Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

"General Gan, do we still need to chase?"

Watching the Wu Guoshui pawn gradually go away, Zhou Tai hurriedly asked.

Gan Ning thought for a while and said, "Our goal is to take down Qingzhou. It's fine if the opponent leaves. We don't need to pursue."

Gan Ning didn't want to damage the battlefield just because of the first actual battle. Cao Shuo repeatedly reminded that the navy of Wu State was very powerful, and the navy led by Zhou Yu should not be underestimated.

Zhou Tai said unwillingly: "It's a pity that no general was caught."

Gan Ning smiled and said: "The general is in the water station, and he will play a commanding role. It doesn't matter whether we catch him or not. We already know the opponent's shortcomings, so there is no need to chase him down."

The opponent's building boat did not throw stones, and secondly, it did not have a bed crossbow. I don't know if it was intentional, or it was forgotten at home.

When he was in Jingzhou, he also met Sun Ce's navy. At that time, all his buildings were equipped with bed crossbows and catapults. I don't know why these buildings did not have them.

Zhou Tai said meaningfully: "The other party's looting has not been completed, we will continue their work!"

After Sun Ce's army retreated, only Cao Shuo and Yuan Shao's soldiers remained in Qingzhou. Yuan Shao was horrified when he received the news of the defeat of the Soochow navy.

Sun Ce has been bragging that his navy is invincible, and Cao Shuo's cavalry is invincible in the Central Plains. Unexpectedly, in this battle, Invincible did not see it. He lost a few warships and fled the battlefield. This escape was faster than him. Yuan Shao is still strong.

Yuan Shao stood on the city wall, looking gloomyly at the south.

Hmph, what kind of bullshit is invincible.

They are all putting gold on their faces, imitating Cao Shuo, and never bragging. As a result, they are unmatched in water and land battles.

bah bah bah!
Why should I praise Cao Shuo?

"Report, the eldest son was defeated and retreated to Linqu, and the second son was captured alive by Cao Shuo's general Zhang He. Cao Shuo's nearly [-] troops surrounded our country of Qi."

Yuan Shao shook his hand, and the battle report in his hand fell to the ground.

In less than five days in Qingzhou, there are only a few counties left in Qi State.

How to do?
Abandon the city and go to seek refuge with Yuan Shu and Sun Ce?
Or carry it to the end and live and die with the city?
Yuan Shao was caught in a dilemma.

After the fall of Qingzhou, there will be no more obstacles in Cao Shuo's territory, and he is very likely to win it next. After all, Yuan Shu has no generals under his command, so Cao Shuo is the best target for bullying.

Thinking back when he was the leader of the alliance, he was manipulated by Cao Shuo. Two years later, he still has not escaped from Cao Shuo's clutches.

Was it because he was born at the wrong time, or that Cao Shuo just wanted to fight against him?

Yuan Shao looked up to the sky and sighed: "Since Shao was born, He gave birth to Cao!"

Wang Xiu suggested: "My lord, why don't we ask for peace and give Cao Shuo some food and grass!"

Yuan Shao said helplessly: "How could the other party agree to this situation!"

Cao Shuo's soldiers and horses were almost at the gate of the city, and it would be impossible to seek peace at this time. Cao Shuo wished that he would die early so that he could unify the entire Qingzhou, and then organize his forces and start attacking others.

He is now a thorn in Cao Shuo's side, and it's okay when Tao Qian is around, but now that Tao Qian has surrendered, he is directly surrounded by Cao Shuo's forces.

It is impossible for anyone to ignore such a hidden danger. His only way out now is to find a way to break out of the encirclement and seek refuge with Yuan Shu or Sun Ce.

After all, I still have soldiers and generals under my command, so maybe I'm still useful.

Wang Xiu asked: "Your Majesty, if we don't seek peace, the capital may not last long. Once we are besieged by Cao Shuo's army, it will be too late to leave."

Yuan Shao said depressedly: "What about so many family members? The army must pack lightly for a long-distance raid."

Cao Shuo has a lot of cavalry, if he wants to escape the pursuit of Cao Shuo's cavalry, he may have to give up everything.

"Report!"

"Ju County, the administrative center of Beihai, was breached. Four generals, Tian Yu, Gongsun Zan, Pang De, and Yan Rou, led an army of nearly [-] troops, and came towards Dong'anping."

Dong'anping was only less than [-] miles away from Linzi, and Dong'anping didn't have many defenders. Once it fell, he would really be besieged in the city.

"Report, the eldest son died in battle in Linqu, and most of his soldiers surrendered Zang Ba."

"Report, Gao Yuan has been breached, and Hua Xiong has led an army of [-] soldiers to the city!"

Yuan Shao panicked and ran from the south gate to the north gate in a hurry. When he saw the army outside the city, he slumped on the ground.

It's over, it's over.

He originally planned to join Yuan Shu, but now that Cao Shuo's army has attacked the city, he has no chance to escape, the waterway is impassable, and the cavalry can't get rid of by land, maybe Cao Shuo will find an excuse and kill him directly Own.

Yuan Shao's youngest son, Yuan Shang, said: "Father, I still have 20 soldiers defending the city of Linzi, and there are nearly [-] people in the city who can participate in the defense of the city. As long as we can hold it for three months, the opponent will definitely withdraw."

Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Don't talk about three months, it's a question of whether you can keep it for one month."

"Father, is this discouraged? Thinking about how glorious I was, the fourth generation and third son of the Yuan family, as a man and a man, I deserve to die!"

Yuan Shao sighed and said, "It's too late, we can't defeat Cao Shuo."

"Father, my son is willing to lead [-] cavalry, fight out of the city, fight a bloody road for father, and leave Qi!"

Wang Xiu also persuaded: "Your Majesty, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about no firewood. We must make a decision as soon as possible."

"Escape? Where are you going?"

Yuan Shao figured it out, for his son, for his concubines, he absolutely surrendered.

"Surrender Kaesong!"

"what?"

The civil and military ministers around him looked confused and surrendered without even hitting them?

Does the lord no longer have the fighting spirit of the past?
"The generals under him were either captured or killed. It is impossible for us to repel Cao Shuo. If we continue to defend, our army will only suffer heavy casualties."

Yuan Shang hurriedly persuaded: "Father, no!"

"There is no need to persuade me anymore, let's make it happen, surrender now, we still have some face!"

In 192, on May 25, Yuan Shao was afraid of Cao Shuo's strength and surrendered in Kaesong.

For this reason, Cao Shuo rushed to Linzi to take over Yuan Shao's army.

Cao Shuo looked at Yuan Shao and said, "Your son Yuan Tan died in battle, please be grateful and obedient."

Yuan Shao seemed to be more than ten years old, and said with dull eyes: "On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and it's also my fault that I didn't teach him too much."

"Yuan Aiqing, do you plan to be an official or rest?"

Yuan Shao shook his head and said, "Please allow me to go back to my hometown for the elderly!"

Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "Then I will choose a suitable location for you in Runan."

Cao Mengde gave birth to a good son.

If he had such a tyrannical son, it would be Cao Mengde who surrendered in Kaesong today.
