"What? --Last night's fifth watch, Yuan Shao vomited blood and died violently? ”

"A generation of heroes Yuan Benchu, my lifelong rival and confidant friend, fell like this?"

……………………

On the shore of Zhangshui - Cao Jun's camp, Cao Cao and a group of civil and military ministers were discussing military aircraft and discussing siege strategies, and the meticulous workers lurking in the city suddenly sent a top-secret information: 'Yuan Shao died violently, and his son Yuan Shang succeeded him as a general and led Jizhou Mu! ’

With top-secret information in hand, Cao Cao read it three times in a row, but he still couldn't believe it, and immediately sent his henchmen to contact the officials in the city who were interested in surrendering, and inquired about the news in detail, and finally confirmed: Yuan Shao is really dead, and Yuan Shangzhen has succeeded to the throne!

After confirming the news, Cao Cao sat in the handsome seat, his mouth was wide open, he couldn't say a word, his mood was extremely complicated, there were joy, sadness, and more loneliness!

On the one hand, Yuan Shao died violently, the dragons of Hebei were leaderless, and the people's hearts were in turmoil, which was very beneficial to the Northern Expedition of the Cao Army.

On the other hand, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have known each other for many years, they are both enemies and friends, how can they not be sad under the sympathy for each other, the old enemy in life has fallen, how long is their own road?

"Yuan Shao died violently, the people of Hebei were panicked, our army immediately launched a fierce attack, and we will definitely be able to take Yecheng!"

"Yuan Shang's milk stinks before it dries, that is, he has no prestige and no ability, he can't control the overall situation at all, and the Yuan army will definitely be defeated!"

……………………………………

Knowing that Yuan Shao was really dead, Cao Ying's civil and military forces were elated, and they clapped their hands and cheered, advocating attacking the city and taking the Yuan family's lair in one fell swoop.

As long as Yecheng is conquered and Yuan Shang is captured, the Hebei group will collapse, and then the army will continue the northern expedition, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, eliminating the remnants of Yuan Tan, Yuan Xu, Gao Gan, etc., within a year or two, Hebei can be pacified!

"Taking advantage of the funeral to send troops, the great injustice is also, compared to the ancient precepts of the Spring and Autumn Period, the old man and Ben Chu have known each other for many years, and they have deep feelings for each other, how can they take advantage of the danger of others and let him die without turning a blind eye?

Send someone into Yecheng to mourn, clearly tell Yuan Shang, deal with the funeral with peace of mind, within the days of the death of the three sevens, the old man will never attack the city, and then pass the order to the generals and soldiers in the army, for the Yuan funeral procession, not to be blocked, let alone rude, violators of the order - beheaded! ”

Cao Cao resolutely refused to send troops, which was to prove to the world that his high style and brightness were also to comfort Yuan Shao's spirit in the sky, which was considered to be a perfect friend!

In addition, the art of war: 'Mourning soldiers will win, not attack', Yuan Shao has just died, Hebei soldiers are sad and indignant, at this time, a large-scale siege of the city may not be a good thing, it is better to sell personal favors in the past, and win over the hearts of Hebei people!

Jiang Gan carried the sacrifices and prepared to go to Yecheng to mourn and express his grief, and by the way, he contacted Hebei officials to persuade, bribe, dig the foot of the wall, and do internal ...... It's a win-win-win!

In order to express his grief, Cao Cao held a pen in his hand and wrote a pair of elegiac couplets and sent them to the city, which was hung in front of Yuan Shao's coffin:

Shanglian: Born as a hero, dead as a ghost, a wisp of heroic spirit to support the sun and the moon!

Downlink: When it is in the sky, it is defeated in the people's scheme, and it is full of enthusiasm to write the Spring and Autumn Period!

Horizontal criticism: The afterlife is the enemy!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

In Yecheng, Yuan Shang is very busy now, not busy with funerals, nor busy with power, but busy with killing, and the reason is very simple, his mother Liu wants to kill!

Liu's family was born in a famous family, flowers and moon appearance, but unfortunately it is a vinegar jar, and the heart is even more vicious, Yuan Shao has always liked wine, and it is inevitable that he will be touched by flowers and grass, and he will be merciful everywhere, just the famous wives and concubines, there are more than 100 people, and the wildflowers picked at will are countless!

When Yuan Shao was alive, he sang and had fun with his concubines night and night, Liu's old age and decrepit were gradually neglected, he really hated his teeth three inches, but he was helpless, and now Yuan Shao's life is whimpering, and the concubines have no backer, so they naturally have to settle accounts after the autumn!

According to the rules, after Yuan Shao's death, all the concubines who did not give birth were buried in the mausoleum, but the Liu family was jealous and couldn't wait for a day, so he used the right to take charge of the back house and beat more than 100 concubines, regardless of whether they had given birth or not, to death!

I was worried that when they arrived in the underworld, they continued to seduce Yuan Shao, simply shaved their hair, destroyed their faces, and burned their corpses, and invited wizards to suppress the ashes under the well, so that they would become lonely ghosts and ghosts, and they would never be able to turn over.

The problem is that Yuan Shao is polite and polite, and he is also very picky about women, none of the concubines he accepts are from simple backgrounds, either the daughters of civil officials or the sisters of military generals, all of them are from beautiful backgrounds, and the backstage is harder than the other!

The Liu family was brutal and tortured and killed hundreds of concubines, after the news came out, how could their fathers and brothers give up, or civil and military officials, or the head of the gate lord's family, once they unite to make trouble, I am afraid that the general's mansion will not be able to withstand it!

Burning eyebrows, let's look at the front first, Yuan Shang put down the funeral and was busy dealing with the concubine's family, his method is the same as his mother, since he killed someone, let's kill it to the end, all of them are killed, and no one will take revenge!

For a time, the iron horses in Yecheng went out in all directions, and they searched from house to house, and all the relatives of the concubines, regardless of their official positions, were all beheaded all over the house, and only the heads of the people killed were rolling, the blood was rainy, and thousands of people were killed, including many officials loyal to the Yuan family!

After Yuan Shao's violent death, the people were panicked, and the situation was already unstable, Yuan Shang had just ascended to the throne, and instead of winning over the people's hearts with Endra, he implemented the White Terror, which was suddenly very unpopular, and many people wanted to serve Cao Ying, and the letter of allegiance and leaked secret letters were constantly sent......

After killing people, Yuan Shang began to handle the funeral, according to the rules of the Han family: it should be once every seven days, ask the mage to spend the soul, a total of 7749 days, if it is during the war, it can be reduced by half, and Cao Cao also agreed, there will be no siege between the sacrifice days!

However, Yuan Shang can't wait for twenty-one days, not seven days, since his father's violent death, he is restless day and night, nightmares, always dreaming that his father is covered in blood, and comes to him to ask for his life, and sometimes brings his concubines to form a group to scare him......

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

When he was born, he traveled to the national capital, and he did not abandon Nakano when he died,

On the high hall of the morning hair, under the yellow spring at dusk,

The day enters the abyss, the car is suspended,

Although the gods of creation, Ann can restore me,

Describe a little rest, teeth when falling,

It has been true since ancient times, who can leave it?

………………………………

On the days of heart-pounding, Yuan Shang really couldn't stand it, and the funeral was held three days later, and a team of people carried Yuan Shao's coffin, sang a sad elegy, and walked out of the gate of Yecheng......

Yuan Shang naturally didn't dare to go out of the city, only bowed a few times on the city wall, and then went back to continue to kill, as for the funeral procession, led by the strategist Guo Tu, came to a high slope in the east of the city, dug a grave, placed a coffin, and erected a stone stele......

Because of the haste of the matter, the mausoleum was very simple, the burial pit was very shallow, the sealing soil was very low, and there were few burial goods...... There is only one bluestone tombstone, which is engraved: The tomb of Yuan Benchu, the late general of the Han Dynasty, is a martyr, who killed a lot at once, and the bones are full of bones, all of which are unjust souls......

Yuan Shao was born in a scholar family, rose as a teenager, stepped into a career, was middle-aged, commanding, enjoyed glory and wealth, had a beautiful wife and concubine, and had a beautiful wife and concubine, and the scenery was unstoppable, but he never expected that the funeral after death was sloppy, and the grave was extremely shabby, even when he arrived at the underworld, he was embarrassed and couldn't raise his head, what a bitter tear!

After receiving the military order, the soldiers of Cao Jun did not stop the funeral procession, but took the initiative to bow down and salute to show their condolences......

Those who left were all messengers, some of them went to Qingzhou, and asked the eldest son Yuan Tan to come back to mourn, Yuan Shang was relieved that he couldn't get rid of his eldest brother, and wanted to trick him back to Yecheng, take away the military power in his hands, and come again'Righteous annihilation', anyway, my father was killed, and I didn't care about killing one more brother!

The other part went to Youzhou, and asked the second son, Yuan Xi, to gather soldiers and horses, quickly rescue Yecheng, and by the way, contact the four counties of Xiongnu, Karasuma, Xianbei, and Liaodong, and ask them to send troops to help, as for the conditions, everything is negotiable, and the messenger who leads the team is the son of Zimu!

Zimu Gongzi killed Yuan Shao, led troops to deter civil and military officials, and supported Yuan Shang to become a general, which can be said to be the first hero, but he is also Yuan Shang's 'father killer', he knows too many secrets, with the despicable character of the third prince, he will kill people at any time!

Yuan Shang is not a fool, Zimu Gongzi is smarter and more vicious, seeing that the situation is not good, he played a 'golden cicada shell', and in the name of asking for help, he fled from Yecheng, and took his henchman and maid Lingling all the way to Youzhou......

Regarding the envoy out of the city, Cao Cao knew it, but he generously let it go, the reason is also very simple, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xu, Gao Gan divided one side, even if the Cao army conquered Yecheng, it was necessary to continue the Northern Expedition, looking for three men and horses to fight a decisive battle, the road is far away, the supply is difficult, and the victory or defeat is not easy to say!

It's better to 'encircle the point and send reinforcements', use Yecheng as bait to attract people from Qing and Youzhou to come, and then eliminate them one by one, which is much easier than the labor expedition, as for the 0 high level of the state, Xiao Yi will solve it cleanly, don't bother about it!

Cao Cao also took the civil and military ministers to Yuan Shao's grave, and made a grand sacrifice with the 'Taigao', and wrote a sacrificial text himself, which was burned in front of the grave, as for what was written on it, no one knows......

After the sacrifice was completed, Cao Cao mobilized 30,000 soldiers, each carrying a load of soil, covering Yuan Shao's tomb to make it a large mound, and asked the craftsmen of the army to carve stone figures, stone horses, and stone tigers...... There are dozens of pairs, placed on both sides of the tomb, which also gives Yuan Shao some face - the heroes of the troubled times will eventually return to dust!

There's another chapter to come!
