Mr. Yuan Tan is a person who dares to put his ideas into practice. He is also much better than his father, Mr. Yuan Sangong, in seizing opportunities. So he just sent the unconscious Mr. Yuan Sangong back to his dormitory and took a ride.

When the guards and doctors were busy rescuing Mr. Yuan Sangong, Mr. Yuan Tan couldn't wait to pull his best friend Guo Tu aside. He introduced his plan to Guo Tu in a low voice and asked for Guo Tu's opinion on the matter.

Of course, no matter how useless Young Master Yuan Tan is, even if he kills his father and seizes the throne in front of his close friends, Young Master Yuan Tan is embarrassed to say it directly, so Young Master Yuan Tan can only put forward such a question tactfully.

Hypothesis - if Sangong Dayuan unfortunately dies or remains unconscious forever, can he, as the eldest son, take over the command of an army of 300,000 people and establish himself as the lord of Jizhou?

"The young master winked at me. I thought the young master was planning to take this opportunity to punish Yuan Shang. It turns out that's the case." Not only did Mr. Guo Tu not understand what Mr. Yuan Tan meant, but he also said with some dissatisfaction: "Young Master, please leave now."

You have thought so far. My lord is just out of anger and temporarily unconscious. His life is not in danger. You should seize this opportunity and get rid of as many of Yuan Shang's followers in the team as possible."

"But what if my father becomes ill and cannot afford it?" Mr. Yuan Tan suddenly emphasized his tone and said hypothetically: "Or, if my father's condition suddenly worsens and just... dies of illness, I might be able to claim the title of Lord of Jizhou by myself?

"

"No..." Halfway through shaking his head, Mr. Guo Tu finally came to his senses, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "Master, are you...?"

Mr. Yuan Tan stopped talking and just looked at Guo Tu with cold eyes. Guo Tu was even more panicked and quickly pulled Mr. Yuan Tan further away from Mr. Yuan Sangong's sleeping tent, and then exclaimed in a lower voice: "

Young Master, are you crazy? He is your father!"

"What does father mean?" Mr. Yuan Tan said with a low voice and a sinister smile: "As far as I know, in the Qin Kingdom thousands of miles away in the west, there was a prince who not only killed his father, but also killed his father in their imperial city for the sake of the throne.

Entrance Xuanwumen killed all his brothers and sisters, took the throne in one fell swoop, and became a wise king whose name will last forever!"

Mr. Guo Tu began to tremble. Although Mr. Guo Tu had heard several coup stories from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Mr. Guo Tu had never heard of such ruthless methods as Li Shimin's. In addition, the sleeping tent of Duke Yuan was very close at hand.

When Mr. Guo Tu thought about what Mr. Yuan Tan was going to do, he could not help but tremble even more violently. He was so nervous that he forgot how to think about answering Mr. Yuan Tan's questions.

Seeing Mr. Guo Tu trembling and not speaking for a long time, Mr. Yuan Tan was a little angry and shouted in a low voice: "I haven't taken action yet, what's so scary? I'm just asking you now, if my father becomes ill and can't afford it, I will inherit thirty as the eldest son."

The command authority of Wan Dajun could become the master of the four states of Jiyou and Qingqing?!"

"I'm afraid..., I'm afraid it will be difficult." Guo Tu finally reacted and advised in a low voice: "The eldest son must not be in a hurry for success, not to mention that the eldest son is not yet established in prestige, and the people are not attached to him, and he is afraid that he will not be independent.

Everyone is dissatisfied, and the current situation alone does not allow the young master to do this. Now Cao Cao is facing a powerful enemy.

, our army's Wuchao Tun grain was burned, and the army's morale was in panic. If another accident happened to the lord, the army's morale and morale would inevitably collapse, and they would definitely suffer a disastrous defeat at the hands of Cao Cao. Therefore, even if the eldest son takes the position of the lord, he will not

It makes no sense at all, but in turn, I have to take the blame for others."

Speaking of this, Guo Tu quickly added: "If we take another ten thousand steps back, even if my three hundred thousand army can return in full force, you, the eldest son, will not be able to defeat Yuan Shang when you bring troops back to Jizhou. First, Yuan Shang is one of our troops."

There are still many party members

, Secondly, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiyouqing and the four prefectures are still alive, thirdly, our army's food and grass were burned, Yuan Shang, Shen Pei and others did not even need to take action, they only needed to cut off the supply of our army's food and grass, and within a few days, our army would not fight

It’s self-defeating!”

After hearing Guo Tu's persuasion, Yuan Tan's already gloomy face inevitably became even more gloomy. Guo Tu, who knew his character well, was also afraid that Yuan Tan would be confused, so he hurriedly said: "Sir, the most important thing now is to seize the opportunity to attack.

Cao Cao, the thief at Guandu Camp, if this can be successful, then all the problems of our army will be solved. Not only will the young master be able to establish a high prestige, but he will also be free from worries if he wants to do other things."

Mr. Yuan Tan thought about it carefully. Now that he is facing a powerful enemy, launching the Guandu Revolution at this time will only benefit Boss Cao in vain. However, if he kills Boss Cao's Guandu camp, it will not only help him establish a huge prestige in the army, but also help him establish great prestige in the army.

You can also make your Guandu incident completely worry-free, and even

You can rely on Yanzhou as your base to fight against your rival Third Brother who holds the rear of Jizhou. So after thinking about it again and again, Mr. Yuan Tan finally accepted Guo Tu's rare advice and nodded: "According to the public principles, attack first

Guandu is the highest priority, and I will take care of matters in the camp by myself."

"No." Mr. Guo Tu, who was worried that Young Master Yuan Tan would not listen to the persuasion, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed. He also warned uneasily: "Young Master, please be patient. You must be careful with some particularly sensitive matters. My Lord is ill."

It doesn’t matter if it’s too serious, you may wake up at any time. If you do it too much, if the master suddenly wakes up and finds out, it will be very serious.”

"I know." Mr. Yuan Tan waved his hand impatiently, and also warned: "Seize the opportunity, in addition to taking Guandu, try your best to send Yuan Shang and his gang to heaven."

Guo Tu once again clasped his fists and sang his promise, and discussed some details with Mr. Yuan Tan in a low voice, and then he and Mr. Yuan Tan went their separate ways. However, Guo and Yuan had just dispersed, and behind the small tent not far away,

The figure of Jizhou Supervisory Army Jushou also stood out. Jushou first looked at Guo Tu who was rushing to the big tent, and then looked at Young Master Yuan Tan who was striding into Yuan Sangong's dormitory. He was thoughtful and held hands tightly.

Clenched his fists.

Let’s take a look at the situation on Guo Tu’s side first. Although Mr. Guo Tu repeatedly advised Mr. Yuan Tan to act in a measured manner, Mr. Guo Tu was merciless in dispatching reinforcements to attack Guandu. In addition to Ma Yan,

Han Ding, Zhang Wei and other young masters of Yuan Shang

In addition to sending reinforcements to Guandu, the party members also sent as many Jizhou Army generals as possible who had offended them to Guandu to serve as cannon fodder, demanding that they capture Cao Jundu's camp at all costs. They also used the name of Yuan Sangong to threaten them if they failed.

Must engage in military law!

As for Zhang He, Gao Lan and others who had been sent to attack Guandu Cao camp before, considering that Zhang He, a mere general, dared to argue with himself, the temporary chief military advisor, about tactical arrangements - what was even more disgusting was that Zhang He proved that he was right.

Mr. Guo Tu was wrong, so Mr. Guo Tu was even more polite to Zhang He and Gao Lan. He sent envoys with chicken feathers as arrows to inform Zhang He and Gao Lan, asking General Zhang Gao to attack Cao Ying before You hour.

Otherwise, they will be beheaded as punishment!

Young Master Yuan Tan was not much better. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Sangong Yuan being unconscious, Young Master Yuan Tan, who was accompanying the army as Yuan Jun's shogunate commander, took advantage of the opportunity to arrange defense and took [***], Han Song and Ying Qian.

Waiting for Da Yuan Sangong’s confidant

The guard leaders all expelled Sangong Dayuan from his sleeping tent and replaced them with their close confidants. Even Tao Sheng, the most trusted guard chief of Sangong Dayuan, was expelled outside the tent by Mr. Yuan Tan on the pretext of protecting his sleeping tent.

Guard the camp gate.

Facing the rebellious orders of Mr. Yuan Tan, [***] and Han Song and others were in humble positions and dared to get angry but did not dare to speak out. They once saved the lives of Yuan Jun, the wife, children, and the whole family of Mr. Yuan Tan during the Zhang Yan Rebellion.

Tao Sheng, the general of Jianyi Zhonglang, refused to give in at all. He also made a big excuse.

Mr. Yuan Sangong once had a strict order not to go more than ten steps away from Mr. Yuan Sangong. He argued with Mr. Yuan Tan and refused to leave Mr. Yuan Sangong's bed room no matter what. He had a heated argument with Mr. Yuan Tan and ignored Mr. Yuan Tan.

No matter how intimidated or intimidated he was, he refused to leave Sangong Dayuan's side.

The dispute between Tao Sheng and Mr. Yuan Tan finally ended with Jushu's persuasion and each side gave in. Tao Sheng agreed to Jushu's suggestion and stayed in front of the dormitory to guard. Mr. Yuan Tan, whose life was also saved by Tao Sheng, did not dare to be too aggressive.

After being exposed, he was forced to agree to let Tao Sheng be responsible for the defense of the sleeping tent. Jushou also took this opportunity to obtain Tao Sheng's consent in private and put his own son Juhu into the house.

He was assigned to the guard of Sangong Dayuan, and took turns with Tao Sheng to protect the safety of Sangong Dayuan's sleeping quarters. Jushu himself served beside Sangong Dayuan. Whether it was decoction or drinking water, Jushou asked the guards and attendants to go first.

He tried the poison by taking it, and then he personally tested the poison for Mr. Yuan Sangong, and finally fed it to Mr. Yuan Sangong. Mr. Yuan Tan hated it, but he had nothing to do.

Serious internal strife was a pain for Yuan Shao's troops who were fighting on the field. Jushou, Yuan Tan and Guo Tu were all focused on internal strife and had no thought of sending light cavalry to search and intercept Cao's troops who had returned to camp after a sneak attack on Wuchao. They also had no orders.

The teams of Wen Chou and Han Meng who arrived at Wuchao tried their best to hunt down and kill Cao Jun's exhausted troops.

The opportunity for the large troops to successfully withdraw to Guandu also left the Yuan Army's light cavalry troops led by Wen Chou and Han Meng completely at a loss in Wuchao. They didn't know whether they should search and kill Cao Jun's troops with all their strength, withdraw their troops back to camp, or stand by where they were? So Wen Chou and Han Meng

The 20,000 elite cavalry led by Meng could only conduct a hasty search of the surrounding area, and then stayed in place to wait for orders.

The ones who suffered the most were the troops of Zhang He and Gao Lan. The infantry team they led was ambushed by Cao Jun as soon as they attacked Cao Ying. After suffering heavy casualties, they finally managed to break out of Cao Jun's siege, but in the end they didn't even have water to drink.

Without taking a bite of their last meal, they were ordered to continue attacking Cao Jundu's camp, which was extremely fortified. Zhang He and Gao Lan had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead their troops forward again, and hid behind a strong wall.

Cao's army fought bloody battles. Later, although the main camp of Yuan's army sent reinforcements several times, these reinforcements were either second-line auxiliary troops that were difficult to put in use, or the troops of Prince Yuan Shang sent by Yuan Tan and Guo Tu to kill people.

None of the soldiers and generals wanted to die in vain, they were all trying to save their strength and make mistakes, so the poor generals Zhang He and Gao Lan were always at the forefront, as well as their own troops who were just as unlucky as them.

During this period, news of Wuchao's fall also spread to the Guandu battlefield, which boosted the morale of Cao's army and made his soldiers fight even harder. Yuan Shao's army was shaken in morale and morale. Not only was it less able to break through the Guandu camp, it was also defeated.

Xiahou Dun, who led 500 dead soldiers out of the camp, made a counterattack and caused chaos. He was forced to retreat five miles to reorganize his troops. At this time, the death order issued by Guo Tu in the name of Sangong of Yuan Dynasty also arrived at the same time.

Zhang He and Gao Lan are in front of the army.

"Beat Cao Ying before Youshi?!" Gao Lan, who had a relatively short temper, roared angrily, yelling: "There is less than an hour left, how do you want us to break Cao Ying?"

"General, forgive me, this is not a question that a villain can answer." The envoy sent by Guo Tu was not very polite, but said arrogantly: "In short, this is the order of the lord. We cannot attack Cao's camp before Youshi.

I will ask for the heads of the two generals!"

"Every man! Die!"

Gao Lan couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly he raised his hand and shot the messenger, and asked Guo Tu to stab him to death under the guise of the messenger sent by Yuan Sangong. Zhang He over there was shocked and jumped up and asked Gao Lan why he was like this. Gao Lan was furious and shouted

He roared: "An army of 300,000 people has been attacking for two months, but they still can't break through."

Cao Jun's camp in Guandu actually asked us to take it within an hour, and even said that if we couldn't take it, we would take our heads as punishment! Yuan Shaopi was so disrespectful to the soldiers, why should we work hard for him? Instead of sitting back and waiting to die, why not

Go to Cao Cao and get a wife, a son, and a title in the imperial court!"

Zhang He's face changed, and he soon raised his gun and shouted: "Soldiers, Yuan Shao is accustomed to listening to slander, being nepotistic, unclear about rewards and punishments, being mean and unkind. Now that Wuchao has fallen, if we continue to follow Yuan Shao, we will be lonely souls."

Wild ghosts, instead of dying for Yuan Shao, you should go and surrender to Cao Cao! Those who are willing to follow us to surrender to Prime Minister Cao can go with us, and those who don't want to can stay as they please!"

Lord Yuan Sangong's control over his troops is not as good as that of Boss Cao and Deputy Director Tao. Zhang He and Gao Lan's troops fought fiercely for another day without making any progress. The soldiers under their command have long been hungry, thirsty and full of resentment. Now they are full of resentment.

Hearing that the generals leading the troops had decided to surrender, the lower-level generals and ordinary soldiers in Zhang He and Gao Lan's team naturally responded with thunder. Countless people rushed to shout, "I am willing to surrender to Cao with the general! I am willing to surrender to Cao with the general!"

…………The defection of Zhang He and Gao Lan’s troops was no longer as simple as adding insult to injury to Yuan Shaojun’s troops who had already lost Wuchao Granary, but a complete fatal blow.

When Yu Zai saw Zhang He, Gao Lan's team raised the white flag.

When heading to Guandu to surrender, Yuan Shao's army including Ma Yan, Han Ding and Zhang Wei who were behind were so surprised that they forgot to step forward to stop or pursue them. They watched in disbelief as Zhang He and Gao Lan fell into the arms of Boss Cao.

The morale of the entire army was greatly depleted, and the morale of the army was completely in chaos.

After the news came back to Yuan Shaojun's camp, Mr. Yuan Tan, who was planning how to kill his father and seize the throne, also looked pale, knowing that the morale of his army was completely ruined. Mr. Guo Tu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he could finally take over.

The blame for poor tactical decision-making was placed on Zhang He and Gao Lanshen

On the way, Jushou was very calm and immediately suggested to Mr. Yuan Tan: "My eldest son, the matter has come to this, there is no use regretting it. The only plan for now is to make two preparations. First, inform all the battalions as soon as possible.

Just say that the follow-up food and fodder for our army will arrive in a few days, and the soldiers will not run out of food."

"The follow-up food and fodder will arrive in a few days? Why haven't I heard the news about when?" Mr. Yuan Tan asked in surprise.

"If you don't say this, Master, the morale of our army will collapse immediately, so we can only temporarily deceive the soldiers." Jushou replied coldly, and then said: "Second, Master, please send someone to arrest Xuzhou Taoying immediately.

Invite the messenger and ask him to wait outside the tent. When the Lord wakes up, he may be summoned at any time."

"I can't come." Mr. Yuan Tan answered very simply this time, saying: "Yesterday afternoon, my father ordered someone to behead him, and gave his head to his entourage, who asked him to take it back to Changyi.

I gave it to the Tao thieves as a sign of severing friendship. You, sir, were not in the tent at the time, so you didn’t know about it."

Jushu's face finally turned pale. After a long time, Jushu suddenly sighed and said: "If God does evil, it is still illegal, but if man does evil, he will not live! I have 300,000 soldiers in Jizhou. I really don't know how many of them can return to Hebei!"

" Before he finished speaking, Jushou was already sobbing.

"Alarmist!" Mr. Yuan Tan was not as desperate as Ju Shou. He only cursed Ju Shou in a low voice for his pessimistic attitude, and thought in his mind: "It seems that Guandu has no hope of turning defeat into victory. But if I send an envoy to contact Cao Cao,

Contact Cao Cao, negotiate a truce, and take the team back to Jizhou to compete with Yuan Shang for the throne. I wonder if Cao Cao will agree..."
