Great Han Empire

Chapter 853 The Heroes of Troubled Times Compete in the Central Plains
At the end of June, Henan Yin, Yangwu City.

The Northern Xinjiang Army crossed the gutter water and launched an attack on Yuanwu and Yangwu cities.

The two sides fought for two days, Cao Cao couldn't hold back, and planned to retreat across the chasm.Xin Ping, Gao Gan, and Liu Pan hurriedly dissuaded him.At this time, if the water of the chasm is retreated, the entire defense line will collapse, so it is better to stick to it and wait for help.

"Look carefully, it's not just the Jizhou soldiers and horses of the Northern Frontier Army who are attacking us, but also their main force." Cao Cao shouted angrily, pointing to the direction outside the city, "Your eyes are not blind! , Didn’t you see that it was Qu Yi who attacked Yangwu City? If we continue to fight like this, we will suffer heavy losses, how will we fight the next battle?”

"My lord, since Qu Yi's army has rushed to the northern battlefield, it is Lu Bu who is attacking Junyi and Kaifeng from the front. Lu Bu's infantry is limited and cannot pose a threat to Junyi and Kaifeng. It's just to contain Yuan Xi." Xin Ping persuaded, "We have already asked Yuan Xi for help, and I believe he will send troops to help us soon."

"It's been two days, where are his reinforcements?" Cao Cao scolded angrily, "Unless we are dead, we will never see his reinforcements."

Xin Ping bowed his head and remained silent.

Both Qu Yi and Yan Liang of the Northern Frontier Army went to the northern battlefield. Their purpose was to fight Cao Cao and Liu Bei and force Yuan Shao to draw support from the frontal battlefield.If Yuan Shao intends to consume Cao Cao and Liu Bei's forces, Yuan Xi's reinforcements will not arrive in a short time, so that the northern army can take advantage of the internal contradictions of the coalition forces to successfully break through the coalition's second line of defense.

At this moment Cao Cao was anxious.Regardless of whether he was unable to withstand the attack of the Northern Border Army, or in order to preserve his strength, as long as he retreated without Yuan Shao's consent, causing the Northern Border Army to break through the second line of defense and enter the hinterland of Henan, then Yuan Shao would have an excuse to punish himself .Now most of the coalition forces are from Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, and his own force is small and scattered on three battlefields. Yuan Shao is fully capable of taking the opportunity to get rid of himself once and for all.

Cao Cao was worried that he would be killed by Yuan Shao, and he didn't dare to let himself lose too much. At the same time, he didn't dare to give up Yuan Wu and Yang Wu, so as not to make excuses for Yuan Shao, so he called Liu Bei, Liu Pan, and Xin again and again. Reviewers and senior cadres discussed this matter.The decision to retreat was made by everyone. Among them were Yuan Shao's subordinate Xin Ping, his nephew Gao Gan, and Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan. Both Liu Pan and Liu Pan agreed to retreat.

Liu Bei kept silent, and it was useless for him to speak.In favor of Cao Cao's withdrawal, it is bound to cause trouble to the upper body. Once the war situation is reversed, he will be too guilty.I don't agree with the withdrawal of the army, and I have lost too much. Although I still control Xuzhou, if the army loses too much, and it is too late to replenish, Yuan Shao will take the opportunity to annex it in all likelihood.Liu Bei was so worried that he sat aside and sighed, helpless.

Cao Cao and others were quarreling endlessly inside the city, while the northern army continued to attack outside the city. The situation on the battlefield gradually changed over time.

At the end of June, Henan Yin, Zhongmou City.

Tian Feng was enraged and yelled at Yuan Xi, urging Yuan Xi to immediately dispatch troops from Junyi and Kaifeng to support Yuanwu and Yangwu to ensure the safety of the northern battlefield.

The current situation is clear at a glance, the attack strategy of the Northern Xinjiang Army is also very clear, and the solution is also very simple, that is, quickly divide the troops for support.We have an army of 2 on the frontal battlefield. With the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army moving to the northern battlefield, withdrawing [-] to [-] people to support Yuanwu and Yangwu will not affect the safety of the frontal battlefield at all.

Yuan Xi rejected Tian Feng's suggestion.He thought this was a tactic by the Northern Xinjiang Army to attack the West.People like Li Hong, Qu Yi, and Lu Bu are veterans who have experienced many battles, and they cannot be defended by troops. Things will never be as simple as we imagined.Once we fall into the trap of the Northern Xinjiang Army and allow the Northern Xinjiang Army to break through the frontal battlefield, we may lose Henan when we retreat across the board and the defenders are distracted.

"However, if the Northern Xinjiang Army breaks through the northern battlefield, captures Yuanwu and Yangwu, and attacks our flanks, the army will still have to withdraw to defend Zhongmu." Tian Feng said excitedly, "If our misjudgment causes the second line of defense to be fully Collapse, the consequences are unimaginable."

"Lord Tian, ​​the prime minister has an army of 4. With [-] horses to defend two cities and one river, let alone ten and a half months, five or six days is still possible?" Yuan Xi was confronted by Tian Feng in the lobby. The faces of the generals accused them repeatedly, and their hearts were very angry. Jun's face flushed red, "Five or six days later, the Northern Xinjiang Army will lose its troops and lose its generals. Qiu, wouldn't it be possible to resolve the crisis on the northern battlefield? Why do we have to dispatch troops to the northern battlefield for support?"

Tian Feng shook his head again and again angrily, "Five or six days later, the Northern Xinjiang Army lost troops and generals, what about us? Did we not lose? Now dispatching troops to support the past can not only block the Northern Xinjiang Army's attack, but also reduce the army's casualties. It's that simple Your Excellency, can’t you see the matter? You have never led soldiers, have you never read military books?”

Yuan Xi was finally irritated by Tian Feng's contemptuous expression and arrogant words. He jumped up and roared: "I am the commander-in-chief of the army. I have the final say on how to fight this battle and how to adjust the soldiers."

"Are you the commander-in-chief of the army?" Tian Feng tilted his head and pointed to the lobby, "Open your eyes and take a look..." His hands came from the faces of Kuai Yue, Wenpin, Jiang Qi, Meng Dai and others. Scanning one by one, "Do you know the people here? What qualifications do you have to be the commander-in-chief of the army? Your father used you to sit in Henan. How can this battle be undefeated? How can this country not perish?"

Yuan Xi was furious, "Drag him down, drive him out of the camp..."

"Slow, slow..." Kuai Yue grabbed Tian Feng and waved his hands repeatedly at Yuan Xi, "Master Tian is confused, there are many inappropriate words, don't blame too much."

"It's gone." Yuan Xi flicked his sleeves and left angrily.He dare not deny Kuai Yue's face.

"This battle is going to be lost. If we continue to fight like this, we will definitely lose this battle." Sitting in Kuai Yue's military tent, Tian Feng was filled with grief and indignation.

"You've been in prison once, why don't you change your temper?" Kuai Yue pointed to the water on the table, "Drink it to calm down your anger."

Tian Feng picked up the water and threw it on his back, "I want to cry now." Tian Feng wiped the water stains on his beard and said in pain.

"You have to understand Ben Chu's current mood." Kuai Yue sat next to him and persuaded in a low voice, "Yuan Shu is dead. Although their brothers have always been at odds, they are half brothers after all. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Killed dozens of members of the Yuan family, all of whom were close relatives of Benchu ​​and Gonglu. Counting, there are only two of them left in Yuan Feng's family. Whether they are at odds or fighting, they are A pair of brothers who depend on each other for life, how can we let go of this kinship?"

"How Yuan Shu died, you know it, I know it, Cao Cao and Liu Bei also know it. At this time, it is understandable to want to weaken their strength and kill them." Kuai Yue sighed and stretched out his hand to pat him. He patted Tian Feng's thin shoulder, "Wouldn't it be the same as the beginning if we were replaced? Can you give up this family relationship? Can you not resent Cao Cao and Liu Bei? You don't want to kill them to vent your hatred?"

"I can understand." Tian Feng nodded and said, "But when is this? This is the time when the survival of the country is at stake? How can he ignore the safety of the country for his own selfishness? As long as this battle is won, Cao Cao, Is Liu Bei still the fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered?"

"If Yuan Shu hadn't died, I wouldn't have been so impatient at first, but unfortunately..." Kuai Yue sighed, "Yuan Shu died at this time."

Tian Feng punched the table, almost killed himself in pain, "I want to write a letter to Mr. Yuan, and I want to tell him that if he insists on instigate civil strife, he will lose this battle."

Tian Feng jumped up and strode out of the tent.

"Yuan Hao..." Kuai Yue stood up and wanted to hold him back, but stopped after taking two hurried steps.Tian Feng can't hold back, let him go, life and death are up to him.

At the end of June, Gao Lan and Qin Yi led their troops across the gutter from the direction of Fengqiu to attack Sanling Pavilion.They attacked Yuan Jun's camp at night, successfully captured Sanling Pavilion, and took the lead in reaching the east bank of Honggou River.

Zhao Yun led the iron cavalry to follow up.Some cavalry galloped back and forth along the south bank of the Jishui River, preventing the rebels from retreating from Yuanwu and Yangwu.Part of the iron cavalry was deployed on the two wings of the infantry army, protecting the infantry army and standing on the east bank of the Honggou River, waiting to join the follow-up army.

The Sanling Pavilion was lost, and the Northern Army had controlled the conical zone on the south bank of the Jishui River and the east bank of the Honggou River, cutting off the way for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to retreat directly south to Zhongmu City.Now if Cao Cao and Liu Bei want to retreat to the west bank of Honggou River, they can only retreat westward to the area of ​​Aocang and Xingyang, and then rush to the area of ​​Zhongmou through Guancheng.Originally, it was only one day's journey for them to cross the Jishui River in the south and retreat to Zhongmou City by Honggoushui, but now it has become a four-day journey.

Cao Cao could not withdraw for the time being, and the Yuan army stationed in Zhongmou was insufficient, so Zhongmou was in danger.Once Zhongmu was lost, the coalition forces in Junyi and Kaifeng would immediately fall into the siege of the northern army, and this battle would be dangerous.

Yuan Xi hurriedly dispatched reinforcements from Junyi and Kaifeng, more than 100 miles away.

In Yangwu City, without waiting for Cao Cao to call, Xin Ping, Gao Gan and others rushed over, impatiently demanding to withdraw their troops.Cao Cao was not in a hurry, he teased the three people, didn't you say you would swear to the death and never back down?How to withdraw troops?Now the northern army outside the city is eager to go south to join their vanguard army. If we stick to Yuanwu and Yangwu, it will be equivalent to jamming the neck of the northern army. We only need to wait for Yuan Xi to defend Zhongmou and block the forward army of the northern army. On the north bank of Honggoushui, we can attack Yuan Xi back and forth, encircling and annihilating the vanguard of the Northern Frontier Army on the east bank of Honggoushui.

Xin Ping was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry.Yuan Xi was unwilling to send reinforcements to the northern battlefield, but he found an opportunity for the northern army, and hit the second line of defense in one blow, forcing the army to retreat across the board.At this time, Cao Cao was so shameless that he was still talking about attacking the northern border army with Yuan Xi back and forth.Now it would be great to be able to withdraw back to Aocang smoothly before the northern border army encircled Yuanwu and Yangwu.

Cao Cao was unwilling to withdraw, saying that he would stick to the northern battlefield and buy time for the deployment of troops on the central battlefield.Xin Ping and others were so anxious that they sent people to find Liu Bei and Liu Pan.As a result, the news that came back made Cao Cao, Xin Ping and others be overwhelmed.Liu Bei and Liu Pan abandoned their guard at Yuanwu City and were rushing towards Aocang, but they were silent and didn't even say hello.

The Beijiang Army that attacked Yuanwu City had roared down, encircling the city from the left and right sides, intending to wipe out all the rebels in the city.

Cao Cao was so angry that he cursed loudly, rushed out of the government office with his saber in hand, and rushed out of the city with his men and horses.Xin Ping and Gao Gan followed closely behind, galloping on horseback.

Zhang He led his men to chase for a while, killing 2000 people, and then led his army to join Qu Yi and Yan Liang.The army of northern Xinjiang crossed the river non-stop, heading straight for the water in the chasm.

Yuan Xi was still in the city dreaming that Cao Cao and Liu Bei could help him defend for a while, but after one night, the Northern Frontier Army came to kill them like a tide, with overwhelming momentum.

"Give up Junyi and Kaifeng, otherwise Zhongmou will be lost, and Henan will be lost." Tian Feng has no interest and no time to mock Yuan Xi, he just keeps urging the withdrawal.Although Yuan Xi was in chaos, he was not so confused as to order the withdrawal of troops without authorization.Ordering the army to withdraw from Junyi and Kaifeng was tantamount to giving up the second line of defense. Yuan Xi did not have the power nor the courage.He sent [-] miles of fast horses to Xuchang overnight, and asked his father to give orders in person.

"There's no time, there's no time." Tian Feng was furious, waving his hands, wishing he could grab Yuan Xi's neck and force him to order the troops to withdraw.

Yuan Xi wiped the saliva off his face, stared at Tian Feng in disgust, and said nothing.Yuan Xi loves to be clean, but he was sprayed with saliva by the skinny and rude old man in front of him again and again. He couldn't bear it anymore. When Tian Feng closed his mouth to catch his breath, he yelled at Tian Feng. Throat, "You idiot, don't you know that my father is in command of this battle? If I could make the decision, I would still sit here and endure your accusations and insults?"

Tian Feng was stunned, and half of his anger was extinguished immediately.

"I also want to withdraw the army, I also want to give up Junyi and Kaifeng, but I want to live more, and I want to use my head to eat for a few years." Yuan Xi stood up, pulled off the seal on his body, and slammed it on the field. Feng's feet, "If you want to die, just order the withdrawal."

"Xianyi, what are you doing?" Kuai Yue asked in horror, "The battle is at a critical moment, how can you play childish temper?"

"I don't want to die." Yuan Xijun's face was ferocious, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, "I know you look down on me, and I know you want to drive me away. I will leave now, and I will leave immediately. I will The power to command the army is entrusted to you, and you can do whatever you want."

Yuan Xi kicked the desk away and angrily walked out of the lobby.When he came to Tian Feng's side, he stopped suddenly, bent down to pick up his seal, and handed it to Tian Feng respectfully, "Sir, I don't hate you, but you know, if you do this, you will leave me alone." I gave it away with my own life.”

"Hmph..." Tian Feng sneered, "The country is about to perish, what do I need this life for?"

Yuan Xi gritted his teeth, turned around and left.

"Xianyi, where are you going?" Kuai Yue chased out of the lobby and shouted loudly.

"Nanyang."

Yuan Xi left, and Tian Feng temporarily assumed command power.

The coalition forces abandoned Junyi and Kaifeng, and all [-] troops retreated.Wenpin and Jiang Qi were ordered to pack lightly and travel lightly, and the [-] troops rushed to the Zhongmou and Guandu areas overnight.

Under the command of Qu Yi, Yan Liang, and Zhao Yun, the [-] troops from Northern Xinjiang reached the east bank of the Honggou River as quickly as possible, quickly erected a pontoon bridge, and launched a fierce attack on Guandu.

Under the command of Huang Zhong and Wu Zheng, the five thousand allied forces defended Guandu to the death.

In the early morning, Gao Lan and Lei Zhong led the army to rush into Guandu. Qin Yi's Yueqi battalion and Chen Jian's infantry battalion attacked from the two wings, advancing step by step.The soldiers on both sides fought bloody battles, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.Yuan Shao's general Wu Zheng was killed in battle, and the [-] allied soldiers were almost killed and wounded. Guandu was about to fall.

At this moment, Tian Feng and Kuai Yue came from Zhongmu City with soldiers from the [-] supply battalion to support them.Although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the supply battalion is not strong, at this time, it doesn't matter how many people die if they can block for a moment.

When the sun rose, Wenpin and Jiang Qi led the army to arrive, and 2 people, encouraged by the sound of rumbling drums, marched frantically.

The northern army did not expect the rebels to come back so quickly, they were caught off guard and were beaten back again and again.Zhao Yun hastily commanded some of the soldiers of the Huqi Battalion who had already crossed the chasm to rush to the enemy's formation, covering the vanguard and retreating to the chasm.

Qu Yi ordered the attack to stop, and Chen Bing confronted the rebels across the river on the west bank of the Honggou River.

The next day, when Qu Yi was about to attack again, the scout's report made him immediately cancel the attack order.The rebels had already abandoned Junyi and Kaifeng, retreated across the board, and missed the opportunity to attack Guandu and Zhongmou.

On the same day, Lu Bu and Fan Li each commanded armies to station in Junyi and Kaifeng, and then slowly approached Zhongmou City.

On the same day, Gao Shun received an order to lead an army of infantry to retreat to Chenliu and Yongqiu.Yan Rou led the iron cavalry to continue to block the enemy in the Xiangyi area.

When the news reached Xuchang, Yuan Shao was furious and furious.

A random attack launched by the Northern Xinjiang Army, which was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, actually destroyed the second line of defense. This was something no one expected.Is the coalition so vulnerable?The second line of defense was destroyed, which severely damaged the morale of the coalition forces, and even destroyed the excellent situation brought about by the alliance with Xuchang half a month ago.

The second line of defense was destroyed. The fundamental reason was that Yuan Xi obeyed Yuan Shao's order and did not adjust his forces to support Cao Cao in time when he discovered that the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army had moved to the northern wing battlefield and the situation on the entire battlefield had changed. As a result, Cao Cao could only shrink his defense , The troops stationed on both sides of the Jishui River were transferred back to the city.As a result, Yuan Jun in the direction of Sanling Pavilion lost his flank protection, and the Northern Xinjiang Army seized the opportunity to successfully break through, and the entire defense line of the coalition army collapsed immediately.

But Yuan Shao put all the blame on Cao Cao and Liu Bei. He believed that the destruction of the second line of defense was caused by Cao Cao and Liu Bei's rapid withdrawal of troops in order to preserve their strength. He was furious and said that he would kill Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Ju Shou didn't dare to speak out to persuade him, so he had to remind him in a low voice that Cao Cao and Liu Bei's troops were less damaged. At this moment, our army has retreated to the third line of defense. The line of defense collapsed again.

Yuan Shao calmed down a little.Since Cao Cao and Liu Bei cannot be moved now, this tone can only be spread on Tian Feng and Yuan Xi.Yuan Shao ordered that Yuan Xi be arrested immediately and temporarily imprisoned in Nanyang Wancheng on the charge of fleeing.

Yuan Shao hesitated whether to arrest Tian Feng.Because after Yuan Xi left Zhongmu, he handed over the command to Tian Feng.In the precarious situation at that time, Tian Feng's handling was appropriate. If he hadn't decisively ordered the army to retreat to the third line of defense, Zhongmou would have been lost by now, and the tens of thousands of troops had also been surrounded by the Northern Army in Junyi and Hebei. Kaifeng line.The only thing that can be blamed on Tian Feng is that he ordered the army to retreat without his own consent, but it is too far-fetched to arrest Tian Feng with this reason.

Thinking of the letter from Tian Feng he received a few days ago, Yuan Shao became very angry.Tian Feng publicly accused him in the letter, he almost didn't open his mouth to scold him.After this person stayed in the Luoyang North Temple Prison for a while, his anger did not decrease, but even worse.The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more angry he became, trying to find a better reason to take him back to Luoyang.

At this time, Xu You returned to Xuchang. He failed in anything, and was scolded by Yuan Shao who was still angry.After Yuan Shao vented a bit, his mood stabilized a little, and he discussed with Xu You about the battlefield in the Central Plains.

Xu You advised him to rush to Henan to take command in person.This time Cao Cao and Liu Bei had to abandon the entire line of defense due to their own selfishness. Next time, the two of them will hand over Henan to Li Hong.In addition, Tian Feng is no longer available, so he must be arrested and sent to Luoyang immediately.Xu You then told Yuan Shao that Tian Feng's family members were well taken care of in Jizhou and that his son was working in the Julu County Mansion of Jizhou.

"Li Hong asked me to speak to Tian Feng on his behalf, saying that if you can't stay in Luoyang, you can go back to Jizhou. After you go back, Li Hong promises to give him at least a prefect." Xu You said coldly, "I asked Li Hong, what about you?" There has been contact in the past few years. Li Hong said no. How is it possible? Many officials in Luoyang who borrowed from Jizhou have contact with their families, and there are always several letters to and from each year. Although Tian Feng is a senior official in Luoyang, according to regulations, contact is not allowed His family, but do you know that he has never contacted him? If he hadn’t contacted him, how could he be so familiar with Hebei’s New Deal? Moreover, he repeatedly talked about the benefits of Hebei’s New Deal in front of adults and us. What do you mean? Isn’t it obvious? From my point of view, after this war, regardless of whether we win or lose, Tian Feng will defect to Hebei. His life is in danger. Why is he still staying in Luoyang? Is he an idiot willing to stretch his neck to give You cut it? Tian Feng’s talent is obvious to all, plus he once saved Li Hong’s life, he will definitely be reused by Li Hong when he arrives in Hebei, and we will meet a strong opponent at that time.”

Yuan Shao became angry when he heard this, "Here's an order to arrest Tian Feng and take him to Luoyang. When we win this battle, I want him to take a good look at what is so clever about Hebei's New Deal?"

At the beginning of July, Yuan Shao let Liu Biao and Jushou sit in Xuchang, and he took Fengji, Xu You, Yuan Zhong and others north to Zhongmou.

When he arrived in Zhongmu, Yuan Shao did not enter the city, but went directly to Guandu to inspect the army.

Kuai Yue, Deng Yi, Xin Ping, Gao Gan, Xin Pi, Jiang Qi, Liu Pan and other military and political officials came out of the camp to greet them.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Yuan Shao asked Xin Ping, "Where are Prime Minister Cao and Liu Cheqi? Are you sick?"

Xin Ping sneered, "Prime Minister and General Zuo Cheqi felt ashamed to see you, and led a large army to station near Putianze on the west side of Guandu, about ten miles away from here."

"Oh?" Yuan Shao looked at him in surprise, "Why not let them station in Guandu?"

"It's just two villains." Xin Ping said disdainfully, "After I returned to Zhongmou with them, Yuan Hao once planned to let them be stationed at the front line of Guandu, but both of them refused on the spot at the same time, and insisted on setting up another battalion to station Near Yupu Tianze. The reason is very simple, nothing more than worrying that we will eat them in one bite."

"It's safe for them to be stationed in Putianze?" Yuan Shao's face showed anger, "It seems that if I invite them to Guandu to discuss matters, they won't come?"

"In all likelihood, they won't come." Xin Ping nodded and said, "After Cao Hong brought 1 people south to Yuzhou, they only had about 3 people, but this time they lost a lot in Yuanwu and Yangwu. There are more than 2 people, of course they have this kind of worry. In addition, what happened to Yuan Hao shocked them a lot." Xin Ping looked at Yuan Shao, but did not say the following words.

Tian Feng arbitrarily ordered to abandon Junyi and Kaifeng, and retreat to Zhongmou. Although he kept the third line of defense, it is also true that he violated the military order.On the battlefield, the commanding power of the commander-in-chief is limited.Tian Feng had the right to recruit troops from Junyi and Kaifeng to return to aid, but he had no right to order the abandonment of Junyi and Kaifeng.Judging from the present, Tian Feng's decisive order to withdraw from Junyi and Kaifeng was indeed a bit hasty. He could be bolder and still leave some troops to garrison Junyi and Kaifeng.Although doing so would not have any impact on the overall situation, at most it would just kill more people on the Guandu battlefield, but at least he did not violate the military order, and he could make his own merits outweigh his faults.

"Do you think that there is no reason for the imperial court to arrest Tian Feng?" Yuan Shao understood Xin Ping's meaning and immediately asked, "Do the prime minister and Zuo Cheqi think that Tian Feng's meritorious service has been arrested, and they are even more so?" Is the future uncertain?"

Xin Ping looked at the group of military and political officials who followed behind, and said with a wry smile: "When I was ordered to arrest Yuan Hao, the prime minister, General Zuo Cheqi, Yidu (Kui Yue) and others were very angry, and they were very angry with the court... ..." He looked at Yuan Shao and said in a low voice, "I also have big opinions on my lord."

"Hmph..." Yuan Shao sneered, "When Tian Feng ordered the army to withdraw from Junyi and Kaifeng, he should have known how serious a crime he had committed. Does he still have any complaints? Did he say anything?"

Xin Ping sighed and shook his head.

Yuan Shao glanced at him suspiciously, then turned his head and asked Gao Gan, "Did Tian Feng say anything before being escorted to Luoyang?"

"He said that the Great War in the Central Plains will be defeated, the great Han society will be destroyed, and your lord's life will be in danger." Gao Gan said bitterly, "It's because of his mouth that Lord Tian lost his head."

Yuan Shao's eyes were murderous, and the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily.
