Hearing Yuan Tan's words, Yuan Shang laughed and said, "Big brother, speaking of which, then I have to mention it." The assassination of his father was because Guo Tu colluded with the assassins; And that Guo Tu has always been closer to the eldest brother, I want to know who this Guo Tu was instructed to dare to be so rebellious, colluding with assassins, and plotting to assassinate the lord. I don't say it, everyone should know it. I still say the same thing, if the eldest brother really wants to go to the city for the funeral and keep filial piety for his father, then he can go into the city alone. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being emotional! "Yuan Shang said this, Yuan Tan naturally couldn't really listen to him, he knew that once he entered the city, there would be no reason to survive." Yuan Shang Xiao'er, usurping the throne and murdering his father, it is really a great rebellion, soldiers, follow me to break through Yecheng, kill Yuan Shang's rebels, and avenge the first king! General Zhang, you and the others are the former kings and former ministers, and you must not help the abuse! After speaking, Yuan Tan waved his hand, and the soldiers of the three armies attacked Yecheng together. Yuan Shang looked at Zhang He on the side and said: "The matter of defending the city, there is still a lot of hard work for General Lao Junyi, this king is now the king of Wei, Yuan Tan is doing this, it is the following crime, you must not be selfish." Zhang He sighed and surrendered his order, after all, they had already appointed Yuan Shang as the new King of Wei, and they should help Yuan Shang resist Yuan Tan. Despite this, Zhang He, Chai Rong and others also knew that if they allowed their brothers to fight now, they would let others reap the benefits of the fisherman, so they persuaded Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to stop fighting and choose a more peaceful way to solve the problem. But there is only one throne of the King of Wei, and there is only one Lord of Youhe Jiqing, and no one can let it out. The two sides fought for half a month, and no one could help anyone, but at this time, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan suddenly received a message - Liu Bei led his troops to camp thirty miles outside Yecheng. This news suddenly made the two brothers Yuan Tan startled, thinking that Liu Bei was dead, there would be no such variables, but now Liu Bei is suddenly well, and with a large number of soldiers and horses, there are many soldiers and soldiers under his hands, if the other party gets Liu Bei's support, then the position of the king of Wei will be obtained by the opponent. This made the two of them not panic, especially Yuan Shang, who immediately invited Feng Ji to discuss countermeasures at this time. "Mr. Feng, this Liu Bei came back from the dead, and now he is leading the army to kill, what is the purpose? How should this king respond? Feng Ji seemed to smell a hint of conspiracy at this time - Yuan Shao's death was because Guo Tu rescued a killer who assassinated Liu Bei from Liu Bei, and when he arrived in Yecheng, this killer killed Yuan Shao instead, although the reason was that Yuan Shao wanted to kill him, but now that Liu Bei is fine, thinking back to everything before, this is clearly a trap. So what is Liu Bei trying to get now? "Liu Bei's plan is not small! King Wei, something is wrong! Yuan Shang still didn't understand what Feng Ji meant, "What's wrong?" Could it be that Liu Bei wants to attack this king with Yuan Tan? Feng Ji sighed and said, "Liu Bei, a hero!" When the first king was alive, he once wanted to guard against this person, but now that the first king has passed away, the king of Wei and the Yuan Tan brothers are fighting, and Liu Bei is good at buying people's hearts, and his subordinates are worried that one day, but let Liu Bei Xiaoer pick up a bargain! The subordinates thought that it was better to rebuild with Yuan Tan and get rid of Liu Bei first, which was the right thing! Hearing Feng Ji's words, Yuan Shang shook his head again and again: "Mr. Feng! My eldest brother hates me so much, how can he unite with me? Besides, now that Liu Bei is not guilty, if he does something against him, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of his subordinates, and won't the throne of this king be even more unstable at that time? If Yuan Tanyang disobeyed Yin and nominally promised to unite, but in fact he attacked the king with Liu Bei, wouldn't it be even more dangerous at that time? This is a must-have! Even if Liu Bei really has the heart of disobedience, he should not dare to rebel at this time, so it is better for this king to order him to get rid of the traitor Yuan Tan, and then this king will contact the old ministers to get rid of Liu Bei together, so it is the best policy! Feng Ji sighed and said, "I'm just afraid that Liu Bei won't give King Wei too much time!" "Let's go and send someone to contact Liu Bei first, I have already asked Tian Yu, Zhaozhao, Guo Yuan and others from Qingzhou to come to Yecheng to meet, even if Liu Bei has two hearts, I must have enough strength to protect myself." At this time, in Yuan Tan's camp, Yuan Tan was also discussing with the two brothers Xin Ping. "Now that Yuan Shang has attacked the throne of King Wei, I want to fight with Yuan Shang again, and I must win Liu Bei into my hands, I don't know if the two gentlemen have a good plan?" Xin Ping thought for a while and said: "Then Liu Bei is not a simple character, it may not be easy for the eldest prince to win his support, besides, this person is afraid that he is not small, if he is not careful, I am afraid that he will let him take advantage of the fisherman!" Yuan Tan nodded and said, "Mr. is reasonable; But without his support, I wouldn't have survived. If there is, there is still a glimmer of life, so I want to send someone to Liu Beijunzhong as a lobbyist, I don't know who of you and the two wants to go? After thinking about it for a while, Xin Bi still volunteered to go to Liu Beijunzhong as a lobbyist. At the same time, in Liu Bei's big tent, Liu Bei was discussing with Xu Shu, Liu Ji, Guan Zhang and other generals. When Yuan Shao was alive, Liu Bei was allowed to have only 10,000 soldiers and horses, and now he has brought 20,000, not including the 5,000 in Zhou Dewei's hands. "Lord, now that the two Yuan are fighting each other and are in a state of stalemate, it must not be long before they will inevitably send lobbyists to ask the lord to help; I don't know if the lord can have a word to deal with? Hearing Xu Shu's words, Liu Bei smiled and looked at everyone: "I don't know what the princes think, which side should I help?" Liu Bowen smiled and said: "Since the lord wants to revive the Han Dynasty as his own responsibility, then he naturally wants to help himself." At that time, some people said that the lord should be careful to deal with it, and bluntly said that this time he came to persuade peace, not to help the fist, and when the time came, please ask Eryuan to go outside the city and meet to discuss the throne of King Wei. "What if the two sides disagree?" Liu Bei asked rhetorically. "It's easy! If anyone disagrees, then the lord will unite with another family to attack him, so who dares to object? Liu Bei nodded, looked at Yao Guangxiao again, and asked, "Mr. Yao, are the civil and military forces that I contacted before now available to me?" "Most of them can, but it is not excluded that some people are stubborn, but it is enough to take Yecheng and defeat Eryuan."

At this time, the envoys sent by Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan came, Xin Bi and Xu You, both of whom were old acquaintances of Liu Bei, although both of them were a little surprised, but in front of Liu Bei, they could only listen to Liu Bei's words, and let Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang go out of the city together to make an appointment, and discuss the ownership of the throne of the King of Wei. Two days later, on the appointed day, Yuan Tan took his generals Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche brothers, while Yuan Shangshi took Zhang He, Gao Lan, Chai Rong and others out of the city together, Liu Bei took Guan Zhang, and everyone came to the front of the battle together, Liu Bei smiled and said: "King Wei is newly mourned, and the two sons are so fighting for flesh and blood, I am afraid that King Wei will know about it, and he will also be heartbroken." Today, the two sons were able to sell Liu Bei a thin noodle, and they went out of the city together to discuss the ownership of the throne, and Liu Bei was grateful. "Yuan Shang thought that Liu Bei would support him, but he didn't expect that in the end, Liu Bei actually came to this move, which was obviously not ready to stand on his side, so he felt a burst of anger when he saw Liu Bei at this time." Xuande Gong! This king has the will of the previous king, isn't that counted? Why do you want to be with this thief, could it be that Xuande Gong also has two hearts? When Yuan Tan heard Yuan Shang's words, he couldn't help but be furious: "Yuan Shang'er, your will, who doesn't know that it's fake!" The accident of my father's death, where is the time to prepare a will! Do you think you can deceive all the people in the world? Since ancient times, the young and the old have been orderly, and there is a difference between respect and inferiority, how can you transcend the ancestral system and seize the throne, Xuande Gong, what do you think? Liu Bei didn't speak, but looked at Yuan Shang, who was naturally not far behind, and shouted: "What is the order?" Since ancient times, the world has been inhabited by virtuous people. When my father was alive, he kept praising me, intending to let me inherit the throne, could it be that my father was wrong? As soon as Yuan Shang's words fell, only one person laughed, and the two Yuan looked over together, and saw Zhang Fei, only to see Zhang Fei shouting: "This world is indeed a virtuous person!" But when it comes to the virtuous, who else can compare to my eldest brother? According to this, does my eldest brother also have a chance to fight for the throne of the King of Wei? Hearing this, Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "Third brother Hugh wants to talk nonsense, how can I have Liu Bei's share in the position of King of Wei!" Guan Yu said again: "Big brother's words are wrong! This world is the Liu family's country, even if the eldest brother fights, it is a matter of course! ”

Liu Bei didn't say anything, but Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan seemed to be stimulated, and shouted together: "What does Xuande Gong want? ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "The second brother and the third brother are talking nonsense, the two sons don't need to pay attention to it, or is it the virtuous person or the eldest son in this world?" ”

The two looked at each other at this time, not knowing how to answer. If it is according to the virtuous, Liu Bei is undoubtedly the most qualified. But if the elders and young are orderly, it is undoubtedly necessary for Yuan Shang to immediately give up the position of King of Wei.

Yuan Tan hoped that Yuan Shang would let him out directly, but Yuan Shang seemed to understand all of a sudden that all this was aimed at himself, and he couldn't help but yell: "Liu Bei! Do you want to disobey the will of the first king? This position of the king of Wei, I have a righteous name, how can you be presumptuous here! ”

Liu Bei was not in a hurry, looked at Yuan Tan and said, "What does the eldest prince think?" ”

Yuan Tan hadn't answered yet, and Feng Ji behind him couldn't help but take a few steps forward, pointing at Liu Bei and saying, "Liu Bei Xiao'er!" The death of King Wei is inherently strange, whether it is a good thing you did or not, you know in your heart that you are taking advantage of the danger of others now, what kind of hero is you! Liu Bei and Yuan Tan are going to persecute the King of Wei today, and the King of Wei might as well lead his troops back to the city and reorganize the soldiers and horses to fight to the death! ”

Yuan Tan was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "What Xuande Gong said is extremely true! That's how it should be, third brother, don't be obsessed, it's better to give way as soon as possible, I can still leave you a way to live, after all, we are still brothers, and the time to save lives will be ruined, but let others have a chance. ”

Yuan Shang snorted, immediately turned his horse's head, and headed towards the city.

Feng Ji hurriedly said on the side: "King Wei, Yuan Tan and Liu Bei colluded, we must be careful to defend, and when the army of Zhao and Guo Yuan comes, we will first attack inside and outside, and then break Liu Bei's troops and horses." If Liu Bei retreats, Yuan Tan will definitely not last long. ”

Yuan Shang's expression was grim, he always felt that everything was not so simple, but now he didn't have any way.

A few days later, Yuan Shang's henchman Guo Yuan led the troops to kill him together, and after killing Liu Bei's vanguard army with Zhang He Gaolan, he rushed to Yecheng and joined Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang was very happy, with reinforcements, he finally felt a little relieved.

That night, just as Yuan Shang was still asleep, he was suddenly shouted.

"King Wei...... Event...... Oh no...... Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan has attacked......"

Hearing the return of his soldiers, Yuan Shang's face changed greatly, and he asked in surprise: "How is it possible...... How did Yuan Tan get in? Which general is on duty today! ”

"Back to the King of Wei, today is to lead the recruitment and General Guo Yuan on duty, they actually colluded with Yuan Tan, opened the city gate privately, and let Yuan Tan's army enter the city!"

Recruit Guo Yuan?? These two people can be said to have been pulled up by Yuan Shang, why did the two suddenly rebel and vote for Yuan Tan?

"King Wei, it's too late to hesitate, now that the general trend has gone, it's better to retreat quickly!"

Feng Ji had also received the news, and rushed in to persuade him.

Yuan Shang couldn't swallow this breath, he scolded angrily: "These two horsemen misunderstood me!" Mr. Feng, what benefits did you say the two of them received from Yuan Tan? Why did you betray me? ”

Feng Ji sighed and said: "It's too late to say this, King Wei, stay in Qingshan and don't be afraid of no firewood, hurry up and leave!" It's too late! ”

"Where else to retreat? If Yuan Tan becomes the king of Wei, where will I have a place in this world! ”

Yuan Shang shouted hysterically, "Come on, straighten out the soldiers and horses, I want to fight to the death with Yuan Tan, I want to ask Guo Yuanqian why he betrayed me!" ”

At this time, there was already chaos in the city, and Yuan Tan didn't understand why he received a secret letter from Zhaozhao, and he wanted to cooperate with him to take Yecheng in one fell swoop. At first, he suspected that this was Yuan Shang's plan to lure the enemy, but under Xin Bi's persuasion, Yuan Tan finally decided to gamble!

It wasn't until he made it into the city that he felt like a dream.

Yuan Shang rushed over with the army in the city, looking at the oncoming Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang scolded: "Where are the two horsemen who recruited Guo Yuan now!" Let them come out to me! ”

Yuan Tan laughed and said: "Third brother, you have betrayed your relatives now, it is better to give up this big position to me, you and I are still good brothers!" ”

Yuan Shang sneered and said, "Yuan Tan! Even if you ask for this position, how do you deal with Liu Bei? My father could not help him during his lifetime, and if you and my brother could not work together, how could we deal with him as a hero? ”

"The third brother let me do the same? Since you are reluctant to give up this position, don't blame me for being unkind! Kill! ”
