Yecheng.

After Yuan Shao came back, he was in high spirits for a while, sending people to forge weapons, hoard grain and grass and train soldiers, preparing to fight Cao Cao again and bring back the defeat of Guandu.

However, after the enthusiasm, Yuan Shao fell silent again.

Maybe he couldn't think of it, even Cao Cao couldn't beat him, and then he heard people outside talking about him.

The content of the discussion is probably that he Yuan Shao is not as good as Cao Cao, and the background of the fourth and third princes is nothing more than that, and so on.

After listening too much, Yuan Shao was easily depressed.

At the beginning, he could kill a few more people to deter those who were talking nonsense, but in the end, his whole body was numb, and no matter what they talked about, there was no wave in his heart.

Yuan Shao was distraught and didn't care about political affairs, but he asked Yuan Tan, Gao Gan and others to go back to their own territory to defend, prepare military rations, and then hand over all the affairs to his son Yuan Shang to deal with.

However, in Yuan Shao's heart, he still wanted to fight Cao Cao again, but he was depressed, and while letting people prepare food and weapons, he was so depressed that he couldn't lift his spirits.

Once a person becomes depressed, just like Yuan Shao, all thoughts are discouraged, and he doesn't feel anything.

Yuan Shang was in charge of Jizhou affairs, and his mother Liu was deeply loved by Yuan Shao.

At this time, the Liu family saw that his son was in power, so he had a special thought.

Normally, Yuan Shao's heir is the eldest son Yuan Tancai.

However, it is Yuan Tan's turn to operate normally, there are normal ones, and of course there are abnormal ones.

Liu proposed to make his son Yuan Shang the heir and the heir of the Yuan family, and kicked Yuan Tan away.

Yuan Shao pampered Liu, hesitated and had the idea of agreeing, but he was not sure, so he brought them to discuss and asked what should be done.

"The lord, the eldest son is the elder, and now he lives outside, he governs Qingzhou in a good way, and he has made many meritorious contributions, and the army and the people are served."

"If the lord is abolished, I'm afraid it will be chaotic!"

The first to object was Guo Tu, who and another strategist named Xin Ping were more inclined to Yuan Tan.

As for the two of them, they are more inclined to Yuan Shang.

Under Yuan Shao's command, there are many factions.

Now that Tian Feng is gone, there are different teams standing on each other's inside, and those people on different teams have different contradictions, and the struggle is thus formed.

"That's a mistake!"

After hearing this, he confronted Guo Tu and retorted: "Although the eldest son's ability is good, he is just right to kill for human nature, and he is not a human master!" The third son has the appearance of a hero, is virtuous and respectful, and is more suitable for being an heir. ”

Feng Ji echoed: "The third prince, he is most like the lord!" ”

Yuan Shao was not angry at the judge's comment on his eldest son, because Yuan Tan was like this.

However, after listening to Feng Ji's words, Yuan Shao's eyes narrowed, and this sentence entered his heart.

He prefers Yuan Shang, mainly because Yuan Shang is very similar to himself and as handsome as himself.

He is also more inclined to Yuan Shang and dislikes Yuan Tan.

What is entangled in my heart is the question of growing up and young.

I don't know if I should abolish the long and young.

Xin Ping heard that Feng Ji was so shameless, and he actually used Yuan Shang as a reason that Yuan Shang was more like Yuan Shao, which really touched Yuan Shao's heart, and when he was about to refute again, Yuan Shang hurriedly ran in.

"Father, it's not good!"

"Cao Cao led his troops, smuggled across the Yellow River from Cangtingjin, and called our Wei County!"

Yuan Shang came in and said eagerly.

They were defeated by Cao Cao only last year, and it has not been a year yet.

Cao Cao killed again so quickly, and now the whole army of Yuan Jun has a certain fear of Cao Cao, and when he learned that Cao Cao was calling, he had a feeling of not daring to fight.

"What?"

"That hateful Cao Apu, he's looking for death!"

Yuan Shao took the case and said angrily: "Pass my order, gather the three armies, I want to avenge last year!" ”

Hearing Cao Cao calling, his depression was temporarily put aside.

While being a little in awe of Cao Cao, he was also excited, he must have Cao Cao to look good, which made Cao Cao regret it

Just as he was giving the order, a soldier walked in and whispered two words in Guo Tu's ear.

Guo Tu immediately said: "The lord, the scout of the eldest son, found out about Cao Cao's movements in advance, and now he has led the Qingzhou soldiers to transport grain and grass south, and is ready to assist the lord to destroy Cao Cao!" ”

Saying that, he was thinking in his heart, Yuan Tan came in time, just when Yuan Shao needed it the most, and he could brush up his favor.

Yuan Shang had already had the idea of seizing the heir, and when he heard this, his eyes rolled, how could he let his eldest brother take the lead, and said loudly: "Father, I am willing to go out with the army to help my father destroy Cao Cao and wash away our humiliation last year!" ”

When Feng Ji and the two saw it, they smiled slightly, thinking that the third prince was not confused, and knew how to fight back.

At present, the great enemy will still fight for the sake of interests.

"Good!"

Yuan Shao saw that his sons were so active, so the father and son were of the same mind, killed Cao Apu, and shouted: "Send someone to contact Xiansi immediately and send troops to Cangting together!" ”

Last year's war made Yuan Shao lose his troops and generals, but the four northern states have vast areas and large populations.

Yuan Shao wants to recruit troops and grain again, and after last autumn's harvest, it is not difficult.

Soon the preparations were completed, and Yuan Shao personally led the troops to Cangting.

This is the scene when Cao Cao just crossed the river and found Yuan Shao's army, fifty miles away from Cangting.

——

Kura-tei.

Cao's army crossed the river in an all-round way.

According to the news of the scouts, the Yuan army at this time was less than twenty miles away from them.

Yuan Shao was anxious to take revenge, so as to prove to the princes of the world that he was not inferior to Cao Cao, and he didn't even care about depression.

Cao Cao is not in a hurry, he plans to make steady progress, and this time he is well prepared and can fight with Yuan Shao slowly.

It's just that Yuan Shao just came and took the initiative to fight, and Chen soldiers were deployed in front of Cao Cao's army.

In the past six months, Yuan Shao's weapons have also been updated.

They recruited northern blacksmiths to study and improve the forging technology, which had a certain effect.

Coupled with Yuan's huge financial resources, it is not a problem to update all the weapons in a short period of time, Yuan Shao thinks that he can compete with Cao Cao, and he still has confidence in the battle.

"Yuan Shao, I'm in a hurry!"

Cao Cao got the news of the battle, and laughed: "But he is in a hurry, the more anxious he is, the easier it is to show his flaws, pass on my order, and the whole army will face the battle!" ”

Cao Jun came out of the camp and confronted Yuan Jun.

When Cao Cao came to the front of the battle, he could see Yuan Shao's father and son, plus a nephew, and other civil and military officers were there, and said loudly: "Yuan Benchu, you have exhausted your efforts, why don't you surrender?" When my knife falls on your neck, it's too late to regret it! ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he said angrily: "Who can go to war and boost the morale of our army?" ”

"I'm coming!"

Yuan Shang wanted to show his ability in front of his father, so as to show his ability, listened to Yuan Shao's words, raised his sword and rode his horse out of battle, walked back and forth, and provoked the soldiers of the Cao army, and there was a feeling that he could single-handedly challenge all the generals in the Cao camp.

"In Cao Ying, who dares to fight!"

Yuan Shang shouted.

Yuan Tan originally wanted to go out, but when he saw Yuan Shang taking the lead, he could only secretly cry out for pity and helplessly wait for the next opportunity.

In fact, he could feel that Yuan Shang wanted to fight with himself.

Yuan Shang wants to fight, which does not mean that he is indifferent.

They all wanted to show their bravery and ability in front of Yuan Shao and gain the advantage of winning the heir.
