hehe!

Ignoring Cao Pi, He Yan turned to ask Cao Zhi: "Cao Zhi, do you have any thoughts about Mrs. Zhen?"

Cao Zhi, who was playing with a flower, snorted coldly: "Woman? What's so good about that?"

He Yan was obviously extremely satisfied after hearing this answer.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved!"

As a close friend of Yuan Shao, no one except a few people cared about what Cao Cao did after Yuan Shao's death.

But as the biggest competitor of Yuan Shao Group, Cao Cao Group would be really out of ideas if it didn't do something after Yuan Shao's death.

Without any hesitation, Cao Cao's staff drew up a complete plan to send troops the day after learning of Yuan Shao's death.

Cao Cao will personally lead Xuchang's 20,000 elite troops across the Yellow River to attack Yuan Tan, who has been garrisoned at Liyang.

If he could gain a foothold in Liyang, it would mean that Cao Cao would have a bridgehead where he could take the lead in future wars.

After Cao Cao came out, Yuan Shang also tried to take advantage of him.

Li Yang was supported by Yuan Tan. Yuan Shang, with his attitude of "sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight", did not think about supporting him. Instead, he placed the battlefield on the west side of Hedong, trying to knock down the mountain and shake the tiger, so that Cao Cao knew that he could not do it because of it.

I despise myself because I am a junior.

Yuan Shang ordered Guo Yuan, the governor of Hedong who he had ennobled, Gao Gan, the governor of Bingzhou, and Shanyu Luan of the Southern Huns, Hu Chuquan, to join tens of thousands of troops, and colluded with Ma Teng and other princes in Guanzhong to launch an attack on Guanzhong guarded by Zhong Yao.

.

Guanzhong has been plagued by Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others for so many years. Coupled with several major natural disasters, Guanzhong has long lost its prosperity.

It was during the past few years of Zhong Yao's governance that the Chang'an area in Guanzhong slowly began to show some vitality. Naturally, Zhong Yao could not sit back and watch the seedlings he had finally cultivated be destroyed by Yuan Shang.

Ask Cao Cao for help?

Then he fell into Yuan Shang's plan and made the world think that Yuan was still wise and powerful and could defeat others without fighting. This trend was undoubtedly unfavorable to Cao Cao.

So Zhong Yao can only find a way on his own!

He first sent Zhang Ji to persuade Ma Teng and Chen Qing to make Ma Teng rebel.

Later, when Yuan Jun crossed the river, Zhong Yao personally led the troops out and caught Yuan Jun by surprise.

In the chaotic battle, Guo Yuan was beheaded by Ma Teng's general Pang De. Upon seeing this, Hu Chuquan and Gao Gan had no choice but to surrender to Zhong Yao.

Once the war on the west side ended, Cao Cao no longer had any worries and began to attack Liyang day and night. This undoubtedly caused Yuan Tan who was stationed in Liyang extremely painful.

"Why haven't Yuan Shang's reinforcements arrived yet?"

He stationed in Liyang for political gain, but he never thought of using his body as a human shield to block Cao Cao's sword!

To be honest, Yuan Tan's military ability is not bad, but if he compares with Cao Cao, he is obviously looking for the wrong opponent.

After a few days, had it not been for the difficult-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain of Liyang, Yuan Tan might not have followed in the footsteps of his father Yuan Shao.

What annoyed Yuan Tan the most was that Yecheng was so close to Liyang, but Yuan Shang had no intention of supporting him at all and just watched him get beaten!

If Yuan Tan didn't still have a bit of "Yuan family noble" reserve, Yuan Tan would have thought of simply surrendering to Cao Cao and everyone would be finished together!

Just when Yuan Tan could no longer hold on, an envoy finally arrived in Yecheng.

And the person who came here was none other than Feng Ji, the great hero who supported Yuan Shang's succession.

As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other. When Yuan Tan saw Feng Ji, he wanted to get rid of him immediately!

However, for the sake of Yecheng's reinforcements, Yuan Tan did not go too far, but gave Feng Ji face and allowed him to sit down.

"Feng Yuan Tu! When will reinforcements from Yecheng arrive?"

What Yuan Tan didn't know was that he would never wait for this reinforcement in his lifetime.

Before Feng Ji came, he discussed the current situation with Shen Pei and Yuan Shang.

For Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan and Cao Cao are actually threats. Now that he can finally watch them consuming their strength in Liyang, why wouldn't Yuan Shang do it?

Secondly.

It must be true that Yuan Tan could not defeat Cao Cao.

But Yuan Tan is now fighting a defensive battle!

Defensive warfare means that as long as there are sufficient resources, even a pig can defend it for a while!

Yuan Tan has accumulated a lot of wealth in Qingzhou. If Yuan Tan can lose all these wealth in Liyang, it will still be a clever move to weaken Yuan Tan.

Even if I think a little darker, it's not that Yuan Tan can't defeat Cao Cao? Instead, he simply wants to take advantage of Yuan Shang to send troops to support Yuan Shang's troops?

Anyway, the two brothers are now speculating on each other with the greatest malice. Even Cao Cao, who defeated their father, does not pay attention to him, but treats him as his own chess piece... It can only be said that the Yuan family is "fighting among themselves"

" and "arrogance" are written in the bones and cannot be changed.

When Feng Ji heard that Yuan Tan asked for Yuan Jun from him, he immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Master Yuan Tan should know that before his death, the lord planned to send troops to pacify Zhang Yan. Now that these soldiers and baggage have not been withdrawn, I am afraid it will be difficult to support Yuan Tan."

Young Master fights."

As a prince, how could Yuan Tan not understand Feng Ji's refusal?

He laughed angrily: "Good! Good! What a Yuan Shang! What a judge with a strong and straight nature! What a group of loyal and capable ministers!"

"Since Yuan Shang is unwilling to send me reinforcements, then I will send him a gift!"

Fengji asked curiously: "What gift?"

Yuan Tan smiled ferociously: "Of course it's your head!"

I had a sore throat for the past three days and couldn't swallow anything. Today I was finally able to eat a little bit, but after I ate it, I realized that my sense of taste was gone...(⊙︿⊙)
