The night is already deep.
Yuan Jun, Zhongjun Zhang.
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of the Yuan family, was cooking and drinking with Guo Tu.
"I have sent people on flying horses to report the news of Wen Chou's unauthorized withdrawal to the lord. I believe your bad breath, eldest lord, will come out soon."
Guo Tu stroked his short beard with a secretly proud look on his face.
Yuan Tan looked delighted and raised his glass: "Sir, this plan of killing two birds with one stone is indeed a wonderful one. I respect you sir."
Guo Tu chuckled and drank from his glass.
"I see that Yan Liang has lost a lot of troops today. Why don't I mobilize all my troops tomorrow, attack Wancheng in one fell swoop, and kill Yan Liang to avenge the bloodshed." Yuan Tan wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and gritted his teeth.
Guo Tu said, "Of course we want to kill Yan Liang, the thief, but there is no need for the eldest son to rush. We should order Wen Chou to attack tomorrow. After more Yan Liang's soldiers and horses are consumed, it will not be too late for the eldest son to send troops."
Yuan Tan nodded, deeply agreed, and laughed and said: "Sir, you are right, come, let's drink."
The atmosphere in the big tent was lively.
Just as Yuan Tan was getting more and more interested in drinking, he suddenly heard a noise outside the tent, as if a sergeant was shouting.
Yuan Tan was suspicious, and when he was about to send someone to check, a sergeant hurried in and shouted in panic: "Sir, my army's grain farm has been burned down, and there is a fire."
"What!"
Yuan Tan was shocked and rushed out of the tent. As expected, flames shot up from the direction of the grain store in the back camp. It seemed as if tens of thousands of grains and grass were burned in an instant.
Guo Tu, who followed out later, also changed his expression and asked suspiciously: "Such a fire was obviously caused by human power. Could it be that Yan Liang robbed the camp?"
"How is it possible? Our army's camp is strong. Even if Yan Liang comes to rob the camp, how can he break through the camp wall without any warning? It's absolutely impossible."
Yuan Tan categorically denied Guo Tu's speculation.
However, Yuan Tan's expression changed drastically when the shouts of death that accompanied the fire started simultaneously.
There were killing sounds from all directions, and in the darkness, countless soldiers and horses seemed to be coming to kill, shouting "Kill Yuan Tan".
The cry of killing clearly came from within the camp.
At this time, Yuan Tan completely believed that the enemy army had actually broken into his own camp.
It's just that Yuan Tan couldn't figure out how the enemy could break through his iron-walled camp defenses. Not only did he burn his food and grass, but he also incredibly penetrated into the heart of the camp.
"How is this possible, how is this possible..."
Yuan Tan was horrified, and for a moment he was at a loss what to do.
In shock, Yuan Tan reluctantly calmed down, and urgently ordered his soldiers not to panic, and immediately went out to fight.
At this moment, Yuan Tan suddenly felt that the ground beneath his feet seemed to be shaking.
The rumbling sound came from far to near, as if countless beasts were approaching rapidly.
Cavalry, heavy cavalry!
When he figured it out, Yuan Tan's face turned pale as a sheet.
Outside Yuan Camp, the five hundred iron pagodas led by Yan Liang were approaching at full sprint speed.
In Yan Liang's field of vision, the fire in the enemy camp was getting bigger and bigger. He could even see clearly that in the light of the fire, Sergeant Yuan's soldiers were scurrying around like rats crossing the street.
Gan Ning's 800 raiding party not only burned Yuan Tan's food and grass, but also killed Yuan Tan from inside the camp, causing nearly 20,000 Yuan's troops to fall into a panic at a loss.
Yan Liang, who was running wildly, became more and more excited, and the murderous look on his face became more ferocious.
Five hundred iron pagodas surge forward.
Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Liang had led his troops to kill the enemy camp. At this time, Yuan Jun's attention was attracted by the fire that broke out in the rear camp, and he completely relaxed the vigilance of the front camp.
When Yuan Jun was alert, it was already too late.
The Five Hundred Iron Pagodas, like devils rushing out of the underworld, suddenly burst out of the night, their iron hooves unstoppably breaking through the antlers of Yuan Ying.
Yan Liang took the lead, crossed the outer ditch with his horse, and swung the long knife with wild force in his hand.
With the sound of crackling and shattering, Yuan Jun's camp gate was cut into four pieces by his sword. One man and one rider crashed into the enemy camp like lightning.
The two oncoming enemy generals rushed over to stop the enemy who broke out of the camp, but when he recognized that the enemy general in front of him was Yan Liang, he fell into panic in an instant.
Yan Liang is the Hebei general. These Yuan soldiers were already afraid of his name, but now they bumped into him and were intimidated by Yan Liang's reputation before even fighting.
Yan Liang showed no mercy, and the broadsword swept out like a wheel.
The two enemy generals did not think much and raised their guns to block them.
Bang! Bang!
Amidst the two shattering sounds, the weapons in the enemy general's hands were actually destroyed, and the two blood-spurting bodies flew backwards screaming like kites with broken strings, and fell heavily to the ground.
When they landed, Yan Liang was flying over their heads.
When the two seriously injured enemy generals struggled to get up, they found in despair that countless Yan Jun cavalry had swept away overwhelmingly.
Five hundred heavy horsemen poured into the camp, trampling their bodies, passing by with iron hooves, leaving only pieces of bloody corpses.
Yan Liang's sword dances like the wind, killing so smoothly.
Yuan Shao's oppression, Guo Tu's frame-up, all kinds of contempt, and the anger that had been accumulated for a long time seemed to explode at this moment, and Yan Liang wanted to wash away the anger in his heart with the blood of his enemies.
He and his iron pagoda walked straight towards Yuan Tan's central army on a carpet paved with blood.
At this time, 3,000 infantry troops followed closely behind and attacked Yuan's camp from three sides. They set fire to the wind and killed everyone at sight. Only 20,000 terrified Yuan troops were killed until ghosts cried, wolves howled, and rats ran away holding their heads.
The sword cut off countless heads, and Yan Liang was like the sharpest spear, tearing through all obstacles, and in a moment, he was in front of the Chinese army.
Under the firelight, Yan Liang saw at a glance that the eldest son of the Yuan family was shouting at his soldiers in a panic, as if he was still trying to save the defeat.
"Damn it, I spared your life last time, but you still dare to provoke me. You are really looking for death."
Yan Liang was so angry that he slapped his horse and wielded his sword to kill Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan, who was in a panic, also discovered Yan Liang at this time. When he saw that Yan Liang was actually killing him, his expression changed with fright.
"Quick, stop that traitor!"
Yuan Tan got on his horse and gave orders to protect himself.
Although the pro-soldiers on the left and right were afraid of Yan Liang, in order to protect Yuan Tan, they had to muster the courage to come forward.
Yan Liang showed no mercy, swiping his blade from left to right, just like chopping vegetables and melons, cutting down seven or eight enemy cavalry who were charging forward.
Seeing that he could not stop Yan Liang, Yuan Tan was so frightened that he could not think of fighting, so he turned his horse and fled to the north.
How could Yan Liang allow his prey to escape? He chased after it like lightning and like the wind.
Yuan Tan was in panic, his legs and feet were shaking, and the horse under his crotch couldn't speed up.
Yan Liang, on the other hand, relied on his momentum to approach the Pegasus, and in a blink of an eye, he was behind Yuan Tan.
At such a distance, as long as Yan Liang's sword is thrust out, he can kill Yuan Tan and vent his hatred.
However, when Yan Liang raised his sword high, ready to chop it down, a flash of clarity suddenly flashed in his mind.
Killing Yuan Tan is simple, but the consequences are extremely serious.
In history, the Yuan family still maintained an advantage over Cao Cao even if they failed in the Battle of Guandu.
After Yuan Shao's death, it was the internal struggle between brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang that allowed Cao Cao to profit from it and defeat each of his two brothers.
If I kill Yuan Tan today, then Yuan Shao's inheritance can only be passed on to Yuan Shang, and the Yuan family can avoid splitting.
If that is the case, a Yuan family that owns the two river states will be a more difficult enemy to deal with than Cao Cao, who unified the north in history.
Thinking of this, Yan Liang calmed down for a moment.
It was originally a killing move aimed at taking life, but it changed its momentum midway and attacked Yuan Tanxu.
Yuan Tan was shocked when he saw the blade coming, and he suddenly dodged diagonally. With this delay, the horse under his crotch slowed down.
Yan Liang took advantage of the situation and chased after him. Without waiting for Yuan Tan to react, his ape-like arms stretched out and dragged Yuan Tan off his horse like a chicken.
