Under the eaves of the Yuan Mansion, in the open doorway, Mrs. Liu sat on the seat, listening to Zhen Ji's words.

The daughter-in-law didn't dare to question her mother's decision, but the family and everything was prosperous, they were all a family, so why should they guard against each other. Why did my husband, who is also your son, pass by outside the city with his troops, but he is not allowed to enter? ”

Mrs. Liu looked at the young daughter-in-law's stunning appearance, and it was even more regrettable that she was not married to her favorite son. originally wanted to take her as a hostage and coerce Yuan Xi to fight against Yuan Tan together, but who knew that Yuan Xi suddenly said that he would leave and leave, leaving his unwilling eldest son blocked outside the city, scolding and fighting every day.

Zhen Ji has no city in her chest, according to her majesty, she can be suppressed, she is a woman, but she can't set off many storms. It's just that the old man Yuan Fu suddenly supported his old body between the two sides, but it made her, the housewife, have to give him this face. However, with Yuan Fu's wind and candle in his last year, it is also a question whether he can survive this winter.

Under the east gate of Yecheng, the defenders poured out of the nest, went out of the moat, and fought hard with the Qingzhou soldiers, Yuan Tan still did not listen to the persuasion after all, neither left nor attacked the city. And without the containment of the Beida Battalion, Yuan Shang still took the lead after all.

The two sides left behind hundreds of corpses and each withdrew their troops. The wall of brothers has existed since ancient times. However, under Cao Cao's watchful eye and the pen of that peerless and talented strategist, such an ugly war can only reflect the limitations of both sides.

When Yuan Xi returned to Beidi Ji County, he received an express report from Yecheng. Yuan Tan couldn't hold it after all, and he still didn't have enough food and grass and withdrew to the plain.

He immediately ordered to send grain and grass to Yuan Tan.

Lu Fang, who had been depressed for a whole winter, suddenly said: "The meaning of the second son is to ask them to fight each other. ”

"the ass!" Yuan Xi said: "If you don't give my eldest brother some support, I'm really afraid that he will surrender to Cao Cao." ”

Lu Fangdao: "How is this possible, he is also the eldest son of the Yuan family, how can he take refuge in others?" ”

"Anything is possible for the sake of profit. Make a plan, once Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang takes refuge in Cao Cao, what are we going to do. ”

"Yes."

Tian Chou said: "We have done a survey of Nanpi before, formulated a few plans, and asked the second son to take a look. ”

Yuan Xi said: "I'm also unprofessional in fighting, you can watch it." As long as the majority agrees, you make a decision. If there is a serious disagreement, let's discuss it again. By the way, how is Gao Shun's training? Did Hou Cheng and Wei Xu's heads see it before? ”

"I only showed him Song Xian's head...... The other two chiefs arrived later, when General Gao Shun had already begun to train his troops. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Very good, I'm really looking forward to it, this time I hit Nanpi, he will be the pioneer." ”

Just half a month after Yuan Tan returned to Qingzhou, after Yuan Shang stabilized the situation in Yecheng, Yuan Shao's body recovered and on the third day after he regained control of the overall situation, an army quietly came outside Nanpi City, which had nothing to do with the war.

The terrain to the north of Nanpi City had been explored last time, and Yuan Xi set up the command office on a mound to facilitate the observation of the situation inside and outside the city.

The original plan was a blitzkrieg, with a large number of cavalry raiding the city gates, and then breaking into the camp and quickly capturing the palace.

Nanpi City has been comfortable for a long time, and there is no vigilance, so it is easy to let the troops from Youzhou hide twenty miles away. Outside Nanpi City, there is a garrison, but the discipline is loose, and the last time Yuan Shang wanted to build a garrison, he also bypassed this army. It can be seen that this force is really hopeless.

However, just as Yuan Xi was about to give the order to start the plan, the Nanpi City Gate was suddenly closed.

"It's amazing...... Where are we exposed? ”

Several people in the General Staff looked at each other, with question marks on their faces over the planning drawings, and asked each other, but it was really difficult to understand.

Yuan Xi said: "You don't have to cling to the plan, send someone to investigate, what about the internal response in the city?" ”

The gates were closed in the morning, and it stands to reason that they would take advantage of the midday raid to end the battle before evening, and then close the gates and bring the troops from outside the city to the rescue, taking the opportunity to ambush them halfway. However, at this time, the city gates were not opened, and a series of plans were difficult to carry out.

After an hour, the soldiers who had gone to inquire about the news returned, bringing with them a shocking piece of news.

There is a rebellion in the city of Nanpi!

For a while, Yuan Xi and the others were speechless.

Obviously decided to attack Nanpi, but he never thought that such a thing would happen. You can't blame the poor planning, it's really one in a million.

There are several wealthy families in Nanpi City, which are deeply rooted, and this time it is actually a joint rebellion of several families. In fact, it is easy to understand that Yuan Shao was defeated in the Battle of Guandu, and most of the elite troops were buried south of the Yellow River, resulting in an imbalance in the balance of forces between Yuan and Cao. I am afraid that for a long time in the future, Yuan Shao will be in the position of the defensive side. At this time, the best at hearing the wind is the former supporter of Yuan Shao, Nanpi's big family. These people have a keen sense of smell, and after analyzing the situation, they have to discuss taking sides.

Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "Although this kind of thing happened, it is not a good thing. Immediately launch a siege battle, climb the walls, and fight your way in. When we take control of Nanpi, we will be able to counter the rebellion. I was worried that there was no reasonable excuse. ”

Tian Chou said: "I'm afraid the casualties will be very large......

Yuan Xi said: "Not necessarily. They launched a rebellion, that is, a matter of a few hours, I am afraid that there are still some opponents in the city, and the defenders may not be able to deploy in time, if they are fast, they can not be bloodless. ”

Tian Chou said: "Then you have to gamble." ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "Then take a gamble......"

Two hours later, Nanpi was already under Yuan Xi's control.

The newly formed trap camp took the lead, and in the case of the reaction of the guards, they attacked the east and west, and successfully climbed the city wall with only two ladders, and then 300 people controlled the city gate, and more than 700 people entered the city, no matter who it was, they were invincible.

When Yuan Xi entered the Nanpi Taishou Mansion, the hall was already kneeling with people who started a rebellion. These dignitaries and nobles are all high on weekdays, but at this time, they are all on the ground.

They also thought that the garrison outside the city might come to quell the rebellion, but they definitely did not expect that the troops who came to quell the rebellion would come so quickly. They originally thought of relying on the towering walls of Nanpi to tie up a fence to keep the enemy out, but they didn't expect that only 1,000 people could take down the entire Nanpi.

The person who spearheaded the rebellion was a man named Han Jin, who took the initiative to contact Cao Cao's side and encourage various big families to participate. At this time, he knelt on the ground, shook his head again and again, and sighed: "The troops outside Nanpi City haven't come yet, but your troops from Youzhou have come, I really didn't expect it." He raised his head and said, "Second Prince Yuan, it's really a coincidence." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Thank you very much, Your Excellency." ”
