Youzhou is already the last stronghold of the Yuan clan in Hebei.

After experiencing the battle of Yecheng, Yuan Xi finally thoroughly understood the power of Boss Cao, what "Chibi defeat", what "cutting beard and abandoning robe", it is just that people occasionally play abnormally, as long as he plays his military talent normally, it is simply impeccable. You see, before every battle, he thinks about the next step in advance, closely follows step by step, and strikes in a series of ways, and he deserves to be the number one strongman in the entire Three Kingdoms period! Look at his third brother of waste, the more he looks at it, the more angry he becomes, this person is also the son of Yuan Shao, and he doesn't even have the courage to fight with Cao Cao, since he fled to Youzhou with him, he was even scared of incontinence as soon as he heard the word "Cao".

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have crossed over with a green prairie on my head! What a shame, what a shame! ”

Yuan Xi scolded angrily in his heart.

Although he has never seen Zhen Mi, and he doesn't know if this woman, known as the "No. 1 Beauty of the Three Kingdoms", is really as beautiful as described in the history books, since he is already recognized as Yuan Xi, she is his recognized wife. Even with the glorious example of Genghis Khan as a reference, Yuan Xi repeatedly told himself that a real hero should have sky-high ambitions, a broad mind like the sea, and a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late. But every time he thought that his wife was arched by Cao Pi pig with cabbage, he still couldn't help but go crazy.

Cao Pi dog thief, you wait for me, the hatred of taking his wife is not shared!

"Second brother, what should we do next, Cao Cao will definitely not let us go." Yuan Shang saw that his brother gritted his teeth for a while, and for a while he thought that his army could escape, and there was not much left to surrender, so he asked worriedly.

"Do your best to hold Youzhou, what else can you do! That's all there is to the inheritance left to us by our father, can we still surrender without a fight like you and give it to Cao Cao? ”

"Second brother, you ......" Yuan Shang didn't expect that Yuan Xi, who had always been generous and kind, and even a little stupid and loyal, would dare to ridicule him, the lord, and was a little at a loss for a while.

"Let's go." For the inevitable battle of Youzhou next, Yuan Xi already has his own plan.

"Where am I going?"

"Go to Wuhuan - the Wuhuan leader Badun, who has received a lot of favors from his father before, and now he is full of wings, a large number of troops, and his strength is the head of the Hu people. As long as you get under his tent, he will do his best to keep you safe. ”

Yuan Shang seemed to see the dawn in the dark, and said excitedly: "Fortunately, the second brother reminded me, it is true, it is true!" What about you, too? ”

"You don't have to worry about that, by the way, take the army with you when you go. I still have nearly 20,000 men under my command, and I have only 2,000 cavalry, and the rest will go with you, in case you encounter another strong enemy on the way. ”

When Yuan Shang heard this, his face became more and more happy. At this time, I only heard Yuan Xi say again: "After my observation, there is a person under my account, whose appearance is very similar to mine, you go to Wuhuan, although I can't go with you, but he can replace me and be a companion with you on the way." If the Wuhuan leader asks, you will be sure, he is Yuan Xi, since the death of our father, our Yuan family has always been the only one who looks at you, as long as your identity is not false, other Wuhuan leaders will not investigate it in detail. ”

Yuan Shang just wants to live, and now he has a good place to go, and he has to give the army generously to the second brother, as for what Yuan Xi wants to stay and do, he doesn't bother to speculate at all. A month later, more than 10,000 Yuan troops surrounded Yuan Shang and "Yuan Xi", two noble sons, embarked on the long road to Wuhuan; At the same time, the real Yuan Xi also gave up Jicheng and came to the north of Youzhou with the only 2,000 cavalry under his command.

When Yuan Shao was alive, he handed over the huge Youzhou to two people, and the one who commanded the south was his second son Yuan Xi, who was stationed in Jicheng; The commander of the north was Liu Yu's generals in the past, who had joined hands with Yuan Shao to defeat Gongsun Zhan's Xian Yufu and garrison Yuyang.

In other words, directly under Yuan Shao's control, in fact, there is only half of Youzhou, and another half of Youzhou is his vassal.

Before the Battle of Yecheng, although Yuan's strength was declining and internally divided, Xian Yufu was still loyal to Yuan, and Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Tan were successively defeated by Cao's army. He asked the two generals: "Yuan's foundation, Cao Cao has captured eight or nine out of ten, and in the coming year, he will personally conquer Youzhou." In your opinion, should I continue to be loyal to the Yuan clan next, or should I take advantage of the fact that Cao Jun has not yet arrived, draw a clear line with the Yuan clan as soon as possible, and send someone to Yecheng to deliver the surrender table? ”

These two generals, one named Tian Yu and the other named Yan Rou, are both wise and resourceful men with both civil and military skills. Xian Yufu respects the two of them very much, and the three of them are nominally superior-subordinate relationships, more like sworn brothers. As early as after the battle of Guandu, these two people had the intention to persuade Xian Yufu to surrender to Cao Cao, since it was Xian Yufu who took the initiative to ask questions this time, the two did not think about it, and immediately replied: "Of course, it is better to draw a line with the Yuan clan as soon as possible and surrender to Cao Cao." Lord Taishou, do you think, now let's surrender Cao Cao, Cao Cao still needs us, and when Cao Cao's army arrives next year and captures Youzhou, what is the point of your surrender to Cao Cao at that time? ”

"What the two generals said is yes, but Yuan Shao was very kind to you and me before his death, so he betrayed his son......"

"Eh, it's not that the adults betrayed them, but that the sons of the Yuan family are more pustules than one another, and they are even so stupid that they are fratricidal, and they don't deserve sympathy at all. Besides, Yuan Tan is dead, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi have also been defeated one after another, and their lives are short, even if we want to help them, can you help with this little bit of strength in your hands? Today's Cao Cao's strength is unshakable, and anyone who opposes him is like a mantis arm as a car! ”

Xian Yufu no longer hesitated: "You two are right, I will personally write to Cao Cao and surrender to him." ”

"Report! My lord, the two generals, there are people outside the city who ask to see them. A soldier entered the council hall and reported to Xian Yufu and the others.

"Who is it, do you see clearly?"

"It seems to be Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi."

Xian Yufu was shocked, hurriedly looked at Tian Yu and Yan Rou, and muttered: "Could it be that he noticed that we were going to betray Yuan and Tou Cao, so he brought soldiers and horses to Xingshi to ask for guilt?" ”

Tian Yu said with a smile: "Your Excellency, don't panic, even if Yuan Xi sees that we plan to surrender Cao, so what, now his strength and our army are between him, can we be helped." If he really dares to send troops to attack the city, the last general will cut off his head for you, just to give Cao Cao Na as a vote! After speaking, he put away his smile and said to the soldier who came to report the news: "Yuan Xi is here, how many soldiers and horses did he bring?" ”

"There is only one man and one rider."
