Chapter 687 The Destruction of the Yuan Family
Guo Tu pondered for a while and came up with such a way.
"Today, there are few Zhongliang in the city. Yuan Shangjun has won consecutive victories. His morale is like a rainbow, and his soldiers are sharp and unmatched. The lord can send people to surrender to Cao Cao in detail and teach Cao Cao to attack Jizhou. Yuan Shang was shocked when he heard that, and the army would be rescued. At that time, the lord will lead troops to attack him again, and he will definitely be able to capture Yuan Shang. If Cao Cao breaks through the Shang army, we will wait to see the change and find an opportunity to attack it. Cao's army is far away, and the food will not last, and it will retreat. In this way, the lord can guard the two states of Qing and Hebei in order to make progress.
"This is a great plan, but Cao Cao Cao has always been resourceful. I'm afraid that ordinary characters will ruin my big things. Who can do it?"
Guo Tu had already been selected for a long time, and he immediately told him.
"Xin Ping's brother Xin Pi, the character is Zuozhi, is now the plain order. This person is a man who can speak, and he can be a messenger.
Yuan Tan immediately summoned Xin Pi, and Xin Pi happily accepted the order. Yuan Tan Xiu paid the book to Xin Pi, repeatedly told him to be careful about everything, and sent 3,000 troops to Xin Pi out of the country. Xin Pi Xing went to see Cao Cao at night. Xin Pi came to Cao Zhai to see Cao Cao. After the ceremony, Cao Cao asked him what he was going to do. Xin Pi indifferently said that Yuan Tan asked for it and submitted a letter. After reading the book, Cao Cao did not make a sound. He first stayed in the village, and then gathered his subordinates to discuss under the account.
Cheng Yu looked cold, his eyes gathered light, and said.
"It must be that Yuan Tan was attacked by Yuan Shang in such a hurry that he had no choice but to surrender. It can't be trusted."
Lv Qian and Man Chong also seconded one after another, but Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other. In fact, in secret, it was Cao Cao's intention to develop the situation like this. Whether Yuan Tan is sincere or not, Cao Cao will definitely enter Jizhou again.
Guo Jia slowly got up and bowed.
"According to the land of the three states, the Yuan family's power is deeply rooted. If the two sons are harmonious and work together, the world will not be known. Now, taking advantage of his brothers' attack, he turned to me when he was poor. I first removed Yuan Shang, then watched the change, and destroyed Yuan Tan. The world was settled. This opportunity should not be missed.
Guo Jia made a word, and all the advisers under the account seemed to have some understanding. Cao Cao grinned and nod his head in response.
"Haha. What Feng filial piety says is reasonable. You should obey."
So Cao Cao invited Xin Pi to drink. During the banquet, the two of them drank several times. Cao Cao suddenly turned his mouth and asked Xin Pi.
"Haha. As the public can see, is Yuan Tan's surrender really a fraud? Yuan Shang's soldiers will win, won't they?"
Xin Pi seemed to have expected Cao Cao to ask this question. He looked calm and said slowly.
"Don't ask about truth and fraud in the Ming Dynasty, only on the difference between its potential. The Yuan family was defeated for many years, the military revolution was exhausted from the outside, the advisers were killed inside, the brothers slandered each other, and killed each other. The country was divided into two parts. In addition, the hunger and the natural disaster was trapped, and there was no question of wisdom and stupidity. Everyone knew that the earth collapsed. This was the time when the sky destroyed the Yuan family.
Jin Ming Gong raised troops to attack Ye, but Yuan Shang did not save him, but lost his nest. If it is still saved, it will be attacked by Yuan Tan. With the power of Ming Gong, he attacked the tired people, such as the rapid wind sweeping the autumn leaves, annihilating the second son, and it is easy to take things in the bag. At present, the trouble of the four directions is greater than that of Hebei. If Hebei is flat, the hegemony will be achieved. I hope it will be in detail."
Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he laughed and sighed.
"Hahaha! I really hate the late meeting with Xin Zuozhi!!"
Cao Cao led the army to set out from Guandu again, and his momentum was great. Jizhou was shocked. He quickly reported to the plain and notified Yuan Shang. When Yuan Shang learned that Cao's army had crossed the river, he was shocked and hurriedly led the army back to Ye County, and ordered the generals Lv Kuang and Lv Xiang to cut off. When Yuan Tan saw that Shang retreated from the army, he was the army of the plains, and then came.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Tan's army traveled less than dozens of miles, and a cannon sounded. It turned out that Xun Shan, the military division of Shang Jun, knew that Yuan Tan would come to chase and kill him, and ordered Lv Kuang and Lv Xiang to bury him in an ambush. I saw two roads, and the two armies came out together. Lv Kuang on the left and Lv Xiang on the right. The two brothers intercepted Yuan Tan.
Tan Jun was in chaos, and Yuan Tan tried his best to fight and suddenly drank.
"When my father was alive, you waited for your brother to commit a crime, but you still remember that it was me who pleaded for you and your brother to avoid disaster. I treat each other like this. Now you are waiting for my brother. Why did you hurt me from my brother?
When Lv Kuang and Lv Xiang heard the words, they remembered the past. At the same time, they soon thought that since Yuan Shang won power, they would be very similar to their father Yuan Shang. Immediately, the two brothers looked at each other and drank the soldiers. They both disoed to surrender to Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan was overjoyed and repeatedly dissed his horse to help Lv Kuang and Lv Xiang.
"Don't surrender to me, you can surrender to Cao Chengxiang."
Lv Kuang and Lv Xiang returned to the camp with Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan waited for Cao's army to come and led him to see Cao Cao in the future. Cao Cao was overjoyed and took his daughter Xu Yuantan as his wife, that is, Lv Kuang and Lv Xiang as mediates.
Yuan Tan was eager to capture Jizhou, and immediately persuaded Cao Cao to attack Jizhou. Cao Cao was not in a hurry and said peacefully.
"Don't be in a hurry. Fang Jin's grain and fodder are not picked up, carry hard work, wait for the grain road to be opened, and then enter the army."
Cao Cao then ordered Yuan Tan to live in the plain. Cao Cao led the army to retreat from Liyang, and the second generals of Lv Kuang and Lv Xiang were the marquis, and he followed the army.
Seeing that Cao Cao had taken away Lv Kuang and Lv Xiang's two generals, Guo Tu was on guard and hurriedly alerted Yuan Tandao.
"Cao Cao promised to marry a woman. He seemed to trust his master, but he was treacherous and cunning, and I'm afraid it was not true. Today, he rewarded Lv Kuang and Lv Xiang and took them to the army. This is the people's heart of Hebei. If you are not on guard, it will become a big disaster. The lord can engrave two seals of the general, secretly sending them to Erlu, and order them to respond internally. When Cao Cao breaks Yuan Shang, you can take advantage of it.
Yuan Tan Yiyan, so he engraved two pieces of the general's seal and secretly sent them to Erlu. Er Lv received a great favor from Cao Cao and thought that the Yuan family had gone. After some discussion, he brought the seal to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was worried about how to destroy Yuan Tan. Seeing that Lv Kuang and Lv Xiang's two generals presented the general seal, he immediately laughed with joy.
"Yuan Tan secretly sent the printer. He wants you to wait for internal help. After I break Yuan Shang, I will take advantage of the situation. Haha. But he didn't come. He surrendered to me with false intentions, but you waited for your brother to surrender sincerely. You have the right to wait and accept it. I have my own opinion.
Cao Cao secretly left a hand first, which will be of great use in the future.
Let's say that Yuan Shang and Xun Qian discussed the war at the present. Yuan Shang's eyes were full of blood, and he was upset.
"Today, Cao Bingyun's grain enters the white ditch, and he will come to attack Jizhou. What can he do? Jizhou will be destroyed. I hope you can teach me a big plan to turn the tide.
Xun Qian is also in a bad spirit. Yuan Shang does not listen to him, so that the situation is getting worse and worse. At present, I'm afraid that even if there is divine help, it is difficult to save Jizhou. Xun Qianxin knew that Yuan Shang could not give up his great career easily, but still made a plan to teach Taoism.
"At this time, you can send an envoy to Wu'an, Yin Kaitun Maocheng, and let Ju Shu's son, Ju, guard Handan, for solidarity. The lord can enter the plain and attack Yuan Tan urgently. First defeat Yuan Tan, and then break Cao.
Although Xun Qian is saying so, he knows in his heart that according to the current disparity between the two armies, this plan is difficult to do. However, Yuan Shang was overjoyed. At present, he left Xun Chen and Chen Lin to guard Jizhou, so that Ma Yan and Zhang Yi would be the vanguard and attack the plain overnight. Yuan Tan knew that Yuan Shang led the army to attack and was anxious about Cao Cao. Cao Cao was overjoyed to hear this, but he was secretly calm and not in a hurry. He first appeased Yuan Tan and told him that he had his own ideas and asked him to lead the army to be on guard first.
As soon as Yuan Tan left, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, God will help me. I will win Jizhou today!"
In the meantime, Xu You came from Luoyang. He heard that Yuan Shang attacked Yuan Tan again and met Cao Cao. Since the battle of Wuchao, Xu You has been proud of his achievements, and his posture is very arrogant and advice.
"The Prime Minister is sitting here. How can he wait for the thunder to kill Er Yuanhu?"
Cao Cao frowned slightly when he heard this, but he soon suppressed his displeaties and smiled.
"There is no need to worry too much. I have expected it."
Cao Cao had a plan in his heart for a long time, so he ordered Cao Hong to attack Ye County. Cao Cao led an army to attack Yin Kai. When the soldiers came to the scene, Yin Kai led the army to welcome him. The two armies lined up against each other, and Yin Kai came out and fought in front of the battle.
Cao Cao smiled coldly and looked at Yin Kai as if he were looking at an ant and shouted.
"Where does the tyal code come from?"
Dian Wei roared and came out, taking Yin Kai straight from the horse. The evil wind is horrible, and Dian Wei is like an ancient evil god, coming with majesty. Yin Kai was caught off guard. Before he made a move, he was stabbed in the head by a halberd by Dian Wei. He died on the spot, and the rest of Yin Kai collapsed. Cao Cao surrendered to the army, and he strangled the army to take Handan. Ju Hu came to welcome him. Xu Chu scrambled to get out first and fought with Juhu. The battle was not combined, and he was unable to do it. He immediately fled away. Xu Chu chased after him. The two horses were not far away. Xu Chu took out a stone from his sleeve and roared.
"Where to escape!!"
The sound of the stone flew, and Ju Hu's back was hit by the flying stone and fell under the horse. Cao Cao commanded the army and horses to cover up, and the Juhu army was defeated. He threw away his helmets and armor, and scattered around.
So Cao Cao killed Yin Kai first, then defeated and got rid of the obstacles. Cao's army has always marched quickly, and soon Cao Cao led a large army to Jizhou. At this time, Cao Hong had attacked the city. Cao Cao ordered the three armies to build earth and mountains around the city, and secretly dug tunnels to attack them. Xun Qian's design was sticking to it, and the law was very strict. Feng Li, the guard of the East Gate, blamed him bitterly because he was drunk and missed the patrol police. Feng Li held a grudge in his heart and saw that Yuan Shang could not guard Ye City. Together, he sneaked out of the city that night to surrender Cao Cao.
Cao Cao thought that Feng Li was very familiar with the environment of Ye City, so he asked about the strategy of breaking the city. Feng Li was also eager to make contributions and made a plan.
"The interior of the door is thick, and you can dig into the tunnel."
Cao Cao thought this plan was feasible, so he ordered Feng Li to attract 300 strong men and dig a tunnel in late at night. However, it is said that Xun Qian has been on guard since Feng Li's surrender, and he personally went to the city to see the military horses every night. That night, on the Tumen Pavilion, there were no lights outside the city. When Xun Qian thought about it, Feng Li counted the situation in the city and immediately woke up.
"It's not good! Feng Li will lead the troops through the tunnel!"
Xun Qian thought about it and urgently called the elite soldier Yun to hit the gate. The door was closed. Feng Li and 300 heroes all died in the soil.
Cao Cao broke this scene, so he gave up his plan and retreated to the water to prevent Yuan Shang from returning to the army. On the other side, Yuan Shang was attacking the plain. Hearing that Cao Cao had broken Yin Kai and Juhu, the army besieged Jizhou. In shock, he sent troops back to save him.
Ma Yan, the general, thought that Cao Cao had always been resourceful and hurriedly remonsted him.
"From the road, Cao Cao must have an ambush. You can take the path to rob Cao's camp from the mouth of the West Mountain."
Yuan Shang also felt reasonable, so he followed his words and led the army first, which made Ma Yan and Zhang Yi break up. There has been a detailed report to Cao Cao in the army. Cao Cao laughed when he heard that Yuan Shang was like this.
"Haha. If Yuan Shang comes from the main road, I will avoid it first. If he comes from the Xishan Road, he can be captured in a battle. I expect that Yuan Shang will raise the fire and make the city respond. I can divide the troops. Break them one by one!"
So Cao Cao's allocation had been decided, and he secretly made his own arrangements. However, it is said that Yuan Shang came out of the mouth of the water boundary, east to Yangping, Tunjun Yangping Pavilion, 17 miles away from Jizhou, leaning against the water. Yuan Shang ordered the sergeant to pile up firewood and hay, burned it at night, and sent the master Li Fu to pretend to be the commander-in-chief of the Cao army until the city.
Li Fu shouted under the city.
"Open the door!!!!"
Xun Qian recognized Li Fu's voice. He knew that Yuan Shangding was rushing back from the plain. At present, there should be arrangements and quickly released Li Fu into the city. After the two quickly narrated the ceremony, Li Fu said.
"The lord has Chen Bing in Yangping Pavilion, waiting to receive the response. If the soldiers in the city come out, he will also raise the fire. Don't be disappointed in this matter. I hope Xun Gong must be careful and don't make a change.
Xun Qian listened to the plan and taught the city to pile up grass and set fire to the message. Li Fu's gloomy face suddenly said again.
