Chapter 375: Jia Xu offers a plan, and the three sons compete for the position
In October of the fifth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao's army, which intended to fight for the Central Plains, was defeated and retreated to Liyang and stationed there to collect the defeated army.
Thanks to Guo Tu taking the lead in Hebei to mobilize grain and grass, this stabilized the morale of Yuan Shao's army, and at the same time, Feng Ji, who escorted grain and grass with Guo Tu, also brought a message.
"Tian Feng is really in prison?" asked Yuan Shao with a gloomy face.
"Yes, my lord. Tian Feng heard the news of the defeat of the lord in prison, stroked his palms and laughed, and even sarcastically said that the lord did not listen to the persuasion to have such a defeat. Feng Ji waved his hand. In fact, Tian Feng did not do this, this qiē was framed by Feng Ji and Guo Tu, and the purpose was to position the first strategist in Hebei.
"Hmph!!" Yuan Shaosu had a good face, and after hearing Tian Feng taunt himself like this, he snorted angrily, then handed his sword to Yuan Tan beside him, and said.
After all, Tian Feng contributed to pacifying Hebei, so he gave him a decent way to die. Manifest, take my sword to the prison, and let him kill himself. ”
After Yuan Tan agreed, he proudly withdrew from the big tent. In the past, Tian Feng once offended Yuan Tan verbally and made the latter lose face in front of others, so now he is very satisfied with this errand.
"Alas...... Yuan Hao still couldn't escape this catastrophe. In Li Wei's tent, after hearing the news of Tian Feng's death, he sighed.
"Yuan Shao, this is self-destructing the Great Wall...... Li Wei said as he sat on the main seat.
"Will ...... What is the meaning of what the young master said this?" Frustrated thinking of his identity, he quickly changed his words.
"Sir doesn't need to be so restrained, a certain salutation doesn't pay much attention. After a pause, Li Wei continued.
"Among the strategists in Hebei, Mr. and Tian Feng are the pillars under Yuan Shao, but with Mr. serving under a certain command, Tian Yuanhao died, leaving only Guo Tu, Feng Ji and the three of them......;
……
In the fifth year of Jian'an, in November, Yuan Shao gathered the defeated army and gathered again in the Liyang camp. In the same month, Yuan Shao, for the sake of the shame of Yixue Guandu, decided to send 200,000 troops to the expedition again, intending to cross the Yellow River to the south and attack Cao Cao.
Cao Cao, who received the news, made a preemptive strike under Xun You's Jianyi, personally led an army of 100,000 to cross the Yellow River and stationed in Cangting on the opposite side, setting up a backwater array to meet Yuan Shao's army.
【Hidden Mission】
Kill Yuan Shao in the Battle of Cangting and accelerate the pace of Hebei unification
Task success: 50,000 general, special skill [Book of Six Arts Inheritance], mission failure: 100,000 general
"Special skills? What is this?" In the big tent, Li Wei, who was hiding aside to let go of the soy sauce spirit, couldn't help but be puzzled after hearing the task, and asked Raith in his consciousness.
"It's good for you anyway......" Reith replied lightly, then hid in Li Wei's consciousness, leaving the latter speechless for a while.
In the big tent, Cheng Yu offered a ten-sided ambush plan, and Cao Cao decided to give it a go and eliminate Yuan Shao's living force in one fell swoop.
Cao Cao divided the 90,000-strong army into two formations and ten teams on the left and right, the five teams on the left were Xiahou Xuan, Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin and Xiahou Yuan, and the five teams on the right were Li Wei, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Yu Ban and Cao Hong.
Xu Chu led two thousand death squads to Yuan Shao's camp to provoke, Yuan Shang was brave and had killed Shi Jian not long ago, and now he regarded himself as the world's first general, so he naturally couldn't stand Xu Chu's provocation, and gradually disobeyed Yuan Shao's order and took his cavalry out of the camp to meet Xu Chu.
Xu Chu led two thousand death squads to fight and retreat, Yuan Shang bit to the death, although Xu Chu shouted that it was not good, but secretly applauded Yuan Shang's actions.
Because of Yuan Shang's private actions, Yuan Shao had no choice but to dispatch a large army in advance, with his eldest son Yuan Tan as the front army, the Chinese army as his own leader, and the second son Yuan Xi as the rear army, and the whole army went out of the camp to pursue Cao Cao's army.
If you kill the enemy's commander, this prince will recommend his official promotion to the third level, reward him with !!one hundred taels of gold, and ten beautiful maids, "Officials, wealth, and beauties are all catalysts to stimulate men, not to mention that Yuan Shang made a move to kill all three, and naturally let his cavalry kill Xu Chu and his troops with red eyes.
Xu Chu saw that Yuan Shang's cavalry team suddenly became violent, so he could only let the death squad speed up to the ambush site.
"Oh no! Lord, I'm afraid there is a deception!! Just when the front army led by Yuan Tan and Yuan Shao's Chinese army had almost entered the ambush circle, Guo Tu suddenly shouted to Yuan Shao.
"Kill !!" Yuan Shao didn't open his mouth to ask, and the shouts of killing around him had already answered him.
"It's Cao Cao's ambush !! retreat! Withdraw to the camp quickly!!" Yuan Shao was not a straw bag, with the shouts of killing around him and Guo Tu's warning, he quickly understood.
Although Yuan Shao ordered the army to retreat in time, Cheng Yu's ambush on all sides did not allow Yuan's army to have this opportunity. The ten armies on the left and right scattered Yuan Shao's army into a state of fragmentation, and Yuan Shao of the Chinese army was even more tragically surrounded by the elite led by Xiahoudun and Li Wei. As for Yuan Shao's three sons, under the desperate protection of his own soldiers, they fled the battlefield first.
"Gong Yuan, don't come unharmed...... Since the tiger prison was closed, I didn't think that when I said goodbye, I was already on the battlefield hostile to the public. Yuan Shao still had his own soldiers by his side, and Li Wei walked out from behind the encirclement with a sense of authenticity.
"I also didn't expect that a soldier at the beginning had been ranked as a former general of the Han Dynasty in just a few years. If it weren't for your loyalty to Cao Cao at the beginning, I would have wanted to envelop you under his banner a long time ago. Perhaps knowing that he was unable to break through, Yuan Shao saw it instead. Ignoring the blood stains and mud on the ground, he sat directly on the ground while the personal soldiers beside him still loyally guarded Yuan Shao in the middle.
An Min is also very grateful for the grace of Yuan Gong's promotion at the beginning, so it is better for An Min to give Yuan Gong a ride. Li Wei got down from the back of the Absolute Shadow and slowly walked towards Yuan Shao, saying.
"Hahaha!! can get the world's first military general to give me a ride, Yuan Benchu died without regrets!! but the four generations of my Yuan family and the three dukes, if you want to die, you have to die with dignity!!" finished, without waiting for Li Wei and the soldiers around him to react, he immediately pulled out his sword and killed himself.
"Alas...... You are still ......!!!" Li Wei looked at Yuan Shao, who was lying in a pool of blood, originally wanted the latter's personal soldiers to bring his body back to Hebei, but he never thought that the next scene would make him directly shocked and speechless.
I saw that Yuan Shao's personal soldiers all pulled out their swords, put the sword horizontally around their necks, slashed hard, and then all fell to the ground.
"What a man of loyalty...... Pick up these warriors! If anyone insults the last dignity of these warriors, they will pay for !!their lives," Li Wei sighed and shouted to the whole army.
The "Nuo !!" soldiers are the most affectionate and loyal, so they loudly responded to Li Wei's orders.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, in December, the general Yuan Shao was surrounded by Sikong Cao Cao's army in Cangting, and finally committed suicide. After Yuan Shao's body was cleaned up by Li Wei, he carried it to Cao Cao and reported to the latter.
"There are so many righteous people in Hebei, if Japan first listened to the policy of Mr. Yuan Hao or Mr. Gonghe, how could Cao Cao have today's victory......" After Cao Cao finished his feelings, he asked the strategists about how to deal with Yuan Shao's corpse.
"Wenhe, what's the best plan?" Before the strategists could speak, Cao Cao asked Jia Xu again. It turned out that after Jia Xu surrendered to Cao Cao, he didn't offer a single strategy, and Cao Cao, who was suspicious by nature, naturally doubted Jia Xu's loyalty, so the above scene happened.
"The lord may wish to bur......y Yuan Shao with the gift of the third prince," Jia Xu said, waving his hand.
"Oh, what's the explanation?" Cao Cao didn't understand Jia Xu's intentions, and asked one by one.
"Ahem!ahem!ahem!I see...... It is worthy of the ghost plot of Xiliang. Without waiting for Jia Xu to speak, Guo Jia, who suffered from the wind cold because of the cold weather, understood.
"In that case, it is better for Mr. Guo Jia to explain. Jia Xu said with a smile, making Li Wei worthy of Jia Xu, who knows the way of self-preservation.
"Ahem!ahem!ahem!Wenhe, don't toss me...... It's better for you to figure it out for yourself. Guo Jia coughed a few times and shook his head.
"If the lord holds a funeral for Yuan Shao with the gift of the three dukes, firstly, it can collect the hearts of the people of Hebei and the loyalty of those who are loyal to Yuan Shao, and secondly, it can also allow Yuan Shao's third son to compete for the position of the lord of Hebei without any worries, especially the battle between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will definitely make the morale of the military and civilians in Hebei lose and the people's morale will be weakened, which will have an opportunity for the lord to take advantage of. Jia Xu couldn't shirk it, so he could only open his mouth to explain the deep meaning of this move to everyone.
In the sixth year of Jian'an, in the first month, Cao Cao chose a feng shui treasure for Yuan Shao near Xudu to bury him, and asked the court for Yuan Shao to be posthumously honored by 'Marquis Ye' and 'General Zhenbei', which was his last affirmation of this former friend.
In the same month, Yuan Shang, who returned to Yecheng, was supported by the trial and Feng Ji, and first announced that he inherited Yuan Shao's official title, and succeeded him as the general and Jizhou pastor. Because Yuan Tan entered Yecheng one step slowly, he lost the opportunity but was unwilling to be commanded by Yuan Shang, and issued a letter calling himself the general of the chariot and cavalry and the pastor of Qingzhou in the Liyang camp, and mobilized the army to garrison in Liyang, and approached Yecheng to confront Yuan Shang.
As for Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi did not favor either side, and still served as the Youzhou pastor that Yuan Shao had given him before, which gave him a temporary backbone for a while.
Cao Cao obeyed Guo Jia's construction and adopted the strategy of watching the fire from the other side, and the whole army retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River, so that Yuan's two sons, the sandpiper and the clam fight, killed each other, and then reaped the benefits of the fishermen himself.
