Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 857 Except your mother

Peng An was not familiar with Cao Cao's generals. He only glanced at the flag and then went forward without knowing anything.

This is normal. He is Yuan Tan's general. There is no one else suitable to take action at this time. Moreover, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have fought several times. Although Peng An is not as powerful as the Four Court Pillars, he is still qualified in terms of command, but what he does The one who knew about it was the former Cao Jun, so he knew nothing about the coming danger.

If it were Yuan Xi's generals who saw the flags and appearances of Cao Jun's generals, they would be more alert, because Yuan Xi once made a long list of Cao Jun's generals that needed to be wary of, with the danger increasing in order.

Xu Chu and Cao Xiu were both high-ranking candidates. General Yuan Xijun who had seen the roster would never be as careless as Peng An.

Peng An rushed towards Cao Xiu. He was also experienced in battles. He poked out a steel spear and suppressed Cao Xiu in just three moves. Cao Xiu reluctantly used his spear to block it, but in fact he retained three of his strength and secretly stalked him. Peng'an's gun was stopped.

At this time, Xu Chu had already mounted his horse and came forward. The sword in his hand bounced off the ground, drew an arc with the sound of wind and thunder, and struck Peng An hard on the head!

When Peng An heard the news, he felt something was wrong. He quickly drew his gun, but Cao Xiu took the opportunity to hold down the barrel of his gun. Peng An quickly shook the gun head, got out of the circle, turned around and stabbed Xu Chu in the face. .

Xu Chu turned his face to pass Peng An's gun, and the sword in his hand fell quickly. Cao Xiu had already pierced Peng An's horse's neck with his gun.

The horse turned over and fell over. Peng An couldn't keep his balance and his arms couldn't move. He watched Xu Chu slash his shoulder with a knife.

Xu Chu took advantage of the situation and swung the sword. The sword diagonally entered Peng An's neck from Peng An's shoulder armor, and then dragged it sideways.

A stream of blood spurted out from Peng An's neck. Peng An screamed and fell off his horse and died.

The two sides charged together again, and Yuan Tan's death struggle made the battle even more fierce. The soldiers who wanted to escape could not find a way out, so they could only wave their weapons wildly, as if they were crazy. Soldiers kept falling down, with corpses layer upon layer. Pile up.

Cao Xiu understood and understood that Xu Chu was selling out his face, because if Cao Xiu wanted to take charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he needed to quickly establish his prestige in a short period of time. At this time, the head of the enemy general was in great need of his letter.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the sunset on the horizon, feeling the strength in his body draining away rapidly. He thought to himself that this was really ironic. The three brothers had been fighting for so long, but he was the first to die.

The generals in Cao's camp followed Cao Cao to the front of the battle, attacked with all their strength along the gap opened by Xu Chu, completely defeated Peng An's army, and then surrounded Yuan Tan's army.

Yuan Tan shouted and waved the long knife in his hand randomly, but then several iron spears pierced his body.

There were screams one after another, and Yuan Tan slashed open the face of the Cao soldiers who rushed forward with his sword, and suddenly felt a pain in his lower abdomen.

He only hesitated for a moment and then shouted: "Fight them!"

He tilted his body and fell off his horse. Immediately, Cao's army surged up like a tide and pierced his body with hundreds of swords and spears.

"Don't worry, I will treat your wife and children well after you die."

Under the leadership of Yuan Tan, almost all of the more than 10,000 people died on the spot, and very few were captured. Cao Jun died many times, and it can be said that he paid a heavy price!

Cao Cao couldn't restrain his anger. He stood up, pointed at Qingyang City in the distance, and said to his subordinates: "Capture this city and massacre it for three days. The women can take the money and silk as they please!"

He ordered people to put Yuan Tan's head away, turned around and looked at the battlefield, seeing the dead bodies everywhere, he couldn't help but feel angry.

He dismounted and cut off Peng An's head, then mounted his horse and raised his head with a spear, galloping in front of the formation, while shouting: "The general is dead, surrender quickly, and you will not die if you wait!"

The battle lasted until sunset. Yuan Tan's soldiers were exhausted, and they were surrounded by the shouts of Cao Jun.

"Everyone, please follow me and completely defeat the enemy!"

He looked down and saw that one of Cao Bing's iron spears had penetrated deeply into his abdomen. Then the iron spear was pulled out and a fountain of blood spurted out.

Yuan Tan's head was sent to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao saw it, he stepped forward and said with a wry smile: "Xian Si, we could have become one family, so why bother?"

When Cao Cao heard the news before the battle, he was overjoyed and said to the generals: "Wen Lie is worthy of being my thousand-mile horse!"

When Peng An's soldiers saw it, their morale was suddenly low. Even though his troops tried their best to maintain it, they were retreating steadily under the attack of Xu Chu and Cao Xiu's troops, and they could no longer pose a threat to Cao's army.

When Cao Xiu saw this, he signaled Xu Chu to dismount and cut off Peng An's head. However, Xu Chu made a gesture, turned around and rushed into the chaotic Peng An formation, charging all the way in.

"Whoever wins Yuan Tan's head will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

Over there, Yuan Tan heard the news of Peng An's death in battle and knew that the raid was a complete failure. He looked bitterly towards the direction of Cao Cao's attack, knowing that he might not be able to escape today.

After hearing this, Cao Cao's generals looked happy, shouted in unison, and rushed towards Qingyang City.

Not long after, Qingyang City was destroyed, and a raging fire broke out in the city.

After Cao Cao received the news of the report from his subordinates in the city, he was a little unhappy. Although almost all of Yuan Tan's soldiers died in this battle, most of the officials and family members ran away in advance!

However, after this battle, Cao Jun basically controlled Qinghe County. This was a large county with 700,000 to 800,000 people. Cao Jun was able to requisition a lot of soldiers, money and food, and regained his strength!

But Cao Cao did not dare to be careless, because Yuan Xi's army in Anping County would go south at any time, so he sent generals to attack the city nearby, and at the same time strengthened the city defense to prepare for the arrival of Yuan Xi's army.

When Yuan Xi learned about the situation of the Battle of Qingyang, it was already a few days later. He was marching towards Yecheng at this time, intending to meet Yuan Shang. He had already arrived at the junction of the three places of Qinghe and Weijun in Anping. After hearing the news, he couldn't help but fall into After being sluggish, Yuan Tan died like this?

Logically speaking, if he can't be beaten, he should be able to run away, right?

Later, detailed information came. It was not until Yuan Xi's rear army picked up Xin Ping and others who had escaped that Yuan Xi understood the cause and effect of the incident.

He sighed to Xin Pingyang and others who were prostrate on the ground: "Why is he so hard to think about? Although my Yuan family is fighting internally, we will not kill them all. Wouldn't he rather die in the hands of Cao Cao than bow to me?" ?” On the surface, take care of the Lord’s family.”

Yuan Xi sighed: "The person is dead and everything has disappeared. Let the past things pass."

Xin Pingyang and others looked happy when they heard Yuan Xi say: "But there is only one person who cannot be spared."

Everyone's eyes fell on Yuan Yao who was tied up on one side. Xin Ping and others looked at Yuan Yao who was pale and collapsed on the ground, thinking that Yuan Tan didn't kill this person, so he stayed here.

Yuan Yao's body couldn't help but tremble, and he hissed: "Sir, please spare my life!"

He suddenly thought of something and shouted: "I have many extremely important things. I will tell you all. Please spare my life!"

Just as Yuan Xi was about to speak, he immediately said to the guards: "Take the others down first."

Only Yuan Xi, Lu Lingqi and Yuan Yao were left in the tent. Yuan Xi stood up, walked to Yuan Yao, and said condescendingly: "Go ahead."

Yuan Yao's eyes flashed a few times and he said, "Please make me swear to spare my life."

Yuan Xi sneered: "Do you think you are still qualified to negotiate terms now?"

"You are the murderer of Xianfu. His life or death is uncertain now. If I send you your head, will he thank me?"

Yuan Yao had no choice but to lower his head and first told him about Cao Cao's temptation to assassinate Yuan Shang. Knowing that these alone were not enough to save his life, he also mentioned how many private treasuries the Yuan family had in Shouchun, and then said: "The specific location is difficult to find. I need it." Take someone to pick it up in person.”

"It contains most of the property that my father collected from Jianghuai over the years, which is enough to support tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Is this enough to exchange for my life?"

Yuan Xi shook his head, "Of course it's not enough."

"If you say this is all you have, you won't be able to survive today."

Yuan Yao's face turned pale, "Why is it not enough to give me a life after so much? Is my life so valuable?"

Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "Of course your life is worthless, but I already know the location of these treasury."

"I also know that two of the treasuries are under the Huai River outside Shouchun City, and one is under the city wall of Shouchun City. Three special keys are needed to open the door."

"I have already opened one of the treasuries."

Yuan Yao's face changed drastically and he lost his voice: "How did you know?"

Yuan Xi said calmly: "Of course it was Yuan Gongdao who said it."

"He died peacefully and let everything go before he died."

"If there is nothing else, I will send you to fulfill your filial piety."

Yuan Yao shouted: "Sure enough, you killed my father, but you are so heartless and crazy that you kill all the people of the same clan and clan!"

He immediately became frightened and kowtowed quickly: "Your Majesty, I am no longer a threat, please spare my life!"

He saw the silent Lu Lingqi next to him and guessed that she was Lu Bu's daughter. He quickly crawled over and reached out to beg Lu Lingqi, "Madam, Madam, for the sake of our engagement, please spare me a moment..."

With a swipe, Lu Lingqi flicked her short halberd across Yuan Yao's wrist, and said coldly: "You are shameless, you colluded with Cao Cao to kill my father, how dare you say these things?"

Yuan Yao covered his broken wrist and rolled on the ground screaming. Yuan Xi pulled out the ring-headed knife from his waist and said to Lu Lingqi: "Together?"

The two stepped forward, Yuan Yao's face was twisted with fear, and he hissed: "You... you are the son of a domestic slave, you can't kill me... you are not qualified to kill me..."

"I am the prince! I am the future emperor! Why..."

Yuan Xi slowly raised his knife: "Don't worry, I won't affect others."

"Your wife, I..." Yuan Xi suddenly realized something was wrong and changed his words: "I will let someone raise her."

He paused, "Except your mother."

Before Yuan Yao could realize what it meant, there were two pops and the halberds pierced into Yuan Yao's chest at the same time. Yuan Yao's body shook a few times, then he gradually straightened up and lost his breath.

Yuan Xi had Yuan Yao's body carried out, and asked Zhuge Liang to come over and said, "What do you think the military advisor should do next?"
