Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1685 Really Heartless
Chapter 1683: Truly Heartless
It took Kublai Khan only one month in total from leaving Luoyang, to returning to Longcheng, and then to being crowned emperor.

It is hard to believe that the birth of an emperor of a great country was so hasty and urgent, and Kublai Khan undoubtedly set a precedent.

During the month when Yuanmeng was in turmoil and Kublai Khan hurriedly succeeded to the throne, many major events also happened in the Central Plains, the most important of which was the Yecheng War.

On Yecheng's side, Bai Qi finally launched the final general attack. In order to resist Bai Qi's offensive, Han Xin originally planned to concentrate his strength to defend Yecheng, but he did not expect to be hindered by Yuan Shao's sons.

Before Yuan Shao died, he sent Tian Feng, Xun Kan and others to send the three sons of Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang away from Bohai, accompanied by Tan Taiyu who was seriously injured.

Not long after the third sons of the Yuan family arrived in Yecheng, they received the news that Bohai City had been breached, their father Yuan Shao committed suicide, and the guardian of the family, Yuan Shoucheng, was also killed in battle. This made the third sons of the Yuan family feel that the sky was about to collapse.

Yuan Shao, the king of Zhao, slayed himself, the capital of Bohai fell, and only a few cities such as Yecheng remained in the country.

But the key point is that although Zhao's territory has basically fallen, there are still nearly [-] troops in Yecheng.

In the Battle of Hebei, Yan, Han, Zhao, Liao, and Qi, among the five-nation alliance, Zhao State contributed the most, mobilizing a total of nearly 25 troops, accounting for almost half of the five-nation alliance.

In the three battles of Hebei, Julu, and Bohai, even if the Zhao army lost more than 15 main forces, there are still [-] troops in Yecheng.

Of course, in the battle with Bai Qi, the casualties of the [-] Zhao troops were not small, and there are only nearly [-] left.

A full [-] main army is not a small number. As long as the Qin army can be repelled, with this [-] army, Zhao Guo still has the power to restore the country. How can Yuan Shao's three sons not be moved by this? .

Yuan Shao's three sons, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang, none of them are easy-going lamps, and the abilities of the three are not very outstanding, but their ambitions are bigger than the other.

In the original history, Yuan Shao lost two battles in a row at Guandu and Cangting. Although the heritage of Hebei was wiped out, the land of Hebei did not lose much.

After Yuan Shao died, if the three brothers of the Yuan family could work together, they might not be able to stop Cao Cao, but how did the three sons of the Yuan family do it?Not only did they not unite together to speak out, but the brothers fought non-stop.

If this happened to someone else, he would definitely rather help his own brother than take advantage of his enemy.

But the Yuan family brothers were just the opposite. They would rather take advantage of Cao Cao, an outsider, than help their own blood brothers. In the end, Cao Cao, an outsider, easily occupied Hebei.

How much hatred and hatred is this!

It can also be seen from this that the contradictions between the three Yuan family brothers are so deep that they can even ignore the kinship.

The situation in this life is not much different. After Yuan Shao committed suicide and died, even with the threat of the Qin army, the three brothers of the Yuan family still kept fighting for the throne, and this made Han Xin very anxious.

The 21 Qin army is just outside the city, and the city of Ye is already on the verge of collapse. At this critical moment, your three brothers from the Yuan family are still fighting among themselves.
While Han Xin scolded the three brothers of the Yuan family, he couldn't help complaining about Yuan Shaolai, why didn't he establish a son early so as to stop the other two sons from thinking about it, so that the three sons killed each other in order to seize the throne .

At present, there are still 15 Han-Zhao coalition forces in total, while there are 11 defenders in Yecheng, of which Zhao Jun accounts for another [-], more than half of the total number of defenders in Yecheng.

Therefore, if the Yuan family brothers are allowed to fight among themselves, they may end up fighting each other, which will only benefit the Qin army.

As the chief general of the Han-Zhao coalition army, Han Xin naturally couldn't let it go, so he contacted Yuan Hong, Tian Feng, Xun Kan and other generals, and planned to elect the eldest son Yuan Tan as the new King of Zhao.

Yuan Tan is the eldest son of Yuan Shao, although he is not favored by Yuan Shao, he is the eldest brother of the three brothers after all, if he succeeds him, at least most people will be convinced.

Therefore, with the support of Han Xin, Yuan Tan succeeded to the throne and became the new king of Zhao.

Han Xin originally thought that Yuan Tan had succeeded to the throne, and the two brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi would at least calm down, but he far underestimated the conflicts between the three brothers and the awareness of the two brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi.

Even if the eldest brother Yuan Tan has already sat on the throne of Zhao Wang, the two brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi still want to bring down the eldest brother. Assassination and mutiny are considered tricks, and they even did not hesitate to collude with Qin Jun, who has the hatred of killing his father.

bump……

After listening to his subordinates' report, Han Xin angrily smashed the teacup in his hand and cursed, "You bastard."

Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi thought they were doing a secret, but they didn't know that all their actions were under Han Xin's nose. With Han Xin sitting in Yecheng, the two of them were doomed to fail.

However, Han Xin really couldn't figure out what kind of enmity there was between their brothers. It really opened his eyes to him to hate his own brother so much!

"Brother, have you informed Yuan Tan of this matter?" Han Yu asked with a frown.

After some thought, Han Xin said, "You can't tell Yuan Tan. If he knows, the situation will be even worse."

"What should I do?"

Hearing this, Han Xin frowned.

Now the brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, because they are not sitting on the position of King Zhao, are jealous, and the current situation of the coalition forces is getting worse and worse, they have already given birth to the plan to surrender to the Qin army.

It is easy for Han Xin to suppress the two brothers, but the difficulty lies in how not to affect the army of the two brothers after the suppression. After all, the Qin army outside the city is the real enemy.

Just when Han Xin was in a dilemma, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the military adviser Jushou, and said: "Master, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi already have the intention to surrender to Qin, maybe we can make use of it."

Han Xin's eyes suddenly brightened: "The military division means..."

Although Han Xin's words were only halfway through, he obviously understood Ju Shou's intentions, but after a moment of contemplation, he frowned and said, "With Bai Qi's degree of caution, even if this method can hit the Qin army, it is impossible to seriously injure the Qin army. , the crisis in Hebei is still unsolved."

"My lord, as far as the current situation is concerned, the current strength of the Hebei princes alone is not enough to protect themselves. It is impossible to defeat the Qin army."

Jushou's eyes were full of wisdom, and he said in a deep voice: "Now that the Southern Han Dynasty has fought against the Qin army on the whole front, the Qin army's southern line is already in a hurry, but this alone is still not enough to make the Qin army withdraw its troops.

Qin Jun's determination to occupy Hebei is extremely firm, and Yecheng will probably be breached sooner or later. What the Lord should consider is not to defend to the death, but to find a way to preserve his strength. "
