"The lord must not. Among the three sons, Tan is the eldest, and now he lives outside and has a lot of soldiers. Since ancient times, the abolition has grown up and the young, all of them have been in turmoil, and the family business has been subverted. Now that our army's prestige has been slightly defeated, and the enemy is pressing, how can we again cause fathers, sons and brothers to quarrel with each other, so that the situation is out of control? At present, the lord should first give priority to rejecting the enemy, and the matter of establishing an heir should not be discussed. Otherwise, if the news leaks, it will cause resentment between Tan and Xi, and there will be many accidents. ”

Yuan Shao was hesitant. Suddenly, a soldier came to report, Yuan Xi led 60,000 troops from Youzhou, and Yuan Tan led 50,000 troops from Qingzhou. Each went to Jizhou to help in the war. Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and at that moment, according to Guo Tu's advice, he put aside the matter of establishing an heir, and wanted to reorganize the people and horses and fight to the death with Cao Cao.

And these 110,000 soldiers and horses are most of the troops of Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan in the two states of Youyou and Qing, if there is any more shortage, then Yuan Shao is really in a desperate situation.

Yuan Shao is desperate, wanting to fight with Cao Cao again, if a miracle happens, Yuan Shao can temporarily protect the family business and have a chance to breathe. Otherwise, this male lord who once had the greatest power in the world will become a lost dog.

Nowadays, Cao Cao leads the victorious soldiers, the momentum is magnificent, the military power is unlimited, is killing to Jizhou, displayed on the river, there are local people to eat pot pulp to welcome it. Cao Cao saw that his father and elders were all white, but they were all in good spirits, and they had a bit of fairy wind and bones.

Cao Cao was amazed in his heart, so he asked all the fathers and elders to sit in the tent.

Cao Cao laughed and saluted first, and all the fathers and elders were shocked and hurriedly returned the salute. Cao Cao looked at him and suddenly asked.

"I don't know how many people there are, how old are they?"

One of them, the youngest of the seeming elders, replied.

"I'm the oldest, I want to be nearly 100 years old, and the other two are eighty or ninety years old."

Cao Cao was shocked again when he heard this, and when he saw that the father and elder were calm, his bearing was extraordinary, and he thought that his army was pressing, so he must have disturbed the villagers, so he hurriedly confessed.

"I am very disturbed that my sergeant disturbs my father-in-law's hometown. If there is any offense committed by our sergeant, my husband does not need to worry, just give it to me. ”

The old man smiled slightly, and suddenly his expression became a little more mysterious, as if he was recalling the past, and said slowly.

"I want to be in the time of Emperor Huan, there is ** in Chu and Song, and the strange scenery attracts many strange people to look. Among them, there is Liaodong people 'Yin Kui', he is good at astronomy, stays here overnight, and speaks to the old man.

**Seen in the dry elephant, just in the meantime. In the next 50 years, when there is a real person who rises between Liang Pei and saves the people here, if this person comes, he can get a hundred years of prosperity. It has been fifty years now. Yuan Benchu was ambitious, focused on the people, and forced Ding into the office, and the people complained about it. Today, the prime minister is rejuvenating the benevolent and righteous soldiers, hanging the people and cutting down crimes, the official crossing a battle, breaking the Yuan army, 400,000 Yuan soldiers, all gone, just in response to the words of Yin Kui, Zhaomin can hope to be peaceful. ”

Although Cao Cao has never believed what he said on this desolate night, his father said it very similarly, and Cao Cao was naturally happy in his heart and said with a smile.

"Yuan Benchu has not been defeated, and the victory or defeat has not been scored, how dare Meng De be what his uncle said?"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he took wine, food, silk and silk to give to the old man and sent him. Fathers and elders all praised Cao Cao for his virtue, and taught Cao Cao, the water on the riverbank has a miraculous effect, and they can live a long and disease-free life, all because they often drink this water. If Cao Cao believed it, he could let the soldiers drink it. After the father and the elder said, they said goodbye to Cao Cao and left slowly. Cao Cao first let some of the soldiers try it out, and then those soldiers only felt exhausted and full of energy. Cao Cao saw that the river water really had a miraculous effect, so he notified the armies and drank all of them.

Soon, due to the long days of fighting, most of the soldiers of Cao's army were tired, and there were many wounded soldiers in the army. After the soldiers drank the water of the river, they were exhausted and their injuries improved, which was very strange.

The army was able to return to its peak state, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the three armies.

"If you go to the countryside to kill chickens and dogs, you will be guilty of murder!"

So the army and the people were shocked. Cao Cao was also secretly happy in his heart. A few days later, a scout suddenly came to report that Yuan Shao gathered more than 120,000 soldiers from Sanzhou, and went to Cangting to fight to the death. Cao Cao was not worried but happy when he heard this, and laughed.

"Hahaha! Yuan Benchu wanted to bring about his own destruction, and it was difficult to be saved by God! ”

So Cao Cao raised his troops to advance, and the army was tired and wounded because of drinking the river water, and marched quickly to the camp under the cangting.

The next day, the drums were beating, hoping to knock the heavens and the earth, and the two armies faced each other, like a huge sea and a long river, surging and surging to form a formation. Cao Cao led the generals out of the battle, and all the generals were high in morale and majestic. Yuan Shao also led Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang's three sons, and civil officials and military generals to the front. Compared with the generals of the Cao Array, the listless and trembling soldiers in the Yuan Array are really like dogs wanting tigers and rabbits wanting lions.

Cao Cao slapped his horse into battle, completely contemptuous of the loser with a winner's posture, and drank loudly.

"Yuan Benchu, you have exhausted your efforts, why don't you think about surrendering? I hope that you and I have a friendship in the past, if you are willing to surrender to me, I will still leave you a place. ”

Yuan Shao remembered that Cao Cao was just a clown in front of him in the past, but today he humiliated him so much, how could Yuan Shao hold back, he was angry, and immediately shouted back.

"Cao Apu, you don't want to be majestic here. I have lost before, but I have been betrayed by men, and today I will be able to take your head with the same heart!! ”

"Ignorance!! Ignorant!!! Yuan Benchu, you really want to be on the knife before you know that you have regrets! ”

Yuan Shao was furious, looked back at the generals, and roared angrily.

"Who dares to go out? Give me a win for a while, and destroy the majesty of the thief! ”

Yuan Shang wanted to be able to do it in front of Yuan Shao, so he rose in response, danced with two knives, and Pegasus came out of the battle, galloping back and forth.

When Cao Cao saw that the general was a little similar to Yuan Shao, he looked back and asked the generals.

"But anyone, do you know this?"

The knowledgeable replied.

"This is Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shangye."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Zhen had a spear out early. Cao Cao regarded it as a general under Cao Hong's subordinates. The two horses intersected, not three, and Yuan Shang suddenly pulled the spur and walked diagonally. Cao Hongbu will take the opportunity to rush, Yuan Shang took the bow and arrows, turned over and shot back, and hit the left eye of Cao Hongbu, fell from his horse and died.

Yuan Shao saw that Yuan Shang was victorious, and with a whip, a large team of people and horses rushed over. Cao Cao also ordered the army to come forward to fight, and the two armies fought a melee until dusk, and each Mingjin collected the army and returned to the village.

Cao Cao consulted with the generals to break Yuan's strategy. Guo Jia stood in one place with a light smile, his eyes were shining, which was particularly eye-catching. As soon as Cao Cao saw it, he knew that Guo Jia had a plan in his heart, and hurriedly asked. Guo Jia stretched out his hands, opened ten fingers, and immediately dedicated himself to the plan of ambush on ten sides, taught Cao Cao to retreat on the river, lured Yuan Shao to chase to the river, ambushed ten teams, and when the ambush soldiers were exhausted, they could kill Yuan Shao's troops.

Gao Ran frowned, and said with concern.

"Lure the army to the river, and the retreat is lost, and if you fall into a bitter battle, will you not be able to escape?"

Guo Jia smiled and said again.

"Our army has no way to retreat, and if it fights against the water, it will fight to the death, and it will definitely defeat Yuan's army."

"Haha. Feng Xiao is worthy of the name of 'ghost talent', this plan is wonderful, and it should be followed. ”

Guo Jia's plan was in line with Cao Cao's mind, and Cao Cao quickly made arrangements at the moment, ordering ten soldiers to lead ten soldiers and horses. There are five teams on the left and right. On the left, the first team is Xiahoudun, the second team is Dian Wei, the third team is Li Dian, the fourth team is Lejin, and the fifth team is Xiahou Yuan. On the right, the first team is Cao Hong, the second team is Zhang He, the third team is Cao Ren, the fourth team is Yu Ban, and the fifth team is Gao Lan. Xu Chu of the Chinese army is the vanguard.

The next day, ten teams advanced, and the ambush was decided. In the middle of the night, Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu to lead his troops forward, pretending to rob the village. Yuan Shao had already heard that the scouts were coming, and when Xu Chu's army arrived, Yuan Shao's five villages rose together. Xu Chu pretended to be flustered, returned to the army and left. Yuan Shao took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, ordered all the troops to rush to kill first, and led the army to come, shouting endlessly. Yuan Jun pursued closely all the way until dawn and rushed to the river. Cao Jun had no way out, and Yuan Jun saw that Cao Jun was forced into a dead situation, and he continued to increase his pursuit momentum, wanting to force Cao Jun to death.

Yuan Shao was even more excited, changed his declining trend, and roared loudly.

"The Cao army has no way to retreat, and the defeat of the Cao army is here, if this battle is won, we will definitely be able to turn the tide, recover the lost ground, and defeat Cao Cao!!"

As soon as Yuan Shao's voice fell, Cao Cao, who was in the Cao army's array, also shouted.

"There is no way forward, why don't the armies fight to the death?!!"

Cao Cao's roar fell, and he turned back bravely and rode his horse to fight on the front line. Seeing this, the morale of all the troops rose sharply, and they all turned around and struggled forward. Xu Chu flew in the lead, the tiger roared again and again, the tiger's head sword flew in the air, and he smashed into the Yuan army's array, all the way to the explosion, the edge was terrifying, Yuan generals came to block, all were cut by Xu Chu Li under the horse, Xu Chu Li cut Yuan army more than ten generals. The Yuan army was in chaos in an instant, and the Cao army fought with their backs, all fighting to the death. Yuan Shao saw that this Cao army suddenly became so violent, and seeing that the general situation was not good, he retreated back in a hurry.

At this moment, Cao Jun came from behind.

Yuan Shao fled in a hurry, and in the middle of the line, a drum sounded, Xiahou Yuan on the left, Gao Lan on the right, and the two armies rushed out. The three sons of Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang were by Yuan Shao's side, running to the death. Less than ten miles away, the left side of the Lejin, the right side of the forbidden army to kill, killing Yuan Jun's corpses all over the field, blood flowed into the canal. After walking less than a few miles, Li Dian on the left and Cao Ren on the right, the two armies intercepted and killed for a while. Yuan Shao's father and son were frightened and rushed into the old village. The soldiers and horses of the Yuan army were frightened, and suddenly there were countless horses' hooves, and the sound of footsteps started, only to see Dian Wei on the left and Zhang He on the right, rushing to the village. Yuan Shao's soul flew in shock, hurriedly got on his horse, led his troops to Cangting, and fled for his life.

Just escaped, Yuan soldiers and horses were tired, and when they wanted to rest, Cao Cao's army came behind, and Yuan Shao gave up his life and left. In the middle of the line, the terrifying ambush soldiers and horses came out again, only to see Cao Hong on the right and Xiahou Dun on the left, leading the two armies to kill and block Yuan Shao's way.

Yuan Shao was like crazy, and he shouted with all his might.

"If you don't fight to the death, you will be captured! Kill them all!!! ”

Yuan Shao's eyes were red, his face was hideous, and he struggled to clash and get out of the encirclement. Yuan Xi and Gao Gan were both wounded by arrows. The horses died. Ten teams of ambushed soldiers, exterminated Yuan Shao's entire 120,000 soldiers and horses. Yuan Shao no longer had the slightest hope, hugged his third son and cried bitterly, and fainted. Everyone gave first aid, Yuan Shao vomited blood in his mouth, and shouted angrily.

"I, Yuan Benchu, have been majestic in the world all my life, and no one in the world is afraid, so I don't want to be embarrassed today! Lose me this day! You wait for each of you to return to Benzhou, and swear to fight with Cao Thief! ”

After Yuan Shao finished drinking, he taught Xin Ping and Guo Tu to follow Yuan Tan to Qingzhou to rectify the situation, fearing that Cao Cao would invade the territory, so Yuan Xi still returned to Youzhou and made preparations. Yuan Shao introduced Yuan Shang and others to Jizhou to recuperate, and ordered Yuan Shang and Feng Ji to temporarily take charge of the military. However, it was said that Cao Cao won a great victory from Cangting and rewarded the three armies; It makes people explore the reality of Jizhou. In return, Yuan Shao was sick in bed. Yuan Shang and Feng Ji guarded the city. Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and all returned to Benzhou. Yuan Shao was defeated again and again, and almost all the minions were uprooted by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to attack quickly and led the army to Jizhou.

However, it is said that after Yuan Shang beheaded Shi Lian, he was conceited and brave, and when he heard that Cao Cao's troops were coming, he led more than 10,000 troops out of Liyang to meet the vanguard of Cao's army. Xiahoudun was the first to go out, Yuan Shang came to fight with a gun, not three, Yuan Shangjia couldn't stop it, and he was defeated and left. Xiahoudun took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, Yuan Shang was defeated, he was anxious, he couldn't assert, and hurriedly led the army back to Jizhou. When Yuan Shao heard that Yuan Shang was defeated, he was shocked again, his old illness relapsed, he vomited blood several times, and fainted to the ground. Mrs. Liu panicked and went to bed, and her condition was getting critical. Mrs. Liu urgently invited Feng Ji and Xun Chen to Yuan Shao's couch to discuss the future. Yuan Shao couldn't speak with his fingers.

Mrs. Liu asked in a weird manner, as if she wished that Yuan Shao would die early.

"Can you still have an heir?"

Yuan Shao screamed a few times, and it was difficult to speak, and his voice was like a demon screaming.
