Chapter 35 The Death of the Two Heroes of Youzhou
Let's say that Yuan Shaojun set up a pontoon bridge to cross the river, and halfway through the erection, Han Meng led more than 100 remnants of the army to, seeing that Han Meng was anxious, and the tiger's beard and eyebrows were all gone.
I saw Han Meng kneeling in front of Yuan Shao to plead guilty, Yuan Shao thought: This defeat is all to blame for this Han Meng's underestimation of the enemy, which led to the defeat. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he was furious, and he drew his sword to kill Han Meng at the moment, Han Meng always knew Yuan Shao's character, and knew that it was difficult to escape death, so he didn't hide from defense at the moment, and closed his eyes and waited for death. The officials hurriedly persuaded him to be exempted, and the trial said: "Now that the new defeat is the time to employ people, you can't behead the general first, although Han Meng is guilty, spare his life for the time being, let him make meritorious service, and make up for the merits." Yuan Shao thought about it, but stopped.
Suddenly, there was a big shout behind him, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others were about to kill, Yuan Shao was shocked, he was in a hurry, and he couldn't swim in the water, I don't know how, Han Meng said: "Ma is good at swimming, the lord can ride a horse and go quickly, and then lead the army to break off." ”
Yuan Shao was in a panic, and he also forgot his anger at Han Meng, that is, he listened to Han Meng's words, took Yuan Shang and other civil and military forces, and rode across the river first. Han Meng led the army to turn over and return to the war.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others rushed in a burst, and all the soldiers saw Yuan Shao riding across the river on horseback, all of them wanted to fight for merit, cover the sky and the earth, and surround and kill, which was unstoppable. Sergeant Yuan Shao was so frightened that his soul did not possess his body, thousands of people rushed into the river and fled, Han Meng couldn't stop drinking, thousands of troops and horses in the Yongding River for a while, the waves splashed, but Yuan Shaojun was almost all northerners, few people could swim in the water, at this time the soldiers took care of their lives, did not look at the depth of the river, and rushed to jump into the river, and the poor thousands of soldiers were robbed by this, kicking and kicking in the water several feet deep. Not half of the incense, on the surface of the Yongding River, but seeing the floating corpses, it was miserable. Xu You first went to be demoted to a horseman by Yuan Shao, and at this time he drowned in the Yongding River, but he was drowned in a river.
There are also some smarter soldiers, in order to make a living, they defected, and many people followed suit. Han Meng was furious and killed several people in a row, but he still couldn't stop it.
Han Meng was surrounded on all sides. Chen Zhi shouted: "Today, you are poor and lonely, there are countless dead, and there are a lot of descendants, why don't you descend early?" ”
Han Meng said angrily: "I am the general of Hebei, and Anken surrendered to the village? "Spear and horse, led more than 1,000 horsemen to fight to the death.
Han Meng clashed back and forth, and no one could stop him from killing dozens of people. Zhang Fei was furious, and held a spear to catch Han Meng to fight, and after less than ten rounds of fighting, Zhang Fei saw that Han Meng was in good spirits, and his eyes shot divine light, which was terrifying; If it is an ordinary person, he may be afraid, but Zhang Fei is a person, the stronger the enemy, the more excited Zhang Fei is, Zhang Fei shouted, energetic, and showed his might.
The two fought for thirty rounds, regardless of victory or defeat, Zhang Fei saw that Han Meng's marksmanship was not chaotic, and secretly applauded in his heart. Dian Wei saw that Zhang Fei was fighting Han fiercely for a while, and his heart was itching, so he waved his double halberd to attack.
The two fierce will merge with Han Meng. But seeing Han Meng's might, he turned around. Chen Zhi said angrily: "Han Meng, this guy doesn't see anything, he should behead this person!" "Spear to help the war, Han Meng died three generals, all fearless, four horses fought, did not count, saw a blood, one will fall off the horse.
I saw that Han Meng's mount was smashed down by Dian Wei's halberd, he couldn't support it, his mouth spurted blood, and he fell to the ground and died. Although Han Meng fell off the horse, he was still unwilling, and fought three generals with guns. Zhao Yun sighed: "This is a big husband, rare in the world!" ”
Guan Yu shouted: "Three generals and stop!" ”
Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, and Chen Zhi retreated, and at this time, more than 1,000 cavalry led by Han Meng were all killed, and only Han Meng was left. Zhao Yun stepped forward and said: "General Han is a big husband, Zhao Yun admires!" ”
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Han Meng had no intention of surviving, and sighed: "That's it!" That's it! The great husband was born in heaven and earth, and he did not know his master, and he was unwise. What a pity to die today! After finishing speaking, he shouted, Han Meng was already exhausted, and at this time, the successive battles had already run out of oil. With a roar of thunder, he vomited blood from his mouth and fell to the ground and died. The original Hebei Tingzhu, running and dying, there was only one Han Meng left, and now that Han Meng is dead, all the Hebei Tingzhu are broken.
Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan couldn't help but sigh when they saw Han Meng die, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others also secretly admired Han Meng. He then ordered a thick burial.
At this time, Yuan Shao had crossed the Yongding River, and Zhang Fei shouted: "Can't let Yuan Shao run away!" "When you finish speaking, you have to cross the river.
Guan Yu hurriedly grabbed Zhang Fei and said, "As the saying goes: Poor people don't chase!" What's more, Yuan Shao's general trend has gone, there is no need to rush for a while, we will be stationed here first, waiting for news from Boxiong. Zhang Fei stopped. That is, he was stationed on a hill next to the Yongding River, waiting for news from Zhao Xu.
However, it was said that Yuan Tan led troops to Zhujun, and when he saw that there was not a single soldier around the county, he entered the city and asked his brother Yuan Xi, only to find out that he had been fooled and was furious. At this time, a soldier guarding the city came to report that Zhao Xu had led troops to the county, Yuan Tan was annoyed, and said to Yuan Xi: "We should avenge my father!" Yuan Xi nodded in agreement. Yuan Tan was conceited and brave, and Yuan Xi led 20,000 troops out of the county to meet the enemy.
Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi went out of the city and were greeted by Zhao Xu's army. Yuan Tan scolded: "Zhao Xu, take away my Jizhou and invade my Youzhou, it's tolerable, it's unbearable!" Take your life. "Spear leaping out.
Tai Shi Ci was the first to go out, Yuan Tan took the gun to fight, the battle was not three-in-one, the steel gun in Tai Shi Ci's hand was ghostly, Yuan Tan couldn't stop it, and he was defeated and left. Tai Shi Ci came with a gun, Zhao Xu took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, Yuan Xi could not assert, and hurriedly led the army to abandon the city and flee to Jicheng, and Yuan Tan also fled with him.
Zhao Xu took the county without much effort, thinking: This Yuan Shao was the strongest at the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, but he was also destroyed by Cao Cao, it seems that it is not only a matter of using soldiers, but his son is also so incompetent, it is strange not to lose. Immediately led the army into the city for rectification.
At this time, it was already winter, and as soon as Zhao Xu entered the city, the snow was falling, like goose feathers. Zhao Xu saw it, and secretly thought: Now that Yuan Shao is newly defeated, his morale must be weak, and now that it is winter, it is better to take advantage of the victory to pursue, without further ado, he can't let Yuan Shao raise his army and accumulate strength, and strive to destroy Yuan Shao before the New Year, and then make plans.
That is, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others were summoned to go county by county to discuss countermeasures.
However, it was said that Yuan Shao was defeated and returned to Jicheng, and he was sad when he heard that Han Meng had died in battle. Yuan Shao was distraught, depressed all day, and ignored political affairs.
Suddenly, when he heard that Yuan Tan's army was defeated and the county was lost, he was taken aback, and the old cold and vomiting blood recurrence, vomiting blood several times, and fainting to the ground. Yuan Shaozheng's wife, Mrs. Liu, was rescued into the bedroom with the trial and Ji Ji panicked, and called the doctor to save her. At this time, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi both arrived, and heard that Yuan Shao's illness was becoming critical. Shocked, he rushed into Yuan Shao's bedroom.
Yuan Shao saw that Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi had arrived, got up, called Yuan Shang, hugged his third son and cried bitterly, and fainted. Everyone gave first aid, and after about half a pillar of incense, Yuan Shaofang woke up, but he couldn't stop spitting blood. Yuan Shao was in a trance, and saw that his three sons, his wife Mrs. Liu, the judge, and Feng Ji were all in front of the bed.
I saw Yuan Shao's face bloodless, looking at the roof, silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed, sighing: "A certain fourth world and three dukes, after dozens of battles, I don't want to be embarrassed today, that is, I Yuan Shao, why did I descend Zhao Xu again!" ”
Yuan Shang hurriedly said: "Zhao Xu's son, insidious and cunning, take his father to recover from illness, and the child will lead the army to take revenge, and swear to fight Zhao Xu to the death!" Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi heard that Yuan Shang had everything he wanted to say, although Yuan Shao was critically ill, he was still very dissatisfied in his heart, and secretly scolded Yuan Shang for only patting sycophants, flattering, and pleasing his father.
If it was usual, Yuan Shao would definitely touch Yuan Shang's head and say, "I, Yuan Shao, have such a heroic son, God help me!" I don't want Yuan Shao to say a word today, Yuan Shang was full of expectations, waiting for Yuan Shao to make himself the prince, and then lead the army to take revenge. I didn't want to, I waited for a long time, Yuan Shao didn't say a word, I saw Yuan Shao frowning, and he exhaled heavily. Yuan Shang was about to ask.
Yuan Shao suddenly shouted, not only Yuan Shang, but also Yuan Tan and the judge were all startled, only to hear Yuan Shao pointing to the sky and shouting: "The general trend is going now, and the sky will mourn me!" Heaven helps Liu and Yuan Na! After finishing speaking, the blood in his mouth spurted wildly, and the surrounding Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and others were shocked, and they gave first aid, only to see Yuan Shao's blood spurting out of Douyu, and the hand that was originally pointing at the sky was beaten down, his head tilted, and there was no movement.
In the winter of November of the second year of the early peace of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the arrival of Zhao Xu, Yuan Shao, who was supposed to be the overlord of the north, failed to achieve his great cause and fell ahead of schedule.
Zhao Xu sent his troops to Jizhou, and in less than a year, Yuan Shao, the third prince of the fourth world, was defeated and shook the world.
