After a day and a night of tragic fighting, the Battle of Cangting finally ended, and the Cao army won a complete victory, beheading 50,000, capturing 100,000, and capturing war horses, ordnance, banners, gongs and drums...... Countless, when cleaning the battlefield, the dead bodies were thrown into Weishui, dozens of miles of rivers were red, and the downstream rivers were blocked, and the tragedy of the war could be seen!

After the battle, the Cao army pursued by victory, occupied the Cangting camp on the same day, and then continued to march north, destroying the withering along the way, did not encounter any resistance, and successfully arrived at Yecheng two days later, and the troops were stationed on the bank of Zhangshui, forming the trend of Mount Tai pressing the top!

Yecheng - thirteen miles from east to west, nine miles from north to south, forty-four miles in circumference, with seven city gates, four droughts and three waters, convenient transportation, a large population in the city, thousands of hectares of fertile land outside the city, known as 'the first giant in Hebei', is also the nest of the Yuan family, as long as the city is conquered, the Northern Expedition will be half successful!

Unexpectedly, Cao's army did not attack the city, but only sent a small team of cavalry to reconnoiter and harass it, and then set up camp, built barriers, and dredged grain roads...... It's not surprising to put on a steady stance......

First, Yecheng - the city is high and deep, there is no shortage of grain and grass, and the defense system is complete, if you want to conquer it, it is not an easy task, and it will pay a huge price, so you must naturally prepare carefully!

Second, 1,000 enemies were killed, 800 self-losses, in the Battle of Cangting, Cao Jun killed 20,000 in battle, and there were many wounded, which can be regarded as a broken muscle and bones, and it needs to be repaired well, and there are more than 100,000 surrendered troops and prisoners, which must also be adapted and collected for their own use!

Considering the above two points, Cao Cao did not rush to attack the city, but stood firm and slowly figured it out, like a cunning python, slowly tightening his body, so that the prey was frightened, suffocated, and died...... Swallow the last bite!

This tactic was very successful, the Cao army was besieged, Yecheng fell into a desperate situation, the people were panicked, three times a day, the people burned incense and worshiped God, praying for peace, the officials eyebrows came and went, privately tandem, everyone knew in their hearts that Hebei was about to change hands, and to protect the glory and wealth, it was necessary to please the new master!

All of a sudden, officials, big and small officials, the heads of the gate valves, or secretly transmitted letters, the inside and the outside should be combined; Or looking for a way, climbing relationships, and taking refuge in Cao Ying, as for General Yuan, he has been labeled as 'a great crime, I don't know'!

…………………………………………………………………………

In the General's Mansion-bedroom, Yuan Shao's eyes were closed, his face was like ashes, lying on his back on the tiger skin soft couch, motionless, and he seemed to be still unconscious, but his rapid breathing and rolling eyeballs proved that he had woken up!

After escaping back to Yecheng, Yuan Shao woke up, but he didn't want to open his eyes, or rather, he didn't dare to face the facts, the battle of Cangting, a complete defeat, 150,000 horses were killed, and 60,000 soldiers defected, there were no more soldiers to fight in Hebei, and the building was already about to fall!

Hebei has declined to this point, as a commander, with an unshirkable responsibility, Yuan Shao's heart is like a knife, and he can't wait to die, but in addition to heartache, he is also reflecting: Why did he fail, where is it not as good as Cao Cao?

On origin: The fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, known as the first gate valve in the world, Cao Cao is just the adopted grandson of the eunuch Cao Teng after he was eunuchized!

On connections: The protégés of the Yuan family are all over the world, and they are supported by the scholar group, Cao Cao is discriminated against, so he can only work hard to win over the children of the poor family!

On strength: Yuan's family took the four states of Hebei lightly, the soldiers were strong and strong, the money and food were sufficient, Cao Cao was displaced, the competition for one city and one county, the family foundation has not been strong, and the lack of military food is a common thing!

On Political Influence......

On strategic location......

On personal appearance......

…………………………

In all aspects, repeated comparisons, Yuan Shao has the upper hand, stronger than one notch, if there is a point not as good as Cao Cao, that is, 'wise and decisive, good at employing people!' ’

When he encounters major events, he is always scheming, so that he misses the opportunity, the rebellion of Chang'an - did not welcome the Son of Heaven, the battle of Huainan - did not rescue Yuan Shu, and the battle of Guandu - did not divide the troops to attack Xuchang...... It's just too much, and if you seize the opportunity once, the situation won't be like this!

On the contrary, Cao Cao was wise and decisive, had the courage to give it a go, and repeatedly seized the opportunity to fight big with a small fight, defeated all kinds of strong enemies, and strengthened his own power...... But I didn't ......

No, I also have assistants, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Feng Ji, Xu You, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Jiang Qi, Chun Yuqiong...... Or clever calculations, or brave and good at fighting, compared to Cao Ying's civil and military affairs, they are not inferior at all, where did they go?

Killed on the battlefield, defeated and captured, and defected on the verge of battle...... In the final analysis, it is their own command incompetence, and they have lost the pillars of Hebei in vain, if Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are still alive, they will definitely be able to strategize and resolve the crisis, if Yan Liang and Wen Chou are still there, why worry about not having someone to lead the army?

A general is incompetent, tired of thousands of troops, as the old saying goes: the lion group led by sheep can't beat the sheep led by lions, not to mention that Cao Ying Group is the king of lions, leading a group of lions!

"What is the situation outside, whether the Cao army is attacking the city on a large scale, how does our army respond, is there any news from Qing, You, and Sanzhou?"

Escape is not a way, the facts must be faced, after reflecting for a long time, Yuan Shao opened his eyes, the lights in the bedroom were dim, the smell of medicine was fragrant, and there were three people standing next to him: Yuan Shang, Guo Tu, and Judge!

"The general relaxes, Cao's army is stationed on the edge of the Zhanghe River, is recuperating from battle wounds, and is unable to attack the city in the short term.

Qing and the two states are still in the fierce battle, our army is strictly defended, the enemy army is difficult to move an inch, as for Youzhou, the second prince recruited more than 100,000 horses, and soon went south to rescue, then the inside and outside should be combined, and the Cao army will be defeated! ”

Seeing that Yuan Shao woke up, the three of them let out a sigh of relief, and half of their hanging hearts fell, as for the situation reported, it was also good news and not bad news, so as not to stimulate the general, and the condition deteriorated further.

The real situation is that although the Cao army did not attack the city, it continued to send troops to harass, consuming the spirit and physical strength of the defenders, and the messengers of Qingzhou and Bingzhou for help could come in five or six batches a day, all of which were 100,000 urgent, as for the second son, Yuan Xu, I heard that he packed up the gold, silver and jewelry, fled to the border of Youzhou, and took another step out of the Great Wall!

The people in the city were panicked, and people kept fleeing, and even went to Cao Ying, and in just two days, dozens of secret letters were searched, all of which were colluded with Cao Jun by the head of the gate lord, but under the rat taboo, the trial and Guo Tu did not dare to deal with it!

"The four states of Hebei, the wind and rain, the life and death of the Yuan family, please ask the two gentlemen, you must defend Yecheng, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then reverse the situation!

The gate lords of the various clans, contribute money and efforts, defend the city, who dares not to obey the order, immediately kill the killer, at this point, there is no need to scruple about anything, everything is borne by the old man! ”

It was not too late to make amends, and at the last moment, Yuan Shao finally woke up and handed over the military and political power to the two strategists!

"The general cultivates with peace of mind, as the ministers of the Yuan family, we will die as the ghosts of the Yuan family, even if we are broken bones, we must defend Yecheng to the death, so we will organize manpower to strengthen the city defense and prevent the Cao army from taking a step forward!"

When it comes to strategic ability, judging and matching Guo Tu are not as good as Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, but when it comes to loyalty, they are not inferior, and the facts have proved that they have fulfilled their promises!

………………………………………………………………………………

"Hey! …… Call! Call! ”

After the two strategists left, the Yuan father and son were left in the bedroom, looking at each other, sighing, the situation in Hebei is in crisis, they are the most anxious, but there is no good way to deal with it, so far, they can only report the best hope, and at the same time make the worst plan!

Yuan Shao knew in his heart that he was spitting blood and his vitality was greatly injured, even if he could survive, he would not be able to preside over major events, he must choose an heir, command the army externally to resist the enemy, and appease the people's hearts internally, the third son Yuan Shang is smart and well-behaved, and has the appearance of a hero, so he is a suitable person, but with his personal ability, can he lead Hebei out of the predicament?

"Father doesn't have to worry, the child has a unique strategy, he will be able to repel the Cao army, turn the crisis into safety, and ensure that the four states of Hebei are safe!

In recent days, the envoys of the four towns of Xiongnu, Karasuma, Xianbei and Liaodong secretly met with the children, and they were willing to send troops south to deal with the Cao soldiers and horses together...... Syllable! Syllable! ”

Yuan Shang approached the soft couch and whispered his strategy, and when his eyebrows were dancing, he was slapped twice in a row, and he was dizzy, his cheeks were red, and he fell to the ground!

"The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the head of the gate valve, the father and the general, the upright Hanchen, how can he collude with the Hulu generation and then lead the wolf into the house?

You, the son of disobedience, the son of unfilial piety, the scum of the Yuan family, get out quickly, don't see me again, the Han family city will never be with anyone...... Get out! ”

It was Yuan Shao who made the shot, jumped up from the couch, his beard was full of anger, and while scolding Yuan Shang for being a scum and luring a wolf into the room, he touched the blade indiscriminately, but unfortunately he didn't touch it, otherwise he would have to pull out a knife and kill someone!

Yuan Shao is jealous, indecisive, ignorant of good talents, and soft-hearted...... There are a lot of flaws, but in his heart, he has always regarded himself as a nobleman of the Han family and adhered to the moral bottom line, even if the white blade is coming, he will not collude with Hu Lu and corrupt the Yuan family!

Not only Yuan Shao, but also the other princes Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Zhang Lu, and even Liu Zhang and Liu Biao are all unambiguous in the general righteousness of the nation, even if the army is defeated and killed, they will not ask for help from foreigners!

In the original history, the Eastern Wu crusaded against Shanyue, the Western Shu conquered the Southern Barbarians, and the Northern Wei sent troops to the Xiongnu, Karasuma, and Xianbei...... are all the embodiment of national righteousness, between the princes of the Han family, it doesn't matter if they die or live, after all, they are all their own families, foreigners who dare to stretch out their claws, don't say, brothers work together to beat the enemy out first!

"Father's anger! My father was angry...... The boy is gone...... Sou! ”

Yuan Shang, as a beloved son, has been pampered since he was a child, and has never been fingered, this time he was really scared by his father, and after dodging a teacup, he crawled out with a roll, he really couldn't figure it out, what about colluding with Hulu, it's better than losing his head, right?

"The old man is a hero, he has never succumbed to others, how can he give birth to a soft bone, the foundation of Hebei Sizhou must not be passed on to the son of disobedience, come to someone, quickly send a messenger, let the eldest prince return to Yecheng, inherit the position of the head of the family...... Cough! Cough! ”

In the bedroom, Yuan Shao shouted loudly, like a crazy old lion, although his teeth and teeth were blunt, his majesty was undiminished, and he swore not to be a traitor!
