Han Xin led 30,000 elite soldiers to the first step and came to Cangting to prepare to ambush Yuan Shao's rout.

Yuan Shao wanted to flee south, and Cangting was the only way to get around. Therefore, Han Xin, as one of the top commanders in history, naturally developed the key points of Cangting.

Han Xin and the generals discussed a strategy to break the Shao. Han Xin said to the generals: "I have a plan, which is called an ambush strategy from all sides. Our army can garrison on the river, ambush ten teams, and wait for the Yuan thief to go to the river, and our army will go out together. At this time, our army has no way to retreat, it will fight to the death, and Yuan Shao's army will lose its heart, then we will be able to defeat Yuan Shao'er. ”

The generals said: "The general's clever plan, Yuan Shao's old man will die without a place to be buried!" ”

Han Xin said: "Our army can be divided into ten teams, each team of 3,000 people. The ten team coaches were led by Zhang? Generals, General Le Jin, General Xu Huang, General Shi Shouxin, General Wang Xianqi, General Jing Si, General Heizhi Changzhi, General Yelu Xiezhen, General Kan Ling and Ben served as generals.

"Zhang? Generals, General Lejin, General Xu Huang, General Shi Shouxin and General Wang Xianqi were ambushed on the left side of the river, and the rest of the people were ambushed on the right side of the river with the general. ”

"After Yuan Shao's army has all entered the encirclement, our ten teams of men and horses will attack together and eliminate Yuan Shao's old man in one fell swoop."

"No, General." Everyone agreed.

After Han Xin's deployment was completed, the generals laid an ambush according to Han Xin's deployment and waited for the arrival of Yuan Shao's army.

The words are divided into two ends. After Ren Yi's wolf cavalry army defeated the Wuchao defenders, after a little repair, he took the wolf cavalry to march in the direction of Cangting, preparing to echo Han Xin's army and flank Yuan Shao.

Most of Zhang Dingbian's army were infantry, and it was difficult to catch up with Yuan Shao's rout, and everyone had already discussed the tactics before, so Zhang Dingbian settled the soldiers and deployed them on the spot in Yecheng.

Under the leadership of Han Meng, the rout army can be said to have fled in a hurry. At this time, the lineup of generals of the rout army was very bad. In addition to Han Meng, Ji Ling, Fang Jie and Yuan Chonghuan, the rest are like Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, all of them are crooked melons and cracked dates.

Although the civil official group has capable ministers such as Frustration, Tian Feng, Trial, Xu You, etc., civil officials are civil officials after all, not all civil officials are Jiang Ziya and Wang Meng, and in terms of leading troops, they are not necessarily comparable to the waste Chai Lu brothers who only have more than 60 commanders.

And Yuan Shao's family has two sons and nephew Yuan Yao is still young, although Liu's ability is okay and his personality is strong, and he is decisive in killing, but Liu is always a woman, and his experience is not as good as Yuan Shao.

The group fled in a hurry for an unknown amount of time, and Yuan Shao woke up leisurely.

"Water, water, my father wants to drink water." Yuan Shao said weakly.

Yuan Shang on the side hurriedly handed Yuan Shao a pot of honey water, and carefully fed it to Yuan Shao to drink.

"Father, you're awake at last! Mother, Brother Xi, father is awake! Yuan Shang shouted happily.

Historically, there are two main reasons for the discord between the Yuan brothers. One of the reasons is that after the battle of Guandu, the three brothers of the Yuan family have all reached adulthood, and their dependence on family and brotherhood is almost gone. The Yuan family is not an emperor, but there is not much difference between the gate valve and the emperor's family.

The second reason is that the three brothers of the Yuan family were all powerful warlords in history. When Yuan Shao was still alive, he could come forward to coordinate the contradictions between the three brothers, but as soon as Yuan Shao died, none of the three brothers obeyed anyone, and the brothers' wall was an inevitable result.

In fact, after Yuan Shao's death, if the three brothers of the Yuan family can work together to resist Cao Cao, Cao Cao will very likely not be able to unify the north. Yuan Valve, in the Three Kingdoms era, that was not a joke. It is not an exaggeration to say that Yuan Valve covered the sky in the north.

Cao Cao's three brothers of the Yuan family, who tore each other apart, also took a lot of effort. The great energy of Yuan valve can be seen.

In this life, if Ren Yi hadn't decisively launched a mutiny and took the lead in seizing the Bingzhou and Youzhou, which originally belonged to Yuan Shao's base in history, Ren Yi would never have been qualified to wrestle with Yuan Valve.

"Husband, you're finally awake!" Liu said excitedly.

"Father!" This is the shout of the Yuan brothers.

"Uncle, are you alright?" This is Yuan Yao's cry.

"Lord!" It was the shout of the multitude.

After Yuan Shao drank some honey water, his spirit eased slightly. However, Yuan Shao's pale face was as pale as paper, and anyone could see that Yuan Shao was very weak at this time.

"Yecheng, how's it going?" Yuan Shao asked weakly.

"Husband, Yecheng was captured by Ren Thief." Liu knew that he could hide it for a while, but he couldn't hide it for a lifetime, so he had to tell the truth.

Yuan Shao nodded weakly. Yuan Shao asked again, "What about General Wen Chou?" ”

"Father, General Wen Chou, he died in battle." Yuan Shang said with a suffocated face.

After hearing this, the corners of Yuan Shao's face twitched, and finally sighed softly.

"That's it, that's it, it's come to this, I, Yuan Benchu, have nothing to do."

Everyone looked at Yuan Shao's face pale, and they all looked at Yuan Shao with a solemn face.

Yuan Shao looked at everyone's expressions and knew what everyone wanted to say.

Yuan Shao said slowly: "Life and death are fate, my own body, I know best." This catastrophe, I, Yuan Benchu, I'm afraid I won't be able to get through. ”

Looking at the people with sad faces, Yuan Shao waved his hand and continued: "It's an injustice to God that I, Yuan Benchu, fell into this field. ”

"I, Yuan Benchu, can't bear the trust of the highway, let Yao'er, suffer. The only way out for us now is to go south, to defect to the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and to defect to the champion Hou. ”

"If I, Yuan Benchu, died on the road, you must also protect my body and bury me in my hometown in Runan. I can't imagine that my fourth and third dukes, Yuan Benchu, was defeated by a slave, a barbarian, I hate it! ”

Yuan Shao is a person who wants to save face and likes family affection. When they are at the end of their rope, they don't reflect on what they have done wrong, but first pay attention to whether their face has been violated and whether the interests of those close to them have been harmed. Historically, Yuan Shao gave up sending troops to accompany his son because of Yuan Shang's illness, which can be seen.

Looking at Yuan Shao, who was very emotional and coughing very badly, Liu comforted him: "Husband, don't worry, Ren Yi'er, if he goes against our family and His Majesty, he will not end well." ”

Yuan Shao also knew that Liu was comforting himself, so he didn't say anything, and closed his eyes to nourish his spirits. The 20,000 Yuan Shao army broke and continued to flee south. However, Cangting is the only way for Yuan Shao and others to flee south.
