When others listened to it, there were few people who felt sorry for it, Yuan Shao couldn't make a sound, and nodded in pain.Every time he wrote his will before his bed.Yuan Shao turned over and yelled, he vomited blood again and died.After Yuan Shao died, Feng Ji, Xun Chen and others presided over the funeral.Mrs. Liu killed all five of Yuan Shao's beloved concubines, and feared that their ghosts would meet Yuan Shao again under the nine springs. All scary.Yuan Shang feared that the concubine's family members would be harmed, so he took them in and killed them.In Fengji, Yuan Shang was appointed General Sima, leading Ji, Qing, You, and Sanzhou as herdsmen, and sent envoys to report the funeral.

At this time, because Cao Cao's army was under pressure, Yuan Shang urgently reported to Qingzhou and Youzhou, and ordered his two elder brothers, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, to come to the rescue.It is said that Yuan Tan found out that his father was dead in Qingzhou, and there was no sadness on his face. Instead, with strong resentment, he approached Guo Tu and Xin Ping to discuss.

"My father doted on the third younger brother all his life, but now he really abolishes the elder and makes the younger one stand. I really don't feel angry!"

Guo Tu was beside him, his eyes glistened, and he said coldly.

"The lord is dead, then Fengji and Xunchen are in power in Jizhou, and Yuan Shang must be appointed as the master. Hurry up."

Xin Ping looked dignified, and then seconded.

"Feng Ji and Xun Chen are treacherous and cunning, and they must plan their plans. If they go rashly and quickly now, they will suffer disaster."

After hearing this, Yuan Tan didn't realize that his expression was getting darker, so he asked hastily.

"What should I do then?"

Guo Tu pondered for a while, then said.

"The general can set up troops outside the city and watch its movements. Somebody should go and observe it in person, and enter Jizhou to see how things are going."

According to Yuan Tan's words, he sent Guo Tu into Jizhou to meet Yuan Shang.Guo Tu went on a trip that day and arrived, and was received by Yuan Shang.After the ceremony between the two, Yuan Shang didn't see Yuan Tan, so he asked very displeased.

"Why don't you see your brother rushing over?"

Guo Tuse said without changing his heartbeat.

"Xiansi was mentally traumatized by the bad news of his lord. He was ill and was in the army, so he couldn't see each other."

Yuan Shang frowned, and silently slandered in his heart.

"I'm afraid that my elder brother doesn't want to obey my father's last order, and I'm afraid that I will harm him in Jizhou, so I don't see you."

However, Yuan Shang quickly came back to his senses, and said with a smile on his face.

"I was ordered by my father to appoint me as the master, and my elder brother as the general of chariots and cavalry. Now that the Cao army is suppressing the country, I ask my elder brother to be the front, and I will send troops to respond later. The enemy is now, I hope that my elder brother will be in mourning, and my brother Let's join hands and repel the Cao bandits together."

Guo Tu snorted, Yuan Shang was still old in front of him, Guo Tu could tell what was going on in his heart just by looking at the change in his expression.Guo Tu first held his hand in humility and saluted, that is to say.

"Naturally. However, no one in the army is discussing good strategies. I have little talent and learning, and I hope to beg Feng Yuantu and Xun Youruo as assistants."

When Yuan Shang heard this, his complexion changed drastically. Feng Ji and Xun Chen were like his left and right arms at this time, they must never be missing, and he immediately shook his head and shouted.

"I also want to rely on these two people to draw a plan sooner or later, how to get away!"

Guo Tu pressed tightly, and said again.

"How about sending one out of the two?"

Yuan Shang had no other choice, and at the moment he did not dare to quarrel with his brother, so he had to ask Xun Chen to cast lots between the two of them, and the winner would go.When Feng Ji wrote it, Yuan Shang ordered Feng Ji to take Yinshou and go to Yuan Tan's army with Guo Tu.Feng Ji knew that this trip would be more dangerous than good, but now Yuan Shang is the king after all, and the king's order cannot be violated.Feng Ji felt uneasy and offered his seal and ribbon.Yuan Tan's eyes widened, and he jumped into a rage. He grabbed the seal ribbon and smashed it on the ground, wanting to kill Fengji.

Guo Tu hurriedly stopped him, and said in a low voice beside him.

"Cao's army is under pressure now, and only money is left here for peace and peace of mind. After defeating Cao, it will not be too late to fight for Jizhou."

After hearing this, Yuan Tan calmed down a little and followed Guo Tu's words.Immediately pull out the stronghold and set off to Liyang to meet Cao Jun.Yuan Tan sent General Wang Zhao to fight, and Cao Cao sent General Dian Wei to meet the enemy.The two generals fought several rounds, and Dian Wei stabbed Wang Zhao under his horse with a halberd.Cao Jun took advantage of the situation to cover up the attack, and Tan Jun was defeated.Yuan Tan collected the defeated army and entered Liyang, and sent people to Yuan Shang for help.Yuan Shang discussed with Xun Chen, and Xun Chen persuaded him, but he sent more soldiers to rescue him.But at present Yuan Shang does not have many troops, and he is afraid that the army will be defeated and the general situation will be lost.Therefore, only more than [-] troops were sent to help.Cao Jun's scouts found out that Yuan Shang's reinforcements were coming, but they also knew that there were only [-] troops.Cao Cao knew in his heart that the two brothers must have their own ghosts, and he knew that they were thinking about it. At the same time, he sent Le Jin and Li Dian to lead troops to follow them halfway, surrounded them at both ends and killed them all.

Yuan Tan knew that Yuan Shang stopped sending [-] soldiers to rescue him, and was murdered halfway. He was furious, so he called Fengji to scold him.Fearing that Yuan Tan would kill him angrily, Feng Ji hurriedly complained.

"Rong wrote a letter to the lord, begging him to come and save him personally."

Yuan Tan immediately ordered Fengji to write a book and sent people to Jizhou to Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang discussed with Xun Chen.Xun Chen persuaded Yuan Shang again to send heavy troops to rescue him.Unexpectedly, Yuan Shang knew it in his heart, but he was very prepared for Yuan Tan.

"My brother does not want to obey my father's will, and wants to take my position. He also has Guo Tu and Xin Ping as his assistants. If Cao Cao is defeated today, he will surely come to fight for Jizhou. It is better not to send reinforcements, but to use Cao Cao's strength to fight for Jizhou. Except."

Xun Chen's demeanor changed after hearing the words, and he spoke harshly and quickly remonstrated.

"Absolutely not! Cao Cao is very powerful, and the three of you, the lord and the brothers, don't even know that you can protect yourself. If the brothers fight again, the first lord's family property will definitely not be preserved!"

"Presumptuous!! My elder brother disobeyed his father's order and wanted to seize the position by force. He is unkind first! How can you blame me for being unrighteous!"

Yuan Shang shouted angrily, insisting on this, Xun Chen's persuasion was useless, and Yuan Shang shouted back.Yuan Shang refused to send troops.The envoy reported that Yuan Tan was furious and immediately killed Fengji. Fortunately, Fengji received a secret letter from Xun Chen's people earlier, and first learned that Yuan Shang refused to send troops, so he fled overnight and ran to Cao Ying.

Fengji's strategy is not low, but he is cruel and ruthless. Cao Cao doesn't like him, but he accepts him for the time being, and makes Fengji a general of Zhonglang.Seeing that he was not treated as well as Xu You and the judge, Feng Ji was quite upset, but people nowadays had to bow their heads under the eaves, so Feng Ji had no choice but to bear it, so he pretended to be overjoyed and sent thanks.

When Yuan Tan saw that Yuan Shang did not send troops to rescue him, he was extremely angry. He even discussed with Guo Tu and Xin Ping that he wanted to surrender Cao.Fortunately, Yuan Shang is in Yuan Tan's army, and there is a careful work.Make a secret report to Yuan Shang.Yuan Shang was shocked, and quickly found Xun Chen to discuss.

"If Yuan Tan surrenders Cao, and the two attack together, Jizhou will surely be destroyed!"

Xun Chen sternly said, Yuan Shang knew the fact was so, how could he dare to be malicious again, he quickly left Xun Chen and General Su You to guard Jizhou, and led his own army to Liyang to rescue Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan was overjoyed when he heard that Yuan Shang had led the army in person, so he dismissed Cao's proposal to surrender.So Yuan Tan stationed troops in the city, and Yuan Shang stationed troops outside the city, forming a situation of Jujiao.In a different day, Yuan Xi and Gao Gan led their troops from Youzhou to the outside of the city, stationed troops in three places, and sent troops to confront Cao Jun every day.Yuan Shang was originally weak, so how can he be Cao Cao's powerful opponent, he has been defeated repeatedly, and Cao Jun has won repeatedly.

Cao Cao split his attack, and Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, and Gao Gan were all defeated, and they abandoned Liyang and left.Cao Cao led his troops to pursue to Jizhou, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang entered the city and stood firm, while Yuan Xi and Yu Licheng went to the village at [-] miles away, bluffing.

Cao cao's soldiers stormed the city for days on end, attacking and taking it hard, but they couldn't attack. The soldiers were all exhausted, so they came to Guo Jia for discussion.

Guo Jia remonstrated calmly.

"When the Yuan family abolishes the elders and establishes the younger ones, the brothers must not submit to each other. The power should be merged, and each should establish a party. If it is urgent, it will save each other, and if it is slow, it will fight. It is better for the master to retreat in detail and wait for the Yuan brothers to change. .It can be decided in one fell swoop.”

Cao Cao immediately followed Guo Jia's plan and appointed Cao Ren as the prefect to guard Liyang, while the army slowly retreated to Guandu.When Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang heard that Cao Jun had retreated, they congratulated each other.Seeing that Cao Jun had retreated, Yuan Xi and Gao Gan bid farewell to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and led the army back to Youzhou.

When Yuan Tan saw that Cao Jun was retreating and the adversity was gone, he felt no resentment immediately, and discussed with Guo Tu and Xin.

"I am the eldest, so I can't inherit my father's business. Yuan Shang was born of his stepmother, but he inherited the noble, and the elder listened to the young. I am really unwilling!!"

Guo Tu had already thought of a plan, and immediately came forward to report.

"Your lord, you can hold a banquet outside the city and invite Xianfu and Xun Chen to drink. After the two men are healed, they will rush forward with their knives and axes and hack them to death. This is a big event!"

"Hahaha. The military master's words are very good. Once these two people die, I can inherit my father's business and get back on track!"

After hearing this, Yuan Tan laughed loudly.Immediately follow Guo Tu's plan and make arrangements secretly.It happened that Wang Xiu came from Qingzhou, and Yuan Tan told him about the plan.Wang Xiu's demeanor changed after he heard the plan, and he repeatedly remonstrated.

"Brothers have both left and right hands. Now when you are fighting with others, if you cut off your right hand, Cao Cao is powerful, but retreat for now, and he will come back soon. How can you fight an evil tiger with one arm. If you abandon your brother and don't kiss, who else in the world will kiss you?" That Guo Gong is slandering people and separating flesh and blood in order to gain one's own advantage, the general must not be trusted!"

Yuan Tan was determined to get rid of Yuan Shang and seize the high position, but he listened to Wang Xiu's persuasion, he was furious on the spot, reprimanded Wang Xiu, and sent someone to invite Yuan Shang.But how could Yuan Shang not be wary of Yuan Tan?Now I am urgently looking for Xun Chen to discuss.Xun Chen thought for a while, his face changed drastically, and he said quickly.

"This must be Guo Tu's plan. If my lord goes there, I will be kidnapped!"

"Brother actually wants to kill me!!! His evil intentions are hard to get rid of, how can I sit and wait for death!"

Yuan Shang was so angry that he wanted to send troops to conquer Yuan Tan.Xun Chen quickly persuaded him, but Yuan Shang refused, put on his horse and led his troops out of the city.When Yuan Tan saw Yuan Shang leading the army, he knew what was going on, so he put on his horse and led the army to confront Yuan Shang.

When Yuan Shang saw Yuan Tan, he immediately cursed at him, saying that he was unfilial, disloyal, and vicious like a poisonous snake.

How could Yuan Tan tolerate each other, and cursed back.

"You poisoned your father, usurped the title, and now you're here to kill your brother! It's the worst evil in the world!!!"

After the two scolded, they were so angry that they went out to fight in person.Yuan Tan's martial arts were mediocre, and he was no match for Yuan Shang. The two brothers fought dozens of times, and Yuan Tan was defeated.Yuan Shang took advantage of the situation and ordered the army to hide and kill, Yuan Tan was defeated.Yuan Shang personally took the shot and entered the battle, intending to kill Yuan Tan.Yuan Tan was killed by his brother and fled in embarrassment all the way, and he was extremely resentful in his heart.

The Yuan brothers fought again and again, and Yuan Tan was defeated repeatedly, leading the defeated army to the plains, and Yuan Shang withdrew his troops and returned.Unwilling to lose his title, Yuan Tan negotiated with Guo Tu again to enter the army, and ordered Cen Bi to lead the army.Yuan Shang led his troops out of Jizhou.The two teams faced each other, facing each other with drums and drums.Cen Bi went out to scold, and Yuan Shang slapped his horse and wielded his sword to fight Cen Bi.The two generals fought countless battles, and Yuan Shang cut Cen Bi under his horse.Tan Bing was defeated again and went to the plain again.Yuan Shang knew that if Yuan Tan was not eliminated for a day, it would be rare for Jizhou to be peaceful, so he led his army to chase him down to the plain.

Unable to resist, Yuan Tan retreated into the plain, unable to hold out.Yuan Shang besieged and attacked the city from three sides, intending to besiege Yuan Tan to death.Seeing that Yuan Shangyu wanted to put him to death, Yuan Tan quickly discussed with Guo Tu.
