Chapter Ninety-Three: Strike the Army and Negotiate Peace, Rebuild the Old Friendship!
"What do you say, Cao Jun pulled out the camp and slowly retreated south...... Haha, God help me! ”
Early in the morning - in the general's mansion, after listening to the advice of his subordinates, Yuan Shang jumped up from the soft couch, without putting on his clothes, jumped and screamed happily, and jumped directly **!
In recent months, Yuan Shang has been worried, for fear that Yecheng will be lost, and his head will fall to the ground, and he prays to God and Buddha every day, hoping that Cao Jun will retreat quickly, but he didn't expect that his wish was really achieved, which is unbelievable?
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Yuan Shang hurriedly put on his clothes, invited the two strategists of Judge and Guo Tu, and climbed the wall of Yecheng under the escort of a large group of personal soldiers to check the situation outside......
As far as the eye can see, the Cao army is busy, rolling up tents, dismantling pots, and loading them on large and small vehicles, and the battalions are marching south in turn, the ranks are in good order, judging from all kinds of signs, they are really going to retreat!
"Haha! - Cao Ah concealed the old thief, seized my city, occupied my land, how arrogant is he, and now he has fled in disgrace, can he dare to face Hebei in the future? ”
Seeing that Cao Jun had really retreated, Yuan Shang fell to the ground with a stone in his heart, dancing happily, and at the same time secretly thinking, should he go out of the city to chase and beat the water dogs?
"Cao Thief is cunning, good at using the trick of luring the enemy, or the name of withdrawing troops, in fact, he set up an ambush and wanted to lure our army into the bait?"
"The current situation, be safe, the general can't go out of the city easily, it's better to brake quietly and observe for a few days!"
………………………………
Judging and matching, Guo Tu hurriedly dissuaded, worried that if he sent troops to pursue, he would be ambushed by Cao's army, and Yecheng would be difficult to defend.
The words of the two strategists were like a basin of ice water, which instantly cleared Yuan Shang's mind, it was indeed too dangerous to go out of the city to chase and kill, but was it, such a good opportunity, it would be a pity to miss it?
The Yuan brothers, Wen Tao Wuluo, everything is sparse, there is no way to deal with the enemy, but he can clean up his own brothers, and suddenly his thoughts are like a spring, Yuan Shang's eyes blinked slightly, thinking of a plan to get the best of both worlds!
"Order Qingzhou Thorn History-Yuan Tan, let him lead the men and horses of the headquarters, follow and kill Cao Jun all the way, and the general will pick up the troops and horses, and he will follow him!"
Yuan Shang's plan is to let the eldest brother Yuan Tan go after him, if the Cao army really retreats, he can seize the opportunity to recover the lost city, and if he encounters an ambush, he will use the eldest brother as a substitute for the dead ghost, just to get rid of a piece of heart disease!
This is called, killing Cao Jun to eliminate trouble, killing the eldest brother in addition to civil strife, and not suffering losses by himself, even if Yuan Tan escapes back, he can use the crime of 'defeating the army' to cut off his head, so that it will be done once and for all!
"No! --We will immediately give an order to the eldest prince to send troops quickly! ”
Judging and Guo Tu glanced at each other, their faces were full of helplessness, the enemy army had just retreated, and the infighting broke out again, the Yuan family's style was like this, how could the luck last long?
…………………………………………………………………………
"Yuan Shang poisoned his father, plotted to seize the inheritance, and came to frame his brother, how can he be in charge of Hebei if he is so inhumane?"
In the upper reaches of Zhangshui-Qingzhou military camp, Yuan Tan held a sword in his hand, pointed at Yecheng from afar, with an angry look on his face, a military order to send troops quickly, thrown in the corner of the tent, and it was already crumpled into a ball!
According to the etiquette of the Han family, the position of the prince - there is a grandson, no grandson, he is the eldest son of the Yuan family, and he should inherit the foundation of Hebei, but unfortunately his biological mother died early, and his father married his stepmother Liu, and gave birth to Yuan Shang, a sinister species, and competed with himself for the storage position!
Everyone in Yecheng knows that a few months ago, his father scolded Yuan Shang, saying that he colluded with Hu Lu and insulted the family, and was ready to recruit himself back to become the heir of the Yuan family.
Yuan Tan's resentment can be imagined, but the strong enemy pressed the territory, lost the city and lost the land, and his own strength was insufficient, so he had to compromise and cooperate with Yuan Shang for the time being!
never thought that as soon as Cao Jun retreated and left, Yuan Shang would make a black move, clearly letting himself pursue, but in fact, he was sent to death in vain, and he was not a three-year-old child, how could he fall for his poisonous scheme?
This incident also reminded Yuan Tan that the dispute between brothers is inevitable, the first to strike is strong, and the second to strike is to suffer, instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to kill Yuan Shang and regain the position of general, thinking of this, Yuan Tan found two strategists to discuss countermeasures together!
"Cao Jun has not retreated, the situation is not clear, at this time the brothers are fighting, the general trend of Hebei is gone, and I hope that the prince will focus on the overall situation, and forbear it for a while!"
"The eldest prince can send a team of men and horses to test the reality of the Cao army, if there is an ambush, you need to work together to resist the enemy, if you really retreat, it's not too late to do it!"
………………………………
Xin Ping and Xin Bi were born in famous families, are good at reading, have many talents, and are famous in the four states of Hebei, so they were sent to Qingzhou Assassin Mansion to help plan military aircraft together and harass Cao's military grain road, which they came up with!
"The two gentlemen are reasonable, before the situation is clear, it is indeed not appropriate to act rashly, but is it, the heart of harming people must not be had, the heart of preventing people is indispensable, if Yuan Shang has the intention of harming me, how should I deal with it?"
After listening to the words of the Xin family brothers, Yuan Tan's anger subsided slightly, but his precautions against Yuan Shang did not decrease at all!
"This matter is not difficult to protect, our brothers are divided into two ways, one enters Yecheng-General's Mansion to test the attitude of the third prince, whether it is harmful to people's hearts!
The other went to the camp of the coalition army, met with the second son, Yuan Xu, stated the stakes, and asked him to help the eldest son, as long as the two sons joined forces, nothing would go wrong! ”
The brothers of the Xin family took the initiative to ask Ying, hoping to send two envoys separately to resolve the internal contradictions of the Yuan family, and to be consistent with the outside world!
"Please also tell the second brother, as long as you help me, after the success of the big event, the land of Hebei will be divided equally, as for the two gentlemen, they will never be treated badly!"
Yuan Tan nodded slightly, if there is the help of 180,000 coalition troops, it is enough to eliminate Yuan Shang, as for the second brother Yuan Xu, a guy without male roots, how can he be on an equal footing with himself?
In the next few days, the brothers of the Xin family sent envoys separately to resolve internal contradictions, and Yuan Tan led the people of the headquarters and followed behind Cao Jun far away to see what tricks there were?
Unexpectedly, Cao's army really retreated on all fronts, discarded supplies, marched day and night, first retreated to Cangting, and then returned to Liyang City, built pontoon bridges, prepared ships, and prepared to return to the south bank of the Yellow River!
The situation of the reconnaissance made Yuan Tan ecstatic, while receiving the city and picking up the loot; On the one hand, he connected the good news and publicized it loudly, so that everyone knew that he drove Cao Jun away!
Within a few days, the situation changed again, the Xin brothers did not return for a long time, but Yuan Tan ushered in an uninvited guest, Cao Jun's peace envoy - Jiang Gan!
………………………………………………………………
The two countries exchanged troops, and Yuan Tan ordered to open the camp gate, invited the envoys of Cao Ying to come in, and also set up a banquet to entertain them, and by the way, find out the other party's intentions!
"Under the order of the prime minister of my family, I came to visit the eldest prince of Yuan, hoping to strike the army and negotiate peace, rebuild the old good, divide the north and the south from now on, and jointly protect the Han Dynasty!"
Jiang Gan is personable, articulate, and a well-known lobbyist, and this time he came to the Qingzhou military camp with four conditions for discussion:
First, Cao and Yuan dismissed the army to negotiate peace, rebuild the old good, in order to show sincerity, Cao Cao was willing to give a concubine daughter, marry Yuan Tan as his wife, and conclude the good of Qin and Jin!
Second, the Cao army returned the occupied cities of Hebei and Qingdao, released a part of the Yuan army prisoners, and returned to the south bank of the Yellow River, and the Yuan army was not allowed to take advantage of the situation to chase and kill!
Third, the Yuan Group sold 100,000 taels of gold, 300,000 taels of silver, 300,000 pieces of silk, and 1 million taels of corn...... As compensation for Cao Jun's retreat!
Fourth, the city of Bingzhou and the Hetao Plain were captured by the Cao army from the Huns in a bloody battle, and they should belong to the Cao Ying group, and the Yuan clan must not take them back!
The four conditions are undoubted, as long as Yuan Tan agrees, Cao Jun will immediately hand over the city and return to the south bank of the Yellow River.
"Cao Gong is high-spirited and bright, and he intends to stop fighting, it's really good, as for the matter of concluding a marriage, my son can't ask for it, so he immediately sent someone to hire him and agreed on the marriage date!"
Yuan Tan did not hesitate at all about the four conditions of the negotiation, and agreed to all of them, and was surprised and delighted:
Surprisingly, although Cao Jun suffered a setback, he did not show his defeat, but occupied a certain upper hand.
He also sent someone to investigate, and got a little gossip, saying that Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Quan of Jiangdong were united to prepare an army of 300,000 to attack Xuchang City from behind.
Happily, the object of Cao Jun's peace negotiation is not Yuan Shang in Yecheng, not Yuan Xi who leads the coalition army, but himself, which shows that in Cao Cao's mind, Yuan Tan is the lord of Hebei!
It is even better to conclude a marriage relationship, with Cao Cao as the father-in-law, Yuan Tan will also have a backer, and it will be much easier to deal with Yuan Shang and Yuan Xu!
The state is poor and remote, sparsely populated, it is a broken bone, and it is nothing to discard, if you force this place, you will inevitably offend Xiao Yi, then the gain outweighs the loss, the city can still be abandoned, and money is not a problem!
Yuan Tan also thought about it, after he took control of Hebei, he would work hard and recuperate, and in just seven or eight years, he would be able to recover his vitality, at that time, everything he lost now would be ten times back!
"In this way, congratulations to the eldest prince - high-ranking officials have to sit, beauties have to hug, take charge of Hebei, and dominate one side!"
Jiang Gan hugged his fists and saluted, complimented him well, and took out a copy of the imperial court's holy decree, and the imperial pen Zhu approved: Yuan Tan was crowned as a general, and he also led Jizhou Mu!
