Yuan Shao has three sons in total. The eldest son is Yuan Tan. He went to Qingzhou, and the second son Yuan Xi went to Youzhou. The third son Yuan Shang was born to a beautiful wife later. He was tall and big, and very handsome.
Yuan Shao liked him very much, so he kept him by his side and trained him himself.
After Yuan Shao was defeated by Guandu, he felt overwhelmed. At this time, Liu also came out to persuade Yuan Shao to establish his descendants. Yuan Shao would discuss with the four men, Feng Ji, Xin Ping, and Guo Tu, but these four men had their own problems.
When the two met, Xiang Fu Yuan Shang; Xin and Guo, Xiang Fu Yuan Tan, each of them was their leader.
Yuan Shao also knew this situation and said, "Now that external troubles have not subsided, this matter should be put on the agenda. I am going to make a descendant. I have the eldest son, I am a strong man, I like to kill, my second son, very much.
I am afraid I can't dominate the country. Only the third son looks like a hero, and I am a polite and polite person. I am going to establish him. What do you think?"
Guo Tu said: "Of the three sons, Yuan Tan is the oldest and has been guarding one side for a long time. If the lord abolishes the oldest and establishes the youngest, it is not in line with the etiquette system. Now our army
Morale was frustrated, and the enemy soldiers had already arrived in our territory. At this time, how can there be a situation where father, son and brother compete with each other in the territory? The lord should now concentrate on how to defeat Cao's army and establish a successor, so don't waste it again.
It's time."
Yuan Shao thought this analysis was reasonable, so hesitated. Suddenly someone came to report that Yuan Xi led an army of 60,000 from Youzhou, Yuan Tan brought an army of 50,000 from Qingzhou, and his nephew, senior official, was also
He brought 50,000 soldiers from Bingzhou and all came to Jizhou to assist in the battle and fight against Cao's army.
Yuan Shao felt very energetic, how could he organize his troops and fight Cao Cao again?
Cao Cao was stationed on the edge of the Yellow River with his victorious troops. Some local residents were greeted with food and drink.
Seeing that most of the other party were old people and their hair was gray, Cao Cao asked to sit in the camp and asked, "Old man, how old are you?"
He replied: "I am almost a hundred years old!"
Cao Cao said in shock: "We soldiers disturbed your hometown, and I really feel sorry for it."
The old man said: "During the reign of Emperor Huan, the celestial phenomena showed that Huang Xing was seen in Chu and Song. There was a Liaodong man who was very good at seeing celestial phenomena, named Yin Kui. He came to our place to stay and told us that Huang Xing was seen in Chu and Song.
Qianxiang just shines on our place. In another fifty years, a real person will rise between Liang Pei. According to this calculation, it will take a full fifty years. Yuan Shao has imposed heavy taxes on the people, and the people are already very resentful. The Prime Minister
Benevolent and righteous soldiers emerged to attack Yuan Shao for the people. In the battle of Guandu, they directly defeated Yuan Shao's millions of people, which just fulfilled Yin Kui's words at that time. To prosper the people, we have hope to return to peace."
Cao Cao was very happy after hearing this. You should know that Emperor Gaozu also had a story about killing the white snake before. This is a good omen, but he was still very modest in his face and said, "Where is as good as you said?" After that, he asked someone to take it.
I brought some daily necessities for the elderly, and then sent someone to take them back.
At the same time, a military rule was established in front of the three armies, which was: "If someone goes to the countryside to kill the people's chickens and dogs, it is a crime of murder."
After the military order was continued, both the soldiers and the people were very satisfied. Cao Cao's reputation was further improved, and he was also very happy.
At this time, someone suddenly reported that Yuan Shao had gathered a county and died, with about 200,000 to 300,000 and 300,000 people who had arrived at Cangting.
Cao Cao laughed and said, "I haven't gone to find them yet. They came to the door by themselves. It's really interesting." So he immediately ordered his troops to advance forward and found the place where they left the village.
On the second day, the two armies faced each other and formed a formation. Cao Cao brought his generals to the front, while Yuan Shao brought his three sons, nephews and civil and military officials to the front.
Cao Cao remembered the situation around Yuan Shao before, and compared it with the one in front of him, and smiled and said, "Yuan Shao, you have no one anymore, why don't you think about surrendering early, why don't you resist? Don't wait until I put it in.
If you put the knife on your neck, you will surrender. There will be no chance of regret."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao was furious and said to everyone: "Who dares to take action?"
Yuan Shang also heard that his father wanted to establish his descendants. In order to show himself, he waved his swords and first went to the front of the formation to challenge him. He came out and ran around in all directions. The formation was very strong.
Cao Cao pointed at the question and asked everyone, "Who is he? Do you know him?"
Someone knew about it and replied, "This person is Yuan Shao's son, named Yuan Shang."
Before he finished speaking, a general on Cao Cao's side could not wait and came out with a gun. Cao Cao saw that the man was a general under Xu Huang, named Shi Huan. The two fought for less than three rounds, Yuan Shang
He rode his horse and leaned over. Shi Huan rushed over. The other party suddenly took out a bow and arrow and turned around and shot it. Shi Huan was not prepared for it and was shot on the left eye and fell to the back of the horse and fell to death.
Yuan Shao was very happy to see his son win, so he pointed at Cao's army with a whip, and rushed forward. The two sides fought together, and then returned to their own camps.
Cao Cao and the generals began to discuss how to break Yuan Shao's plan. Cheng Yu offered Cao Cao a plan of ambushing on all sides, specifically, Cao's army retreated to the edge of the Yellow River first, then ambushed ten routes, and then lured Yuan Shao's team to the edge of the river.
Cheng Yu said: "In this way, our team has no way out and will definitely fight to the death. This will greatly improve its combat effectiveness, and it will be easy to defeat Yuan Shao."
Cao Cao accepted this suggestion and was divided into five teams, left: Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Li Jin, and Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan, right: Cao Hong, Zhang He, and Xu Huang, the third team.
, Four teams Yu Jin, and Five teams Gao Lan. Xu Chu of the Central Army was the vanguard, and ten teams went to the edge of the Yellow River first and entered an ambush according to the plan.
The next step was to implement the plan of seduction. In the evening, Cao Cao sent Xu Chu to advance with his troops and pretended to intercept Yuan Shao's camp. Yuan Shao seemed to be ready, and five people came out together to prepare to capture him.
Xu Chu turned around and left immediately. Yuan Shao followed his troops and horses and shouted loudly. The next morning, he rushed to the edge of the Yellow River and had no way out.
Cao Cao also stopped and shouted: "Now we have no way out. Why don't you fight to the death? There will be a glimmer of hope in this way."
So everyone turned around and stepped forward bravely, without any fear. Xu Chu was in front of him and killed more than a dozen young players at once.
