Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 414
After Yuan Shao died, Shenpei and others presided over the funeral. Yuan Shang succeeded him as the Lord of Jizhou, proclaimed himself General Da Sima, and sent someone to report the funeral to Yuan Tan who was on the way to help.

After Yuan Tan received the news, he was terrified, and hurried to Guo Tu and Xin Ping to discuss whether to leave immediately to attend the funeral for his father.

After the two discussed for a while, Guo Tu said: "The eldest son is not in charge of Jizhou, the third son must use trial and appointment as a strategy, inherit the foundation of the lord, and march quickly, and we should also be prepared for accidents."

Yuan Tan was originally a person who had no opinions. After hearing these words, he didn't know what to do, so he quickly asked: "You two gentlemen, please teach me, what should I do?"

"Don't panic, my lord, we can set up troops outside the city, watch their movements, and then make plans." Xin Ping said.

Yuan Tan followed the advice of the two men and speeded up his march, and within a day he arrived outside the city of Jizhou. After the garrison was completed, he sent Guo Tu into the city to inquire about the details.

After Guo Tu entered the city, he met Yuan Shang, who asked, "Mr. Gongze, why didn't my brother come to the city?"

"The eldest son heard that the lord passed away, and he was filled with grief and indignation. He was sick and was lying in bed. He could only recuperate in the army, so he couldn't see each other." Guo Tu replied with the same expression.

Yuan Shang didn't care whether Yuan Tan got sick or not, he just said: "I was ordered by my father to be in charge of the affairs of Jizhou and Qingzhou. Now the Zhao bandits are stationed in Liyang, and the army is overwhelming. I will make my brother a general of chariots and cavalry. I will be in charge of the front. Send troops to respond."

After Guo Tu heard it, he took a look to the side and knew that the idea must have come from Jianpei and Fengji, so he said calmly: "Under the order of the Great Sima, it's just that no one in the army discusses a good strategy to defeat the enemy. I hope that Qizhengzhengnan and Fengyuantu will be your assistants."

When Jianpei and Fengji heard this, they were shocked. Before they could refuse, Yuan Shang waved his hand and said, "I also rely on the two gentlemen to advise me sooner or later. How can I leave me?"

Guo Tu was unmoved, and still said: "If you want to resist Zhao Jun, you must have a good plan. If this is the case, how about sending one of them to help each other?"

Yuan Shang had no choice but to say: "Since that's the case, which of the two gentlemen would like to help my brother in the army?"

Shen Pei and Feng Ji are not stupid, how could they be in danger, both of them are silent, no one wants to go.

Guo Tu didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, Yuan Shang saw it and felt very uncomfortable, so he said: "You two are making lots, whoever casts the lot will go."

The two immediately cast lots, but Fengji's luck was not good, so Yuan Shang ordered Fengji and Yinshou to go out of the city to Yuan Tan's army with Guo Tu.

After seeing Yuan Tan, Feng Ji's heart was already cold, because Yuan Tan was not ill, which meant there must be some conspiracy.

Tremblingly, Feng Ji handed over Yuan Tan's seal and ribbon, the chariot general sealed by Yuan Shang, and as expected, Yuan Tan was furious when he saw it, and immediately ordered Feng Ji to be dragged out and beheaded.

Seeing this, Guo Tu quickly stopped Yuan Tan, and said quietly: "Now that the Zhao army is under pressure, it is better to keep him. With the heart of the third son, after Zhao is defeated, it will not be too late to kill him."

Yuan Tan followed Guo Tu's advice and kept Feng Ji in the army before setting out.Go to Liyang.

At this time, Tai Shici, who was stationed in Liyang, heard about it, and he also sent troops to form a stalemate with Yuan Tan's army.

Yuan Tan ordered Ding Ze, one of his generals, to fight, and Tai Shici came out to meet him in person. The two generals did not finish the battle, and Ding Ze was assassinated by Tai Shici with a spear.

Zhang He and Gao Lan took advantage of the situation to cover up the attack, Yuan Tan was defeated, gathered the defeated army, retreated [-] miles to the village, and sent someone to ask Yuan Shang for help.

Yuan Shang received his elder brother's request for help, so he called the judge to discuss, and the judge said: "I am afraid that Yuan Tan will become powerful and pose a threat to the lord, so it is better to just give five thousand soldiers and horses."

Yuan Shang accepted the opinion of the judge and dispatched more than [-] people to Liyang to reinforce Yuan Tan.

It's just that this news was discovered by Zhao Qian's Feixun battalion sergeant long ago, and Feima reported it to Tai Shici.

Tai Shici made a prompt decision and ordered Zhang Yun and Gao Lan to lead Qingqi to bypass Yuan Tan's camp and lay in ambush on the way Yuan Shang's reinforcements came.

After Yuan Shang's 5000 soldiers and horses entered the ambush of Zhang Yun and Gao Lan, the two armies attacked back and forth, killing all [-] people!
Yuan Tan was furious when he learned that Yuan Shang only dispatched [-] soldiers and was intercepted halfway, and wanted to kill Feng Ji who stayed in his camp.

Frightened, Feng Ji hurriedly begged for mercy: "Please calm down, general, and let me write a letter to the lord. I expect the lord to come personally!"

"Okay, since that's the case, don't rush to repair the book!" Yuan Tan shouted.

Fengji returned to his camp, wrote a letter quickly, and sent someone to Yecheng, asking for troops to rescue.

"Zhengnan, are you still sending troops?" Yuan Shang asked.

The judge thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "In my opinion, Yuan Tan didn't compete with the lord for Jizhou before because the Zhao army was suppressing the border. If he helped him retreat from Zhao, he would come to fight for Jizhou. It is better not to send troops, but to borrow Zhao to move him." hand, remove it."

"Zhengnan's clever plan is exactly what I want." Yuan Shang nodded in agreement.

After Yuan Tan got the news, he was furious and immediately killed Fengji. This time, Guo Tu didn't stop him anymore. Poor Fengji Yuzhong I was abandoned by Yuan Shang and died with hatred.

Afterwards, Yuan Tan summoned Guo Tu and said, "If Yuan Shang doesn't send reinforcements, I can't resist the Zhao army. If I don't surrender, how about using his strength to capture Yuan Shang?"

Guo Tu sighed softly and nodded in agreement, so Yuan Tan began to prepare for the surrender.

It's just that the news of this incident leaked out, and someone in the army ran back to Yecheng and told Yuan Shang that Yuan Tan was going to surrender, and Yuan Shang hurriedly called the judge to discuss.

"My brother is going to surrender to Zhao Qian, what can I do?" Yuan Shang said anxiously.

After hearing this, Shen Pei frowned and said: "If Yuan Tan surrenders and attacks Jizhou with Zhao Qian, it will be dangerous."

"Of course, but what can I do?" Yuan Shang seemed very anxious.

The examiner waved his hand and said, "Yuan Tan's surrender was not sincere, but the lord did it out of anger for the rescue. Before he can get in touch with Zhao Jun, send troops to rescue as soon as possible, or there may be time."

Yuan Shang didn't hesitate any longer, and personally led [-] soldiers and horses to dare to go to Liyang. At the same time, he sent someone to inform Yuan Tan, for fear that he would surrender to Zhao Qian.

As for Yecheng, Yuan Shang handed over to the judge and general Su You to guard.

Yuan Tan, who was hesitating whether to surrender, turned his anger into joy when he received the news that Yuan Shang personally led the troops to help him, and quickly sent people to support him.

But even if Yuan Shang came to help, how could he be the opponent of Tai Shici, Zhang Xi, and Gao Lan? The two armies fought against each other from time to time, and Yuan Jun lost more than he won.

However, the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang joined forces and finally resisted Tai Shici's attack. It can be regarded as brothers united against the enemy.

After the news reached Jinyang, Zhang Fei was furious and volunteered to lead his troops to Liyang, intending to break through Yecheng and take Jizhou in one fell swoop.

However, Zhao Qian did not agree, but adopted Guo Jia's opinion.
