Seeing Cao Cao's army retreating like a tide, Yuan Shang was relieved, and his hands climbed on the rough stone bricks of the women's wall, and he let out a breath.

Behind him, the judge asked anxiously, "Third Prince, should we open the city gate to pursue?" Such a great opportunity. ”

Yuan Shangdao: "Pursuit? Forget how you failed miserably last time? I see that there must be a conspiracy for them to withdraw. Ordered, hold the gates tightly. ”

The judge said: "What if the eldest prince wants to enter the city?" ”

Yuan Shang said: "No." ”

"This ......"

Yuan Shangdao: "There is no time, we have to think about it, now that my father's death is exposed, it may be my eldest brother's conspiracy." He deliberately formed an alliance with Cao Cao, led Cao's soldiers to besiege the city, and then leaked the news of his father's death, forcing us to mourn, but he came to the limelight as reinforcements. Now our guards know that the person who saved their lives is my eldest brother, and he is the one who gets the benefits. How do I deal with myself? Give him this position? ”

The judge said: "But a few days ago, the third son, you personally promised the second son, saying that you would give him the Sizhao Sword and give up the position of the heir." ”

Yuan Shangdao: "That's an expedient measure...... Now I can see it clearly, everything is my eldest brother's plan, and he deliberately used Cao ** to give me up his seat. ”

The judge muttered: "No, the eldest prince didn't expect the lord to go so quickly...... Besides, if he has this wisdom, he will not be able to have only one city on the plains. ”

Yuan Shang said: "Needless to say, go back and discuss." ”

At this time, Feng Ji led a group of civil servants to come, and the two sides met under the city wall. Feng Ji held a cloth with ink stains and many small characters written on it, and said to Yuan Shang: "The lord has passed away, and he wrote a suicide note before he died, designating the third prince to inherit his position, and asking the third prince to notify the whole army to calm the army." ”

Yuan Shang was stunned, when Yuan Shang died, he saw it, he just gave the Sizhao Sword to the second brother, when will there be an extra suicide note? He took a look, and the ink on it seemed to be new, so he looked at Feng Ji, and saw that this guy was glaring at him, so he understood, and suddenly let out a howl.

This thunderous cry startled everyone nearby.

I only heard Yuan Shang crying and said: "Father, the child will definitely do his best to lead the soldiers to work together to fight against the Cao thief." ”

All the scribes stepped forward to comfort Yuan Shang, telling him to "mourn and change, and focus on major events." Only the judge pulled Feng Ji and whispered: "Are you crazy? Dare to tamper with the lord's testament, are you not afraid of the East Window incident in the future? ”

Feng Ji said: "I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid that the eldest prince Yuan Tan swaggered into the city." Guo Tu Na has always had an opinion about me, if the eldest prince succeeds to the throne, can the two of us continue to mix? ”

The judge immediately fell silent, feeling that it made sense. Not to mention the personal grudges between Feng Ji and Guo Tu, let's just say that he is the position of the defender of Yecheng, if Yuan Tan enters the city, he will be the first to replace him.

This is not counting the big families behind each person, these wealthy families between different factions are also surging undercurrents now. The people who support each other are different, and it's hard for the butts to sit together. Yuan Shang's succession to the throne was obviously the best option for them. Of course, they also knew that since the defeat of Guandu, these big families were also actively contacting the people on Cao Cao's side and betting on both ends. I'm afraid they're all going to be outcasts.

Yuan Tan repelled Cao's army in one breath and chased him for four or five miles, and then slowly gathered his team and came in the direction of Yecheng.

This time, he used his life and fought bravely, which is reasonable. The key lies in the Sizhao Sword in his hand, and the generals have already understood that Yuan Tan will inherit Yuan Shao's position, and he will definitely be rewarded after entering the city. So they all worked hard, hoping to occupy a good position in the future.

But when they returned to the gate of Yecheng, Yuan Tan raised his Sizhao sword and waved it at Yecheng, but they were greeted by a scattered cluster of arrows.

Yuan Tan said angrily: "Third child, come out!" I came all the way to save you, how can you refuse people to be outside the city, do you believe it or not, I will attack the city immediately? ”

A head appeared on the head of the city, and it was Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang had no choice, if he didn't confront his eldest brother, then the generals under his command wouldn't believe him in anything. After all, his father's sword was in his hands.

"Big brother, on behalf of my late father, I would like to thank you for your rescue. I have already arranged for the Beida Camp for you to station, please move to the Beida Camp as soon as possible. ”

"How can it be!" Yuan Tan said: "You open the door quickly, I want to enter the city." My father has passed away, and I am the head of the Yuan family, and I will have the final say here. ”

Yuan Shang shouted: "I'm sorry, my father personally passed on the word before he died, and he has designated the younger brother as the heir to inherit the title of general." For the sake of everyone's brothers, I persuaded the eldest brother not to break through. And the sword in your hand, I asked someone to give it to you, this is just a token, and it has no other meaning. ”

Yuan Tan said angrily: "You dare to tamper with your father's last words? My sword was given to me by the second brother himself, can it be fake? ”

Yuan Shang sighed on the women's wall and rushed left and right: "Shoot!" ”

This time, it was no longer a few bows and arrows scattered here, but a dense crowd of flying in the sky.

The soldiers beside Yuan Tan immediately raised their big shields and pulled Yuan Tan's horse and ran out. While running, Yuan Tan scolded: "This kid is really rebellious!" ”

When he ran out of the archery area, Guo Tu, who had slender eyes, greeted him, and he kept dragging it out at the end, and when he learned about it, he came up and suggested: "Lord, this matter must not be settled like this." ”

"What's your idea?"

"Since they don't admit it, let's call ourselves the general of the chariot cavalry, anyway, everyone has their own opinions, and they don't necessarily mean that they are the real generals."

"Reputation is secondary. Now that Yecheng is in the hands of the third child, what should I do? ”

"Yecheng Chengjian, we can't beat it."

"Is it just going back? I'm afraid that halfway through, morale will be gone. ”

Guo Tu said: "Although Yecheng can't take it, there are many small towns and counties along the way, and the pavilion pottery and gall pottery are all important grain storage towns. At that time, although the third prince is guarding Yecheng, he is already alone, what is the use? ”

Yuan Tan listened, his brows furrowed, and there was a smile on his face, and he said, "It's really yours, let's go, just do it." ”

However, before he could take a step, someone suddenly shouted: "Cao Jun is back again!" ”

Everyone looked south together, and suddenly there was a black pressure at the end of the field of vision, and the terrifying Cao Jun was killed again.

The tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun, who was dressed in white and white armor, rushed to the front line, and the huge sound of hooves made the earth tremble.

Yuan Tan said: "What are you afraid of, it's not this group of people who were killed by us just now." ”

Guo Tuyi pulled his sleeve and whispered: "What Cao Jun wants to fight is Yecheng, we can't kill people for Yecheng, it's better to evacuate as soon as possible." Let the third son carry it alone. ”

Yuan Tan said: "You're right. Everyone, get out. ”

Unexpectedly, the retreat was too violent, and the road turned into a rout.
