Chapter 297: The self-righteous father and son of the Yuan family
Guandu, the main camp of the Yuan army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao was standing in front of the screen, scanning the map while playing with the wine glass in his hand.
His expression was quite confident and idle.
He seemed to have seen that his eldest son led 30,000 male soldiers, invincible and invincible, and had copied the pottery merchant's lair.
"Potter, I really want to see what kind of angry expression you will have after learning that Suiyang has fallen......"
The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth hooked a cold smile, raised the wine glass, took a shallow sip, and asked without looking back: "Where is Tan'er now, is it still far from Suiyang?" ”
"According to the news sent back yesterday, the eldest prince's soldiers and horses have passed through Bo County, and with his marching speed, he may have arrived in Suiyang at this moment, and maybe the good news is already on the way." Xu You, who was behind him, smiled and gestured on the map.
He smiled confidently, as if he was expecting things like a god, and Yuan Tan's victory was bound to win.
Yuan Shao nodded slightly, very satisfied, and took another sip of wine, "As soon as Suiyang is broken, Tan Er's army can drive south and take Chen Guo directly, and then the door will be wide open, potter, potter, I see how you can deal with it." ”
With a happy heart, Yuan Shao couldn't help but laugh when it came to being proud.
"With the ability of the eldest son, coupled with Liu Xuande's assistance, he will be able to succeed immediately." Xu Yu hurriedly followed, and praised Yuan Tan a few more words by the way.
Guo Tu and other Ruying scholars praised Yuan Tan Yingwu and Yuan Shao's style.
Feng Ji and other Hebei scholars were uncomfortable to listen to, and on the surface they laughed with each other, but secretly they all looked scornful.
"Report-Suiyang urgently report-" The scout rushed in, interrupting Yuan Shao's laughter.
"Did Tan Er take Suiyang so quickly?" A look of surprise flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes.
"My lord, the eldest prince fell into the enemy's tricks, the army was defeated, more than half of the soldiers were lost, and now he has retreated to Bo County, and the pottery merchant is personally leading an army of 20,000 to advance."
Bang!
The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and Yuan Shao's expression froze in a moment of stunnedness.
Yuan Tan, unexpectedly defeated!?
Yuan Shao looked stunned, he almost couldn't believe his ears, and at that moment, he thought he had a delusion.
"You are talking nonsense, how dare the pottery merchant send 20,000 soldiers and horses to Suiyang, how dare he go in person, doesn't he want the main camp of Guandu?" Xu You was also surprised, and roared in surprise.
"The information is written by the eldest prince himself, how dare the little one talk nonsense, the urgent report is here." The scout was so frightened that he hurriedly presented the silk book.
Without waiting for the soldiers to present it to Yuan Shao, Xu You strode forward and snatched the silk book from his hand.
With just one glance, the doubts on Xu You's face were gone, and Tie Qing's face was only filled with endless consternation in the blink of an eye.
"How can this be, how can the pottery thief be so bold, how can it be......" Xu You, who was stunned, muttered to himself, but forgot to present the silk book to Yuan Shao.
Looking at his expression, Yuan Shao's face became more and more pale, and he stepped forward in a few steps and snatched the silk book from Xu You's hand.
Yuan Tan said in the silk book that according to Tian Feng's judgment, he expected that there could not be too many defenders in Suiyang City, so he was relieved to attack boldly.
Unexpectedly, just when he was attacking the city, suddenly there were two ambushes of the Tao army, and a cavalry came out, and under the personal command of the pottery merchant, he was caught off guard.
The cruel fact is that even Yuan Tan admitted that he was defeated.
However, Yuan Tan's message was very ingenious, and he quietly pushed the responsibility to Tian Feng, saying that the responsibility for the defeat was not his own, but Tian Feng's misjudgment.
"Tian Yuanhao, see for yourself." Yuan Shao glared at Tian Feng angrily and threw the silk book to him.
Tian Feng, who was also shocked, picked up the silk book tremblingly, looked down carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more angry his face became.
Surprisingly, the potters had the courage to ignore the main camp of Guandu and personally lead 20,000 troops to Suiyang.
Angry, his judgment was wrong again.
At the beginning, he confidently offered advice to Yuan Shao, saying that the pottery merchant would not dare to send too many soldiers and horses to guard Suiyang, but now, the pottery merchant used a big defeat to slap him in the face and humiliate him, the best strategist in Hebei.
"Tian Yuanhao, tell me, what's going on?" Yuan Shao glared, complaining with annoyance.
Tian Feng looked embarrassed, and he didn't know how to explain it.
At this time, Feng Ji couldn't stand it anymore, his eyes rolled, and he sighed: "Although the pottery thief transferred 20,000 soldiers and horses, but the eldest prince has 30,000 male soldiers, even if he is defeated, Tian Yuanhao's misjudgment cannot be blamed, this is more or less due to the lack of ability of the eldest prince, if he had sent generals like Yan Liangwen Chou to lead the army, he would not have been defeated so badly." ”
Feng Ji said a few words, and kicked half of the responsibility for the defeat to Yuan Tan.
Xu You frowned, wanting to refute, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
Yuan Shao's fist had already hit the case, "You're right, Tan Er is more than brave, not calm enough, he is indeed not the opponent of the pottery thief, I should not have sent him to ...... if I knew it"
Seeing that Yuan Shao blamed Yuan Tan again, Xu You's eyes rolled and he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the pottery thief is bold and dares to lead the army to Suiyang, then the main camp of Guandu must be empty, we just asked the eldest prince to drag the traitor in Bo County, and the lord did his best to attack the enemy camp in Guandu. ”
Yuan Shao's face was slightly angry, he pondered for a moment, his face couldn't help but turn from gloomy to sunny, and he slapped the case a few times, and said coldly: "The pottery thief is bold, then I will let him pay the price for his arrogance, and order the generals to pour out of the nest for me, and attack the enemy camp together." ”
Yuan Shao immediately summoned Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Jaw, Gao Ran and other generals to convey the news that the pottery merchants were not in Guandu, and ordered them to lead their troops to attack the enemy camp.
When the order was issued, Tian Feng always felt that it was inappropriate, so he said: "Lord, that pottery thief has always been treacherous, since he dared to personally lead the army to Suiyang, he should have expected that we would take the opportunity to attack his main camp, but I am afraid that he has already been prepared, according to Feng's plan, for the time being, he must not act rashly, so as not to break the camp and hurt morale." ”
Yuan Shao was stunned, and his expression began to hesitate again.
Xu You didn't give him time to think, and said hurriedly: "Tian Yuanhao, you also think too highly of that traitor, even if he has been prepared, our hundreds of thousands of troops will attack together, can't we break the enemy camp guarded by only 20,000 people, and you are too unconfident in the combat effectiveness of our army." ”
Tian Feng's words were sluggish, and he was speechless for a while.
At this time, Yuan Shao's face was full of suspicion, and he waved his hand and shouted: "This God-given opportunity, how can I miss it, you don't have to fight anymore, I have made up my mind, the whole army is exhausted, I must capture Guandu in one go!" ”
Tian Feng had no choice but to shake his head and sigh secretly, and silently retreated from the tent.
……
Bo County.
After the defeat of Suiyang, Yuan Tan retreated more than 70 miles in a row, and retreated to Bo County in one go, counting soldiers and horses, and losing nearly 10,000 soldiers.
"Fortunately, Xu Yu reacted quickly, and my father didn't blame them too much, it is estimated that my father will be able to break through Guandu in a few days, but it's a pity that this great work is not my share." Yuan Tan put down the secret report in his hand and sighed.
Liu Bei in front of the tent smiled and said with relief: "The eldest prince is here to drag the pottery thief, it is also a credit, besides, once the official crossing is broken, the pottery thief will inevitably retreat, and when the eldest prince takes advantage of the victory to pursue, is there no merit." ”
"Xuande is right." Yuan Tan turned his worries into joy, raised his glass to Liu Bei and said with a smile: "Xuande, thanks to you for dragging that slut for me that day, you are good to me, I will not forget it, I respect you for this cup." ”
Yuan Tan didn't mention it, as soon as he mentioned this matter, Liu Bei had palpitations, thinking about the injury on his shoulder, thinking about his embarrassment at that time, and disgusted Yuan Tan in his heart.
"The eldest prince is serious, and the eldest prince is a friend of life and death, and some small things are really not worth mentioning." Although he was disgusted in his heart, Liu Bei was extremely righteous in his mouth.
"Xuande, you are a friend of life and death, I Yuan Tan has made up my mind!" Yuan Tan was greatly moved, raised his head and poured all the wine.
When he was drinking with Liu Bei, the soldiers outside came to report, saying that Ju Yi led the first camp to arrive and was asking to see him outside.
"Hurry up and ask General Ju to come in." As soon as Yuan Tan heard Ju Yi's name, he quickly restrained his smile and stood up to greet him in person.
Ju Yi defeated the White Horse Yicong and made the first contribution to Yuan Shao's capture of Hebei, he was a pivotal figure in the army, and his character was arrogant, even Yan Liangwen and Chou had to be afraid of three points, and Ju Yi was one of the few Yuan Tan supporters in the army, and Yuan Tan naturally had to show some respect.
"The last general will meet the eldest prince." Ju Yida stepped inside and arched his hand towards Yuan Tan.
"General Ju is lucky." Yuan Tan hurriedly helped him up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Come on, quickly show General Ju a drink." ”
Ju Yi was silent, sat down with a calm face, and poured a glass of wine with his head up.
After drinking, he said in a reproachful tone: "I said, eldest prince, why are you so anxious to attack Suiyang without waiting for me to arrive in the camp first?" ”
Facing Ju Yi's questioning, Yuan Tan looked embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it for a while.
"And you, Liu Xuande." Ju Yi's gaze glared at Liu Bei again, "You are also a battle-hardened person, why don't you persuade the eldest prince." ”
"General Ju, this ......" Liu Bei was also embarrassed, and could only laugh.
The atmosphere in the tent became awkward for a while.
"General Ju, you have a glass of wine to dissipate your anger, and you listen to me explain slowly." Although Yuan Tan was unhappy in his heart, he had to accompany the smiling face, and he also held the cup and personally served it to Ju Yi.
At this moment, the scout outside the tent hurriedly entered, and arched his hand: "Great prince, the pottery merchant has led an army of 20,000 to rush to Bo County, and the forward has reached thirty miles away. ”
Thunder fell.
The wine glass in Yuan Tan's hand fell off his hand in shock, the wine splashed all over, and a smiling face was instantly stunned.
Yuan Tan, who was frightened, shouted urgently: "What do you say, tell me again." ”
"Yu Gongzi, the pottery thief has led a cavalry army to kill, and he also released wild words to take the head of the son." The scout shuddered.
Yuan Tan was shocked and panicked, and sat down, losing every inch for a while, not knowing what to do.
The defeat in the previous battle had caused him too much mental trauma, and it had made him have a deep fear of the potter.
Looking at Yuan Tan's panicked appearance, Ju Yi shook his head secretly, and there was a trace of hatred in his eyes, but he snorted coldly: "As the eldest son of Duke Yuan, the eldest prince is so noble, how can he be scared like this by a mere pottery thief, what kind of system." ”
Yuan Tan's face turned red, and his expression became embarrassed again.
"General Ju doesn't know, the pottery thief brought five thousand iron horsemen this time, it's not that the eldest prince is afraid of him, it's really difficult to deal with this thief." Liu Bei explained for Yuan Tan from the side.
"Bai Ma Yi has been wiped out from me, and I'm afraid that his thousands of cavalry will not succeed!" Ju Yi snorted disdainfully, and said proudly: "With me Ju Yi and the first camp, I will kill as many Tao thief cavalry as I come, the eldest prince does not need to panic, immediately assemble the army out of the city, let's fight with that thief again, let me have a good grasp of his majesty!" ”
