920, Yuan Shang was killed by an arrow, and Liu Bei entered the city to force the position
With Yuan Tan's order, the two sides immediately fought, although Yuan Shang also took the lead at this time, but after all, now Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses plus Guo Yuan, the total strength has surpassed the defenders in Yecheng.
Moreover, the soldiers and horses in Yecheng were not completely under Yuan Shang's command, for example, although the position held by Liyi is not high now, his prestige in the army is still very high, and Liyi was so humiliated by Yuan Shang, and Liyi had already contacted many soldiers to secretly plan to overthrow Yuan. Zhang He, Gao Ran and Chai Rong and other generals also don't like this kind of brotherly battle, but now they are also fighting on the cusp, some of them can't help themselves, but they are not willing to sell their dead power, and Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun brothers are killing all sides in Yecheng at this time, and no one can stop them.
It didn't take long for Yuan Shang to be defeated, and Feng Ji hurriedly persuaded him to withdraw quickly. And Yuan Tan has already led people to slowly surround Yuan Shang, looking at Yuan Shang's gray face now, Yuan Tan was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Yuan Shang, you are at the end of your rope, if you don't come down at this time, when will you stay?" ”
"Yuan Tan! Today you are either dead or I die! ”
After speaking, Yuan Shang yelled again, and wanted to rush towards Yuan Tan single-handedly. At this moment, I saw a feather arrow flying over with a swish, shooting straight at Yuan Shang, and Yuan Shang in the march, where could he still care about dodging the dark arrow, the feather arrow went straight into Yuan Shang's throat, Yuan Shang didn't have time to scream, so he turned over and fell off the horse.
"What bastard put the Dark Arrow!" Yuan Tan saw that Yuan Shang was shot to death all at once, he was shocked in his heart, and immediately scolded.
Although Yuan Shang once wanted his own life, Yuan Tan was already in control at this time, and he didn't want to take on the charge of killing his brother at all, as long as he could take Yuan Shang down. But this sudden arrow directly shot Yuan Shang to death, which completely disrupted Yuan Tan's plan.
However, no one dared to admit that the arrow was released by themselves. Feng Jiyan, who was not far away, saw Yuan Shang fall off his horse with an arrow, so he hurriedly rushed over, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and helped Yuan Shang up, but at this time, Yuan Shang was already out of breath.
"King Wei!!" Feng Ji looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, but he couldn't get Yuan Shang's life back, he looked at Yuan Tan with a separate face and shouted: "Yuan Tan, you dare to kill King Wei, even if I die, I must ask you for justice!" ”
After speaking, Feng Ji picked up a long sword on the ground and wiped it towards his neck, but before Yuan Tan could stop it, Feng Ji fell in a pool of blood all of a sudden.
"Mr. Feng died of martyrdom, but he is actually a loyal person in Jizhou, and he must bury Fengji with a good life, and at the same time treat Fengji's family well."
Yuan Tan sighed and gave the order. However, at this time, the news that Yuan Tan had killed Yuan Shang had slowly spread throughout Yecheng, and Zhang He and others saw that the situation in the city had been controlled by Yuan Tan at this time, and they were not willing to serve Yuan Tan who killed the new Wei king, so they led the soldiers and horses, temporarily evacuated Yecheng, and watched.
After a night of gunsmoke, Yuan Tan successfully took over Yecheng, the sky was just dawning, but Yuan Tan was still excited and did not feel a little sleepy, at this time, Xin Ping came to report: "The eldest prince, Liu Bei is here!" Hearing Xin Ping's title, Yuan Tan glared at him, "Isn't it that I can't be the king of Wei now?" ”
Xin Ping smiled and said: "What Gongzi said is extremely true, if there is no support from Liu Bei, I am afraid that Gongzi, the king of Wei, will not be able to act for the time being!" ”
Yuan Tan clenched his fists with both hands, his face was full of injustice, but he also knew that Liu Bei was indeed a big threat to him at this time.
"Okay, I'd like to see what he, the general of the defeated army, has something to say!"
Xin Ping on the side hurriedly said: "Don't be impulsive, although Liu Bei's army was defeated, but there was not much loss in strength, and our army was sleepy and lacking horses after this night of hard fighting, if Liu Bei suddenly made a mistake at this time, I am afraid that Yecheng will change hands again." I also hope that the son can endure it for a while, first obey Liu Bei's heart, and then slowly get rid of it. ”
Yuan Tan didn't speak and walked out. At this time, Liu Bei walked in with the second general Guan Zhang, looked at Yuan Tan and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the eldest prince for killing his brother and breaking Yecheng, it is really a happy event!" ”
Yuan Tan sneered and said, "Xuande Gong has won the award!" Yuan Shang died in the chaos, it was not my intention, and when I think about it now, I still feel pain in my heart. Xuande Gong was defeated by Yuan Shang before, and this time I can be regarded as avenging Xuande Gong, I don't know what Xuande Gong is here for today? ”
Liu Bei smiled and said: "The eldest prince, Liu Bei is here, naturally, to decide the position of the king of Wei, I don't know what the eldest prince thinks?" ”
Hearing Liu Bei's words, Xin Ping stepped forward and said, "Xuande Gong's words are wrong! Originally, the first king died, and this great throne was to be inherited by my son-in-law; was usurped by Yuan Shang before, and now that Yuan Shang has been defeated in the hands of my son-in-law, it is reasonable, this position is my son-in-law's, how can I talk about it? Could it be that Xuan Degong or did he deliberately fail to do so? ”
Although Xin Ping said very calmly, the anger in his heart was uncontrollable, he didn't expect Liu Bei to directly discuss the throne of King Wei openly. Liu Bei is not Yuan Shao's close relative, and he has no right to participate in it at all. Now, if Liu Bei hadn't held the military power in his hands, Liu Bei would have been killed on the spot long ago.
Liu Bei smiled and glanced at Xin Ping and Yuan Tan, "What if I want to discuss it?" ”
Yuan Tan couldn't help it anymore, and shouted: "Liu Bei, you don't want to be rampant!" Today, with the three of you here, no matter how brave you are, I don't believe that you will be the opponent of my army of tens of thousands, if you want to go out well, then serve me as the lord and respect me as the king; Otherwise, if you dare to say half a word, then I will let you never get out of this Yecheng! ”
Yuan Tan's words did not make Liu Bei feel any panic, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were already frightened at this time, and hurriedly clenched their respective weapons in their hands, looking around with fierce eyes.
"No, no, no! Son, I think it's appropriate for me to say this! Yuan Tan doesn't know where this Liu Bei's confidence comes from, but Liu Bei doesn't look like a lie at all, now he dares to break into Yecheng with three people, and directly threatens Yuan Tan, which means that Liu Bei must have a back hand, but what this back hand is, Yuan Tan doesn't know yet.
"Liu Bei! If you don't want to be alarmist, I don't believe it, you can still turn the sky upside down! Come on, quickly take down Liu Bei and the three of them for me, and if there is resistance, kill them on the spot! ”
Yuan Tan gave an order, and at this moment, Zhao Zhao and Guo Yuan and others not far away took soldiers and horses and slowly surrounded Liu Bei and the others.
