Chapter 266: Brothers Fight
The content of the official document is very simple, that is, the Son of Heaven canonized Yuan Tan as the Marquis of Ye and inherited his father Yuan Shao's position as the general and pastor of Jizhou.
This is quite a threat to Yuan Shang.
You must know that Yuan Tan is the eldest son, if Yuan Shang hadn't forged his will, he wouldn't have been able to inherit his father's position.
Now it's good, the court spoke directly, let Yuan Tan inherit Yuan Shao's legacy.
In this way, Yuan Shang seems to be unjustifiable!
"This plan is very vicious, and it wants the lord's brothers to kill each other!"
The judge frowned.
"It's just that I don't know who proposed this plan to Cao Cao."
Feng Ji sighed slightly.
"Needless to say, it's Yang Ling's bastard!"
If you don't want to think about it, you will definitely be authentic.
Among Cao Cao's strategists, only Yang Ling could come up with such a disgusting idea.
"It's Yang Ling again!"
Yuan Shang's face was gloomy, and he said viciously,
"When I defeat Cao Cao in the future, I will definitely not spare him!"
"These are all afterwords, and the top priority is to think about how to deal with the eldest prince."
The trial said.
In the name of the imperial court, Cao Cao appointed Yuan Tan as the general of Jizhou, and also succeeded the Marquis of Ye.
This move is clearly to provoke the relationship between the Yuan brothers.
Even if Yuan Tan can't see it, his strategist Guo Tu and others can definitely see it.
But Yuan Tan accepted the canonization of the imperial court, and just came to provoke again.
All this shows that Yuan Tan is ready to merge with Yuan Shanghuo!
"What Mr. Jeongnam said is extremely true!"
Yuan Shang showed a hideous smile,
"Mr. Zhengnan and Mr. Yuantu, immediately cut off my eldest brother's grain and grass!"
"Since my eldest brother wants to get along with me, I want to see what he is capable of!"
Judging and matching, Feng Ji nodded one after another.
……
Sure enough, within two days, Yuan Tan gathered all the people and horses, poured out of the nest from Liyang, and came to the outside of Yecheng.
"Yuan Shang, you and I are brothers, so we should have a deep brotherhood and help each other!"
"But you forged your father's death when his bones were still cold, which is really madness!"
"Today, I am ordered by the imperial court to crusade against you."
"If you know each other, open the door and surrender quickly!"
Jiang Qi, the general who was previously loyal to Yuan Shao, had already taken refuge in Yuan Tan and shouted and cursed loudly under the city.
"Who's going to cut this guy for me!"
Yuan Shang, who was on the city wall, had a straight blood vessel on his forehead, and shouted loudly.
"Don't panic, just leave it to me!"
Ma Yan, the governor general on the side, responded as soon as he stood up and walked out of the city.
Jiang Qi squinted at Ma Yan and smiled disdainfully,
"Mayan, the Ancestor also loved you very much. Now that the ancestor has died, you don't want to be loyal to the eldest prince, but you run to help the abuse, aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at you? If you know each other, quickly put down your weapons and turn against each other, and the eldest prince will not treat you badly! ”
Jiang Qi can be literary and martial, although he is not very good, but he can also be regarded as a Confucian general.
Ma Yan didn't bother to fight with him, raised the big knife, grabbed the horse's belly, and rushed over.
"Don't talk nonsense, let's see the real chapter on the weapon!"
Jiang Qi sneered and rushed to fight.
The two clanged and fought for a while, but they saw Jiang Qi seize the opportunity and shoot down Ma Yan's big knife with one shot.
Mayan was startled and did not dare to stay, so he turned his horse and fled.
Jiang Qi originally wanted to pursue, but when he got to the city gate, he saw ten thousand arrows fired from above, and he was almost killed on the spot!
He had to scold a few words and turn around and leave.
Seeing Jiang Qi repelling Ma Yan, Yuan Tan's soldiers cheered one after another.
And Yuan Shang on the city wall was extremely angry.
"Rubbish!"
Ma Yan, who rushed up, shouted.
Ma Yan's face was ashamed, and he bowed his head and said,
"The last general is incompetent, please punish the lord."
The trial on the side hurriedly started the round,
"It's no wonder General Ma, Jiang Qi still has some real skills."
Yuan Shang also knew in his heart that his eldest brother had made many military exploits with his father, and he was very prestigious.
Capable generals like Wen Chou and Jiang Qi have all chosen to take refuge.
Although he is strong and strong, he still can't compare with Yuan Tan in terms of generals.
Yuan Shang's face softened at this time, and he looked at the trial and Feng Ji with some expectation.
"Do the two gentlemen have a strategy to break the enemy?"
The judge twisted his beard and groaned,
"The eldest prince only has 30,000 people, and there are no siege equipment, so it is almost impossible to attack Yecheng."
"Let's stay still and see what happens to the eldest prince."
Feng Ji also nodded,
"What Mr. Jeongnam said makes a lot of sense."
"Okay, let's hang up the no-war card."
Yuan Shang made up his mind.
Seeing that Yuan Shang's men and horses retreated into the city and couldn't get out, Yuan Tan was helpless for a while, so he had to order to return to the camp.
In the camp.
"Do you have a good plan to storm the city?"
Yuan Tan looked at everyone.
But everyone, you look at me, I look at you, it's all at a loss.
Just as the judge said, Yuan Tan only had 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and he had no siege equipment.
On the other hand, Yuan Shang has 70,000 horses.
If you want to attack Yecheng, it is almost difficult to reach the sky!
Xun Chen thought for a long time, and suddenly smiled,
"I got an idea."
"Does Mr. Youruo have a way to break the city?"
Yuan Tan looked at him expectantly.
"I don't have a way to break the city, but I have a way to force the third prince to come out."
Xun Chen smiled slightly,
"Now that it is the time of the summer harvest, the lord can send light horsemen to plunder grain and grass in all directions."
"I don't believe it, the third son can sit still!"
Hearing this, Yuan Tan's eyes suddenly lit up.
That's right, how did I forget this stubble!
If the grain and grass are scavenged, not only can they ensure their own grain and grass supply, but they can even make Jizhou have a famine next year.
If he doesn't want this to happen, he will have to go out of the city to stop him!
Yuan Tan finally made a decision and commanded,
"Mr. Tomorua is really resourceful! Just do what the gentleman says! ”
Listening to Yuan Tan's praise, Xun Chen smiled proudly.
The world only knows that his younger brother Xun Yu is Wang Zuozhicai, but they don't know that he is also a talented person.
Otherwise, how could he be appointed by Yuan Shao as the mastermind?
……
According to Xun Chen's plan, Yuan Tan sent several light cavalry troops to frantically plunder grain and grass in Jizhou.
This news soon spread to Yuan Shang's side.
"Big brother is too much of a jerk!"
Yuan Shang was so angry that he slapped the table!
Recently, it is the time of the summer harvest, if Yuan Tan really wants to scavenge the grain and grass in Jizhou, they will have to drink the northwest wind next year!
Judging and matching, Feng Ji also frowned.
They completely forgot about the summer harvest, which is good, but the situation is quite passive.
"In this way, we can only face off with the eldest prince head-on."
The judge sighed.
"But the eldest prince's subordinates are like clouds, and we are afraid that we are a little choked."
Feng Ji's expression was quite solemn.
Not to mention anything else, just a literary ugly, no one under Yuan Shang can stop him.
