The dignified eldest son of the Yuan family turned out to be a eunuch?

All the soldiers and soldiers of Yuan invariably burst into this amazing idea in their minds. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

What this means.

This means that Yuan Tan, the eldest son, is not a man at all, a wasted person who has no children and grandchildren, how can he be worthy of inheriting the foundation of the Yuan family.

These soldiers of the Yuan family are actually fighting for a eunuch who has no future and no hope.

In an instant, the morale of the Yuan army suffered a heavy setback, and there was a lot of discussion in the city.

Yuan Tan was so embarrassed, he never thought that the Tao Chamber of Commerce would expose his scars at this time, and in front of the soldiers of the three armies, let him stand in a shameful state.

"Tao thief, you despicable and shameless thief, how dare you slander me like this, come on, give me an arrow, shoot that traitor!" Of course, Yuan Tan would not admit it, and in annoyance and anger, he scolded loudly at the bottom of the fight.

The crossbowmen woke up and hurriedly raised their crossbows, intending to shoot at the potter.

Outside the city, the potter had long expected that Yuan Tan would be annoyed and angry, and before he could react, he had already led his men and horses away, and in the blink of an eye, he had already run out of range.

"Yuan Tan, do you think that if you don't fight, I won't be able to help you, I will still frustrate your spirit......" The potter sneered, and turned his horse back to the camp.

Yuan Tan in the city was full of shame and indignation, so hated that he gritted his teeth, but he could only stare dryly and let the potter go.

Seeing the pottery merchant go away, Xu You secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered the words of the pottery merchant, and a trace of worry swept up in his eyes, approached Yuan Tan, and lowered his voice: "The eldest prince, could it be that the pottery thief really gave the eldest prince ...... Give ......"

The word "castration", Xu Yu has always been difficult to speak.

"The pottery thief clearly wants to deliberately humiliate me and demoralize my army, and you believe his nonsense!" Yuan Tan immediately reprimanded.

Xu You was choked with saliva all over his face, so he could only close his mouth stupidly, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that if Yuan Tan was really a eunuch, all their efforts would be in vain, and there would be no meaning.

It's just that Xu You believes it, but the soldiers on the left and right may not believe it, and the eyes that look at him are still difficult to hide their doubts.

Those pairs of questioning eyes made Yuan Tan Rumang on his back, and he was even more indignant in his heart, and he clenched his fists and scolded: "The pottery thief humiliates this son so much, it is really too deceitful, this son wants to lead the army out of the city and fight to the death with that traitor!" ”

Yuan Tan has always hidden the fact that he was castrated, that is, he was afraid that he would lose the opportunity to compete for the storage position, and he would lose face, so he has been hiding it since Qingzhou was castrated by pottery merchants.

He never imagined that the potter would openly expose it in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, disturb his military morale, and humiliate his face.

Stimulated by the questioning eyes of the soldiers, Yuan Tan was extremely annoyed and ashamed, and lost control of his emotions for a while, and he wanted to fight in anger.

Xu You was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The eldest prince is angry, the pottery merchant slanders the eldest prince like this, it is clearly his agitation method, he wants to provoke the eldest prince, and he fights in anger. ”

The sentence "wise and martial" set up a good ladder for Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan was just carried away for a moment, and he regretted it a little in a blink of an eye, but fortunately Xu You's advice was decent, so that he didn't lose face, and the fire in his stomach was forced.

He snorted coldly and looked out of the city, "The wishful thinking of the pottery thief, how can this son not see it, he wants to lure me to fight, I won't fight, my Liyang City has thick walls and plenty of grain and grass, I see what he can do to me." ”

"The eldest prince is wise." Xu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said busily and complimentingly.

Yuan Tan then went down to the city with his sleeves up, and at the same time ordered the whole army to be on strict alert, not to give orders, and never to fight, only to stick to Liyang.

At this time, the potter had already returned to the camp.

Although the appropriate means humiliated Yuan Tan and demoralized the Yuan army, the goal of inducing Yuan Tan to fight was still not achieved, and Liyang City was still a problem.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

"The walls of Liyang City are strong, my heavenly thunder cannon is useless, Yuan Tan refuses to fight, and he wants to break through this strong city for a while, but I am afraid that it will not be easy." Huo Quzhi frowned and said.

"Yuan Tan stubbornly defended Liyang and couldn't hold out, obviously he wanted to nail our army to Liyang City, and when our army division was in the old city, Yuan Shao, who was stationed in Neihuang, could take the opportunity to go south and defeat our army with both inside and outside, this should be Yuan Laogou's calculation." Gao Shun also analyzed.

"What do you think of the ovary?" The potter nodded slightly and looked at Zhang Fang.

"That's it, I said house, what can you do?" Fan Xu also shouted.

Since the victory of the previous battle to cross the river, Fan Hao has obeyed Zhang Liang's wisdom and trusts him completely, he has always liked to give others nicknames, but he always likes to call Zhang Liang a house.

Zhang Liang stared at the map for a long time, but smiled faintly: "Yuan Tan dares to stick to the city without fighting, it is nothing more than relying on the strength of Liyang City, but no matter how strong the city is, it is easiest to break through from the inside, and the intelligence does not claim that the grain in Liyang is only enough to support four months, and once the four months pass, even if the city wall is strong, can Yuan Tan still be able to defend it." ”

The potter's expression moved, and he immediately realized that Zhang Liang was persuading him to fight a protracted war, and use a long siege to exhaust the grain and grass in Liyang.

"In the battle of Guandu that year, Liang Gong and Yuan Shao fought for more than seven months, and finally the winner was decided, and Yuan Shao's strength was not weaker than the original Liang Gong, Liang Gong's strength today is not necessarily stronger than Yuan Shao at the beginning, and it is naturally unrealistic to destroy Yuan Shao in a short time, and it is the best policy to prepare for a long-term fierce battle." Zhang Liang analyzed again.

The potter nodded slightly, deeply convinced.

Yuan Shao is still strong, and this Northern Expedition, he is not so arrogant, vainly trying to sweep Hebei within a few months.

The battle of Guandu lasted for seven months, and it took several years for Yuan Shao to destroy Gongsun Zhan, and even when he drove Cao Cao out of the Central Plains, it took a year.

"The ovary is reasonable, if Yuan Shao is so easy to destroy, he is not worthy of being his father's opponent, Yuan Tan, if you want to consume it with me, then I will accompany you to the end, let's see who can't support it first." The potter has made up his mind.

At that moment, the potters gave the order to continue digging trenches and strengthening the siege of Liyang City, but stopped all frontal assaults, and implemented the strategy of besieging but not attacking, trapping and killing the enemy.

The pottery merchant then led an army of 50,000 to go down to the village on all sides of Liyang, and ordered Gao Shun and Li Guang to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to go down to the village in the north of Liyang City to monitor Yuan Shao, who was stationed in the inner Huangcheng.

Just before the potters besieged Liyang City to death, the fine work in the city had sent Yuan Tan's defeat out of the city and sent him to Neihuangcheng as soon as possible.

A few days later, outside the inner Yellow City, the Chinese army made a big tent.

Yuan Shaozheng set up a small banquet in the tent, drinking wine with the ministers, talking and laughing.

A few days ago, his nephew Gao Gan sent back the news, saying that since he arrived in Youzhou, with the assistance of Liu Bei, he recruited troops and horses, and his troops expanded rapidly, and even recruited Zhao Yun, the old general of Gongsun Zhan, to vote.

A few days ago, Gao Gan relied on the cavalry led by Zhao Yun to thwart a sneak attack by Zhang Yan, destroying 2,000 enemies.

Since the defeat of Guandu, Yuan Shao has not tasted victory for a long time, and this long-lost victory of Gao Gan, although it is not much, is enough to make Yuan Shao smile.

Yuan Shao in the big tent, high-spirited, as if the sick face was also swept away, and the ministers talked and laughed, reproduced the domineering arrogance of the hero, they have been talking about not long after, the pottery merchant old Liyang City, after the defeat and return, how he waved his army south, and took the opportunity to kill the blueprint of the Central Plains.

"Report-" The soldiers hurriedly entered, and arched their hands: "Liyang made an urgent report, not long ago, the eldest prince sent troops to block the enemy from crossing the river, but he fell into the trick of the pottery thief to lure the enemy, and lost 5,000 soldiers, and General Ju Yi was cut off an arm and was seriously wounded. ”

The smile on Yuan Shao's face instantly solidified into a color of anger, and the civilians and warriors who were drinking and laughing also changed color in an uproar.

In the big tent, there was silence for an instant.

"Incompetent, incompetent, you incompetent waste, you are simply unworthy of being my Yuan Benchu's son!" Yuan Shao, who was sober from his anger, scolded the case.

Feng Ji and other strategists from Hebei heard the news of Yuan Tan's failure, and they were all secretly proud.

Guo Tu and the other Ruying faction all changed color and were secretly anxious.

"Before the lord left, he strictly ordered the eldest prince to stick to Liyang and not to fight, why did the eldest prince have to fight?" Feng Ji took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Yuan Shao was really even more angry, and scolded him indisputably: "This useless waste, knowing that he is a thief and a traitor, still wants to be able to fight, and he broke my 5,000 soldiers, which is really infuriating!" ”

Now Yuan Shao is no longer as good as it was back then, 5,000 soldiers and horses is not a small number, it is equivalent to cutting a piece of meat on him, how can it not hurt.

"The eldest son, he is still so stubborn and self-serving, not like the lord at all, or the second son has the style of the lord." Feng Ji took the opportunity to fall into the well again, and praised Yuan Shang by the way.

Yuan Shao nodded again and again, and sighed: "This stinky boy who didn't have it, I knew that he was so incompetent, I shouldn't have sent him to guard Liyang Town in the first place." ”

"It's really a bit inappropriate for the eldest prince to go to war this time, but most of him also wants to use a victory to inspire our army, and he is also willing." Guo Tu was busy exonerating Yuan Tan.

Feng Ji looked solemn and worried: "The eldest prince is earnest, and he wants to show his ability in front of the lord, but it exposes his poor ability, and Liyang is an important town, and the relationship is very important, and there is no room for loss. ”

Feng Ji didn't want Yuan Tan to make meritorious contributions by guarding Liyang, so he turned around and persuaded Yuan Shao to transfer Yuan Tan back.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao's body was shocked, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, he pondered for a moment, and muttered in his mouth: "This waste is not up to such a heavy task, it seems that I have to choose another general to replace him in Liyang." ”

Just as Yuan Shao was pondering who to send to replace Yuan Tan, the soldiers rushed in and sent another piece of information.

That's the latest intelligence from Liyang:

After the potters crossed the river, the army quickly assembled, and within a few days, Liyangcheng was surrounded by water, cutting off contact with the outside world.

Yuan Shao's face was petrified, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "I hate this pottery thief, he used his soldiers so quickly, and surrounded Liyang to death so quickly!" ”

Liyang was surrounded into an iron bucket, which meant that Yuan Tan couldn't get out, others couldn't get in, and Yuan Shao's intention to replace Yuan Tan with another general was shattered.

"So far, the only way to do this is to let the eldest prince continue to guard Liyang, and it is not in line with the art of war to change generals in battle. I think that the eldest prince suffered a loss, and Xu Yu advised him from the side, he would not dare to fight again, as long as he did not fight, with 15,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, he would be able to hold Liyang. ”

Guo Tu was busy persuading from the side, of course he didn't want Yuan Tan to lose this last opportunity to regain his prestige.

Yuan Shao shook his head again and again, with a helpless expression, at this point, he didn't believe that his son had to believe it, because he had no choice.

After pondering for a long time, Yuan Shaoqiang cheered up, looked at the south proudly, and snorted coldly: "Pottery thief, even if you win a game, I have already strengthened Liyang as strong as a rock, I don't believe that you can break through, and when you are in the old city, it will be the time for me to settle accounts with you, and I will be ashamed of the snow official!" ”
