Jizhou has been decided, Yuan Shang fled to Zhongshan, Zhang Yan was ordered by Zhao Qian, led the people of Montenegro to fight against the remnants of Yuan Shang, and there was no need for Zhao Qian to worry.

Today's target is Yuan Tan.

After Zhao Qian attacked Jizhou and Yuan Shang withdrew the siege of Pingyuan City, Yuan Tan did not stop for a moment, recaptured all the Ganling and Anping lands that were previously captured by Yuan Shang, recruited soldiers, and gathered forces.

Because Yuan Tan had sent a letter to Zhao Qian before, Zhao Qian directly ordered someone to send Yuan Tan to see him.

Of course, the result was not as expected by Zhao Qian, the former Yuan Tan pretended to surrender, and now that he was summoned, he would definitely not come.

So, Zhao Qian sent a war letter to the plains, and then led a large army to conquer Yuan Tan.

After Yuan Tan heard this, he was quite shocked, and according to Guo Tu's plan, he hurriedly asked for help from Liu Biao in Jingzhou, wanting to attack the north and south and attack Zhao Qian together.

It's just that Yuan Tan didn't expect that Liu Biao had long been scared by Zhao Qian, and now that he was guarding the nine counties of Jingxiang, he didn't have the heart to provoke Zhao Qian at all.

And the other families in Jingzhou are also in favor of Zhao Qian, so naturally they will not be stupid enough to do thankless deeds.

Without Liu Biao's assistance, Yuan Tan thought of Liu Bei again, but Liu Bei was now facing Cao Cao's crazy attack, and it would be good to be able to hold Xuzhou.

So, Yuan Tan, who had no way to ask for help, discussed with Guo Tuyi and decided to give up the plains, retreat to Nanpi, and stay away from Zhao Qian!

At this time, the weather is cold, the river is frozen, and the grain cannot be transported by water, which is quite inconvenient.

Therefore, someone suggested that Zhao Qian should withdraw his troops first, consolidate the results, and wait for the spring of the next year to melt, and then deal with Yuan Tan.

Zhao Qian asked Guo Jia's opinion on this, but Guo Jia thought that he should take this opportunity to defeat Yuan Tan in one fell swoop.

Yuan's business in Jizhou and Qingzhou for many years, deep-rooted, now Yuan Shang fled to Zhongshan, with Zhang Yan to deal with, it is basically over, there is still Yuan Tan left, and he must not let go.

As long as Yuan Tan has almost a breather, in a short period of time, he will gather a large force, and when the time comes, he will attack again, and the damage will be even more.

Zhao Qian agreed with Guo Jia's analysis, and threw out two very weighty verses: "It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord."

As a result, Zhao Qian's army was united in their hearts and minds, and they rushed towards Nanpi City.

Yuan Tan panicked, and the idea of surrendering arose, but at this time Xin Bi was already under Zhao Qian's tent, so he had to order Xin Bi's brother Xin Ping to go.

Xin commented that this person is different from Xin Bi, and there is no need to say much about his knowledge, but his eloquence is not as good as that of his younger brother.

When he came to Zhao Qian's camp, Xin Ping informed Zhao Qian of Yuan Tan's idea of surrendering.

Zhao Qian snorted coldly and said: "Yuan Tan Xiao'er, capricious, he has surrendered to this general before, but now he regrets it, it is really hateful!" Why don't you stay in my tent and join my brother to assist the general? ”

Xin Ping shook his head and said: "The general's words are wrong, I have served the Yuan family for a long time, how can I turn my back on it?" ”

"In that case, let's go back and tell Yuan Tan that General Ben will only see him in front of the battle!" Zhao Qian issued an eviction order.

Xin Ping returned to Nanpi City and told Yuan Tan all of Zhao Qian's words, and Yuan Tan reprimanded: "It's just a trivial matter, and it can't be done!" Your brother has descended, and you also have two hearts! ”

Xin Ping was shocked, blushed, and defended: "I can learn from my heart! ”

Yuan Tan snorted coldly, waved his long sleeves, and didn't believe it at all.

Xin Ping saw Yuan Tan treating himself like this, he couldn't help but feel tight in his chest and panting, his face was red and his ears were red, and his chest was full of breath, and suddenly his eyes were dark, he fainted and fell to the ground, and within three moments, he was dying.

Poor Xin commented on the loyal ministers, who were depressed and angry to death, Yuan Tan saw this, and also regretted it, so he had to ask Guo Tu, "What is the plan now?" ”

Guo Tu said: "I have received the news that the heroes of Mount Tai want to savior the Lord in danger, but it is imminent now, I am afraid it is too late." ”

Yuan Tan was extremely angry, and said: "I don't believe that Zhao Qian is so powerful, tomorrow I will do my best to serve as a sergeant in the city, and I don't believe that I can't retreat from Zhao Thief!" ”

Guo Tu still wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Yuan Tan angry and Xin Ping died unexpectedly, he swallowed the words in his mouth alive.

Early the next morning, Yuan Tan prepared the army and horses, and with an order, all four doors were opened, and the sergeants in the city shouted loudly and killed together.

Zhao Qian saw it, the military order was issued, and Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Xu Huang and other generals led their troops and horses to kill and run away.

The two armies fought in a scuffle, from the time of Chen, until noon, Yuan Tan fought to the death, which greatly boosted morale, and even fought equally.

When Zhao Qian saw it, his brows furrowed, he couldn't help it anymore, he stepped across the horse, and the snow rouge horse under him was like a flying hong, sweeping down, and a cloud-piercing spear flew up and down, constantly taking away the lives of the enemy.

When the soldiers saw this situation, they couldn't help but be surprised, even the generals took the lead, where is there any reason not to fight hard?

Yuan Tan finally couldn't resist the attack, and the sergeants were killed countless times, and Yuan Tanxiang fled from the chaos, not wanting to meet Zhang Fei just in time.

There was no accident, no luck, Zhang Feizhang's eight snake spear spear stabbed out, steady, accurate, and ruthless, and pierced Yuan Tan's throat with one shot.

Seeing this situation, Guo Tu hurriedly rushed to the city, wanting to defend the city and support Mount Tai to help.

It's just that Tai Shi Ci's eyes are quick, he draws a bow and an arrow, and an arrow shoots out, Guo Tu, who is about to run into the city gate, even people and horses, directly hit the city wall.

After the war subsided, Zhao Qian ordered people to rectify the battlefield, lead his subordinates, enter the city, put up a list to calm the people, and reorganize the household registration.

On the second day, Zhang Yan led more than 10,000 troops to Ben Nanpi, and at the same time, Yuan Shang's head was also brought.

Zhao Qian was overjoyed, and named Zhang Yan as the general of Zhenbei and the marquis of Pingyuan.

Until this time, the Yuan clan was finally destroyed, and Jizhou and Qingzhou would no longer have forces that could threaten Zhao Qian.

However, just when Zhao Qian was celebrating, the Feixun battalion came to report that there were Taishan thieves Sun Guan, Yin Li, and Chang Feng with 20,000 soldiers, who came to Nanpi, burning, killing and looting along the way, and doing all kinds of evil.

Zhao Qian was furious, Zhang Yan had just won the reward, and felt that he had to make a meritorious achievement, so he went out and said: "Don't worry, the lord is willing to lead the people of Montenegro, and he will be a group of Taishan in a while!" ”

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "That's very good, Zhang Yan listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"Command you to lead the Black Mountain Army and face the Taishan thieves head-on!" Zhao Qian said.

Zhang Yan hugged his fists and said: "Take the order!" ”

"Xu Huang, Tai Shici!" Zhao Qian shouted again, "Order the second general of you, lead the left and right armies, and help General Zhang from the side!" ”

"No!"

The three generals received the order, ordered the troops and horses, and came out of Nanpi City to meet the Taishan thieves.

Zhang Yan took the lead, leading the Montenegrin army as the vanguard, just when Mount Tai came to help, the two armies lined up, Zhang Fei came out of the formation and said: "Bold Taishan thief, how dare you raise troops to attack?" ”

Sun Guan looked at the banner opposite, learned that someone was coming, and replied: "You are also a thief in the Black Mountain, how dare you deceive us?" ”

Zhang Yan was furious and said: "I am the general of Zhenbei, how can I compare with you and the others?" Get off your horse and be killed! ”
