Chapter 584 Yuan Shao's Surrender

In the early spring of 200 AD, many people were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival, but more people fell to the frontier.

Yuan Shang was ambushed by Wang Yu on the way to retreat, and finally chose to surrender, taking 2 remnants of soldiers to accept Wang Yu's incorporation.Many captives were treated well, and [-] people survived to the maximum extent.

It was already planned that more than 1 people died on the way to escape. Unexpectedly, as the entire army was captured, more than 8000 people finally survived.Yuan Shang looked at those soldiers of his own army who sang praises for the king, and his mood was very complicated.

Xu Huang invaded Ji County, and Yuan Xi finally went south to escape successfully and became the only one who was not captured.However, he abandoned the huge territory to escape, and even got the trial match captured by Xu Huang, which made Yuan Shao completely disappointed in him.

Originally, Yuan Shao had already arranged a marriage for Yuan Xi, and the other party was Zhen Mi, the youngest daughter of the Zhen family in Yecheng.However, after this incident, it seemed that the Zhen family was not so active in promoting this marriage, and Yuan Shao felt embarrassed to bring up this matter with the other party.

Everyone can see that Yuan Shao is finished, and now only Jizhou is left in the huge Hebei territory.This territory is still very large, and it would definitely allow him to rise again in the past. However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the battle with Gongsun Zan, and the subsequent battle with the imperial army and Li Ming army, it has become empty and seriously underpopulated.

"It's over... Everyone, tell me! What should we do next?" Yuan Shao sat on the top seat decadently, as if he had aged several years.

Those who are well-informed know that after receiving the news that Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan were captured, Yuan Shao vomited blood, passed out for a while, and almost gave up his life.

Yuan Xi was beside Yuan Shao, and wanted to refute a few words, but didn't know how to refute.Now Yuan Shao still has [-] troops under his command, but the supplies have been exhausted after the battle at the airport.The aristocratic family that was originally attached to Yuan Shao has been completely disappointed in him.

"Li Ming is quite indifferent to the aristocratic family. Surrendering to Li Ming is the way to die." Many officials from aristocratic families came forward to persuade them. The aristocratic family is patronizing, and even the Taiyuan Wang family has a certain right to speak, so if they join the imperial court, their life is guaranteed, but it is hard to say if they go to Li Ming's side.

"That's not the case!" Tian Feng stood up, "Li Ming and we are all the same way. If we take refuge in him, the lord can still be preserved. For example, Gongsun Zan had a good relationship with Li Ming before. Now he is allowed to return to Liaoxi, although he did not It was so brilliant before, but at least it can be reused. Another example is Lu Bu, who was named General Pingxi, under the direct control of Li Ming, and belonged to the Zhengxi Army. If the lord passes by, he will not be left out no matter what. Not to mention, the eldest son He and the third son are still in their hands!"

Yuan Shao also nodded when he heard the words, it seems that the best choice is to seek refuge with Li Ming.For the aristocratic family, taking refuge in the court is the best choice, because it is related to their future status and influence.But for him, there are more benefits to relying on Li Ming, not to mention anything else, but after Liu Zhang surrendered, he is now almost under house arrest, so he can understand that if he surrenders in the past, I'm afraid...

"No, Cao Cao and Kong Rong also surrendered to the imperial court. Aren't they living well now?" Xu You stepped forward. Kong Rong served as an important minister in the imperial court. Not low.

"Yes, yes..." Many courtiers responded one after another, and this call accounted for the majority.

In the past, Yuan Shao might not have agreed to their opinions. After all, he was indecisive, and he would inevitably hesitate a while when faced with a choice. Even if he was sure in the end, it was often a relatively conservative opinion.

However, he also has a potential, that is, once he is forced to a desperate situation, he will explode with powerful abilities.At this moment, for him, he was also in a state of desperation, so he could clearly see the disgusting faces of everyone present.

"Gonghe (Ju Shou Biaozi), what do you think?" Yuan Shao tended to rely on Li Ming, but he also had to worry about the family's ideas, otherwise, there might be a big change in the army tomorrow. Among other things, Ji Ling first He will never surrender to Li Ming.

"My lord, the imperial court will not accept Jizhou. In the past, the imperial court received Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Jingzhou. As a result, Li Ming attacked from multiple directions, so that it was hard to see from the beginning to the end. We defeated Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and Li Ming also took Yingchuan. And Jingzhou. Even if we are willing to surrender this time, he will not want Jizhou. In other words, Jizhou will eventually fall into Li Ming's hands.

The intention of the imperial court was very clear, they hoped to use the power of Jizhou and Youzhou, especially the Hu people, to hold back Li Ming, and then take the opportunity to attack the city and seize the territory.It's nothing more than returning the way of the other to the other.

We are caught in the middle, the situation is very embarrassing, Li Ming may not want us to seek refuge, after all, they also need to digest the three territories of Yanzhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou.The meaning of the subordinate is that we can let the second son be in charge of the four counties of Qinghe County, Bohai County, Zhongshan County and Hejian County, and express his support to Li Ming; Lu Jun, Zhao Jun and Wei Jun can declare their allegiance to the imperial court. "

As a result, the territory was still in Yuan Shao's hands, but Jizhou had been split into two parts in name, belonging to the imperial court and Li Ming respectively.Neither of the two families would actually send troops to settle in, so Yuan Shao would be able to linger on for a while.After recuperating for a period of time like this, it may not be impossible to rise again.

"Well, that's the only way to go! It's just, my two children?" Yuan Shao was in a bit of a dilemma. Both Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan were in Li Ming's hands, so what's the difference between giving Jizhou to Li Ming?
"If it is not expected, there is a high probability that Li Ming will let the eldest son come back, and at the same time send Yuan Shang to Guanzhong to the court." Tian Feng thought for a while, and then reported.

"Hehe, it should be like this..." Yuan Shao was not stupid, and naturally knew why this happened.Yuan Tan has always been very unhappy with Yuan Shang, and Yuan Shang has always been very unhappy with Yuan Tan.He is still alive now, so everything is fine. Once something happens to him, Yuan Tan will inevitably take the four counties to oppose the court, and may even seek refuge with Li Ming.On the contrary, Yuan Shang will also find a way to deal with Yuan Tan with the help of the court.

"It's all worrying!" Yuan Shao smiled wryly, when did the brothers fight for power like this.Think about it carefully, in fact, since their generation, isn't it like this?
It is precisely because Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu dislike each other that the Yuan Clan is divided into two.Now the second generation also dislike each other, resulting in a further split, the Yuan Clan is afraid that they will fall apart eventually.

Yuan Xi shrank his head, if he said he was not at ease, he would not be able to escape.

In February 200 AD, Yuan Shao formally broke with Yuan Xi and expelled him from his family, but allocated the land of the four counties to him.Yuan Xi publicly stated that he would take refuge in Li Ming, and Yuan Shao also formally wrote a plea letter to the court, admitting all previous crimes, hoping to return to the court.

Unsurprisingly, the court accepted his surrender, but did not let him withdraw, and at the same time appointed him General Zhengdong.Li Ming accepted Yuan Xi's refuge and did not send troops to settle in. The Yuan Clan temporarily survived, but their reputation was completely shattered.
