My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Chapter 379 Decisive battle, internal strife in the Yuan family

Under the night, Hu Chuquan led his troops back slowly!
When Yuan Shao saw this, he felt hopeful instantly, but seeing that the Huns were not so happy, he probably knew in his heart that Chu Feng still ran away, and even the strongest Huns couldn't keep him.

"Chu Feng ran away?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Yuan Gong, Chu Feng is not easy to deal with! Two leaders of our army were hacked to death by one of his halberds, and nearly a thousand cavalry were killed, but our army only beheaded dozens of cavalry from the Chu army. Stronger!"

Hu Chuquan's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice.

For so many years, this was the first time he had encountered such a strong opponent.

"Just beheaded dozens of cavalry?" Yuan Shao frowned and exclaimed. Originally, he thought that Chu Feng would at least lose a lot of soldiers and horses, but who would want to kill a thousand people, but he himself only killed a few dozen.

Hu Chuquan nodded, not wanting to repeat.

"Yuan Gong, Chu Feng is definitely not as easy to deal with as he imagined." Hu Chuquan added another sentence, but this sentence was meaningful, as if reminding Yuan Shao that the Bingzhou he offered was not such a good deal.

Yuan Shao frowned and didn't say much.

But I am dissatisfied in my heart. If it is easy to deal with, I still need to find you?I found it precisely because it was difficult to deal with.

"Okay, let's all step back. For the next time, we will consolidate the camp, quickly transport troops, ensure logistics, and ensure that we can fight against them head-on." Yuan Shao waved his hand and said.

"No!" Ta Dun and Hu Chuquan responded and retreated.

As the two left, in the dark night, Yuan Shao's figure was a bit hunched, it was too difficult, although his 10,000+ soldiers and horses were not elite, but it has only been so long, and the soldiers and horses have lost so much!

He was worried about whether he could really persevere until the end.

Xu You looked at Yuan Shao, hesitated a little, and said, "My lord, although Huchuquan and Tadun respect the lord in name, they have become more and more defiant these days!"

"The subordinates are worried that even if they can defeat Chu Feng one day, they may not be able to win the Central Plains. These wolves, tigers and leopards may spy on one or two of them. We must guard against them!!"

"They dare!" Yuan Shao was furious,
But I also know in my heart that these people can indeed do these things, whether it is Wuhuan or the Huns, they are all people who do anything for the benefit, and today they can help themselves because they give them territory.
Another day, he will be stabbed in the back because of the territory,
Isn't that what Hu Chuquan said just now!
"Don't worry, I'm a big man and it's not their turn to touch them. If they really dare to think too much, I will wipe them out with my own hands!" Yuan Shao took a deep breath, feeling a little more desolate. ,

This Chu Feng made him dizzy. At this moment, what he said was nothing more than bragging. If he really had the ability to kill the two of them, he wouldn't let them be so rampant!

How Xu You didn't know this, so he silently shut up and didn't speak!
In this way, a battle is over.

Everyone waited in panic for midnight, and began to go back to bed one after another.

-

The next day, Yuan Shao got up early in the morning.

In a handsome tent, there is only Yuan Jun himself.

Looking at the letter presented, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "Trash, a bunch of trash, nearly 8000 people were lost in this battle. That's 2 people, not more than [-] pigs!"

The roaring sound resounded through the tent, and Yuan Shao threw the letter in his hand directly on Han Meng.

"Give me an explanation, otherwise, today you." Yuan Shao looked at Han Meng viciously, with an expression of hatred for iron and steel, and also anger. Up to now, Yuan Jun has killed 4 people in battle.

Just this battle damage, still playing chicken?

"My lord, I... originally wanted to take down Lu Meng, but who would have thought that the Chu army would kill us, and at a distance of tens of miles, we would be defeated and we could only flee."

Han Meng bowed his head, not knowing how to explain.

At the beginning, he never thought that his soldiers and horses would lose so much. This was only a battle, and it was just an encounter. One encounter ended like this. He really didn't know what would happen next.

"Nowadays, the combat capability of our army has been questioned by the Wuhuan Xiongnu. If things go on like this, the two of them will definitely refuse to accept, and they may even rebel, but you will be incompetent and exhaust the entire army to death. Cut yourself off!"

Yuan Shao scolded angrily, but he didn't want to.

Hearing this, Han Meng, who had already breathed a sigh of relief last night, felt his heart tighten for a moment. Good guy, his boss made him commit suicide. He is a fucking bastard. labor,"

"My lord, don't worry, the final general will definitely pay for his merits, and will never embarrass the lord!"

Han Meng's words of begging for mercy echoed in the tent, but Yuan Shao didn't know how to forgive. Too many people died in this battle, the key point was not to kill Lu Meng, and Chu Feng came to the front, which is definitely not good news. ,
Seeing that Yuan Shao ignored it, Han Meng quickly looked at the counselors, and his eyes met, motioning for them to beg for mercy.

"My lord, now is the time for employing people. Killing our general at this moment will inevitably shake the morale of the army. It is better to let General Han take the crime and make meritorious service. First, let him pay off his merits, and second, it can also inspire people's hearts."

Xu You sighed softly and came out to persuade.

There is no way, no one under Yuan Shao's command can use it anymore, if Han Meng is killed at this juncture, all other generals will be in danger, who would dare to risk their lives!

Several other civil servants also made admonitions one after another, saying that Han Meng would be punished for his meritorious deeds.

Seeing Xu You winking, Yuan Shao took a deep breath, and immediately said, "Forget it, since everyone is pleading for you, I won't kill you for the time being, but you have to do something for me!"

"No!" Han Meng nodded repeatedly,
But at this moment, an urgent voice sounded,
"Report~, please report to the lord, the third son has personally guarded this place, and said,"

"What?" Yuan Shao asked with a frown.
"It is said that when the third son returned to Liyang, he was shot and killed by someone sent by Huang Zhong. He survived by chance, so he came to report!" the man replied.

"What? What did you say? Shang, Shang'er is dead?" Yuan Shao's pupils suddenly dilated, and he instinctively slapped the table, and then he felt the world spinning for a while, and his eyes gradually blurred.

He loved his third son the most, but Yuan Shang died?

The voices of people calling for him could be heard faintly in his ears, but he was so angry that he fainted directly.

When he passed out, Xu You's pupils shrunk slightly, he pinched his beard, and glanced vaguely at Yuan Tan from the corner of his eye. The moment Yuan Shang's news came out, the first thing he thought of was Yuan Tan.
Although Yuan Tan pretended to be very similar, Xu You still got a clue from it.
It stands to reason that Yuan Tan was instinctively surprised and ecstatic when he heard the news, but Yuan Tan's performance was too much, as if he knew Yuan Shang would die in advance, so he behaved abnormally.

Thinking of this, Xu You sighed softly,

One wave is not settled, another wave rises again, the Yuan family's foundation is not yet stable, but brothers are killing each other, it is really sad, maybe this is a kind of torture from the heavens to Yuan Shao!

The house of the ruthless emperor since ancient times!
At this time, there is internal friction, and I don't know whether it is right or wrong!
At this moment, all the generals in the tent were at a loss, but all the scribes possessed their acting skills,

Xiang Yuanshang's Fengji seemed to have no master at the moment, his master was dead, but Guo Tu was pretending.

As for Yuan Tan, he grabbed the man and kept roaring: "Where is my brother's personal soldier, where is it, tell it, tell it!"

Those who didn’t know thought it was homesickness, but in fact he was worried that the people he sent would show his feet. After all, Yuan Shang was ambushed at the time, and his personal guards tried their best to protect him, but Yuan Shang ran out and was killed!
After a while, a soldier was brought over,

The personal soldier was wounded by an arrow, and it is estimated that he pretended to be dead to escape the catastrophe.

Yuan Tan looked at the guard, and wondered if the guard saw his people going to frame him behind him. He was a little panicked, and immediately shouted angrily, "What's going on? Why didn't you protect my brother well?"

At the same time, Yuan Tan drew his sword, with a heartbroken expression that he was about to kill him,
This scared the guard enough!

"Stop, stop!"

Yuan Shao woke up leisurely, his voice was weak.

"Tell me, what's going on? Why did my Shang'er die tragically at the hands of Huang Zhong, and why did I come to Liyang!" Yuan Shao sat up, unable to hide the pain of his wound, trembling.

"Returning to my lord, my subordinates don't know about it either. I only know that the third son suddenly received a letter saying that he wanted to come to Liyang. It was your seal, my lord. On the way to Liyang, he set up an ambush for the traitor."

"In the beginning, I waited desperately to protect him, but Mr. Shang had already escaped from the ambushes. I was lucky enough to survive the initial ambush, but later on, for some unknown reason, Mr. Shang died several miles away from an arrow wound."

"When the subordinate arrived, the young master was already dead, and the subordinate found this on the young master!" The guard said, and presented a blood-stained letter.

Yuan Shao took it tremblingly, and slowly opened the letter. The content probably imitated his tone and asked him to arrange some things in Liyang, but it was obviously imitated regardless of the seal.

Because his seal has a tiny gap, but this seal does not, it stands to reason that Yuan Shang shouldn't believe it!
Yuan Shao was heartbroken and didn't know what to do for a while, the sound of crying gradually resounded in the handsome tent, and everyone groaned, all lowered their heads, they didn't dare to ask more about such things.

But they are also human beings,
The biggest beneficiary of Yuan Shang's death is naturally Yuan Tan, so Yuan Shang's death is most likely caused by Yuan Tan.

"Go down, go down!"

Yuan Shao sobbed twice, tremblingly said to the crowd.

Everyone looked at each other, and then retreated one after another.

"Xu You, stay here!" Yuan Shao called to stop Xu You,
"My lord!" Xu You cupped his hands and said as the crowd receded.

"Xu You, Yuan Shang died halfway for no reason, who do you think was the killer?" Yuan Shao asked regretfully, putting the letter aside.

"Didn't that personal guard just tell you that it was Chu Feng's general Huang Zhong who did it? Could it be that there is someone else whose subordinate is dull, and I hope the lord can correct me!" Xu You pretended to be dizzy and said.

"You, you, are you still pretending not to know at this moment?" Yuan Shao was helpless, a little sad.

Xu You bowed his head, he didn't dare to get involved in this kind of thing.

"The ruthless emperor's family since ancient times!" Yuan Shao sighed,
"My lord, are you suspicious of the eldest son?" Xu You pretended to be puzzled and asked.

"Who else but him?" Yuan Shao was a little annoyed: "Hey, blame me, blame me, if I had listened to you and Jushou's advice, and established a son to inherit the family business, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"But I just want to see which of the brothers is more talented!"

Yuan Shao blamed himself a little, his mentality collapsed, his sons killed each other, how could he not be heartbroken as a father.

Xu You lowered his head: "My lord, why don't you doubt the second son Yuan Xi? Isn't he also in Pingyuan? If he designed it, firstly, he can get rid of the third son, and secondly, he can make you doubt the eldest son, my lord."

"Oh, Yuan Xi doesn't have the ability, nor does he have the heart," Yuan Shao sneered. He naturally knew who among his sons was capable of doing this.

"Then what is the lord going to do with it?" Xu You asked again.

"What do you think?" Yuan Shao looked at Xu You with a bit of helplessness in his eyes. He knew that Yuan Tan was probably responsible for this matter, but at this moment he had no choice but to

"Subordinates dare not speak nonsense!" Xu You said hastily.

"If you tell me what you say, no one will know!" Yuan Shao snorted coldly,
"Well, this subordinate believes that it doesn't matter who killed the third son. My lord can declare to the outside world that the third son died at the hands of the Chu army, and appointing the eldest son as the successor can also strengthen the morale of the army."

Xu You hesitated a little, and immediately suggested,

"Hey, I see!"

Yuan Shao sighed, but at the moment it can only be like this,
"Okay, you step back first!" Yuan Shao waved his hand, feeling a little lonely in his heart, forgetting the successive failures, but now the sons and heirs are fighting for the foundation, and Yuan Tan directly killed Yuan Shang with one blow,

"No!" Xu You nodded and retreated slowly.

Looking at Yuan Shao's lonely expression, Xu You sighed softly. Perhaps this is also the helplessness of the princes. Who would want his own heirs to die and fight among themselves, but he had predicted this a few years ago.
It's just that he didn't expect that they would do it without waiting for Yuan Shao to grow old.

Perhaps, Yuan Shao established a successor early in the past and cut off the possibility of the succession of several others, so what happened today would not have happened. It is strange that Yuan Shao's original decision went wrong.

It seems that after today, there will be another wave of purges under Yuan Shao's command. Those who can be accepted by Yuan Tan can continue to stay, and those who cannot be accepted can pack up and leave.

He simply didn't stand in line!
Watching Xu You leave, Yuan Shao shed tears silently, his palms and backs were covered with flesh, even if he knew what Yuan Tan did, what could he do?Could it be that Yuan Tan was executed directly?
The point is that even if he thinks about it, he can't do anything about it. Then Yuan Tan applied to be transferred to Youzhou and Bingzhou, and now he has a very friendly relationship with Wuhuan Xiongnu. He might even be able to replace him with an order.
For a moment, Yuan Shao was even more sad,
On this day, Yuan Shao wept bitterly alone,

He recalled everything about Yuan Shang,
However, everyone in Yuan Jun knew that there was going to be a big commotion inside Yuan Jun, and this commotion was probably deadly.

On the second day, Yuan Shao, as always,

It was as if Yuan Shang's death had never happened, and Yuan Shao's attitude towards Yuan Tan just confirmed everyone's speculation. Yuan Shao wanted to make Yuan Tan his successor, and he always asked Yuan Tan's opinion when doing things.

Yuan Shao's transformation is also completely confirmed. Yuan Tan is the winner of this internal fight, and he won very easily. Obviously, it is better to strike first!
Correspondingly, more and more soldiers and horses of the coalition army are crossing the river, and they are all actively preparing for the decisive battle with Chu Feng!
