Luan Yi's simple tent contrasts sharply with Yuan Shao's luxury. But you must know that Luan Yi is recognized as the richest man in the Han Dynasty today.

People are so rich, but life is so simple, why? For he was giving a great deal of money to the poor people every day, and to the valiant soldiers; And Yuan Shao lived in a palatial tent, but he didn't pay the soldiers for half a year.

In the final analysis, Yuan Shao loves vanity, Luan Yixi is pragmatic; Yuan Shao is high, Luan Yi is kind to others; Yuan Shao listened to the good words, and Luan Yi asked shamelessly as a doctor; Yuan Shao is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, and Luan Yi is not suspicious of employing people; Yuan Shao is indecisive, Luan Yi is resourceful......

Because of this, Yuan Shao's cronies and villains led to the rebellion of the people, from the generals to the soldiers. And Luan Yineng is full of people with lofty ideals, all of them are united, from the small guards to the big Lu Zhi.

Zhang He knew from this point that the battlefield war was actually doomed to the final outcome from the beginning, and Yuan Shao's defeat was just a matter of time!

Yuan Shao didn't know that the rebel general Zhang He had set such a bad evaluation for himself in his heart. At this time, he was running for his life in the direction of Yecheng in fear, and whenever he heard a little wind and grass on the road, he thought it was an ambush planted by Luan Yi in advance, which frightened his muscles tight, and his stomach cramped and wanted to vomit.

He breathed a sigh of relief after sending out a scout to make sure that he had not encountered an ambush. But when you go to the next forest, valley or river valley, your heart will tremble for a while. I sent a detective horse to check again, and the answer I got was that everything was safe.

finally arrived at Yecheng, and saw that the city gate was full of people standing to welcome his return, beating gongs and drums. In the past, when he returned triumphantly, his advisers and the squires of the city had celebrated him in this way, and now that he had returned from defeat, the people were still beating gongs and drums, and he suddenly felt that these people were satirizing him.

His self-esteem was seriously injured, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he snorted coldly and went directly into the city without paying attention to anyone.

On the way into the city, I happened to pass by an elegantly decorated teahouse, and the shopkeeper of the teahouse specially invited a storyteller to tell the story in order to enrich the revenue. Today is talking about the world-famous "Divine General vs. Flying General", that is, the section where Luan Yi vs. Lu Bu was warned. At the end of the book, Lu Bu was exhausted, Luan Yi followed the chasing part, and the storyteller was excited for a while, and his voice involuntarily raised three points, "Stay, the dog thief is gone." God will Luan Yi here, accept his life! ”

At this time, Yuan Shao happened to lead the troops to pass by, fleeing all the way to his heart, and the tendon in his heart had been tense, plus he had always been afraid of Luan Yi for many years, and now when he heard this, he was frightened, "Not good!" Luan Ziqi chased after him. His head was immediately stunned, a sharp cramp pain came from his chest, and his stomach churned, and finally he couldn't hold "wow" and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell off the horse. So far, I was bedridden, and it didn't take long for me to die.

Poor Yuan Shao's generation of heroes was scared to death by the name of Luan Yi in the mouth of the storyteller.

What's even more tragic is that after Yuan Shao's death, the first thing his wife Liu did was not to bury her husband in a thick burial, but to have Yuan Shao's eight favorite concubines hanged to death together. And before the killing was over, she also shaved the hair of the concubines and disfigured them. In this way, after the concubines died, they could no longer seduce Yuan Shao when they went to another world.

It stands to reason that after dealing with these things, the Liu family wanted to arrange Yuan Shao's burial. However, at this time, Liu's parent, Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang, jumped out and told her that there was still important things to do.

The so-called "important matter" naturally refers to the "establishment of an heir".

Yuan Shao had three sons, the eldest son Yuan Tan, the second son Yuan Xi, and the third son Yuan Shang. As early as four years ago, that is, in the second year of the Shengyuan, Yuan Shen's side had already launched an open and secret battle around the matter of establishing an heir.

According to the tradition of "establishing a successor to be a long-term rather than a virtuous", Yuan Tan is the eldest son and should be a well-deserved successor. But how could it be that Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi's biological mother died four years ago, and Yuan Shang's mother, who was only eight years old, was raised as a wife and was quite loved by Yuan Shao, plus Yuan Tan was ugly, Yuan Shangzi was handsome and looked very much like Yuan Shao when he was a child. Therefore, Yuan Shao prefers Yuan Shang relatively and intends to put the burden of the future in the hands of his handsome third son.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu advised Yuan Shao for this reason, warning him that subverting tradition may lead to painful consequences. Yuan Shao just didn't listen, and insisted on establishing Yuan Shang as his heir.

Moreover, it is just a matter of appointing Yuan Shang as the heir, it stands to reason that Yuan Tan's power should be appropriately weakened at this time, so as to pave the way for Yuan Shang to govern in the future. But Yuan Shao was biased, and he did not pursue the strategy of "one son and one nephew" guarding the border on his behalf. At the same time as appointing Gao Gan as the assassin of Youzhou, he handed over the power of Youzhou's soldiers and horses to Yuan Tan and named him the assassin of Youzhou.

Therefore, when the judge moved out of Yuan Shao's will and set up Yuan Shang as his heir, Yuan Tan naturally did not want to be instructed by his younger brother Yuan Shang, who was only twelve years old, and happened to learn that Luan Yi would withdraw the army to Henan to support Shouchun to meet Sun Ce, Yuan Tan raised the anti-flag without saying a word. The two brothers were in trouble.

It's just that he didn't know that the reason why Luan Yi withdrew his troops was not to support Guan Gong, who was stationed in Shouchun, but after learning the news of Yuan Shao's death, he followed Xun Yu's plan and left a relaxed environment for Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang brothers to kill each other.

Sure enough, as Xun Yu expected, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shangzhen followed in the footsteps of their cousins Yuan Yao, Yuan Hui, the sons of Yuan Shu. Yuan Tan is based on Youzhou, and has the support of Tian Feng and a group of old ministers under his account; Yuan Shang is based on Jizhou, with Uchida Feng, Feng Ji, and trial matching, and two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

After the spring ploughing, the two sides went back and forth, and the battle did not stop.

……

It is said that when Luan Yi was still confronting Yuan Shao in Guandu, Yuan Shao sent his henchman and fellow Luan Yi's good brother Xi Zhicai to go south to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Ce to unite with Yuan Shao and besiege Luan Yi together in a north-south attack.

Sun Ce is worried that Luan Yi's momentum is getting bigger and bigger, and it will be difficult to compete with it in the future. Now that he learned that Yuan Shao was willing to unite with him, the two hit it off, and immediately mobilized 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, personally hung the commander seal, and brought Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals Chen Bingjiang on the bank of the river, and Xiaoyaojin, which was not far from Shouchun in Yuzhou, and was ready to wave his army to the Northern Expedition at any time.

At the same time, knowing that Sun Ce was about to attack, Guan Yu and the military advisor Jia Xu wanted to block it south of the river, but there were only 20,000 horses in the headquarters, plus 7,000 people supported by Tai Shici later, and 10,000 recruits later, there were only 37,000 people in total, and it was impossible to protect the long river shoreline. The focus of the defense can only be on the important town of Xiaoyaojin, which is not far from Shouchun.

Therefore, Sun Ce crossed the Yangtze River with little hindrance, and an army of 50,000 troops set up camp ten miles away from Xiaoyaojin.

In the early morning of the next day, the army drove to the gate of the Xiaoyaojin Church, shouting and scolding.

Hearing the filthy insults of the Jiangdong Army outside the village, although Guan Yu's face was not sad or angry, those who were familiar with him could see through his slightly open eyes that he was already angry at this time, and he was eager to raise his knife and go out of battle.

Jia Xu is the best at observing words and feelings, and quickly captured what Guan Yu was thinking. Of course, he couldn't let Guan Gong, who was the commander of the First Army and the Assassin of Yizhou, personally go into battle, so he said: "General, the enemy army is very arrogant, why don't you send a general out to rub their sharpness." ”

Guan Gong's eyes lit up, and he shook his head, "The day before yesterday, the sect leader sent a letter from himself, ordering me to stick to it and not use swords. Wait for the battle in Hebei to settle down, and then make plans. This is a military order, and I am not to disobey it. ”

"Huh!" Jia Xu waved his hand, "The so-called generals are not subject to military orders abroad." The sect leader is far away in Guandu, and he doesn't know the situation here. At present, although Sun Ce is menacing, he is reluctant to attack the village after arriving in Xiaoyaojin, why is this? ”

"Why?"

"Because their hearts are weak. They are watching the battle situation on the Guandu side, and once Yuan Shao has the upper hand, they will storm our army's Dazhai; If the sect leader wins many battles, they will not hesitate to retreat to Jiangnan. So much for. But because they don't have the confidence to win, they besiege but don't attack. The menacing appearance they put on now is just a façade, and if we take this opportunity to outdo them for a while, and let them know that Xiaoyaojin is not so easy to take, their faith will surely be shaken. Maybe they will choose to return to Jiangnan immediately. This is the principle of replacing defense with offense. ”

"Offense instead of defense? It makes sense. Guan Gong stroked his beard a few times, and his angry eyes narrowed back again, "Who is willing to go out to kill the enemy?" ”

"The last will go!" Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, and Xiahoudun were listed at the same time.

Seeing that his subordinates are full of talents, Guan Gong's heart is a little wider, with so many wise men and warriors to help, why worry about not being able to keep Shouchun.

He first moved his gaze to Xiahoudun, he had the worst martial arts among the three, and he was afraid of danger when he went out into battle.

Look at Zhang Liao again...... With Zhang Liao's bravery, it stands to reason that this matter belongs to him. However, if he wins this time, it will definitely be the first achievement, and everyone knows that he Guan Yu and Zhang Liao are the best, and sending Zhang Liao to fight is easy to leave people with the impression of cronyism and mentioning brothers to take credit. Nor is it suitable.

In this way, "Taishi Ziyi listened to the order." Choose you to lead 5,000 troops out of the city and fight. ”

"The last general obeys!"

In a few days, 5,000 well-equipped and imposing church guards formed a military formation under the wall, led by Tai Shici.

Tai Shi Ci stood in front of the battle and immediately raised his gun, and shouted loudly: "Donglai Tai Shi Ci is here, Sun Ce Xiao'er has not come to die?" ”

At this time, Tai Shici was already famous, and he thought that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he talked about more than 100 people breaking through the encirclement of more than 100,000 Yellow Turban thieves and entering the Changshe to report to Huangfu Song.

Therefore, seeing that Guan Yu sent him, Sun Ce didn't dare to ignore it, and snatched his spear from his own soldiers and went into battle in person.

"My lord!" Zhou Yu hurriedly stopped him, "The lord is the commander of the first army, and he can't easily go into battle to fight." It's the same with sending other generals to fetch Taishi Ziyi's head. ”

Sun Ce thought about it, and he was right! Hasn't Luan Ziqi been fighting for many years, so according to Zhou Yu's words, "Chen Wu, you go to meet that guy." ”
