Chapter 348: The Law of Breaking the Roots

The news of Yuan Xu's death in Puyang reached Qingzhou, and Yuan Tan returned immediately.

Unable to make it to the funeral, Yuan Tan came to Yuan Xu's grave.

A huge tombstone stands in front of a high dirt slope.

The back of the tombstone is engraved with Yuan Xu's life, and the front is engraved with several neat lines of small seal characters.

Standing in front of Yuan Xu's grave, Yuan Tan was full of sadness.

"Xianxin, the eldest brother is back!" Before the words came out, the tiger's eyes were already full of tears.

The lonely tomb certainly won't give him a response.

Slowly closing his eyes, two lines of tears hung on Yuan Tan's cheeks.

Silent, Yuan Tan didn't know what to say again.

There are eight brothers in the Yuan family, and the only one who is kind to him is Yuan Xu.

The other concubines were either close to Yuan Shang or stayed away from him.

Since Yuan Xu defeated Zhang Yan and Yuan Tan returned to Yecheng, the other concubines have been a little more respectful to this eldest brother, and they will not deliberately avoid him when they see him from afar.

It's all thanks to Yuan Xu!

Yuan Xu is gone, everything is different!

Wiping away the tears, Yuan Tan said: "Fifth brother, you are gone, you have no attachment, you leave calmly, you can know that the eldest brother misses you......"

"Eldest son!" Accompanying Yuan Tan here, Guo Tu was also full of sadness, and stepped forward and said: "Yuan Gong convened everyone to discuss the strategy of sending troops, don't go too late." ”

Yuan Tan nodded.

Yecheng Yuan family.

Inside the Council Chamber.

organized a funeral for Yuan Xu, Yuan Shao was full of anger, and said to everyone: "I hate Cao Cao for killing a certain beloved son, and the Yuan family in Hebei is not with him!" ”

"Yuan Gong!" Feng Ji got up and said: "The eldest prince brought back 10,000 soldiers and horses from Qingzhou, Yuan Gong recruited 60,000 people, and Hebei has a total of 70,000 troops. Cao Cao only had 50,000 elite soldiers. The first battle of Puyang suffered huge losses, but there were only 40,000 soldiers left to fight. Yuan Gong went south. Just take it step by step and you will be able to break it! ”

If it weren't for Yuan Xu's death in Puyang, Feng Ji instigated Yuan Shao to send troops. Perhaps someone will stand up against it.

Losing his beloved son, Yuan Shao was in a rage, and even if the Hebei staff had other ideas, they would never dare to mention it at this time.

What's more, Yuan Xu's staff, who are kind to him, even hope that Yuan Jun will go out to avenge their close son!

Looking around at everyone, Yuan Shao asked, "Who is willing to be a pioneer!" ”

Without asking for dissenting opinions, I opened my mouth to ask who was the pioneer. Yuan Shao was telling everyone that it was really inappropriate to put forward other opinions at this time.

Yuan Tan stepped out of the ranks, clenched his fists and said, "The child is willing to be a pioneer!" ”

"Father!" Yuan Xi followed: "The child and Xianfu led the army to help, but failed to save Xianxin from breaking through, and it is still difficult to think about it." I beg the father to allow the child to be a pioneer! ”

"My father knows your heart!" Looking at Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao said: "The position of a pioneer is to open roads and build bridges in the mountains, and the two of you are bent on breaking the Cao army, but it is easy to be greedy for merit." ”

"Who else. Willing to be a pioneer? Yuan Shao asked.

One of the generals stepped out of the ranks and said, "The last general is willing to be the vanguard." ”

This man was tall and strong, and when he stood in the hall, the staff and generals on both sides were half a cut shorter than him.

He's no one else. It was Gao Lan who had rushed to Qingzhou with Yuan Xu.

Zhang He was defeated and captured by Yuan's army.

Han Meng has not been seen since Guandu.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou also died on the battlefield, and the four court pillars in Hebei. Now there is only one person left!

Gao Ran is willing to be a pioneer, but Yuan Shao is unwilling. Hurriedly said: "General Gao is willing to be a pioneer, and he is an excellent candidate." The general leads 5,000 soldiers to march on the sun! ”

"No!" Gao Ran was ordered to retreat.

Yuan Shao said: "The rest of the people will lead the army with a certain person. Go south to crusade against the Cao thief! ”

Clenched his fists, the muscles on Yuan Shao's face were twitching!

Everyone shouted in unison.

At the end of the court meeting, Gao Guandian Qi 5,000 soldiers went south.

Yuan Shao led the crowd a few days later.

Tens of thousands of Yuan troops approached Pingqiu, intending to cross the Yellow River from Pingqiu to capture Chenliu, and then capture Xuchang!

Yuan's army set out on an expedition, and the news soon spread to Xudu.

Xu Du Cao House.

Cao Cao sat in the council chamber with the others.

"Yuan Shao gathered 70,000 troops to go south, and there were still more soldiers and horses than us." Cao Cao said: "The princes think that what should be done to break Yuan Shao. ”

"Cao Gong!" Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "Yuan Shao's elite soldiers were all destroyed in Guandu, although 70,000 soldiers and horses were recruited, but most of them were civil husbands and recruits, and their combat power was not as good as the Yellow Turban back then, so why be afraid?" ”

"The meaning of filial piety coincides with a certain one." Cao Cao said: "It's just that there are many enemy troops, and there must be a strategy to break the enemy!" ”

Yuan Tan went to Yecheng, and Cheng Yu was also transferred back to Xudu by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao asked about the strategy of breaking the enemy, Cheng Yu got up and said: "Cao Gong, although there are many enemy troops, as Feng Xiao said, they are a group of rabble. Our army goes to meet the attack, can ambush the ten soldiers and horses, the Chinese army fights against the water, and the soldiers have no way to retreat and will die. When the enemy army has the appearance of rout, the ten soldiers and horses will be killed together, and the enemy can be broken in one battle! ”

There were not many soldiers and horses, but they had to allocate ten routes to meet the enemy.

Cao Cao hesitated.

"Cheng Gong's plan is precisely the way to break the roots." Guo Jia said: "In this battle, Yuan Shao intends to be in Xudu, and if there is an official crossing, he will be cautious in his use of troops. Our army allocates troops and horses, and the number is far inferior to them, so that Yuan Shao can be lured to wave his troops for a decisive battle. As long as Cao Gong leads the army to the enemy, when the ten roads are ambushed, they will be able to break it in one fell swoop! ”

Guo Jia seconded the proposal, Cao Cao did not hesitate any longer, and instructed everyone: "The princes listen to the order, ambush the soldiers in ten ways to make a detour to Cangting, and lead a certain army to a decisive battle with Yuan Shao!" ”

And all the people got up and answered in unison.

The Yuan and Cao families went to war again.

On Penglai Island, Yuan Xu was still in a semi-coma.

He came to his senses from time to time, but he couldn't say a word and fell asleep.

The affairs on the island are still in charge of Zhen Mi.

Tian Feng and Frustration gave Penglai, and Zhen Mi had a little more help.

Yuan Xu was lying in the room, Zhen Mi was sitting beside him, and Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were sitting a little farther away.

"It's been many days since Childe returned to Penglai, and I haven't woken up yet, and I always feel uneasy." Zhen Mi said: "Tian Gong, Fu Gong, I don't know if you can know a good doctor? ”

"The good doctors in the world are none other than Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing." Tian Feng said: "One of these two is in Xudu, and the other is in Nanyang. The road is long and delayed. ”

"But Childe ......," Zhen Mi looked at Yuan Xu worriedly.

"Childe Ji is a natural appearance, and he should be safe." Frustrated, he said: "Madame can ask for a good doctor in Qingzhou, and what we have to do is to seize Hebei for the sake of the son after he wakes up." ”

Yuan Xu was still in a semi-coma, but he mentioned that he wanted to seize Hebei.

Zhen Mi didn't say anything.

Her mind is not in Hebei, only on Yuan Xu.

If Yuan Xu has three long and two short, not to mention Hebei, the whole world is in her hands, what is the use of her as a woman?

"Father! Don't send troops......" Yuan Xu, who was in a coma, muttered again.

Glancing at each other, Tian Feng and Fu Zhi sighed softly.

The defeat of Puyang was at the hands of the Yuan family, and Yuan Xu was still thinking about reminding Yuan Shao not to send troops in a coma. (To be continued.) )
