Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

The letter Cao Ang wrote to Cao Cao was also very simple. He asked Cao Cao to appoint someone to take over Xuzhou, and then asked Zhang Liao and Guo Jia to lead troops north to attack Liaodong County from both sides.

As for Gongsun Zan in Xuantu County, Cao Ang can spare his life because he took the initiative to stop the Wuhuan infantry last time.

At this time, the three Yuans in Liaodong, Zheng Huan, who were fighting each other, never expected that they were already being taken care of by Cao Ang.

The last time, in the battle of Jizhou, Yuan's army suffered a disastrous defeat and lost his troops and generals.

General Yan Liangwen and Zhang He were all killed in the battle. Three great counselors, Jusue, Shenpei and Xin Ping, were also captured by Cao's army.

Jushou and Shenpei preferred to die rather than surrender, and were ordered to be executed by Cao Ang. Only Xin Ping recognized the reality clearly and decisively surrendered. Only then did he survive and assist the Xiahou brothers in Jizhou to handle the government affairs of Jizhou and Youzhou.

Today's Liaodong County is divided into three. The eldest son Yuan Tan, assisted by Guo Tu and Xin Pi, occupies the largest territory in Xiangping.

The third son Yuan Shang, with the help of Fengji, occupied the Pingguo generation and had a large territory.

The second son, Yuan Xi, occupied Xi'an for the first generation. He had no advisers around him and had the smallest territory. He only wanted to protect himself.

In fact, the conflict between the three sons of the Yuan family arose very early on between Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan.

As the leader of the Yuan Group, Yuan Shao likes his youngest son, so he has not established a heir apparent for a long time.

After he died of illness, according to tradition, his eldest son Yuan Tan should inherit Yuan Shao's legacy.

However, Yuan Tan and Feng Ji had been at odds for a long time. Guo Tu and the Xin brothers also had deep conflicts with Feng Ji. In addition, Shen Pei died in Jizhou.

Feng Ji was worried that Yuan Tan would take action against him after he came to power, so he made a fake succession letter in Yuan Shao's name to help Yuan Shang ascend to the throne.

As the eldest son, Yuan Tan naturally cannot hand over the military power in his hands.

Moreover, he never had the chance to see Yuan Shao before Yuan Shao's death, which made him even more suspicious of the authenticity of the letter of succession.

So, with the support of Guo Tu and Xin Pi, Yuan Tan led his troops to directly rebel.

In order to deal with Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang wanted to take back the military power in Yuan Xi's hands.

But when Yuan Xi saw this situation, if you took away my military power, wouldn't that mean I would die? So he also led his troops and fled.

At this point, the small place of Liaodong County has formed a three-legged situation.

……

On this day, Yuan Xi, who had finished his patrol for the day, returned to Xi'an Pingcheng exhausted physically and mentally, ready to take a good rest.

Suddenly, one of his men hurried over.

"Lord, what's wrong, several huge ships suddenly appeared on the sea at the mouth of the river. It looks like they are planning to land on the seaside here!"

Yuan Xi, who was exhausted to death, couldn't help being startled when he heard this and hurriedly climbed up from the chair.

"You said it, but did you see it with your own eyes?" Yuan Xi couldn't figure out who would board the warship and land from him.

When the subordinate heard this, he nodded hurriedly and said, "It's absolutely true! Lord, it's just that it's getting late, so I can't see clearly how many ships are on the sea, but I can vaguely see the huge ship's shadow!"

"How big is it?" Yuan Xi looked at the shocked look of his men and couldn't help asking curiously.

The subordinate shook his head when he heard this: "It's hard to say. Anyway, I have never heard of a ship of that size, let alone seen it!"

When Yuan Xi heard this, he was very curious. He was wondering how big the ship was to make his men panic like this. Thinking of this, Yuan Xi waved his hand and said: "Let's go, follow me and see who is coming to my place!"

Afterwards, Yuan Xi led a group of soldiers to the seaside.

It's just that at this time, the sky has darkened.

In addition, the weather was bad and there was no moon. Yuan Xi and others could not see the appearance of the treasure ship. They could only see the sea full of torches.

These torches provide light for the treasure ships, so there are many of them. From a distance, it looks like there are countless warships floating on the sea.

Yuan Xi and his men couldn't help but gasped when they looked at the torches on the sea.

At this time, one of Yuan Xi's men couldn't help but said: "Lord, I heard that there is a place called Japan to the east of the East China Sea. Could these ships come from there?"

Yuan Xi said nothing when he heard this. Even if he knew where these ships came from, so what?

Whether they were friends or foes, he had no idea.

At this time, Cao Ang on the treasure ship naturally saw the torches on the shore.

After Zhao Yun saw those torches, he said: "Major General, someone must have discovered us, so we are waiting with our troops again. Why don't we let the general lead his troops to kill us. When the shore is safe, I will notify you with a flag. You can go ashore then.”

When Cao Ang heard this, he smiled and waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be so nervous. Logically speaking, this is Yuan Xi's territory. This kid has no strength and will not attack us."

Afterwards, Cao Ang gave a direct order to let the boat go down, and he wanted to land with 4,000 people.

Seeing that Cao Ang had made a decision, the generals said nothing more. Instead, following Cao Ang's instructions, they began to release the boats in an orderly manner and prepare for landing.

When Yuan Xi was stunned on the shore, one of his men reminded him: "Lord, look, the number of torches has increased!"

When Yuan Xi saw this, he realized that the other party was preparing to land.

So Yuan Xi waved his hand and directly ordered: "The whole army is on alert. If anyone comes who is hostile, shoot them to death!"

Yuan Xi's voice was so loud that Cao Ang heard it at sea.

After hearing Yuan Xi's order, Lu Bu couldn't help but said with a cold face: "This little thief Yuan Xi actually wants to shoot us to death. He really has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard."

On the other hand, Zhao Yun and the other two people had strange expressions on their faces when they heard this.

However, Cao Ang didn't think anything was wrong. He just waved his hands lightly and said, "Find a few people with loud voices and shout one sentence together, saying... Yuan Xianyong, are you okay?"

Following Cao Ang's order, the soldiers on several small boats shouted at the same time: "Yuan Xianyong, are you okay?"

Yuan Xi on the shore was stunned when he heard the shouts.

"What's going on, this person actually knows me?" Yuan Xi said to himself blankly.

When a subordinate standing next to Yuan Xi heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Master, could it be an old friend of the old master who came to help you after learning about the current situation in Liaodong?"

"It's possible!" Yuan Xi nodded.

Afterwards, Yuan Xi ordered his people to shout to the sea: "Who is coming?" (End of Chapter)
