, but he didn't think about Yuan Chang's problem, and he took it for granted and treated Yuan Chang as a fool. After listening to Yuan Shao's words, Guo Tu suddenly remembered that Yuan Chang was no longer the cowering and flattering Yuan Chang of the past. Today's Yuan Chang is also a force, and he can be on an equal footing with Yuan Shao.

Feng Ji and the others saw that Guo Tu was deflated, and immediately sneered, Guo Tu also wanted to show his face in front of Yuan Shao, but he was deflated. At that moment, Feng Ji raised his feet, ready to offer advice again, so as to stabilize his position. However, the trial is one step faster than Feng Ji, Feng Ji can only retract his feet in a daze, and secretly said in his heart, there are really many people who have grabbed business these years!

"The lord is wise, now that our army is united with Yuan Taishou, we should be sincere, so that we can be invincible. Moreover, when Youzhou is taken, Yuan Taishou can help the lord to take the two places of Bingzhou and Qingzhou. Therefore, our army should take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Youzhou as soon as possible, so that the lord can sit and annex the two places of the state and Qingzhou, so as to strengthen his strength, compete with all forces, save the Son of Heaven from the hands of thieves, and achieve a hegemony!"

Reviewing the allocation, he also glanced at Guo Tu proudly. If it weren't for Guo Tu throwing stones to ask for directions, the strategists present were actually thinking of preserving their own strength and letting Yuan Chang charge into battle. However, with Guo Tu's previous experience, everyone will naturally not mention this stubble again.

"What Zhengnan said is very much in line with my opinion, Zhengnan said so, I think there is a good plan. I'd like to hear it, just south. Yuan Shao stroked his palm and agreed with the words of the trial, which made the trial proud.

"Lord!"

The judge made a salute, looked around, glanced at the civil and military forces present, pointed to the map, and said in high spirits: "After Beiqiao City, there is no strong city, and our army can take it in one fell swoop." Only the high walls of the old Anseong city are thick, and it may be difficult to capture it for a while. However, Anseong did not have much impact on the advance of our army, and the only thing to worry about was whether the enemy would pursue from the rear after our army passed, thus causing a flanking attack on our army. Therefore, the subordinates thought that they could send a general to besiege the city, and the lord could lead the army and continue to advance. Therefore, after Ancheng, there is Yu County, which is the only place to go to Gongsun Zhan's original station, perhaps, Gongsun Chan will bury heavy troops here, and the lord should think about it. ”

After listening to the words of the trial, Yuan Shao nodded again and again, even if he wanted to steal the limelight with the trial, he could only agree with the words of the trial.

Seeing this, the trial was even more embarrassed, and continued to say in high spirits: "Looking at Yuan Taishou's marching route again, after Rongcheng, the troops can be divided into two roads. One way from the northeast, through the square city can reach the east gate of Zhuoxian, while the other road is from the northwest direction, can meet with our army in the county, and our army in a two-sided attack, besiege the county. In this way, it must be difficult to defend the county, but it can be fought down. After taking Zhuo County, our army can divide its troops with Yuan Taishou and attack Zhuo County from two directions. At that time, the lord and Yuan Taishou 200,000 troops formed a three-sided encirclement to attack Zhuo County, even if Zhuo County is strong, Gongsun Zhan has three heads and six arms, it is difficult to resist. As long as Zhuo County is taken, there will be no obstacles all the way thereafter, and you can kill all the way to Jixian County. Jixian is the last nest of Gongsun Zhan, as long as Jixian is taken, Youzhou can be captured. In this way, it will not be far from the lord to take the state and Qingzhou!"

"Haha!"

After listening to the narration of the judges, Yuan Shao immediately stroked his palms and laughed.

"Zhengnan's plan is very good, I have Zhengnan, why worry about Youzhou's injustice? This attack on Youzhou, Zhengnan's commander-in-chief is military, and Zhengnan is fully responsible for everything, so I don't have to worry about it!"

When they heard that Yuan Shao had handed over all the power of the military to the trial, the strategists were jealous.

Originally, the military affairs under Yuan Shao's command were handed over to the military advisor Lu Zhi to control. However, because of Lu Zhi's illness, he did not go out with the army this time, and since then, Yuan Shao has not decided on the head of military affairs, and the strategists under Yuan Shao's command are also gearing up to compete for this opportunity. Who knows, because of the words of the trial, Yuan Shao made up his mind and handed it over to the trial, which naturally made others indignant.

"The army rests for a day and will set out tomorrow. In addition, you can send an envoy to my brother's army, informing Zhengnan of the plan, so that my brother and our army can meet in Juxian County and break up!"

Yuan Shao's 150,000-strong army rested in Beiqiao City for a day, and then continued to set off the next day. And this time, the only thing that is different is that the military affairs of the 150,000-strong army are all under the control of the judges.

The news of Yuan Shao's capture of Beiqiao City here was also delivered to Gongsun Zhan that night. (To be continued......)
