Yuan Shao's funeral was conducted in accordance with the courtesy of the prince, and the ceremony was complicated and solemn. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info funeral by Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi officiated, Jizhou officials and generals all came to watch the ceremony to mourn Yuan Gong, Tian Jing came from afar to be a guest and was also in the mourning crowd.

Only Yuan Tan said that he was sick in the future, and everyone talked about it, but Yuan Shang didn't say anything, and everyone was surprised.

After the funeral, Yuan Shang Yuan Xi thanked all the people who participated in the funeral, and when he arrived at Tian Jing, Yuan Shang said, "General Zhengbei lived and died with my Jizhou soldiers and horses in order to resist Cao, and Shang Dai's father thanked the general." is still a shallow learner, and he will have to rely on generals more in the future. ”

Tian Jing said: "Yuan Gong is in Japan, and you and I have formed an alliance. Today, the general is in charge of the four counties of Hebei, and Tian Jing is also willing to form an alliance with the general Yong to fight against Cao Cao. However, I have been in Jizhou for almost a year, and I have not heard the war in Hedong, so I really can't rest assured. Today, he was about to resign to the general, hoping to take over the annexation and return to Hedong with his troops. ”

Yuan Shang was not surprised by Tian Jing's resignation, after all, after the end of the Battle of Guandu, the other party had no reason to stay in Jizhou, and he did not have the ability to recruit Tian Jing. Yuan Shang politely wanted to let go, so he no longer persuaded him, and asked people to arrange to prepare customs documents for Tian Jing.

After Tian Jing said goodbye, Gao Gan also said, "Third brother, this Cao Cao has withdrawn his army, there will be no major war for the time being, and I also hope to return to the state station as soon as possible." ”

Yuan Shang said, "Cousin, don't worry. Before his father died, he made a will with a reward for his cousin. The cousin can go with the second brother to visit his mother first. After I sent the guests to the front office, I went to my cousin and told me about the will. ”

Gao Gan did not doubt that he had him, and he was a little moved when he heard that there was a reward, so he followed Yuan Xi into the inner house to see Yuan Shang's mother. Yuan Shao's first wife, Gao, was Yuan Tan's mother and Gao Gan's aunt, but died many years ago. Today's wife, Liu, is the biological mother of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang.

Gao Gan naturally couldn't bring guards when he entered the inner house, and when he arrived at the second gate of the inner house, Yuan Xi asked Gao Gan to go first, and Gao Gan did not doubt him. How do you know that as soon as you enter the hospital, a big net was cast from the sky, which happened to trap Gao Gan. Then four guards came out from all sides and tied Gao Gan strongly. Gao Gan looked at Yuan Xi and said angrily, "Second brother, what do you mean?" ”

Yuan Xi had a look of guilt on his face, and only said: "The general will come to see you in a while, and you will know when you ask." ”

After a while, Yuan Shang came and interrogated Gao Gan in the secret room, "Gao Gan, are you guilty?" ”

Gao Gan said angrily, "I have been guarding the Yuan clan for many years, and this time the war was transferred to Hanoi to support Liyang, I don't know what the crime is?" ”

Yuan Shangdao, "You colluded with Yuan Tan and wanted to harm me, but you still dare to quibble, and you didn't invite me quickly?" ”

Gao Gan was shocked, could it be that Yuan Shang knew about the agreement between me and Yuan Tan. It's just that this matter is confidential, how could Yuan Shang know. Gao Gan deliberately said angrily, "Yuan Shang, you are a bloody spurt, could it be that my uncle has just died, and you want to take away my military power and the state?" ”

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shang admitted it calmly, "Gao Gan is smart for you, I don't care if you collude with Yuan Tan or not, but this merger is in the hands of outsiders, so it makes me uncomfortable." So if you are a smart person, you will obediently cooperate with me and let you be obedient to the old department of the state, then you will not lose your position as a prince in the future, if you don't know each other, it is simple, I will ask someone to send you a ride to accompany your father!

Gao Gan regretted this, he never thought that this Yuan Shang would be so ruthless, if you don't deal with him, you will have to deal with you. But now that people are under the low eaves, how can they not bow their heads, they can only obediently obey.

However, it was said that after Tian Jing and Yuan Shang resigned, they took the customs clearance documents and went back to arrange the withdrawal of troops.

Yuan Tan couldn't hold his breath anymore, hurried over, and asked Tian Jing what he meant. Tian Jing said with a smile: "Isn't this to confuse Yuan Shang, the general rest assured, after I arrived in Shangdang, I will not move, once the war starts, I will send cavalry from Shangdang to Liyang in one day and night, and it will be a surprise army at that time." “

Yuan Tan was relieved at this time, and discussed with Tian Jing the method of communication and communication, and then went back to prepare.

Early in the morning of the second day, Tian Jingshuai's army set off, and when he set off, he found that Gao Gan was not there, so he asked Gao Gan's subordinates at random, and the young general said that General Gao stayed in Yecheng yesterday to visit Mrs. Yuan and discuss family affairs. I think it was late and the city gate was closed, and he never came back.

Tian Jing faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and arranged for the military advisor Hu Cai to let him inquire about the various situations in Yecheng. He led his troops to the direction of Shangdang Huguan.

After Yuan Shang controlled Gao Gan. Discuss with the trial and Feng Ji how to deal with Yuan Tan.

The judge said, "Yuan Tan led 30,000 troops in Liyang, if he fought directly with Yuan Tan, I am afraid that the two sides will be deadlocked, but it will benefit Cao Jun's fisherman." The general might as well drag Yuan Tan, if he doesn't move, you won't move. I don't believe he can hold his breath. At this time, the general can send the general to Qingzhou, and seize the military power of Qingzhou with the general's seal. Yuan Tan left behind to guard Qingzhou was the strategist Xin Ping, who was not good at leading troops. Xin Chen, the younger brother of Xin Ping, lobbied the Jizhou Wang clan before, but he has been secretly detained by me, and it can be used to defraud other cities. By the time Yuan Tan reacted, Qingzhou was already in our hands. When the time comes, his 30,000 men and horses will not be able to make any big waves. ”

After listening to this, Yuan Tan felt that the plan for reviewing the quota was very good. It was arranged to be carried out.

Since Gao Gan entered Yecheng, he has not returned to Liyang. And the soldiers under the senior cadres were also assigned to different places to defend and fight by the generals of the senior cadres.

But Yuan Tan waited for a few days, and Yuan Shang didn't make any moves against him, and it seemed to be calm. After ten days, Yuan Tan only felt that his eyelids were jumping up and down, and he always felt that something was about to happen. At this moment, a soldier came to report that the food was running out.

Yuan Tan wrote a letter and ordered someone to go to Yecheng to ask for food. Who knew that in the evening, the grain transporter came back and told him that Yecheng Taishou said that there was a shortage of food today, and he would come back in a few days.

Yuan Tan suddenly realized that something was wrong; Only then did he order someone to go back to Qingzhou to transfer grain, and at the same time inquire about the situation in Qingzhou. How do you know that this is not only good to hear, but after inquiring, I found that many county towns in Qingzhou have changed defensive officials and soldiers. This Qingzhou borrowed grain and failed, and Yuan Tan knew that his basis in Qingzhou had been mastered by Yuan Shang.

Yuan Tanxin said that now it is a mistake, and he loses all the games. Now that he has to abandon Liyang and rush back to Qingzhou as soon as possible, there may be a chance to do so. Yuan Tan was just about to convene the generals to discuss the matter, but at this time he heard that Yuan Shang's envoy had arrived.

The person who came was none other than Guo Tu among the strategists. Guo Tu saw Yuan Tan and said, "The eldest prince is invited." I have come to deliver a letter from the general, and the general said that he would like to ask for the post of hussar general of the imperial court for the general. I hope that the general can give up Liyang's military power, so that he can keep his wealth for a long time!"

Yuan Tan listened to it and said angrily, "Yuan is still shameless, sneak attack on Qingzhou, but he is still hypocritical. I, Yuan Tan, am the eldest son and the heir of the great general. I swear to die that I will submit to the villain Yuan Tan. ”

Guo Tu saw that Yuan Tan was very excited, so he asked, "Why is the general like this, the so-called stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood." It's better to endure for a while, and there may be a chance to turn over in the future. ”

Yuan Tan said, "It's impossible, I'm just fighting to break the net, but leave this cheap life to Yuan Shang, if I let him descend, it will never be possible." ”

Guo Tu saw that Yuan Tan was resolute, so he said, "The general is calm and don't be dry, I have a plan dedicated to the general, and I can solve today's siege." ”

Yuan Tan didn't know what Guo Tu's idea was, so he didn't speak.

Guo Tu said, "The eldest prince is really not secret, I am resolutely opposed to abolishing the elder and the young." But in Yecheng, I am soft-spoken, and there is no way to influence the situation. It was Guo Tu who came here today at the initiative to ask for it, in order to see the eldest prince. Just now I saw that the eldest prince would rather die than surrender to Yuan Shang, so Guo Tu was willing to use what he had learned to assist the general. ”

Yuan Tan was not a person who believed in people so easily, but now that something happened and there was no better way, he asked Guo Tu what was the best way.

Guo Tu said, "For today's plan, the only way is to descend Cao!" ”

Yuan Tan was furious when he heard this, "Guo Tu, aren't you trapping me in injustice? ”

Guo Tu said, "General, listen to me." Now Qingzhou is controlled by Yuan Shang, and the general has lost his roots. General Gao Gan was placed under house arrest by Yuan Shang, and the general lost foreign aid. Coupled with the alliance of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, the general is the enemy of 30,000 lone troops and the land of Sizhou, and there is really no chance of victory. The general's surrender to Cao was not a real surrender, but only a use of Cao's army to defeat Yuan Shang. At that time, the old department of Yuan Gong and the Tu people in Jizhou will be looking forward to the head of the general. When the time comes, won't it be easy to turn against Cao? ”

Yuan Tan was overjoyed when he heard this, and the two discussed for a while and made a plan.

Guo Tu ordered someone to return to Yuan Shang, saying that Yuan Shang accepted the conditions. In order to ensure his own safety from being harmed, it was decided to temporarily take Guo Tu as a hostage. Three days later, he formally surrendered his military power in Liyang and surrendered to Yuan Shang. But Yuan Shang wanted to personally lead the troops to come, and in front of the soldiers of the three armies and the soldiers of Jizhou, he promised that he would not harm Yuan Tan and ensure his life.

At the same time, Guo Tutou went to the Lejin camp to discuss the surrender of Cao Cao, and joined forces with both sides to attack Yuan Shang in Yecheng.

When Le Jin heard that someone from Jizhou had come to see him, he was taken aback at first. After seeing Guo Tu's detailed inquiry, he knew what happened before and after, and what happened. Le Jinxin said that this is a big gift that fell from the sky. He didn't dare to call the shots, so he ordered someone to report to Xu Cao Cao quickly.

But Le Jin also knew that the soldiers were fast, and if he delayed the time, he was afraid that by the time he arrived, Yuan Tan would have been defeated. So he led the troops to set off overnight and rushed to support Yuan Tan.

After Tian Jing entered the party, he kept delaying the speed of the march, but there was no news of Yuan Tan for more than ten days, and Tian Jing also thought that something had changed. On this day, it was Yuan Tan who sent a letter, asking Tian Jing to return to the army quickly and capture Yecheng. On his side, he already has a certain victory, Tian Jing has no doubt that he has him, and he is about to return to the army.

At this time, Hu Cai hurriedly came from Yecheng. "General, I got the exact information, and the state assassin Shi Gaogan was placed under house arrest by Yuan Shang. The defense of the state has been handed over to the pro-Yuan Shang's men. In addition, I heard that Xin Chen, Yuan Tan's close confidant in Qingzhou, is now also locked up in Jizhou, but I am afraid that Yuan Tan in Qingzhou will not be able to control it. ”

When Tian Jing heard the news, he gasped, "This Yuan Tan is insisting on dragging us into the water to buy time for him to retreat." Come on, summon Mr. Tian Feng and the generals to the Chinese army to discuss matters, and we will take this opportunity to take down Shangdang County completely. ”
