Chapter 5 – The Death of Yuan Shao

In fact, as Lu Xun guessed, Cao Cao had already led his troops towards Jizhou.

When Yuan Shao heard the news, he was shocked and hurriedly summoned everyone to come to the meeting.

When everyone learned that Cao Cao Ying was coming with a large army, they all frowned and were silent.

After Yuan Shao looked around at the crowd, he slowly spoke: "If you wait until the soldiers come to the city, they will reach the edge of the trench, and then resist the enemy, it will be too late!" I should personally lead the army to greet you! ”

Yuan Shang heard Yuan Shao's words, hurriedly stepped forward, saluted and asked: "Father is not well ill, he can't go on an expedition, and his son is willing to raise troops to meet the enemy!" ”

Regarding Yuan Shang's words, Yuan Shao couldn't help but nod approvingly, agreed to Yuan Shang's request, and at the same time sent people to Qingzhou and Youzhou, and informed Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Gao Gan that they would march immediately, and after joining Yuan Shang, they would break Cao Cao's army together.

However, what Yuan Shao didn't expect was that after Yuan Shang beheaded Shi Lian from the battle, he was conceited, and without waiting for Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Gao Gan to lead the army, he had already led tens of thousands of troops out of Liyang to meet the front team of Cao's army.

Zhang Liao saw Yuan Shang leading the army coming, so he took the lead and rushed towards Yuan Shang.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Shang, who was confident and slow, immediately came to fight with a gun.

However, the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

In less than three rounds, Yuan Shang was already unable to parry and fled in defeat.

Zhang Liao looked at Yuan Shang's fleeing figure, snorted coldly with disdain, and led the army behind him to take advantage of the situation to cover the kill.

In this regard, Yuan Shang suddenly had no idea, how could he think of commanding the army to counterattack, and hurriedly led the army back to Jizhou.

And Yuan Shao in Jizhou heard that Yuan Shang was defeated, and he was frightened again, and the old illness relapsed, and after shouting "rebel", he vomited blood several times and fainted to the ground.

After his wife Liu learned the news that Yuan Shao was in a coma, she hurriedly rescued him into the bedroom, but Yuan Shao was already critically ill at this time.

After Zhang Liao returned to the camp victoriously, he informed Cao Cao of the previous battle.

After Cao Cao heard Zhang Liao's statement, he couldn't help but chuckle: "Yuan Benchu's son also dares to fight with Wen Yuan, is he too confident, or is he looking for death!" ”

"It's unlucky to have such a son in the first place!"

After looking around at the people in the tent, Cao Cao turned his gaze to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, what do you think our army should do next?" ”

Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's words and chuckled: "At this moment, Yuan Shao is at the end of the road, the lord should take advantage of the victory to pursue and fight!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jia suddenly coughed.

Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's coughing sound, remembered the deceased Xi Zhicai, couldn't help but worry, and asked, "Fengxiao, are you okay?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head, picked up the wine jug beside him, raised his head and took a sip, then said to Cao Cao: "Don't worry, my lord, I have nothing to do, the most important thing now is not to give Yuan Shao a chance!" ”

Cao Cao frowned when he heard Guo Jia's words.

After being silent for a long time, he nodded to Guo Jia: "I know!" Just Bonghyo you don't want to participate in this battle! ”

Without giving Guo Jia a chance to refute, Cao Cao took his eyes off Guo Jia's body, looked at everyone and said: "Zhang Liao, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, the three of you lead an army of 30,000 to attack the east gate of Yecheng!" ”

"Xu Chu, Zhang He, Gao Lan, the three of you also led an army of 30,000 to attack the west gate of Yecheng!"

"Cao Hong, Cao Ren, the two of you follow me and attack the south gate of Yecheng!"

"I hope that tonight, I can rest in Yecheng!"

Cao Cao's words fell, and the generals immediately stepped forward and saluted.

When Guo Jia saw this scene, he knew that he couldn't change Cao Cao's order, so he could only chuckle helplessly and shook his head: "In this case, I wish the lord that he will be able to break through Yecheng today!" ”

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, smiled and nodded, and then led the generals out of the camp tent, and each led the army towards Yecheng.

When Cao Cao's army approached Yecheng, Yuan Shao was still in a coma at this time, and he could not make effective arrangements for Yecheng to defend the city.

Seeing this, Feng Ji and the others could only temporarily take over the responsibility of guarding the city.

Cao Cao looked at the towering walls of Yecheng, took a deep breath, and then pulled out the Yitian Sword at his waist, pointed to Yecheng not far away, and said, "Kill!" ”

With Cao Cao's order, the three-way army quickly moved and attacked the east, west, and south gates of Yecheng.

Feng Ji was also shocked when he saw Cao Jun attacking the city on three sides, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers defending the city: "Quick, the archers release their arrows!" ”

With Feng Ji's order, a rain of arrows was quickly shot from above the tower of Yecheng.

Zhang Liao and the others, who led the army, frowned slightly when they saw this scene, and soon ordered the sword and shield soldiers to step forward with their shields, and the archers counterattacked.

However, after all, the Cao army is the besieging party, and it is difficult for the archers' arrows to hit the defenders on the city wall, but the Yuan army shoots with the high city wall, occupying a favorable position, even if the Cao army is defended by sword and shield soldiers, it is still very easy to shoot the Cao army.

Even the sword and shield soldiers were not necessarily able to block the arrows of the Yuan army, and often the arrows passed through the shields in the hands of the sword and shield soldiers, and directly hit the soldiers hiding under them.

Although Cao Cao was frustrated by this, there was no good way but to continue to press the army under his command.

And after Feng Jijing, he was also a lot more relieved, and commanded the Yuan army to defend the city.

Although the losses of the Cao army were greater than those of the Yuan army, under the continuous attack of the soldiers, they still came to the foot of Yecheng and set up a ladder.

……

After a day's time, Yuan Shao, who was in a coma, slowly woke up, listened to the noise coming from outside the house, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on outside?" ”

Yuan Shang heard Yuan Shao's question, and hurriedly stepped forward to answer: "Father, now Cao Cao is attacking the city outside, and Feng Ji and others are leading soldiers to defend the city!" ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately got startled from the couch: "What did you say? ”

"Father, Cao Cao is calling!"

Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shang and frowned.

However, perhaps because of his short life, Yuan Shao once again had the heroic spirit he had when he rebelled against Dong Zhuo: "Cao Apu dared to do this, put on armor for me, and wait for me to fight!" ”

"Father!"

"I said, put on my armor!"

Yuan Shang heard Yuan Shao's angry shouting, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only arrange someone to wear armor for him.

However, as soon as Yuan Shao finished putting on his armor, a soldier came to report that Yecheng had been broken.

Hearing the news, Yuan Shao's heart couldn't help but be shocked, he glanced at Yuan Shang beside him, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Shang'er, you run away quickly!" ”

"What about you, father!"

Yuan Shao shook his head, ignored Yuan Shang, and walked out of his room.

Yuan Shang looked at the back of Yuan Shao's departure, gritted his teeth, and turned around and fled: "Father, you asked me to escape!" ”

……

Cao Cao's army had just broken through Yecheng, and it poured into Yecheng.

Feng Ji and the others saw that the city was broken, and hurriedly led the remnants to flee towards the north gate, where there was no Cao army to guard.

Cao Cao held the Yitian Sword in his hand and led the generals towards Yuan Shao's mansion.

As soon as he walked into the room, Cao Cao's pupils couldn't help shrinking, and he saw that Yuan Shao was wearing armor in the middle of the room, holding a long sword in his hand, and looked at Cao Cao quietly.

"Originally, this is all over!"

"yes, it's over!" Hearing Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shao slowly walked towards Cao Cao.

"Do you still want to fight?"

Yuan Shao ignored Cao Cao, and rushed towards Cao Cao with his sword.

Cao Cao's brows furrowed slightly, he had already seen that Yuan Shao at this time was just holding on!

With a random sword, the long sword in Yuan Shao's hand was picked and flew to the ground, and even Yuan Shao couldn't help but fall to the ground.

Cao Cao stepped forward slowly, pointing his sword at Yuan Shao, who was constantly struggling to get up from the ground, silent.

Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao and said hatefully: "Damn! Cao Cao...... Are you trying to kill me? ”

"Kill me, my childhood friend...... Is this Han family famous? ”

"You should be under me!"

Cao Cao heard Yuan Shao's words, and after being silent for a moment, he said coldly: "Don't say any more, Yuan Shao!" This will lower your status! ”

"The prestige of the famous clan, the powerful army, the strength is obviously strong, but is it still clinging to the decaying world?"

Yuan Shao frowned: "You...... What are you talking about, Cao Cao? ”

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao, sneered disdainfully, and then stared at Yuan Shao and said, "You will lose because you don't understand what I'm talking about!" ”

"That's goodbye, Yuan Shao!"

"I will surpass you and go out into the world!"

As soon as the words fell, Cao Cao swung his sword at Yuan Shao, bringing up a line of blood......
