Chapter 305: The day when Yuan Shao lost his breath, when the army came to Yuan Tan's aid
Since Dong'e and Cangting returned to Yecheng after losing two battles in a row, Yuan Shao fell ill soon after, and the more sick he became, the more serious he became. The cause is also very simple, that is, excessive depression and anger, and stroke.
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke were especially common in wealthy families in ancient times.
After all, the poor people in the Han Dynasty did not have the opportunity to eat high blood pressure and high blood lipids, and they did not have the opportunity to burst blood vessels or plaques to fall off and embolize.
Strokes tend to occur and worsen in winter and summer.
The fiasco of Yuan Shaocangting occurred in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, which was summer, and soon after returning to Yecheng, it ushered in the hottest season of the year, and it fell directly.
After reading it, the medical officers shook their heads: If your life is not good, you won't be able to bear it this summer. Even if you have a good fate and carry it through the summer, you will definitely not be able to carry it this winter.
It's time to prepare for the future.
Yuan Shao was furious, and he wanted to kill Tian Feng, who persuaded him to join the army, to vent his anger.
He lay on the sickbed, his heart full of unwillingness:
When he was in the official crossing, he didn't listen to Tian Feng, he didn't take advantage of Cao Cao's emptiness, and he had to wait for the righteous name of the edict, but he lost.
This time, I listened to Tian Feng, and the other party also said that Cao Cao's northern line was empty at the moment, but he fell into the pit again and kicked the iron plate.
Why don't you listen to Tian Feng and listen to Tian Feng will lose! There is no heavenly reason!
However, just before Yuan Shao made the decision to kill Tian Feng, he took the risk to meet and appealed to Yuan Shao.
It is nothing more than a euphemistic relayment of the situation that he heard that "the eldest prince may have discovered Cao Jun's tricks before the war, but he neglected to verify it, so that he missed the opportunity to see through it".
After Yuan Shao heard this, his mood fluctuations became more and more intense at first, but then he calmed down a bit.
In this life, his bad feelings towards Yuan Tan are far less than those of the same period in history.
After all, when Zhuge Liang sent an envoy three or four years ago, he helped Yuan Tan to transform himself well, and also helped Yuan Tan make some contributions. Coupled with Yuan Xi's early exit, Yuan Shao still cherishes the remaining two sons.
Faced with the appeal of the trial, Yuan Shao did not believe that Yuan Tan would deliberately harm him, at most he was incapable and negligent.
But Yuan Shao's arrogant temper was destined to find someone to vent his anger at defeat.
In the end, he decided to summon Xin Bi, who had previously helped Yuan Tan report the news, and let Xin Bi confront him face to face.
Looking at the series of defeats in Dong'a-Cangting, the main reason is whether Tian Feng's recklessness in his advice or Yuan Tan's delay in intelligence work.
Xin Bi and the trial of the match did not deal with each other, in history Xin Bi was ordered by Yuan Tan to ask Cao Cao for help, directly to Cao, and later Cao Cao attacked Yecheng when Xin Bi came back to persuade him to surrender, and the trial also killed Xin Bi his brother Xin Ping's whole family.
Although all this has not happened yet, Xin Ping Xin Bi is a party of Yuan Tan and Guo Tu, and this established fact has long been a certainty.
So the two had a fierce confrontation in front of Yuan Shao, sneering and sneering, shirking each other's responsibilities.
Yuan Shao was so annoyed by the quarrel that he reprimanded the trial and Xin Bi breathlessly, and did not allow them to come to see him again.
However, this nonsense can be regarded as a no-end, and the trial match took advantage of this to temporarily save Tian Feng's life.
And Cao Cao took advantage of Yuan Shao's serious illness and endless infighting to continue to expand his achievements in Jizhou, and soon advanced to Hejian County.
A large area of fertile countryside in the hinterland of Jizhou without a strong city was temporarily occupied by Cao's army. The amount of grain, grass and population obtained by Cao Jun was extremely huge, and the number of newly coerced people alone reached more than one million.
……
After the battle of tongue between the trial and Xin Bi, Xin Bi was driven back to Qingzhou by Yuan Shao.
After more than ten days on the road, Xin Bi returned to Linzi and met Yuan Tan as soon as possible, explaining the various situations that happened in Yecheng and the infighting initiated by Yuan Shang and the trial.
When Yuan Tan heard about it, he was so angry that he dropped something on the spot.
"What? The trial dog thief actually attacked me about the defeat of Dong'a? I have already sent my husband to warn my father as soon as possible, but this is not enough?
He still thinks I didn't see that Sun Quan came with Han Dang? I have every opportunity, how can I have time to summon Han Dang on the same day, and it is impossible to think of separating and interrogating Han Dang's parts one by one! Isn't that hard for a strong man?
Dong'e was defeated, obviously Tian Yuanhao neglected to offer advice and instigated his father to advance! Why did Sentinel Cao Jun become the task of our Qingzhou Army's family? Tian Feng judged this group of Hebei dogs, and he really didn't want to have a face! The trouble I caused was planted on my head in order to get rid of the crime! ”
Yuan Tan roared angrily, thinking that there is no reason in the world, isn't this "not doing good, doing more wrong"?
Obviously, everyone should bear the obligation, be active, the leader blames you for seeing it late, and those who didn't see it from beginning to end are right?
After Yuan Tan threw things and vented enough, his anger calmed down a little, and then he remembered to ask his father how he reacted, shouldn't he be bewitched by the trial, right?
But Xin Bi said sadly: The lord did not order the eldest prince to take away any power, but at the same time severely criticized the eldest prince and Tian Feng, believing that both sides did not do a good job.
Yuan Tan was held accountable by his father, and he felt more and more incomprehensible:
Is this still his own father? Why are you so yourself?
Even Uncle Liu next door treats him better than his own father!
The corners of Yuan Tan's mouth twitched, and then he summoned Wang Xiu and Xin Ping, and asked them to work with Xin Bi, and then threw out a proposal in front of the three of them:
"Judge, Tian Feng bewitched his father, and his father was seriously ill. I want to go to Yecheng in person, sweep away the traitors, and serve my father's illness, what do you think? ”
The three of them were all shocked, and said in their hearts, did the eldest prince want to directly enter the center and seize the throne?
But if you go now, you don't seem to have much of a chance.

Of these three strategists, the Xin brothers are from Yuzhou, and Wang Xiu is a native of Qingzhou.
They all know very well that the distribution of power structures within Yuan Shao's camp has led to the fact that for many years, the local civil and military factions in Jizhou have bet on the third prince. So much so that over time, the non-Jizhou faction united around the eldest prince.
The more non-Jizhou people around the eldest prince, the deeper the hostility of the Jizhou group towards the eldest prince, and the more they feel that "once the eldest prince ascends to power, the foreign faction will take full power and completely overwhelm the Hebei faction."
The problem of the distribution of benefits cannot be solved by justice and comity morality. Even if the eldest prince becomes more capable and popular, those Hebei people will not support the eldest prince.
There are so many resources, and if the outsiders are reused, the locals will not be able to divide them, and this contradiction cannot be reconciled.
Therefore, Xin Bi and Wang Xiu couldn't help but persuade Yuan Tan to calm down: "The eldest prince must not be reckless!" How many of those people in Yecheng are wary of us, if the eldest prince does not bring troops to Yecheng, won't he stand under the dangerous wall?
If you lead troops to Yecheng, the lord is now seriously ill, and it is easy to be honest, if the lord's anger deteriorates rapidly because of this, even if it is not caused by the eldest prince, outsiders will also slander the eldest prince! ”
Yuan Tan: "Then do I just watch the third brother and his henchmen behave indiscriminately?!" ”
Xin Bizhi thought about it again and again, and persuaded euphemistically: "The eldest prince, I have a word, the lord is a general, not just a Jizhou pastor. This Yecheng is only the temporary residence of the lord's shogunate, and it is not the capital of the Han Dynasty, if there is an accident for the lord in the future, why can't the successor be moved?
If the eldest prince is really worried about the situation in Yecheng and the lord's serious illness, I am willing to go again and contact Guo Tu for the eldest prince. In this way, if the lord has any explanation, Guo Tu can fight for the eldest prince in Yecheng, and the eldest prince does not have to take risks in person.
Although there are many Hebei civil and military people in Yecheng, Tian Feng has been alienated by the lord again due to the mistake of making a mistake in the battle of Dong'e. The trial is just to help Tian Feng save his life. And the trial of myself, although he was deeply trusted by the lord before, this time he ran for Tian Feng, and he also angered the lord a little. In this way, now only Guo Tu is the most talkative by the side of the lord.
If the lord can finally hand over the authority to the eldest prince, we only need to ask Guo Tu to bring out the final secret order, and then the eldest prince will directly rebuild the shogunate in Linzi! If it doesn't work out, the lord really chooses the third son. The eldest prince can also resist Cao alone in the green and secluded land, only saying that he will not be subject to the life of the monarch outside, and he cannot hand over power at will in wartime and put his ancestors' foundation in danger. ”
Yuan Tan listened to Xin Bi's words, and suddenly became enlightened.
Indeed, it is too dangerous to go to Yecheng in person at this juncture, and it is easy to be attacked by the Hebei faction.
Yecheng is not the national capital! The Shogunate can be migrated! Let Guo Tu help him do those dangerous things, wouldn't it be good to be behind the scenes. In this way, he can get all of his father's inheritance, and he can keep Qingyou Erzhou if he can't do it.
"George's brilliant plan! Then you can go back to Yecheng again, discuss our latest plan carefully with Mr. Guo, and see what countermeasures Mr. Guo has. By the way, you bring more heavy gifts with you, prepare 50 catties of gold for Mr. Guo first, and try to raise other jewels and gems! Be sure to let Mr. Guo know my sincerity! Yuan Tan finally said so.
Xin Bi received the order, but he didn't dare to refuse, and turned on the switchback mode again.
In particular, Cao Cao had already hit Hejian County at this time, cutting off the central and southern regions of Jizhou from it.
Xinbi's last two round-trips have had to go around a big circle to the north, from Yijing/Yishui, which is already close to Youzhou, and the speed has been greatly slowed down, which takes more than half a month for each trip.
The first time he returned to Qingzhou was at the end of May, and when he was ordered by Yuan Tan to contact Guo Tu and come back again, it was already early July.
Yuan Shaojun's situation on the battlefield was getting worse and worse, and Yuan Shao's illness was getting worse and worse.
And the advice that Xin Bi brought back to Yuan Tan this time is like this:
"The eldest prince, Mr. Guo has thanked the eldest prince for his generous gift, and he said that he will fight for you in front of the lord. He also suggested to the lord that now that the Cao army is becoming more and more rampant, Jizhou is about to be beaten by the Cao army, so he asked the eldest prince to praise the defense of Bohai County in Jizhou, and allocate the defenders of Nanpi City to the jurisdiction of the eldest prince, so as to prevent the Cao army from expanding its results to the east.
Mr. Guo is also deeply concerned about the eldest prince, who believes that the eldest prince is now authorized by the lord to defend the two states of Qingdao and You, but the two states of Qingyou do not border on land, and can only rely on sea ships to protect and communicate with each other.
If the Bohai County in Jizhou is assigned to the eldest prince, the Bohai coast will be connected and may be able to resist the division and attack of Cao's army. ”
Yuan Tan immediately asked people to bring the map, looked at it carefully, and felt that Guo Tu and Xin Bi's idea was reasonable.
Those who have played the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" series of games know that Jizhou can be called a stronghold of a dangerous city, that is, a Yecheng in the west and a Nanpi in the east. A large area of the Hebei Plain in the middle is not safe to defend.
Cao Cao's breakthrough in the center and his northward march are tantamount to dividing Jizhou into east and west. Yuan Shao was in the west of Jizhou, and it was impossible to quickly control the east.
When Yuan Shao fell out with Dong Zhuo and escaped from Luoyang, the first official position he received was Bohai Taishou. Bohai County is also the most populous county in Jizhou, and Yuan Shao's attention to Bohai County is obvious.
In this case, Guo Tu advised Yuan Shao to stop entangled in the original power structure of the state border, and allocate the coastal strip cut by Cao Cao in the east to his eldest son for temporary jurisdiction, and it was logical for Yuan Shao to accept it.
After all, they are all their own sons, and it is much better to give them to their sons than to Cao Cao.
However, Yuan Tan was a little unconfident after being hit by this stage of the pie.
It's good to be able to receive his father's inheritance, but this territory has just been cut off by Cao Cao, what if Cao Cao turns his head east along Yishui after chiseling through Jizhou?
Yuan Tan couldn't help but touch his beard and said, "Although Mr. Guo has good intentions, there is only one Nanpi in Bohai County, which is considered solid, and the rest are coastal plains. Cao Jun's soldiers are sharp, I'm afraid it's not easy to resist, do you want to cage the city to defend it? Does Mr. Guo have a strategy to teach me, how to resist Cao Cao? ”
Xin Bi was also a little speechless when he heard this question, if Guo Tu could know how to win Cao Cao, would he still have to act like he is now?
Asking an infighting expert how to fight outside the world is not asking about blindness.
However, Xin Bi also knew that the matter was urgent, and it was impossible for Yuan Tan to confront Guo Tu face to face, so Xin Bi said cryptically: "I also talked to Gong Ze about this concern, and we both felt ...... Maybe the eldest prince has to be in a hurry to obey the power, ask Liu Bei for help, and promise Liu Bei some benefits. The matter is urgent, and it is impossible to consult the lord for this kind of thing. ”
Yuan Tan nodded, feeling that there was indeed no other way to choose, so he readily agreed: "Then it's hard to go to George again, you are good at making envoys." It's up to you to go to Xuzhou again and ask Guan Yu for help first.
If Guan Yu can't manage things, he will have to go to Danyang to find Zhuge Jin, and no matter how bad it is, he can only go to Wuchang, and he must hurry as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to keep Bohai. ”
"Subordinates obey!"
After Xinbi received the order, he turned on the switchback running mode again, and set off from Linzi on the same day.
He did not dare to go around the Shandong Peninsula directly by boat, for fear that the distance would be too far and delay the time, but rode a fast horse to cross the Shandong Peninsula from north to south, and then went to sea from Zhuxian County, and walked a little sea route to bypass the Yimeng Mountains.
To Xuzhou Donghai County Qu County (Lianyungang) on the shore quickly, after the North Jiangsu Plain all the way to the horse.
Looking for Guan Yu first, Guan Yu really didn't care, saying that he only acted on the orders of the general of the chariot cavalry. Liu Bei didn't let him send troops, even if it was a friendly army, he couldn't save it.
Xin Bi went south again, crossed the Jianghuai River and went straight to Danyang Moling, to plead with Zhuge Jin.
