After Yuan Shu evacuated Shouchun, the soldiers and civilians who remained in Shouchun immediately fell into a huge panic, and almost did not put up any resistance, and were easily defeated by the coalition forces of various princes.

Ao Lie was the first to lead the army into Shouchun, after entering the city, Ao Lie immediately in the name of the hussar general, issued a military order, strictly ordered the soldiers in the army not to disturb the people, not to burn down the buildings in the city, not to kill innocent people. Ao Lie issued such a military order, not because he was afraid that the soldiers under his command would be higher than such a thing, but he was afraid that after the other princes entered the city, they would do things that hurt the heavens and reason.

In the Han Dynasty, after the city was broken, it happened from time to time that his subordinates were allowed to wantonly plunder and rape women in the city, and Ao Lie did not want to see this scene, so he issued strict military orders in advance to restrain other soldiers from all walks of life. Nominally, Ao Lie is the champion Hou and the hussar general, ranking above the three dukes, and is the highest official in the Han Dynasty except for Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, who can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person. Even Cao Cao, who is ranked as the third duke, is on the same level as Ao Lie in terms of rank, but in terms of status, he is slightly inferior to Ao Lie. Among the princes from all walks of life, from Cao Cao to below, all of them were controlled by Ao Lie, so for Ao Lie's military orders, these people still had to give face.

Subsequently, the princes of all walks of life drove into Shouchun successively, after seeing Ao Lie's military order, except for Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the other people were very dissatisfied, but they were afraid of Ao Lie's prestige, so they had to temporarily endure this breath, and each restrained his subordinates to abide by Ao Lie's military order. The nine prohibitions and eighteen slashes of the Youhe Group Army are now well-known all over the world. No one wants to try the taste of the eighteen chops for themselves.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to rest in the city for a day, Ao Lie invited all the princes to come and discuss the pursuit of Yuan Shu. In fact, after the Battle of Dong and the Battle of Shaxian, Ao Lie was already disheartened by these so-called heroes at that time, and he really didn't expect them to play any role, Ao Lie's purpose this time was just to not want them to drag their feet. And Ao Lie can't snub these princes or the generals sent by the princes in face, otherwise, it will be easy for people with ulterior motives. said that Ao Lie was arrogant. Look down on the heroes of the world.

As a result, this parliament naturally broke up unhappily. Except for Sun Ce, who has always respected Ao Lie, only Cao Cao agreed to merge with Ao Lie. Let's fight against Yuan Shu together. Others. For various reasons, they all refused to listen to Ao Lie's arrangement.

Huang Zu had a holiday with Ao Lie before, so he naturally refused to obey Ao Lie's orders. prevaricated that he was just a general sent by Liu Biao, and he couldn't be the master of his family, so he had to send someone back to Xiangyang to report to Liu Biao before he could decide the next step; And Liu Bei is selfish, for fear of being sent by Ao Lie to be cannon fodder, it is not easy for him to save this bit of belongings, so he naturally doesn't want to make a wedding dress for Ao Lie again; As for Yuan Shao's trio, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, they didn't come to the parliament at all, and asked the sergeant who went to deliver the letter to report: Yuan Shao is a Jizhou pastor and a general of the chariot cavalry, and he is equal to Ao Lie in rank, so there is no need to obey Ao Lie's orders!

Speaking of which, this crusade against Yuan Shu is indeed different from the original crusade against Dong Zhuo. At the beginning, Cao Cao issued an edict and called on all the princes in the world to King Qin in the name of the Son of Heaven. But now, Liu Xie did not mention the matter of the coalition army in the edict, but only let the princes of all walks of life spontaneously send people to conquer Yuan Shu, Liu Xie's edict has two meanings, first, he is to prevent someone from dragging Ao Lie's hind legs like the battle against Dong, so he deliberately did not let the princes from all walks of life form a coalition army; Second, Liu Xie has been the emperor for a long time, and there have been some changes in his body, and he is afraid that all the princes will find a common interest support point and form an alliance in the process of jointly crusading against Yuan Shu, which is not what he wants to see.

In addition, after the war against Dong, for several years, the various princes annexed each other, and the powerful princes swallowed up the weak princes, and the general environment was not quite the same as at the beginning. At the beginning, a county Taishou could be called a prince all the way, but now, if there is no state in his hands, he is embarrassed to call himself a prince, except for a thick-skinned person like Liu Bei, of course. It is not surprising that everyone has at least one state in their hands, and no one is subordinate to each other.

In any case, if you can prevent others from making trouble for you, Ao Lie's goal will be achieved. Ao Lie simply made a favor, let the three of Judge, Huang Zu and Liu Bei be stationed in the city, and he united Sun Ce and Cao Cao's men and horses to go to Jiangting and Yuan Shu to fight to the death.

Jiangting, located in the northeast corner of Shouchun, has a natural hazard nearby, named Yanhui Valley. Yuan Shu hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in the valley, and it can be said that this is the granary of Shouchun. Since Ao Lie set fire to Yuan Shao's granary in Yecheng, Yuan Shu has had more eyes, and he has found the dangerous place of Yanhui Valley after the most reluctance, and immediately moved the granary over. And inside and outside the valley, according to the dangerous mountain terrain, build a lot of fortifications, Yuan Shu dare to guarantee that as long as there are 10,000 troops guarding here, there is no more than 50,000 troops, there is no need to break through at all!

However, Yuan Shu ignored a very important point, no matter how strong the defense line was on the outside, it couldn't resist the impact on the inside. Yuan Shu usually expropriated the people in the territory and extorted violently, and he was already full of complaints, since he became the emperor, he was even more arrogant and domineering, and became extremely suspicious, and he would send his guards to investigate the behavior of the martial arts under his command at every turn.

Yan Xiang is a very good example, when Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Yuan Shu fled Luoyang alone, came to Nanyang to take office, on the way to office, when passing through Yuzhou, Yuan Shu met Yan Xiang, at that time Yuan Shu was not as domineering as now, at that time he thought that Yan Xiang was very talented, and he respected Yan Xiang very much, Yan Xiang felt that Yuan Shu attached importance to himself, and he also served under Yuan Shu, who was poor and white at that time, in the past ten years, he was willing to let Yuan Shu drive, it is precisely because of Yan Xiang's assistance that Yuan Shu became a hegemon step by step, Took possession of the entire Huainan region.

But today's Yuan Shu is only because Yan Xiang sent his wife and children away from Shouchun. suspected that he had betrayed himself, and even disregarded Yan Xiang's past merits, he would have killed Yan Xiang immediately, if it weren't for the painstaking efforts of other civil and military officials, Yuan Shu made a change and put Yan Xiang in prison, Yan Xiang would have been in a different place. For Yan Xiang, a veteran who can be called the minister of the dragon, Yuan Shu can handle it, let alone other subordinates.

Yuan Shu's tyranny, after a series of defeats. It has been upgraded to the point of no return. The fear in his heart and the desire to survive almost made Yuan Shu lose all his mind, and in recent days, the officials who were scolded by Yuan Shu's staff. There are more than 20 people! Let follow Yuan Shu to Jiangting's subordinates. began to separate from him.

This night. Yuan Shu's subordinate Lei Bo brought wine and food to visit his good friend - Chen Lan, who had just been scolded by Yuan Shu's staff for a hundred and was almost beaten to death. The reason why Chen Lan was scolded by Yuan Shu was ridiculous, just because Chen Lan was in front of Yuan Shu. I accidentally released a fart that was not much louder than a mosquito cry! However, Yuan Shu thought that Chen Lan felt that he Yuan Shu had sunset, and began to disrespect him and stopped taking him seriously.

After entering Chen Lan's tent, Lei Bo first looked at Chen Lan's injuries, and he saw that Chen Lan's entire back, up to his shoulders and down to his calves, there was no longer a complete piece of skin, and every place was blurred by the beating. Putting down the wine and food, Lei Bo sighed and said, "I don't know when Lu Dao will be a leader on such a day." ”

Chen Lan rebuked the guards in the tent, took Lei Bo's hand, and said angrily: "Yuan Shu is capricious and tyrannical, if it goes on like this, we will all be unable to escape death, not to mention that there is that little overlord Ao Lie watching by, and he will definitely lead the troops to come soon, and we will all be Yuan Shu's funeral." ”

Hearing Chen Lan's name for Yuan Shu, he was already calling him by his name, as a friend, Lei Bo still didn't understand Chen Lan's thoughts, and said hesitantly: "You mean, rebellion?" ”

Chen Lan nodded heavily and continued: "You and I have a total of 20,000 military horses in our hands, relying on these 20,000 military horses, the world can go!" Why don't we rob Yuan Shu's grain and grass, and then go to Mount Tai to fall into the grass, wouldn't it be happier than being angry by Yuan Shu's bird here? ”

After Chen Lan's persuasion, Lei Bo finally agreed to Chen Lan's suggestion. An hour later, Chen Lan endured the pain, reluctantly put on the battle armor, and Lei Bo gathered their respective subordinates, stole a large amount of grain and grass that Yuan Shu had hoarded in the valley, and then destroyed the defense of the valley mouth and walked away. The sergeants under the two subordinates are not willing to continue to work for Yuan Shu, and the left and right are also dead, why not get away with it before they die? As a result, none of the 20,000 troops objected, and all of them obeyed the orders of Lei Bo and Chen Lan.

Early the next morning, when Yuan Shu knew that Lei Bo and Chen Lan had turned out of the valley, green smoke rose from the top of his angry head, and all the soldiers on duty last night were executed. However, Yuan Shu's violent behavior, instead of playing the role of a military law, made more soldiers have the heart of defection, following Lei Bo and Chen Lan, the next night, three groups of soldiers fled in a row, not only took away a large amount of grain and grass from Yuan Shu, but also destroyed the fortifications that Yuan Shu painstakingly built outside the valley. let Yuan Shu spend the hardest and most uncomfortable night in his life.

Under the rule of Yuan Shu, because he was tyrannical on weekdays, many people were forced to be cornered, so they spontaneously fell into the grass, so in the territory of Yuan Shu, there were countless bandits and bandits. In the past, Yuan Shu was powerful, and these people did not dare to openly oppose Yuan Shu, but now with the flight of a large number of sergeants, the news that Yuan Shu has declined to the extreme immediately aroused the huge interest of these people, and more than a dozen bandits came to Yanhui Valley to plunder, even if they can't grab any benefits from Yuan Shu, they can kill a few Yuan Shu's sergeants, and it is good to get out of the evil breath in their chests.

In just a few days, Yan Hui Valley no longer had the scene of the crowd a few days ago, it became very deserted, and the 100,000 army gathered by Yuan Shu was now only a few thousand old and weak, not to mention Ao Lie, even Liu Bei, who was the weakest, could easily defeat him.

On that day, Yuan Shu held the rice bowl in his hand, looked at the coarse grains in the bowl, and felt that it was really difficult to swallow, and said to the cooks who delivered the rice: "I am really hard to swallow, you go and get a bowl of honey water." Ku Ding stood still and said loudly: "Only blood and water!" Where does the honey come from! ”

After Yuan Shu tossed for a few days, he was already described as withered and exhausted, and after hearing Ku Ding's answer, a burst of sadness and despair surged into his heart, and he couldn't help screaming, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted on the bed.

When Ao Lie, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce led their troops to Yanhui Valley in Jiangting, they saw an unexpectedly deserted place. It wasn't until the three of them led their soldiers into the valley and asked the surrendered sergeants in detail that they realized that Yuan Shu had already gone to the general trend, and just now, Yuan Shu fainted because of Ku Ding's sentence "only blood and water", and he vomited blood and fainted, and he has not woken up yet.
