Back to the Three Kingdoms

Everyone looked at Chen Lang and waited for his instructions. Chen Lang said: "According to the original plan." Then he said to Gan Ning: "Xingba, the Huguan matter is left to you. Although it is a suspicious soldier, you have to be extra careful." Gan Ning clasped his fist and said, "Big brother though. Don't worry! Foolproof!"

It is said that Yuan Shang, the youngest son of Yuan Shao, led an army of 300,000 troops near Handan and was at odds with the army led by Cao Cao himself. Yuan Shang adopted the strategy of reviewing the allocation, using the favorable terrain to defend with strong walls, and at the same time, from time to time, the Titans led the light cavalry to raid Cao Junliang Road, which made Cao Jun overwhelmed and was unable to concentrate on attacking Yuan Jun's line of defense. It has been many days since Cao Jun launched the attack, and the losses are not small, but he has never made any progress.

At this moment, both Cao and Yuan received the news that Chen Lang led his army to appear at Huguan, and they couldn't help being suspicious and stopped fighting for the time being. Huguan, the most important pass in the Taihang Mountains, is a battleground for military strategists, just tens of miles away in Handan. In other words, the Qin army has come to the flanks of the battlefield between Cao and Yuan.

Yuan Shang was worried about being attacked by Chen Lang on the flanks. While dispatching troops and generals, he dispatched flying cavalry from Jizhou for reinforcements. However, Cao Jun, who had attacked the reinforcement defense line, retreated to Wei County, south of Handan. Yuan Shang was a little relieved when he found out the news. However, the interrogation did not dare to be careless and sent a large number of scouts to investigate Cao Cao's every move.

Soon after, news came, but it was good news for Yuan Shang and others. It turned out that Cao Cao not only retreated from Jizhou, but also the army that attacked Qingzhou. According to rumors, it was the Yellow Turban Remaining Party in Yanzhou who caused the chaos, and the situation was critical, so Cao Cao had to stop attacking the class and return to calm the chaos.

Yuan Shang sighed for a long time, with a relaxed smile on his opponents: "Cao Thief is finally gone!"

Everyone immediately flattered, and some people exclaimed: "Cao Thief is afraid of the might of the lord, so he ran away in embarrassment!" Yuan Shang laughed, seemingly happy. Why did that person call Yuan Shang the lord? It turned out that Yuan Shao had passed him the lordship when he was about to die, and Yuan Shang is now the general manager of the three states, General Pingbei, who is also the master of the three states of Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou.

But the prosecution clasped his fists and said, "Lord, that Cao Cao has always been treacherous. I am afraid that this yellow-turbaned Yu Dang's messy talk is unbelievable!" Yuan Shang felt that the prosecution made sense, nodded, and said: "The army continues to be on guard. Give Cao Cao any chance to take advantage of it!" The trial partner clasped his fist and said: "The lord is wise!" Then he said: "The lord, and the Chen Lang, he has led his army to appear at Huguan, so you can't help but prevent this!"

Yuan Shang waved his hand indifferently and said, "He has only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which is not enough."

The war that originally took place in Qingzhou, Jizhou stopped, and the people who were originally worried could not help but breathe a bit of relief, and only hope that the war will end and the world will be peaceful.

Yuan Shang led the army to stay on guard in Handan for a few days. The scouts heard news that Cao Cao had indeed led the army back to Yanzhou. At present, only General Xiahouyuan was left to guard Weijun. The army that attacked Qingzhou has also returned to Yanzhou. Godly guarding Xiapi, Cao Jun's offensive has completely stopped.

Soon after, Yuan Shang received the news that Chen Lang, who had originally arrived at Huguan, had also led his army back to Luoyang. At the same time, Chen Lang's messengers had come outside the city and asked to see Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang was very pleased. He looked at the mate on the side and asked: "What is the matter with the envoy Chen Lang sent?"

The trial partner laughed mockingly and said: "Then Chen Lang originally wanted to take advantage of our fight with Cao Cao. In his current situation, it is difficult to mobilize the army to plot the north. However, he did not expect that Cao Cao would be due to the Yanzhou civil strife. Suddenly stop the offensive army and return, and the opportunity has been lost. In this case, does Chen Lang have to face our army alone? In the current situation of Chen Lang, I am afraid that we will lose the entire Bingzhou, so in order to solve this crisis , So I had to send an envoy to ask for peace!"

Yuan Shang snorted and said loudly: "Do you want me to spare him? There are no doors!"

The interrogation hurriedly said: "The lord calms down his anger! Our immediate priority is not these foreign places!"

Yuan Shang was taken aback.

The trial partner clasped his fist and said: "As the saying goes, you must settle down first when you get rid of foreigners! Although the lord has inherited the mantle of the old lord, Yuan Tan relied on his status as the eldest son and has been dissatisfied with the lord's succession to the throne! Yuan Tan Sitting on Qingzhou, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, with the assistance of Xin Ping Guo Tu and others. If it is not removed as soon as possible, it will be a major disaster in the future."

Yuan Shang couldn't help but nodded.

The trial partner clasped his fist and said: "Cao Cao can't take care of himself. Since Chen Lang is unwilling to be my enemy, why not take this opportunity to appease Chen Lang's side, so as to relieve our worries, so that we can free our hands to solve Yuan Tan first. Only then will I go to compete with the crowds of heroes in the world!"

auzw.com Yuan Shang laughed and praised: "Zhengnan said it well!"

At this moment, an army officer rushed in to report: "Master, Lord Yuan Tan sent an envoy to ask for money and food!" Yuan Shang was furious and shouted: "I asked him to transfer troops to rescue Handan, but he dodged several times. Now I want money and food, no!"

The judge hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Master, this is a great opportunity!"

Qingzhou, inside the governor's mansion. Yuan Tangao took the lead, and the envoy sent to send the envoy to Yuan Shang came back. He reported with joy: "Enlighten the lord, as soon as he heard that the lord was short of money and food, he immediately sent people to transport 500,000 dan of grains and grass and 100 Ten thousand yuan! Now the transportation team is on the way and will arrive in Qingzhou in three days!"

Yuan Tan was greatly surprised, and his opponent said: "Yuan Shang has always been narrow-minded, and has never been at peace with me. In addition, I have already offended him by refusing to send troops to rescue Handan. How can he ignore the suspicion? This is really a big surprise. My expectation!"

Xin Ping clasped his fist and said, "Master, I'm afraid there is fraud in this!"

Yuan Tan frowned and asked incomprehensibly: "What do you mean, sir?"

Xin Ping sneered and said: "This is clearly the plan of'Mingxiu plank road to secretly cross Chen Cang'!" Then he fisted towards Yuan Tan and said: "The lord wants to reconcile with the three sons, but the other party wants to harm the lord!" Yuan Tan was frightened! Jump, and hurriedly asked: "Where do you start?"

Xin commented: "Just as the lord had hoped, the third son is narrow-minded, how can he suddenly become so big-bellied? I dare to assert that these money and food are blindfolds, in fact, it is to cover a good soldier who wants to take Qingzhou in one fell swoop!" Yuan Tan's complexion changed drastically. Xin Ping continued: "Now Cao Cao has retired due to the internal strife, and Chen Lang originally intended to take advantage of the fire. As soon as Cao Cao retired, he also retired. For the third son, now that the external troubles are gone, it is to solve the internal problems. It's time for the question." Then he slapped Yuan Tan and said: "The third son is always jealous of the lord, he must take this opportunity to destroy the lord!"

Yuan Tan was furious, and cursed: "What a wolf-hearted thing! My father's death is unclear, and he actually wants to harm me! Since he is unkind, he should not blame me for being unrighteous!"

It is said that the senior leaders led 50,000 elite soldiers disguised as a team of money and food all the way to the bottom of Qingzhou City, shouting to open the door. At this moment, the sound of war drums on the city wall rang loudly, crowds from all directions surged with flags like clouds, and more than one hundred thousand Qingzhou army shouted and wrapped them up. Before the senior cadres and others could react, a dense rain of arrows flew down, and the senior cadres died and wounded countless. Gao Gan was panicked and shouted loudly: "Quick retreat! Quick retreat!!" The Qingzhou army has entered the high cadres from all directions, rushing into the land of no one! The high-ranking officials were caught off guard, they were in a mess, and they ran backwards one after another! ……. By the evening of the battle, the Qingzhou army fought for more than ten miles, and the high-ranking army corpses countless wolves rushing forward.

Yuan Tan received the army to clean the battlefield and returned to Qingzhou. That night, Yuan Tan lined up to banquet to reward the soldiers of the three armies, and the city of Qingzhou thunderously cheered.

The senior cadres were defeated and led the remnants of the defeated general to escape the Yellow River, just to rush to Yuan Shang, who was followed up by the rising army. Yuan Shang was shocked to see the senior cadres so embarrassed, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Did you fail?"

The senior cadres were shocked and reported: "Then Yuan Tan had already set up an ambush in all directions under Qingzhou City. As soon as our army arrived, they would fight out in all directions! Our army was caught off guard. Although fighting desperately, it was ultimately defeated and retreated. !"

The prosecutor was unwilling to admit that he had made a mistake in his strategy, and quickly said: "It must be that Yuan Tan has long been intent on murdering the lord, so he set up an ambush under Qinzhou City early!"

Yuan Shang was furious and yelled: "I'm so resistant to things, it turns out that I had a desire to murder me! I will not forgive him!" Then he shouted at the generals: "Send the three armies to cross the Yellow River at full speed!"

Yuan Shangqin led hundreds of thousands of troops to cross the Yellow River east, and attacked the four counties of Dongping, Jinan, Taishan, and Le'an in four ways. The offensive was as fierce as the sea. Yuan Tanjun couldn't resist, and the four counties fell one after another. Yuan Tan listened to Xin Ping's suggestion, searched for troops in Qingzhou, and prepared to fight against Yuan Shang's army by virtue of Qingzhou's strong city defense.

Soon after, Yuan Shang's army surrounded Qingzhou, and Yuan Shangling led Yuan Xi to attack the city first. I want to explain here that although Yuan Xi was also one of the three Yuan brothers, he accepted Yuan Shang's succession to the throne, so he led his Youzhou soldiers to help Yuan Shang. To show his loyalty to Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi left all his family members in Jizhou. Yuan Shang was in Jizhou, the strength was originally the first of the three brothers, and Yuan Xi's allegiance, the strength is not comparable to Yuan Tan. If there is no external interference, the outcome of this brotherhood battle is actually doomed.

Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's army besieged Qingzhou for many days, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. However, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's army could not break Qinzhou City.

That night, the exhausted Yuan Xijun stopped the attack and returned to the camp.

In the big tent, General Yuan Xi’s general Jiao Zhen clasped his fists in indignation and said: "The son, the third son is clearly using us to consume the Qingzhou army! For so many days, his troops have not moved at all, but our army has suffered heavy losses. ! If this continues, Qingzhou will be defeated, and our Youzhou Army will not have much left!"
