Bai Qi was a little worried: "Xuzhou experienced a great war, and the number of soldiers and soldiers decreased sharply. If Xu Huang commits a crime, what is the master mother going to do? ”

Fan Lihua replied: "You can rest assured." The Military Aircraft Department said that the remaining artillery would be left in Xuzhou. I was also allowed to recruit soldiers and horses to replenish the original 150,000 Xuzhou troops. Sister Mu's Qingzhou also gave the establishment of 100,000 Qingzhou troops. In half a year at most, I will be able to recover and connect the two states. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought and couldn't take care of me for the time being, and when he reacted, he was no longer my opponent. ”

Everyone nodded.

Xu Huang's 150,000 border guards, although the combat effectiveness is very strong. However, there were 600 red-coated cannons left in Xuzhou, with more than 30,000 shells. It is enough to deal with Xu Huang's attack.

Bai Qi no longer persuaded each other, and said: "We will obey the will of the master mother and return to Yangzhou on the same day." ”

The first month of the ninth year of Jian'an.

Yuan Shao arrived in Yecheng, Jizhou.

The Bingzhou Army and the Jizhou Army that followed him back to Yecheng were less than 8,000 people left. The first to ascend to the dead is exhausted. Euphorbia are also on the verge of extinction. Fortunately, after crossing the Yellow River, the garrison of Wei County responded and did not receive any attack.

Return to Yecheng.

Before Yuan Shao could catch his breath, he received bad news one after another.

First, Qingzhou fell, and all the land east of the Yellow River fell into the hands of Lü Bu. Then Yuan Tan, Guan Tong, Wang Xiu, etc., committed suicide. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were captured. Jiang Yiqu and the 200,000 troops recruited by Jiang Yiqu sank into the river.

Yuan Shao was so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick.

The civil and military affairs of the DPRK and China were all handled by Fu Zhi and Yuan Shang.

It is necessary to mention the following.

Because he was outside Puyang City, Xu Youli took refuge in the city and was almost ambushed by Cao Cao. Yuan Shao had to doubt Xu Yu's intentions, and after returning to Jizhou, he was removed from all rights by Yuan Shao, and he was only a staff member of Jizhou Mansion.

"Mr. Fu, it's not good."

Yuan Shang was dressed in military uniform, and hurriedly came to the place where he was frustrated.

As soon as he finished approving the recital, he got up and asked, "What's the matter with Childe?" ”

Yuan Shang replied: "I just received a tip. Cao's army, which was originally stationed in Hedong and Hanoi, had already crossed the Yellow River, occupied Shangdang counties one after another, and approached Huguan. The Xiliang army in the territory of Shangjun Feishi is also rushing to attack Lishi in my Xihe County. Taiyuan is in danger. ”

"Childe, don't worry."

Fu Zhu turned to look at the map and said, "Cao Cao's real purpose in intercepting us in Puyang is to weaken our military strength so that we can take advantage of the situation to take the annexed state. Judging by the speed of his march, Huguan will definitely be captured. We must immediately send troops to the aid of Yanmen Pass. As long as the Yanmen Pass is in hand, even if Cao Cao occupies Bingzhou, we can gather forces to counterattack. ”

Yuan Shang looked anxious: "Of course I know that Yanmen Pass is the key to blocking Cao's army. But the flank of Yanmen Pass is Youzhou, and I have no right to mobilize the garrison of Youzhou. ”

The military and political structure of Yuan Shao's forces was very different from that of Lu Bu. As the supreme king, Yuan Shao can mobilize all the armies, needless to say. In addition to him, it is Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, and Yuan Xi, and the three sons have absolute military power. It can mobilize the local army and regular army of the three prefectures of Qingdao, Merge and Youzhou. Further down, there are very few generals who can mobilize troops. Even the most trusted Yan Liang and Wen Chou must act according to military orders.

As for the 100,000 crossbow arrows formed in the last two years, it is really an unprecedented military and political structure, and it must also be under the control of Yuan Tan.

Now Yuan Tan is dead, Yuan Shang is captured, and Yuan Shao is sick

Hebei's major military and political affairs are said to have been handed over to Fu Zhi, but in fact they have no right to mobilize the army.

Fu Zhu also understood: "Please follow me to see the king." ”

"Okay."

The two of them were anxious and rushed to Yuan Shao's residence.

After suffering setbacks one after another, Yuan Shao's body is getting worse day by day. He lay on the bed, his face white as if he had been smeared with flour, his eyes blank and empty, and his mind was in a trance.

Yuan Shang knelt down and saluted: "The king (father)." ”

"Get up."

With the help of two personal rings, Yuan Shao sat up from the bed: "You are not a deacon in the palace, what are you doing here with me?" If there is anything, just decide for yourself. ”

"Father"

Yuan Shang was anxious, knelt down and stepped forward and said, "Father, king." We don't want to bother you either. But something big happened at the border. Cao Cao not only attacked our army back to Hebei, but also ordered the garrisons of Hedong, Hanoi, and Shangjun to wage war against our state. The party has fallen, and the pot is in danger! Taiyuan is in danger! Mr. Fu said that only by holding the Yanmen Pass can he have a chance to counterattack. The child asked for the order to mobilize the Youzhou army to participate in the war, gallop to the aid of Yanmen Pass, and ask his father for permission. ”

These days, Yuan Shao has been thinking about Cao Cao's renegade of the covenant, and there is always a knot in his heart that he can't unravel.

Considering the overall situation, he was already ready to forgive Cao Cao and send someone to the peace talks, but he didn't expect that at this juncture, there was bad news again. aroused the old hatred and made Yuan Shao angry.

"Cao Cao poof!"

Yuan Shao was filled with grief and indignation, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out.

"Father (king)" Yuan Shanghe was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward.

The maids and guards in the room also knelt on the ground.

Yuan Shao held his last breath and grabbed Yuan Shang at once: "Shang Shang'er, succeed to the throne!" ”

After saying these four words, Yuan Shao collapsed on the bed.

The doctor who treated Yuan Shao's illness walked to Yuan Shao's side, checked Yuan Shao's body, and found that Yuan Shao was dead, so he retreated in horror, knelt down and reported: "Lord Fu, Shang Gongzi, the king has died." ”

"Huh?"

"Father!" Yuan Shang bowed to the ground, crying silently.

He realized that his reckless behavior had harmed Yuan Shao. If he hadn't told Yuan Shao about the war situation in the state, maybe Yuan Shao would have lasted a year or two. Now it's too late.

Fu Zhu was also stunned on the spot, unable to believe that Yuan Shao, a generation of heroes, returned to the west.

In the first month of the ninth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao died of illness in Yecheng at the age of 54.

Fu Zhu was the last minister to see Yuan Shao, and he heard Yuan Shao's last entrustment with his own ears, intending to pass the throne to the third prince Yuan Shang.

But

It is very difficult to succeed to the throne at such a time.

He first controlled all the people in the house who knew about it at that time, and never mentioned Yuan Shao's death to the outside world, nor did he mourn. Falsely spread Yuan Shao's will, and secretly ordered the garrison of Jixian County, Youzhou, to move to Yanmen Pass.

Then he took out a large amount of money and grain, and sent people to negotiate with Cao Cao and Fan Lihua to redeem the captured Yuan Shang, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhao Zhao, Jiang Yiqu and a large number of defeated sons and generals.
