Back to the Three Kingdoms

Yuan Shang rushed to Jizhou with the remnant defeated generals. However, there were more than two hundred miles away from Jizhou and he saw dozens of riders facing him. Yuan Shang waited to stop and took a closer look, and found that it was a few of his cronies who had been left in Jizhou?

"Master! Master!" The people yelled and galloped on their horses. In front of Yuan Shang, everyone stopped, rolled down their saddles and bowed down to Yuan Shang. The leader said sadly, "Master, Jizhou has been taken by the Qin army!!"

Yuan Shang was shocked and asked anxiously; "What did you say? Jizhou was occupied by the Qin army? How is this possible? Where is Fengji Juyi?"

The man said indignantly: "Feng Ji Ju Yi had already surrendered to the Qin people! If it weren't for the two of them, Jizhou would not have fallen into the enemy so soon!"

Yuan Shang only felt that the sky was swaying and almost falling off his horse, raising his right arm and shouting angrily: "Every Ji Juyi, my Yuan family treats you with great and generous favors, and I don’t want to repay you. Dare to surrender to the enemy! I will smash your corpses into thousands of pieces!"

The interrogator asked the humanity: "How many soldiers and horses did the Qin army enter Jizhou?"

The visitor thought for a while, and said, "It seems that there are five to sixty thousand people, plus the soldiers and horses who surrender, there should be one hundred thousand people!"

Yuan Shang was very depressed. If not long ago, facing this mere 100,000 enemy troops, he would have swept away in one effort. However, now, his hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses have been lost, and there are only more than 10,000 left by his side. The remnant soldier was defeated, and facing the opponent's 100,000 army, there was nothing he could do.

The prosecutor held his fist towards Yuan Shang and said, "Master, Jizhou can't go, so quickly retreat to Bohai, contact Yuan Xi and try to fight back!" Yuan Shang frowned and nodded, then led his troops to change direction and ran towards Bohai.

It is said that Yuan Shang hurriedly led his army to leave Qingzhou to help Handan, while Yuan Xi led the Youzhou Army to evacuate Qingzhou to the north back to Youzhou at an earlier time. When the Qin Army captured Jizhou and Yuan Shang was ambushed and almost annihilated, Yuan Xi had already led his Youzhou Army back to Youzhou. The army hoarded in the Gaoyang area near Jizhou to sit and watch the situation develop. But at this moment, what Yuan Xi, as the lord of Youzhou, is most worried about is not the development of the war, but his wife, Zhen Mi, who has not yet passed the door. He had learned that Jizhou was captured by the Qin army, but the officers and soldiers sent to pick up Zhen Mi's family had no news. This made Yuan Xi extremely worried. He was like an ant on a hot pot all day long. Paced back and forth.

Look back. When Yuan Shang learned that Jizhou had fallen into the Qin army, he was shocked and had to abandon his plan to return to Jizhou and lead the defeated soldiers to the Bohai Sea. At the same time, Yuan Shang accepted the proposal of the trial, and it was rumored that Lv Xiang and Lv Kuang led his army to retreat to the Bohai Sea to join him.

When Yuan Shang and his army were about to arrive in Bohai, he suddenly met Ma Chao who was leading his army to attack Bohai. Yuan Shang was shocked, and Ma Chao and other Qin Army warriors immediately screamed and rushed toward him! In an instant, I saw smoke and dust all over the mountains! Yuan Shangjun hurriedly resisted, and saw that Qin Jun’s warriors rushed into the enemy group like tigers and wolves, unstoppable and unstoppable. Yuan Shangjun was killed so much that he was stunned! Yuan Shangjun was originally a frightened bird. Seeing the enemy's fierceness, they turned their horses and fled for their lives. He didn't have time to distinguish the north, south, east, and west. Anyway, he urged the horses to run to places where there were no enemy troops! All of a sudden, I saw Yuan Shangjun as if he had blown up the pot, ran all over the mountains and plains in all directions, completely messed up!

Those who had escaped from birth still did not dare to stop and ran wildly. Those who were bad were caught up by the tiger-wolf-like Qin army warriors, slashed down, and the screams of Yuan Shangjun's officers and soldiers echoed everywhere in the mountains and plains. sound.

The battle came to an end just after it started. Yuan Shangjun was not the opponent of Qin Jun's Tiger Wolf at all, he was completely defeated as soon as he met him.

Yuan Shang and more than a thousand people are like a fish lost in the net, how dare to stay, and rushed toward the north without life.

In the middle of the night, a defeated general rushed to the city of Bohai, shouting to open the door.

Yuan Tong, the prefect of Bohai Sea, hurriedly felt the city wall, and then the brilliance of the torch saw hundreds of thousands of embarrassed officers and soldiers gathered under the city gate. He couldn't help but moved his heart and raised his voice and asked, "Whose subordinate are you? Come to my Bohai County?"

A person outside the city shouted: "We are soldiers under the lord's tent. When the lord came to Bohai County, he encountered Ma Chao. The army was defeated. I waited and finally escaped! Your lord, please open the door and let us in!"

When Yuan Tong heard that Yuan Shang was actually defeated by Ma Chao, he couldn't help feeling panic and at a loss. Immediately ordered to open the city gate.

However, what Yuan Tong did not expect was that as soon as the city gate was opened, the embarrassed officers and soldiers outside the city suddenly changed their clothes and faces, and everyone wielded knives and guns like wolves and slashed in!

Yuan Tong was shocked, and asked, "What's the matter?"

As if he should have said what Yuan Tong said, a shocking sound of killing came from outside the city, and the cavalry under Ma Chao who followed those ‘broken soldiers’ flooded into the city gate like a tide. The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate had long been beaten to a stunned head. No matter how they could withstand the impact of the Ma Chao cavalry, they were rushed to the ground in an instant!

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yuan Tong was frightened and frightened. His face was trembling and his face pale, and he could only mutter, "How is this good? How is this good?" Or the soldiers dragged him off the city wall.

Ma Chao led his army into the Bohai Sea, and the battle soon ended. Except for a few people like Yuan, who fled, most of them surrendered to Ma Chao.

Turning his gaze to the other side, Yuan Shang sent people to tell Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to abandon Handan while he was fleeing to Bohai.

When Lu Kuang received the order, Lu Kuang had to act according to the order. Lu Xiang hurriedly stopped, and then said: "Brother, I think this matter needs a long-term plan!"

Lu Kuang was puzzled and asked, "What does this mean, brother?"

Lu Xiang said, "Big brother, the Yuan family has fallen apart, and now even Jizhou is occupied by the Qin army. If you follow Yuan family again, let alone the future, I'm afraid you won't even be able to protect your wealth and life!"

Lu Kuang couldn't help but nodded with a frown, and then asked: "So in the opinion of my brothers, what should we do?"

Lu Xiang said: "As the saying goes, good birds choose wood and live there. Now the Yuan family is doomed to die, and Cao Cao has risen strongly, so I might as well take advantage of this and lead the whole army to join Cao Cao!"

It is said that after Cao Cao annihilated Yuan Shang's main force in one fell swoop, he did not continue to pursue northward, but led his army to Handan, preparing to converge with the soldiers and horses that contained Handan to eliminate Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's troops to seize Handan in one fell swoop. The army rolled in, ready to attack.

However, something beyond what Cao Cao expected, at this moment, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang actually led an army to surrender. Cao Cao was overjoyed and went out to meet him personally. Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang saw that Cao Cao came to greet them personally, and could not help being flattered and moved. They rolled down their saddles and bowed down. Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang and his army of nearly 100,000 returned, and Handan went down without a fight.

At this point, the war that spread throughout Jizhou has come to an end, and all forces temporarily put out their forces and rested. At the same time, counties and counties in Jizhou that have not yet been attacked by the Qin army and the Wei army have sent people to surrender to Chen Lang and Cao Cao. Suddenly, the land of Jizhou changed its color. The counties all turned to Cao Cao, and the Yuan family's short-term rule in Jizhou came to an end.

That night, there was a cheerful scene in the Cao Jun camp. After several battles, the Cao Jun officers and soldiers who had finally won the victory were finally able to relax. A large bowl of wine and a large piece of meat, and some officers and soldiers sang loudly, although the rhythm is not good, but it does not have a rough charm! Xiahoudun and other generals were among the officers and soldiers, drinking and reveling with them, so happy!

Cao Cao stood at the door of the big tent dressed in casual clothes, smiling at the scene in front of him.

Guo Jia came to Cao Cao's side and was about to bow his fists, but couldn't help coughing. Cao Cao was shocked, and immediately turned to support Guo Jia, and said with concern: "Fengxiao is not in good health, why don't you stay in the tent?" Guo Jia's complexion at this time is worse than not long ago, and his face is full of sickness. Can not help but worry about him.

Guo Jia smiled and said: "If you have something in your mind, your subordinates can't rest at ease!" Then he said, "Master, although the entire army of Yuan Shang is annihilated, the strength of the Yuan family is still there, and the Qin army has entered Jizhou, I don't know the master. What are your plans?"

Cao Cao said: "Someone suggested that I turn to attack Chen Lang in Jizhou, lest Chen Lang's power becomes too powerful."

Guo Jia frowned and shook his head: "Chen Lang is not Yuan Shao, and the Qin Army is even more powerful. The strength of the army dominates the world! Although the Qin Army entering Jizhou has few troops, they rely on the strong walls of Jizhou and have sufficient reserves, unless There is internal response, otherwise we will not be able to break through Jizhou in a short time! And the Qin army's back-up troops are mobilizing and will soon be able to enter Jizhou. If we attack Jizhou, I am afraid that we will eventually lead to a protracted battle with Chen Lang! Now! It's not the time!"

Cao Cao nodded with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Guo Jia continued: "Not only should we not oppose Chen Lang, but we should also strengthen this alliance. In this way, Chen Lang will definitely go to seize Youzhou, and we can also free up to seize Qingzhou."

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Feng Xiao is not expensive, it is my son's house. The analysis is very thorough! We should be like this! I am going to edit a book with Brother Wen Hou Chen!" After a pause, he said: "Wen Ruo just came from Xuchang. News, Sun Jian’s secret envoy has arrived...."

Guo Jia's expression moved, and he sneered: "Sun Jian is afraid that he wants to persuade the lord and him to jointly deal with Chen Lang, right?"

Cao Cao nodded and asked, "What is Feng Xiao's opinion?"

Guo Jia thought a little, and said, "I think I can agree to Sun Jian." Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully.

Chen Lang read the letter written by Cao Cao, smiled, and said to Pang Tong and others: "Cao Cao's letter said hello to me. He said that he will always be friends with me and hope to have a chance to get drunk. He also suggested that he go to capture Qingzhou, And it is up to us to seize Youzhou."
