Anyang City was broken, Xiahou moved back more than 1.2 million stones, grain and grass, Cao Ying was happy, there was no suspense in the war at this time, Yuan Shao had lost the last capital, and fled in the direction of Yecheng with a few sons and guards; When he arrived in Yecheng, Yuan Shao couldn't hold on anymore, and lay on the hospital bed with a gossamer, and his illness was getting critical. Yuan Shao's current wife, Mrs. Liu, saw that Yuan Shao was no longer good, so she hurriedly asked the judge and Xun Chen to come to Yuan Shao's couch to discuss the future, why did she tell the two of them?

The judge is a loyal follower of her own son Yuan Shang, and Xun Chen was invited here as a notary; Yuan Shao couldn't even speak, his fingers kept pointing to the south, and he didn't know what he wanted to say; Mrs. Liu said eagerly: "Can Shang'er succeed him?" Yuan Shao nodded and said yes.

His other two sons, Yuan Tan, have been sent to Qingzhou by him, and it is precisely because of Yuan Tan sent to Qingzhou that he transferred the trial from Qingzhou, and the situation in Qingzhou is not good now, and he was intimidated by Xu Rong's arrogant style of play, and lost most of it; The eldest son Yuan Tan was sent to Qingzhou, the second son Yuan Xi was sent to Youzhou by him, and Yuan Shang was left behind in Jizhou. The judge wrote a will with tears in his eyes and showed it to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's wish was fulfilled, he screamed, turned over and vomited blood and died!

It's a pity: The ministers of the past have established a great name, and the young man is arrogant. There are 3,000 empty recruits, and there are millions of heroes. The sheep tiger skin is not enough, and the phoenix feather chicken is difficult to achieve. Even more pity for a sad place, the family is in trouble and the two brothers are in vain.

A generation of heroes passed away

What's even more tragic is that Cao Cao's army is imminent, and what Yuan Shang and his mother did is even more absurd; Mrs. Liu killed all five of Yuan Shao's favorite concubines; and feared that his ghost would meet Shao again under the Nine Springs, and he would stab his hair, stab his face, and destroy his corpse: his jealousy is so.

Yuan Shang killed all of them in order not to take revenge on the families of these wives and concubines! There are thousands of people! He didn't want to think about whether the wife and concubine Yuan Shao married could be ordinary people? Those are all political marriages that are facilitated by the need for the development of power and the increase of strength!

It is also a means used by Yuan Shao to appease these scholars, it doesn't matter if this killing, what matters is that they have resentment in their hearts, and someone has already started to contact Cao Cao! This is a self-defeating one!

After finishing this vote, Yuan Shang led General Sima himself, and led the pastors of Ji, Qing, You, and the four states; began to reward them aggressively, intending to win people's hearts and resist Cao Cao, which can be described as ambitious! However, he also knew that his strength alone would definitely not work, so he released Tian Feng and Fu Zhu from the prison, and asked for a plan, Tian Feng told him that he should unite the other two sons and work together!

The letter was sent out, but it was sunk in the sea, and each of his two brothers responded! Needless to say, Guo Tu and Xin Ping around him did not approve of him waving his army to Jizhou, let him gain a firm foothold in Qingzhou first, and then say, when they competed for the throne of the prince, they fought the most fiercely, thinking that Yuan Shang might kill himself, Yuan Tan did not go back to mourn; Yuan Xi had the heart to go back, and he didn't compete with his brother for the throne of the prince at the beginning, but he got Yuan Shao's secret order to tell him to stay in Youzhou honestly, and fight hard to save the last trace of blood of the Yuan family!

What does Yuan Shao mean by this? It means that he has seen that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are not the material for great things, and they cannot be entrusted with important tasks, only he, an honest person, can be entrusted with important tasks, Yuan Xi did not go back, but what he did as a son is still more authentic, he should wear linen and filial piety, wear linen and wear filial piety, and he should pay tribute, so that at least others can't find fault with it;

After conquering Anyang, Cao Cao sent Xiahoudun as the commander, Cao Hong, Ma Chao, Li Dian, and Hua Xiong as generals, Xun Yu and Xun You as the supervisors, escorting 300,000 prisoners and a large amount of grain and grass back to Yanzhou to digest the benefits brought by these wars; And he himself led more than 150,000 troops all the way from Anyang City to attack Jizhou, Yu Guangping broke 30,000 Yuan troops, killed the general Wang Zhao, along the way like a bamboo, Cao Jun everywhere he went, and when he attacked Yecheng City, he found that Yuan Shao's sons were surprisingly united; Because of Tian Feng's suggestion, the so-called cold lips and teeth, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi did not dare to slack off, and they all gathered soldiers and horses to come to help, forming a two-headed snake suit outside Ye City to resist Cao Cao's invasion; Cao's army couldn't attack for a long time, after all, people only defended but not attacked, and there were no more than 100,000 people and horses equal to themselves; Guo Jia suggested: "Yuan Shao abolished the elder and the young, and between the brothers, the power is combined, each building a party, saving each other if it is urgent, and fighting for it if it is slow; It is better to raise troops south to Jingzhou, pretending to conquest Liu Biao, in order to wait for the change of the Yuan brothers; It becomes and then hits, and it can be decided in one fell swoop. ”

Li Yu also said: "It's not bad to take this opportunity to annex Qingzhou and merge states!" In this way, the three brothers are squeezed together, and it is inevitable that they will be filthy! ”

Cao Cao praised goodness, crowned Wei Yan as the general of the broken capture to conquer and annex the state, ordered Xu Rong to attack Qingzhou urgently, and he himself returned to the south of the army, retreated to Chenliu County to cross the water for a generation, waiting for the opportunity; Soon the opportunity came! Hearing that Cao Cao had withdrawn from the army, Yuan Xi directly pulled out the camp and returned to Youzhou, while Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were affectionate on the surface, Yuan Tan found Guo Tu and Xin Ping, two loyal dogs: "I am the eldest son, but I can't inherit my father's business, Yuan Shang was born to my stepmother but now I have become the heir, I am unwilling!" ”

Guo Tu smiled and said treacherously: "It's better to cut the mess quickly!" Directly", he gestured to kill, hearing that Yuan Tan was in his heart, he nodded silently, and after Guo Tu left, Yuan Tan was uneasy, so he wanted to find someone to say; So he told Wang Xiu about the strategy with Qingzhou, and Wang Xiu persuaded him: "Brother is the right and left hand!" If you do this, you will be cutting off your arm, and even if you ascend to the throne, what will you do? In the end, this will only benefit others! ”

Yuan Tan was unhappy in his heart, but he still wanted to be that unique general! Fame and fortune are moving, and he is now crazy! sent someone to invite Yuan Shang to drink, wanting to kill Yuan Shang, but Tian Feng saw through the strategy, and was caught off guard by Yuan Shang's troops, defeated again and again, and could only stick to the plains; So something even more ridiculous happened, Yuan Tan was now at the end of his rope, and he couldn't even save his life, so he decided to ask Cao Cao for help, and sent the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to escort Xin Bi, the younger brother of Xin Ping, to ask Cao Cao for help! He turned to the enemy for help!

Yuan Tan did this matter from Guo Tu, because Guo Tu and Cao Cao had a lot of hatred, but this matter was soon known to Guo Tu! Guo Tu killed Yuan Tan! and beheaded Xin Ping and the Xin family! He set himself up as the Qingzhou pastor and was ready to fight Cao Cao!
