Chapter 347: Decisive Battle against Yuan Xi

The martial city of the son, listen to the sound of string songs. The master smiled and said, "Use a knife to cut chickens." ----------- Analects. Yang goods》

It is said that Yuan Shao has three sons, but his talents are mediocre, and he is not as good as his father Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao was stubborn and self-serving, he still had famous generals like Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and strategists like Juan Pei and Guo Tu, and he also had good weather for many years, a bumper grain harvest, and the army expanded rapidly, with a strength of millions.

Yuan Shang sent troops to Huguan, and there were more full favors and Xu Huang to help, and the party was in danger. Chen Long and Zhang Yan received the news that Bingzhou had been attacked, so they made up their minds to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao. The 200,000 Montenegrin Army was divided into two routes, one with Guo Jia, Tai Shici, and Guan Yu as the main deputy generals, and one with Long Zhu personally leading the team, Zhang Niujiao, Wu Anguo, Fu Tong, and Lu Chang as deputy generals.

Chen Long's dispatch of troops this time was by no means to encircle Wei to save Zhao, and the famous generals under Zhang Yan in Bingzhou were all on the front line of Puyang, and there were only 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers in the party, which were not considered elite defenders. But even if the party is in a bitter battle, Chen Long has to ignore it, Yecheng is Yuan Shao's heart, and now Yuan Tan and Yuan Shangjun are fighting outside with generals, which is a good opportunity for a decisive battle against Yecheng. As long as Yecheng is captured at all costs and Yuan Shao is captured, the three sons of the Yuan family will immediately fall apart, divided into three small forces, and then be slaughtered by themselves one by one.

It was 201 A.D., Yuan Shao's fifth favorite concubine Fang had just become pregnant, and according to Imperial Doctor Liu, who was in charge of the happy pulse, she should be a big fat boy. When he was about to be happy, Yuan Shao was quite annoyed, Mrs. Liu was notoriously jealous, and she let out the wind from time to time, trying to find a way to kill the child in Fang's belly. Although Yuan Shao was angry, he didn't dare to attack, after all, Mrs. Liu was the mother of Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, and she was also the most proud of her third son, Yuan Shang, and let him take charge of the heavy army, so she indulged Liu's words and deeds every day, and only sent troops to protect Fang's family closely, so that no major incident would occur. Yuan Shang won the full favor and Xu Huang's soldiers, and was instigated by Guo Tu to send troops to join the state party, Yuan Shao did not feel that there was anything wrong, but felt that it was a good opportunity to annex and annex the state, and it could also allow Yuan Shang to gain experience, so he sent the general Yan Liang to follow Yuan Shang. Suddenly, I heard that the Puyang Dragon Ball army was pressing, and there were only two sons Yuan Xi and nephew Gao Gan around him, as well as Chun Yuqiong, Jiang Qi, Jiang Yiqu, Han Meng, Wei Yuanjin, Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang, Zhao Rui, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan, Zhang Yi, Jiao Touch, Guo Yuan, Zhao Zhao, Wang Menzi and other generals. Among the strategists, Tian Feng has not come back since he went to the Liyi office, Feng Ji and Guo Tu are outside, and there are only Xu You, Xian Pei, Xun Chen, and Xin Bi around him.

According to the battle report of Puyang, Yuan Shao hurriedly divided his troops into two routes, one way with Yuan Xi as the leader, judged as a military division, led a few generals, and led 100,000 troops to resist the east road; The other road was headed by Gao Gan, with Xin Bi as the military division, and also brought 100,000 people, with a few proud generals, to the western front to resist the western road of the Montenegrin army. After Yuan Shao sent two large armies, he urgently transferred 100,000 standing troops from Handan to carry a large amount of grain and grass to meet with the Yecheng defenders, a total of 200,000 garrison troops, and guarded the city gates on the south, east and west. Yuan Shao personally went to the head of the city to comfort the guards, the strategists Xu Yu and Xun Chen accompanied each other, the general Chun Yuqiong was the commander-in-chief, and the general Jiang Yiqu was the guard, the soldiers were strict and orderly, and the morale was high. The only regret is that there is a lack of first-class generals such as Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but when Yuan Xi set out on the expedition, he was complacent. He has been suppressed by Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan for many years, and he has never been in charge of such a strong army, and now that he is reused by his father, he is naturally eager to perform. Yuan Xi wants his father to know that he is his father's best son. If you perform well this time, you may be able to win the favor of your father, inherit the mantle in the future, and win the high position of the reserve son.

Yuan Xi was thinking about it, and his general Jiang Qi came to report that the troops were all ready, just waiting for Yuan Xi's order. Yuan Xi got on the horse, waved the long sword in his hand, and his soldiers immediately beat the drums of the war in the sky, and the troops all brushed and faced the south, Yuan Xi pointed at the tip of the whip, and the army immediately roared with a tsunami, and the column marched in the direction of Puyang. 100,000 male soldiers, like boundless waves, rushed straight to the position of the Montenegrin army.

Yuan Xi, the word Xianyi, also said Xianyong, like his words, Yuan Xi is extraordinarily mediocre among Yuan Shao's sons. In the official history, it was this Yuan Xi who married Zhen Mi of Tianxiang and the country, and was finally snatched away by Cao Pi's sword, which also made Cao Zhi's Pian Luoshen. There are even rumors that Cao Rui is actually Yuan Xi's son, because Zhen Mi was already pregnant when she was taken away by Cao Pi.

In the official history, after Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zhan, he let his sons and nephews manage each state separately, and appointed Yuan Xi as the assassin of Youzhou.

In the fourth year of Jian'an (199 AD), Yuan Xi served as the assassin of Youzhou.

In the ninth year of Jian'an (204 AD), after Yecheng was broken by Cao Cao, Yuan Shang retreated from Gu'an to Youzhou and defected to Yuan Xi.

In the tenth year of Jian'an (205 AD), Yuan Xi's subordinates Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan rebelled and commanded an army to attack Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, who fled to Wuhuan.

In the twelfth year of Jian'an (207), Tian Chou became Cao Cao's guide and helped Cao's army to attack Liucheng, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and Bao Dun, Liaoxi Shan Yu Louban, Youbei Pingshan Yu Nengchen and others led tens of thousands of cavalry to fight Cao Cao in White Wolf Mountain. Cao Cao's general Zhang Liao beheaded Badun in the midst of the chaos, so Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were defeated again, and the two fled to Liaodong.

Yuan Shang wanted to attack Gongsun Kang and occupy Gongsun Kang's territory, but Cao Cao ordered Gongsun Kang to kill Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang by watching the fire from across the river, and dedicated their heads to Cao Cao, and Yuan died.

In fact, after the loss of Yecheng, the decline of the Yuan clan was inevitable. Yuan Xi's generals Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan launched a rebellion and ordered all officials in Youzhou to turn their backs on Yuan to Cao for the alliance. And Han Heng, Don't Drive in Youzhou, disagreed, and said: "I have received the favor of Yuan Shao, Yuan Xi's father and son, and now that the Yuan family is defeated, I can't save my wisdom, I can't die bravely, and Yu Dayi is already lacking; If I were to surrender to Cao Cao at this time, I wouldn't be able to do it. ”

After Gongsun Kang captured Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi alive, Yuan Shang felt that it was cold on the ground and asked Gongsun Kang for a seat, but Yuan Xi said: "Our heads are going to be sent to Cao Cao, thousands of miles away, what else do you need!" ("The head travels thousands of miles, what is the Xi Zhi do!") ”）

Yuan Xi was not favored by Mrs. Liu, but Yuan Shao was not bad to him, so he was able to successfully take charge of the army this time. The 100,000 army, divided into several parts before and after, a large number of scouts explored the front road, and finally stationed on the rocky beach on the outskirts of Baibi Town, which was the only way for the Black Mountain army to reach Yecheng.

Chen Long personally led the team to the eastern front, and on this day, the Malay newspaper reported that the advance of the army had arrived outside Baibi Town, and on the rocky beach in front of Baibi Town, layers of large camps filled the entire road. Chen Long smiled slightly and said, "Yuan Xi has already arrived?"
