Chapter 2 The Precarious War(1/2)

Although it was troublesome to put on a crown, change clothes, and wash one's appearance, Yuan Shang had to do it step by step.

The ancients paid great attention to appearance and etiquette, especially for a family like the Yuan family with four generations and three fathers, they regarded these trivial and complicated superficial matters as the top priority.

Several attendants dressed up Yuan Shanghaosheng, and then took out a small bronze mirror for him to examine.

I have to admit that although the reputation of the third son of the Yuan family in history is not very good, but in terms of appearance alone, he has a nose as bold as a gallbladder, eyebrows as soft as swords, eyes like stars, and a rich and handsome figure.

I have a good skin! The only drawback is that my face is a little pale and disfigured because of the cold.

Compared with Yuan Xi, who looks a little overly burly and a bit honest, Yuan Shang's appearance is really more than a little better than him.

Thinking about it, I remember that there were records in history books in my previous life, saying that Yuan Shao himself was a handsome and heroic man who attached great importance to external things. The reason why he doted on his third son Yuan Shang and even passed the throne to him was because Yuan Shang himself was extraordinarily handsome.

It has the same level and charm as when I was young.

Compared with Lao Cao's family, Lao Yuan's family may not be good at fighting on the battlefield, but they all have handsome children.

After finishing dressing up, Yuan Shang hurriedly walked outside the tent. From the bed to the entrance of the tent, which was only a short distance of more than ten steps, Yuan Shang stumbled and stumbled three full somersaults. This shows that his current physical condition is too severe.

Bad.

Yuan Xi couldn't bear to see it, and hurried forward to help him, and said helplessly: "Third brother, look at you, you are still staggering when walking, what can you do if you run to the commander's tent? What can you do in the future?

Can’t say? It has to be today!”

Yuan Shang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "You think I have no time to run around and make fun of you? Who dares not to pay attention to a matter of life and death? It's easy for me to lie down in bed now, but I'm afraid I won't have a bed to lie down in a few years."

——Sleep directly in the coffin! Two more pictures need to be prepared for this coffin, one for the head...and one for the body...

"Second brother, you don't understand. Now we are on fire. If I delay seeing my father, I'm afraid that before long, the four-state foundation that my father has worked so hard to build will have to be handed over to others. The Battle of Guandu is over.

It's a desperate situation, and defeat can only happen in the blink of an eye. You, me, including my father, are all standing on the edge of the cliff now!"

Yuan Xi was shocked when he heard the words. He glanced around hurriedly, then leaned over and said to Yuan Shang in a very low voice: "Third brother, are you crazy? How can you say such nonsense! My father is most taboo when marching.

Unfavorable words! If anyone with evil intentions spreads these words, father will be heavily responsible for you!"

Yuan Shang gave it a wry smile and said helplessly: "Second brother, you don't believe me?"

"I....."

Yuan Xi was suddenly speechless. He really couldn't believe that these words were spoken by his arrogant brother who despised the world's heroes.

What Yuan Xi couldn't believe even more was the content of Yuan Shang's words. The famous family of the fourth generation and the three princes, the lord of Hebei with millions of soldiers, and the powerful Northland hero who dominated the Yan Dynasty would be defeated by outsiders! How is this possible?

Yuan Shang was not stupid. Although Yuan Xi didn't say anything, he could tell from his expression that Yuan Xi would not be wary of his harsh words.

On the contrary, Yuan Xi's expression made him truly feel that at this moment, in Yuan Xi's eyes, he was completely confused and had no idea what he was talking about!

This is true for Yuan Xi, let alone Yuan Shao.

"I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. I have to go to the Central Military Tent as soon as possible!" Yuan Shang turned his head aside, discarding his messy thoughts, and turned around and walked eagerly outside the tent.

At this moment, regardless of whether he believed it or not, the length of his future life was more important than anything else. At this point, a dead horse was a living doctor, and he had to give it a try no matter what.

Yuan Xi stared at Yuan Shang's back in shock for a while. Why did this third brother become so weird today? If he didn't think highly of him and allowed him to go to his father and talk nonsense, how could it be so bad?

Stomping his feet, Yuan Xi chased him out, grabbed Yuan Shang, and said solemnly: "Third brother, do you really have to go?"

Yuan Shang turned to look at Yuan Xi and said, "Second brother, the situation waits for no one. If you don't go, you will just sit back and wait for death..."

"Okay, then you sit in my brother's car and I will accompany you to see your father!"

*************************

"drive!"

Not long after, a two-horse chariot rushed out of Yuan Shang's camp and rushed towards the Chinese army's headquarters where Yuan Shao was at great speed.

On top of the chariot, on one side was Yuan Xi, who was sitting upright with a frown on his face... and on the other side, was Yuan Shang, who was pale and tilted away from the carriage. Looking at his appearance, he was about to vomit.

.

The central military camp where Yuan Shao is located is about five miles away from Yuan Shang's camp. It is the main camp that lives deepest in Yuan's army. It is blocked by the camps on the east, west, south and north. The package is tightly sealed and watertight. Even if it is Yuan Xi's battle

The car was stopped and interrogated several times by patrolling sentries along the way, which shows the strictness of the defense.

On the way to Yuan Shao's handsome tent, Yuan Shang couldn't help but be slightly shocked deep in his heart.

There are villages upon villages and camps upon camps. There are military tents within a hundred steps. There are stacks of wolf smoke as far as the eye can see. There is a continuous line of wadding for ten miles in radius. There are spears and spears standing on the ground.

In the camp, the sergeants were coming and going with their chariots and horses, their momentum was like a rainbow, they really looked like a military force.

These are the soldiers under Yuan Shao's command. This is the powerful force under the command of the hero of Hebei who spans the four states, including the Yan Dynasty, and goes south to compete for the world!

From Yecheng to Jizhou, from Jizhou to Hebei, and then from Hebei to Wuhuan in the north, most of the world was conquered by Yuan Shao, and it is still firmly in his hands.

The Yangtze River is rolling, the waves are washing away the sand, and even though Yuan Shao failed in history, he was stronger, more glorious, and more glorious after all.

Looking at this military appearance and this grand occasion, who has the qualifications to say that Yuan Shao is not a great hero?

While Yuan Shang secretly lamented Yuan Shao's military strength, a question suddenly appeared that he couldn't help but ponder in detail...

Someone who can completely defeat someone with such a grand military appearance...Cao Cao, what a terrible guy he is!

The voice of the soldiers driving the car brought Yuan Shang back to reality from his endless thoughts: "Second Young Master! Third Young Master! In front of you is the lord's Chinese army tent. Please get off the car and walk."

Yuan Xi turned over first, jumped down from the carriage, and turned around and said: "Second brother, you are not allowed to ride horses and cars in front of the commander's tent. Just hold on and let me help you pass."

"No, I'm not so weak that I can't even walk these few trails..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shang staggered as he got off the carriage, his legs so weak that he almost lost his breath.

The more anxious you are, the more trouble you will have! Your butt is on fire, but this body is still carrying a cold chill.

God is going to kill him...

Yuan Shang decided not to show off, and it was better to go to see Yuan Shao quickly and neatly.

"Second brother, you'd better help me in. I'm weak, so I'd be very grateful if I could trouble you to be a little gentler."

Yuan Xi: "......."

*********************

Yuan's Central Army tent.

The commander's tent of Yuan Jun's main camp occupies an area of ​​about one wing. Compared with ordinary military academy tents, it is about three times larger.

There are four copper braziers placed at the four corners deep in the commander's tent. Red firewood is burning in the basins. The writing desk is neatly arranged in the middle, and the slips on the desk are neatly placed. On the northwest side, there is a neatly stacked bed, with a piece of brocade red cotton spread on it.

, the green smoke inside the incense cauldron in the center all shows that the owner of this handsome tent has clear behavior and pays attention to etiquette.

On the main seat behind the desk, there is a person wearing golden armor, red robes, a high cyan crown on his head, and a half-inch short beard on his chin. He is neatly trimmed, clean, and his body is straight. He does not appear to be in his fifties at all.

The posture that a person should have, with a pair of slender starry eyes that are very lively when they are opened and closed, can be said to be a majestic appearance and extremely heroic.

Needless to say, this man is Yuan Shao, the hero of Hebei and the number one prince in the world today.

His eyes swept back and forth around the civil and military ministers standing on both sides of the handsome tent, and Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with a bit of anger and unwillingness.

"Everyone."

After Yuan Shao was silent for a long time, he finally spoke slowly. The civil and military officials on both sides shivered, turned their heads, bowed and humbly, and listened carefully.

"According to the report from the spies, Xu You fled south overnight after leaving our camp the night before yesterday. His behavior was very strange. Although I sent scouts back and forth to investigate afterwards, this beast was cunning and well-hidden.

There is no trace of him. After thinking about it, I am afraid that Xu You has surrendered to Cao Cao. This person has been with me for many years and knows the true strength of our army. He must have a plan to surrender to Cao Ah Mao this time. Do you have any good strategies to control it?

"

When he finished speaking, everyone present was seen stroking their beards, twisting their brows into the Chinese character "Sichuan", or frowning. They were obviously troubled by Xu You's surrender to the enemy.

It’s no wonder that when the two armies are fighting, if a person who knows his own side’s weakness and true strength defectes to the enemy’s camp, the impact and involvement will be considerable. It doesn’t matter if Xu You leaves alone, but all the defenses, defenses, and defenses in Yuan Shao’s army camp will be

The recently decided offensive strategy will probably have to be re-formulated, and the material, financial, and human resources it will consume cannot be easily solved with just a few words of advice.

"My lord, Xu You is well aware of the reality of our army. If we really surrender to Cao Cao, the disaster will be great. The most urgent task is to replace all the horses, bows and crossbows, secret sentries, and camp defenses in our army! To prevent Cao's army from stealing the camp." The first person to stand up.

It's the advice of the advisers.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he nodded his head and said deeply: "Yuan Tu's words are very good. Cao A is cunning and cunning, and his tricks are the most sinister. If we get the truth about our army, there is no guarantee that he will not have any plans, but we should strengthen our defenses...

...Come, pass on my military order and order the soldiers of the three armies to change the camp deployment overnight to guard against Cao's army's night attack!"

"My lord, wait a minute!"

Just as he finished speaking, another scribe with a thin face and high cheekbones came out to admonish him: "My lord, Feng Yuantu's words are fallacious and cannot be accepted! My lord has known Cao Cao for many years and knows that this thief is cunning and cunning.

Extremely deep, the most suspicious! Xu You abandoned the strong and surrendered to the weak. Just imagine with Cao Cao's character, how could he not be suspicious? How could he trust him so easily! The lord changed the camp layout at this time, which was really a waste of manpower. It is better to take advantage of it.

When Xu You didn't gain the trust of Cao Cao's thieves, he used a large number of swords and soldiers to storm Guandu, which was much better than the defense!"

The speaker is none other than Jizhou Biejia Guo Tu.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly and said deeply: "Guo Gongze's words... are also quite reasonable."

"My lord, no!"

When he saw Guo Tu blatantly smashing his place, he was immediately angry and went out to rush to say: "My lord, Guo Tu is pedantic! What kind of person is Cao Tu? Don't you know the principle of cutting off when it's time to cut him off? Besides, Xu You has something to do with him.

How could the old ones not be reused? At this critical moment, we must not rush into the army. The best strategy is to hold on to the camp first and then plan to cross the border!"

Yuan Shao's fingers twirling his beard moved faster obviously, and he nodded while stroking: "Yes, Cao A'ao, I and Xu You are all old friends. Yuan Tu's words are on point..."
