Chapter One Hundred and Twenty First Climb the Dead
Yecheng.
In the General of the Carriage, the lights were hung high, the wine was filled with air, and the atmosphere was very lively. A grand banquet was underway.
From last year to this year, in just one year, Yuan Shao successively won Qingzhou and half of Bingzhou, defeated Gongsun Zan repeatedly, and defeated the Black Mountain bandits. The results of various battles were rewarded with great results.
Yuan Shao, who was proud and satisfied, was in a great mood and held a banquet in this mansion to celebrate.
In the brightly lit lobby, Yuan Shaogao sat on his head, looked proud and proud, and frequently accepted the congratulations and praises from the group.
In a pleasant atmosphere, Yuan Tan stood up and smiled and said with a smile: "My father has taken over almost the three states. Soon, my third brother wants to marry the daughter of the Zhen family again. It is really a happy event. I am here to congratulate my father and congratulate him."
"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord~~" The members of the lord also raised their glasses to join in.
Yuan Shao was very excited and couldn't suppress his complacent feelings. He laughed loudly, raised his glass happily, and drank it all with the crowd.
In the lobby, Yuan Shao was so energetic and confident that he was as if the whole of Hebei and even the sky were already under his control.
At this time, a hurried footsteps disrupted the harmonious atmosphere.
A personal army rushed in, headed straight to the steps, bowed and shouted: "Report to the young master, the Zhen family of Quliang has an urgent report. Yesterday, the second young master led his army to suddenly enter the Zhen Mansion and snatched the daughter of the Zhen family."
As soon as this news came out, the originally lively lobby suddenly became silent, and smiling faces suddenly attacked by surprise.
The wine glass that Yuan Shao raised to his mouth also solidified in the air, and the slightly scented wine-smelling face burst into a shock.
Immediately afterwards, another personal army hurried in and exclaimed: "Report to the young master, Pingyuan made a detailed report. A few days ago, the imperial envoy Han Rong arrived at Pingyuan and appointed the second prince as the governor of Qingzhou in the name of the emperor. General Zhendong and Marquis of Gaotang."
Another thunder thunder struck into the hall, and everyone looked mutinious.
Just when they had not had time to taste the amazing news, the third urgent report was sent again.
"Reported to the lord, Pingyuan reported secretly. The second young master detained General Gao and refused to hand over the military and political power of Qingzhou. He even secretly gathered troops and horses, not knowing what he intended."
As soon as the third urgent report came out, the lobby was immediately in an uproar.
All the staff were shocked. All the wine was swept away, and the entire lobby was in panic due to these three shocking urgent reports.
Yuan Shao's expression was even more frozen in a moment of horror. The blue veins surged on his face, the breath in his nose became heavier, and the emotions of shock and anger were burning in his heart, just like the flames, and it became more and more prosperous.
Everyone's mind is occupied by a question:
Second Young Master Yuan Fang, what do he want to do?
He was first granted the title of Qingzhou by the emperor, and then detained the senior officials, refusing to hand over the delivery power. Without any warning, he suddenly rushed to the Zhen family and snatched away the daughter of the Zhen family who should have married Yuan Xi...
All kinds of things happened in just a few days. Yuan Fang's series of actions were like a rebellion!
In a state of suspicion and shock, Xu You woke up first and bowed and shouted: "Lord, something is not good. The second young master is going to rebel openly!"
Xu You's cry woke everyone, including Yuan Shao, upset from surprise.
They finally couldn't believe it, but they had to believe it. The second son of the Yuan family actually rebelled.
Although there was a rumor that Yuan Fang was suspected of having a military force in Ye City before, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was someone who disliked Yuan Fang and was deliberately creating a rumor.
Even many Yuan Tan's faction of people present participated in the rumors.
But even those rumor-mongers, including Yuan Tan, did not believe that Yuan Fang would really have the courage to rebel.
The shocking fact ruthlessly mocked all of them for their contempt for Yuan Fang
The illegitimate son who had been unknown for twenty years, was despised for twenty years, and had only risen for less than a year, dared to openly betray his father, and he actually rebelled.
Moreover, he also received the emperor's imperial edict and entrusted the post of governor of Qingzhou, which obviously had a premeditation.
At this moment, all of them felt that they had been fooled by Yuan Fang.
"Rebellious son!"
Yuan Shao finally became furious and threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground.
Seeing this, Xu You took advantage of the situation and said, "Lord, it seems that his subordinates' previous speculation is indeed good. Yuan Fangguo has the intention to rebel, otherwise how could he secretly deceive the emperor's seal?"
Yuan Shao became more angry and gritted his teeth and said angrily: "This deceitful and shameless rebellious son, I trust him so much. He dared to betray me. He is seeking death!"
"Father, Yuan Fang is a kid who is ruthless and dares to betray the Yuan family. He is willing to lead his troops to Qingzhou to clear the door for our Yuan family." Yuan Tan jumped out decisively and asked for a fight indignantly.
When he saw the opportunity, he thought he could take advantage of the name of trying to pacify Yuan Fang, seize Qingzhou and regain his prestige, so he naturally wanted to jump out.
Betrayed by his own son is a great shame, how could Yuan Shao tolerate it?
Yuan Shao, who was angry and embarrassed, shouted sternly: "I will give you 20,000 elite soldiers. You can set off immediately. Be sure to kill the rebellious son for me and clean up the door for my Yuan family!"
"Son, obey the order." Yuan Tan responded indignantly.
After receiving Yuan Shao's orders, Yuan Tan immediately retreated and dispatched troops to prepare to pacify Qingzhou and quell the rebellion of Yuan Fang.
"Yuan Fang, you a bad guy, didn't expect you to go back to Yecheng obediently and dare to resist. This time, I will wipe you with my own hands!"
...
Early that morning, Yuan Fang returned to Pingyuan City with the stolen Zhen Mi.
During the two days when Yuan Fang was away, his subordinates were as stable as usual, and the soldiers arranged according to the plan in an orderly manner. Although the scholars and citizens were surprised by the news of Yuan Fang's independence, they did not cause any major turmoil.
With the equal importance of kindness and power, Yuan Fang's prestige in the army has been deeply rooted, and naturally he only obeys his 30,000 soldiers under his command.
As for the people under his jurisdiction, Yuan Fang reduced taxes and used military farming to support the army, and did not add to the burden on the people. In addition, he punished corruption and governed with clear governance. All kinds of things won the hearts of the scholars and the people.
People's hearts surrendered, and Yuan Fang had the emperor's imperial edict, and the righteousness was in hand. The soldiers and civilians of Qingzhou naturally followed Yuan Fang willingly.
After returning to Pingyuan City, Yuan Fang placed Zhen Mi and immediately summoned his staff to continue to make arrangements for the challenge.
"Lord, the information from Yecheng has been sent. Yuan Shao was furious when he heard that his lord was independent and ordered Yuan Tan to lead two generals Ju Yi and Chun Yu Qiong to lead 20,000 troops to attack." Hao Zhao sent the latest information.
Yuan Fang looked as usual, without any surprise. Yuan Shao's dispatch of troops was already as expected.
"I thought Yuan Shao would bring his troops to me personally, but I didn't expect that he would only send Yuan Tan." Yuan Fang was a little surprised by this.
Guo Jia played with the wine gourd and said with a smile: "I'm afraid in Yuan Shao's eyes, it's as easy as killing his lord and strangling an ant. The lord is not worthy of letting him take action himself."
"Hmph, when it reaches this point, Yuan Shao still looks down on me, so let him pay the price." A trace of murderous intent suddenly surged up in the corner of Yuan Fang's mouth.
Yuan Tan repeatedly plots to murder him, and in the Yuan family, he oppresses and despises him the most is this guy.
Now that he dares to lead his army to invade, Yuan Fang is unable to ask for it, just so he can never return.
Hao Zhao nodded and said, "The Lord is right. Although Yuan Tan has 20,000 troops, we have 15,000 troops. It should be no problem to defeat him."
"Who said I'm going to wait for my leisure?" Yuan Fang's eyes shot in murderous intent and said proudly: "I will take the initiative to attack, break into Qinghe, and give his beloved son a headache on Yuan Shao's territory."
Yuan Fang should use defense instead of attack and take the initiative to attack.
Hao Zhao's expression moved slightly and reminded: "Yuan Tan has 20,000 troops, but he has two generals under his command, so he should not be underestimated."
"Chunyu Qiong is just relying on the information to be able to hold a high position under Yuan Shao's command. He is no match for the lord at all." Guo Jia drank a sip of wine and made a disdainful judgment on Chunyu Qiong.
Yuan Fang deeply agreed. As far as he knew, Chunyu Qiong was a colleague of Yuan Shao when he was the Eighth School Captain in Xiyuan. He was of equal qualifications. However, there was no highlight in the battles in Hebei. It was obvious that it was because of his qualifications that Yuan Shao was valued.
"Although Chunyu Qiong is not enough to worry about it, Ju Yi's strength cannot be underestimated. His eight hundred first-level death warriors are really good. Gongsun Zan's white horse is overthrown in his hands." Hao Zhao said solemnly.
Hao Zhao's words reminded Yuan Fang that how heavy Ju Yi is, how could Yuan Fang not pay attention to it?
If Ju Yi had not been in the Battle of Jieqiao, Jizhou would have probably already had the surname Gongsun Zan. The super combat power of the first death warrior would be enough to make any enemy frightened.
"If you want to defeat Yuan Tan quickly, you must defeat the first to climb the dead soldiers. This surprise soldier is indeed a tough trick to crack." Guo Jia thought about it and was also worried.
At this time, Yuan Fang, who had been pondering, had a strange smile on his face: "Yuan Tan has the first to ascend the dead soldiers. Have you forgotten that we also have a surprise soldier?"
A surprise?
Hao Zhao was confused for a moment and could not think of the implication of Yuan Fangyan.
Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he patted his forehead and said, "Oh, lord, is it that the lord is talking about Gao Shun's camp? I almost forgot about this."
The righteousness of the sage is indeed powerful, and it is also true that the first to climb the dead soldiers. The battle of Jieqiao destroyed the White Horse Yicheng and has been influential from then on.
To deal with such a force similar to a special force, you must use the same elite surprise to restrain it.
Gao Shun's five hundred traps in the camp, the best thing is to charge and attack and fight, which is an elite force that is as famous as the first-time death warrior.
If you defeat the dead soldiers in the first place, you must be the trap camp.
Hao Zhao was first surprised, but then he said with concern: "Although the camp is strong, Gao Shun has been training for less than a month, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to exert its strength."
"Time doesn't wait for anyone. Whether Gao Shun can go to the battlefield depends on how capable Gao Shun is." Yuan Fang was extremely confident and was ready to ask someone to pass on Gao Shun.
At this moment, the personal army came to report and said that Gao Shun from the outside hall was asking for a meeting.
