Cao Ang's letter to Cao Cao was also very simple, that is, to ask Cao Cao to assign people to take over Xuzhou, and then let Zhang Liao and Guo Jia lead their troops to the north and attack Liaodong County on both sides.

As for Gongsun Zan in Xuansu County, seeing that he took the initiative to stop the Wuhuan infantry last time, Cao Ang could spare his life.

At this time, the three Yuans of Liaodong were fighting each other, but they didn't expect that they had already been remembered by Cao Ang.

Last time, in the Battle of Jizhou, Yuan's army suffered a heavy defeat and lost his troops.

The general Yan Liangwen and Zhang He, all of whom died in battle, were also captured by Cao Jun.

The two of them would rather die than surrender, and were ordered to be executed by Cao Ang, only Xin Ping recognized the reality and surrendered decisively, so he left a life and assisted the Xiahou brothers in Jizhou to deal with the government affairs of Jizhou and Youzhou.

The current Liaodong County was divided into three, and the eldest son Yuan Tan, assisted by Guo Tu and Xin Bi, occupied the Xiangping generation, and the territory was the largest.

The third son, Yuan Shang, has the assistance of Feng Ji and occupies the Pingguo generation, and the territory is not small.

The second son, Yuan Xi, occupied the Xi'an Ping generation, and there were no strategists around him, and he had the smallest territory, so he only sought self-preservation.

In fact, the contradiction between the three sons of the Yuan family appeared very early between Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan.

As the ruler of the Yuan Group, Yuan Shao likes his youngest son, so he has not set up a son for a long time.

After he died of illness, according to tradition, Yuan Tan, the eldest son, should inherit Yuan Shao's foundation.

However, Yuan Tan and Feng Ji were at odds, Guo Tu and the Xin brothers also had deep contradictions with Feng Ji, and the trial died in Jizhou.

Feng Ji was worried that Yuan Tan would do something to him after he ascended to the throne, so he made a fake succession book in the name of Yuan Shao to help Yuan Shang to the throne.

As the eldest son, Yuan Tan naturally couldn't hand over the military power in his hands.

Moreover, before Yuan Shao died, he never had the opportunity to see Yuan Shao's face, which made him even more suspicious of the authenticity of this succession letter.

So, with the support of Guo Tu and Xin Bi, Yuan Tan led the troops to directly rebel.

And in order to deal with Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang wanted to take back the military power in Yuan Xi's hands.

But Yuan Xi looked at this situation, you accept my military power, don't you want me to die! So he also slipped away with his troops.

So far, Liaodong County, a small place, has formed a three-legged situation.

……

On this day, Yuan Xi, who had finished a day's patrol, returned to Xi'an Pingcheng physically and mentally exhausted, ready to take a good rest.

Suddenly, one of his men came in a hurry.

"Lord, no, on the sea at the mouth of the river, several huge ships suddenly appeared, looking at their appearance, they are planning to land on the beach here!"

Yuan Xi, who was originally tired to death, couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and hurriedly got up from the chair.

"You said it, but you saw it with your own eyes?" Yuan Xi couldn't figure out who would land from him on a warship.

When the subordinate heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "It's true! Lord, it's just that it's getting late, and I can't see how many ships there are on the sea, but I can faintly see the huge shadow of the ship! ”

"How big?" Yuan Xi looked at the shocked appearance of his subordinates and couldn't help but ask curiously.

The subordinate shook his head when he heard this: "It's hard to say, anyway, a ship of that size, don't say anything about it, and I've never even heard of it!" ”

When Yuan Xi heard this, he was also curious in his heart, he was thinking, how big was that boat, so that his subordinates could panic like this.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi waved his hand directly and said, "Let's go, follow me to see who is coming to me!" ”

Subsequently, Yuan Xi took a group of soldiers to the beach.

Only by this time, the sky was already dark.

Coupled with the bad weather and no moon, Yuan Xi and the others could not see the appearance of the treasure ship, and could only see that the sea was full of torches.

These torches provide light to the treasure ships, so there are so many of them that from a distance, it looks as if there are countless warships floating on the sea.

Yuan Xi and his subordinates couldn't help but gasp when they looked at those torches on the sea.

At this time, one of Yuan Xi's subordinates couldn't help but speak: "Lord, I heard that east of the East China Sea, there is a place called Dongying, could these ships come from there?" ”

Yuan Xi didn't say anything when he heard this, even if he knew where these ships came from, so what?

Whether it was friend or foe, he didn't know at all.

At this time, Cao Ang on the treasure ship naturally saw those torches on the shore.

After Zhao Yun saw those torches, he said: "Young General, someone must have discovered us, so lead the troops to wait again, it is better to let the last general lead the troops to kill, and wait until the shore is safe, and then notify you with the flag, and then you will go ashore again." ”

When Cao Ang heard this, he waved his hand with a smile and said, "Don't be so nervous, it stands to reason that this is Yuan Xi's territory, this kid doesn't have much strength, and he won't do anything to us." ”

Subsequently, Cao Ang directly ordered to let the boat go down, and he would land with 4,000 men.

When the generals saw that Cao Ang had made a decision, they didn't say anything more, but began to release the boat in an orderly manner and prepare to land according to Cao Ang's instructions.

Yuan Xi on the shore, when he was stunned, one of his subordinates reminded him: "Lord, look, the number of torches has increased!" ”

Seeing this, Yuan Xi realized that the other party was preparing to land.

So Yuan Xi waved his hand and directly ordered: "The whole army is on alert, if there is hostility to the people who come, shoot them directly for me!" ”

Yuan Xi's voice was so loud that Cao Ang, who was at sea, heard it.

After Lu Bu heard Yuan Xi's order, he couldn't help but say with a cold face: "Yuan Xi, this little thief, even wants to shoot us to death, he really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall." ”

On the other hand, Zhao Yun and the three of them also looked a little weird when they heard this.

However, Cao Ang didn't feel anything, only to see him wave his hand lightly, and said, "Find a few people with big voices, shout a word together, and say it...... Yuan Xianyong, don't come to harm? ”

As Cao Ang gave an order, the soldiers on several small boats shouted at the same time: "Yuan Xianyong, don't come unharmed?" ”

Yuan Xi on the shore heard this shout, and he was directly stunned.

"What's the situation, someone who came to know me?" Yuan Xi was stunned and muttered to himself.

When one of the subordinates standing beside Yuan Xi heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Lord, could it be that the old lord's old friend learned about the recent situation in Liaodong and came to help you?" ”

"It's possible!" Yuan Xi nodded.

Afterwards, Yuan Xi ordered someone to shout to the sea: "I don't know who is coming?" (End of chapter)
