The above book mentions that Yuan Shao died of illness, and with the help of Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Wen Chou and others, he supported the emperor's eldest son Yuan Tan to ascend the throne. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this way, Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi and third son Yuan Shang could no longer suppress the disappointment in their hearts, and for the first time, they united together and gathered in Yuan Shang's mansion to discuss countermeasures.

Although Yuan Shang is the youngest of Yuan Shao's three sons, he is Yuan Shao's favorite one. When Yuan Shao was dying, he wanted to give up the throne to Yuan Shang. was hindered by Cao Cao and changed the emperor's order without permission.

And Yuan Xi has always been the object of use between a brother and a brother, but Yuan Xi is smarter than the two and sees farther. Since Cao Cao led his troops to Shun, he discovered Cao Cao's strangeness. It's just that his important teacher Guo Tu has nothing to do but be suspicious and framed, where is he willing to give up the gift that Cao Cao sent to him? Therefore, he had to watch Cao Cao and others continue to infiltrate their own power until his father died and his eldest brother ascended the throne and became emperor......

This time, the third brother invited himself over, and Yuan Xi decided to replace the eldest brother's throne with the third brother, and then drove Cao Cao, Lü Bu and other forces out of the Qi State.

Unfortunately, he lacks ability and lacks sufficient help.

And Yuan Shang and others are blindly planning for their own interests. Yuan Shang thought that he was very smart, and summoned his second brother Yuan Xi and his teacher Feng Ji, and prepared to use the troops under his command to launch a mutiny. But with such a big move as launching a mutiny, according to Yuan Shang's restless personality and Guo Tu's unwise self-confidence, how could no one know?

There were already spies lurking in Yuan Shang's mansion who reported the news to the judge. The judge was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly came to see Yuan Tan, saying that he raised troops to besiege Yuan Shang's mansion and capture Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, as well as Feng Ji and Guo Tu.

Yuan Tan was originally the kind of person who was eager for quick success, and immediately sent people to the hussar general Lu Bu, the former general Ju Yi, the left general Yan Liang, the right general Wen Chou, and the later general Xiahou Dun, and wanted to raise 100,000 Praetorian Guards to arrest Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and others.

When the herald summoned Xiahoudun, he was informed by Prime Minister Cao Cao. Cao Cao went to the palace to see Yuan Tan.

As soon as he entered the palace, Cao Cao said: "Your Majesty, those who are kings need to comfort the hearts of those who are in the lower position!" How can you use swords and soldiers in vain to kill your own brother? ”

"Huh?! According to what Qing said, is it impossible for me to give way to them? Yuan Tan saw Cao Cao coming to advise, and he was very displeased.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood the old minister! Your Majesty has no conclusive evidence this time, so he raised his troops and marched, and he will definitely lose his trust in the world! Therefore, the old minister came to advise. Cao Cao knew that Yuan Tan was good and inward-looking, and he didn't take Yuan Tan's dislike to heart.

"I have received the letter, how can it not be considered evidence? Could it be that Cao Aiqing has a way to obtain evidence? Yuan Tan saw Cao Cao's appearance of an old god and asked.

"Since the second and third sons have conspired to kill Your Majesty. Why doesn't Your Majesty give them a chance? Cao Cao guided Yuan Tan and said.

"Opportunity?" Yuan Tan asked rhetorically.

"Not bad! Opportunity! Cao Cao nodded and said, "Now that it is winter, the first snow has just fallen in the north mountain of Xindu, and there are naturally many hares and roe deer. Your Majesty may send an order to send the two sons to hunt together. If the two intend to rebel, they will definitely take this opportunity to make trouble! His Majesty also took this opportunity to get rid of the two! ”

"Since this is the case, I will leave it to Aiqing to arrange! Tomorrow, I invite the two royal brothers to hunt in Beishan! Yuan Tan sent the Yellow Gate down to deliver the decree, and then summoned the hussar general Lu Bu, the former general Ju Yi, the left general Yan Liang, the right general Wen Chou, the later general Xiahou Dun, the general Gao Gan of the expedition, the general of the expedition to the west, the general Xiahou Yuan, the general of the expedition to the south, the general Cao Hong, the general of the expedition to the north, the imperial historian Xun Yu, the Guangluqing Cheng Yu, the Taifu trial and others to discuss the hunting matter.

After a while, everyone rushed to the palace and saw Prime Minister Cao Cao accompanying the Son of Heaven.

After everyone paid their respects, Yuan Tan asked Cao Cao to inform everyone about the hunt.

Cao Cao said: "You have ascended the throne with a certain Majesty, and now someone wants to seize the throne of Your Majesty, why do you wait? ”

"You are willing to defend the throne for Your Majesty!" Everyone said in unison.

Cao Cao said: "I am calling everyone today, I want to get rid of this person. A certain asked the Son of Heaven to hunt with the two sons tomorrow, and the rebel will definitely appear at that time. Therefore, please come, dare to ask which general is willing to follow His Majesty's side and protect His Majesty's safety? ”

All the generals stepped forward to ask for orders.

Cao Cao said: "General Lu, General Ju, you and other five tiger generals are not allowed to be by Your Majesty's side. With the martial arts of you and the other five, how dare the rebels cause trouble? Tomorrow, Taifu and General Zhengdong will protect His Majesty from hunting. The hussar general commanded the 50,000 forbidden army Chen Bing to stand by in front of the mountain; The former general commanded the 50,000 Imperial Forest Army, and Chen Bingshan took care of the aftermath; General Zuo led 10,000 forbidden troops into the north tonight, lying in wait among the snow and grass; The right general, the rear general and the other three generals heard the sound of artillery on the mountain, and hurried to the mansions of the second son, the third prince, Guo Tu, and Feng Ji to capture the old and young in the mansion, and they were not allowed to let go of a single person! ”

The generals took the orders and left.

Emperor Yuan Tan of the Northern Qi Dynasty wrote two letters and sent them to the two brothers' mansions at the Yellow Gate.

In Yuan Shang's mansion, Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, Guo Tu, and Feng Ji sat together, and the four pairs of eyes looked at the two letters in a daze.

Guo Tuyan said: "Yuan Tan has always been at odds with the two of you, why did he suddenly order hunting? Could it be that we have sensed our intentions and must we strike first? ”

"With Yuan Tan and the temperament of the judge, if he had learned of our intentions, wouldn't he have sent troops to besiege the mansion to arrest us earlier, and would it take so much trouble to make it?" Feng Ji said coldly.

Although the two are now on the same front, the problem of bickering has not changed.

Guo Tu was about to fight back, and a person walked in from outside the door and laughed: "Why do the two teachers keep fighting with each other?" Why not take advantage of this opportunity? ”

Yuan Xi looked up and saw that it was Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, and hurriedly asked, "Zixiu, how did you get here?" ”

"Naturally, I'm here for the two sons!" Cao Ang came to Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang with a smile.

Yuan Shang knew that Cao Cao's son had always been very close to his second brother, and seeing him always defending Yuan Xi seemed to be sincere, but he didn't know if his heart was the same as it appeared. He stared cautiously at Cao Ang's face, trying to see something in his expression. Unfortunately, Cao Ang's performance doomed him to disappointment.

Yuan Xi asked with great trust: "Why did Zi Xiu say this?" ”

"The Son of Heaven hunted in the North Mountain, and he will definitely lead the army to protect it. And how will the army go up the mountain? Naturally, no, we can only treat each other at the bottom of the mountain. The two sons followed with someone who was good at killing, and killed the Son of Heaven nearby, wouldn't it be instantaneous? The eldest husband was born in the world, and he should work hard for it! If there are such gains and losses, how can it be done? Cao Ang said.

"There must be a general by the side of the Son of Heaven to protect him, how can we get close to him?" Yuan Shang asked. Looking at Cao Ang's angry face, he didn't know whether to believe it or not.

"The Son of Heaven must have sent the hussar general Lu Bu to accompany him. However, Lu Bu's martial arts are extraordinary, but he is a wolf with ambitions, and he is not a person that His Majesty can control. Therefore, His Majesty will definitely make him wait at the foot of the mountain, and he can only take it with him, General Gao Gan and Taifu of Zhengdong! Cao Ang said.

"What Zixiu said is extremely true. I can make my 8,000 halberds rush north to the east overnight, and when the time comes, I will rush out to help us capture the Son of Heaven with the sound of arrows. This must be foolproof! Yuan Xi completely agreed with Cao Ang's words.

Yuan Shang saw Yuan Xi say this, and he couldn't see Cao Ang's flaws, so he agreed to this plan. And when Cao Ang wanted to leave, he was left behind by Yuan Shang's words.

Cao Ang knew in his heart that Yuan Shang was afraid that he would go out and sell them, so he pretended not to know and talked with them until he was drunk.

The next day, Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, Guo Tu, and Feng Ji each took 100 guards and came to the north to wait for the emperor to drive.

Not long after, the honor guard of the Son of Heaven came mightily towards the North Mountain under the escort of the forbidden army. It seems that the forbidden army dispatched about fifty or sixty thousand people, and the general at the head was either someone else or the hussar general Lu Bu. Walking with Lu Bu was an old man dressed in literary clothes similar to Lu Bu, wearing a crown of eight treasures and a flat crown, wearing a purple python brocade robe, and a sword hanging from his waist with three feet and three pearls. Who is this person? It was Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Cao Mengde.

In the middle of a red-haired horse, immediately sat a person wearing a golden jade dragon helmet, wearing a golden nine dragon armor, carrying a golden mountain splitting machete in his hand, and a carved gold treasure bow hanging on the saddle bridge, it was Yuan Tan, the son of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

To the left of the Son of Heaven are the conscription generals Gao Gan and Taifu interrogating.

Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi and others stepped forward to meet the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven said: "The two imperial brothers, who have been busy with court affairs for a while, have snubbed the two of you. Therefore, please hunt with a certain one, and you and my brother are also close and close. ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

"And so began the hunt. Each of us has a hundred followers, limited to sunset, and the one who hunts more wins. We reward the victor with a thousand fiefs. Yuan Tan then released the bet.

"But it's up to Your Majesty to decide!" When the two heard this, they were overjoyed, and they looked down at each other, and the joy in their eyes betrayed their master.

Gao Gan and the two of them ordered 100 elite soldiers and followed closely behind the Son of Heaven. Yuan Xi and Feng Ji advanced from the left with 100 people, and Yuan Shang and Guo Tu advanced from the right with 100 people.

Yuan Tan looked at Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang vaguely attacking him, and looked at Gao Gan uneasily. In the end, who wins or dies in this battle between the two is in mutual consideration.

At this time, on the banks of the Yangtze River, the Zhangjaw camp ushered in several broken people.

Zhang Jaw got up in the morning, just had dinner, sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, and discussed with Jia Xu the plan to break the city. Suddenly, soldiers outside the camp came to report, and someone outside the village asked to see them.

He asked for the reason, and then he brought someone in.

I saw five people coming, all ragged and swaying. The leader, with a yellowish complexion and chapped lips, was tall and mighty, but his eyes revealed that his energy was almost exhausted.

Zhang Jaw hurriedly invited a few people to sit down and asked, "Dare to ask a few strong men, who is the surname?" What is the important matter of seeing this king? ”

The five of them knelt down with a "poof", and the leader said: "Little Wen Qin has seen King Jing Chitose!"

"What? Thou art Bunchin! Zhang Jaw was shocked when he heard this. Hurriedly stepped forward to hug each other.

Jia Xu saw that several people were hungry and thirsty, and whispered to people to go down and get food.

Zhang Jaw first made the five people eat. After that, Wen Qinfang lost Lingling, and escaped with a few personal soldiers, and told the situation of fleeing here in detail along the way......
