Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 114
After Liu Bei led his troops into Donglai County, the spies kept reporting that Yuan Jun had conquered three cities in a row.

Guan Yu said: "Sergeant Yuan Jun must have been exhausted after several days of fighting. If we wait for the opponent to recuperate or enter the city, it will be difficult for us to fight."

Liu Bei agreed: "I think so too, order the whole army to pursue Yuan Jun!"

The next day, the two armies encountered each other.

When Liu Bei saw that Yuan Jun and Chen Bing were in a neat formation and their morale was high, Liu Bei felt something was wrong in his heart.

However, a young general came out and shouted: "My servant, Yuan Xianyi, please come forward and see Mr. Xuande."

Liu Bei listened, and regardless of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's obstruction, he rode forward and was within a shot of Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi cupped his hands and said, "I have seen Duke Xuande, and remembering that I met him in Fei County before, it seems like yesterday, so I can't help but sigh."

Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Yuan Zhoumu gave birth to a good son. In my eyes, you are more difficult to deal with than your elder brother."

Yuan Xiqian said: "Don't dare. Brothers unite as one, and their benefits can break gold. The three brothers Xuande, why not?"

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "There's no need to mention these things. If you have anything to say, just say it quickly."

Yuan Xi said: "Mr. Xuande is a hero of the present age. Now that the two armies are fighting, it is inevitable that there will be many casualties. Why don't we turn the fighting into jade?"

Liu Bei snorted coldly: "The Yuan family invaded Qingzhou arbitrarily, attacked and killed the officials of the Han court, and even set up another emperor. They are really traitors of the Han Dynasty. How can Bei be with you?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Mr. Xuande's words are wrong!"

"Back then, Dong Zhuo hijacked the Emperor of Han to bring disaster to the world. My father called on the heroes of the world to join forces against Dong in order to help the Han Dynasty!"

"It was because the Han Emperor was held hostage by the Dong thief, the government was in chaos, and the world was in chaos, so the coalition forces appointed Liu's Zongzheng Liuhou (Yu) as emperor, and made the Han world a clear one!"

"But what about Duke Xuande?"

"I remember Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian, but they supported Que Xuan!"

"Does Duke Xuande also agree with this move?"

Liu Bei was at a loss for words for a while, unable to answer.

When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw this, they rode forward. Yuan Xi's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, and he couldn't help but wanted to turn around and run away.

Behind him, Zhao Yun Gaolan followed his horse forward and stood by Yuan Xi's side, Yuan Xi felt at ease now.

Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "Brother, don't talk nonsense with this kid, just see the real chapter under the hands of both sides."

Zhang Fei pointed at Zhao Yun and cursed: "Boy, Big Brother treats you well, but you betrayed Big Brother!"

Zhao Yun said calmly: "Yun has a clear conscience."

"I also want to know why Gongsun Zan killed Liu Hou, but Duke Xuande kept silent."

Liu Bei sighed, and said, "Zilong, I know you're not fair, but I don't have difficulties."

"Under the world, it is so difficult to find a place to live in. I also have a last resort..."

"Taozhou Mu passed away the day before yesterday."

Zhao Yun heard Liu Bei's implication, was silent for a while, and finally cupped his hands and said, "Shu Yun can no longer serve Xuande Gong."

Liu Bei let out a long sigh.

Zhang Fei was impatient, he swung the Zhangba Snake Spear and pointed at Zhao Yun: "I knew you were rebellious!"

"Come and do a game with me, let grandpa send you on the road!"

Zhao Yun came from a low family background, and Zhang Fei always looked down on him. Now that Zhao Yun heard Zhang Fei's insults, he became angry and gripped the barrel of his gun tightly.

Yuan Xi said: "I ask Lord Xuande to focus on the overall situation. Now the two sides are attacking endlessly, not to mention that Cao Cao is still coveting Xuzhou. If he is beaten badly, how can Duke Xuande defend Xuzhou?"

Zhang Fei shouted: "Today I will kill all of you here, and then I will go back and kill Cao Cao!"

Yuan Xi ignored him, and said: "Mr. Ziqian (Lu Zhi) was a counselor under my father's tent during his lifetime, but his disciples, Duke Xuande and Gongsun Zan, were enemies with him. Is it the mister's fault or the disciple's fault?" gone?"

As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu couldn't help but shouted: "Smart words, eloquent words, full of obvious words, it's all nonsense!"

Seeing that Liu Bei was not speculative, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both wanted to fight, and finally made up their minds: "Whether you win or lose, you have to see and see."

"Okay!" Yuan Xi heard this, cupped his hands and said, "I hope that after the First World War, the boy can sit down and have a good talk with Duke Xuande!"

The two sides didn't answer any more, and went back to each other.

Yuan Xi heaved a sigh of relief, his back was covered with cold sweat, he was really afraid that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would get ruthless just now, so he rushed up and chopped himself off.

Fortunately, there are still some martial arts on the other side, maybe I don't think I'm worth killing?

Yuan Tan came up and said, "Second brother, since they are stubborn, we can only go to war."

Yuan Xi nodded helplessly, thinking that indeed sometimes, the most effective way to persuade the other party is force.

Yuan Tan waved his hand, and the Jizhou soldiers began to advance forward. The archers stood in the middle of the army, ready to release arrows.

Seeing the advancing formation on the opposite side, Liu Bei said worriedly: "This battle is not easy to fight, and the soldiers on the opposite side seem not as tired as we thought."

Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "The only way is to wait for the opportunity to kill the general on the other side."

Zhang Fei sneered, "Look at me!"

He went out first and rushed straight to the opposite side.

As a result, the army on the opposite side shouted, and a rain of arrows shot over.

Zhang Fei cursed secretly in his heart, and steered his horse to dodge, as if the other side didn't want to give him a chance!

He ran around the front of the formation for half a circle, and when he reached the flank, he found that Zhao Yun was already standing in front of the formation. He shouted loudly and rushed forward, and the two fought together.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei have also sparred many times, and they are very familiar with each other's routines. After dozens of tumbling moves, Zhang Fei looked behind at a gap, Guan Yu hesitated, and immediately came up.

This is how they beheaded Yan Liang, Zhang Fei entangled the enemy general, Guan Yu took the opportunity to rush forward!

Seeing Liu Bei, he sighed and couldn't help turning his head away.

Seeing Guan Yu getting closer to Zhao Yun, he heard the sound of bowstrings in the distance, and an arrow shot towards Guan Yu.

Startled, Guan Yu turned sideways to dodge the arrows, and saw Zhang Yun galloping towards him with a bow in his hand, and Gao Lan was joining him in the battle.

Guan Yu suddenly understood that his thoughts had been seen through by the other party!

That's right, Yan Liang is dead, the other party can't be unguarded!

But facing the two of them, why would he retreat?

Guan Yu laughed loudly and went forward to meet him: "Come and fight!"

In an instant, the three generals fought together.

Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were being entangled, Liu Bei drew out his double swords and ordered the soldiers to press on them. Arrows and arrows from the two armies collided fiercely.

As soon as he joined the battle, Liu Bei felt that something was wrong. The Jizhou soldiers were high-spirited, and they suppressed the Xuzhou soldiers in one fell swoop!

Now he can only order the soldiers to stick to the central army, hoping that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the flank can kill the opposing general, break through from the side, and win.

A thought flashed through his mind, should this battle not be fought?
He stretched out his head to look, and saw that Zhang Fei was in a hurry to stab Zhao Yun to death, but Zhao Yun kept his defenses tight, and the two of them were in a stalemate for a moment.

Guan Yu faced Zhang He Gao Lan, but he was full of energy, like a long knife blowing the wind, Zhang He Gao Lan was unable to win for a while.

Guan Yu knew that he couldn't last long, he tried his best, and his physical strength was much higher than that of the opponent. Now he was in a dilemma. Unless he found the opponent's weakness and hacked one of them to death, he would lose sooner or later.

But he didn't even have that chance.

Just listening to the loud sound of the bowstring, a feather arrow shot towards Guan Yu's face like lightning!

Guan Yu was startled, this arrow was faster than Zhang Yun's before!
He hurriedly turned his head, narrowly dodging the arrows, and saw a general in the distance with two halberds thrust into his back, holding a big bow and galloping towards him!

Tai Shici!
He finally took his mother back and came to see Yuan Xi as promised. Yuan Xi was overjoyed and took her to meet Yuan Tan, promising that as long as Tai Shici persuaded the cities of Donglai to surrender and did not resist, he would never harass the people in the city.

Later, the Jizhou army did fulfill the agreement. Except for sending hundreds of people into the city, the army did not enter the city to disturb the people, so the counties and counties along the way surrendered in anticipation.

This is why the Jizhou soldiers are full of energy today.

As Tai Shici rushed over, he shot at Guan Yu with a strong bow in his hand. Guan Yu finally couldn't resist, and was shot by an arrow in his left arm. The arrow pierced through the armor and penetrated several inches into the flesh.

At this moment, Guan Yu's strength was exhausted. With a roar, he swung his saber, and galloped his horse back to his own formation.

Seeing this, Tai Shici and other three generals turned their horses around and went straight to Zhang Fei.

This was the order Yuan Xi gave them before the war.

Since the other party will sneak attack, then you are welcome here.

Concentrate on the superior generals and fight the opposing generals in groups!
Zhang Fei was fighting with Zhao Yun. Seeing Guan Yu was injured, the three generals came to kill him. He couldn't help shouting: "Despicable and shameless, look at your grandpa Zhang Fei killing you all!"

He swung his Zhang Ba Snake Spear vigorously, forcing Zhao Yun to retreat, turned around and ran away.

He is not stupid.

Seeing the four generals chasing after Zhang Fei, Yuan Xi couldn't help crying, who has fought such a rich battle!
Can Romance do it!

Seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei retreating, Yuan Tan decisively commanded the cavalry on both wings to press up. The arrow rain poured on Liu Bei's flanks, and the soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

Liu Bei's own formation was difficult to maintain, and he let out a long sigh.

One wrong move, one wrong step, just wanted to rely on force, but was suppressed by the opponent's force.

Apart from my three brothers, there are still too few generals available!
Seeing that the defeat was obvious, he had no choice but to command the soldiers to gather slowly, waiting for an opportunity to break through.

The battle lasted for most of the day, and Liu Bei finally escaped with half of the people.

This kind of result can be achieved because Yuan Jun didn't kill them all.

Yuan Tan said to Yuan Xi, "Why didn't you chase them?"

Yuan Xi said: "In the future, Duke Xuande may not stand by our side."

"And if he is beaten to the point where he has no soldiers, Cao Cao might turn around and attack Xuzhou right away, so aren't we making wedding dresses for people?"

Yuan Tan said with a smile: "It seems that the second brother is still afraid of Cao Cao just like three years ago."

"I think it's very difficult for him to have a chance in Yanzhou, the place where the fourth war is fought. Is the second brother worrying too much?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "It's just a feeling, I hope I'm wrong."

Ju Shou listened, thoughtful.

He didn't speak from the beginning to the end of this battle, but let Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi play freely.

Judging from the results, it was much better than he expected.

But because of this, Ju Shou was even more entangled.

The three sons of the Yuan family are all so capable, I am afraid that the future struggle for power will be a disaster.

However, Yuan Shao did not listen to Jushou's suggestion and let the three sons lead the army separately. Most of the advisers stood in line, but Jushou was always hesitant.

Now it is obvious that the eldest son and the second son have joined forces, but the third son's biological mother, Mrs. Liu, is the official wife, and she will never let the two get what they want.

Jushou got a headache, and it was so difficult to find someone who could help him with peace of mind. Could it be that he would also be involved in the vortex of fighting for the position in the end?
