Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses accelerated their marching speed. At this moment, they had crossed the Yellow River and were rushing towards the place of Shiquan.
Along the way, Yuan Tan was not only stepping up his march, but he was also thinking about a person along the way, and that person who was marching with him was also thinking about him at the moment.
That person is none other than Pang Ji.
Yuan Shao reunited the two enemies and headed to Shiquan together.
The two of them hate each other so much that they wish they could take time out of their busy schedules to strangle each other to death. How can they work together to fight against the enemy?
But some things are just thoughts after all. Without proper reasons and real evidence, they can't really do anything to each other.
Otherwise, they would probably be the ones who were strangled to death by Yuan Shao.
While marching, Yuan Tan suddenly received a report from the frontline scouts, saying that Yan Liang had heard that the eldest son was coming and sent a troop and asked his deputy Tu Xiong to come personally to greet Yuan Tan.
After hearing this, Yuan Tan couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Yan Liang was a rare and tough general under the command of General Yuan Shao. He rarely flattered others and never voted on which of Yuan Shao's sons would inherit Hebei's foundation. Like Zhang He, he was purely neutral.
And I have never heard of Yan Liang taking the initiative to greet anyone in front of the battle. Today he sent someone to greet Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan felt that this clearly meant that Yan Liang was optimistic about him.
Yuan Tan was a very arrogant person, so he immediately found Pang Ji and showed off his arrogance to him.
When Pang Ji heard this, his face fell longer than that of a donkey.
Not to mention that he was originally from Yuan Shang's family, even if he wasn't, he couldn't stand Yuan Tan's demeanor of being a villain.
He didn't refute Yuan Tan, nor did he praise him. He simply ignored him.
Pang Ji just held his breath and didn't speak.
The next day, Yuan Tan and his men marched south again. Before they had gone an hour, a scout came in front and reported that they were Tu Xiong's troops sent by Yan Liang to meet them, and they were already less than ten miles away.
After a while, the two sides were already in a formation where they could vaguely see each other.
Seeing the "Tu Xiong Army" approaching from a distance, Yuan Tan felt even more proud. He waved to Pang Ji, then pointed to the opposite side and said with a smile, "Yuan Tu Gong, have you seen it?"
Pang Ji secretly scolded Yuan Tan for his success as a villain.
"What did the eldest son want me to see?"
Yuan Tan chuckled and said, "Of course they are the soldiers sent by General Yan Liang to greet my son."
"Ah! I saw it, I saw it." Pang Ji responded to Yuan Tan casually.
Yuan Tan sighed with emotion and said, "I didn't expect that General Yan may seem rough and arrogant on weekdays, but he is also a careful person who understands etiquette and respect. A general who can do this can be called a Confucian general."
It’s not simple.”
Pang Ji almost vomited when he heard this.
Can Yan Liang also be called a Confucian general?
You might as well call yourself the First Emperor!
Pang Ji said to Yuan Tan angrily, "At this time of war, the three major princes in the north have all mobilized their armies. Tao Shang has many strong generals under his command. Yan Liang has a great responsibility. He does not use available troops to occupy the enemy on the front line. Instead, he sends
When we welcome the reinforcements, we really don’t distinguish between priorities, the name does not match the reality, and the title of general is in vain.”
When Yuan Tan heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
He was about to say a few words of reprimand to Pang Ji, but suddenly, something seemed to come to his mind, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"Pang Yuantu, how dare you...speak of the general behind your back?" Yuan Tan shouted with an angry look on his face.
Pang Ji was stunned when he heard this and didn't know why.
When did I slander your father?
"I-I didn't!"
"No?" Yuan Tan smiled fiercely and said, "Yan Liang is an important general who is brave enough to win the three armies. His position as a general is also personally conferred by the general. This time he went south to conquer Cao Cao and Tao Shang. He has important tasks and is subject to
The general trusts me, but if you say that he does not live up to his name, aren't you questioning the general?"
"ah?"
Pang Ji was shocked when he heard this.
This is such an outrageous frame-up! Isn’t this pure frame-up?
"My lord, please don't slander me! I didn't mean that!"
Yuan Tan said fiercely, "That's what you mean, come here! Get Pang Ji for me!"
Two cavalrymen came from behind, one on the left and one on the right, and clamped the horses on the horse.
Pang Ji immediately became anxious when he saw this: "Eldest Master, how dare you arbitrarily frame the lord's staff?"
Yuan Tan raised his face and said, "This is not a trap, here is the real evidence! Everyone has heard it, how dare you deny it?"
"I, I'm so stupid." Pang Ji yelled, and just about to scold Yuan Tan, suddenly, his peripheral vision glanced far ahead, and he couldn't help but trembled, and turned his head hurriedly.
"My lord, there's something wrong with that...the soldiers and horses sent by Yan Liang!"
Yuan Tan sneered and said, "Pang Yuantu, don't bother talking about him. Yuan will not accept your tricks."
Pang Ji's forehead was dripping with cold sweat and he said, "No! I didn't make trouble with you!"
Yuan Tan sneered and said, "Who made trouble with you?"
"My lord, although those soldiers and horses are all wearing our army's armor and flying our army's flag, the other army's armor and flags are all a bit dilapidated. It's obvious that they have experienced the war... Some of the flags are missing corners.
, it is clear that he has experienced war..."
Yuan Tan turned his head and looked for a while, also hesitating.
"Yan Liang was originally here to fight. Isn't it normal to have experienced war..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the army on the opposite side and suddenly launched a charge against Yuan Tan and the others.
The cold sweat on Pang Ji's forehead dropped instantly.
"Then what's going on with their current charge?!"
Yuan Tan was also stunned at this moment.
"Bah!" Pang Ji spat fiercely, "Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan, you have fallen into the trap of the pottery merchant again!"
When he finished speaking, the other army had already rushed into the front line of Yuan Tan's army, instantly disrupting Yuan Tan's army formation, and the situation suddenly got out of control.
At the same time, two more Biao troops shot out from the side roads on both sides. They were obviously dressed in the costumes of the Xuzhou Army, but they came to match the Xuzhou Army disguised as Yan Liang's army.
"Don't panic! Don't be chaotic! Defend the enemy! Form a formation to defend against the enemy!" Yuan Tan shouted loudly to his men.
Pang Jiqi's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What's the use of forming a formation to defend against the enemy at this moment? If they dare to wear Yan Liang's military uniform to greet you, it means that Yan Liang has been defeated! How can we fight without Yan Liang here?
Pass Tao's army? Withdraw!"
Yuan Tan was now panicked and stopped arguing with Pang Ji. He immediately followed his instructions, turned his horse's head, and ran straight to the rear to escape.
But at this moment, Yuan Jun's troops and horses in front of the formation had been attacked. An elite Xuzhou cavalry was targeting Yuan Tan and quickly rushed towards the Chinese army.
The leader was Tao Shang's general Tai Shi Ci.
Taishi Ci rode a red rabbit horse with a neighing wind, bent his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at Yuan Tan's mount.
His archery skills are rare in the world, and he knocked Yuan Tan's horse to the ground with one arrow.
Without hesitation, Taishi Ci shot out another arrow.
Pang Ji's war horse also fell down in response.
During this period, the Red Rabbit Horse did not pause, moving forward as fast as fireworks, and rushed in front of Yuan Tan in an instant.
Taishi Ci used his halberd to gently touch the chest of Yuan Tan, who was lying on the ground and said "Ouch, ouch", and said with a smile, "Master Yuan, would you like to go to a certain house again?".
