Chapter 377: Decisive Battle, Yuan Clan's Internal Strife
In the night, Hu Chuquan led the department to return slowly!
Seeing this, Yuan Shao instantly came to hope, but he didn't have much joy when he saw the Huns, and he probably knew in his heart that Chu Feng still ran away, and even the strongest Huns couldn't keep him.
"Chu Feng ran away?" Yuan Shao asked.
"Gong Yuan, that Chu Feng is not easy to deal with! The two leaders of our army were hacked to death by one of their halberds, and nearly a thousand horsemen were killed, but our army only killed dozens of cavalry of the Chu army, this black flag army is too strong! ”
Hu Chuquan said in a deep voice with a solemn face.
It was the first time he had encountered such a strong opponent in so many years.
"Killed dozens of horsemen?" Yuan Shao frowned and exclaimed, originally he thought that Chu Feng would at least lose a lot of soldiers and horses, but who would have wanted to kill a thousand people, but he only killed dozens of people.
Hu Chuquan nodded, not wanting to repeat it.
"Gong Yuan, that Chu Feng is definitely not as easy to deal with as he thinks." Hu Chuquan added, but this sentence was meaningful, as if to remind Yuan Shao that the merger he provided was not a good deal.
Yuan Shao frowned and didn't say much.
But I am dissatisfied in my heart, if it is easy to deal with, I still need to come to you? It's because it's hard to deal with.
"Okay, let's all retreat, in the next time, consolidate the camp, quickly transport soldiers, ensure logistics, and ensure that we can fight head-on." Yuan Shao waved his hand and said.
"No!" Bunton and Huchuquan should retreat.
As the two left, in the dark night, Yuan Shao's figure was a little stiffer, it was too difficult, although his hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were not elite, but it was only a long time, and the soldiers and horses had lost so much!
He was worried about whether he would really be able to make it to the end.
Xu You looked at Yuan Shao, hesitated slightly, but still spoke: "Lord, although Hu Chuquan and Bun Dun are nominally respected by the lord, they have become more and more unpopular in recent days!" ”
"My subordinates are worried that even if they can defeat Chu Feng one day, they may not be able to take the Central Plains, these jackals, tigers and leopards may be able to spy on one or two, these must be guarded against!!"
"They dare!" Yuan Shaosheng was angry,
But I also know in my heart that these people can indeed do this, whether it is Wuhuan or Xiongnu, they are all unscrupulous people for the sake of profit, and today they can help themselves because of their own territory.
Another day, I will be stabbed in the back because of the ground,
Isn't that what Fang Chuquan meant?
"Don't worry, my big man can't get involved with them yet, if they really dare to think more, I will destroy them with my own hands!" Yuan Shao took a deep breath and felt a little more gloomy. 、
This one Chu Feng made his head big, this sentence at this moment is nothing more than bragging, he really has the ability to destroy the two, and he won't let the two of them be so rampant!
Xu Yu didn't know this, so he silently shut up and didn't speak!
And just like that, a battle ended.
Everyone waited in a panic for half the night, and began to go back to bed.
——
The next day, Yuan Shao got up early in the morning.
In a handsome tent, there was only Yuan Jun himself.
Yuan Shao looked at the letter that was handed over, instantly gritted his teeth, and angrily reprimanded: "Waste, a group of waste, this battle has lost nearly 28,000 people, that's 28,000 people, not more than 20,000 pigs!" ”
The roaring voice resounded through the handsome tent, and Yuan Shao even smashed the letter in his hand directly on Han Meng.
"Give me an explanation, or you'll be there today." Yuan Shao looked at Han Meng fiercely, with an expression of hatred that iron is not steel, and he was also angry, until the start of the war, Yuan's army has killed 40,000 people before and after.
Just this battle damage, still playing chicken?
"Lord, I., I was already going to take Lu Meng, but who would have thought that the Chu army was coming, and dozens of miles away, we were defeated, so we could only flee in the wilderness."
Han Meng lowered his head, not knowing how to explain.
At first, he never thought that his soldiers and horses would lose so much, this is only a battle, it is just an encounter, and an encounter is like this, he really doesn't know what will happen later.
"Now, the combat capability of our army has been questioned by the Wuhuan Huns, if it goes on like this, the two of them will inevitably disagree, and even rebel can't be said, but you are incompetent and exhausted to death by the three armies, cut yourself!"
Yuan Shao scolded angrily, but he didn't want to.
Hearing this, Han Meng, who had been relieved last night, instantly tightened his heart, good guy, his boss let him cut himself, fuck this bastard, and immediately pleaded: "Lord, the last general has no merit and hard work,"
"Don't worry, the lord will definitely make the merits and never disgrace the lord!"
Han Meng's words begging for mercy echoed in the tent, but Yuan Shao didn't know how to forgive, there were too many deaths in this battle, the key was not to kill Lu Meng, Chu Feng was still positive, it was definitely not good news. ,
Seeing that Yuan Shao ignored it, Han Meng hurriedly looked at the strategists, his eyes met, and motioned for them to beg for mercy.
"Lord, now is the time to employ people, killing our generals at this moment will inevitably cause turmoil in the army's heart, it is better to let General Han make meritorious contributions, firstly, let him make meritorious contributions, and secondly, it can also inspire people."
Xu You sighed lightly and said in a row of persuasions.
There is no way, there is no one under Yuan Shao's command who can use it, and if Han Meng is killed at this juncture, then all the other generals are in danger, who would dare to sell their lives!
Several other ministers also admonished one after another, saying that Han Meng would be guilty of his crimes.
Yuan Shao saw Xu You's eyes, he also took a deep breath, and immediately said: "That's it, since you are all pleading for you, I won't kill you for the time being, but you must make meritorious service to me!" ”
"No!" Han Meng nodded again and again,
But at this moment, an eager voice sounded,
"Report~, the lord of Qi, the third prince is here to guard, and he said,"
"Say what?" Yuan Shao frowned and asked,
"It is said that when the third prince returned to Liyang, he was shot by Huang Zhong, and he was lucky to survive, so he came to report the news!" The man replied.
"What? What did you say? Shang, Shang'er is dead? Yuan Shao's pupils suddenly dilated, and he instinctively slapped the case, and then he only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and his eyes were gradually blurred.
He loves his third son the most, but Yuan Shang actually died?
There was a faint sound of everyone shouting for him in his ears, but he fainted directly in anger.
When he fainted to death, Xu You's pupils shrank, pinching his beard, and he glanced at Yuan Tan faintly, the moment Yuan Shang's news came out, the first thing he thought of was Yuan Tan,
And although Yuan Tan pretended to be very similar, Xu You still grabbed a clue from it,
It stands to reason that Yuan Tan was instinctively surprised when he heard the news, and his heart was ecstatic, but this Yuan Tan behaved too much, as if he knew in advance that Yuan Shang would die, so he behaved abnormally.
Thinking of this, Xu Yu sighed lightly,
A wave of unevenness, wave after wave, Yuan's foundation has not yet been stabilized, but brothers are killing each other, it is really sad, maybe this is a kind of torture by God for Yuan Shao!
A ruthless emperor since ancient times!
At this time, I don't know if it's right or wrong!
At this moment, all the generals in the tent were in a daze, but the scribes were possessed by their acting skills.
Xiang Yuan Shang's Feng Ji seemed to have no master of the six gods at this moment, his master was actually dead, but Guo Tu pretended.
As for Yuan Tan, he grabbed the man and kept roaring: "Where is my brother's personal soldier, say it quickly, say it quickly!" ”
I don't know that I think it's homesickness, but in fact, he is worried that the people he sent will show his feet, after all, Yuan Shang was ambushed at that time, his personal guards struggled to protect him, and Yuan Shang ran out and was killed!
After a while, a personal soldier was brought over,
The soldier was wounded by an arrow, and it is estimated that he pretended to be dead at that time and escaped.
Yuan Tan looked at the guard, and he didn't know if the guard had seen his people behind him to frame him, and he was a little panicked in his heart, and immediately roared angrily: "What the hell is going on? Why didn't you protect my brother? ”
At the same time, Yuan Tan drew his sword, with an expression of pain and despair,
That scared the guard enough!
"Stop, stop!"
Yuan Shao woke up slowly, and said weakly.
"Say, what the hell is going on? Why did my Shang'er die tragically at the hands of Huang Zhong, and why did he come to Liyang! Yuan Shao sat up, unable to hide the pain of the wounded, and said in a trembling voice.
"Back to the lord, my subordinates don't know, I only know that the third prince suddenly received a letter, saying that he was coming to Liyang, it was the lord's seal letter, and then on the way to Liyang, he set up an ambush for the traitor,"
"At the beginning, we tried our best to support it, Shang Gongzi had escaped the scope of the ambush, and I was lucky to survive in the initial ambush, but then I don't know why, Shang Gongzi died several miles away, dying of arrow wounds."
"When the subordinates arrived, Childe was already dead, and the subordinates found this on Childe!" The guard said, handing over a blood-stained letter.
Yuan Shao took it tremblingly, and slowly opened the letter, the content of which was probably to imitate his tone and let him go to Liyang to arrange something, but despite the seal, it was obviously imitated.
Because his seal has a slight gap, but this seal does not, it stands to reason that Yuan Shang should not believe it!
Yuan Shao was heartbroken, he didn't know what to do for a while, the crying gradually sounded in the handsome tent, and everyone sighed, and they all lowered their heads, they didn't dare to ask more about this kind of thing.
But they're all human spirits, too.
Yuan Shang's death, the biggest beneficiary is naturally Yuan Tan, so Yuan Shang came over in vain, and it is most likely that Yuan Tan did it.
"Go down, go down!"
Yuan Shao sobbed twice and said to everyone tremblingly.
Everyone looked at each other, and then they all retreated.
"Xu You, you stay for a while!" Yuan Shao opened his mouth and shouted to stop Xu You,
"Lord!" As everyone retreated, Xu Yu arched his hand and spoke.
"Xu You, Yuan Shang died halfway for no reason, who do you think was the killer?" Yuan Shao put the letter aside and asked regretfully.
"Didn't the guards already tell them that it was done by Huang Zhong, the general under Chu Feng's command? Could it be that there are other people, whose subordinates are dull, and they still hope that the lord will correct them! Xu You pretended to be stunned directly.
"You, you, do you still have to pretend not to know at this moment?" Yuan Shao was helpless and a little sad.
Xu You lowered his head, he didn't dare to get involved in this kind of thing.
"The ruthless emperor's family since ancient times!" Yuan Shao sighed,
"Lord, are you suspicious of the eldest prince?" Xu You pretended to be puzzled and asked.
"Who else but him?" Yuan Shao was a little annoyed: "Hey, blame me, blame me, if I had listened to your advice and set up a son to inherit the family business, I wouldn't have come to this field,"
"But I just want to see who is more talented among their brothers!"
Yuan Shao blamed himself a little, his mentality collapsed, his sons killed each other, how could he, as a father, not feel heartache.
Xu You hung his head: "Lord, why don't you suspect the second son, Yuan Xi?" Isn't he also in the plains? If he is designed, first, he can get rid of the third prince, and second, he can also make the lord suspect the eldest prince,"
"Heh, Yuan Xi doesn't have the ability or the heart," Yuan Shao sneered, his sons, who has the ability to do this, he naturally knows.
"What is the lord going to do with it?" Xu You asked again.
"What do you think?" Yuan Shao looked at Xu You, with a little helplessness in his eyes, he knew that this matter was most likely done by Yuan Tan, but at this moment he couldn't help it,
"Subordinates don't dare to speak up!" Xu You hurriedly said.
"If you say it, you can say it, no one knows!" Yuan Shao snorted coldly,
"This, the subordinates think that it doesn't matter who the third prince died at, the lord can declare to the outside world that the third prince died at the hands of the Chu army, and the eldest prince can be appointed as the successor, and the military spirit can also be consolidated."
Xu Yu hesitated slightly, and immediately suggested,
"Hey, I got it!"
Yuan Shao sighed, but for now, it can only be like this,
"Alright, you can step back first!" Yuan Shao waved his hand, with a little loneliness in his heart, even if he failed one after another, now the heir is fighting for the foundation, and Yuan Tan directly killed Yuan Shang with one blow.
"No!" Xu You nodded and slowly retreated.
Looking at Yuan Shao's lonely expression, Xu You sighed lightly, this may also be the helplessness of the princes, who wants his heir to die and fight among themselves, but he expected it a few years ago.
It's just that he didn't expect that they would do it without waiting for Yuan Shao to get old.
Perhaps, when Yuan Shao set up a successor early and cut off the possibility of inheritance by several others, what happened today would not have happened, and it is strange that Yuan Shao's original decision went wrong.
It seems that after today, there will be another wave of purging under Yuan Shao, and those who can be accepted by Yuan Tan can continue to stay, and those who can't be accepted can roll up and leave.
I just didn't stand in line!
Watching Xu You leave, Yuan Shao silently kept tears, the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, even if he knew what Yuan Tan did, what could he do? Could it be that Yuan Tan was directly executed?
The key is that even if he wants to, he can't help it, then Yuan Tan applied to be transferred to Youzhou and Bingzhou, and now he has a very friendly relationship with Wuhuan Huns, and with an order, maybe even he can replace him.
For a while, Yuan Shao was even more sad,
And on this day, Yuan Shao cried alone,
He thought back to everything about Yuan Shang,
However, Yuan Jun knew that there was going to be a big movement within Yuan Jun, and this movement was estimated to be dead.
Wait until the next day, Yuan Shao is as always,
It's as if Yuan Shang's death didn't happen, and Yuan Shao's attitude towards Yuan Tan just confirms everyone's speculation, Yuan Shao wants to make Yuan Tan his successor, and asks Yuan Tan's opinion every time he does things.
Yuan Shao's transformation is also completely determined, Yuan Tan is the winner of this infighting, and it is a very simple victory, obviously the first strike is stronger!
Correspondingly, there are more and more soldiers and horses crossing the river by the coalition army, all of them are actively preparing for a decisive battle with Chu Feng!
