The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 110

As soon as I saw him come in with a livid face and lost his mind, I knew that he must have suffered a setback from his father.Asked tentatively; "Brother just came back, why is his face full of gloom, is he not optimistic about the war?" Yuan Tan walked to my side, tilting his head; "Do you think you are very optimistic?"

Yuan Tan suddenly smiled wryly; "Father has made up his mind, we can't do anything." I said, "Actually, we are blood brothers. It doesn't matter whoever sits on this chair, so why bother to worry about it?" Yuan Tan said in a daze "Second brother, what are you talking about? As the eldest son, I have no fault, so why should I obey my third son? I can't do it." I further asked, "What if my father insists on going his own way?" Tan's face twisted, and he said, "I don't know, anyway, I won't take orders from the third child." I wanted to be bad, and Yuan Tan couldn't let go of the airs of the eldest son. No matter what, he wouldn't go with Yuan Shang to a road.That being the case, there is only one way left to avoid brotherly killing.Only if Yuan Tan, the eldest son, ascended the throne, Jizhou will be convinced. Yuan Shang has nothing to say, and Cao Cao will not have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

I resolutely stated: "Don't worry, elder brother, I will do my best to support your ascension to the throne. However, after you ascend the throne, you must treat your third younger brother kindly, and you must not retaliate privately." Yuan Tan said excitedly; "Second brother, are you really Willing to stand on my side." I smiled wryly; "The three of us are brothers, we love and help each other the most, and I don't want to stand on my side." Yuan Tan said painfully; Three, he has no prestige, and second, he is not a legitimate son, so why should he inherit the title. I just can’t figure it out, and I’m in a panic.” It seems impossible for me to persuade Yuan Tan to give up the title. In the eyes of ordinary people, fame, fortune and wealth are more important than family love. There are many.Yuan Tan is also an ordinary person. It is normal for Yuan Tan to be overwhelmed by such unfair treatment, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The soldiers and horses of Qingjiyou and the four continents add up to more than 30. Among them, the most elite and the only one that has not suffered a disastrous defeat is the Youzhou cavalry.However, in order not to let others steal his limelight, Yuan Shang insisted that Qingzhou soldiers, Bingzhou and Youzhou soldiers, who were much better equipped than him, walk behind him.The judge persuaded Yuan Shang to gather the elites of the four prefectures and put him under unified command, but Feng Ji objected. Feng Ji's reason was that it was difficult for the troops to fight together if they were not from the same number. gone.Well-equipped, no matter how good the quality of an individual soldier is, it is useless not to obey the command.The judge said: "We can let Wen Chou and Gao Gan command them." Yuan Shang shook his head.It's not that he hasn't thought about these things, after much deliberation, he just can't do it.Originally, he wanted to use this expedition to intimidate senior generals such as Gao Gan and Wen Chou, so that they would not dare to underestimate him.At this moment, asking them to lead the troops again is not a slap in the face, nor is there a door.

The order of the Sizhai army is like this. First, Yuan Shang personally led the Jizhou army composed of his confidant generals, and then the high-ranking Bingzhou army.He was a little relieved of the senior officials, at least the senior officials could not pose a threat to his status.Then there is the elder brother's Qingzhou soldiers.The last one is the Youzhou Legion that is preparing to enter Liyang.It's a pity that this super powerful team is completely useless. It's really speechless to hide behind and watch the battle.

My father's body became weaker and he couldn't ride a horse, so he could only sit in a cart and follow the Chinese army.Guarding the central army was General Meng Dai, who had made great contributions to the extermination of the peasant army, and Chang Xi and Zhu Ling were in his team.Zhang Xiu was also included in the Chinese army. He was an idler. The old man and Yuan Shang obviously didn't trust him, and they didn't arrange a job for him at all. They only let him go with the army, and probably put him, the remnant of Dong Zhuo, in Jizhou. Don't worry.

Seven days later, the former army arrived at Cangting and my Youzhou army stationed in Liyang, the base camp. Pingnan Zhonglang General Jiang Yiqu, who was originally stationed in Liyang, was transferred out of the city.Wen Chou was even worse, he was still escorting the grain truck hundreds of miles away.The old man didn't know what to think, but let his chief general carry food in the back, and let Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, these wine bags and rice bags, go to the front.

Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan Gaogan continued to lead the army forward, and camped along the sand dunes along the bank for a hundred miles past Cangting.At this time, Cao Hong, Cao Cao's front vanguard, had also crossed the Yellow River and advanced a hundred miles forward to set up camp.The judge originally wanted to rush down to the bank before Cao Jun, so that he could give Cao Jun a hard blow when he was halfway across. In the end, the marching speed of the Jizhou soldiers made his plan come to naught.When the front of Jizhou and Cao Hong's troops encountered each other, Cao Hong had already been waiting for work, and had been waiting for him for a day and a night. Fortunately, Cao Hong did not receive Cao Cao's attack order. Otherwise, if he used elite cavalry to raid Cangting, the battle line would have advanced two hundred miles. Li Yang City is down.

Cao Hong did not act rashly, but set up defenses along the Yellow River, waiting for Cao Cao's large army to cross the river.Early the next morning, General Zhenwei Cheng Yu crossed the river from the south of Yanjin, and 8000 cavalry went straight to the north of Cangting City, eighty miles away.In this way, there is Cao Hong between Cheng Yu and the main force of our army. Its purpose is obvious. First, it can be used as an ambush, and second, it can attack Cangting at any time.Also stationed at Cangting was Yuan Shang's confidant, Cavalry Captain Han Juzi.Cangting is not big, so there are not many soldiers left, less than [-].Han Juzi can be regarded as a strong general, but he is not good at defending the city, so he began to be a little scared.Send people to Yuan Shang for emergency.Yuan Shang was here wholeheartedly waiting for Cao Cao's decisive battle. Hearing that Cheng Yu only had about [-] soldiers in his hands, he was not worried at all, and only sent [-] reinforcements.When Cheng Yu heard the spies' report, he felt relieved. There was no need to fight this battle, Yuan Shao had already lost.

Outside Liyang City, there is a moat and guard river. The river channel is connected with the Yellow River. The water flow is turbulent, roaring and roaring.
On the third day after the Black Dragon Riders entered Liyang, news came from the former army that Cao Cao had crossed the Yellow River with a large group of troops. There were countless cavalry and infantry, about 60 to [-], and they had an advantage over our army in terms of strength.

That day, I left Hao Zhao and Hu Che'er to guard the city, and hurried to the Cangting North Camp by myself.The camps were arranged in strict accordance with the Art of War book. There were [-] or [-] camps scattered around the commander's tent, each occupying the most high ground, effectively controlling all roads that the enemy cavalry could pass quickly.Standing on the high slope, I can see from a distance that the banners in Cao Cao's camp are clear and orderly. Teams of cavalry and infantry are patrolling and cruising with neat and sonorous steps, full of energy.

I rode a horse to the tent of the Chinese army. My father, elder brother, Gao Gan, Yuan Shang, Guo Tu Sui Yuanjin, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, and other generals were looking at the marching map and studying the strategy of marching. They were all quite surprised to see me coming in.

Yuan Shang frowned and said, "Second brother is not guarding Liyang, why did he come here?" I thought to myself that now is not the time to argue with him, so I said, "I saw Cheng Yu's troops advancing to Cangting South Village, with a very serious intention. Obviously, they want to cut off our army's retreat, and they should be removed as soon as possible, otherwise it will become a stumbling block."

The judge had already explained this trivial matter in his eloquent analysis of the situation between the enemy and us, and then repeated it impatiently; "Second Young Master, don't worry about the idiot Cheng Yu, even if he conquers Cangting, it will be useless at all, because Young Master Your army is in Liyang, that is, in his rear, if he attacks Cangting, he will be sent into the pocket formation by himself, and will be trapped in a situation of being attacked on both sides. This strategy can only deceive ordinary people, but it cannot deceive me. Match, look at it, I dare to conclude that those 5000 people are just a suspicious soldier, a trick used by Cao Cao. Let's leave him alone, and when the main force of Cao's army is defeated, he will naturally withdraw."

Fucking idiot, you still don't know how powerful Cheng Yu's ambush plan is. He wants to capture Cangting, and he wants to surround the main force of our army.

"Father, what if Cheng Yu takes a detour from the south of Cangting and attacks the rear of our army?" I was sweating anxiously.

"Second brother don't have to worry about this. Forgive him for what he can do with a mere five thousand soldiers. Even if he takes a detour to attack our army's rear, it will only be an ant shaking an elephant and asking for trouble." Yuan Shang The eyes are full of light.Seems confident in this fight.

I shook my head and said, "Third brother, you didn't understand me." I walked over and pointed to the marching map on the wall and said, "The terrain near Cangting is too complicated. There are dense forests on the left and hilly areas on the right. I It's because I'm afraid that Cheng Yu will set up ambushes in these places and lead our army into the siege."

Feng Ji was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and said, "Second Young Master, did I hear correctly? Cheng Yu led our army into the shortlist near Cangting. It seems a bit unbelievable. First, our army is advancing at this moment, the direction No, he set up an ambush in the warehouse pavilion, is he trying to cut off our army's food road. That's not right, the food road is not in that direction. Second, with only five thousand soldiers ambushing an army of 30, did Cheng Yu lose his mind?"

I looked at Feng Ji and said with a sneer, "What if our army is defeated? By then, Cheng Yu's five thousand troops will be the army of tigers and wolves. 30 soldiers with no fighting spirit may not be the opponent of 5000."

"Father, our army has hundreds of thousands of people. Cheng Yu sneaked into the rear of our army. If we bring too many soldiers, we will definitely not ignore it. We will attack with all our strength. I hope he will resist it, so Cheng Yu only brings five thousand soldiers." The soldier wanted our army to underestimate the enemy, so that he could take advantage of the situation to ambush and kill the enemy when our army was defeated." When I was in a hurry, I was a little incoherent and slipped my mouth.

"Shut up, you are too outrageous, openly affecting the morale of the army in public." Yuan Shang was furious; "For the sake of you being my brother, I will forgive you once, and if you want to speak rudely in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless." .”

Father said sharply: "Cao Bing is about to fall, why did my son say such ominous words, why don't you hurry back to Liyang, go down, and don't come to Cangting camp without being summoned in the future, so as not to delay the business."
