Chapter 218 broke the letter and took revenge on the high-ranking cadres and took Yuan Tan Si of Jizhou to rebel

Yuan Tan, who lost his mother at the age of ten, was reckless by nature, impulsive, martial and aggressive. And Yuan Shang is talented and intelligent, and with his mother by his side to teach, how can Yuan Tan be compared?

Yuan Shang's mother, Liu, was originally the daughter of Liu Yi, the Marquis of Pingyuan. Liu Yi only has this one daughter, although she was born to a concubine, she is also pampered. However, it is precisely because she is a concubine and is connected with Yuan Shao's fate, so she is used to seeing the sadness of her concubine. It is precisely because of this that she devoted all her life's efforts to her youngest son Yuan Shang.

She found that among the two sons she gave birth to, the eldest son Yuan Xi was far inferior to the younger son Yuan Shang. As soon as this son was born, he was strange, his eyes were crystal clear, and his forehead was shining, and he looked like a man of great wealth and wealth.

Therefore, in the education of her two sons, she poured the power into teaching Yuan Shang how to become a superior, and the education of Yuan Xi was how to help her younger brother.

In this way, Yuan Shang grew up in the education of his mother's constant instillation of superior ideas. He is proficient in the use of power, knows how to use interests to buy auxiliary ministers, and knows how to frame the eldest son Yuan Tan.

In contrast, Yuan Tan is more like a fool, who has to bear the black cauldron by being framed! Framed by someone, and there is nothing you can do!

Under the confrontation between the two of them, Yuan Shao's wife Liu was quite angry when she heard that Yuan Tan was attacking with troops, and she actually came to the city accompanied by a maid.

"Xiansi, do you remember being your mother?" Mrs. Liu stared at Yuan Tan and asked. She still thought that Yuan Tan would retire from the army for the sake of her face? Do you think that Yuan Tan will be taken by her female power and give in?!

Seeing Mrs. Liu come out, Yuan Tan gave a salute on the horse and said, "Tan has seen my aunt." Dare to ask my aunt, how did my father die? ”

"Your father was wounded by an arrow, and he is already terminally ill, and it is difficult for a miracle doctor to treat him!" Mrs. Liu said, bowing her head and pretending to wipe her tears.

Yuan Tan sneered and reprimanded angrily: "What a ruthless mother-in-law, my father's arrow wound was treated by a certain divine doctor Hua Tuo, and he wanted to be healed!" If you deceive each other in this way, you must have killed my father in order to seize his power! Today, I, Yuan Tan, will settle the old accounts with your mother and son! ”

Seeing that Mrs. Liu pretended to shirk, he was furious and ordered the soldiers to set up catapults, line up the echelon, and start attacking the city.

Yuan Tan had Liu Bei's help in more than 30 catapults. It is a sharp weapon for attacking the city, throwing boulders more than a hundred zhang away, and once the stones are thrown, they have the power of ten thousand cannons.

After the time of the half-pillar of incense, thirty catapults were in place.

Yuan Tan gave an order, and thirty boulders roared out and smashed straight towards the Xindu City.

Mrs. Liu was sent back to the mansion by Yuan Shang.

The guards left in the city were Zhang Yan and Zhang Tou's brothers.

Suddenly, seeing the boulder attacking, the Zhang brothers were so frightened that they ran away in embarrassment. The soldiers in the city also dropped their weapons and took refuge in bunkers.

Yuan Tan's soldiers had already rushed to the bottom of the city, set up a ladder, and climbed towards the city.

Taking advantage of the boulder attack, the first wave of soldiers had already climbed into the city.

Seeing the soldiers entering the city, Yuan Tan ordered the catapult to stop throwing stones.

A white-knuckle battle began in the city.

Hearing that Yuan Tan's soldiers had climbed the city wall, Yuan Shang was furious and immediately ordered the other city gate defenders to go for reinforcements.

Guo Yuan, who was hiding outside the east gate, discovered the movement of the soldiers in the city and knew that the plan to attack the east gate was about to begin, so he ordered the soldiers to prepare.

Guo Yuan sent someone to pass by the city pretending to be a woodcutter to listen to the movements in the city.

A quarter of an hour had passed, and the spy came back and reported: "General, there are not many soldiers in the city. I vaguely heard that they all went to the south gate for reinforcements! ”

"Good! Get your ropes ready to climb the walls! Guo Yuan commanded.

As soon as they came out of the mountain pass, they came to the outside of the city of Xindu.

The moat at the east gate of Xindu is very clear, and the bottom of the river can be vaguely seen. From above, there are no traps or traps in the river.

On the bank of the moat was a not-so-dense forest, but it became a good place for Guo Yuan and them to hide.

The gates of the city have been firmly closed because of the war, and the drawbridge is hanging high!

A few sparse guards on the city walls wandered back and forth on the sentry posts.

Looking at the guards in the city, Guo Yuan was a little skeptical about the success of his strategy.

The guards are constantly patrolling, and if you don't pay attention, you will find out the whereabouts of your soldiers and horses; Once discovered, it is bound to be wasted, and it is difficult to complete it!

In distress, he kept looking to the northeast away from the battlefield.

Suddenly, he noticed that the city guards mostly patrolled in the southeast direction, and rarely in the northeast corner. This discovery allowed him to confirm the direction of the attack.

He called for a few small, agile soldiers and commanded in a low voice, "Do you see that northeast direction?" Go around behind that tree and dive across the river. Then go around and think about lowering the drawbridge and opening the city gates! ”

"Understood!" One of the soldiers was commanded.

The captain left the group with a few soldiers and headed northeast.

A few people were like apes, interspersed in the woods, and a few turned around and disappeared.

Half an hour later, they managed to appear under the walls of the eastern part of the city.

Seeing that they were safe and sound, Guo Yuan breathed a deep sigh of relief.

But the next scene once again raised his heart to his throat.

I saw several soldiers holding daggers in both hands, and they actually climbed up the city wall, sticking to the city wall like a gecko, and slowly climbed up towards the city.

More than 3,000 people stared at each other with apprehensive eyes.

It seems that worry is unnecessary!

A few people climbed to the top, but they barely showed their heads. The leader of the army seems to have put his ear to the city wall, what are you listening to?!

After listening for a moment, he suddenly exerted his strength, and flew up to the city like an eagle.

The guards patrolling the castle never imagined that someone would fly up to the castle like a bird, and in their stunned surprise, they were cut in two by their opponents.

A few guards next to him came to their senses and shouted and screamed to kill here.

And a few more people flew up from below......

In this way, they took the east gate, lowered the drawbridge, opened the city gate and let Guo Yuan in.

As soon as Guo Yuan entered the city, he ordered his soldiers to set fire to the streets to create momentum.

"What? The east gate was breached, and the enemy entered the city? Yuan Shang was shocked when he heard this.

The judge hurriedly offered a plan: "Quickly send Su You to lead troops and horses to resist!" ”

"Tell Su You quickly!" Yuan Shang commanded.

After a short time, Su You sent someone back to report: "Lord, the soldiers and horses in the city are all fighting with the eldest prince in the south of the city, and the high-ranking soldiers and horses in the direction of the plain have entered the territory of Xindu, and the soldiers and horses of the eldest prince are rounded, and the two armies are anxious together, and the outcome is unpredictable!" Now General Su has led his troops and horses to block the enemy troops entering the city, but the enemy's offensive is too fierce, and it may be difficult to hold the city! ”

Hearing the news, Yuan Shang suddenly slumped in his chair.

The trial never thought that there would be such a result, and hurriedly persuaded Yuan Shang and said: "Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood!" Quickly escort the family to the second son! ”

Yuan Shangqing had a sword in his hand, and said to the judge: "There is Teacher Lao in the family!" I'm going to fight with Yuan Tan for a while! ”

I had never seen Yuan Shang so irrational, so the judge quickly grabbed him and reprimanded fiercely: "You are the master of the three armies, how can you easily go into battle and kill the enemy?!" Now that the situation is not in my favor, how can I fight to the death? As the saying goes: Those who know the times are handsome. As the most outstanding son of Yuan Benchu, you inherited the great cause of Yuan Valve, how could you be so reckless! ”

As the saying goes, a word wakes up the person in the dream.

After being reprimanded by the judge, Yuan Shang came to his senses a little, and ordered someone to quickly clean up and let the judge escort the family members away.

Not long after the family left, Meng Dai, Su You, Zhang Yan and others each led their headquarters to retreat.

"Lord, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, and the south gate has been lost!" Zhang Yan said dejectedly.

Su You said: "It was the high-ranking cadre general Guo Yuan who attacked the east gate, and they set fire to many houses along the street, burning a lot of houses, and the people were in chaos!" ”

Meng Dai hurriedly said, "Withdraw!" Lord, the east gate and the south gate have been lost, and I am afraid it will be too late if I don't leave! ”

"Withdraw!" In desperation, Yuan Shang had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Yuan Tan and Gao Gan waved their troops into the city and approached the county guard.

When I entered the house, I saw a mess, and the building was already empty.

Yuan Tan sighed and said to Gao Gan: "It's really ...... that their brothers actually plundered this."

"It's really hateful, a certain hatred that I thought I could kill my wife was escaped by them!" Gao Gan looked at the empty mansion and said angrily.

"Yuancai, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years! It is hatred that will be rewarded sooner or later. Besides, the day of our revenge is not far off? Yuan Tan said comfortingly, and suddenly saw that the fire in the east was getting bigger and bigger.

He asked, "Which attacked from the east gate?" ”

Gao Ganyan said: "Brother General Guo Yuan! ”

"Quickly inform Guo Yuan that the enemy army has retreated, and quickly organize personnel to put out the fire! The letter is already ours, and it must not be broken! Yuan Tan hurriedly said.

Gao Gan hurriedly ordered Zhao to go and inform Guo Yuan.

seized Xindu, Yuan Tan formally took Jizhou and became the new lord of Jizhou.

Because of Yuan Shang's defeat and the withdrawal of high-ranking cadres, Bao Xin led troops back to Yuan Shang, so that the guards in the plain city were still weak.

Yuan Tan accepted Xin Ping's plan and sent generals Ji Ling, Zang Hong, Chen Huan, Zhu Han, Jiang Yan, Guan Tong, Xue Hong and others to capture Pingyuan, Nanpi, Juye, Zhao, Changshan, Boling, Bohai and other places overnight.

As a result, Yuan Tan sits on half of the cities in Jizhou, and his self-confidence has doubled and his ambitions have swelled.

He sent the general Zhou Xin to Qinghe County to replace his teacher Guo Tu to write to the capital.

Seeing Guo Tu, he asked, "Teacher, now Jizhou is back in the hands of the students." How can students restore my father's former glory? ”

This is the rhythm of betraying Liu Bei.

This is also the rhythm that Guo Tu wants! Because he found that there were two sages gathered on Liu Bei's side, not to mention the two sages, and the two dragons and phoenixes were hidden out of the mountain, Guo Tu thought that there would be no place for himself on Liu Bei's side. (Which of the two sages is Wind and Dust?) Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, Chen Gong, Chen Gongtai! The name coffee gave them. Because Xu Shu once lived in the world and mixed the rivers and lakes, it can be described as the word wind and dust; And Chen Gong abandoned his official position for Cao Cao, even more so than the children of the rivers and lakes, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is dusty! ）

Therefore, on the one hand, Guo Tu wanted to be attached to Liu Bei and make Yuan Tan strong; On the other hand, he thought that Yuan Tan would one day be able to regain Yuan Shao's hegemony, and he would also be prosperous for a while.

However, it seems to be a bit rushed at this point.

Guo Tu shook his head and said, "Brother Ru is still here, how can he let you?" The general of the chariot cavalry is also eyeing behind, how can he easily lose his trust in others? The time is not right, you must not be in a hurry?! Now you and the Yuancai brothers join forces, if they can defeat Xianyi and Xianfu, it's okay! If not, it is the best policy for you to ask the general of the chariot to recuperate the soldiers and horses as soon as possible! ”

Yuan Tan looked at the teacher, a little unwilling in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not unreasonable, so he said: "The teacher is right!" Just follow the teacher's words! ”
