In the seventh year of Jian'an (202 AD), Yuan Shao died of grief. Yuan Shao wanted to be established as the heir because of Yuan Shang's beauty and the love of his stepwife Liu, but he did not officially express his position. Everyone wanted to take Yuan Tan as the eldest son and set up as the heir, but Feng Ji and the trial faction were not in harmony with Xin Ping, Guo Tu, and Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan could not succeed to the throne and proclaimed himself a general of the Che Cavalry, stationed in Liyang.

In the eighth year of Jian'an (203 AD), after Cao Cao attacked Liyang and retreated, Yuan Tan asked for armor and soldiers, but Yuan Shang refused. Yuan Tan was furious, and Guo Tu and Xin Ping took this opportunity to say to Yuan Tan: "The ancestors (Yuan Shao) passed on the general to his brother (Yuan Ji) as a descendant, and they were all used to frame you." Yuan Tan felt that it made sense, so he led his troops to attack Yuan Shang, and the two sides fought at the outer city gate, and Yuan Tan was defeated, so he led his troops back to Nanpi. After that, he united with Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shang, and soon rebelled.

In December of the ninth year of Jian'an (204 AD), Cao Cao led his army to surround Yuan Tan in Nanpi.

In January of the tenth year of Jian'an (205 AD), under Cao Cao's rapid attack, Nanpi was breached, Yuan Tan was killed by the tiger and leopard cavalry when he fled, and after Cao Cao entered the city, he killed Guo Tu and others, and killed their wives and children.

And Guo Tu's last life was not a good death, which has a lot to do with Guo Tu's humanity and his accuracy in seeing people, but we don't comment on what happened thousands of years ago.

When Guo Tu and Wang Xuepeng were just about to go to bed with the beautiful woman in their arms, Wei Yan's men and horses also arrived from outside, and Wei Yan's iron guard came over and kicked open the door of Wang Xuepeng and Guo Tu.

And Wang Xuepeng and Guo Tu had just taken off their clothes, and before they could get on the horse, they were ruined by Wei Yan, and their anger came up all of a sudden.

However, before Guo Tu and Wang Xuepeng could get angry, they heard Wei Yan immediately scold: "Come, brothers, tie them up for me!" ”

Seeing someone, not only disturbed his good deeds, but also tied up the two of them, not only Guo Tu was angry, but even Wang Xuepeng, the county commander, was angry.

Because, he found that the person opposite was just a school captain, and he didn't know him yet, if Fu Lin came in person, Wang Xuepeng would probably have knelt on his knees and begged for mercy.

So, Wang Xuepeng scolded: "Who are you, you are Fu Lin's subordinate, what's the benefit of mixing with him, it's better to join Yuan Shao with me, that's the third prince of the fourth world, I promise that you will become a general immediately, and you won't let me go!" This is Yuan Shao's strategist Guo Tu! ”

Originally, Wei Yan did not have the final evidence of Wang Xuepeng's rebellion, nor did he have a qualitative character, but this time Wei Yan, the reason why he had to hurry up, was also in the past, in case, he was late, Wang Xuepeng really rebelled, so how could Wei Yan guard Pingcheng, and how could he be worthy of the lord.

Since they themselves admitted it, Wei Yan not only did not get angry, but felt that this was very good, so Wei Yan immediately said: "Come on, pull them down and cut them down, and send the heads to the Jia military division in Mayi City." ”

"What, you dare to kill me, I'm the county order of the lord! No, no...... Ah...... "At this time, this Wang Xuepeng remembered that Fu Lin was his lord, but how could Wei Yan change his mind for him, a traitor."

Yes! Yes!

There was not much time, the iron guard pulled Wang Xuepeng and Guo Tu out and cut them down, Wang Xuepeng died innocently, but unfortunately a generation of strategists, Guo Tu died in Pingcheng with grievances.

Wei Yan is a military general, and a military general must be a little ruthless, and he must make a decision on the spot, so Wei Yan killed Wang Xuepeng and Guo Tu, and he did not regret it at all.

In fact, Wei Yan did this a bit overstepping, no matter what, he was just a small captain, although Fu Lin gave him the right to command 10,000 elites, but Wei Yan did not have the power to kill and plunder after all, at least, Wei Yan He did not have the right to kill the county order of Pingcheng County.

At most, Wei Yan collected some evidence of the crime of Pingcheng County Commander Wang Xuepeng, and sent him to the lord to let Fu Lin fall.

However, Wei Yan didn't have time to think about these things now, and immediately after, Wei Yan immediately accepted the city defense of Pingcheng and counted the number of county soldiers in Pingcheng County.

In the end, Wei Yan made such an inventory, there were only 3,000 county soldiers in Pingcheng County, and these soldiers and horses were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they had no morale, no wonder, if this Pingcheng soldiers were strong and strong, their county commander Wang Xuepeng, that is, a character, would not surrender to Yuan Shao.

Tart tart tart! Tart tart tart! Tart tart tart!

Tart tart tart! Tart tart tart! Tart tart tart!

So, Wei Yan personally went to several major families in Pingcheng to borrow soldiers, as for borrowing troops from the family, what kind of soldiers are they, this is naturally the family family, protecting the family's private soldiers.

Fortunately, Fu Lin's reputation is good, and Wei Yan is direct and vicious enough, these people don't dare to say anything when they see Wei Yan, a red-faced man, not to mention, Wei Yan came to guard Pingcheng on Fu Lin's orders.

Tart tart tart! Tart tart tart! Tart tart tart!

Tart tart tart! Tart tart tart! Tart tart tart!

Just when Wei Yan was scattered, he gathered 7,000 private soldiers, some grain, grass and weapons, plus the county soldiers of Pingcheng County, and Wei Yan's 10,000 elites, which barely made up more than 20,000 people.

However, at this time, Wei Yan saw the scout, and hurriedly ran towards him, and when the scout came to Wei Yan's approach, he immediately saluted: "The little one is Lord Captain, there is an urgent military situation of Yuan Shao in the east!" ”

"Tell me quickly, what is Yuan Jun's movements?" When Wei Yan heard the scout say that there was military information, he immediately turned around and asked.

The scout didn't dare to make a mistake, so he immediately said: "Lord Qiqi Lieutenant, Yuan Shao, sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead an army of 150,000 and came straight to Yanmen County in our state, and our Pingcheng was naturally the first to bear the brunt, so Yan Liang had already sent Wen Chou to lead 50,000 elites and came straight to us, while the other Yuan troops went directly to the city of Rushing to Mayi. ”

The situation is very serious, it is 50,000 horses, although Wei Yan is full of energy, but the military situation has more or less brought him a lot of pressure.

However, Wei Yan is not a leisurely and indecisive person, and he is not a person who is afraid of death, so Wei Yan first thought for a moment, and then he rolled his eyes and said to his iron guard: "You go down and give an order, let the soldiers and horses prepare more things to start fire, and ambush the enemy outside and inside the city gate, in addition, a few of you go to find two, people who look like Wang Xuepeng and Guo Tu, let them change into the official uniforms of the two of them, go to the city tower, and wait for my order." ”

Fu Lin's iron guards are also elite, and in addition to protecting the main general, they naturally have to obey the orders of the main general.

These people, no matter what Wei Yan thinks, they just need to carry out the task, so say, is there really a Yuan army coming, and the enemy's master will be Wen Chou?

Thing, it's true, the scout's intelligence is completely prepared, which is also, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, they can't afford Fu Lin at all, even Xu You.

Tart tart tart! Tart tart tart! Tart tart tart!

At this time, eighty miles east of Pingcheng, there was a tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the way, and the general they led was a tall and ugly general, and this person was Wen Chou.

Wen Chou (born in an unknown year, died in 200 AD), a general under the account of Yuan Shao, a pastor of Jizhou in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD), Yuan Shao ordered Wen Chou to lead an army to attack Cao Cao in Yanjin, and Cao Cao broke Wen Chou's army by luring the enemy, and Wen Chou was killed in this battle. The Ming Dynasty novelist Luo Dada described the story of Guan Yu's beheading of the ugly text according to this period of history in the novel Three Kingdoms, and it was widely circulated in later generations.
