However, my plan to drain the firepower also succeeded Yuan Tan. Because if Yuan Tan led the army, I am afraid that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang will still be afraid of Yuan Tan. But now Yuan Tan only has three troops left, which is
Nothing to worry about.
But this situation caught Cao Cao off guard. With the Yuan brothers joining forces, this force cannot be underestimated. Yuan Shang already had two battalions in Jizhou, and Yuan Xi brought two battalions from Youzhou.
Although my three battalions are staying out of the matter and the government will not send troops, now coupled with Yuan Tan's three troops, the Yuan brothers' military strength is very large.
It is powerful. Although it cannot be compared with Cao Cao's army, which is now at its peak, Cao Cao cannot take it in a short time. And around Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu and Sun Ce are all like wolves and tigers. Cao Cao really can't compete with him.
The Yuan brothers have been fighting a protracted war in Hebei. Coupled with the fact that I am a big tiger, Cao Cao certainly knows that I am more terrifying than those flies.
So Cao Cao's final choice was to occupy Qingzhou to end the trouble and stop marching to Hebei. This was based on Guo Jia's strategy. If the Yuan brothers were forced too hard, the three brothers would become a rope, and they would be powerful.
Strength. Once Cao Cao relaxes and enjoys Qingzhou with peace of mind, the three brothers will fight to the death again.
Sure enough, Ju Shou soon gave Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi a bad idea, planning to use Cao Cao's help to eliminate Yuan Tan. After all, although Yuan Tan brought few troops, he still had three stations. The troops of these three stations were stationed for a long time.
Jizhou is a thorn in Yuan Shang's side. And Yuan Xi also feels that Yuan Tan is an unstable factor here.
He also wanted to seize Jizhou, but on the one hand, he was not the boss like Yuan Tan, and on the other hand, he did not have the support of Yuan Shao during his lifetime like Yuan Shang, so he was not justified in his name. And if Yuan Xi wants to ascend to power, the most important step is to remove
Yuan Tan. As long as Yuan Tan is gone, he is the big one and can stand in the position where Yuan Tan stood before to deal with Yuan Shang.
For Yuan Shang, he was more eager to get rid of Yuan Tan than Yuan Xi. After all, Yuan Tan was always a real threat to him. So the two brothers hit it off and decided to lure Cao Cao to attack Yuan Tan. To this end, the brothers first sent out
Yuan Tan went to defend Wei County, and then sent a message to Cao Cao that as long as Cao Cao was willing to attack Wei County, the brothers would stand still.
Ever since Guo Jia made the big plan, Cao Cao has been waiting for this opportunity. So of course Cao Cao would not refuse this proposal, and soon the army invaded Wei County. Yuan Tan was desperate and fled alone to my Bohai and Qingzhou in Sansuo
All the soldiers were abandoned in Wei County. Seeing that Yuan Tan could not be trusted, these Qingzhou soldiers did not want to
After surrendering to Cao's army, my men arrived again, and they quietly withdrew from Wei County and headed straight for the Bohai Sea. When Yuan Tan saw these old subordinates again, these soldiers were already named Zhang. Especially those who were killed by Yuan Tan
The abandoned generals all followed me wholeheartedly. As a result, my military strength in the Bohai Sea reached eighteen stations.
I still attach great importance to the military strength of Yuan Tan's three units. Because in times of crisis, they are still willing to follow Yuan Tan, which shows that these are loyal and brave men. If it weren't for Yuan Tan abandoning them, they would definitely be against Cao Cao.
Caused trouble. But now, the strength of these three stations is
I have arranged to be permanently stationed in Bohai. With them, I believe that Bohai will be impregnable. And the main force of my three battalions have all been transferred to Youzhou. My purpose is very clear, which is to defend Youzhou and no longer let Yuan
Xi is back. As for the Yuan brothers, let them fight with Cao Cao.
The people of Jizhou soon understood that in the land of right and wrong in Jizhou, perhaps only the Bohai Sea was still stable. Seeing that Cao Cao was about to attack, many people began to migrate to the Bohai Sea to avoid this time.
Disaster of war.
And Cao Cao, who had taken Wei County, once again stopped moving forward in Wei County. Because he understood that the current relationship between Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang was just like the relationship between the two brothers and Yuan Tan before. As long as Cao Cao did not fight, these two
Sooner or later, brothers will be in trouble.
Sure enough, Yuan Xi, who had lost Youzhou, could no longer sit still. He suddenly launched a mutiny and put Yuan Shang under house arrest. But Jushu, who was beside Yuan Shang, escaped, pulled up Yuan Shang's pole, and vowed to attack Yuan Xi. The two sides started fighting in Jizhou.
Melee
, the competition was very fierce. Originally both sides had two battalions of troops, but in the end each had only two battalions left. At this time, Cao Cao repeated his old trick and led his army around Jizhou, and then killed the Yuan brothers.
