Chapter 413: The Second General of Hebei
After this battle, the four counties of Guangping, Julu, Anping and Bohai in Jizhou were all under the rule of Zhao Qian.
Zhao Qian's class returned to the dynasty, played the son of tomorrow, rewarded all the meritorious soldiers, and then arranged for officials to go to the prefecture and county to supervise them.
Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng to recuperate, leaving the generals Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran to guard Zhao Qian; the third son, Yuan Shang, defended Cao Cao; The eldest son, Yuan Tan, sat in Qingzhou to prevent Youzhou soldiers from committing crimes.
After this battle, Yuan Shao can be said to have suffered heavy losses, not only losing his troops and generals, his nephew and son, but also losing a large amount of territory, and the situation is very unfavorable.
Zhao Qian alone was able to attack Yuan Shao from three sides from Bingzhou, Hanoi, and Youzhou, plus Cao Cao of Yanzhou, who was already at odds with him, Yuan Shao was simply surrounded by enemies on all sides, and his situation was dangerous.
However, Zhao Qian did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, not because he wanted to let Yuan Shao go, but because Yuan Shao was deeply rooted in Jizhou, it was not an easy thing to uproot him.
Xun You doesn't quite understand this, he is the main battle; However, Guo Jia agreed that Zhao Qian would no longer enter the army.
Of course, all the generals are the main battle, so Zhao Qian threw the question to Guo Jia and asked him to explain.
Guo Jia didn't shirk it, so he thought about it.
Based on Guo Jia's thinking, Yuan Shao was sad and fell into the root of the disease, and this disease may not be cured.
As long as Yuan Shao falls ill, then his two good sons will definitely not be at peace.
Yuan Shao was once canonized as a lieutenant by the Son of Heaven, and was the actual owner of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and Yuan Tan and Yuan Shangke both wanted to inherit this great power.
According to the etiquette system, the elder does not establish the young, Yuan Tan was originally the legitimate heir, but Yuan Shao refused to establish an heir, and some people had other ideas.
Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang, was very handsome and loved by Yuan Shao, and took him with him all the year round, but he sent his eldest son Yuan Tan to Qingzhou, far away from the power center of Jizhou.
This gave his subordinates an idea, those who were close to Yuan Shang naturally wanted Yuan Shao to leave power to Yuan Shang, and those who supported Yuan Tan were strongly opposed.
The trial and Feng Ji strongly advocated the establishment of Yuan Shang as the heir, while Guo Tu argued on the basis of reason, Yuan Shao hesitated, and delayed the matter.
Unconsciously time was in a trance, and after the spring warmth of the following year, Zhen Mi gave birth to a son for Zhao Qian, named Yu.
Zhao Qian was overjoyed, feasted hundreds of officials, and Liu Wei, the son of heaven, also sent congratulations.
As soon as the happy event passed, Zhao Qian gathered all the civil and military forces to discuss the crusade against Yuan Shao, after all, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, the Yuan family would not be destroyed for a day, and Zhao Qian was uneasy for a day.
And the state, Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Bibi adjacent, on the side of the couch, how can they be allowed to sleep soundly!
At the same time, when Yuan Shao's illness in the previous year was slightly alleviated, he raised the intention of revenge and hatred, and discussed attacking and annexing the state.
After listening to the trial, he bluntly admonished: "The defeat of the last year, the military heart is committed; On the other hand, Zhao Qian, who got a son, the whole army was excited, and I thought that there should be a deep ditch and a high base to support the army and the people. ”
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said: "Zhao thief has a son, but I have lost a son, this hatred and hatred, one day will be unforgettable, if you don't take revenge, it will be difficult to sleep and eat!" ”
When the trial had to be persuaded again, a messenger ran in from outside, and reported in a panic: "Lord Qi, Zhao Qian once again raised troops and merged with the state, and came to Jizhou!" ”
Yuan Shao slapped the case in front of him hard, and said angrily: "If you wait for the Zhao thief soldiers to come to the city, they will go to the edge of the trench, and then we will reject the enemy, and everything will be over, I should lead the army to meet you!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shang, who returned to Yecheng to report the military situation, went out and said: "My father has just recovered from his illness and cannot go on an expedition, so my son is willing to raise troops to meet the enemy!" ”
Yuan Shao was greatly benefited by this, and was very happy, and hurriedly promised, and then sent someone to Qingzhou to ask Yuan Tan to send reinforcements.
Yuan Shang led his troops to the Liyang camp to investigate the reality of Zhao Qian's army, and wanted to charge the battle to kill the enemy, making a great achievement, so that he would occupy advantageous conditions in the competition with his eldest brother.
And since Yuan Shang killed Xu Huang's general Shi Jian in front of the battle, he has been very conceited about his martial arts, and he has tried to show off his martial arts.
Therefore, after Yuan Shang was stationed in Liyang, before Yuan Tan's reinforcements arrived, he led tens of thousands of troops to fight to meet Zhao Qian's army, wanting to make a contribution!
It's just that after Yuan Shang sent his troops, Zhao Qian sent his general Tai Shici to greet him, and the two fought with guns and halberds, and without three rounds, Yuan Shang couldn't stop it, and retreated in defeat.
Tai Shi Ci looked at Yuan Shang who was fleeing, smiled coldly, took off the iron bow hanging under the horse's neck, bent the bow and set up the arrow, and with a whoosh, a sharp arrow shot towards Yuan Shang like a meteor!
At this time, Yuan Shang still didn't know that if there was no accident, Yuan Shang's ending would be that he was killed by an arrow.
It's just that......
While!
A big knife suddenly crossed Yuan Shang's back, blocking Tai Shici's sharp arrow and saving his life.
Hearing the sound, Yuan Shang turned around, and when he saw this, cold sweat suddenly rolled down his forehead, and he didn't feel that he had turned around in the ghost gate.
"Thank you General Zhang for rescuing me, when I return to Yecheng, I will definitely ask my father to reward him!" Yuan Shang hurriedly shouted to the general.
Zhang He frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Third son, now is not the time to talk about this, retreat quickly, after I break off with Jingzhi, the son retreats quickly!" ”
At this time, Zhao Qian had already urged the army to cover up and kill the Yuan army, Yuan Shang saw this situation, and he couldn't care about it, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Then there are General Lao Zhang and General Gao." ”
After that, Yuan Shang turned his horse's head, led his relatives to escort him, and fled.
Seeing Yuan Shang withdrawing, Tai Shi Ci secretly hated in his heart, shouted, urged the horse to advance, and rushed up, but before he was in front of Zhang He, suddenly a big axe came from the side, Tai Shi Ci was shocked, and hurriedly raised the double halberd in his hand and held the big axe.
The two held each other for a moment, and then separated, Tai Shici was furious and shouted, "Who is Er? Dare to stand in my way! ”
Gao Ran crossed the big axe in his hand and said loudly: "I am Gao Ran in the river, and I am here to kill Er and other traitors!" ”
"How daring!" Tai Shici was furious, and he stabbed with a halberd, and the two fought together.
Zhang He was worried about Gao Lan's safety, so he urged him to step forward, and at this moment, Xu Huang came out and stopped Zhang He.
The four generals fought against each other, but Zhao Qian's army also killed, and the Yuan army was killed and lost his armor, howling and crying out.
After a while, the generals behind Zhao Qian came, Xu Chu saw it, urged the horse to enter, and together with Tai Shici, attacked Gao Ran.
Originally, Gao Ran and Tai Shi Ci were up and down, but now Xu Chu joined, he couldn't insist, and when he wanted to turn the horse back, the horse under him was hit by Tai Shi Ci, and even the people and the horse fell down, and before he got up, he was forked by Tai Shi Ci's double halberd, and he couldn't move.
On the other side, Zhang He was shocked when he saw it, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Zhao Qian had already rushed to kill him, and he tried his best to block Xu Huang away, and directly urged the horse to kill Zhao Qian!
"Zhao thief, take your life!" Zhang He shouted from afar.
Zhang Fei next to Zhao Qian snorted coldly, and was about to urge the black wind forward, but Zhao Qian stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "Since it is coming to me, I will meet in person for a while!" ”
