Where is Yuan Shao? He is still struggling among the rebels. He no longer dares to ride his horse, he no longer dares to wear his bright armor, and he no longer dares to wear his helmet. His hair is disheveled, he is wearing an undergarment, and is being supported by more than a dozen personal guards.
Then he stumbled and fled with the defeated soldiers.
If he hadn't recently recruited a strong man with strong martial arts skills, he would have been trampled to death by his own soldiers, and he would not have been able to run ten miles away.
However, the enemy's cavalry were still coming and going, especially those knights with both men and horses. It was a bloody road every time they walked through it. If they hadn't reacted quickly and dismounted and taken off their armor earlier, they would have been beheaded.
Apart from being bullied as a child, has he ever been so embarrassed since he was adopted?
"Liu Yicheng, if you don't avenge me, you won't be a human being!"
People really couldn't stand talking about it, so Yuan Shao cursed angrily, not loudly, but Liu Xiang appeared not long after.
He didn't recognize Yuan Shaolai, but he was attracted by this small group of soldiers, especially the big man who was more than eight feet tall and had a huge back. He was so conspicuous that he was much taller than the people around him.
Through the telescope, Liu Xiang clearly saw him holding two swords, slashing the defeated soldiers all the way, forcibly cutting a bloody path, and leading this small group of soldiers to escape to the south.
Even if this man is not protecting a big shot, he is still a big fish, and he might be able to be recruited under his command. This kind of strong man is naturally good material for going into battle to kill the enemy.
The plan to kill Yuan Shao failed, so we could only look for some relics among the defeated army to make up for the losses.
With a passion for talent, he chased after her.
It is really not difficult for the cavalry to chase the infantry. Su Wei galloped for a while and caught up with Yuan Shao and others. After a circle of war horses, his heart dropped. My life was at stake! I just wanted to tidy up my appearance and admit my identity calmly. Even if I die, I will die.
Don't die too embarrassed.
But Liu Xiang's words stopped his movements.
"Whose name is that man? Are you willing to surrender?"
Didn't you recognize him? Maybe you can get through. He and Liu Xiang have never met before. Maybe you can conceal your identity, sneak into the enemy camp first, and then find an opportunity to escape.
In his mind, he had already conceived a wonderful drama about escaping from the enemy camp and making a comeback.
But things don't go as planned. You don't know what tricks your pig teammates will do.
"I won't change my name in business, or my surname in office. My name is Wen Chou. I am from Anping, Jizhou. The Liu thieves have robbed my family's property. You don't want me to work for you. I am willing to fight to the death with my lord." Wen Chou glared angrily and spoke righteously, especially
He is extremely powerful and unyielding. He holds the two swords tightly and will fight to the death.
"Who is your master?" Liu Xiang glanced at the middle-aged man with disheveled hair, muddy shoes and dirt on his body. His clothes were disheveled and his cuffs were torn. He looked extremely embarrassed.
Don't know.
In the Han Dynasty, retainers called their lord too many times, and he really didn't guess that this person was Yuan Shao.
Yuan Benchu had cavalry, but it was impossible to walk when escaping. He could not run very far on foot. The generals escaped on horseback. The most typical example is Boss Cao, Xingyang was defeated, Cao Hong gave up his horse, Wancheng was defeated, Cao Ang gave up his horse, and he had no horse.
What a waste of time.
He really didn't expect that there was a surprise waiting for him.
Wen Chou replied with great pride: "The model of scholar is Yuan Benchu of Runan."
Yuan Shao's old blood surged up and he almost lost his breath.
Liu Xiang smiled and couldn't help but praise: "Well, he is strong and unyielding. He is indeed a loyal and righteous man. If Yuan Jun has such a strong man by his side, he should die without regrets, right?"
This made people look for him thousands of times, but when they suddenly looked back, they were hiding in Wen Chou's figure.
Hiding behind the tall and strong Wen Chou, with his hair disheveled, he really didn't recognize him. After all, he had only seen Yuan Shao's portrait, not the person.
Seeing that he could no longer hide, Yuan Shao pushed back his disheveled hair, revealed his face, smoothed out his moustache, straightened his clothes, walked forward generously, and bowed his hands: "I am Yuan Shao of Runan. See you.
Pass Liu Qiaoqi."
"I've met Brother Benchu." Liu Xiang returned the favor while sitting on his horse, and asked again: "Brother Benchu, are you willing to surrender?"
"I only wish to die."
Liu Xiang nodded: "Okay, as you wish."
He raised his hand, and Su Wei held the bow and arrow, waved his palm down, and fired the arrow, killing Yuan Shao and more than a dozen of his guards instantly.
If the king does not see the king, if he does, he will die.
Both of them knew in their hearts that neither could tolerate the other. It was useless to beg for mercy, but would only lose their dignity.
There is no need to go into details about chasing down defeated soldiers, gathering prisoners, and cleaning up the battlefield.
Yuan Shao's 30,000-strong army, accompanied by 20,000 soldiers and civilians, were completely defeated in one battle. Anping's army pursued them for 30 miles, killed the general, killed more than 15,000 enemies, took 30,000 prisoners, captured 500 war horses, 3,000 armors, and powerful crossbows.
Two thousand, more than ten thousand bows and arrows, and more than thirty thousand stones of grain and grass.
Zhang Xun was anxious to return aid, but Liu Xiang would not refuse. The next day, he escorted the prisoners and marched westward. Yuan Shao's body was also sorted out and put into a coffin. A large amount of salt was added to prevent it from rotting.
He and Hui Hui were pulled by a carriage to accompany the army, hoping to use him to break up the alliance between Cao Cao and Liu Biao.
It was nearly 200 miles from Gushi to Pingyu. The army was escorting prisoners and carrying baggage, and it would take six days to arrive. Liu Xiang did not lead the cavalry first, using the excuse of being cavalry. The horses galloped for more than 400 miles. They were extremely exhausted and needed to
rest.
In fact, it was because he didn't want to see Yuan Shu still alive.
The Yuan family in Runan is divided and cannot unite its forces, so that other princes have the opportunity to participate in the game of world hegemony. Now that Yuan Shao is dead, Yuan Shu cannot survive alone. He will become powerful and become a threat to himself.
If Cao Cao and Liu Biao still can't defeat Pingyu in half a month, they will have to do it themselves. It will harm their reputation. I hope they can perform well and not be looked down upon like useless people.
The results showed that Lao Cao and Lao Liu were still very capable. When Liu Xiang and Zhang Xun's coalition forces arrived at Pingyu City, the city had been breached for several days and Yuan Shu was dead.
Lao Cao was Yuan Shao's childhood friend, so how could he not understand what Yuan Benchu meant? He couldn't be allowed to see Yuan Jiujiu alive because he didn't want to bear the notoriety of killing his brother.
I have to say that Cao Mengde is good at getting things done. Liu Xiang is very happy. You are the biggest threat in the world now.
Therefore, he wanted to talk to Cao Cao.
He and Zhang Xun combined 30,000 people, but they couldn't attack the city where 70,000 enemy troops were stationed. The enemy had set up a fortress outside the city that looked very strong at first glance. There was one camp for each city, standing at the corner. It was definitely impossible to defeat them.
Moving.
While mobilizing the infantry of the Chinese army in Yingchuan to go south, he also sent someone to deliver a message to Cao Cao who was stationed in the camp outside the city. Liu Xiang sincerely wanted to talk to him.
If Lao Cao can be persuaded to surrender, he is confident that the troubled times will end within a few years.
The original history was that from 189 when Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor and ushered in the chaos of the late Han Dynasty, to 280 when Sun Hao surrendered to the Jin Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty unified the world, the war lasted for nearly a hundred years, with more than 50 million people dying.
There are more than 7.5 million left.
Too bad!
If he could end the troubled times as soon as possible and give the people time to recuperate, he would not mind giving Cao Cao some honor.
Yuan Shao's body and the letter inviting negotiations were sent to Cao Cao's camp.
Holding Liu Xiang's letter and looking at Yuan Shao lying in the coffin, he had mixed feelings, which made him shed tears. The smell of salted fish was too strong!
Yuan Benchu was his friend since childhood. Although they have drifted apart over the years, he is still his ally. Now that Yuan Shao is dead, he is very sad, but he feels inexplicably relaxed in his heart.
Because Yuan Shu also died, the direct line of the Yuan family in Runan was extinct, and the best family in the world came to an end.
He knows the energy of the Yuan family very well. Although he has been dissatisfied with Yuan Shao in recent years, he has never dared to resist. The Yuan family has the power to kill him at any time. Many of his subordinates defected to him because of the Yuan family. Everyone knows that
He knew full well that he was supported by Yuan Shao.
Now that he is dead and his shackles are gone, it is both sad and relaxing.
But looking at Liu Xiang's letter, he couldn't be happy. This man was not a good person. Liu Biao, who was invited to the camp to discuss the matter, also frowned.
Both of them had served as Liu Xiang's subordinates. When Yuan Shao took the lead, things were fine. But now that they were facing this ever-victorious general, they suddenly felt a great deal of pressure in their hearts.
"Brother Jingsheng, I was defeated at the beginning and all the reinforcements were lost. Where should we go? What do you think?"
"Brother Meng De wants to negotiate with Liu Qiaoqi?"
"An old friend invited me, why don't you go?"
Liu Biao was silent. I am also an old friend. Why didn't you invite me?
