Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 96

Chunyu Qiong cupped his hands and said, "The last general takes orders!"

Yuan Xi called to Chunyu Qiong who turned to leave, "Uncle Chunyu, take it easy."

Chunyu Qiong looked back at him.

"Remember to assemble the army in one place, don't give Cao Jun an opportunity, Guo Jia is cunning, so be careful."

"Second Young Master, don't worry, you will understand in the end."

After thinking about it, Chunyu Qiong asked Jia Xu to go and chase Cao Jun together.

Yuan Xi agreed immediately, feeling even more satisfied with Chunchun Yuqiong's performance.

In mid-January, [-] AD, the Ma and Cao coalition forces fought among themselves. Cao Pi defeated the Ma family army and was subsequently defeated by the Yuan army who rushed over.

Yuan Jun took the opportunity to take Luoshui, and then the army went straight to Yongning and the Lu family. After less than half a month, they completely took the area from Lu to Yongning, forming a siege to Hongnong.

In February, Yuan Xi sent a letter to the defenders of Xingyang, from Luoshui to Luoyang, and then captured Caoyang.

In mid-March, Yuan Jun's two armies converged and gathered in Hongnong.

At the end of March, the general Hongnong surrendered.

So far, it only took Yuan Xi more than four months to lead his army to completely occupy the vast territory from Wuguan to the west of Hangu Pass.

Cao Jun led tens of thousands of remnants and retreated to the pass.

Yuan Jun's [-] troops, Chen Bing Hanguguan area.

However, Yuan Xi did not go any further, because the food and grass in the rear were in serious emergency.

There was no food and grass for two months, and Yuan Xizheng planned to continue urging.

Then I got a message that Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan led the army to help the battle.

Inside the Yiyang Prefect's Mansion.

"Second Young Master, they are here to grab credit."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Chunyu Qiong was filled with joy, and felt that following the young man in front of him was the most correct choice he had made in his life.

In just four months, Cao Jun was driven back to the pass again.

Yuan Xi became famous in this battle. In the Hebei area, the limelight was unmatched for a while, and the reputation of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang was completely suppressed.

On the front line, Yuan Xi has absolute prestige.

So far, the general trend has been achieved, even if Yuan Shao doesn't care anymore, Yuan Xi has become a force that cannot be ignored.

In Jizhou, the forces supporting Yuan Xi united to form a firm force.

Although the momentum cannot be compared with Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang with deep foundations, compared with the previous without foundation, the speed of Yuan Xi's rise is too dazzling.

It has reached the point where it cannot be ignored.

"If you don't give me more food and grass, you still want to come and grab credit, haha."

Yuan Xi's face was gloomy. If he hadn't captured the area east of Hangu Pass and had the grain and grass from Xingyang to support him, Yuan Jun still doesn't know what kind of predicament he would be in.

For Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi hated Yuan Shang to the extreme.

Chunyu Qiong hesitated for a while, and said softly: "Second Young Master, you should be careful. Although you have a great reputation and outstanding military exploits, there are not many people who support you in Xuchang and Jizhou. Most people still support Third Young Master and First Young Master." ah."

Yuan Xi said expressionlessly: "Let's see what my brother thinks when he comes this time."

Changing the subject without mentioning it, Yuan Xi said, "Have you found Ma Chao?"

Chunyu Qiong shook his head, "Ma Chao lost countless troops and lost many generals, and he is currently missing."

Yuan Xi frowned slightly. He thought that although Ma Chao was defeated, he would have many troops with him, but he did not expect such a miserable defeat.

It has been several months, and there is no news about Ma Chao.

"Where's Le Jin?" Yuan Xi asked again.

Speaking of Le Jin, Chunyu Qiong laughed, and said: "Zhong De has been persuading him since he came in, and he wants to come here for a while. After his injury is completely healed, it will not be a problem to work for the lord."

Yuan Xi was in a good mood, and said: "Le Jin is a tough guy, but it's okay, after such a person is subdued, he will serve me wholeheartedly."

Chunyu Qiong praised: "Le Jin will be a sharp knife for the master in the future."

Yuan Xi picked up the map and looked at it, then fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Chunyu Qiong retreated in a low voice.

Yuan Xi looked away from the map and looked at Qin Wu who was waiting at the door.

Not long after, Chunyu Qiong entered the room again.

"Second son, the eldest son has a letter."

Yuan Xi said: "What's the matter?"

Chunyu Qiong opened the letter, read it for a while, and became excited.

"It's the eldest son who is showing his favor to us. The letter also said that he and the third son are now united and plan to deal with the second son."

Yuan Xi snorted, "What else?"

It was no secret that the two of them joined forces to deal with him.

He was gaining momentum, and both of them felt threatened, and it was normal for them to jointly deal with him.

Not to mention, Yuan Xi has already imitated it.

Chunyu Qiong lowered his voice and said: "Eldest Young Master said he doesn't trust Third Young Master. As long as Second Young Master you express your support for him, he can join forces with Second Young Master to deal with Third Young Master together."

In Xingyang City.

Yuan Shang looked at the letter in his hand, his face was livid.

The counselor Feng Ji glanced at him, and sighed: "A certain person said that Yuan Tan is not trustworthy, but now he really turned his back on him, and secretly cooperated with Yuan Xi to deal with you, the third son."

Yuan Shang tore up the letter, frowned and said, "What should we do now?"

"Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan are both great enemies, but Yuan Xi only has military achievements, but has no support. Compared with this, I think Yuan Tan is more difficult to deal with."

Yuan Shang nodded secretly, he was not afraid of Yuan Tan, but he was the eldest son, so he couldn't avoid it.

At the same time, this is also the main reason why many people support Yuan Tan.

Yuan Xi is different, he only has military merits, and not many people support him.

And he has his father's support, this point, as long as he is not the eldest son, no matter how great Yuan Xi's military achievements are, he cannot compare with his advantage.

Feng Ji smiled slightly, "Although Yuan Xi has made great contributions, he has not shown too much ambition. The eldest son can win him over, and we can win him over too."

Yuan Shang's expression was solemn, "How could Yuan Tan take the first step, how could Yuan Xi trust me?"

"Simple."

Feng Ji smiled slightly, Zhizhu in his hands, "At present, Yuan Xi is most worried about being seized of power, and the fruits of victory will be picked by others. As long as we work hard here and show sincerity, Yuan Xi has no reason not to trust me."

Yuan Shang still frowned tightly.

Feng Ji smiled and said, "Third Young Master, think about it, if you compete with Yuan Tan, whoever wins will be the most detrimental to him?"

"Of course it's Yuan Tan. He's the boss, and he beat me again. Yuan Xi has no hope at all."

"That's it," Feng Ji said softly, "Second Young Master is currently in a position. He will think for himself if he takes the initiative, and he must have his own plans. Therefore, he will choose us instead of helping Yuan Tan."

Yuan Shang's eyes lit up, "Sir, what you said is true. Although Yuan Xi is difficult to deal with, he is no match for Yuan Tan. If I kill Yuan Tan, I will win more than half of it."

Feng Ji caressed his beard, "I'll let someone pass the news of Qin Wu to the second young master."

Yuan Shang was stunned, and grabbed Feng Ji who was about to leave, "Military teacher, why are you doing this?"

Feng Ji sighed, and said: "Someone made a mistake in the previous plan, Qin Wu may be discovered by Yuan Xi."
